In the dark, Ye Qing Xin closes her eyes.

At night there’s a thunderstorm. Ye Qing Xin moves her body in anxiousness. One of Jing Bo Yuan’s hand covers Ye Qing Xin’s ear and his other hand pats her back.

His action is just like when an adult takes care of a scared little kid.

Ye Qing Xin is surprised, then she smiles. She hugs him even tighter and it let her feels so safe.

The next day morning. 06:00 A.M.

Ye Qing Xin opens her eyes and notices that because of the weather, she somewhat feels so spiritless.

She doesn’t like a wet and gloomy weather.

Jing Bo Yuan is not on the bed. She could hear a noise from the bathroom. She just lays down and looks at the ceiling.

After a while, the bathroom door is opened. Jing Bo Yuan comes out with a towel wraps on his waist. He notices that she is awake and comes over. “You are awake.”

Ye Qing Xin extends both of her hands. Jing Bo Yuan holds Ye Qing Xin’s hands and he helps her to sit up.

Looking at her sluggish mood, Jing Bo Yuan lifts up her messy hair. He asks her: “Are you okay? Are you sick?”

Ye Qing Xin shakes her head. “It’s nothing.” She extends both of her arms and wants him to carry her up. She acts like a spoiled little kid: “I don’t want to walk, take me up to the bathroom.”

Jing Bo Yuan carries her up to the bathroom. He kicks her slippers like it is a soccer ball till it reaches the washing stand. He then puts him down. Jing Bo Yuan helps Ye Qing Xin to prepare the toothbrush with toothpaste. He also prepares the cup of water for her. Then he goes outside.

Ye Qing Xin looks at it and smiles.

It’s just an ordinary thing, he doesn’t need to do it. But he does it for her. Ye Qing Xin is brushing her teeth and wears her slippers. She paces to the dressing room. She opens the door.

She notices that the man is looking at the mirror and buttoning up his shirt. Ye Qing Xin leans on the door and watches him. She holds the toothbrush and from time to time brushing it. It’s a simple action but Jing Bo Yuan does it very charmingly.

After he is done buttoning up, he unbuckles his belt and stuffs in the hem of the shirt into the pants.

Ye Qing Xin watches him while she is holding her toothbrush. She brushes her teeth halfheartedly.

When he is done buckling up his belt, Jing Bo Yuan takes his red tie. Ye Qing Xin walks forward and takes the red tie from him. She says: “Let me help you.”

Ye Qing Xin is a bit shocked when she gets the tie.

She cannot……

She lifts up her eyes and secretly peeks at Jing Bo Yuan. She blushes because she notices he is watching her intensely. She just passes back the tie to him.

“That…. it’s better for you to tie it by yourself.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles, he finds she is so amusing. “She cannot do it?”

This mature man is really elegant and stylish.

“Let me teach you.”

Ye Qing Xin hasn’t responded. Jing Bo Yuan stands behind her back. His two arms surround her. He teaches her step by step to tie a necktie.

“Just like this, do you remember?”

Jing Bo Yuan demonstrates once then he unties it again. He lets her try again.

Tying a necktie is not complicated and complex, Ye Qing Xin can remember just by seeing it once. Though she is not skilled with it.

When she is done, she smiles with satisfaction and says: “It’s done.”

Jing Bo Yuan raises his hand to make it looser. “It’s a bit tight.”

Ye Qing Xin pauses. She remembers one time during their intimate moment, Jing Bo Yuan had hard time to come in. He asked her: “It’s a bit tight, you are nervous?”

She blushes. She bites her lips and blinks. She asks him: “You don’t like it tight?”

She is startled and just goes out of the dressing room.

Jing Bo Yuan pauses and looks at the woman who makes a joke with him. He just smiles.

Ye Qing Xin stands in front of the mirror. Her face is so red.

It’s probably because they are getting closer, she feels that the gap between them is not that wide anymore.

When she is done freshening up, Ye Qing Xin goes out of the bathroom. Jing Bo Yuan is sitting down on the sofa while he is on call too.

When he notices her, he looks normal. He seems to be unaffected by her words. Ye Qing Xin starts to relax.

Ye Qing Xin goes to the dressing room to change her clothes. The time she is dressed up, Jing Bo Yuan hugs her.

He says to her ear: “For some things, being tighter are good. But some things need to be loose.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled and he is answering her question before.

Then he kisses her.

She feels that her spiritless mood just suddenly disappears.

Jing Bo Yuan releases her and Ye Qing Xin moves closer to say something on his ear. With a hint of shyness, she says: “I also like yours……. big, every time it’s very good.”

Jing Bo Yuan laughs outloud.

Jing Bo Yuan picks up his suit and holds her hand to go downstair

It’s raining outside.

On the dining table, Old Madame Jing suddenly says: “I’ve been staying here for too long, after this meal, I’ll go back to my house.”

“Go home?” Ye Qing Xin swallows her food and says: “Aren’t you feeling comfortable to stay here, Nai Nai?”

Old Madame Jing smiles: “It’s been a long time, I haven’t gone home. I will go home and stay there for few days. I also want to check up on your Er Shu’s marriage matter. Your Er Shu (Jing Yi) is old. Till now he is single. I am worried about it. This time I want to persuade her to marry. Later on if you meet him, you also need to persuade him. Especially A Yuan, you are the closest one to him, he will listen to you.”

Jing Bo Yuan nods and places the boiled egg on Ye Qing Xin’s plate.

Ye Qing Xin says nothing else, she knows clearly that Old Madame Jing is worried about her second kid

She just reminds: “Then when you go home, ask the driver to drive slowly.”

Old Madame Jing smiles: “Okay, Xin Xin, don’t worry.”

Talking about the marriage, Old Madame Sheng speaks up. She sounds helpless: “Our A Xin is also thirty three years old this year. I don’t know when he will get marry. I heard that he is dating a female celebrity. I’d watched one of her movie. Ahyooo…… she looks so affectionate with another male in the movie, I even feel so embarrassed when I watched it……”

“It’s better to find someone like our Xin Xin. She is simple and not complicated. I don’t hope that A Xin can marry an excellent woman, but at least the acceptable one, what do you gus think?”

Old Madame Sheng is a bit conservative.

Old Madame Jing says: “Exactly. We don’t wish women that they marry to be an excellent, but at least they come from a good family.”

“But……” Old Madame Jing says with a bit of sadness: “Sometimes you shouldn’t force him too much. You should consider the condition. In the beginning, if I didn’t be so stubborn when opposing Lao Er be with that woman, he will not be so alone without wife and kids till now.

Jing Yi really loves that woman. For her, he is willing to not marry. Every time Old Madame Jing sees him being alone, she feels regretful.

That woman was working at nightclub. Old Madame Jing sent out a person to check up on her background in detail. Before she works as one of the woman of the nightclub, she knew Jing Yi. Jing Yi took her away so she was still clean and pure. But a lot of men have seen her working there so a lot of people gossiped and made fun of Jing Yi. That way Jing Family, as a reputable family, of course cannot accept that kind of woman to marry in.

Old Madame Jing forced her to abort the kids, forced her to act like she falls in love to another man to make Jing Yi stops loving her.

Thinking about that makes Old Madame Jing feels sad.

Now when she considers, she feels like she killed her own grandkid.

“Nai Nai, you want to make a match between Er Shu and Xi Jie? I think they are suitable for each other. I also like Xi Jie so much.” She says: “Xi Jie is still young. Er Shu is a soldier. He is strong and healthy. I think the time they are together, they might be able to give you another grandkid.”

“You also think that way?” Old Madame Jing’s face changes. She says happily: “Xiao Yi also said that way. Xiao Xi, that kid, she indeed is sad. She has cared for that Lao Er’s cat and lived independently for twenty years. Our Lao Er is unfair toward her.”

“Oh right. This Saturday, because you guys are free too, I’ll prepare to have dinner gathering. It’s been a long time since we gathered together. Don’t you guys arrange anything else this Saturday.”

Jing Bo Yuan and Ye Qing Xin nods.

After the breakfast.

Jing Bo Yuan goes upstair and takes a thick jacket for Ye Qing Xin. He will driver her to the university.

Outside the mansion, the wind blows so greatly while it also rains at the same time.

Jing Bo Yuan let Ye Qing Xin to wait under the veranda. He takes the car out of the garage. After around five minute, the car stops under the veranda. He gets off the car and opens the umbrella. He makes sure that she is covered well with the umbrella before he helps her get on the car.

When both of them are on the car, Ye Qing Xin realizes that Jing Bo Yuan’s suit are wet. Unlike her, she doesn’t even have any wet spot.

Ye Qing Xin pursues her lips, she takes few tissues and helps him to dry it a bit.

Jing Bo Yuan waits for her to be done and kisses her cheek. He says nothing and just starts to drive the car.

Because of the rain, it’s a cool day.

Before they went out before, Jing Bo Yuan insisted her to wear a very thick coat. She is not wet so she is not feeling cold. She notices that Jing Bo Yuan just wears a thin shirt and wet suit now. She is worried that he will get a cold.

After thirty minutes, the car stops in front of the B university’s main gate. There is a barricade that doesn’t let car go inside.

Ye Qing Xin unbuckles her seatbelt and says to him with care: “Don’t forget to change your clothes when you are at the office.”

Jing Bo Yuan just stops her to get off the car. He says: “Don’t get off yet.”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t explain anything. He dials someone.

It is answered. He says few words.

Ye Qing Xin listens to his words and she is so surprised. When he is done, she says to him: “I can take the bus to the building. You don’t need to send me inside. B university has rule that cars shouldn’t get inside.”

Jing Bo Yuan pats her head and says calmly: “It’s okay.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……”

There’s no car allowed inside the university area. Later on the time she gets off the car, being this high key. She cannot imagine what will everyone say about her.

She wants to say something but suddenly the barricade in front is opened. The guard comes over and lets their car in.

Jing Bo Yuan starts the car and gets inside the university. Because there are few puddles on the street, Jing Bo Yuan drives the car slowly to avoid the water splashes to anyone else.

When they pass the library, Ye Qing Xin notices two familiar figures.

The car draws near, the two figures turn around. Ye Qing Xin says: “Stop.”

They are Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir.

The car stops.

Jing Suo Suo looks at the car license plate. Her eyes turn bright, she holds Dou Weir’s arm and runs toward the car. She opens the door and get on the car.

“Ge, you are so great. You even drive the car inside? You called the Director of B university right?” Jing Suo Suo tidies up her umbrella and says to Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, give me few tissues.”

Ye Qing Xin passes her tissues.

Dou Weir also gets on the car. Both of them wipes their pants.

“I just got well from my cold. Today I was wet because of the rain….” Jing Suo Suo says: “Ge, you are too unfriendly ah. You drive Xin Xin here but you don’t call me. If I know about this, I will just wait at the security room in front of the gate. I will not be this wet…..”

Jing Bo Yuan just focus on driving his car, he ignores Jing Suo Suo’s complains.

Jing Suo Suo notices that her words are ignored by him. She turns her head and talks to Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, my bro is caring about his wife and not his younger sister?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles.

Jing Suo Suo sighs. “Oh right, just let it be. I use to it.”

Dou Weir says: “Okay, in the midway you are already on the car. If not you will be wetter. Yesterday the bus breakdown and now it’s rain heavily. We are in bad luck.”

The car stops in front of the building, where they will have class.

Ye Qing Xin unbuckles her seatbelt. She tells him again: “When you are at your office, don’t forget to change your clothes. Don’t get a cold.”

Jing Bo Yuan touches her ponytail and says: “I know.”

Three of them get off the car.

Jing Bo Yuan then drives the car to leave.

Lots of people are watching them but Ye Qing Xin pretends not to see them. It’s lucky that Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir are with her. If not she cannot imagine what the gossip about her be.

It keeps on raining till around 11:00 a.m.

At first Ye Qing Xin is worried that Jing Bo Yuan will drive his car over to pick her up. It’s too provoking.

Finally the class ends, Jing Bo Yuan calls her.

Ye Qing Xin waits till the professor leaves and she takes out her phone to answer.

“Bo Yuan.”

“The path will be slippery, you need to be careful.”

“Okay.”

“The dining hall is a bit slippery, let Su Suo holds you.”

“…… okay.”

“Don’t eat too much.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……..”
