It’s not that kind of era to go hungry.
He remembers how light she is when he carried her. His frown turns even deeper.
“Do you usually not eat very well?”
Ye Qing Xin is startled and smiles. “I’m quite good.”
Jing Bo Yuan examines at her face and doesn’t continue to talk about that. He asks: “Are you okay now?”
Ye Qing Xin shakes her head.
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything, he helps her to lay down again. He covered her again with the blanket. His action is so natural.
“Sleep again. I’ll wake you up for dinner.” Then he switches off the light and just let the bedside lamp to be on.
He then leaves the room.
Ye Qing Xin’s heart beats erratically.
The rooms turns quiet, her pain gradually subsidizes.
Inside the blanket, she could smell Jing Bo Yuan’s scent. Her heart beats even more strangely.
She doesn’t know what makes Jing Bo Yuan cares so much about her. But she could feel his good intention. His every action is to show care for her. It gradually invites her to depend on him.
She couldn’t help but to admit that she wants to depend on him.
Especially the time he carried her back, his words toward Mrs Yu, it’s clearly to protect her. That time suddenly she had a thought to stay forever in his embrace.
That kind of feeling is like a poison that try in vain to control her heart.
Ye Qing Xin pokes her head and forces herself to stop dreaming.
What is her status? What is Jing Bo Yuan’s status?
Perhaps it’s only his temporarily interest.
After a while of wild thinking, Jing Bo Yuan knocks the door: “Xin Xin, wake up. Let’s eat.” He doesn’t come inside the room.
Don’t know from when, his form address toward her has changed to be so intimate.
Ye Qing Xin replies and wakes up.
She wears her coat and comes down.
Jing Bo Yuan is sitting down on the sofa and reading his book. Looking at her coming, he closes his book and walks toward the dininr room.
Ye Qing Xin glances at his book. The cover is covered with densely packed characters. She can recognize it one by one, but the time she combines all the world, a top-student like her, couldn’t understand it.
It’s not English.
She looks at Jing Bo Yuan with admiration.
After the dinner, it’s already eight o’clock in the evening. Ye Qing Xin tries to excuse herself.
“Let me send you home.” Jing Bo Yuan takes his car key and follows her out.
The time the car passes the gate, Ye Qing Xin’s phone is ringing.
She answers.
On the other side, there’s a crying Hong Si Yu.
“Sis Ye, why are you not coming?”
“Aren’t you going to your grandma’s house?” Mrs Hong called her this morning to inform her.
Hong Si Yu is sobbing: “Sis Ye, come here quickly, please. I’m afraid…… Papa Mama are fighting. Papa said that he wants a divorce. Sis Ye, what should I do? I don’t want to be a broken home kid. Also there’s a strange uncle in our house. I’m afraid….”
“Sis Ye, you study well, you understand a lot of things. Can you persuade my Papa, to not divorce my Mama?”
The thirteen years old kid is crying so hardly.
Ye Qing Xin always treats Hong Si Yu like Ye Qing Guo.
“Xiao Yu, don’t be afraid. Now sis will come to accompany you.”
She hangs up and asks Jing Bo Yuan: “Can we go to the 102 first? Xiao Yu has some troubles. I just want to look for a while.”
Jing Bo Yuan frowns and doesn’t say anything.
The car stops in front of Mrs Hong’s house. In time, the door is opened, a car comes out. The car speeds so fast and disappears so quickly.
Ye Qing Xin gets off the car.
The maid is getting ready to close the door. Looking at her, she opens the door.
“Today you come a bit late. Little Mister is upstair.”
Ye Qing Xin thanks her and comes inside to find Hong Si Yu.
When she just enters the door.
“Who should I look for? If not because of you, how can I offend Jing Bo Yuan? With just half day, you successfully make my newly-registered company to collapse? Let me tell you, you should give me one million every month as daily living fee. You should agree to it. If not I’ll stay here and not go. If you are not afraid of what I’ll do to your kid, then you can let me stay here!”
That voice is too scoundrelly.
It’s too familiar.
Ye Qing Xin stands there blankly.
“Yi Bing Ping, dammit aren’t you too immoral?” Mrs Hong is worried. She loses her habit of speaking nobly.
“Let me tell you. If you have no money, if you are staying here and not going anywhere. I’ll call the police to report about your action of taking drugs, then your free days will be gone!”
“Report to the police?” Yi Bing Ping laughs craftily, “Now I don’t have anything too lose, I don’t have money to buy drugs, how I can live freely? A? You are a bitch, if not because of you, I also will not at this step. I cannot live well and you should also not dreaming of living well!”
“It’s your own fault that you are at this step. You deserve it! Who asks you to be so stupid, you are tricked by your lover? There’s five hundred thousand in this card. It’s up to you whether you want it or not. If you want it, just take it and leave!”
“Why don’t you tell me earlier? I’ll take the remaining five hundred thousand after few days.”
“Go away!”
Yi Bing Ping then goes to the door and wants to leave. He notices Ye Qing Xin. He is surprised and frightened. Then after a while, he just smiles and looks back at the woman in the living room, and says purposely in loud voice: “Ms Ye, goodnight. I’m very sorry for what happened last night. But I was ordered by someone. Please Ms Ye don’t blame me for it!”
He says it and leaves.
