It was almost half past ten. Su Shi Jiu stepped out of the apartment building's gate and noticed that the sun outside was starting to scorch.

Raising her eyes slightly, she felt a heavy sense of oppression. The sky was so white that it resembled a blank sheet of paper, with not a single cloud in sight. It truly was a clear and cloudless day.

Jiang Qihao had just walked out of the main hall of the exhibition hall when he saw Su Shijiu standing at the entrance, looking like he was waiting for him.

"Dr. Jiang!"

Su Shijiu jumped up when he saw Jiang Qihao from afar. He waved towards him, causing Jiang Qihao's heart to soften instantly.

Seeing Su Shi suddenly appear, Jiang Qihao couldn't help but lower his voice and ask, "Why are you here? I'm afraid if I speak too loudly, I'll scare the child."

He reached out and rubbed Su Shi's head, feeling the soft and smooth touch of each strand of hair in the palm of his hand.

"I'm here to invite Dr. Jiang to have a meal together!" Su Shi held a coupon in his hand, wavering it.

This is something he just went to the school gate to get. Just now, he thought of a great drama in his mind, and he had to find something that could make him appear more destitute to complement it.

"What is this...?"

Jiang Qihao finally saw the voucher in Su Shijiu's hand. The words on it read, "Spend 100, get 30 off, and enjoy a 20% discount on all items for the grand opening of the new store."

When lowering her head to look at Su Shijiu, there was a hint of pity that inadvertently emerged.

Su Shi's dressing style has always been simple and elegant, with basically no brand logos. Jiang Qihao just thought that Su Shi, who looked like a young master, was not that wealthy. And then he remembered the last time Su Shi separated from his family, and they only arrived after a few days. Instantly, he imagined the image of a poor student leaving home to study and living a frugal life.

Su Shijiu saw the obvious change in Jiang Qihao's eyes and blinked his big eyes, knowing that his coupon had worked.

"Outside of the school, a new restaurant specializing in boiled fish has just opened, and I want to go there with Dr. Jiang," Su Shijiu said with his eyes slightly curved, his gaze rising in accordance with the curve of his smile, and a barely discernible dimple at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, good."

Just seeing Su Shi Jiu like this, Jiang Qi Hao couldn't bring himself to firmly refuse any of his requests. He even started to think that if Su Shi Jiu were to ask him to marry him now, he might even agree.

"Okay."

Hearing Jiang Qihao's agreement, Su Shi smiled even more brightly, shining a few degrees brighter than the sun overhead.

Jiang Qihao's care for others is exceptionally considerate. He even remembered the state of Su Shi's body after just recovering from alcohol intoxication, and made sure to cook a pot of food with a Yin and Yang hotpot bottom.

He carefully removed the thorns from the fish, added his homemade seasoning, and placed it in Su Shijiu's bowl.

"Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner today?"

Su Shi looked incredibly obedient while eating. He lowered his head and carefully placed the pieces of fish from the plate into his mouth, then chewed slowly and swallowed. He didn't say a word, only occasionally sticking out his tongue and inhaling softly when the spiciness got to him.

Su Shijiu just swallowed a piece of fresh and tender fish meat when he heard Jiang Qihao's deep voice and looked up to see him smiling at him.

"Just wanted to express my gratitude to Dr. Jiang who helped me at the hospital a few days ago."

Jiang Qihao laughed when he heard this and said, "This is just a doctor's duty, no need to thank me."

When he said, "And also..." Su Shijiu hesitated and seemed to struggle to find the right words, as if it were difficult to speak.

Jiang Qihao noticed the child's embarrassment and added a piece of fish into his plate. He said, "It's okay, if there's anything you need, just tell me and I'll help if I can."
