nShe just laughs awkwardly and looks at Jing Bo Yuan. She notices he is looking at her, while his lips crooks up. Her face is red and she just leaves.

nDriver Lu is waiting for her at the lobby.

nNow it’s six thirty in the morning, there’s a bit of time before the peak hour.

nAfter half an hour, she arrives at B university.

nYe Qing Xin gets off the car and notices Dou Weir is waiting for taxi.

nShe is wearing a light blue elegant long skirt, her hair is wavy, she also wears a light makeup. She also wears a pearl ear-cuff.

nYe Qing Xin is startled with it.

nShe comes over.

n“Weir, the cla.s.s will start soon. Where are you going?”

nShe smiles and asks her.

nDou Weir just looks at her and turns her head. She doesn’t say anything.

nYe Qing Xin stays with her for a while, a taxi stops in front of them. Dou Weir just gets inside the car and leaves.

nYe Qing Xin then goes to her cla.s.s.

nThat afternoon, Dou Weir doesn’t go back.

nYe Qing Xin asks Jing Suo Suo about it, Jing Suo Suo says that she doesn’t know anything. She just tells her that last night Dou Weir answered a call and started to choose her outfit…….

nProbably she is meeting with someone important.

nBut she notices something is wrong with Jing Suo Suo’s gaze. She should know something.

nIt’s just Ye Qing Xin feels it’s not good to ask when she doesn’t willing to share.

nDou Weir was nervous the whole night. The first thing she did after she woke up was dressing up. At first she wanted to wear the low-cut dress but she suddenly remembered what happened during the Bo Wei’s anniversary so she gave it up. She chose the more conservative one.

nShe goes t the hospital to meet Jing Bo Yuan.

nThe time she arrives, it’s not yet eight o’clock.

nShe stays at the lobby and waits for an hour. At nine o’clock, she dial that unknown number.

n“Chief Jing, I don’t have elevator card, I cannot go up?”

n“Wait.” His tone is cold.

nDou Weir is startled, she is somewhat depressed.

nShe just stays in front of the elevator and waits.

nAfter ten minutes, the elevator opens. A fifty years old maid smiles and asks her: “Excuse me, are you Ms Dou?”

nDou Weir smiles and nods.

nShe follows her to go up.

nAt the sickroom.

nJing Bo Yuan is wearing his white shirt and sitting down on the bed. He is reading his paper.

nDou Weir is terrified when she sees him.

nIt’s clear that she wants to meet him, but the time she meets him, she starts to cower.

nShe bits her lips and comes over: “Chief Jing.”

nJing Bo Yuan raises his head and nods: “Sit down.”

nDou Weir sits down at the sofa.

nJing Bo Yuan puts down his pen and closes his folder. He looks at her.

n“If you have something to say then say it.”

nDou Weir looks at the two maids.

nJing Bo Yuan just says: “Just say it directly, they are no harm.”

nDou Weir lowers her head and clenches her fist.

nShe says: “Chief Jing, two months ago at Mu Dan Hua Xia, why did you help me? Why did you help then give me work? Is it because I’m only Suo Suo’s roommate? It’s not because.. you have…. impression to me?”

nAt first she wants to ask, whether Jing Bo Yuan has feeling toward her.

nBut at last she just changes her wording.

nJing Bo Yuan looks at her, he is calm. I helped you not because you are Suo Suo’s roommate.”

nDou Weir is happy, her heart beats quickly: “Then why?”

nJing Bo Yuan just says expressionlessly: “I helped you, not because of you. But because I don’t hope that Xin Xin has a friend that mingles with nightlife. Your bad might influences her.”

nDou Weir turns cold.

nHer lips tremble: “Then that night, you treated me and Xin Xin for a midnight snack, it’s also because of Xin Xin?”

nJing Bo Yuan says honestly: “Em.”

nSo that’s how it is.

nDou Weir’s tears fall down. She smiles and she seems to laugh at herself.

nShe is so naive that she thinks that he has feeling toward her.

nShe doesn’t expect that she is too stupid.

n“Chief Jing….” Dou Weir still has confusion. “I and Xin Xin know you at the same time. I am not uglier than her. Our grades are not too different. We even have similar family condition, why, why you only act kind t her?”

nJing Bo Yuan thinks of a memory.

nHe and Ye Qing Xin already know each other since fourteen years ago.

nIt’s just she seems to forget him.

nVery quickly he regains himself.

nHe doesn’t answer Dou Weir, but he says: “I already answer your question. Now tell me your condition. I don’t wish that Xin Xin be unhappy because the problem between you guys. Even though you cannot be her friend, at least you can just meet her.”

nDou Weir smiles.

n“Could it be that in your eyes, I am a greedy woman, that without benefit, I’ll not reconcile with Xin Xin?”

nJing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything, he just looks at her.

nDou Weir is shocked.

nIs this Jing Bo Yuan want to explode his rage?

nShe raises her hand to fix her hair. She feels somewhat panic. She doesn’t pay attention that something falls down from her ear to the sofa.

nHer eyes are red. Her appearance will melt any man that sees it, but Jing Bo Yuan keeps his calm.

nShe laughs: “If you really want something for me, then just give me money. I am lack of money.”

nJing Bo Yuan just says coldly: “How much.”

nDou Weir considers for a while.

nHer Shu Shu (uncle) Shen Shen (Auntie) want to buy a house for their son, with decoration fee, it probably be four hundred thousand.

nShe already sent some money home.

n“Five hundred thousand.” She says.

nShe should ask more just in case they ask for more.

nJing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything, he just takes out her bank cheque and signs it. He pa.s.ses to his maid. The maid pa.s.ses to Dou Weir.

nAfter Dou Weir leaves, Jing Bo Yuan lifts his blanket, he wants to go to the restroom.

nThe maids comes over hurriedly to help her.

nJing Bo Yuan suddenly remembers Ye Qing Xin’s words this morning to two bodyguards. He laughs lightly and says coldly: “Come here you guys.”

nDou Weir comes out from the hospital. The sun is so bright that it hurts her eyes.

nShe raises the cheque.

nFive hundred thousand comes so easy, is it count as she is infected by Xin Xin’s luck?

nXin Xin, you are luckier than me.

nJing Bo Yuan for you, he can do anything in anyway. He even spends money to buy your friendship.

nDou Weir takes out her phone and notices it’s already ten o’clock.

nShe takes the taxi and goes to the bank. She moves the money to her account. Then she goes to a luxury hotel. She doesn’t care about the price and just orders a table full of dishes and also orders a several bottles of over ten thousand Bordeaux.

nShe drinks a bottle and her face turns red.

nShe looks at the time now it’s eleven forty. It’s the time the cla.s.s ends.

nShe dials Ye Qing Xin’s number.

nThis time Ye Qing Xin is on her way to go to the car. Driver Lu is waiting to pick her up.

nHer phone rings.

nShe stops and looks at the phone. Without her expectation, it’s Dou Weir’s call.

nShe feels happy and answers it.

n“Weir! Where did you? You weren’t attending cla.s.s also not asking for a day off. The professor asked about you, I helped you to make an excuse….”

n“Xin Xin…..” Dou Weir cuts her off and says, “I’m sorry…”

nYe Qing Xin is startled: “Weir…”

n“I’m sorry Xin Xin. I shouldn’t envy you because you get what I don’t get. But I couldn’t accept it. I just be envious at you because you can get what I want. Xin Xin, I’m sorry. We still be best friends, okay?”

n“Weir, are you drunk? Where are you?”

n“I’m okay. I’m having a party with a friend. Don’t worry. I just a bit. I just drank a gla.s.s. Really….. Xin Xin, I’ll hang up first. Don’t worry about me. I’m okay. Really. Bye bye…”

nShe just hangs up without waiting for Ye Qing Xin’s response.

nAlthough she doesn’t understand why Dou Weir suddenly changes her mind and apologizes to her, but she couldn’t deny that she is happy.

nDriver Lu notices Ye Qing Xin’s figure and opens the door.

nYe Qing Xin smiles: “Thank you, Driver Lu.” Then she gets on the car.

nDriver Lu smiles: “It’s my duty.”

nAfter half an hour, Ye Qing Xin gets inside Jing Bo Yuan’s room.

nIt’s just the time she get inside, she noticed Luo Feng, whose head is wrapped with thick gauze and his left arm and leg are in plaster cast. He stands in front of Jing Bo Yuan’s bed.

nBehind Luo Feng, there’s around thirty years old woman.

nOld Madame Jing and Old Mister Jing are sitting down on the sofa. Their faces are dark.

nYe Qing Xin is startled.

nWhat happened?

nShe hasn’t asked and Old Madame Jing just waves at her: “Xin Xin, come here, come and meet you Ye Ye (grandpa).”

nYe Qing Xin: “……..”

nShe comes over and bows politely at Old Mister Jing: “Jing Ye Ye , hi. I am Ye Qing Xin.”

nOld Mister Jing just returns from gathering with his comrades, it’s his first time to meet her.

nHis eyes are like a hawk, it’s sharp and fierce. He is examining Ye Qing Xin.

nYe Qing Xin looks at him, she doesn’t cower under his gaze.

nThe next moment.

nOld Mister Jing just nods at her and “Em.”

nOld Madame Jing corrects her: “Xin Xin, why you always be so estranged? Just call him Ye Ye!”

nYe Qing Xin: “…….”

nOld Madame Jing insists: “Call him that way, why are you startled?”

nYe Qing Xin purses her lips and smiles. She looks at Old Mister JIng and calls him sweetly: “Ye ye.”

nOld Mister Jing just replies “em!”

nHe looks happy too.

nOld Madame Jing is not too happy with his att.i.tude, she raises her hand to beat him with her fist. She is unhappy; “old man, your granddaughter-in-law is greeting you, what’s up with your att.i.tude? You still think that you are soldier!”

nOld Mister Jing is not happy too: “What are you doing? Why are you attacking me in front of the kids? What a scandal!”

n“Hmphh! So what? Who let you be so rude to my granddaughter-in-law?”

n“You…!” Old Mister Jing is furious and wants to leave: “Unreasonable!”

n“Ay, old man tell me, who is unreasonable? You are the unreasonable one!” Old Madame Jing chases after him, they starts to argue.

nYe Qing Xin; “……..”

nShe looks at Jing Bo Yuan: “Why don’t you try to persuade them to stop?”

nJing Bo Yuan: “It’s okay. They always act that way, you will get used to it.”

nYe Qing Xin: “…..”

nShe looks at Luo Feng and the woman. She is confused: “a.s.sistant Luo, you……”

nLuo Feng explains himself. His words are full of self-blame and regret: “Chief Jing was in accident because of my mistake. That day the time we came out from the airport, I was the one that drive the car. That time I was in fight with my wife. I was not concentrated and b.u.mped the car to the other car.”

n“Chief Jing, please punish me, if not this life time, I cannot be relieved….”

nYe Qing Xin just realizes.

nNo wonder these two days Jing Bo Yuan is hospitalized, she didn’t see Luo Feng. So it turns out he is also injured.

nLooking at Luo Feng’s condition, it’s clearly that his injury is worse than Jing Bo Yuan.

nThen the one behind him should be his wife.

nYe Qing Xin stands beside Jing Bo Yuan.

nJing Bo Yuan looks at Luo Feng. He says calmly: “that time you already do the most favorable action for me, you can let it go.”

nLuo Feng keeps on insisting: “But if I was focus, you will not be injured. Please punish me!”

nJing Bo Yuan is silent and say silently: “Then I’ll cut your half-year wage. Next time don’t bring your private matter to the work.”

nLuo Feng says: “Yes!”

nThen he and his wife go back to the room.

nAfter they leave, Jing Bo Yuan notices Ye Qing Xin’s smile and he clutches her hand: “You seem so happy, is there anything that make you happy?”

nYe Qing Xin smiles. She opens their lunch box and says: “Nothing really great. I was in fight with one friend, but we are good now. So I’m very happy.”

nJing Bo Yuan pinches her cheek lightly: “In the future if you have some problems, you can tell me. Don’t just keep it in your heart, okay?”

nShe blushes and nods.

nThey both eats their lunch.

nThen Ye Qing Xin helps Jing Bo Yuan to go to the restroom and helps her to walk around the room to help the digestion. It’s not good to keep on sitting down.

nAround twelve forty, she asks Jing Bo Yuan to have afternoon sleep.

nShe sleeps on the sofa too.

nWhen she carries the blanket to the sofa, she notices something on it.

nShe takes it and recognizes it. It’s the pearl ear cuff like the one Dou Weir has.

nSuddenly she remembers what Jing Suo Suo said, Dou Weir didn’t come to the cla.s.s today for meeting someone important.

nMoreover today, she dressed up prettily…….

nShe clutches the ear cuff and looks at Jing Bo Yuan. “Bo Yuan….”

n“Em?”

n“This morning did you have any guest?”

nJing Bo Yuan looks at her but he cannot guess her feeling.

nHe just asks again: “Why are you asking that?”

nYe Qing Xin just smiles and shakes her head: “It’s okay, I just ask randomly.”

nShe then puts back the blanket on the shelf: “Bo Yuan, I suddenly think of something, I need to go back to the university first. I’ll come back at night.”

nShe doesn’t wait for Jing Bo Yuan’s reaction, she just picks her bag and leaves.

nThe time she goes down, Driver Lu already waits for her on the lobby.

nYe Qing Xin is startled: “Why are you here?”

nDriver Lu replies with a smile: “Before Mr Jing called me that you will use the car so he asked me to take you.”

nYe Qing Xin hugs the handle of her bag and bits her lips a bit. She smiles: “I’m sorry to trouble you.”

nAfter an hour, she arrives at university.

nShe notices there’s no Dou Weir in the room. Both Qian Rong and Jing Suo Suo are napping.

nShe takes out her phone and calls her three times, but it’s unanswered.

nShe looks at the ear cuff on her grip.

nShe then stands in front of the window to let the wind blow her head to make it clearer.

nShe returns and puts the pearl ear cuff back to Dou Weir’s cupboard.

nShe looks calm and rational.

nDou Weir doesn’t return for their afternoon cla.s.s too.

nBetween the cla.s.ses, Ye Qing Xin wants to call her, but at last she doesn’t call.

n
