“I’m coaxing you.”  

Jian Yao is stunned by his reply. That’s not what she anticipated to listen to.  Sweetness poured into her coronary heart.  However nearly instantly, it’s changed by motive and logic, with a contact of frustration.

She turns round to take a look at him: “Coax me… to be your assistant?”

“Yeah.” He faucets his hand on the nook of the desk, leans ahead to take a look at her.

– I knew it!  Her lips curl right into a bitter smile. 

“Properly, that’s not the one motive.” He all of a sudden provides.

She waits…

He stares at her.  Bo Jinyan appears good in white.  It brings out his good pores and skin complexion.  His eyes appears clear and sharp.

“I feel we must always reconcile.”

Jian Yao is speechless.

By now, Fu Ziyu has completed his name.  He’s been observing the 2 of them.  He can’t assist however smile: “Good job with the fish.”

Jian Yao is poking her chopsticks in an empty bowl.  She will not be giving Bo Jinyan a solution.

Fu Ziyu takes a look at Bo Jinyan: “Have some fish.  No person pressured him to debone it for you.  He doesn’t anticipate something on return.  Don’t fear.  Simply since you eat some fish doesn’t imply you conform to reconcile with him, or to stay to be his assistant.  Proper?”

“Hum…” Bo Jinyan asks coldly: “Whose facet are you on?”

Fu Ziyu: “Jian Yao’s after all.  I’ve all the time been and can all the time be loyal to her!”

Whereas the 2 males are bickering amongst themselves, she picks up a bit of the fish fillet together with her chopsticks and places it in her mouth.

It’s very tender. 

He spent half a day deboning the fish for her… until his fingers are drained.

This man….

Dinner is over.  They’re standing within the shade underneath a tree within the restaurant carpark.  Fu Ziyu asks: “What ought to we do subsequent?”

Jian Yao: “I have to go to the grocery store.  I gained’t be a part of you anymore.” 

Bo Jinyan stands subsequent to her.  He takes a take a look at her.  

Fu Ziyu smiles: “Then we are going to accompany you to the grocery store.  We’re coaxing you, bear in mind?  At the moment, you’re the Queen.  We’ll comply with Your Majesty anyplace.  Is that proper, Bo Jinyan?”

Jian Yao laughs: “ Oh, Come on…”    Bo Jinyan agrees with a low voice: “Sure, we are going to go together with you…”

—————

How typically does a girl get to walk the grocery store with two good-looking and charming ‘bodyguards’.  She is attracting a lot of consideration at present.  

Fu Ziyu is clearly in a great temper at present.  He’s taking part in his ‘Queen’s knight’ function extraordinarily nicely.  “Your Majesty, which aisle ought to we take?” “My Queen, would you like this model of salt?”….

His allure manages to assuage her melancholy.  She will’t assist however smile: “Oh, cease calling me that.”

Bo Jinyan stands quietly by her facet.  From her peripheral imaginative and prescient, she is aware of that Bo Jinyan is all the time taking a look at her.  She refuses to have interaction with him, so she retains trying away from him.  They don’t speak to one another in any respect.

They arrive to the confectionary part.  Jian Yao stops to replenish her inventory.  There’s a younger fairly girl selling a brand new model of biscuit.  When she sees Jian Yao and the 2 males, she walks over with some samples.

Bo Jinyan will, after all, ignore her.  However Fu Ziyu is just too delicate hearted to say no to a reasonably lady. After making an attempt the pattern, he follows the lady to the biscuit part to get a pack.

There’s solely the 2 of them left within the confectionary part.

Jian Yao pretends to learn the labels of the merchandise.  

Out of the blue, she notices Bo Jinyan has walked off.  

She takes a go searching.  He’s not there anymore.  

Her coronary heart sinks.  

Then she hears a well-recognized voice behind her: “Your majesty, right here’s your sugar-free lollies.”

It’s an merchandise on her grocery listing.  He will need to have seen it and went to seek out it for her.

Jian Yao says to him: “Why are you following his lead?  Cease calling me that.” 

Bo Jinyan places the pack of lolly into her trolley: “Nobody is forcing me to do it.  And I don’t anticipate something in return.”

Jian Yao takes a take a look at his ‘unwilling’ face.  She smiles and says: “I don’t need apple flavour.  I want orange.”

Bo Jinyan reaches for the pack within the trolley: “Sure!  Your majesty.”  He picks up the packet of lolly and return it to the shelf.  Jian Yao watches him as he appears fastidiously on the labels to seek out what Jian Yao is after.  

A tall man with vivid eyes and strikingly good-looking options, carrying a easy white shirt and a pair of black pants.  

Sure, that is the person she likes.  

Quickly, he finds what he’s searching for.  He turns again and walks towards Jian Yao.

“Thanks.” Jian Yao reaches out her hand, able to take the packet of lolly from him.

He locations it in her hand, however he doesn’t let go.  They’re each holding the packet of lolly.

She appears at him.  He takes a step ahead to scale back the space between them.  He appears into her eyes.

“Reconcile?”  He says in his deep melodic voice. 

Jian Yao’s face begins to blush.  She tries pulling the pack just a little tougher. However he’s not letting go.  The packet of lolly is sort of small.  His fingers are touching the again of her hand.  Jian Yao seems like there’s small pulse of electrical energy coming by means of her hand.  

Jian Yao provides a sigh.  She surrenders.  

Lifting her head, she smiles at him: “Alright.  I’ve had sufficient of your nonsense. Let’s make peace. I gained’t cover from you anymore.  What would you like for breakfast tomorrow?”

Bo Jinyan eye’s gentle up: ”No matter you need.  My Queen.” 

Jian Yao simply solutions: “Let’s go.”

“Okay…”  

She pushes the trolley in direction of the counter.  He’s following behind her.  After just a few steps, she feels one thing delicate and heat touching her head.  It’s Bo Jinyan, he pats her head as he walks previous her.

She pauses her steps.

– Sure, we’ve got reconciled.  Bo Jinyan,  I such as you, however you clearly don’t share the identical sentiment in direction of me.  However I can’t keep by your facet as a pal anymore. What am I going to do?   

————

Since they’ve ‘reconciled’, Jian Yao takes some snacks and fruits she purchased earlier to Bo Jinyan’s condo.  

Bo Jinyan is having a shower.  Fu Ziyu is sitting within the couch studying.  When she enters the condo, he smiles and indicators her to return to take a seat beside him.

Fu Ziyu pours himself a glass of pink wine.  He asks Jian Yao: “Would you want some wine too?”

Jian Yao shakes her head.  She walks to the kitchen and pours herself a glass of milk: “I’ll take milk.”  She says to Fu Ziyu.

They quietly sit for some time.  Then Fu Ziyu asks her: “You want Bo Jinyan, don’t you?”

Jian Yao nearly choked listening to these phrases.  Her face turns pink, and she or he begins to cough.

Fu Ziyu laughs at her, whereas gently patting her again to assist her really feel higher: “Take it simple.  I’m in your facet.”

“I’m not certain what you might be speaking about.” says Jian Yao after she lastly regains her composure.

Fu Ziyu: ”Your secret is protected with me…” 

Jian Yao doesn’t deny anymore.  She is a simple particular person in entrance of her pals anyway.

After a second of silence, she says to Fu Ziyu: “Please don’t inform him.”

“After all not.  Males ought to all the time make the primary transfer in terms of courting.”  Then he pauses “Although, this is likely to be troublesome for Bo Jinyan.” 

“I don’ suppose that’s essential.  He has no emotions for me.”Jian Yao says.

Fu Ziyu is shocked: “That’s inconceivable!”

Jian Yao hesitates.  Then she explains to Fu Ziyu why she has come to that conclusion.  She feels a little bit of her burden is lifted after getting it off her chest to somebody.

She didn’t anticipate Fu Ziyu to have such a response after listening to her out.  As an alternative of consoling her, he has a ‘I knew it’ look on his face.  He smiles: ”You base your conclusion on these statements of his?”

Jian Yao argues: “Properly, would you say to somebody you want – “Go end up a boyfriend’?”

“Me?  No…. However we’re speaking about Bo Jinyan!  A genius with extraordinarily low EQ.  In addition to  he has by no means been in a relationship earlier than.  You realize what he’s like.  Within the inside, he’s simply an egotistic boastful child.”

Jian Yao can’t assist however agree with what he says: “Sure, that’s so true.”

Fu Ziyu continues: “So, even for those who inform him you might be getting married tomorrow.  He’ll congratulate you and even write you an enormous cheque as a marriage current.  However it’s not till he sees you within the arms  of one other man will he all of a sudden realise “Oh, how come she will not be mine anymore?” “

Jian Yao laughs on the suggestion.  There’s nonetheless a little bit of bitterness and uncertainty in her coronary heart.  Can he be such an fool in terms of love? 

Perhaps…

“I’ve by no means seen him so involved a few lady earlier than.”    Fu Ziyu appears at her and says in an unwavering tone: “ However that’s Bo Jinyan.  He’s extraordinarily gifted, and an excellent felony psychologist.   However he’s additionally a loner.  Somebody that hates socialising.  So, to be his pal, or lover, we have to take extra effort to achieve out to him.   Wanting again, it took me a very long time to grow to be his solely pal.  Now, as his greatest and solely pal, I urge you to present him extra time.  I don’t need him to lose out on such a stunning girlfriend.”  

—————-

It’s a stupendous evening.  The nice and cozy summer time breezes brushes over one’s face as if to appease the restlessness within the coronary heart.  

Jian Yao appears up and meets Fu Ziyu’s reassuring gaze.  

Bo Jinyan walks out from his bed room.  

With out taking a look at him, his two company elevate their glass.  Fu Ziyu says to Jian Yao: “To our alliance!”

Bo Jinyan stands behind them: “Alliance?  What are you speaking about?”  He’s carrying a white T Shirt and shorts.  He appears at Jian Yao: “Why is your face so pink?”

Fu Ziyu smiles.

Jian Yao stands up rapidly and says her goodbye: “It’s getting late.  See you tomorrow.”

The subsequent morning.

Bo Jinyan wakes up feeling just a little irritable.  Jian Yao mentioned they’d make peace, however she didn’t even converse to him as soon as final evening.

That is the primary time in Bo Jinyan’s life that he’s at somebody’s disposal.  He’s used to being the one in management – The place he works, his title, who works for him… Nobody dared to say no to him earlier than.

– Maybe, if he continues to coax her for yet another day?  She is going to agree? 

He stands in entrance of the mirror.  Then he hears the sound of the entrance door open. 

He smiles.  Time for breakfast.

When he enters to the lounge,  he see Jian Yao sitting on the couch.  And his favorite fish dumplings… on the espresso desk.  

She is carrying a beige costume at present.  She greets him with a pleasant smile.

Mmm…that’s what it must be each morning.  His irritability has dissipated.  

Jian Yao asks causally: “What do we have to work on at present?”

Bo Jinyan smiles: “There’s no pressing work in the meanwhile.  I’ll… I’ll get modified first.  Then we could have breakfast collectively.”  He’s clearly in a great temper.  He sounds cheerful.

“OK.” Jian Yao places her head down.  

– Oh Bo Jinyan.  I’ve gone one additional step.  I’ll wait right here.  Are you keen to return to me?  However don’t make me wait too lengthy, I would get discouraged and switch my again on you….

Bo Jinyan whistles as he modifies in entrance of the mirror.  Then he provides Fu Ziyu a name.

Fu Ziyu congratulates him: “I’ll prepare for the contract.  The standard time period? Three years?”

Bo Jinyan: “Change it to 10 years.“

Fu Ziyu is just a little stunned.  Then he laughs: ‘Your sister gained’t be too pleased that you just gained this spherical.” 

This reminds Bo Jinyan.  He sends his sister a textual content message: “I’m sorry.  Jian Yao is mine now. – Yours, “The ‘actual’ Bo Jinyan” ”  

YinZiqi didn’t reply to his textual content.  

He returns to the lounge.  Jian Yao is studying a e book “The Information to Behavioural Proof”

His cellphone rings.

“Professor Bo.  My title is Wang Xi.”  It’s the inspector from Wang Wan Wei’s case.  

“Sure?” asks Bo Jinyan

“We discovered ‘him.…” He says closely, “His physique.”
