Chapter 25.1 – The money and riches guide (25) Part 1
The next morning, Ye Shen woke up in a comfortable bed.
He was too tired last night and ended up falling asleep before Chu Zheng came back.
When he looked down, he found out that all his wounds had been treated, and even his clothes had been changed …… Wait a minute, clothes?
His clothes! They were changed!
Ye Shen nervously pulled his collar and pants to look inside and his already pale face became somewhat paler.

The door was suddenly flung open as Chu Zheng silently came in with a glass of warm milk. Without superfluous words, she directly handed him the cup and ordered: “Drink up.”
“My clothes … who changed them?” Ye Shen asked with some difficulty.
“Me.” Chu Zheng was completely oblivious to his nervousness and answered matter-of-factly.
There was no one else here, who else could have changed him if not her?
Last night, she slept a few hours less than she would like to.
All this weak chicken’s fault!
“You …… ” Ye Shen was first shocked by the news but after a few seconds, his entire face blushed in a deep red: “You changed my clothes?”
Chu Zheng very righteous asked: “What’s the problem?”
Am I supposed to hire a care-taker for him in the middle of the night? What nonsense is this weak chicken thinking? His head must have also been beaten up!
Ye Shen’s ears instantly reddened and his heart was beating so fast he almost felt it would stop. He was so emotional he felt like cell of his body was trembling.
Ye Shen closed his eyes and asked her with even more difficulty: “You even changed my …… underwear for me.”
“There was blood on it.” Not changing it, do you want to keep it as a souvenir?
Ye Shen was even more ashamed and wished he could immediately find a hole to burry himself.
“You …… you …… ” How could she be like this! She must have seen his whole body, didn’t she? Ye Shen was so ashamed he gritted his teeth and spit out: “Men and women are different.” (TN: Chinese expression meaning they shouldn’t touch casually.)
“You were injured.”
Ye Shen was stunned.
She actually changed him herself because he was injured …… Ye Shen’s heart felt somewhat blocked for some reason.
The girl in question didn’t even complain about it, so what was he being difficult about right now?
Ye Shen understood this his heart, but his still couldn’t help ears warming up at the thought of being naked in front of her. He didn’t even dare look up and meet Chu Zheng’s eyes.
“Drink up.”
Chu Zheng once again handed him the milk she had been holding up for half a day.
Don’t you know how to be polite!
Don’t you know I’m tired of raising my hand for half a day?
Ye Shen bashfully stretched out his hand to take the cup. When his fingertips accidently touched Chu Zheng’s fingertips, he felt as he was scaled and quickly held the glass of milk before shrinking back into the bed.
When Chu Zheng left the room, Ye Shen’s tense body gradually relaxed and he couldn’t help staring at the door for a while.

Ye Shen spent several days recuperating from his injuries, and every day Chu Zheng would mercilessly lock his door before going to school. Somehow, Ye Shen had the impressions that he was imprisoned in her house.
He could eat and drink well every day, and there was a part-time worker who would come to clean up daily.
Naturally, the part-time worker would only come to clean when Chu Zheng was home.
And after coming back from school, Chu Zheng would always bring him her homework to write for her.
At some point, Ye Shen started to wonder whether she locked him up for the sole purpose of doing her homework.
Also, she hadn’t spoken a single word about that day, as if it had never happened.
Whenever he asked her about it, she perfunctorily replied that she would fix it.
But many days later, he still had no news about the aftermath of that incident.
Because he was worried of causing further trouble, Ye Shen tried to leave her house once he was able to. But the moment he brought it up, she would fiercely threaten him that she’d break his legs, and he thus quietly remained locked up.
“Have you recovered from your injuries?” One day, after coming back from school, Chu Zheng suddenly looked him over and asked him about his recovery.
The young man calmly nodded as he was doing her homework, “I’m almost completely recovered. Do you still plan on locking me up?”
The teenager slightly frowned at the thought of being under house arrest, but he had to admit that in his heart, he wasn’t really angry.
“Then come with me somewhere.” Chu Zheng instantly dragged him away.
“Where to …… the homework ……”
Before he could utter a response, Ye Shen was already stuffed into the backseat of her car with a familiar man in suit in the driver seat. Wasn’t that one of the bodyguards who came to his rescue before? The salesman from the ‘Invincible Bodyguards’ company?
“Where are we going?”
From the moment they had boarded it, the car was utterly silent as it drove in an unfamiliar direction until they reached a neighborhood he had never visited before.
