The girl turned on the TV, which was broadcasting recent economic news. The man's eyes softened as he approached the bed. Seeing that the girl didn't object or refuse, he took the opportunity to slip under the covers.
The bed was spacious, with both of them under the same blanket but maintaining some distance between them. The man was afraid of imposing his illness on her, so he simply stared at her, not daring to get any closer.
"Famous entrepreneur Nan Tuo and his daughter Nan Zhu have come to West City, where the South Family Orphanage welcomed them warmly. The South Family Orphanage was established twenty years ago by Nan Tuo's elder brother, Nan Zhixian, and has since expanded across the country, helping countless orphans. Now, following in his brother's footsteps, Nan Tuo continues to promote kindness and generosity..."
The man noticed that South Phoenix's fists clenched and then slowly relaxed while listening to the news.
Just as he was about to sit up, South Phoenix turned to him and asked, "Why are you awake? Hungry?"
The man was taken aback. She had been in a bad mood just a moment ago, but now she seemed so gentle and accommodating.
His Little Miss was truly...
"Not hungry..." His voice was hoarse, and his throat felt dry and painful.
He settled back into the blankets and looked at her. "Don't... be upset."
South Phoenix asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
The man nodded.
Then he smiled at her, his voice husky but filled with vitality. "With my girlfriend taking care of me, I woke up without a fever."
Thinking back to what had happened last night, Fifth Young Master Rong had some regrets. He should have let himself get even colder, just to have South Phoenix take care of him for a few more days.
South Phoenix nodded in response.
For someone with a strong addiction to cigarettes, it should have a significant impact on him. However, Rong Feng seemed to have it under control. South Phoenix couldn't help but recall the few times he had smoked in front of her, which were few and far between.
Sitting at the dining table, they had breakfast together. Rong Feng had prepared the meal, and it turned out surprisingly well.
After eating, South Phoenix's curiosity got the better of her. She picked up her phone and checked it, only to find that there was nothing unusual. She didn't mind him using her phone and didn't expect anything untoward.
However, not long after, she noticed that Rong Feng had a serious expression on his face as he fiddled with her phone. Intrigued, she moved closer to see what he was doing.
To her surprise, he was playing a game of Go on her phone.
And the opponent was none other than Mo Sha Tian.
Mo Sha Tian... the name sent shivers down her spine. It turned out that it was the real Mo Sha Tian, the famous Go master.
Why would he challenge her to a game of Go? Was it a coincidence, or was it intentional?
Rong Feng's expression grew colder as he continued playing. His instincts, honed from years of business dealings, were rarely wrong. His intuition told him that something was amiss.
"Be careful; he's very skilled," South Phoenix cautioned.
Rong Feng raised an eyebrow, his expression oozing with his trademark arrogance. "Him? Am I not skilled enough?"
