Chapter 119

However, after lying there for a good while, Ye Qingfeng had no sleepiness at all. That made sense, after all, he had only woken up about an hour ago.

He prepared to get up to see if anyone had sent him any "Knock-Knock" messages.

Just as he picked up his phone, the ringtone sounded.

Although there was no contact name, he felt the number was quite familiar, so he clicked to answer immediately and held it to his ear.

"Mr. Ye Qingfeng, please do not speak first. Answer my question truthfully: is Rina by your side?"

After Rina dashed out the door, Lycaon thought about it and finally made this call.

There was no other reason; Corin hadn't sent Ye Qingfeng to the hospital, but he was afraid Rina would "poison" Ye Qingfeng into the hospital.

"Uh... no."

Although Ye Qingfeng didn't know why Lycaon would ask this and was full of confusion, he answered truthfully.

"Understood." Lycaon breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Ye Qingfeng could still talk to him meant that the "terrible" thing hadn't happened yet. "Please, you must stay quiet and don't let Rina discover you."

"Uh... okay, Mr. Lycaon, go ahead."

"Rina should be in the kitchen cooking right now, right?"

"That's right, is there a problem?"

Seeing Lycaon's hesitant look, Ye Qingfeng was full of questions and asked.

"There is a problem! A big problem!"

Lycaon hadn't expected Ye Qingfeng to still be so nonchalant, and unable to maintain his composure, he immediately raised his voice.

"There's no way to stop it now. If the food Rina makes is passable, Mr. Ye Qingfeng, you can try it; after all, you are a patient, and she shouldn't make anything too bizarre."

"But! If you see something unspeakable in a moment, do not hesitate at all; immediately send Rina away, preferably without arousing her suspicion, for example, by asking her to help get some water or something similar."

"Then call the hospital immediately and say you're feeling unwell; as for the food problem, it can be solved at the hospital."

"Mr. Lycaon, you're joking; Miss Rina's hobby is cooking, 'unspeakable' is too much of an exaggeration."

Ye Qingfeng chuckled nonchalantly. In his heart, Miss Rina was so gentle and virtuous, how could she not know how to cook?

Just then, without warning, Rina's voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Is the client on the phone? Did I come at a bad time?"

"You might have some misunderstanding about Rina, she..." Lycaon wanted to say something more, but Rina's voice came through the phone.

He didn't hesitate at all and hung up the phone directly, not forgetting to remind him: "Mr. Ye Qingfeng, don't forget what I said!"

Only then did Ye Qingfeng realize that Rina had floated over directly; no wonder he hadn't heard footsteps before.

What shocked him even more was that the tray Rina was holding had black gas drifting from it when seen from afar.

This... what is this? Even if you're poisoning someone, you don't have to be so direct!

At this moment, he finally understood what Lycaon's words meant.

"Hey! Hey! Wait... wait a second, don't hang up yet!" Ye Qingfeng widened his eyes, quickly raising the phone as if to save it, shouting anxiously at the phone. However, only the "beep-beep" sound of a disconnected call remained on the other end.

"Aha~ let me guess, is the client about to say, 'Miss Rina, can you help me go to the kitchen and get something to drink?'"

"Miss Rina, can you help me go to the kit..." Ye Qingfeng had just started speaking when he suddenly remembered Lycaon's instructions and subconsciously wanted to send Rina away first. But halfway through, he looked up at Rina in disbelief, as if asking how she knew what he was going to say.

Rina landed slowly, making a crisp sound, then walked toward Ye Qingfeng at a leisurely pace, explaining patiently as she walked:

"It was Lycaon calling you, right? That's right, whenever I make desserts for him to taste, he likes to use this excuse."

"Then, when I go to get him water, he hides the dessert and says something like he's already finished it and it was delicious."

While speaking, Rina had already walked to the bedside, placed the tea tray on the nightstand, then took out the hidden drink from under the tray, shook it triumphantly, stroked her cheek, and pouted her pink little mouth slightly.

Afterward, she locked her gaze on Ye Qingfeng, wearing a faint smile, and asked gently and softly: "Is there anything else you need me to get?"

"No... nothing else..." Although Ye Qingfeng was looking at Rina, his peripheral vision was fixed on the food on the nightstand, his attention completely drawn to that plate of things.

No, it was hard to call that food anymore...

However, it wouldn't be accurate to call it "unspeakable."

Not to mention how it tasted, just looking at the presentation made it hard to swallow.

It could barely be identified as a plate of fried rice, fried to a charred black; he didn't know if it was burnt or if she had added too much soy sauce.

The most outrageous thing was that there was a fish stuck in the middle of the rice, and the dead fish eyes on the fish head were staring straight at him.

If that were all, it would be fine.

The key was, what was that black sauce on the rice? Why would there be sauce on fried rice!!!

"Here, client, the water you wanted!" Rina held the drink with both hands and handed it to Ye Qingfeng.

Ye Qingfeng took it subconsciously, just about to unscrew the cap when he discovered it was already loose.

He looked up at Rina, who was wearing a gentle smile, then raised it to his mouth and took a big gulp, his brain spinning rapidly, pondering a solution.

Right now, it seemed the only thing he could do was stall, stall, and stall again!

"Um... Miss Rina, you keep calling me 'client,' it's too distant." Ye Qingfeng said while quietly moving slowly in the opposite direction of the fried rice on the nightstand. "If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name, call me Qingfeng."

"It was my oversight! Then, Gentleman Qingfeng can also call me Rina directly!" Rina clasped her hands together, revealing an apologetic smile. "It's getting late, it's time for lunch. If you're feeling unwell, I'd be very happy to help!"

GENT... GENTLEMAN!! She called me "gentleman"!! Big sister, I can let you feed me!

Ye Qingfeng straightened his back instantly. Setting aside the fried rice, he was actually quite happy in his heart...

But obviously, he couldn't ignore the food that was about to enter his mouth and stomach...

"... Um, Rina." Ye Qingfeng's just-straightened shoulders suddenly relaxed. Mimicking Nico's previous cute act, he looked at Rina with a pair of pitiful, large eyes, attempting to act cute and beg for mercy.

Rina saw Ye Qingfeng's watery, large eyes and couldn't help but soften inside.

But thinking that he was still sick, and this was obviously an act to avoid eating, she refused before Ye Qingfeng could even speak: "No way~ Gentleman Qingfeng~! If you don't eat properly, when will your illness get better!"
