Chapter 45: Cold Water quenches fire

In the end, Si Zhanbei really couldn't take it anymore. He risked waking up Sheng Fenghua and pushed her away with great difficulty. Then, he ran out of the room and rushed into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

He took a shower twice in a row, and only then did the fire in his heart slowly subside.

After changing his clothes and coming out, Si Zhanbei no longer dared to enter Sheng Fenghua's room. He sat on the sofa and began to read as he had said.

Without the human-shaped pillow, Sheng Fenghua turned around uncomfortably. She muttered something and fell asleep again.

By the time she woke up, half an afternoon had already passed.

Sheng Fenghua got up from the bed and walked out of the room. She glanced at Si Zhanbei who was still sitting on the sofa, reading. She went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

"You didn't go to work?" Sheng Fenghua sat down opposite Si Zhanbei and asked. In the morning, she didn't inquire because she thought he had taken half a day off to pick her up from the hospital.

However, he was still at home in the afternoon, which surprised her a little. From the memories of her previous self, Si Zhanbei was a very busy person. Even on a holiday, she often didn't see him.

So, today, he was actually at home all day, which made her feel a little strange.

"The higher-ups gave me a day off." Si Zhanbei raised his head to look at Sheng Fenghua and explained.

"Oh." Sheng Fenghua nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, she began to size up the entire living room. Now that she was the master, the house had to be properly decorated. She planned to buy the things that were missing from the house the next day.

In order to prevent herself from forgetting, Sheng Fenghua decided to write it down. So, she raised her head and glanced at Si Zhanbei, asking, "Do you have any paper and pen at home?"

"Yes, I'll go get them for you." Si Zhanbei did not ask what she wanted to do. He put down the book in his hand, went straight into the room, took out the paper and pen, and handed it to her.

After that, Sheng Fenghua bent down and started writing on the coffee table.

She wrote down half a sheet of paper before she finished jotting down the things she wanted to buy.

"What did you write?" Si Zhanbei had been sitting at the side the whole time. He only asked after Sheng Fenghua finished writing.

"Some things I need to buy for our home," Sheng Fenghua said as she handed the finished paper to him. "Take a look. If there's anything missing, I'll go buy it tomorrow."

Si Zhanbei took the paper and didn't say anything. Instead, he read it seriously. Sheng Fenghua's handwriting was very beautiful. It was impossible to tell that she was someone who had never read a book before.

Wait a minute, if she had never read a book, how could she know how to write? Moreover, her handwriting was so elegant, like floating clouds and rushing water. It was extremely beautiful.

While thinking that Sheng Fenghua had never read a book, Si Zhanbei stared at this beautiful handwriting and felt a little strange. He looked up at her and wanted to ask something, but in the end, he did not voice it out.

Forget it, Sheng Fenghua definitely had secrets, but if she did not say it, he would not ask.

After reading the list that Sheng Fenghua had written, Si Zhanbei added a few more words.

Sheng Fenghua took a closer look and saw that it was about clothes. She glanced up at Si Zhanbei with some confusion and heard him say, "You have to buy a few sets of clothes. I've been saying that I'll go shopping with you, but I didn't have time. Since I'm free tomorrow, I'll go shopping with you."

"You're going with me?" Sheng Fenghua was stunned. She looked at Si Zhanbei in disbelief and said, "You don't have to go to work?"

"I'm on vacation!" Si Zhanbei spat out the words indifferently. After returning the paper to Sheng Fenghua, he got up and went to his room.
