Ye Qing Xin returns to her dorm at eleven thirty. There’s still an hour before the light should be turned off.
Jing Suo Suo is laying down her bed and watching movie from her phone. Qian Rong is applying a mask.
Jing Suo Suo doesn’t raise her head when she hears the door being opened: “Xin Xin, you are homne! Pass me a glass of water okay?”
Ye Qing Xin passes the glass to Jing Suo Suo and smiles: “If I don’t plan to go home, are you preparing to be dead because of being thirsty?”
Jing Suo Suo acts like a spoiled child: “Xin Xin is the best.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and takes her nightwear and toiletries to wash her face and mouth in the bathroom.
After the shower the time she comes out and passes by Qian Rong, Qian Rong raises her head and looks at Ye Qing Xin. She then points at a bottle of perfume: “That bottle is for you, I used it and got allergy because of it. It’s a thousand dollar, It will be a waste to throw it.”
Giving someone things, sometimes people do it because of kindness, others do it to show off that they have a lot of things.
Qian Rong is the latter.
Ye Qing Xin smiles and rubs her face: “Thank you, but I have a good skin. I don’t need those things. You can give to other who needs it.”
This is right.
But the time Qian Rong hears it, it might somehow be understood that she is pretty but has a bad skin that she easily gets allergic.
She thinks that Ye Qing Xin is showing off her beauty.
She just pouts: “what is the use of being so vigorous! She is poor!
There’s thirty minutes before the light being turned off.
Ye Qing Xin tidies up her bed and drinks a glass of warm water. She also eats a stomach medicine. When she just lies down, Dou Weir comes back.
Dou Weir jokes around: “Xin Xin, before I saw a luxury car outside, which nouveau riche pursues you?”
Ye Qing Xin just laughed: “Yes, it is a rich man.”
“Who is it? Unexpectedly he can get inside the heart of the most innocent and purest heart of our campus belle?”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t think about it and just answers: “Jing Bo Yuan…. do you believe it?”
“Jing Bo Yuan? Bo Wei’s Jing Bo Yuan?” Dou Weir is surprised.
Ye Qing Xin feels regret to answer it. She just thinks that she is not lying and just nods.
“Show off!” Dou Weir immediately laughs. Who is Bo Wei’s Jing Bo Yuan?
In the same time: “Impossible!” JIng Suo Suo moves: “Xin Xin, why are you not planning your showing off action?Jing Bo Yuan sent you home? It’s impossible? If he sent you home, then I will dissect my head and give myy brain for you to play ball.”
Ye Qing Xin laughs: “Why is it so impossible?”
She also feels it’s unbelievable. A man with high position as him, unexpectedly can repeatedly help a lowly person like her. It’s just a dream.
“Let me tell you. Don’t you see he is so handsome and rich. There’s a lot of woman lusting after him. But he is around thirty years old, but he never has a woman. He always shows his strict face, just like a warning to other woman “women do not approach me”.
“So how can he send you back?”
“Really?” Ye Qing Xin feels relived.
“Ay, right. Suo Suo, how can you know it so clearly? Don’t tell me….. you ever seduced him but you were rejected so you purposely made gossip?”
“What! Weir’s your imagination is too much! Jing Bo Yuan is my Tang Ge (older cousin).”
They all know that Jing Suo Suo comes from a good background, but they didn’t expect it to be so great.
“Why I never heard you mention him?” Qian Rong asked.
“You guys never asked me about me. I couldn’t just tell it out loud?”
Dou Weir laughs: “I don’t believe it.”
Jing Suo Suo’s bad temper is provoked, “Don’t you not believe me, in the future I’ll let my Tang Ge to invite you guys to have a meal. That time let’s see if you guys dare to doubt me again!”
Dou Weir still doesn’t believe it: “Your boasting is greater than Xin Xin.”
“Just next Monday. This weekend I will go back home and ask him. Since you says that I am boasting! I, Jing Suo Suo, never boasts! Heng!”
At last, all of them unexpectedly have dinner with Jing Bo Yuan.
That night.
Ye Qing Xin tries to endure her stomachache and falls asleep. She has a nightmare.
In her nightmare, she is running with great effort around a grassy area. Behind her there’s a cruel wolf that is chasing after her. At last that wolf successfully chases after her and presses her body down to the ground. She recognizes that wolf’s face as Jing Bo Yuan’s face.
She yells.
All three people are sleeping. There’s so dark in the room.
Ye Qing Xin just lays down in the bed until the sun comes up.
She gets up and tidies up. She follows Dou Weir for a morning run.
Dou Weir and Ye Qing Xin come from a similar family background. They are poor people that know that they should stay healthy because they have no money to go to doctor so they need to take care of their health. They always get up early to exercise every day.
“Last night it’s really Jing Bo Yuan who sent you back home?”
Ye Qing Xin recalls her nightmare and pursed her lips: “No, I’m joking. I don’t expect that Jing Suo Suo is Jing Bo Yuan’s younger cousin.”
“He, I also didn’t expect it. We’ve lived together for a year….. life is really full of surprise.” Dou Weir laughed.
Surprise? Ye Qing Xin doesn’t dare to agree blindly to it, it’s terrifying for her.
After a day of burdensome schedule.
In the afternoon.
Ye Qing Xin goes to the canteen to buy a bowl of rice, tomato fried egg, and a free soup.
The time she finishes, her phone rings.
Ye Qing Xin looks at her phone and notices it is a call from her mother, Zhou Qiao Qiao. She answers it: “Ma.”
“Xin Xin, are you eating?”
“Yes, I am. Ma, have you eaten?”
“I also just finished, Xin Xin. These years thanks to your uncle, we can live well. You need to obey him don’t make trouble for your uncle. You need to study well. Then when you graduate you can repay your uncle….”
Zhou Qiao Qiao keeps repeating about that for so many times. Ye Qing Xin smiles and says: “Ma, I know it, don’t worry.”
She hungs up and looks at her food. It’s clearly that she is not full yet, but she has no appetite
