Ye Jun dropped Azalea at Ye Jie's place in the evening and went back home himself.
"Hi, bro!" Azalea addressed Ye Jie with a wide grin on her face.
"Hello, Zelie! How was your day?" Ye Jie inquired taking a seat at the couch with Azalea.
"I had plenty of fun." Azalea beamed.
"That's good," Ye Jie said and ruffled her hair a bit, affectionately.
Ye Jie noticed that all of sudden, Azalea's smile turned sad. "Is everything okay?" He questioned with a bit of worry.
"Bro, do you think that I'm an annoying person who interferes in everyone's business even when it's not my place to poke my nose in?" Ye Jie was taken aback by her question as his brows creased.
"Who said that?"
"Nobody said it but I feel like it myself. I can't help wanting to make everything okay even when I know that I can't make everything okay." Azalea explained to Ye Jie.
"Okay... Then first tell me why do you want to make solve everything?" Ye Jie asked patiently.
Azalea bit her lips and started, "Do you remember how I wanted to talk to you before my accident?" Ye Jie felt guilty when she mentioned that as she went on, "At that time, I wanted to talk to you but just because of my stubbornness to talk elsewhere, we missed that chance." She took a pause and added, "Now, when I see someone who can solve their problems with just talking to each other, I can't help myself. Bro, am I really getting too sensitive for no reason?"
She only told half of her reason and left the other buried in her heart, 'How can I tell you, bro, that because I stayed quiet back then even I lost him? I don't want Wang-Ge to be alone especially when I know that Zhou Qi must have a reason of her own for breaking his heart.'
Ye Jie smiled at his little sister who was talking so big. "Zelie, do you remember the person who took care of you in the hospital?" Azalea instantly nodded. How could she forget that person? "That person has a habit like yours. She likes to interfere too much in people's life."
"Bro, she?" Ye Jie bit his tongue. It was slip of tongue that he actually mentioned Ru as a female before anyone else knowing well enough that Ru would kill him if he told anyone about her real gender.
He cleared his throat and said, "I mean he. It was a slip of tongue for a moment." Azalea didn't think much about it. "So, I was saying that he likes to interfere a lot and when I asked him why? He gave me a simple reply, 'If my intervention can save their lives then why not?' I laughed at him and asked, 'What about people who get annoyed by you poking your nose where it doesn't belong?' That's when he replied, 'Who cares? I don't! There will eventually be a day when they'll thank me for poking my nose where it didn't belong.'"
He looked at Azalea and asked, "Did you get what I mean?" Azalea looked at his eyes that were the pure reflection of her father. "If your heart says that you need to interfere, don't think twice and just do it. Because the heart can never be wrong. Also, make sure that your intervention is not hurting someone."
Azalea's tears fell down her cheeks making Ye Jie anxious. "Zelie, what's wrong?"
She sobbed a bit and said, "I suddenly want to hug dad."
"I can take you there if you want," Ye Jie offered, looking at her acting like a kid.
She shook her head and said, "I can't go like this. Dad will instantly know that something's wrong with me." Ye Jie shook his head and hugged her closer to his chest. Oddly, it calmed her down and it took a few minutes before her sobs turned into steady breathing. Ye Jie was surprised and when he looked at her, she was really sleeping peacefully.
Xu Mey walked inside the living room and saw Azalea fast asleep in Ye Jie's arms. "She must be really tired?"
Ye Jie tilted his face towards Xu Mey saying, "Her body is still weak and she needs a lot of rest but who can make her stay on the bed? She doesn't listen at all."
Xu Mey smiled at the way Ye Jie's reprimanding words were said in a doting tone. "Take her to the bedroom," Xu Mey suggested and Ye Jie held her body and took Azalea to her bedroom.
Early in the next morning, Xu Mey came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and Ye Jie followed behind her. "What are you doing here, Ah-Jie?"
"I'm here to help my baby," he replied matter-of-factly.
"Do you know how to cook?" Xu Mey gave him a questioning look.
"I learned a bit of cooking during my summer camps." Ye Jie sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
"And how many years, it has been?"
"More than a decade." He replied with a cheesy grin.
"Thought so. Now, go back and let me work," Xu Mey pushed Ye Jie's shoulders a bit but he held her wrists in his hands.
"Baby, so what if my skills are a bit rusty. I still made that delicious spicy ramen for you on our wedding night." Xu Mey instantly blushed at the reminder of that night along with his words that made her choke back then. If she thought about it now, how easily he had asked, 'Did it hit the G-spot?'
Ye Jie obviously had no clue about the things running in her mind at the moment as he continued, "Also, I made such an awesome breakfast for you which was eaten by Ye Jun in the end but still, I'm the one who made it." He was still holding that grudge against Ye Jun.
"Do you want me to remind you about how you managed to make those ramens and that breakfast?" Ye Jie coughed at her reminder. Naturally, he had to take help from the maid but that didn't mean that he wasn't the one who made everything.
"Fine..." He grumbled in defeat. "But how about you teach me now. I'll help you as much as I can."
"But I can do it myself, Ah-Jie," she pointed out.
"But I don't want you to do it yourself. I know you can do everything on your own but don't make me feel like a useless husband." When he put his request this way, Xu Mey was left with nothing to say anymore.
