However she vaguely remembers that sooner or later final night time, she noticed Bo Jinyan wearing pyjamas standing on the aspect of the mattress, on the lookout for one thing.  However quickly, she fell asleep once more.

She turns her head, and is stunned to seek out one thing mendacity beside her on the mattress.  Truly, it’s somebody.  Truly, it’s….Bo Jinyan.

She will get a fright from this scene.  

He’s mendacity very straight, along with his arms on both aspect.  The identical sleeping place just like the final time she noticed him.  With out the conceited look on his face, he appears like a giant boy when he’s asleep.

However, when did he climb onto her mattress?

Oh …… his mattress.

Jian Yao tilts her physique to look extra intently at him.  The room is so quiet, she will hear his respiration, and even really feel the heat of his breath coming in the direction of her.  Her heartbeat, silently accelerates.  

Candy desires, Bo Jinyan.

The rays of the morning gentle shines by way of the window.  Bo Jinyan is the primary to get up.

He sits up, then turns round to have a look at Jian Yao who’s sleeping beside him.

It’s the primary time in his life that he’s slept subsequent to girl.   He was exhausted final night time when he went to mattress so he didn’t suppose an excessive amount of about it.  

She remains to be carrying the white shirt and black knee excessive skirt, revealing her legs.  Her pores and skin is so delicate and easy.  He can see her foot too.  Gentle, slender and exquisite.

She turns and see that there’s already breakfast on the eating desk.  2 bowls of congee and a few shrimp dumplings. They’re from a widely known store within the neighbourhood. 

–  Bo Jinyan bothered to queue as much as purchase breakfast.  That’s so out of character for him. He used to say that the place is simply too crowded, too noisy and standing in queue is a time waster.  

Despite the fact that she is aware of she received’t get a pleasant reply out of him, she will’t assist however ask: “Did you purchase them?”

And as anticipated…

“No.” He put down his newspaper: “It simply appeared out of skinny air.”

Jian Yao thinks for a second, turns to have a look at Bo Jinyan.  He’s placed on a sleep masks to take a nap. 

She pokes his arm: “Inform me.  What do you suppose up to now?”

Bo Jinyan simply solutions “I need to sleep. Don’t neglect, if you have been nonetheless sleeping in that unhealthy posture, I needed to go downstairs to purchase breakfast.” 

Jian Yao blushes.  She takes a look at Fu Ziyu.  Fu Ziyu remains to be driving, as if he didn’t hear a phrase they have been saying.

Jian Yao pretends she didn’t hear these phrases too, and continues to poke Bo Jinyan: “Simply sleep on the aircraft.   The aircraft is surrounded by individuals.  I received’t have the ability to discuss to you freely.  In case you don’t educate me, how am I suppose to unravel the case myself subsequent time?”

– Ops.  Subsequent time?…  It’s a slip of the tongue.

Bo Jinyan takes off his sleep masks and smiles to her: “It’s a deal!”

Jian Yao says: “To begin with, the cellphone that didn’t attain Wang Wan Wei’s mother was throughout 0:04am.  I believe that it’s as a result of somebody went to see her, so she was interrupted.  However after all, we might want to discover out who this particular person was.  

Secondly, the blue gown and pearl earrings. There’s no motive why the assassin had to remove these two issues, leaving loopholes within the case.  so, one thing will need to have occurred.  Perhaps the gown ripped, or the earrings torn, that the assassin needed to take them away in an effort to keep away from exposing indicators of wrestle.
