Though after being pregnant, Ye Qing Xin has a great appet.i.te and eats a lot. But after several adjustment, she just eats little food for so many times. She never eats too much.
Jing Bo Yuan always worries about her, he frequently calls her to remind her about it.
Sometimes when they are eating, he will also remind her directly.
Ye Qing Xin smiles, she knows that he cares about her. He concerns about her. She is happy.
“I know.” She says.
Jing Bo Yuan : “This afternoon I need to go to Tian Jin. I will be back tomorrow.”
Ye Qing Xin is startled.
This news is too sudden.
She feels somewhat down.
She is silent for a while and says: “Em, be careful and take care. I’ll wait for you at home.” She continues and asks: “Tomorrow what time you will be back?”
Jing Bo Yuan says calmly: “I will go home at night.”
Ye Qing Xin nods, she just remembers that Jing Bo Yuan cannot see that she is nodding. She speaks up “Em, I’ll wait for you at home.”
She doesn’t want to act like other women, who are acting like a spoiled and dependent kid.
She ends the call. Ye Qing Xin tidies up her books and follows Dou Weir and Jing Suo Suo out of the cla.s.sroom.
The sky is clear now.
Just like what Jing Bo Yuan predicted the dining hall’s floor is slippery. Ye Qing Xin hears a female scream when she enters the dining hall. That woman fell down.
Dou Weir and Jing Suo Suo holds Ye Qing Xin. Ye Qing Xin stands on the middle of them.
“Now Xin Xin is a national treasure. If she falls down, my Ge will take out brain. Before the cla.s.s ended, he sent me a message to let me be sure to carefully take care of his young wife. This is a big duty. I feel he puts a big pressure on me….”
Jing Suo Suo says again: “Last year I took a fancy on a limited edition real leather cushion, but I didn’t buy it. Xin Xin, tell me do you think my Ge will buy it for me?”
Ye Qing Xin: “You need to ask him.”
Jing Suo Suo pouts: “You just need to say it. If you say that you want to give it to me, my ge will not say no?”
“You mean that you want me to give it to you?”
“Of course not, I want my Ge to give it to me.”
“Then you should ask him.”
Jing Suo Suo “….., you guys are too over. You guys cannot be fool, you guys are not cute!”
Suddenly three of them hear a scream again.
This time it’s from a familiar voice. They both looks over. Ye Qing Xin is startled when she looks at the owner of the voice.
Dou Weir says surprisedly. “Is it Tai Shi Yun? She is falling too tragic.”
Tai Shi Yun falls down on the ground. She is wet and cannot get up.
She notices Ye Qing Xin’s gaze.
Very quickly Tai Shi Yun just shifts her gaze and tries to stand up by herself. She drags her leg to go out of the dining hall.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t think too much about it.
After the lunch, three of them return to the dorm. Qian Rong is there first than them, she is playing game.
Ye Qing Xin gargles her mouth and gets ready to have an afternoon nap. Someone knocks on the door.
“Get in.” Jing Suo Suo says.
The door is opened. When Dou Weir notices who is coming, she laughs and says: “I thought who is coming. Turns out it is our Tai Xiao Jie (Ms Tai). I don’t know why are you coming here?”
Tai Shi Yun’s face turns sour but she controls herself. She looks at Ye Qing Xin and says: “Xin Xin, I have something to speak to you. Can you come out for a while?”
Dou Weir immediately answers: “Go out? Who knows what are you playing? Just say it right here if you have something to say. Can it be a big secret?”
Tai Shi Yun looks at Dou Weir hostilely: “I am talking with Xin Xin, why are you keep on interrupting ?”
“Xin Xin is my friend. Considering that your misdeeds, of course I need to interrupt you. Tai Shi Yun, a proverb says it’s easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to change a person’s nature. There’s another one, I forget about it. Suo Suo, do you remember it?”
Jing Suo Suo says offhandedly: “A dog can’t stop himself from eating s.h.i.t (bad habits are hard to change).”
Dou Weir’s eyes turn bright and claps her hands: “Right! Just that one! Tai Shi Yun, if you have something to say, then just say it right here. If not just go back. Dream on if you want to lure Xin Xin out to play trick on her. Who knows that this time you will use microwave or rice cooker to hit her head.”
“You….” Tai Shi Yun bites her lips and looks at Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin?”
Ye Qing Xin tidies up her bed and says: “I’m sorry. I am a bit tired, I want to have a rest. Moreover I think there’s nothing else to say between us.”
Tai Shi Yun looks at Ye Qing Xin for a while and gets inside the room. She closes the door.
She walks several steps inside.
“Xin Xin, I apologize for my misdeeds toward you. I made things hard and attacked you. But my family used to help your family, you should know it well. If it’s not my Pa, you will not have a chance to get inside B university, you even will not have this kind of live.”
She is asking for sympathy but also demands the payment of the debt.
Dou Weir can hear it. She frowns and says coldly: “Tai Shi Yun, you are really shameless. Now what do you want with your trivial action? Are you lacking of money?”
Tai Shi Yun ignores her, she just continues “Last year you gave my father five million, it’s not enough to pay his debt. My pa has 10000000. A lot of debtors look for her. They even look for me, look at my arm.”
She rolls up her sleeve and shows scars on her arm. “Everyday I don’t dare to go out of the university gate. I am so scared someone will come to hit me. Xin Xin, please help us. You have that power.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at Tai Shi Yun’s scars.
Ye Qing Xin says nothing.
Dou Weir looks at Tai Shi Yun’s arm and cannot say anything else.
The dorm atmosphere turns silent.
Jing Suo Suo and Qian Rong also looks at Tai Shi Yun’s arm. It’s an hideous wound inflicted with a knife.
After a long time.
Ye Qing Xin looks at her and says calmly. “I get it. Go home.”
She doesn’t promise or deny Tai Shi Yun’s request.
Tai Shi Yun looks at Ye Qing Xin’s calm expression. She cannot make it her answer.
“Xin Xin…..”
“Go back.”
Tai Shi Yun: “……..”
Before she really leaves, she says: “Xin Xin, I’m sorry what I did.”
Dou Weir watches her close the door. Dou Weir looks at Ye Qing Xin. “That Tai Shi Yun is too miserable. But Xin Xin, it’s her own matter. Don’t forget what she did to you before. She didn’t even be soft-hearted when she hit you with the microwave.”
Ye Qing Xin regains herself and looks at Dou Weir. She says: “I know. I am just thinking that it’s better to be kind. What do you think?”
Ye Qing Xin looks at three people in the dorm. The time she watches Qian Rong, she pauses.
Before Dou Weir told her about her guess about who is the one that spread Ye Qing Xin’s pregnancy news. Ye Qing Xin also guess that it should be Qian Rong.
As for the reason, perhaps it is related with her unwillingness to help.
Qian Rong observes what happened though she looks like playing a game.
At night after all the cla.s.s ends, Jing Bo Yuan spares some times to give Ye Qing Xin a call. He just asks to be careful and goes home early.
Ye Qing Xin smiles and replies to every instruction he says.
The one that picks her up is Driver Lu.
Dou Weir wants to go to the bar to gather with her friends. She will go on the same way as Ye Qing Xin’s way back to the mansion. Ye Qing Xin asks her to follow her.
“Don’t play till late.” Ye Qing Xin reminds her. “Drink just a bit. It’s not safe for a woman.”
“I get it.” Dou Weir pouts and says: “Indeed you are a mom-to-be. You are so chatty.”
Ye Qing Xin: “I am thinking about you.”
Dou Weir: “I get it, I will not drink too much. Don’t worry.”
The car returns to Nan Shan mansion.
Ye Qing Xin gets off the car, she could smell the fresh scent of flowers.
Ye Qing Xin looks around the garden around the house, she suddenly feels attracted to the area with red colors.
She is startled, she notices it is all covered with red roses.
She feels that in the past the garden is full of orchids. When does it turn to roses?
This time Auntie Zhang comes out of the mansion and notices that Ye Qing Xin is looking at the roses startlingly. She explains: “In the beginning of the spring, Xian Sheng let the gardener comes over to pluck out all the orchids and I heard it is bought by Cheng Xian Sheng.”
“Those orchids are nice, why suddenly it is sold to someone else?” Ye Qing Xin mutters to herself.
Auntie Zhang hears it and answers: “Xian Sheng said that Tai Tai likes roses.”
Ye Qing Xin touches the roses.
“Tai Tai, be careful for the thorns.”
Ye Qing Xin strokes the rose petal.
She remembers the time they were separated, Jing Bo Yuan gave her one romantic moment. He just asked her whether she likes the roses or not. She doesn’t remember what is her response. But she is sure that she looks like she really loves roses. So Jing Bo Yuan keeps on giving her roses from time to time.
Now he plants the roses for her.
Actually she really fonds of the roses not because of the beauty but because the meaning of giving someone roses. She only loves the one that he gives for her.
Ye Qing Xin then takes out her phone, she opens Jing Bo Yuan’s contact number. Her heart is full of words that she wants to say to him but she doesn’t call him. She doesn’t know how should she say it.
This man always gives.
After the dinner, Ye Qing Xin chats for elders for a while. Then she returns to her room. After she takes the shower, she goes outside and stands on the balcony. She looks at the garden below.
Then she returns to the room and continues her unfinished sketch.
After a while.
Her phone rings. She picks it up, it’s a call from Xu Jin Huan.
Xu Jin Huan asks her again about Ye Qing Guo’s matter.
Ye Qing Xin says: “Please take care of Xiao Guo in the future.”
Xu Jin Huan is happy: “I will, I definitely will take care of him.”
She hangs up the call and puts the phone back on the coffee table. The time she returns to the sofa to sit down. She feels something strokes the inside of her belly.
