The big truck did not stop there. It started up again, trying to run over the badly deformed black Bentley.

In her dream, Xu Jiaojiao was burning with anxiety as she watched the scene unfold. She kept shouting, “Qi Shenbai! Qi Shenbai, wake up! Wake up!”

However, Qi Shenbai did not react. Blood covered his face, and even his white shirt was dyed red with blood. The large truck ruthlessly collided with the Bentley again, crashing into the unconscious Qi Shenbai!

“Qi Shenbai!” Xu Jiaojiao woke up from her dream with a start. She was gasping for breath, and her fair forehead was covered in a cold sweat that drenched her hair.

A few seconds later, Xu Jiaojiao came back to her senses and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was already six in the morning. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and gradually calmed down. It had been a long time since she had such a dream.

The last time she had such a dream was after Qi Yunduo fell into the water and lost consciousness. In her dream, she had saved Qi Yunduo in the hospital… So why did she suddenly have such a dream this time? Could it be that someone wanted to harm Qi Shenbai?

When Xu Jiaojiao changed her clothes and went downstairs, she was still thinking about the dream. Her mind was elsewhere, and her gaze would occasionally sweep across Qi Shenbai, who was sitting across the dining table.

Qi Shenbai was still wearing a white shirt and eating the breakfast the chef made as if nothing had happened yesterday. He did not feel awkward at all. On the other hand, Xu Jiaojiao wished she could bury her face in her bowl. She had specially come down a little later today because she wanted to avoid this awkwardness. Usually, Qi Shenbai would already be at the office at this time. Today, however, he even stayed and had breakfast with her!

Qi Shenbai noticed Xu Jiaojiao’s fidgeting and frowned as he reminded her, “Eat properly.”

Xu Jiaojiao came back to her senses. As she ate the crispy fried bread slices, she apologized softly, “I’m sorry…”

“Hm?” Qi Shenbai looked at her.

“I shouldn’t have talked about you behind your back with my best friend last night. We even made wild guesses about…” The more she spoke, the softer Xu Jiaojiao’s voice became. She wished she could crawl under the dining table.

Actually, Qi Shenbai was not angry about what happened last night. He was just a little surprised. He had no idea that young girls nowadays talked about such vulgar things in private… However, when he looked at Xu Jiaojiao, who cowered like a little hamster, he retracted his gaze and pretended to be serious. “So you think a simple apology is enough?”

“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao was stunned. She slowly raised her head. “What do you want, then?”

Qi Shenbai did not say anything as he looked at her quietly with his deep eyes. Xu Jiaojiao blinked and suggested, “Why don’t I cook tonight? My culinary skills are very good. I can make a ten-course meal if you really want.” Thinking about how Qi Shenbai had asked her to cook noodles last night, perhaps he really liked to eat her food?

Qi Shenbai thought for a while and agreed reluctantly.

When Xu Jiaojiao saw him nod, her nervousness dissipated a little. “Then what do you want to eat? I’ll prepare the ingredients in advance.”

Qi Shenbai said, “I want a ten-course meal.”

Xu Jiaojiao blinked. Was he trying to tire her out as his revenge?

When Qi Shenbai saw Xu Jiaojiao’s visible deflating, he could not help but smirk. Xu Jiaojiao tried her best to fight for her rights. “That’s way too much food for us to finish…” She was not making excuses to save energy. She just thought it was a virtue to be thrifty and not waste food!

Qi Shenbai did not say anything. Pei Yan came in from outside and greeted them respectfully, “Mr. Qi, Miss Xu, good morning.”

Xu Jiaojiao turned around and was instantly stunned when she saw Pei Yan’s gray suit. The scene from last night’s dream flashed across her mind, and her face slowly turned pale… In her dream last night, Pei Yan was wearing this suit with a floral tie.

Qi Shenbai took the suit from the butler and put it on. When he turned around and saw Xu Jiaojiao’s pale face, he thought that she was frightened by his words, so he said, “You can make whatever you want for dinner. I’m not good with sweet things.” What he meant was that as long as it was not sweet, he was fine with it.

Xu Jiaojiao came back to her senses and saw that Qi Shenbai was dressed just like in her dream. His eyelashes trembled even more. Was it happening so soon? Was the dream from yesterday about to come true today? Was Qi Shenbai going to…die today?

Qi Shenbai put on his clothes and saw that Xu Jiaojiao had her head lowered and was not speaking. There was a low pressure above her head, as if she was being bullied. He shook his head helplessly and said, “I’ll get the driver to send you to school in the future.” There were many bad people outside now, and Qingshui Villa was located in a remote area. He was worried about her taking the bus and squeezing into the subway alone.
