Chapter 228: Overestimating Oneself
Back at home, Si Chen was unpacking the parcels he had brought back from Wen Yun. Besides Tong Yao’s garments, there were also some dried fruits and snacks that Tong Yao liked. Si Chen separated the clothes from the food and reminded her which items could cause inflammation if eaten in excess.
Tong Yao, behaving like a child, kept imitating Deng Wenwen’s sweet tone, continually calling out, "Doctor Si... Doctor Si..."
After goofing around for a while, they cleaned up and headed to bed. Just as they lay down, Tong Yao suddenly called out in a soft voice, "Doctor Si."
No sooner had she finished speaking, Si Chen’s tall figure pinned her down as if to punish her. He tormented her until she was panting with repeated pleas for mercy.
Sometimes, Tong Yao felt that Si Chen at night was an entirely different person from his daytime self. During the day, he was solemn and indifferent to everything. But at night, he turned into a king of the wilderness, charging through his domain with every movement stirring desire inside her.

In the blink of an eye, they had already been in Kyoto for a week, and Tong Yao had hired workers to renovate a shop she planned to open at the beginning of the following month.
Having the money Wen Yun had given her, Tong Yao was not worried about funding. She knew that once she opened the shop, she would not be able to handle everything alone. Therefore, she wrote a job advertisement in advance and put it up at the door. The shop was located near the university, and since students had more leisure time, Tong Yao specifically stated that she wanted to hire three energetic students.
