Jian Yao: “…….”

Essentially the most embarrassing on this planet can be to listen to Bo Jinyan discuss intercourse. He’s so blunt and straight ahead, for granted for the way it will make her really feel.

Jian Yao: “I would transfer round in my sleep and unintentionally contact your wound.  The precedence proper now’s to be sure to have a speedily restoration.  So we have to sleep in separate rooms.” 

They’re nonetheless trying into every others eyes.

Bo Jinyan: “That’s nonsense.  The final time I held you in my arm, you didn’t transfer in any respect.”

Jian Yao: “Effectively, simply in case.  We will’t threat it.  Good night time.”

Within the comfortable mild, he appears to be like good in his black pyjamas.  She bends down: “Shut your eyes.”

He appears to be like at her and closes his eye lids.

When her lips are about to the touch his, she notices the corners of his lips curl as much as somewhat smile.  

Jian Yao feels heat and fuzzy within the coronary heart.

The following morning.

A shiny sunny day.  The entire of B metropolis is having fun with the heat the solar brings on this beautiful autumn day. Fu Ziyu parks his Lexus within the house carpark.  He walks over to open the door for Yin Ziqi: “We’re right here.”

Yin Ziqi is sporting a navy blue costume in the present day, with a white scarf, and a pair of heels.  She appears to be like involved: “Did you get a helper?  Who’s taking care of him?”

Fu Ziyu holds on to her hand to assist her stability as she will get out of the automobile: “That’s alright.  Jian Yao is there.  They’re residing collectively.”

He notices Yin Ziqi appears to be like somewhat unusual when she heard that.  

Oh.. Bo Jinyan has not knowledgeable his sister but.  If she knew how totally different her little brother behaves round Jian Yao these days, she will likely be horrified.  The block of ice that has become a flaming magma –  french kissed his girlfriend on day one, efficiently persuaded her to maneuver in with him on day two, and nearly made out on day three! 

When Bo Jinyan advised him about falling in love with Jian Yao, he choked and made a idiot of himself.  He needs to see what kind of response the elegant Yin Ziqi may give. So he simply says: “Effectively, she is his assistant, so it’s a part of her job description to take care of him.”

And Bo Jinyan doesn’t disappoint him.  

Earlier than he left yesterday, Bo Jinyan gave him a spare key to his home in order that ‘Jian Yao gained’t need to rush round to open the door for Fu Ziyu.”

So when he opens the door, the image they see is Bo Jinyan leaning down on the chaise close to the window.  Jian Yao is sitting subsequent to him.  She is holding a bowl, and spoon feeding him congee. At that second, the spoon is in Bo Jinyan’s mouth.

This can be a regular scene of somebody taking care of an injured particular person.  However Jian Yao’s barely blushing face and the smile that’s in Bo Jinyan’s gaze provides a sure ambiguity to the ambiance.  

When Jian Yao sees Fu Ziyu, she shortly pulls the spoon out of his mouth.  

“hu hum…” Fu Ziyu clears his throat: “Jinyan, your sister is right here.”

Yin Ziqi clearly noticed Jian Yao spoon-feeding him too.  She senses there’s something between them, however she pretends she didn’t discover.

Bo Jinyan appears to be like to his sister and offers her a nod.  Then he turns again to Jian Yao: “Don’t be distracted.  Proceed.”

Jian Yao feels somewhat uneasy.  She shoves the bowl into Bo Jinyan’s hand.  “You are able to do it your self.”  Then she stands and smiles to Yin Ziqi: “Hello.  Please sit down.  I’ll make some tea.”

Yin Ziqi smiles again: “Thanks.”  Then she turns to her brother.  Earlier than she will get an opportunity to talk, she will hear his voice.  Though, he would not appear to be speaking to her.  “They’ve arms, depart them to do it themselves… Oh! Are you shy once more…. You may think about they don’t seem to be right here.”

Jian Yao blushes much more: “Shut up!” She turns to Yin Ziqi: “Sorry, he’s been somewhat onerous to please since his accidents.”

Apologising for Bo Jinyan has change into a behavior of Jian Yao’s – from the little child on the day they performed fireworks, to soothing the cops due to his harsh feedback, to dealing with members of the family that he helped saved however don’t wish to meet… 

However in Yin Ziqi’s ears, her apologies signify one thing totally different.  

She has at all times been a smart particular person.  After being kissed by the Flower Cannibal No.2, she is properly conscious that essentially the most harmful a part of the entire occasion just isn’t the Flower Cannibal, however how moved she felt when she mistook the Flower Cannibal for Bo Jinyan.  

So for a very long time, she didn’t contact Bo Jinyan.  Till in the present day, when she heard about his accidents.

—————-

She is Bo Jinyan’s sister.   Jian Yao is just his assistant.  However she is apologising on to her on his behalf?  

She smiles and look in the direction of Fu Ziyu for a solution.

Fu Ziyu refuses to get entangled.  He merely provides a “I don’t know.  However you recognize what your brother is like” look to her.  

Yin Ziqi takes a seat subsequent to Bo Jinyan.  He has misplaced weight since she final noticed him.  She will be able to see the highest of the bandage displaying just under his neckline.  Her coronary heart feels for him.

“How did you find yourself hurting your self so badly?” She frowns as she asks Bo Jinyan.

Bo Jinyan glances her a glance.  He’s not planning to reply the query.

Fu Ziyu additionally takes a seat on the couch.  He’s ready for the sister’s response when she is aware of about their relationship.  Jian Yao takes out two cups of tea from the kitchen and locations them on the espresso desk.

“Did you overlook what occurred final time?” Qin Ziqi says softly. “We had been so nervous for you.  You may’t let your self be harm anymore.” 

This time Bo Jinyan solutions: “I’ll do my finest.”

————-

Jian Yao has returned to the kitchen lower up some fruits for everybody.   The three of them are chatting within the lounge.

Yin Ziqi says: “Do you wish to transfer again to the villa for now? The servants there can higher take care of you.”

Fu Ziyu is aware of she is fishing for data.  He laughs.  

As anticipated, Bo Jinyan solutions right away: “No.”

Yin Ziqi appears to be like at him: “Okay then, I’ll make use of an expert nurse to take care of you.  Jian Yao can’t deal with the duty by herself.  You must relaxation in mattress.  Apart from, she is a woman.  How can she meet all of your private wants?”

The 2 of them appears to be like at Bo Jinyan.  He has an odd look on his face.  

“Oh…” He says softly.

Yin Ziqi is puzzled: “What’s it?”

His good-looking face has sly smile: “Private wants – I didn’t give it some thought.  That is the place I can benefit from the state of affairs.  Thanks for the reminder.”  

“Ha ha ha….” Fu Ziyu is hysterical.  Yin Ziqi continues to be questioning what he means.

After some time, she begins laughing too: “Did I miss one thing right here?”

Bo Jinyan abruptly remembers the his sister doesn’t learn about his love curiosity but.  So he says: “Isn’t this apparent?  I’m in love.”

Regardless that it’s his second time listening to the assertion, Fu Ziyu chokes once more.  

Yin Ziqi’s smile freezes. After some time, she turns to take a look at Fu Ziyu: “Can I’ve a second with him?”

Fu Ziyu stands up: “Certain.”

Jian Yao walks out with the platter.  Fu Ziyu says to her: “Jian Yao, let’s go get some lunch for all of us.”  Jian Yao senses the siblings need a while in non-public, so she agrees. 

After they depart the house, Bo Jinyan is the primary to talk: “What’s it? One other homicide in your organization?”

Yin Ziqi says: “In fact not.” She smiles: “I’m simply stunned, to listen to about you and Jian Yao.”

Bo Jinyan asks: “Why are you stunned? I’m regular wholesome man.”

Yin Ziqi pauses, then she says: “Congratulations.” 

“Thanks.”

She smiles once more: “I’m not attempting to intervene along with your non-public life. However as a result of it’s the primary time you’re in a relationship, I’ve a query to ask you. Are you certain she is true lady for you?”

Bo Jinyan: “Why are you asking?”

“You’re a high-quality younger man.  Many ladies will think about you an excellent catch.  Jian Yao is an efficient lady too.  However I do have one hesitation.” She appears to be like at him ands says fastidiously: “You’ve gotten by no means spent a lot time alone with a lady earlier than.  She is your first feminine assistant.  Are you certain that is love? Or is it as a result of she is round you on a regular basis.  And all of the care and a focus you obtain from her, you mistake that for love.  If it was one other lady in her place, would you could have the identical emotions for her?”

Bo Jinyan thinks about what she says.

Then he begins tapping his fingers on the armrest.  He has a giant smile on his face. His eyes look brightly at her.  

“You’ve gotten confirmed one thing for me.  It’s not about what number of instances you fall in love.  Pure expertise is a vital issue.”  He says proudly: “Even with the quantity of expertise you could have with guys, you may’t see by means of a easy reality?”

Yin Ziqi: “…What do you imply?”

Bo Jinyan says slowly: “Your query is a paradox.  Give it some thought, there are hundreds of thousands of lady on this planet, but I’ve at all times used a male assistant.  However why did I alter my behavior and make use of her as a substitute?”

——————

When Yin Ziqi and Fu Ziyu depart, it’s the afternoon.  Fu Ziyu leisurely chats to her whereas he drives: “Isn’t it unbelievable?  Bo Jinyan is in love.  And so they love one another so dearly.   Each time I see the best way he appears to be like at Jian Yao, I feel to myself – I should be dreaming.”   

Yin Ziqi appears to be like out of the window: “Sure, I’m so completely happy for him.”

After his guests ‘reminded’ Bo Jinyan how Jian Yao ought to take care of him, he waits eagerly for night time to reach.

After dinner.  Jian Yao sits within the balcony with him.  She asks: “What do you wish to do tonight?  Watch TV? Learn?”

Bo Jinyan appears to be like at her and smiles: “Since I can’t take a bathe on my own, you could wipe my physique for me.”

Jian Yao is speechless.  She blushes. 

Bo Jinyan provides: “Full physique…”
