The Crippled Boss Loves Me

598 The Shower Is Broken

“What can I say to Qiao Xi? She was the one who said she was going to help out in the kitchen.” In front of his own family, Ji Mo could not be bothered to put on an act. His face revealed a frightening profoundness. “Fourth Sis, did you realize that Qiao Xi is trying to imitate our sister-in-law? When Sister-in-law reads, she reads too. When Sister-in-law wears a dress, she also finds a dress of the same style. When Sister-in-law ties up her hair, she also ties up her hair.”

Apart from that, Qiao Xi even imitated some of her daily actions and even the tiniest details. For example, when Shen Hanxing was eating, she would have the habit of pinching the middle part of the chopsticks. When she ate something she liked, her pinky would move very slightly a few times. This was a small habit that belonged only to Shen Hanxing. Ji Mo noticed that Qiao Xi had developed this habit when she ate recently. However, Qiao Xi did not know Shen Hanxing well and did not understand why she was doing this. She only saw Shen Hanxing move her fingers when she ate the green pepper and potato, so she moved her fingers when she ate the dish. In fact, she even copied Shen Hanxing’s hand movements when she picked the dish.

“Aiyo, what’s the big deal?” Ji Qian had a big heart and couldn’t help but laugh. She said, “Perhaps Qiao Xi idolizes Sister-in-law too much, so she subconsciously imitated her.” She felt that it was normal because even she wanted to be like her sister-in-law. Qiao Xi had suffered so much in the past, but it was Sister-in-law who had saved her from the sea of suffering and given her a new way of life, starting a new life. Putting herself in Shen Hanxing’s shoes, Ji Qian guessed that in Qiao Xi’s heart, Shen Hanxing was probably her savior. That was why Qiao Xi couldn’t help but worship and rely on Shen Hanxing and imitate her actions, hoping that she could become a person like her.

“She’s just not used to it yet. She’ll be fine in the future.” Ji Qian waved her hand nonchalantly and smiled at Ji Mo. She said, “You’re always thinking too much. Don’t say these things to Qiao Xi. She might cry.” Everyone had a tacit understanding of Qiao Xi’s intentions, so they just treated it as taking care of Qiao Xi’s pride.

Ji Mo furrowed his brows when he saw Ji Qian’s nonchalant expression. Could it be that he was really overthinking things?

“Ji Qian, Ji Mo, what are you two talking about?” Ji Ning ran over, her face flushed red. She pursed her lips and smiled, “Big Brother and Sister-in-law are almost done. They’re just waiting to sprinkle the water.”

“Coming, coming.” Ji Qian instantly broke into a smile, grabbed the watering can, and ran over to claim the credit. “Sister-in-law, here’s the water! I’ll help you water the plants!”

“Ji Qian!” Seeing that the watering can have been snatched away, Ji Mo could not care about anything else. He gritted his teeth and said, “Give me back the watering can!”

“I don’t want to.” Seeing that Ji Mo was flustered and exasperated, Ji Qian was elated. She turned her head and made a face, “It’s in my hands so it’s mine! Come and take it if you have the ability to do so!”

How could Ji Mo tolerate such a provocation? He immediately rushed over and fought with Ji Qian over the watering can. The battle between the two of them was so intense that the usually shy Ji Ning couldn’t be bothered to maintain her composure. She couldn’t help but say anxiously, “Be careful! Don’t step on the planted vegetables, you two!” Because she was in a hurry, Ji Ning’s soft voice had become a bit louder. After they had enough fun and planted the vegetables, everyone went back to their rooms to take a shower.

It had been a long time since she last did these things, and Shen Hanxing was starting to feel a little sore. She could not help but shake her head and smile bitterly. Perhaps it was because she had been living a good life for a long time that her body had also become more delicate. She untied her long hair and took a hot shower to her heart’s content. Unexpectedly, just as her hair was covered in foam, the shower suddenly stopped. Shen Hanxing was stunned. Was the shower broken? She wiped the foam from her eyes and tested the water from the tap. Then, she confirmed that the shower was broken! The foam on her head dripped down bit by bit until she was covered in it. Shen Hanxing had no choice but to wrap herself in a bath towel and she went next door to knock on the door.

Ji Yan had obviously just taken a shower. A bath towel was wrapped around his waist, revealing his strong and firm upper body. His whole body was filled with strong male hormones. His usually neat hair was wet and stuck to his scalp. Crystal beads of water slid down his deep outline. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his facial features were sparse.

‘Really going to be the death of me.’ Shen Hanxing sighed inwardly but kept a smile on her face. She looked at Ji Yan without avoiding his gaze. She said, “Mr. Ji, the shower in my room is broken. I need to borrow your bathroom.” She looked at Ji Yan with pure admiration. Even so, Ji Yan felt that the blood in his body was not blood, but boiling gasoline.
