But is the boy really a heartless person?
No, Miss Su Shi gave a firm answer from the bottom of her heart.
Not long ago, he used his body to shield the black-haired girl from the coldness emanating from the walls and floor inside the Ring.
His fist was clenched tightly in front of Miss Lixi at that time.
His body was trembling.
Everything about him testifies to the turmoil in his heart.
Miss Su Shi believed that Chen wouldn't abandon Li Xi at her house and leave without looking back.
So when she received that message that sounded like a farewell, she rushed out without hesitation.
In terms of how disheveled he looked, the boy was even more disheveled than when Li Xi had first appeared before her.
There wasn't a single dry spot on his body; countless water droplets, drawn by gravity, streamed down his hair, his fingertips, and his trouser legs.
With a slight effort, Miss Su Shi opened her umbrella, creating a tranquil dome above the boy's head.
It wasn't until the two were so close that Miss Su Shi noticed a smear of crimson in the liquid flowing from the boy's fingertips.
"Don't worry about me, go back and take care of Lixi."
As if fleeing, the boy took two steps forward, leaving the umbrella that Miss Su Shi had held up for him.
Just as he braced himself to be whipped by the cold again, an umbrella appeared above his head as if by magic.
No matter which direction he goes or how far he travels.
The umbrella that sheltered him from the cold and dampness accompanied him on his journey.
Finally, he exploded.
"I told you, leave me alone!..."

He turned and looked at the girl who had been silent beside him.
While holding the umbrella for him, half of her clothes also became damp.
No matter how much regret, no matter how much anger
They all stopped abruptly when they saw the girl still smiling at him.
He's already made enough mistakes; does he really want to direct this anger, which is directed at him, at the young girl who cares about him?!
Silently, he took the umbrella from Miss Su Shi's somewhat awkward hands.
He carefully placed his soaked half-body within the umbrella's coverage area.
Unbeknownst to Chen, Miss Su Shi's lips had already curled into a wide smile.
This little trick is just an appetizer for today.
Such a good opportunity, when a teenager's defenses are most vulnerable.
Her intuition told her that if she didn't seize this opportunity, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
The boy's mind was already complicated enough.
Verbal communication is not the strategy we should be implementing right now.
What she should do now is to eliminate all the boy's physical discomfort.
The door was opened, almost by force.
Trailing a long trail of water, Miss Su Shi led the boy to the bathroom door.
"Take off your clothes and go take a shower. You're soaking wet; you'll get sick if you're not careful."
"I'll leave a towel by the bathroom door; you can put it on after you're done showering."
Before the boy's somewhat puzzled gaze could linger on her for long, Miss Su Shi pushed Chen into the bathroom.
"I'll go get Lixi her medicine first. Just put your clothes in the washing machine. Don't worry about the change of clothes, I'll take care of that."
"Be a good boy! I don't want to have another person I need to take care of!"
Mechanically, the boy obeyed Miss Su Shi's orders.
He turned on the showerhead, and within moments, the water spraying down from above reached a comfortable temperature, washing away the chill from his body.
But the warmth on his body couldn't penetrate his heart, which felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
"I've left the towels and bath towels by the door, please remember to take them."
As Miss Su Shi spoke from outside the door, the boy turned off the showerhead that was emitting warmth, slightly opened the bathroom door a crack, and reached out his hand.
Miss Su Shi gave Li Xi the medicine and left a towel and bath towel in front of the bathroom door.
After giving the boy in the bathroom a heads-up, Miss Su Shi walked to the door.
The rain had lessened a bit, and she was going out to buy some clothes for Chen and Lixi.
Just as she was about to open the front door, she heard a sound coming from the bathroom door.
A hand reached out from the gap and took the bath towel and hand towel she had prepared into the bathroom.
"Give me a nice bath! You're not allowed to leave the bathroom until I get back!"
From the time Miss Su Shi pushed Chen into the bathroom until she was about to leave, less than ten minutes had passed.
Having been drenched in the rain for so long, ten minutes was far from enough for Chen.
Miss Su Shi was also very concerned about the boy's health.
The hand that reached out from the crack paused for a moment, momentarily stunned by the girl's words.
Miss Su Shi quickly stepped forward and took the towel and bath towel back into her hands.
Only in this way can we ensure that Chen will not sneak out of the bathroom when she is not at home.
Miss Su Shi shoved the outstretched arm back in and closed the bathroom door tightly again.
Close the door and press the elevator button.
Miss Su Shi, who wasn't short of money, took a taxi directly to the nearest shopping mall.
As a woman myself, and having taken care of Miss Lixi twice at home...
Su Shi had almost figured out Miss Li Xi's clothing size.
Miss Lixi did not spend much time on her shopping.
However, Miss Su Shi encountered a problem when it came to buying clothes for Chen.
She didn't know what size clothes to buy, and kept picking and choosing.
Underwear is relatively lightweight, so buying several pieces won't take up much space.
Therefore, her choice was to buy every size that Chen might wear.
Finally, she also bought a pair of pajamas that were close to the largest size.
After all, Chen needed to move around a bit more at her house. And the weather was getting colder and colder.
His clothes, meant to keep him warm, were soaked through; even if he started washing them immediately, they wouldn't dry quickly.
Whether the word "sleep" in pajamas can truly fulfill its original meaning depends on the right timing, location, and people.
It must be said, Miss Su Shi's aura is incredibly deceptive.
Miss Su Shi's choice of men's clothing aroused no suspicion from any of the shop assistants; they simply assumed she was a wife selecting clothes for her husband.
After the bill was settled, the sky, which had softened slightly, once again unleashed its fury upon the earth.
Gale-force winds, torrential rain...
The umbrella was no longer of any use, even though a taxi could shield her from the wind and rain along the way.
However, during the up-and-down motion, Miss Su Shi's body inevitably became even more damp.
The terrible road conditions and the indecisiveness while choosing clothes had already wasted a lot of Miss Su Shi's time.
But, it should be fine, right?
After all, she had already made arrangements for both Chen and Lixi before she left.
He opened the door and casually put down the somewhat heavy bag containing Li Xi and Chen's clothes.
Holding a bath towel and a hand towel, Ms. Su Shi knocked on the bathroom door.
"I'm back~ I've put your things back by the door. Remember to pick them up when you're done washing."
Strangely, no response came from the bathroom.
Chapter 99 Almost Gets Solo Killed in the Bathtub
People generally don't make the same mistake twice.
If you make the same mistake twice, the consequences will generally be much more severe than the first time.
For most families in Donghuang, a bathtub is not a very common item in the home.
Naturally, Chen didn't have much experience using bathtubs.
Even if the hotel you stay in while traveling has this feature, it's usually prohibited from being used by family members due to concerns about hygiene.
Moreover, Chen doesn't have many good memories of bathtubs.
Yes, he almost fainted once because he soaked in the water for too long.
Dizziness, tinnitus, chest tightness, difficulty breathing
He didn't even have the strength to climb out of the bathtub on his own.
Fortunately, his phone was nearby, so he called his mother and asked her to come and rescue him.
Otherwise, if it had gone on any longer, he would have been one-on-one killed by the bathtub.
The current situation is exactly the same as the predicament he faced before.
Miss Su Shi took away all the towels and bath towels, while his clothes had already been thrown into the washing machine.
Even though he managed to clean himself while Miss Su Shi was out, he still had no clothes to change into.
What happened in just one afternoon was enough to torment his mind and body.
Let's wait until Miss Su Shi returns. She's probably just going to buy him and Li Xi some clothes; it won't take long.
With this thought in mind, Chen's body did not leave the bathtub.
What he hadn't anticipated was that Miss Su Shi returned too late.
By the time he realized he was feeling unwell in the bathtub, it was too late.
Help! How do I ask for help? Who should I ask for help?
My phone had been placed in the living room beforehand and wasn't with me at the moment.
He was unable to send a distress message to anyone.
Shout loudly?
The Su family's residence was large enough that the sound would attenuate to the point that no one could hear it.
Li Xi is a patient and should be in a coma right now.
Even if he shouted at 200% volume, Miss Lixi still wouldn't be able to hear him.
Moreover, the bathtub from Su Shi Jia is also extremely luxurious.
No matter how much time has passed, the water temperature has remained constant.
He had too much body heat that he couldn't dissipate.
In his final moments before losing consciousness, he heard Miss Su Shi calling out.
This is incredibly embarrassing...
Before everything turned to darkness, that was the only thought in his mind.

A vague unease crept into Miss Su Shi's heart.
