after song fengwan finished her draft, she rushed to the office. the mid-autumn festival was approaching and there was a fashion show in the company. all the departments were very busy.
she had just finished discussing the details of the design plan with several assistants when she saw an unread message from xu yuanfei on her phone. â
[ the mooncakes you ordered are ready. come and pick out the packaging when youâre free. ]
[ okay, iâll be free in about two hours. ]
the mid-autumn festival was approaching, and the mooncake had been contracted to xu yuanfeiâs shop. she had opened many branches in recent years, and her shop was large. she had taken on many orders from the company, so she had been leaving early and returning late. she had not been home at all.
song fengwan had also ordered some special mooncakes for her family and friends.
in the end, she had a meeting at the last minute at the appointed time, so she asked xu yufei to make the decision to pack her up and get someone to pick it up from the jing family.
xu xinfeiâs shop was extremely busy. the chefs had to work overtime to make mooncakes. in the end, even the jing family had to work for her. jing hanchuan couldnât help much because he loved his wife, but it was good to be with her.
as a result, jing xingyao often stayed at home alone.
*
it was the weekend, and jing xingyao was tired from work. she wanted to help out in the store, but xu yuanfei refused.
â rest well at home today. your third aunt will send someone to collect the mooncakes later. the black and red boxes all belong to her family. remember them well and donât make any mistakes. â xu yuanfei said.
âalright,â he said.
jing xingyao didnât have much to do, so he took jing hanchuanâs camera and fiddled with it, thinking about going to jing university to get some experience.
she had thought that song fengwan would come in person, or perhaps qianjiang or shifang, but instead, it was fu qinyuan and his assistant, ji.
it was little jiâs first time visiting the jing family, so he was very nervous.
as soon as he entered chuanbei, he said excitedly, â âai, was sixth masterâs house really a mass grave in the past? will there be ghosts at night?â
â i heard that he killed people like flies. is that true? â
âhow did he and third master become confidants?â
when he got together with fu qinyuan, the jing family had already left the country. he was only fu qinyuanâs assistant and had little contact with his private life.
fu qinyuan glanced at him. â since youâre so curious about the jing family, you can stay in his house and observe them. â
little ji was so scared that he didnât make a sound.
when she entered the house and saw jing xingyao, she was so scared that she couldnât speak for half the night. wasnât this the person who had called her third master when she went to the airport to pick him up and had a very gentle voice?
âthe mooncakes are all here?â jing xingyao saw him coming over and their eyes met, feeling a little shy.
â little ji, take the things in the car and send them to my house. i still have something to do, so iâll be back later. â
little ji sized up the two of them. as an assistant, he should talk less and do more. even if he knew some shocking secret, he had to keep his mouth shut.
he grabbed the mooncake and quickly fled.
fu qinyuan saw that she was dressed neatly and there was a camera on the table. â youâre going out? â
âyes, i want to go to beijing university to take some photos.â
âiâll send you.â
*
she nodded, and the two of them arrived at the school. she looked for a place to take photos, and he followed behind her, carrying things. occasionally, jing xingyao would ask him to help her take a few photos.
â itâs boring to watch people take photos. if you have something to do, you can leave first. i can go back by myself. â
âthe most important thing for me right now is to accompany you.â fu qinyuan looked at her with a smile. â i was just going to visit you at your house. i didnât expect to be able to accompany you out ... â
âif i round it up, then weâre on a date.â
jing xingyao raised his camera, his ears hot and soft. he didnât say anything and simply pressed the shutter a few times.
it was important to grasp the angle of the photo. she often found places that no one usually went to, but she had completely forgotten that she easily attracted mosquitoes.
fu qin had been standing under a tree a few meters away when he heard her groan and hold her neck, as if she was scratching at something.
when he rushed over, she had already scratched the back of her neck and it was mixed with a few scarlet nail marks. against her white skin, it was a little shocking.
âwhatâs going on?â fu qinyuan raised his hand to stop her from scratching.
â he might have been stung by an insect. whatâs the situation after that? â jing xingyao could not see it at all.
âdonât scratch me. iâll take you to the infirmary.â fu qinyuan hung her camera around his neck. he had been pulling her along, but he felt that it was too slow, so he ran to the infirmary with it.
she had inherited xu yuanfeiâs allergic constitution. the back of her neck was red, but now her face was burning red.
it was the weekend, and there was only one middle-aged female doctor on duty in the infirmary. she checked her and said that she might have been stung by some chili or other insects.
âdo you want to go to the hospital?â
she had an allergic constitution, and if it was serious, it could be life-threatening.
â iâll put her on an iv drip and apply some ointment on her. weâll observe her first. if there are any other symptoms, weâll go to the hospital. â
jing xingyao didnât expect that taking a photo would cause such misfortune.
the doctor took out the ointment and handed it to fu qinyuan. â your boyfriend, right? help her apply it. apply it on the back of her neck first, itâs more serious there. â
jing xingyao was sitting on the bed at the moment. after the doctor left, he even thoughtfully pulled up the curtain by the bed. the red and swollen area on her back was a little big, maybe ...
he needed to take off his clothes.
âiâll do it myself,â jing xingyaoâs face was red, either because of an allergic reaction or because of shyness.
fu qinyuan ignored her and went behind her. â yao yao. â
âwhat?â
âiâm going to start.â
jing xingyao nodded.
she felt that her collar had been rolled down a little. however, the clothes she was wearing today were of the shirt style. the front buttons were not unbuttoned, so it was difficult to operate the back.
she hesitated, then unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt. fu qinyuan pulled his shirt down an inch. â thereâs still not enough space. â
jing xingyao had no choice but to unbutton his shirt again, slightly shielding his front ...
the air conditioner in the infirmary was on, and she could vaguely hear the sound of the doctor preparing the water. she sat up straight and felt his fingers sliding across the back of her neck, pushing her hair to the front.
the skin here was thin, slender, and fragile, which made people nervous.
âwhatâs wrong? does it hurt or itch?â
fu qinyuan was not in the mood for such dirty thoughts. her back was red, and he felt sorry for her.
âiâm fine.â
her body trembled slightly, and she resisted the urge to scratch ...
then, she felt a cool touch on her back. she thought it was fu qinyuan applying medicine for her, but then she realized it was not a cotton swab ...
he was kissing her.
âdistant crickets-â
âwhat?â her voice was hoarse.
âi can hear your heartbeat.â
â control yourself a little, or else youâll ... â
âyouâre making me easily distracted.â
jing xingyaoâs face turned even redder. he bit his lip and did not say anything.
then, fu qinyuan helped her apply the medicine. the medicine was not cool, and when it was applied to her skin, there was a brief burning sensation, followed by a heart-piercing cold, which was very comfortable.
soon, the doctor gave her an iv drip. her body was no longer itchy, but it would take some time for the redness and swelling to dissipate.
âhow do you feel? if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me in time.â the doctor repeatedly reminded him, â you must be careful of your body that is prone to allergies and insects. â
âthank you. i feel much better now.â
the doctor looked at fu qinyuan, who was still applying the medicine for her, and then at her back. â your boyfriend is very thoughtful. heâs very meticulous. if you feel itchy anywhere, let him apply some medicine for you. â
âapply the medicine and wear your clothes after itâs dry.â
âyes.â
fu qinyuan helped her with her back. â do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? â
âno,â
âif you feel itchy anywhere, remember to tell me.â he put down the medicine and blew on her back a few times, trying to make the medicine evaporate faster by drying it, but it made jing xingyao uncomfortable.
*
fu qinyuan saw that it was about time, so he got up and packed up the medicine bottles and cotton swabs. he went out to wash his hands, and when he came back, he saw jing xingyao buttoning up his clothes with one hand.
she had a medicine bottle hanging in her other hand, so it was not convenient for her to make any big movements.
âdo you need my help?â
âno, iâll do it myself!â
fu qinyuan did not force her. he sat down on the edge of the bed and watched her â single-handed buttoning â performance without blinking.
it was supposed to be a very normal and simple operation, but she was busy in the corner and couldnât buckle it.
fu qinyuan laughed.
âdo you even have the ability to take care of yourself?â
he moved forward and reached out to help her button up.
his actions were gentlemanly, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. he didnât have any intention of overstepping his boundaries. after buttoning up his shirt, he even helped her adjust her collar a little before he spoke in a low voice.
âif you canât take care of yourself ...â
âjust give yourself to me.â
