In the next moment, he gently placed her on the bed.
Immediately, the man leaned down. Shen Xi stared at him, her mind a blank, completely forgetting to resist.
Just as she thought the man was about to do something indescribable to her, she saw his lips curve slightly, and he placed a light kiss on her forehead.
"Stop overthinking and get some rest. Goodnight!"
After speaking, he slowly stood up, pulled the thin blanket up to cover her, and turned to leave the room.
Shen Xi lay on the bed in a daze, listening to his steady footsteps recede, her gaze fixed on the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time…
In the hospital, someone else was also unable to sleep.
Jiang Jie lay on the accompanying bed, tossing and turning as she thought about what Si Yu had said to her tonight.
Shen Xi was Yin Xi's cousin. No wonder Qin Si Ye was so attentive to her.
No wonder the old lady always mistook her for Yin Xi.
Now that she thought about it, the woman's gaze and figure really resembled Yin Xi from five years ago.
Five years ago, anyone could see Qin Si Ye's affection and care for Yin Xi.
When she suddenly disappeared after a car accident, he searched for her everywhere as if he had lost his soul.
Even though Lu Yushan was pregnant by accident and engaged to him, his eyes were never on her.
Now that Yin Xi's cousin had appeared, he had transferred all his affections to this woman.
With this connection, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult to prevent Qin Si Ye from interacting with her.
It seemed she needed to think carefully and plan long-term.
At this moment, her phone, set to silent, suddenly vibrated.
She picked it up and looked at it, her heart trembling slightly. She couldn't help but glance at Qin Xiuzhi's hospital bed.
Seeing no movement from that side, she slowly got up and walked out of the room.
Only when she reached the safety stairs did she answer the call.
"Hello? Why are you calling me at this hour?"
"What? The police?"
"Alright, I understand. Don't take any action yet. Await my instructions."
The next day, Shen Xi woke up at 7 o'clock. Today, she was taking Shuo Shuo to a Rubik's Cube competition in K City.
She had seen this event organized by the relevant departments in K City online a while ago and had signed Shuo Shuo up.
Shuo Shuo was obsessed with Rubik's Cubes. From the age of two, he had been fascinated by them the first time he saw one.
Although she hadn't hired a tutor specifically for him in the past few years, she had bought him many related books to read.
His current Rubik's Cube skills were comparable to adults, and even Jian Fan and Xie Yifei were his "defeated opponents."
She wanted to use this competition to see how good the child really was and if he truly had talent in this area.
If so, she would find a teacher to nurture him properly.
Shen Xi had originally planned to bring Chen Chen, Yan Yan, and Yin Zhe along to "cheer him on."
However, after the incident at the movies the day before, she thought about it in the morning and decided to take Shuo Shuo to the competition alone.
After all, triplets were rare, and they were all so handsome and adorable, attracting too much attention.
She didn't want to cause any more trouble and preferred to keep a low profile.
After breakfast, she found an excuse to explain the situation to everyone and left home alone with Shuo Shuo.
Although Chen Chen and Yan Yan were a little disappointed, they understood their mother's concerns.
After all, she hadn't avenged her grievances yet and was still wearing a mask. It was wise to be cautious when going out.
When Shen Xi arrived at the competition hall with Shuo Shuo, it was already crowded and bustling with people.
"Mommy, why are there so many people? How many young contestants are there today?" Shuo Shuo frowned, tilting his little head to ask.
Shen Xi looked around and then down at him, "I don't know about that. It looks like there are over a hundred people."
Besides the children, there were also family members accompanying them to the competition. Shen Xi estimated there were about three to four hundred people.
"Oh." Shuo Shuo replied with a calm "Oh" and led Shen Xi to the registration desk to sign in.
Just as they finished signing in and collecting their number, they heard someone behind them call out, "Doctor Shen, it really is you."
Shen Xi's body stiffened slightly. She turned around and saw Su Yixin walking towards her with a smile.
Seeing her, Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat.
It was really strange.
How could she run into this woman every time she took her children out?
At this moment, she was very glad about her last-minute decision this morning.
Otherwise, the faces of all three children would have been exposed to her at close range.
"Miss Su." Shen Xi's heart was in turmoil, but she outwardly greeted her calmly.
