Downstairs.
Inside the living room. Old Madame Jing and Old Mister Jing are sitting down on the sofa. There’re also Ji Yi, Jing Xian Xian and Ye Qing Guo. The other people are either going out or still sleeping.
Old Madame Jing stands up and asks everyone to enjoy breakfast together.
“Where are Pa, Er Shu (Jing Yi), San Shu (Jing Yan), Gu Gu (Jing Si), Gu Fu (Ye Jun Dong)?” Ye Qing Xin asks.
“They both are going out.” Old Madame Jing holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and goes to the dining room.
After the breakfast, Ye Qing Xin returns to the room and opens up her laptop. She sits down on Jing Bo Yuan’s table, the one that he used when he was young.
Ye QIng Guo stays downstair and watches TV with Old Madame Jing. When Ye Lin wakes up, he follows Ye Lin to play together.
In the afternoon, Old Madame Yan comes over to Jing family residence. She asks about Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan’s wedding. Ye Qing Xin has looked at the planning but she doesn’t remember the detail. Jing Bo Yuan said to her that there will be someone that reminds her about it so she doesn’t need to worry.
Old Madame Yan asks Ye Qing Xin about her dowry. Ye Qing Xin has no parents to prepare those things. She and Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t care about the tradition so much. Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t want her to worry about it.
Besides, parents give a daughter dowry. First is for to let the daughter lives better, to subsidize the family expense. Two, for win over a position for daughter in male’s family. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t need it.
That day Ye Jun Dong gave her card for her dowry. Ye Qing Xin said that she will prepare it by herself. But it’s just an excuse.
Old Madame Yan hears Ye Qing Xin’s word and sighs.
She thinks that tradition is important.
Jing Bo Yuan comes home around 08:00 p.m.
The time he enters the house, he hears Old Madame Jing’s laughter from the living room.
He is happy that his grandma is happy. He smiles and walks toward the living room.
In the living room. Ye Qing Xin is chatting with Old Madame jIng. Ye Qing Guo is also there but he is watching Ultraman.
Jing Si and family go home this afternoon. The others are not at home.
Old Madame Jing notices Jing Bo Yuan and says: “A Yuan, you are home.”
Ye Qing Xin stands up and comes over him. She takes his scarf and coat, like a caring wife.
Old Madame Jing is happy to see both of them. She feels that they are compatible with one another.
Ye Qing Xin smells alcohol and cigarette scent on him.
“You haven’t eaten your dinner?” Ye Qing Xin asks.
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny.
Old Madame Jing immediately asks the maid to prepare Jing Bo Yuan’s food.
“Boil a bowl of soup to neutralize the effect of alcohol.” Ye Qing Xin adds.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at his watch and says: “It’s late. Nai Nai, go to sleep.” Then he looks at the nurse that takes care of Old Madame Jing.
The nurse notices it and immediately holds Old Madame Jing’s arm.
Jing Bo Yuan sits down on the sofa and pulls Ye Qing Xin to sit on his thigh. He says: “Tomorrow afternoon we goo home.”
“Let’s go home in two more days.” Ye Qing Xin lays on Jing Bo Yuan’s embrace and plays with his fingers. She says: “Let’s accompany Nai Nai and Ye Ye two more days. Anyway I have nothing to do. You are not home too. I’ll be bored in the mansion. Here I can accompany Nai Nai to chat.”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her face and says “Okay.”
How can he not know that she wants to accompany the elders.
They both stay to more days there. In Thursday after the lunch, they return back to Nan Shan mansion .
Jing Bo Yuan are busy so he just sends Ye Qing Xin and Ye Qing Guo back to Nan Shan mansion and leaves.
03:15 p.m. Dou Weir calls her. She has returned back to Jing City. For being Ye Qing Xin’s bridesmaid, she temporarily has no place to live. She asks whether she can come to Nan Shan mansion to stay for a while.
Ye Qing Xin agrees.
At 04:00 p.m. Dou Weir takes her suitcase and appears at Nan Shan mansion front door.
She is wearing a thin coat and tall boots. The weather is a bit cold.
Auntie Zhang opens the door for her and pa.s.ses her a gla.s.s of hot water. Dou Weir drinks it and feels warm.
“Jing City is too cold. When I wore these back home, I was okay. But here it’s not enough.” Dou Weir says with shiver.
“Why aren’t you staying at your apartment?” Dou Weir used to stay at her apartment if not at the dorm.
Ye Qing Xin is just curious whether it is related with He Ji Fan.
“That apartment, how can it be compared with this mansion. I also miss you, I want to be close with you. Why? You don’t welcome me?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “You know that I don’t mean that way.”
Dou Weir snorts: “You have conscience. For being your bridesmaid I leave my warm hometown early.”
This time Ye Qing Guo comes out from the room. He is playing with a book that Ye Qing Xin bought for him. He is startled to see a stranger inside the living room.
Dou Weir turns her head and looks that handsome bnoy.
She never meets Ye Qing Guo. Last time Zhou Qiao Qiao’s death, Dou Weir went to T city but that day a lot of things happened but she never met Ye Qing Guo.
“He is….” She looks at Ye Qing Gu.
“Xin Xin, you are too bold. You unexpectedly have a handsome boy in this house.”
“….” Ye Qing Xin pokes Dou Weir’s head. “What nonsense are you talking about. He is my Di Di.” She says. Then she calls Ye Qing Guo over: “Xiao Guo, come here. Greet Weir Jie Jie.”
Ye Qing Guo obeys and jumps over. He bows down seriously and says: “Weir Jie Jie, Hi.”
His action, expression and tone, are not like nineteen years old kid.
Dou Weir is staring at him.
She cannot believe that a handsome and tall kid like this, unexpectedly….
Ye Qing Guo doesn’t understand Dou Weir’s strange gaze. He just says to ye Qing Xin: “Jie Jie, I finished this. Look at it, is right?”
Ye Qing Xin takes it and asks him to sit down.
“Xiao Guo’s writing is great. You need to make a persistent effort okay.”
Ye Qing Guo asks: “Jie Jie, what is ‘make a persistent effort’?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and explains: “It means that Xiao Guo needs to keep on writing a page a day. You cannot not write.”
“Okay.” Ye Qing Guo says: “Okay I know. I will write everyday. Jie Jie, can I eat chocolate? Today I haven’t eaten my two cubes of chocolate.”
Ye Qing Xin strokes his head: “Take it by yourself.”
Ye Qing Guo claps his hand and runs over the kitchen.
Dou Weir just regains herself. She asks Ye Qing Xin: “That is your Di Di? I thought….”
Ye Qing Xin continues her words: “You thought that low intelligence kid will look like a short and fat people?”
She smiles and answers: “Not everyone of them. Xiao Guo used to be fat and ugly. But slowly he turns handsome and skinny.”
Dou Weir sighs: “It’s too pity. With his appearance, he will be great at entertainment world.’
