nZhou Qiao Qiao coughs several time and just calms down. She then takes tissue to spit out her phlegm. She throws it to the bin.

nYe Qing Xin notices deep brown color on the tissue. She feels concern about her.

nZhou Qiao Qiao continues: “Xin Xin….”

nYe Qing Xin cuts her off: “Ma, don’t talk anymore okay, have a good rest okay? I’ll take you a gla.s.s of hot water.”

nThe time she wants to go, Zhou Qiao Qiao holds her wrist: “Xin Xin, I’m sorry. Ma is really wronged you. Xiao Guo was in trouble and I could only watch without able to do anything. I am too powerless. I can only depend on you. I have no way out. Xin Xin, don’t you think I am a fail mom?”

nHer tears start to fall down.

nYe Qing Xin helps to wipe her tears and says: “Ma, you love Xiao Guo, I also love him. I can understand your feeling. I don’t blame you. You have raised us up. We are one family. In this world, you guys are my only family. No need to care too much.”

nZhou Qiao Qiao says: “Xin Xin, Ma is too selfish. In the future, when I’m gone, Xiao Guo… please take care of Xiao Guo…..”

n“Ma, don’t talk that way. I’ll be very angry!”

n“Okay, okay, I’ll not talk about it anymore. Sleep, you should be tired too.”

nThis night, Ye Qing Xin tosses and turns restlessly until the early morning.

nThe next day she wakes up around eleven o’clc.o.k. The time she hasn’t opened her eyes. She hears Ye Qing Guo’s voice with low volume.

n“Sssttt! You guys walk lightly! My sis is sleeping, don’t wake her up!”

n“Sssstt! Can’t you go out when you are eating apple? My sister is sleeping, don’t disturb her!”

n“Ssstt! Can’t you take things in quietly manner! Don’t disturb my sister, she is sleeping!”

nYe Qing Xin cannot control her smile. This little guy is really likable.

nSo what if he is Tai Zheng Ting’s son, he will be still her Xiao Guo.

nShe opens her eyes and sits up. She notices something falls down when she moves. She looks it, it is Xiao Guo’s sport suit.

nWhen she wants to pick it up, Ye Qing Guo runs fast toward her and picks it up. He covers Ye Qing Xin’s body with it. “Sis, Mama said that today is cold. You need to wear more clothes. Don’t freeze yourselves.”

nYe Qing Xin laughs helplessly. She feels happy and strokes his head: “Our Xiao Guo has understood how to care about others?”

n“Em Em Em!” Ye Qing Guo nods: “Xiao Guo is great right?”

nYe Qing Xin smiles: “Very great.”

nYe Qing Guo’s eyes turn bright: “Is there any reward?”

nYe Qing Xin finally understands and asks him: “What Xiao Guo wants for reward?”

nYe Qing Guo finally turns coy. He pouts: “Few days ago, sister said that the time you pick me up, you will buy me a lot of milk chocolate……”

n“It’s okay to buy you. But you should promise that you can only eat two bar a day.”

nYe Qing Guo agrees: “Okay, okay, okay. Let’s buy it now!”

nZhou Qiao Qiao intervenes: “Xin Xin, don’t buy too much for him. He will have a toothache later on.”

n“Em, I get it. Ma.”

nYe Qing Xin goes to the bathroom to clean up herself and takes out her backpack that has one million.

nOne million that she retrieved from Auntie Wen’s card.

nAt first she wants to give it to Li family for them to give chance so she can treat her mother. Since it’s no use, she should return it back.

nYe Qing Xin let Ye Qing Guo carries it, she pats it and asks: “Is it heavy?”

nThat naive boy just carries it and doesn’t know what’s inside the bag.

nYe Qing Guo just laughs and shakes his head: “Not heavy.”

nAs long he will get chocolate, nothing will be too heavy.

nThey both leaves.

nThe nurse that helps Zhou Qiao Qiao to eat apple says to her: “Ay, you are really lucky! You have a good daughter!”

nZhou Qiao Qiao smiles.

nThat nurse says again: “You daughter is close to the mayor. It’s usually so hard to meet mayor, but last two night in the middle of night, the mayor came by to visit you. All the hospital directors also came over. The mayor instructed them to take a good care of you. Your family is raising high!”

nEven though she could hear her praise but Zhou Qiao Qiao feels it’s not pleasant to hear?

nIt seems she is saying that her daughter has unimaginable relationship with the mayor.

nHer face turns cold but she smiles: “What is raising high? The mayor’s son-in-law is my daughter’s friend. He should take pity on me so ask the mayor for help.”

nThe nurse is surprised: “Ay! So your daughter is friend with mayor’s son-in-law!”

n“If you don’t know it’s better to not say anything!”

n“Ay, I just say it why are you become so hostile! I’m not really saying something wrong…..”

nThe other nurse stops her by shaking her head.

nOn the other side.

nYe Qing Xin takes Ye Qing Guo to go out to the bank first by taxi to put the money back to the account. They go to the bank inside the big department store.

nYe Qing Guo wants to buy everything. At last Ye Qing Xin becomes strict and just let him buy chocolate and jelly. Ye Qing Xin also buys towel, shampoo, shower gel.

nThe time they are done, they come out from the department store with a large plastic bag.

nYe Qing Guo is filled with joy.

nWhenever he looks there is a little kid, he will avoid it.

nYe Qing Xin always teaches him to be gentle and generous. His incident with Li family’s son, should be a trauma for him.

nYe Qing Xin guides Ye Qing Guo and wants to take taxi back to hospital.

nThere’s only little taxis in this little area. So it’s quite hard to get one.

nAfter ten minutes, there’s an empty taxi. Ye Qing Xin stops the taxi and opens the car. When she wants to get in, her phone rings.

nIt’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.

nYe Qing Xin’s heart is beating so fast. Her face couldn’t help but to smile.

nShe answers it and at the same time let Ye Qing Guo gets inside the car.

n“Xin Xin, I’m at your back.”

nYe Qing Xin turns her head and notices a familiar white land rover.

nShe pulls Ye Qing Guo who is inside to come out. She apologizes to the driver: “I”m sorry, we still have something to do. We will not take this taxi.”

nThe driver is well-mannered and just waves his hand.

n“Sis, why are we not going with that taxi?” Ye Qing Guo pouts.

n“We have another car to get in.” Ye Qing Xin strokes her head: “Later on don’t say anything, okay?”

nYe Qing Guo doesn’t understand: “Why?”

nYe Qing Xin looks at the white land lover is approaching. She has no time to explain. So she just glares at Ye Qing Guo and pretends to be fierce: “Don’t ask for now! Why do you have a lot of why question? Be careful I’ll take your chocolate!”

nYe Qing Guo says: “O.”

nThe car stops. The car window lowers and she could Jing Bo Yuan’s face. He is wearing his usual formal outfit. He looks so handsome.

nThis man, starting from yesterday, has became her boyfriend.

nIt’s not only other man, he is hers.

n“Get on.”

nYe Qing Xin opens the door and let Ye Qing Guo to get in. Then she also gets in.

nThe time she wants to get in, Jing Bo Yuan suddenly says: “Xin Xin.”

nYe Qing Xin looks at him: “Em?”

nJing Bo Yuan pats the seat beside him. “Come, sit down beside me.”

nYe Qing Xin is startled.

nThe front pa.s.senger seat.

nJing Bo Yuan is reminding her about her change of status.

nYe Qing Xin is happy. She doesn’t refuse and just closes the backseat door and opens the front pa.s.senger door to get in.

nThe car starts to move.

nYe Qing Xin suddenly remembers that she hasn’t introduced Ye Qing Guo to Jing Bo Yuan. She speaks up: “Chief Jing, this my little brother, Ye Qing Guo.”

nJing Bo Yuan looks at the road condition then turns his head a bit. He greets him gently: “Xiao Guo, nice to meet you.”

nYe Qing Guo looks at him: “…….”

nYe Qing Xin frowns: “Xiao Guo, Chief Jing is greeting you.”

nYe Qing Guo shows his innocent look: “……”

nYe Qing Xin glares at him and laughs dryly to Jing Bo Yuan: “He is more introvert, he will not talk with stranger. hehe….. Chief Jing, don’t mind it!”

nJing Bo Yuan just smiles and says: “There’s no harm.”

nYe Qing Xin smiles and says to Ye Qing Guo: “Xiao Guo, this is Chief Jing. Greet him.”

nYe Qing Guo: “…..”

nYe Qing Xin is really angry. She immediately reprimands him: “What did sister teach you before? Little kid needs to be polite. The time you look at someone that is senior than you, you should greet them right, do you forget?”

nYe Qing Guo shakes his head.

nYe Qing Xin: “Don’t why don’t you greet him? This is impolite, do you know?”

nYe Qing Guo’s face is full of grief.

nYe Qing Xin: “Are you mute? Later on I’ll not let you eat chocolate!”

nYe Qing Guo pouts and cries out. “Sister, you bully me. It’s you that said to me to not talk. You said that if I talk, you will take my chocolate. Now you want me to talk, if I don’t talk, you will take my chocolate. Sister you bully me!”

nYe Qing Xin: “…..”

nShe is embarra.s.sed. She forgot about it.

n“Okay, don’t howl again. Sister is wrong. Sister will not take your chocolate okay? Hurry up greet Uncle Jing.”

nYe Qing Guo just closes his mouth and laughs toward Jing Bo Yuan. He greets him: “Hi, Uncle Jing.”

nJing Bo Yuan just replies “em.”

nThe car arrives at the hospital and stops in the parking area.

nYe Qing Xin thanks him as usual: “Thank you Chief Jing.” Then she opens the door and comes to the back seat to take out Ye Qing Guo and plastic bags out.

nShe then goes to the driver’s window, she waves her head. “Goodbye, Chief Jing.”

nShe is a bit unwilling to part with him.

nJing Bo Yuan opens the car: “Get on. I have something to talk with you.”

nYe Qing Xin: “What is it?”

nJing Bo Yuan just looks serious: “Get on and we will talk.”

nYe Qing Xin then asks Ye Qing Guo: “Sis and Uncle Jing will chat. You just stand here and don’t go anywhere. Understand? Obey me okay. Today sister will give you one more chocolate.”

nYe Qing Guo is happy and nods.

nYe Qing Xin rubs his hair and she gets in.

nShe closes the door.

nThen she suddenly b.u.mps into a st.u.r.dy chest.

nHer nose is fulled of his scent. Her face is blushing.

nYe Qing Xin wants to struggle free: “Chief Jing…… you……”

nJing Bo Yuan says hoa.r.s.ely: “You are my girlfriend, but your brother calls me uncle. Xin Xin, what is it mean?

nYe Qing Xin purses her lips: “Chief Jing, I……..”

nJing Bo Yuan cuts her off and corrects her: “Call me Bo Yuan.”

nYe Qing Xin blushes and bits her lips.

nJing Bo Yuan hugs her tightly: “Call!”

nYe Qing Xin’s heart is beating. Her ear is closed to his chest, she also can hear his strong heartbeat too. “b.u.mp b.u.mp”.

nShe says in small voice: “Bo Yuan…….”

nJing Bo Yuan’s eyes turn dark. He raises her chin up. He watches her blushing face, bright eyes, pink lips.

nJing Bo Yuan lowers his head and kisses her lips.

nYe Qing Xin turns stiff. Her hands clutch his suit.

nShe closes her eyes.

nYe Qing Guo finishes eating his three chocolates. He licks his lip. He wants to continue to eat it, he wants to take another one. Suddenly he remembers that sister said that one day he only can eat two. So he doesn’t do it.

nHe looks at the car and feels worried. Are they done?

nHe comes over and knocks the window: “pok pok pok”. “Sis are you done? I’m hungry. Let’s go eat lunch okay?”

n“……..” No one mind him.

nHe knocks again.

nEveryone looks at him.

nAfter a while, the door is opened.

nYe Qing Xin doesn’t say anything and just holds Ye Qing Guo’s hand to wlak away. She walks so fast like a ghost is chasing after her.

n“Sis, walk slowly.” Ye Qing Guo protests.

nYe Qing Xin: “……”

nYe Qing Guo notices her sister is weird. He asks: “Sis, are you hot? Your face is really red!”

nYe Qing Xin: “……”

nThey go back to the hospital room. Auntie Song and Song Jiu are there.

nYe Qing Xin pats her face before she gets inside. She takes a deep breath and orders Ye Qing Guo to not talk recklessly. Then she opens the door.

nShe greets Auntie Song and Song Jiu: “Auntie Song, Jiu Jiu, you are here!”

nAuntie Song then calls them: “Xin Xin, Xiao Guo, hurry up and eat.”

nThis period of time Auntie Song always takes care of their food. Auntie Song always says that it’s unhealthy to eat food outside so she always cooks for them.

n“Wa! Food!” Ye Qing Guo is happy and just put the plastic bag on the sofa and runs to the table.

nAuntie Song and Song Jiu has had their lunch before so they sit down on the sofa.

nZhou Qiao Qiao is on the bed and eating her lunch.

nYe Qing Guo and Ye Qing Xin sits down and eat. Ye Qing Guo notices something is wrong. He pokes Ye Qing Xin’s face and says: “Sis, why are you lip is so swollen? Did uncle bully you?”

nEveryone looks over.

nYe Qing Xin’s face turns red.
