Ye Qing Xin is unhappy for his response. But she smiles and says nothing. She walks toward the dressing room.
She wears her pajamas and notices the bathroom door is closed. She could hear the sound of shower is running.
When Jing Bo Yuan comes out, Ye Qing Xin is sitting down o the sofa and eating her noodle.
“You don’t like it?” Jing Bo Yuan comes over and looks at her lack of appet.i.te.
“No.” Ye Qing Xin puts down her chopsticks and looks at her. “I want to eat custard tart.” She is silent and she asks embarra.s.singly: “Am I too much?’
Jing Bo Yuan smiles and strokes her head. “Wait for a while.”
He tidies up the chopsticks and bowl and goes downstair.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the door and wonders since when she starts to order him around.
She smiles and takes out her laptop. She opens her email and notices that she has no new email.
She wonders about the result of the compet.i.tion. She remembers that the announcement will be on January 14. It means tomorrow she will get the result.
She closes the laptop and just remember that 14 should be Ye Qing Guo’s birthday. She just realizes it’s been a long time since she visited him.
After a while.
Jing Bo Yuan comes inside the room again with the tray. Ye Qing Xin has already curled up on the sofa and fallen asleep. Her long straight hair is still bit wet. Jing Bo Yuan puts down the tray with five custard egg and gla.s.s of warm milk.
He doesn’t like desserts. But before he called Auntie Chi to teach him how to make it.
It’s a pity that Ye Qing Xin cannot taste it.
Jing Bo Yuan goes to the bathroom to take a hairdryer. He helps her to dry her hair.
Ye Qing Xin is sleeping soundly, she doesn’t wake up.
Jing Bo Yuan pulls Ye Qing Xin closer and kisses her forehead. He is about to turn her head and looks at a sticky note near the lamp. “Tomorrow will be Xiao Guo’s birthday. After the cla.s.s pick him up for celebrate the birthday. Please don’t forget it. ? . ”
Jing Bo Yuan puts back the sticky note.
The next day Ye Qing Xin wakes up a bit late.
The time she wakes up, Jing Bo Yuan is not inside the room. She freshens up quickly and changes her clothes. The time she comes down, she notices that Jing Bo Yuan is sitting down on the sofa and reading newspaper. Today he doesn’t wear his suit. He just wears a casual grey sweater with his usual black pants.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Ye Qing Xin asks him: “Have you have your breakfast?”
Jing Bo Yuan puts down his newspaper and says: “Have your breakfast. I’ll send you to school. Don’t worry. We have time.”
There’re egg custards for breakfast.
Ye Qing Xin just remembers that she asked for egg custards last night but she fell asleep.
She thinks that it should be Auntie Chi’s homemade egg custard.
Auntie Zhang says to her: “Tai Tai, try it. These are made by Xian Sheng this morning for you.”
`’……” Ye Qing Xin is surprised. Jing Bo Yuan can make dessert?
She takes one and bites it. It’s soft and sweet. She feels happy.
After the breakfast, she comes out of the dining room and sees Jing Bo Yuan is still reading his newspaper.
She walks toward her silently and covers his eyes. “Guess who I am.”
Jing Bo Yuan closes his newspaper and throws it to the table. He says calmly: “I cannot guess.”
Ye Qing Xin kisses his cheek: “what about now?”
Jing Bo Yuan is silence.
Ye Qing Xin then kisses his lips.
They both kiss for a while. Ye Qing Xin hugs his neck.
Auntie Zhang looks at this moment and feels shy. She didn’t expect that her serious boss can act this way. She goes to the kitchen quickly and waits till both of them leave then she dares to go out.
The white car arrives at B university entrance gate at seven o’clock.
The road is clear of snow now, but it’s still a bit wet. Ye Qing Xin kisses Jing Bo Yuan’s cheek and opens the door.
Jing Bo Yuan watches her figure disappears in front of him.
The time Ye Qing Xin arrives at the cla.s.sroom. There are lots of people in the cla.s.sroom. Dou Weir sees her and waves her hand at her.
“Did you read the newspaper today?”
Dou Weir asks her even before Ye Qing Xin sits down.
“No.”
“Look at this. Your big boss Jing is really rich, he donates one hundred million.”
Dou Weir rolls one of her paper and puts it near her lips. She asks seriously: “Excuse me rich lady, do you have anything to say?”
Ye Qing Xin just looks at her and ignores her. She takes off her scarf.
The cla.s.s is warm. Dou Weir looks at her necklaces and cannot help but to roll her eyes. Every time she sees Ye Qing Xin’s necklace “Wo s.h.i.+ Jing Tai Tai (I am Mrs Jing), she always does it.
After the cla.s.s ends.
Dou Weir and Ye Qing Xin go together to the restroom. On the way, they hear two women are gossiping about something.
“I heard one of our school campus belle is close with a tyc.o.o.n. Everyday he will pick her up. I don’t know whether it’s true or not. But I look that she is not that kind of person.”
“Believe it. That day I saw her with a man. They were hugging, they showed no shame. That man looked rich, he drove a Land Rover, but nothing much. He shouldn’t be tyc.o.o.n.”
“Anyway I heard that Ye campus belle is close to a really rich tyc.o.o.n.”
“He should only like her beauty…”
Dou Weir wants to argue. But Ye Qing Xin stops her, she shakes her head.
The women notice Ye Qing Xin. Their faces turn awkward. Ye Qing Xin just smiles brightly at them. They both feel guilty and just leave.
“I think they are jealous of you.” Dou Weir is furious: “They haven’t tasted the grape, and they just say the grape is sour. If a rich man pursues them, I guarantee they will not act that highly. Pooh! Hypocrite!”
“No need to mind them. Their words will not affect me. Don’t be angry.” Ye Qing Xin smiles and looks fine.
She uses to hear even harsher words.
Dou Weir looks okay today. She seems to be unaffected by He Ji Fan. As for Jing Suo Suo, she looks defeated and depressed.
Ye Qing Xin asks her what happened, but she doesn’t want to share. Ye Qing Xin notices tears on her eyes.
In the afternoon at one o’clock. Ye Qing Xin gets a call from the host of the compet.i.tion. They inform her that she wins second place for the semi-final and the final will be in two weeks.
Before the cla.s.s starts again, Ye Qing Xin goes to the library and uses the internet to see the winner list. She is in the second place, the first place is an American designer. Gu Qiao is at the third place.
At night after she is done.
She notices a black car stops near the gate.
She hasn’t gotten close and the door is just opened. Ye Qing Guo just opens the door and runs toward her.
When he is about to b.u.mp to her body, he is collar is pulled back.
Jing Bo Yuan stops him and let him stands up still. He says to him: “Before I told you something, do you forget it?”
Ye Qing Guo pouts and stands up. He feels wronged: “I remember, Jie Fu said that Jie Jie has little babies inside her. Xiao Guo should be careful, Xiao Guo shouldn’t be rash, shouldn’t be careless. If Xiao Guo b.u.mps Jie Jie’s baby, Xiao Guo will be punished, Xiao Guo cannot eat chocolate for a year.”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at Ye Qing Guo calmly.
Ye Qing Guo raises up his head and looks at him. He says nervously: “Two, two years?”
Jing Bo Yuan says nothing.
Ye Qing Guo says with sobs: “Jie Fu says that if Xiao Guo b.u.mps Jie Jie’s babies inside the belly, in the future Xiao Guo cannot eat chocolate anymore.”
He turns his eyes to look at Ye Qing Xin to ask for help: “Jie Jie …..”
Ye Qing Xin just remembers that today will be Ye Qing Guo’s birthday. She wrote it down last night to remind herself, but she still forgot about it.
She ignores the miserable Ye Qing Guo and asks Jing Bo Yuan: “You saw my notes?”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny, he hugs her and guides her to the car: “Today is Xiao Guo’s birthday, shouldn’t you as his sister gives him present?”
“Xiao Guo, what do you want?” She turns her head and looks at Ye Qing Guo.
Ye Qing Guo smiles brightly: “Xiao Guo wants chocolate, a lots of chocolate.”
Ye Qing Xin accompanies Ye Qing Guo to sit down on the backseat. The car starts to move.
There’re two men look at the leaving car: “So it’s true. That man looks like he is on his thirty? He is big boss. My dream woman, unexpectedly is that kind of woman.”
“Okay, don’t watch her again. Your G.o.ddess is a loser.”
“Ay, I’m so sad.”
