At the same time.
Ye Qing Xin returns to her dorm. She takes shower and lays down on the bed. She then looks at her phone.
There’re three missed calls and a message.
It’s from Tai Zheng Ting. It’s just five simple words. Every word is commonly seen. It’s simple but being given by that person makes Ye Qing Xin feels cold.
— Xin Xin, I miss you.”
Ye Qing Xin feels disgusted because of it.
How can this be?
At first Tai Zheng Ting was like hr father, how can he slowly change his action like this.”
It’s too terrifying.
Ringggg! Ringggg!
The phone keeps on ringing.
Ye Qing Xin’s fingers are trembling and really wants to throw the phone away. But she doesn’t, she takes the phone to the restroom and locks the door.
There’re three other people in the room.
“Xin Xin.” Tai Zheng Ting calls her. It’s his soft voice. When she was young, every time she heard his voice, she was very happy. But now she feels terrified of him.
“Is there any problem?” Her voice is cold.
Tai Zheng Ting laughs lowly and says, “If there’s no problem, then it means I cannot call you? Xin Xin?”
Ye Qing Xin is silent.
“Today I saw you at the hospital. Xin Xin, you are even more beautiful just like your Ma.”
“Jiu Jiu (Uncle)!” Ye Qing Xin raises her voice.
She keeps on calling her Jiu Jiu because she notices his dirty motive. She doesn’t change it because she thinks if she calls him Chief Tai, he will be even more unrestrained.
At least it can be reminder about his status. With his status, he shouldn’t act carelessly.
Tai Zheng Ting says: “Jiu Jiu? Xin Xin, since the beginning, I’ve never thought that I’ll be your jiu jiu.”
Ye Qing Xin feels cold.
“Xin Xin, let’s meet tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you.”
“No!” Ye Qing Xin refuses: “if you have something to say, then say it now. No need to meet.”
Tai Zheng Ting is silent. Then suddenly he laughs, he says: “You don’t want to meet me? Okay, it’s okay. Maybe the time you are clear, you will find me by yourselves.”
“Sleep early, I’ll miss you.”
He says it and hangs up.
Ye Qing Xin raises her phone and feels so cold.
His words, what is it mean?
She will not!
Suddenly she is not at ease.
Will Tai Zheng Ting do anything to her mother and little brother?
It’s already ten thirty at the evening, her mother should be asleep right?
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t call her.
The next morning Ye Qing Xin wakes up with black eyes. Then she just calls her mother.
“Hello? Xin Xin.”
“Ma, are you good? Is Xiao Guo okay?”
“Good, everything is well!” Zhou Qiao Qiao says: “Yesterday I sent back some money home, buy him new clothes and cook him delicious food….”
“Xin Xin, when you are back, mama also will buy new clothes and cook for you.”
“Em.” Ye Qing Xin smiles.
She tells before she hangs up: “Ma, your leg is inconvenient now, you should be more careful. Also Xiao Guo, tell him to listen to the teacher. Don’t run around and fight with anyone.”
“Em, don’t worry. I always tell him about that.”
She hangs up. Ye Qing Xin opens her contact list and changed Tai Zheng Ting’s contact name from “Jiu Jiu” to “Tai Zheng Ting.”
She also erases his message last night.
After the morning class, Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir go together to the dining hall.
She orders a cold vegetable salad, a small plate of Kung Pao chicken, and pork ribs soups.
She also orders a simmer-fried fish for Dou Weir.
After having the unlimited card, Ye Qing Xin can eat more.
Dou Weir also experiences the benefit of it.
Dou Weir looks at Ye Qing Xin’s food and shakes her head. Xin Xin, can yo order more? You don’t need to spend any money with it? Why you look like you are saving money!”
Ye Qing Xin drinks her soup: “I get it without doing anything. I need to be proper. Moreover I already order the food that I am unwilling to order if I use my own money. This is enough for me.”
Dou Weir: “….. you are thinking too much about this. They give it to you so it’s yours. What is improper about it?”
She just uses to save money.
She is afraid that after leaving university, she will have a hard time.
After the lunch, she doesn’t go back to her dorm. She asks Dou Weir to bring her book back to the dorm. She directly goes out to take a bus to Nan Shan mansion.
After an hour, she arrives there.
Auntie Zhang opens the door for her and says: “Ms Ye, you are too early today. Mr Jing is still t home.”
Ye Qing Xin lowers her head and nods.
She enters and notices a pair of man black handmade leather shoes.
Ye Qing Xin looks at it for a while then changes her shoes to the servant’s slippers.
Auntie Zhang divides the duty with her: “Today you can just take care to clean and sweep the living room. As for the other places, I already cleaned it two days ago.”
The living room is spacious, there’re a lot of magazines there. It’s not really an easy task too.
She starts to work.
During her work, she doesn’t see Jing Bo Yuan.
After a while, Ye Qing Xin asks Auntie Zhang without thinking anything: “Chief Jing is still at home? Why don’t I see him?”
Auntie Zhang replies: “Mr Jing is at the study room. Probably he is having a video conference. I just sent a cup coffee inside and noticed he is fixing his gaze on the computer screen.”
Ye Qing Xin: “O.”
In the whole afternoon, Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t show up in front of her.
Until the dinner time, he just comes downstair.
The time he appears, Ye Qing Xin feels that the atmosphere inside the mansion changes. It makes her feels awkward.
Auntie Zhang places the dishes on the table and arranges two bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Ye Qing Xin: “Ay! Auntie Zhang….” Aren’t you having lunch too?
Auntie Zhang smiles: “I’ll go back to my room to eat. You accompany Mr Jing to enjoy the food.”
Ye Qing Xin: “…….” What kind of rule is this?
Jing Bo Yuan eats slowly.
Ye Qing Xin almost finishes her food and he just eats half of his rice.
When Ye Qing Xin is done, he is still eating.
Ye Qing Xin peeks at the clock, it’s already seven o’clock. She should go to the hospital to visit Chen Shu An. She is a bit rushed.
But Jing Bo Yuan hasn’t finished his food and she feels hard to excuse herself.
First, it’s impolite, second, ……………she doesn’t dare.
The time he is done, it’s seven thirty.
Ye Qing Xin is simply speechless. He unexpectedly needs thirty minutes to finish half of bowl of his rice.
She stands up hurriedly and goes to wash her dishes. She says: “I’ll go first. Goodbye, Chief Jing.”
She is so fast.
Jing Bo Yuan clutches her wrist and pulls her back.
Ye Qing Xin is caught off guard and bumps into his embrace.
The dominant male scent surrounds her.
Her heart is beating so quick.
It’s an uncontroable thing.
Jing Bo Yuan is calm like nothing happens: “Why are you be so rushing? Are you having an urgent matter? I’ll send you.”
He says it then passes her.
He smiles when he passes her.
He even doesn’t realize it.
