CHAPTER 106: 106:

"Did you hear me?" Seeing no response from inside, Ms. Qin raised her voice and asked again.

Cen Jin turned her head to look at the shadow outside the door and responded softly, "Got it, you should go rest quickly! Don’t forget to apply the plaster, just stay at home and rest for the next few days, there’s someone looking after the store."

"Alright, then hurry up, the ginger water will lose its effect if it gets cold."

"Okay."

After watching the shadow outside the door disappear, Cen Jin continued to blow her hair with the hairdryer until it was about eighty or ninety percent dry. She then put away the hairdryer, used a comb to tidy her hair slightly, left the bathroom, went downstairs to the kitchen cupboard to find an appropriate bowl, and scooped a bowl of brown sugar ginger water.

As she was about to go out, she realized the rain had stopped, so she placed the umbrella she was holding back in the distance, and carefully walked towards the neighboring villa with the bowl of brown sugar ginger water.

Since the bowl of brown sugar ginger water had just been cooked, it was very hot to the touch, but she didn’t dare to walk fast; walking fast could cause the water to spill and scald her hand, so she walked very cautiously.

When she arrived at the door of the neighboring villa, Cen Jin freed one hand to press the doorbell. After waiting for more than two minutes, the door was finally opened, and Miss Yu Hui looked at her with surprise, then noticed the bowl in her hand, "Cen Jin, what’s going on?"

"Uh, my mom cooked some brown sugar ginger water and asked me to bring it over to Jiang Baizhou to drive away the cold." Cen Jin smiled awkwardly as she handed over the bowl.

"I just said there’s no ginger at home, and it’s so late, the supermarkets outside must be closed, but Xuesu was thoughtful enough to know Bai Zhou got caught in the rain..." Miss Yu Hui said happily, but then felt something was off and asked suspiciously, "How did Xuesu know Bai Zhou got caught in the rain? He just came back completely soaked, I asked him what happened, but that quiet boy wouldn’t tell me."

Cen Jin was stunned for a moment and then decided to tell Miss Yu Hui about Ms. Qin’s back injury today.

"What? A back injury? How is she now? Is it serious? That brat didn’t say anything to me about it." As expected, Miss Yu Hui flared up upon hearing this.

Cen Jin hurriedly waved her hands and said, "It’s fine now, really, Aunt Hui Zi, don’t worry, they can still make brown sugar ginger water."

"Really, it’s okay?"

"Yes."

"Is Xuesu resting now? I’ll go and check on her."

"She should be resting now, the doctor said she needs to rest well these days."

"That’s true, she’s always worrying too much; there’s someone hired at the store, yet she goes there every day, really. Alright, I’ll visit her tomorrow."

"Alright, sure." Cen Jin smiled gently, "Then, about this brown sugar ginger water..."

"I’ll take it up to that brat, it’s Xuesu who’s been bothered instead."

"Then I’ll head back now, Aunt Hui Zi."

"Alright, rest early."

"Okay, goodnight." Cen Jin waved at Miss Yu Hui and turned around to return to her villa. Not meeting Jiang Baizhou allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief; she inexplicably feared being alone with Jiang Baizhou, even for a second, it felt suffocating to her.

On the other side, Miss Yu Hui carried the bowl of brown sugar ginger water that Cen Jin had brought upstairs to Jiang Baizhou’s room. Since she couldn’t free a hand, she kicked the door with her foot unceremoniously and shouted loudly, "Jiang Baizhou, open the door."
