Chapter 176 (1/2)

He listens to her words and turns silent for a moment. Then he just easily shifts the topic: “You have moved out for two months, shouldn’t it be time for you to go back home.”

Ye Qing Xin lays down on Jing Bo Yuan’s arm and buries her head on his neck.

After a long time.

She speaks up: “I’ve a busy schedule now. I have forty classes in a week. On the weekdays I’ll stay in the dorm, on the weekend, I’ll go home and accompany you, okay?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything. Ye Qing Xin raises her head and looks at his face. Ye Qing Xin just regards his silence as his approval.

Monday.

She doesn’t know why but she feels that Jing Suo Suo wants to speak but she suddenly just stops.

During the break, when she is coming inside the restroom, Jing Suo Suo stops on her. She calls after her. “Xin Xin.” Her smile is stiff.

Ye Qing Xin watches her fax and asks: “Do you have anything to say to me?”

Jing Suo Suo says: “Nothing.”

Ye Qing Xin narrows her eyes: “Suo Suo, has anyone tell you that every time you lie, your ears turn really red?”

“Ah, really?” Jing Suo Suo raises her hands and rubs both of her ears. “No one has ever told me that.”

She says it and just realizes that it is a trap. She is startled and responds.

“Xin Xin, you are really mean!” Jing Suo Suo stomps her feet like a little kid.

Ye Qing Xin takes her to the corner: “Say it. I notice that since this morning you seem to have something to say to me. What is it?”

Jing Suo Suo bites her lips and falls silent for a while. At last she says: “Let me tell you, don’t be angry. You must not tell my Ge that I am the one that told you about it.”

Ye Qing Xin feels a faint of bad premonition. She smiles and says: “What is it? Why are you acting so mysterious?”

Jing Suo Suo is serious: “Promise me.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Okay, I’ll not be angry. I will not tell anyone that you tell me something.”

Jing Suo Suo gets her promise and moves closer to Ye Qing Xin’s ear. “Da Bo Mu (Eldest auntie) wants to let Da Ge to marry Gu Qiao from Yan family. Nai Nai gives a tacit approval. Tonight Da Bo Mu invites Gu Qiao’s parents to our house to have dinner. That time they will also invite Da Ge home, to feel out Da Ge’s opinion.”

Ye Qing Xin’s face turns pale, but her smile is still there. “Isn’t their relationship not really good? How can she suddenly be so warm-hearted?”

Jing Suo Suo says: “How can I know it. Da Bo Mu always acts so cool, I also don’t dare to talk with her… but Xin Xin, don’t you worry. Da Ge likes you, he will not care about that Gu Qiao. Also me, I will always stand on your side!”

JIng Suo Suo vows solemnly. Her action makes Ye Qing Xin smiles and feels good.

“Thank you, Suo Suo.”

“What are you thanking for? We’ve been roommates for so long. We have good relationship. Oh right, tonight you should find a way to stop Da Ge, don’t let he go back home to have dinner.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Didn’t you say that your Da Ge will not mind Gu Qiao, now you ask me to stop him, so tell me do you believe him?”

“Of course I believe him, but you know that Nai Nai is the one that raised Da Ge up. He always has a good relationship with Nai Nai. Nai Nai is more like his biological mother than Da Bo Mu. If it’s only Da Bo Mu’s initiative, Da Ge will definitely ignore it. But the important thing is Nai Nai also thinks the same way. She is an elderly, she is more conservative. Though she likes you but….”

Jing Suo Suo doesn’t finish her sentences, but Ye Qing Xin understands her meaning.

Old madame Jing likes Ye Qing Xin, but for Old Madame Jing, Ye Qing Xin is not as important as great grandson.

“Actually for this it’s also my Pa and Er Shu (Second uncle)’s faulty. If one of them has a son, then Nai Nai will not place all her hope to have great grandson on Da Gew.” Jing Suo Suo’s eyes turn bright. “Xin Xin, if not you can just register your marriage with Da Ge. With the red book, Nai Nai will approve. Da Bo Mu will also not do anything. Anyway you will not live with her so you don’t need to be afraid of her.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles.

She could feel Jing Suo Suo’s effort to comfort her.

After the lunch, Ye Qing Xin returns to the dorm.

Ye Qing Xin thinks about Jing Suo Suo’s words and takes her phone. She walks out and stands at the balcony.

She dials Jing Bo Yuan’s number. It’s answered.

“Xin Xin.”

He is not busy.

Every time if he is busy, he will just answer and asks: “Is there any problem?”

Ye Qing Xin feels that she has became more understanding about him.

Ye Qing Xin asks him: “Have you eaten your lunch?”

Jing Bo Yuan: “I’m eating now.”

Ye Qing Xin: “Then do I disturb you?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything.

Ye Qing Xin asks again: “You didn’t forget to eat ground peanut before eating lunch right?”

Jing Bo Yuan laughs: “You made a reminder on my phone.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles. She is afraid that he will forget so last night she made reminder on his phone. Three times a day.

“Then….. do you have plan tonight?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t answer, he just asks: “Why?”

Ye Qing Xin says: “I want to have dinner with you.”

Jing Bo Yuan answers: “I’ll pick you up at six.”

The calls ends.

She starts to look around at the garden. She notices that there is a young couple that is kissing each other. She watches them. Suddenly her phone rings.

It’s a call from the Si Ming Jing of Pear company.

Ye Qing Xin joins the competition and Connie let her do it in one of the company room. She also assigns one of supervisor to help her. It really saves her from lots of trouble.

“Jing Jie.” Si Ming Jing is a forty years old woman. She hates it when everyone calls her auntie so Ye Qing Xin calls her Jing Jie. It makes her happy.

Si Ming Jing says: “Xin Xin, do you have time to come over. I’ve printed a pattern that you asked. Come here and see it if it’s the result that you want.”

“Thank you Jing Jie.”

“No need to be so polite. I should do it.”

At night six o’clock.

Jing Bo Yuan shows up at the B university main gate with his car on time.

Ye Qing Xin finishes her class at 05:10 p.m. After the class, she just directly waits for him at the gate. Jing Bo Yuan just stops his car and Ye Qing Xin just runs over and opens the car.

“Are you waiting for a long time?” Jing Bo Yuan sees that she was waiting under the tree. She looked bored.

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Big Boss Jing is worthy for me to wait.”

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her head and laughs. “What do you want to eat?”

Ye Qing Xin thinks about it and says: “I want to eat the salmon at Xi Jie’s restaurant.”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything and just drives the car to Wen Ren Xi’s restaurant.

On the way, Jing Bo Yuan’s phone vibrates.

Ye Qing Xin turns her head to look at the window.

Perhaps it’s because she could guess the caller.

Indeed, Jing Bo Yuan says: “I will eat outside, I will not go back…. Em…… After the dinner, I’ll go back directly to Nan Shan mansion…… just handle it….”

The call ends.

“Who is it? Are you busy?” Ye Qing Xin looks at his face: “If you are busy…. I can eat by myself….”

Jing Bo Yuan holds her hand, he intertwined their fingers together. He doesn’t say anything else.

Ye Qing Xin looks at the side of his face. She comes closer and hugs his right arm. She just leans on her arm.
