The two chatted very happily, and suddenly, a look of annoyance appeared on Ye Zhi's face.
Why did it happen again?
It was one thing for their previous dates to feel like meetings, but now watching a movie had turned into an exchange among fellow enthusiasts?
Seeing her suddenly become a little troubled, Qi Xuan was slightly taken aback. "Ah Zhi, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Ye Zhi sighed helplessly. "I just feel like I'm ruining the mood. I've turned a good date into something without any dating atmosphere..."
"Are you happy this way?" Qi Xuan asked.
Ye Zhi was stunned and nodded truthfully.
"Then don't worry about it," Qi Xuan gently took her hand. "Ah Zhi, we go on dates so that we can be happy together. You don't need to change yourself for the sake of dating; that will only make you uncomfortable. Our dates are not about doing what other couples do, but about doing things that make us happy."
Ye Zhi felt a warmth in her heart. "And you, are you happy too?"
"Of course," Qi Xuan smiled faintly. "As long as I'm with you, I'm happy no matter what we do. Even if..."
Qi Xuan paused, took a deep breath, and said with a hint of amusement, "Even if I'm your 'Little Darling Qi'."
"Did you see those trending searches?" Ye Zhi asked somewhat awkwardly.
"Mm, I saw them," a mischievous glint flashed in Qi Xuan's eyes. "CEO Ye, I want a kiss, I want a hug~"
To actually see Qi Xuan acting spoiled, Ye Zhi felt a surge of warmth in her chest. She stood up directly. "Here! CEO Ye will give you a kiss and a hug... Ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, Qi Xuan grabbed her wrist. With a slight pull, Ye Zhi's body tilted, and she sat directly into Qi Xuan's arms.
The next moment, Qi Xuan's arms wrapped around her waist, and he leaned close to her ear, whispering, "CEO Ye, want to see your 'Little Darling Qi' acting like a puppy in public and a wolf in private, hmm?"
"I... Mmph!" Before Ye Zhi could finish her words, Qi Xuan kissed her deeply.
The air in the audiovisual room seemed to instantly heat up.
...
The door to the audiovisual room opened, and Qi Xuan escorted Ye Zhi home. Her cheeks were flushed, and her hair was slightly disheveled.
When Qi Xuan returned, the butler looked at him with a gossipy expression. "Young Master, Miss Ye's face is so red. You and Miss Ye... you two..."
Seeing the butler's ambiguous smile, Qi Xuan said helplessly, "No."
The butler was taken aback. "What's going on? The atmosphere was clearly ambiguous when you two came out. Did Miss Ye reject you?"
"No, I hit the brakes at the last moment," Qi Xuan sighed leisurely.
The atmosphere tonight was great, and both of them were very impulsive. An impulsive kiss was like a spark igniting a prairie fire; they had almost gone all the way.
However, Qi Xuan was the first to regain his senses and forcibly stopped himself.
"Young Master, are you even capable?" the butler asked, exasperated.
"Butler, it was too sudden tonight, I wasn't ready," Qi Xuan said truthfully.
"What more do you need to prepare? Are you talking about protection? I can help you buy it!" the butler said with a look of disappointment.
"More than that," Qi Xuan said in a deep voice. "I also need a detailed health report to prove that I don't have any illnesses, nor any strange contagious diseases. Butler, although you know me well and trust me, for Ye Zhi, before we knew each other, she wasn't involved in my past. She only knows what she's heard. Nothing can reassure her more than a detailed health report. This is also necessary."
The butler was stunned for a moment, then nodded in complete agreement. "Young Master, you are right! This is also responsible for you and Miss Ye. I was presumptuous before."
Qi Xuan smiled slightly, not taking it to heart.

On the island, Ou Minghan had been starving for several days.
In fact, Ou Tiantian would bring him food once a day, depending on her mood. However, he would secretly reduce his intake, eating only a small portion to maintain his body's energy.
He was very hungry now, extremely hungry. He felt as if his stomach was a bottomless pit, as if no amount of food could fill this almost hollow sense of hunger.
However, after these few days of dieting, his weight had dropped significantly.
He was now almost emaciated, his wrists so thin they looked like bones, and his ten fingers as slender as firewood.
Yet, Ou Minghan's heart was filled with hope.
He had a chance to escape!
Ou Minghan raised his arm and pulled hard!
The chain was tightly lodged in the area of his tiger's mouth, but Ou Minghan gritted his teeth and pulled again!
"Ugh—!" He bit into the foul-smelling bedding, afraid that the pain would make him cry out and alert Ou Tiantian!
"Crack—" The sound of a dislocated wrist echoed. The pain in his palm brought tears to his eyes, but he endured it and did not cry out.
His palm was already bleeding profusely from being scraped by the chain, but he was free.
Looking at his freed hands, Ou Minghan almost burst into tears.
He would escape, he definitely would!
The chain on his leg was fastened very tightly and could not be removed. Fortunately, this chain was not locked to the bathroom, so he could escape with it.
Ou Minghan quickly tore open the bedding, ripping it into strips, and fumbled to wrap them around the chain. This would help reduce the noise the chain made.
Then, he hurried to the outside of the bathroom, rummaging through cabinets and drawers.
Soon, he found the oak stick that Ou Tiantian had made him allergic to before.
He wrapped the oak stick with a piece of cloth, preparing it as a weapon for self-defense.
After doing all this, he picked up the oak stick and smashed the camera overhead!
Then, he turned off the lights, raised the wooden stick, and forcefully hit the main door!
"Wuwuwu—" A piercing alarm sound rang out. Ou Minghan immediately stood by the door, his eyes filled with hatred, his hands raised high holding the wooden stick!
He was waiting.
He couldn't open the five-story door here. So he was waiting for Ou Tiantian to check the situation after hearing the alarm.
As soon as Ou Tiantian walked in, he would knock her unconscious with one blow!
After that, he would definitely retaliate fiercely against Ou Tiantian; he would make her wish she were dead!
However, no matter how loud the alarm was, there was no movement of the door opening.
Ou Minghan's heart began to panic, and his hands started to tremble slightly from hunger.
"Alas..."
Suddenly, a familiar sigh echoed in the room. Ou Minghan was so startled he almost jumped up!
However, he quickly calmed down. This was the intercom in the room, not Ou Tiantian herself. He had already smashed the camera, so Ou Tiantian couldn't see his actions. He didn't need to be afraid!
"Brother, you're being naughty~"
The familiar voice, as sweet and melodious as ever, sounded like a devil's whisper in Ou Minghan's ears.
