Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next day, Lu Jia’er got up very early in the morning and watched the sun rise together with Jin Xiangdong. It turned out that the sunrise on Phi Phi Island was not as beautiful as its sunset. However, any time was a wonderful time if you were spending it with a person you loved the most.
Over the next few days, Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangdong, as well as their colleagues, tried every single marine activity on the island. It was an extremely pleasant trip!
In the blink of an eye, the five-day vacation ended. Everyone bid farewell to the vast blue sky, crystal clear ocean and silver sand reluctantly before they returned to their workplace.
During the holiday, Lu Jia’er met two of Professor Li’s family members —Qiqi, who suffered from Asperger’s disease and Guo Yan, who suffered from depression. Although Lu Jia’er did not help much, she could feel that Professor Li’s family’s knitted brows became smooth again after the trip.
It was particularly true for Guo Yan. After hearing Lu Jia’er, Professor Li had put in a lot of effort and actively talked to Guo Yan over the past few days. Although he could not instantly eliminate all the estrangements laid within Guo Yan’s heart, it played a role.
After picking up the suitcases at the airport, Professor Li’s family walked near Lu Jia’er.
“Qiqi, say goodbye to sister and uncles.” Professor Li stroked Qiqi’s head.
However, Li Zheng immediately corrected him. “Since you called her sister, you should call us brothers. Qiqi, say goodbye to brothers.”
Qiqi did not respond, still lowered his head and played with the toy in his hands. Without Allen, Qiqi was immersed entirely in his own world.
Even if Qiqi had not responded, Professor Li’s face was not as gloomy as he was before. This was because both Professor Li and his wife had learned the secret to communicate with Qiqi from Lu Jia’er. As long as they could improve Qiqi’s training, both of them would surely have a place in Qiqi’s world one day later.
“Professor Lu, we will give you a treat next time.” Professor Li smiled as he said.
“That’s great!” Lu Jia’er did not refuse this time and looked at Guo Yan. “Sister Guo, don’t forget to contact the doctor I recommended to you by tomorrow, he will prescribe some medicines for you.”
“Alright.” Guo Yan nodded.
Even though Lu Jia’er gave Guo Yan another psychological consultation earlier. At Guo Yan’s current stage, a supplemented medical treatment would definitely boost her recovery process.
Normally, Lu Jia’er did not offer psychological counseling, but Guo Yan was an exception. Since Lu Jia’er had gained her trust, Lu Jia’er would not simply pa.s.s her to another psychologist before her condition improved. Hence, Lu Jia’er could only continue counseling her.
“It’s time for us to take our leave,” Professor Li said.
Lu Jia’er merely nodded and watched Professor Li’s family leaving.
“Jia’er, let’s go.” Su Han walked over.
“Let me send you.” Standing to the side, both Jason and Jin Xiangdong said concurrently.
Lu Jia’er and Su Han exchanged gaze and in the end, they got into their own boyfriend’s car. It was such a waste of fuel!
Besides the unresolved doubt, it was truly a fruitful trip for Lu Jia’er. The same went for Su Han. Jason had long been tantalized by Su Han during the past few days.
Love blossomed differently for each individual. It was perfectly fine so long as the process was filled with sweetness.
After getting into the car from the car park, Lu Jia’er sighed. “Su Han’s love has actually blossomed at such a fast pace.”
“When fate steps in, love blossoms as a matter of course.” The corner of Jin Xiangdong’s lips slightly lifted.
“How long did Jason’s previous relationship last?” Lu Jia’er asked.
“Wasn’t he the one who said that he had remained single for thirty years?” Jin Xiangdong told Lu Jia’er what Jason said in the game.
“You buy this, but not me.” Lu Jia’er smiled.
“If I tell you that I remained single for thirty years, would you trust me?” Jin Xiangdong’s slender fingers were controlling the steering wheel as he looked at Lu Jia’er.
“I trust you.” Lu Jia’er nodded.
“Why?” Hearing her answer, Jin Xiangdong gave a faint smile.
“Because you hadn’t met me.” Lu Jia’er smiled as she answered.
Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong could not help himself as he reached out and stroked Lu Jia’er’s head.
Lu Jia’er met Su Han downstairs and they took their own suitcases into the elevator.
There were only two of them in the elevator. Lu Jia’er took a glance at Su Han and broke the silence. “Jason moved quite fast. Where is your reserved disposition?”
“Even if I have lost my reserved disposition, Jason is the one who courted me. Moreover, he is currently under a trial period.” Su Han retorted.
“Trial period?” Lu Jia’er could not help but take her hat off to those romance novel writers. Su Han had so many fancy ideas when it came to love.
“What’s wrong?” Su Han raised her brow.
“Whatever you say is alright.” At this time, the door of the elevator opened and Lu Jia’er did not speak further.
Lu Jia’er thought that when she reached home, she would see Amy welcoming her. It turned out that nothing like that happened.
“Amy, we’re back!” Su Han called out to Amy.
“Amy, are you angry with us that we left you alone at home? Come on, we bought you a gift!” As Lu Jia’er did not see Amy, she put down her suitcase and put on her slippers.
Although Amy had just moved in not long ago, both Su Han and Lu Jia’er had treated it as if it was part of their family. When they left the house they had reminded it to stay obediently at home and that they would bring it a gift when they returned.
“Is Amy out of battery?” Not getting a response from Amy, Su Han tried to guess.
“That’s possible.” Lu Jia’er walked to the living room as she said.
However, after checking the living room, dining area, bedroom and kitchen, Amy was nowhere to be found..
“Amy is missing!” Su Han said anxiously.
“What had happened? Is Amy really lost? Did someone break in?” Lu Jia’er checked all over again.
“Call the police!” Su Han flew into a great panic.
Lu Jia’er’s gaze swept past the surroundings. Everything in the house was clean and neat. She reached out and touched the table and found it was dust free. In other words, Amy was still at home this morning.
“Did it go out on its own?” Lu Jia’er guessed.
“That’s impossible, I have never taken Amy out before.” Su Han shook her head. After all, the time she spent at home was far more than Lu Jia’er and naturally, she knew Amy better.
“Let me check with Ace whether Amy had a positioning system!” Lu Jia’er was still sensible and quickly took out her phone and gave Jin Xiangdong a call.
“Hurry up!” Su Han urged.
Lu Jia’er took a glimpse at Su Han, her eyes were reddened.
“Ace said that Amy has a positioning system. I am going to download the official software.”After talking to Jin Xiangdong for a while, Lu Jia’er hung up the phone.
Just as Lu Jia’er was downloading the software, the door cracked open.
Slightly startled, both Lu Jia’er and Su Han looked at the door concurrently only to see Amy step into the house. Seeing the suitcases at the door, it blinked its eyes and raised its head. “Professor Lu! Su Han! You are back!”
Lu Jia’er and Su Han heaved a sigh of relief. They were almost frightened to death.
“Amy! Where have you been? You have frightened me to death!” Su Han rushed over.
“I was just playing downstairs.” Amy blinked its eyes.
“Playing downstairs? Since when do you know how to get downstairs on your own?” Su Han lectured Amy as if a mother who had lost her child.
“I am not sure since when I knew it.” Amy blinked its eyes again with an innocent look.
Seeing Amy’s return, Lu Jia’er breathed a sigh of relief. After lecturing Amy for a while, Su Han brought it to the living room and took out a gift.
However, Lu Jia’er’s heart was filled with mixed feelings. How could Amy get downstairs itself?
“How was the positioning?” Not long after, Jin Xiangdong called.
“Amy is back.” Leaning back in the chair, Lu Jia’er said as she watched Su Han handed Amy a gift.
“What do you mean?” Jin Xiangdong was curious.
“Amy that said it was playing downstairs just now.” Lu Jia’er told him the truth.
“It went downstairs? I am going to your house now. Wait for me.” Jin Xiangdong was getting more and more curious.
“What’s wrong?’ Lu Jia’er was burning with curiosity.
“I need to check on Amy,” Jin Xiangdong said.
Fifteen minutes later, Jin Xiangdong reached Lu Jia’er’s apartment with a notebook in his hand.
He had always been carrying his notebook with him wherever he was, even if he was on a business trip.
Jin Xiangdong was sitting in the living room, his notebook was placed on the coffee table while Amy was turned off and connected to a data cable. There were numerous bits of data populated on the computer screen. Although Lu Jia’er did not understand it, she knew that that data was related to some programs.
“Is there anything wrong?” After the check was finished, Lu Jia’er asked when she noticed that Jin Xiangdong’s face had changed.
“That’s nothing. However, for safety purposes, I need to reinstall the programs in Amy.” Jin Xiangdong regained his composure, his gaze moved away from the computer screen and fixed on Lu Jia’er.
“Alright.” Lu Jia’er nodded.
In fact, Amy should never leave the house on its own again. Su Han had nearly lost her mind and her eyes were reddened as if she lost her own child.
Although Lu Jia’er was not as nervous as Su Han, when she realized that Amy was missing, her heart skipped a beat.
Jin Xiangdong reinstalled Amy’s programs skillfully. His face was indifferent but his heart was full of puzzles: ‘Who changed Amy’s system?’
