Chapter 62

The sky is bright, the moon is round and beautiful.

Chen Shu An straightens his hands. His hands are gripping a bouquet of red blooming rose. It’s so beautiful.

“Xin Xin, I love you. Be my girlfriend, okay? I hope in everyday of my life, there’ll be you. No matter how many burden you have, I’m willing to carry it together with you.”

Chen Shu An says it very passionately.

Probably every confession will sound that way, comes sincerely from the bottom of the heart of someone. But the years will whittle away that the feeling to practically nothing left.

Ye Qing Xin looks at him, her gaze is abnormally tranquil.

“Are you saying this from your position as a friend or savior?”

Chen Shu An is startled for a while and stakes all on one throw. He says: “If I use my position as your savior to beg you to be my girlfriend, will you have heart to refuse me?”

Ye Qing Xin is honest: “I will.”

Chen Shu An’s face pales up.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t stop and says: “You sacrifice yourself to help me, I’m very thankful for it. But I don’t lvoe you, toward your sincere heart, I can only.....” the last word of “disappoint”, she hasn’t said it because her phone rings.

It’s very urgent.

She stops and takes out her phone from her bag to look at it. It’s Professor Wu.

Professor Wu was the one that asked her to take part in her study.

He should have urgent matter to call her this late.

Ye Qing Xin answers it.

Professor Wu says that there is a bit of problem with her conclusion of the report. He asks her to go back.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Professor Wu is the most famous killer professor of B university. He couldn’t admit any mistake that students make.

“I’m sorry. Professor Wu is looking for me because there’s a bit of problem. I should go back to the university to meet him.” Ye Qing Xin says.

Chen Shu An’s eyes are full of disappointment. The bouquet of roses falls down.

“Xin Xin, though I once again force you to be my girlfriend because I saved you, even I just try, you will not willing to do it?”

Ye Qing Xin purses her lips, she notices his pain, but she refuses without any slightest doubt: “I’m sorry, Chen Shu An. I am not willing.”

She thinks that for a matter of feeling, especially one’s own wishful thinking, the more one immerses in it, at last one will only feel the heartbreak.

It’s better to make decisive action in a complex situation.

She says it and turns her body to leave. When she just takes two steps, she suddenly turns her body and says seriously: “You saved me, I’m really thankful to it. Chen Shu Ain, if one day you have trouble and need my help, please ask for my help quickly. I’ll come to help you. Auntie Chen takes a really good care of you so in the future I’ll not visit you anymore. I hope you get well really soon. Goodbye.”

It’s the only thing Ye Qing Xin could do for him.

Without meeting each other for a long time, he will slowly forget about this feeling.

Chen Shu An is disappointed. He feels the pain in his whole body.

After a while, his eyes get teary: “Xin Xin, why are you, need to be that rational? Why you don’t be like other woman.... the one that more emotional....”

Ye Qing Xin rushes over to Professor Wu’s office. Professor Wu just passes her submission back to her.

“Page three, look at it by yourselves. How can you make this low level mistake?”

Ye Qing Xin looks at it and passes it back: “Professor Wu, this is not from our group......”

Professor Wu’s expression isn’t changed. He takes it back and pushes his glasses. He says calmly: “O, you should see it wrongly. It’s okay. Now you can go back.”

Ye Qing Xin: “.......”

“Goodbye Professor Wu.” She bids her goodbye and before she goes out of the room, Professor Wu says: “Every family will have their own problems so it’s need a communication to solve it and not just running away from it okay? A head of household will have his own consideration, you’re twenty years old girl, you are not a kid anymore. You need to think from another perspectives to understand. Don’t just run away or disappear, your family will be worried.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled, she is completely confused.

What is Professor Wu talking about?

She points at herself: “Professor Wu, are ....... you talking to me?”

Professor Wu blames her with his gaze: “Okay, just call back to your family, they should be worried. You can go now.”

Ye Qing Xin: “.....”

What did happen to Professor Wu?

How can she not understand it? If it’s not only her in the room, she will think that he is talking to another people.

She thinks about it and just laughs. Maybe he is just too old and remember wrongly?

She doesn’t know about it and leaves.

Professor Wu just takes his phone and dials a number.

“Hello, A Yuan. I’ve helped to call your cousin back to the school. No need to worry. She is okay. I just scolded her too. Later on she will give you guys a call..... it’s okay, okay. It’s my pleasure to help you even I’m just an old man! Haha...... a young kid always has a rebellious state of mind, especially someone in Student Ye’s age. You need to be more patience.... O, okay, okay, okay, you can do your own thing.....”

Jing Bo Yuan hangs up an once again comes back to the dining table. The time the business dinner finishes it’s almost ten o’clock.

He gets in the car and closes his eyes. He massages his temple. He feels a bit tired.

“Mr Jing, are we going back to Nan Shan mansion?” Driver Lu asks.

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything.

Driver Lu just drives back to Nan Shan mansion.

After thirty minutes, Jing Bo Yuan gets off the car.

He goes to his bedroom. He takes off his coat and hangs it up. He unties tie and folds it neatly.

Then he undid his buttons and goes to the restroom. He takes a simple shower and comes out from the bathroom with a deep blue bathrobe. He takes his cigarette and lighter on the coffee table. He pushes open the glass door to the balcony. He smokes and leans on the rail fence.

He looks like he has some worries.

After a while.

He just goes back to the room and takes his phone. He reviews the message from Cheng Ru Yu.

Then he dials a number.

On the other side.

Ye Qing Xin is having a shower. Her phone is outside.

Dou Weir is wearing a light blue face mask. She notices Ye Qing Xin’s phone is ringing. She takes it with her closed eyes and brings it to the front of bathroom door. “Xin Xin, your phone is ringing.”

Ye Qing Xin opens the door and takes it.

She looks at the screen and is startled. She looks at Dou Weir, but Dou Weir doesn’t realize it and just goes back to her bed like a blind person.

It’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.

She closes the door and answers.

“Hello, Chief Jing.”

Her voice sounds slightly happy. There’s a silence. It’s a bit long that Ye Qing Xin thinks that maybe he dialed her number by mistake.

“Tomorrow night there’s a business banquet, I need a female companion. Are you free?”

Jing Bo Yuan finally speaks out.

Ye Qing Xin is startled.

Her heart beats so fast.

“Me? I don’t think I’m compatible enough?”

“You are afraid that your boyfriend will misunderstand?” Jing Bo Yuan asks while he is sitting on the sofa.

“No, I don’t mean it.” Ye Qing Xin explains instinctively. She even hasn’t thought about it, “I don’t have any boyfriend.”

She says it and startled. She doesn’t even know why should she explain it to him.....

“He.....” Jing Bo Yuan laughs slightly: “That you are compatible.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t know whether she’s having an illusion or not, she feels that suddenly Jing Bo Yuan turns very happily because his voice suddenly changes to be relaxed and brightly.
