Ye Qing Xin purses her lips.
The time they return back to Nan Shan mansion, Auntie Zhang is gone. The mansion is in silence.
Jing Bo Yuan parks the car and gets off the car to open Ye Qing Xin’s door. He holds her hand and walks toward the door.
This weekend I will go to Hong Kong, you go with me.
Jing Bo Yuan says.
Em.
Ye Qing Xin is watching both of their silhouettes that she doesn’t pay attention to his words. She feels they look so romantic.
After a while, Jing Bo Yuan uses his fingerprint to open the door. Ye Qing Xin just realizes it:
What? Go to Hong Kong?
Em.
Why?
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t want to go.
This weekend she wants to go with Dou Weir to textile market to choose her material for the designer competition.
Jing Bo Yuan takes out their slippers.
In the past Madame Chang gave you a necklace right, didn’t you want to sell it?
Yes.
Ye Qing Xin nods:
Haven’t you look for someone to estimate the price?
Jing Bo Yuan helps her change her shoes then hugs her waist. They both go to the living room:
Yes, but someone should be willing to buy it right? I help you to place it on Sotheby’s auction house. This weekend there’ll be an auction there, you don’t want to come and see it?
Ye Qing Xin’s eyes turn bright.
Sotheby’s house is whole nation even whole Asia most famous action house. Only big bosses, who can spend money like water, can join it.
If her necklace can be sold there, supposedly it’ll not be cheap.
If she can earn one or two million, she can return all her debt to Tai Zheng ting.
She is thinking about it and nods hurriedly. She hugs Jing Bo Yuan’s arm and shows her happy face:
I want to go too.
Jing Bo Yuan asks her:
How much do you expect it to worth?
What do you mean?
How much you hope to earn by selling that necklace?
Jing Bo Yuan changes his wording.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything about it, she just says:
At least one million three hundred thousand.
Her family be dependent on Tai Zheng Ting for several years, she always takes notes of it. She counts she owes him around one million three hundred thousand.
Jing Bo Yuan nods and doesn’t say anything. He just holds her to go up.
Ye Qing Xin just realizes when she is on the stairs:
My room is at the first floor, why am I going up?
Jing Bo Yuan then bends his waist and carries her up.
Today I let Auntie Zhang moved our things up to the master bedroom.
Ye Qing Xin:
…..
She looks up to see his face. Last night she just decided that she will start to lock her door. But today she is informed that she will stay with him in a bedroom.
This man is too calculating, too dictatorship.
Ye Qing Xin is restless.
They are not husband and wife yet. How can an unmarried woman give herself to a man’s bedroom?
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her confused and blushing face:
We already do the those we should and shouldn’t. Why should you be worry to sleep in one room.
Ye Qing Xin:
…….
Jing Bo Yuan takes her to the master bedroom and put her down on the bathroom. She just starts to stammer to refute:
Who, Who, who did it with you….
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her blushing and embarrassed face, he smiles. He raises her chin and pecks at it:
Go and have a shower. Tomorrow you will go to the class.
He says it and goes out.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the closed door and pouts.
Last night he kept on tormenting her for long time, even though she had class. Moreover these days she felt a bit inconvenient…….
Thinking about their intimate moment last night, her face turns even redder. She pats her face.
She looks at the washstand. Her toothbrush is smaller than his. Both of the toothbrushes are placed closely like a couple.
Ye Qing Xin looks at it and purses her lips. She smiles.
She feels that these all are like dreams.
She looks around the bathroom. Jing Bo Yuan’s things are dark, yet hers are bright-colored, now the bathroom looks brighter than before.
Ye Qing Xin brushes her teeth. She wants to lock the door and then takes off her clothes to have a shower.
When she finishes her face, the door is opened.
Ye Qing Xin is surprised and turns her head to look over. Jing Bo Yuan comes inside with his serious face. He is bringing her pajamas inside.
You forget your clothes.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and puts down her clothes.
Ye Qing Xin covers her chest and cannot talk. She starts to stammer and ask him:
Why, why are you here?
She clearly looks the door.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her.
This my house, how can I not get in?
Ye Qing Xin:
…..
He stays there.
Ye Qing Xin directly wants to kick him out:
Thank you for bringing me in my clothes. Please go out, I’m not done yet.
Jing Bo Yuan raises his wrist to see his wrist watch and says calmly:
It’s already ten o’clock.
Ye Qing Xin is confused:
So?
There is a research before that said that it’s best for people to sleep around ten o’clock.
Ye Qing Xin has a bad premonition,
So, So?
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her:
So, for making sure to save time to get best time to sleep. We can do it together.
Ye Qing Xin’s heart is beating so fast. She doesn’t care about anything and closes the door of the shower room. Then shakes her head.
No, the shower room is too small for two people.
Jing Bo Yuan smiles and says:
What are you thinking? I just say that we can do it together, not taking bath together.
He says it and he turns his body to the washstand. He wants to brush his teeth.
He can see from the mirror, the beautiful scene. The girl is hugging her chest and she looks scared and alerted. She glares at him.
He suddenly speaks up:
You are not taking shower? You are waiting for me to finish brushing my teeth and join you in shower room?
Ye Qing Xin regains herself. She doesn’t wash her hair and just opens her shower gel. She uses the fastest speed to clean herself up.
She takes the opportunity when Jing Bo Yuan is still brushing his teeth and his back is facing her to go out and take her towel.
She wipes herself and wears her pajamas.
This time, Jing Bo Yuan has finished brushing his teeth. He put down his toothbrush, she is being alerted of the possibility of Jing Bo Yuan turning his body. She continues to wear her clothes.
The time she is done, Jing Bo Yuan still faces the mirror.
She then comes over and pulls his sleeve:
I’m done, it’s your turn….
Jing Bo Yuan turns his head to see him, his dark gaze makes her feels surprised.
Ye Qing Xin takes a step back.
But in the next moment, she is pulled into his embrace. She could smell the minty scent on him.
Jing Bo Yuan intertwines both of their hand and presses her to the wall. He kisses her deeply.
His phone suddenly rings.
He looks somewhat unhappy to let her go.
He keeps his hand on her waist and answers the phone.
Ye Qing Xin just sticks her ear close to his chest. She could hear his heartbeat. Somehow the sound makes her relaxed.
Jing Bo Yuan is talking in a foreign language that she cannot understand.
After he ends the call, he put his phone down. He kisses Ye Qing Xin’s face and let her go:
Go to sleep.
Ye Qing Xin rubs her burning hot face and goes out.
Jing Bo Yuan’s bedroom is really spacious and decorated in dull deep grey. The room is really a bachelor man’s room.
The bed is covered with grey sheet, Ye Qing Xin goes over and looks at the bookshelves. She takes two of them, one is an economics book and other one is a psychology book.
Both of the books are in foreign language. She just realizes that all of his books are in foreign language. She feels so proud of him. It should be hard to persist oneself to read these thick books.
She opens the economic books and notices there are very few annotation. His writing is very full of charismatic.
Ye Qing Xin smiles.
She puts back the books and goes to the bed. She lays down and covers herself comfortably.
She stares at the ceiling and hesitates whether she wants to seize the opportunity of him taking a shower to run downstairs, to return to her previous room. She thinks about it then she just gives up.
Before she locked the bathroom and Jing Bo Yuan also can open it, so what if she goes to another room?
She closes her eyes and suddenly hears:
Xin Xin, I forgot about my clothes.
Ye Qing Xin purses her lips and acts that she doesn’t hear it.
After a while:
Xin Xin, are you hoping that I don’t wear my clothes and just sleep directly? I don’t mind…..
Ye Qing Xin just stands up and goes to his cupboard to take out his pajamas and underwear. She goes to the door and just passes it to him through the small crack.
She thinks about it and decides to go down for a while.
She carries up her purple blanket from her previous room to the bedroom. Jing Bo Yuan is leaning back on the head of bed and reading his book.
He has his cigarette between his fingers but he doesn’t light it.
Jing Bo Yuan raises his head to see her. He looks indifferent when he notices that she is carrying a blanket.
Ye Qing Xin just explains with sneer:
I think your blanket is not that big. It’s not enough for two people….. so I…….
The more she explains, she feels that her excuse is shoddy.
Jing Bo Yuan just says to her calmly:
Let’s sleep.
Ye Qing Xin feels nothing is wrong with him.
She just places her blanket in the far corner far from Jing Bo Yuan. The time she wants to lay down, she notices his ankle.
His ankle is still swollen.
She frowns:
Is your ankle still hurt?
Recently she always watches him to walk well like he is not hurt, she thought that it’s already healed.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at his wrist and says indifferently:
A bit.
Ye Qing Xin is somewhat unhappy.
This man, how can he not know how to take a good care of himself?
Last time the doctor gave you an ointment, did you apply it?
Jing Bo Yuan notices the clear distressed on her eyes. He smiles and pulls her into a hug. He kisses her forehead:
I forgot.
Ye Qing Xin:
Where did you put it? Let me help you to apply it.
Jing Bo Yuan turns his body toward the drawer.
Ye Qing Xin directly understands and pulls him back to the bed and let him lay down:
don’t move, I will take it.
She opens the drawer and she is shocked. Inside of the drawer is full of Okamoto (Cndm). She turns her head to glare at Jing Bo Yuan.
Jing Bo Yuan is still very calm:
I bought it yesterday. In the future, it will be used.
Ye Qing Xin:
……..
This man unexpectedly can say that excuse with serious and stern face.
She closes the drawer with force. Then she asks again:
Where is the ointment?
At the bottom of the drawer.
She sits on the bedside and applies the ointment. She presses his swollen feet slowly. Jing Bo Yuan’s laugh is stiff. Ye Qing Xin bits her lips to control her laughter.
After she is done, she goes to wash her hand. The time she looks at the mirror, she just knows why he kept on looking at the mirror. He could see everything from the mirror, the whole process she took the shower!
This man!
She just goes back and climbs on her side of the bed. She covers herself well in her blanket. She just put her back facing him and doesn’t want to talk with him.
She could feel his gaze on her back. Then the light is switched off.
Ye Qing Xin feels the bed is swaying. He lays down.
The room is in silent, she could only hear both of their breath.
Not long after that.
Jing Bo Yuan puts inside one of his hand to Ye Qing Xin’s blanket. Ye Qing Xin hasn’t responded and he just says:
My hand is a bit cold, help me to warm it up.
Ye Qing Xin:
………….
After a while.
He puts one of his leg inside her blanket:
My leg is also cold.
Ye Qing Xin:
Mr Jing, it’s summer!
Em.
Then he just put all of his body inside Ye Qing Xin’s blanket. He pulls her to his embrace. He starts to kiss her neck.
Ye Qing Xin:
……
Looking at how intense he starts to act, Ye Qing Xin clutches his face:
Didn’t you say that it’s best to sleep at ten o’clock? Now it’s past ten…
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t stop:
A researcher says that it’s good to do lots of sportS for health.
Ye Qing Xin is panting:
A researcher also says that a middle-aged man should take a good care of his health and cultivate himself through meditation, he is unsuitable to be …….work hard to excessively….
Jing Bo Yuan kisses Ye Qing Xin’s earlobe. His hot breath sprays on her earlobe:
Xin Xin, I’m not yet thirty five years old. Middle-aged is still long way.
Ye Qing Xin:
…….
Today supposedly she will sleep late again.
In the next few days, Jing Bo Yuan is very busy. Everyday he comes home very late after the business dinner. Ye Qing Xin got a scold in a day, she waited for him to go home so she just goes to sleep before he is back.
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t disturb her sleep.
Friday, Ye Qing Xin just finishes her class and goes to the B university gate. The time she gets in the car, Jing Bo Yuan passes him a card. Ye Qing Xin looks at it. It’s the Hong Kong and Macau travel permit.
She is startled.
Jing Bo Yuan drives and says:
We will go to the airport now, our flight will be at seven o’clock.
Now it’s already six o’clock.
It’s too rush.
Why? Shouldn’t we set out tomorrow? I haven’t packed up.
Jing Bo Yuan:
I have some matters to attend in Hong Kong. So I change the schedule. Your suitcase is in the trunk.
Ye Qing Xin feels that as long as he is beside her, she can just be free and doesn’t do anything. She can be worry-free.
When they arrive at the airport, Luo Feng welcomes them and passes their ticket. Then he also takes both of their suitcase.
Ye Qing Xin smiles:
Assistant Luo, you are better now?
Luo Feng smiles:
em.
Congrats.
Thanks.
Jing Bo Yuan takes her to first-class cabin passage.
It’s the first time for her to get on the plane. She doesn’t know the difference between first-class and economy class. She is seated in spacious seat like a bed. She is served well. She looks at Jing Bo Yuan and silently critics him.
A capitalist indeed enjoys the life.
