Hao Yan Che didn’t want Yuan Gun Gun to think about anyone except him when they were together. He picked up a bowl of soup to feed Yuan Gun Gun.

‘Open your mouth,’ Hao Yan Che said.

‘Too hot,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

Hao Yan Che blew on the spoon then he fed Yuan Gun Gun.

A while later, Yuan Gun Gun rubbed her satisfied stomach. Hao Yan Che put down another half empty plate, and picked up another plate of food to feed her.

‘Young master, I’m full,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

Hao Yan Che rubbed Yuan Gun Gun’s stomach.

‘Why didn’t you say it sooner?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

‘Didn’t you say you wanted me to test the food for poison?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked. ‘I did my best to taste most of the dishes.’

Hao Yan Che didn’t want to respond to Yuan Gun Gun’s way of thinking.

‘Do you want me to feed you?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

Hao Yan Che gave the spoon to Yuan Gun Gun. Then he silently watched his dummy rice ball focus her attention on remembering what dishes she tasted to feed him.

Later in the study room, Yuan Gun Gun fell asleep on Hao Yan Che’s lap while he worked. He poked her loveable face, and realised how she trained her body to turn into a rice ball.

At midday Yuan Gun Gun woke up from her nap.

‘Young master…’ Yuan Gun Gun called.

‘You know how to live a good life,’ Hao Yan Che said and kept his eyes on the laptop.

‘I’m sorry,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

‘Go find aunty Chen to teach you how to tidy a room properly,’ Hao Yan Che said and patted Yuan Gun Gun’s bottom.

‘Yes,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

In Yuan Gun Gun’s drowsy state she walked toward the bathroom instead of the door.

‘Come back,’ Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun walked back to Hao Yan Che, and he pinched her adorable bottom.

‘Ow…’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

‘The door is that way,’ Hao Yan Che said and smiled.

At eleven at night, Yuan Gun Gun followed Hao Yan Che from the exercise room to the master bedroom. She felt awkward sharing the master bedroom with Hao Yan Che for the first time.

‘I want to take a bath,’ Hao Yan Che said.

‘Yes,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

‘I said I want to take a bath,’ Hao Yan Che said.

‘Go take a bath,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘I promise I won’t peep on you while you’re taking a bath.’

Hao Yan Che knocked Yuan Gun Gun’s head.

‘Go prepare the water in the bathtub,’ Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun rubbed her head, and ran to the bathroom. She knelt on the bathroom floor, turned on the tap and waited for the bathtub to fill. Then she tested the water, and was satisfied it was warm enough. She stood and turned around to call the scary beautiful monster to come inside.

‘Ah…’ Yuan Gun Gun screamed.

‘Be quiet,’ Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun turned around, and covered her eyes.

‘Why aren’t you wearing clothes?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

‘Do you take a bath with clothes on?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

Ten seconds later, Hao Yan Che got into the bathtub and his rice ball was still frozen in the same spot.

Yuan Gun Gun heard Hao Yan Che got into the bathtub, and snapped out of her shock. She ran toward the door.

‘Come back here,’ Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun walked back to the bathtub, and she looked everywhere except at Hao Yan Che.

‘Massage me,’ Hao Yan Che said.
