Chapter 281

Being exposed in the public eyes, it might lead the public to be overcritical toward him. It will not only result in good thing but also bad thing.

Ye Qing Guo might not understand clearly the meaning of people’s words but he can feel whether it is kind or not.

In this society, not everyone will think good thing of him.

Ye Qing Xin puts down the newspaper and smiles toward Old Madame Jing. She says: “Xiao Guo is chosen to join the drama. I just want him to experience it. To know several different people. I don’t expect him to be able to perform really well.”

Indeed for her too, Ye Qing Guo are performing really well from what she saw last time.

“Let’s have a breakfast. Later on Xin Xin needs to go to the class.” Old Madame Sheng takes off her glasses and puts down her newspaper. She comes over and holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand to take her to the dining room.

After the breakfast, Jing Bo Yuan brings Ye Qing Xin’s backpack and holds her hand to go out.

Old Madame Sheng remembers something important. She chases after them and says to Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, this Saturday is 18, that day is the day we chose for celebrating you coming back to Sheng family. Do you still remember it.”

Ye Qing Xin nods: “I still remember it.”

Old Madame Sheng: “Great, I am afraid that you forget about it. This Saturday don’t arrange anything. That time you need to come home with Nai Nai.”

Ye Qing Xin: “okay.”

On the way to the school. Ye Qing Xin sits down on the front passenger seat. She takes her phone to call Ye Qing Guo.

It is answered.

Ye Qing Guo: “Jie Jie!”

He seems to be happy to get a call from Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin is surprised: “You have something that makes you happy?”

Ye Qing Guo says happily: “Yes, Jie Jie. Huang Shu Shu (Huang He Lou) bought me a lot of chocolates. Jie Jie, when will you come to visit me? Xiao Guo has a lot of chocolates, I want to share half with you.”

Ye Qing Xin pretends to be angry: “Xiao Guo, do you eat a lot of chocolates?”

“No No.” Ye Qing Guo denies quickly: “Xiao Guo doesn’t eat a lot. I just eat two chunks everyday.”

“Xiao Guo is very good.” Ye Qing Xin praises him. Then she says: “Did Huang Shu Shu tell you about being brand ambassador? Do you agree to do it?”

“Brand ambassador?” Ye Qing Guo asks back, it’s clear that he doesn’t know about it. Indeed he asks again: “What is it?”

Ye Qing Xin falls silent for a while and says: “It’s nothing. Xiao Guo, you should take a good care of yourself. If you have a problem, call me immediately, okay?”

“Okay, Jie Jie.”

She ends the call and looks for Huang He Lou’s contact number. She calls him.

Huang He Lou seems to be busy, he sounds rushed.

“Jing Tai Tai, what instruction do you have for me?” Huang He Lou asks her with full of respect.

Since her status has changed, she has heard a lot of polite remark.

She says to the point directly: “I read the newspaper today. Regarding Xiao Guo’s matter, I want to hear your explanation.”

“You mean about the brand ambassador matter?”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t deny.

Huang He Lou explains: “This is just our initial intention, we haven’t planned it in detail. We are waiting until the performance tour is done. I will lead the meeting, of course before the meeting is held I will call you first.”

Huang He Lou is an expert talker. With his few words, he can dismiss Ye Qing Xin’s doubts. He doesn’t deny what is written in the newspaper but at the same he doesn’t say that he makes a decision without authorization from Ye Qing Xin.

He doesn’t wait for Ye Qing Xin’s reply, he keeps on talking: “Ye Qing Guo’s performance is very appealing. His appearance can change society’s perception about retarded people. After last performance, in two days, we get a lot of donations.”

“‘De Bie Ai Wo Jia Zu (Loving my special community) foundation has been established for eight years. They have helped more than ten thousand people. But because of the limited fund, we are unable to help more. Now Xiao Guo can helps us to collect more donation for greater good. This is a charitable deed, I feel you shouldn’t oppose it.”

Ye Qing Xin closes her eyes and considers. Then she says: “Xiao Guo is just a kid. I hope that he can live a simple and healthy life forever. I don’t want him to be pressured. I will consider your words but before that I don’t hope to see that you use him as brand ambassador. I even don’t hope that you will exploit him to collect donation.”

Her last two sentences are warnings for Huang He Lou.

Huang He Lou didn’t expect that Ye Qing Xin’s opposition would be so resolute. He persuades: “Letting Ye Qing Guo to be brand ambassador, of course we will not let him do it for free. If he can a lot of attentions, Jing Tai Tai, you will also be benefited from it.”

He tries to lure her by promise of gain.

Ye Qing Xin says calmly: “Huang Xian Sheng, I respect Xiao Guo. At first he wanted to perform, I didn’t stop her. I also respect you and trust you so I hand over Xiao Guo to be under your car. I hope you will not disappoint me. I still have matter to do, I will not chat anymore with you. For the future, I hope you can discuss me with me first before taking any decision.

She ends the call. She looks at the scenery outside the car.

This matter has progressed beyond her anticipation.

She doesn’t know whether it is a good or bad thing. At first she just wanted him to gain experience, to be able to engage with other people.

Jing Bo Yuan notices that she is in deep thought. He holds her hands.

“Xin Xin, you should maintain your mood.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at him.

“For Xiao Guo matter, you should let it be. For him, maybe it’s not a bad thing.” Jing Bo Yuan says calmly.

Ye Qing Xin frowns: “Do you think letting him to use his current condition to be in public eyes is a good thing?”

“His current condition?” Jing Bo Yuan asks.

“He looks handsome yet he has insufficiency of mental development. This contrast will make him get a lot of attentions. Many will criticize him harshly. I can endure it.”

She imagines Ye Qing Guo is standing on the stage. People in the audience stage are laughing, humiliating him, or pitying him, sympathizing him. But he doesn’t know about it. All along he keeps on laughing naively. She cannot bear it.

“Xin Xin, you keep on forgetting. You wish that he will get a normal life. But you are unwilling him to face the unfairness in the society. Then you should just take him home and protect him. Find someone to take care of him and stop wishing him to have a normal life.”

Jing Bo Yuan’s words are harsh and serious.

She is startled. She looks at her and doesn’t respond for a while.

In the society, there is no ‘smooth-sailing’ life.

A normal person will experience bumpy road.

That morning, Ye Qing Xin becomes unfocused during the class.

In the mid-afternoon after the class on the way to the dining hall, Dou Weir holds Ye Qing Xin’s arm and asks: “What happened to you? Do you have something on your mind? You were unfocused during the calls. Wu Jiao Shou (Professor Wu) was looking at you for several time. I was afraid that he would throw his book over, and fight with your Big Boss Jing?’

Ye Qing Xin shakes her head.

“Why are you shaking your head. Tell me if you have something on your mind, Jie Jie will help you analyze it.”

Ye Qing Xin is silent.

Now it’s 11 a.m. A lot of students are going to the dining hall. Dou Weir holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and shuttles back and forth in crowd of people. Jing Suo Suo and Qian Rong walks behind.

“Let me guess, is it because Big boss Jing has a lot of pursuers, that you feel stress? You cannot catch all the houseflies?”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Dou Weir and says: “Houseflies cannot sting a seamless egg.”

Jing Bo Yuan is a seamless egg.

“Ahyoo!” Dou Weir smiles: “You really have confidence in him?”

Thinking about Jing Bo Yuan makes Ye Qing Xin smiles. She shows her happy expression.

“Of course.” She looks determined and proud.

Being with Jing Bo Yuan for so long, except Yu Qing You, Gu Qiao, Xiao Lian, Ye Qing Xin doesn’t notice any other woman beside him.

Jing Bo Yuan didn’t even give them a chance to get close to him.

This makes her believes him.

Dou Weir looks at Ye Qing Xin’s happy expression, she is somewhat jealous. She is happy for her.

She says bitterly: “You are too beautiful.”

Ye Qing Xin laughs.

After a silence, Dou Weir seems to remember something. “If it’s not because Big Boss Jing, that you are thinking about your handsome little brother? Is it because he turns popular so you are worried about him? You are worried that she is bullied?”

Ye Qing Xin is startled.

“You have read the newspaper today?”

Dou Weir is startled: “What newspaper?”

Ye Qing Xin: “...... you don’t read the newspaper today? How can you know that he becomes popular?”

Dou Weir is surprised, she says: “Ha, you are his sister, how can you not know about this? I don’t know what newspaper you mean but I see it online, have you read it?”

Dou Weir takes out her phone and opens We Chat.

“Nah, this one. This is Mu Chun Liu Xu (user ID) blogger, she posted the photo of your handsome brother. She wrote that “The most handsome insufficient mental development brother”. Yesterday she posted and she has gotten more than hundred thousand like. It has reposted fifty thousand. Look at the comments. It’s complimenting his handsomeness and also sympathizing his disability.”

“Last night I took the train to go back to the university. I noticed two young girls are slobbering while looking at the phone. They were discussing about your Di Di. That time I wanted to call you but I had some matters to do so I forgot about it.”

“But for real, your Di Di’s charm cannot be looked down.”

Dou Weir keeps on chattering, Ye Qing Xin doesn’t listen to her.

Her attention is fixed on the screen.

“What happened to your face? This is a good thing, how can you are not happy for him?”

Ye Qing Xin keeps on walking. “I really don’t know. I always feel afraid that he will attract a lot of attentions. I am afraid that it will be harmful for him.”

‘Ahya, I think you are overthinking it. What is so bad about it? Look at the famous celebrities, what is so bad about it? They can live happily.”

“Xiao Guo is not like them. This society has danger thing. I don’t want him to be criticized...” Ye Qing Xin speaks out her true feeling.

“Hey! You usually act smart, how can you be like this.” Dou Weir continues: “You are afraid because someone might says bad things to her?”

“Look at the famous celebrities, which one has never gotten any bad things? No one will only be loved. But you should also see there’re lots of people love him....”

Ye Qing Xin: “....”

She feels like everyone around her feels that she is hindering Ye Qing Guo to progress. Ye Qing Xin feels so complicated.

She suddenly remembers that in the past she has read a manga. The parents are afraid that the kid will be hurt, so they cut their kid’s wing to let him unable to fly forever. So forever he will not be hurt.

Ye Qing Xin feels that currently she is like those parents.

But she feels she really cannot let him go completely, at least for now.

Ye Qing Xin is thinking but suddenly her phone rings.

She answers it. “Xin Xin.”

Ye Qing Xin hears the familiar sound. Her worries suddenly calm down. She smiles.

Jing Bo Yuan’s call is not really important. They just talk and end the call.

He cares about her, and she feels it.

“Enough, why should every day I look at your guys happy relationship? Do you want to make me jealous?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and just puts her phone back inside.

This time.

“What is it? Why are you hiding it?” Qian Rong’s voice is behind them. She continues: “Give me a look.”

“Ah! Give it back to me!” Jing Suo Suo yells. She sounds like her secret will be out.

Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir turn their head to watch them. Indeed QIao Rong is raising her arm high. She is holding a book. She flips it open: “I have seen that you hide it every day. I just want to take a look.”

Jing Suo Suo’s chubby cheeks turn red. She is angry.

“Give it back to me! I’ll be angry!”

She says it and wants to snatch it back. Indeed. “Pak!” The book falls down near Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir’s legs. It is opened.

It shows an impressive sketch.

Ye QIng Xin is a bit surprised. It portrays a man.

Em, a man that she knows quite familiar.

Jing Suo Suo is angry that she glares at Qiang Rong. She picks the book up and says coldly: “Now you had a look, are you satisfied?”

Jing Suo Suo just leaves after that.

Qian Rong is surprised, her face turns awkward. Then after a while, she immediately chases after Jing Suo Suo, “Suo Suo...”

“Xin Xin, that man on Suo Suo’s notebook looks very familiar. Isn’t it one of the best man for your wedding? The one that hated the mustard?”

Dou Weir asks.

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “That’s right>”

So it turns out that the man that Jing Suo Suo said last year that she likes is Cheng Ru Yu.

She also remembers that the time Jing Bo Yuan chatted with Cheng Ru Yu about arranging blind date for him . Cheng Ru Yu said that “Jing family has two other unmarried one”.

Ye Qing Xin smiles.

It is interesting.

05:00 p.m. the class ends.

Jing Bo Yuan comes over to pick her up.

Ye Qing Xin walks to the front gate and looks at the black car. She realizes that recently he comes to pick her up everyday. As for Bo Wei’s boss, he was so busy, he used to go on business trip. He even didn’t have meals for work. Recently she notices that he has changed. He will spare time to pick her up and accompany her to have a meal or sleep.

“You are picking me up everyday, isn’t it delaying your work?”

Jing Bo Yuan opens the door for her.

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her head and says: “Is it bad to pick you up?”

“No, I don’t mean it that way.” Ye Qing Xin holds his hand and says: “I just don’t want to disturb your work. You always be so busy.....”

“Don’t worry. Our company doesn’t employ idlers.”

He let her get on the car and closes the door.

The car starts to move and stops in front of the restaurant. Ye Qing Xin wants to unbuckle her seatbelt but she has an idea. She looks at Jing Bo Yuan with her innocent eyes and says lightly: “I cannot unbuckle it.”

Jing Bo Yuan unbuckles his own seatbelt and looks at her with doubt. He comes closer to unbuckle her seatbelt.

Both of their bodies touch each other. Ye Qing Xin can feel his hot breath.

Jing Bo Yuan holds the buckle and wants to press it. But suddenly a pair of soft hands hug his neck.

He pauses. Ye Qing Xin sucks his ear, her tongue slips to his side face. Then she kisses his lips.

She hasn’t progressed to a next step. In a next moment, her initiative turns to be passive action.
