Zhou Qiao Qiao turns her head and looks for Ye Qing Xin for several seconds: “It’s great. If you cannot say it, I’ll help you to say it to him.”
Ye Qing Xin: “......”
After an hour.
The sickroom is knocked. The nurse stands up, but Ye Qing Xin is faster than her to open the door.
Outside the door.
Jing Bo Yuan is standing there with his blue lattice suit and white shirt. He looks so manyly.
Ye Qing Xin smiles at him: “You are here.”
She looks at his ankle and frowns: “Your leg......”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything and wipes the tears in her face.
She then moves to let him inside: “Come in and sit down.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao is looking at the window before, she doesn’t notice Jing Bo Yuan’s coming. When she notices, the atmosphere in the room turns serious. But she doesn’t turn her head.
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t care about her hostility toward him. He comes over and greets him, “Hi, I’m Jing Bo Yuan.”
He is polite.
Zhou Qiao Qiao acts so arrogant. She tries and control herself to not turn her head to look at him.
Ye Qing Xin looks at her coldness and says: “Ma, Bo Yuan’s leg is hurt, he cannot stand up for a long time......”
Zhou Qiao Qiao: “.........”
Looking at her ignorance, Ye Qing Xin takes him to sit down: “Come here to sit down.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao snorts: “You are not married into his family, how can you act like that!”
Ye Qing Xin’s face pales up. Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and holds her hand. He pats it: “Let me talk with A Yi alone.”
Ye Qing Xin is hesitant. She is afraid that her mother will say something bad.
Jing Bo Yuan says: “Don’t worry.”
Ye Qing Xin comes out with the nurse and closes the door.
The room turns silence.
Jing Bo Yuan sits down on the sofa. Then he says: “Mrs Ye, it’s been fourteen years. You are really like fourteen year ago.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao is startled.
She turns her head and looks at Jing Bo Yuan. Her expression changes.
Suddenly she remembers fourteen years ago, the night that was full of thunder and lightning. Six years old Ye Qing Xin suddenly had stomach pain. She kept on vomiting and had a high fever. That time Ye Jun Dong hadn’t came home for many years. She was worried and carried her up to the hospital. Because it’s late at night, there’s no car. There’s no even pedestrian.
She didn’t know how much she fell that time. The hospital was far away. Ye Qing Xin in her embrace also kept on twitching. The time she was in despair, she looked a car came over. She didn’t care about anything and just ran and stopped the car. She knelt down to the car owner to help her daughter.
The person inside the car got off the car with his umbrella. She raised her head up and looked the young and handsome man.
Until today she still remembers that man’s eyes and face.
After a while, Zhou Qiao Qiao speaks up. Her attitude change: “It’s you.”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “You still remember me.”
“Of course, you are Xin Xin’s savior. That year Xin Xin got acute appendicitis. If it’s not your kindness to send us over, Xin Xin will be dead.”
Jing Bo Yuan’s eyes narrows. “I also remember that day how you were so desperate that you knelt down in front of me to help your daughter. How can after fourteen years, you have changed.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao’s face turns sour.
She wants to say something but finally she doesn’t say anything.
She loves Xin Xin, but..... she loves Xiao Guo more......
Zhou Qiao Qiao asks him: “Do you recognize her from the start?”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny it.
Zhou Qiao Qiao cannot understand it: “Xin Xin is younger than you, you guys are too different. She should call you Shu Shu (uncle), how can you .... like a kid?”
Jing Bo Yuan acts calm and says: “There’re some things you cannot control. For example heart, what do you think?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao knows that he implies that she is biased.
“You force Xin Xin to leave me because you are afraid that your son will lose his support. I have a contract here. Read it. If you are happy with it, just sign it.” Jing Bo Yuan says it and passes her a folder.
Zhou Qiao Qiao doesn’t understand his meaning. She flips open the folder and reads it.
Zhou Qiao Qiao is suprised.
“You....... You.....” She cannot form her words.
Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “Are you happy?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao cannot say anything else.
Ye Qing Xin and the nurse wait on the hallway. Ye Qing Xin keeps on looking at the door.
The nurse comforts her, “Your boyfriend is too perfect. He will be able to handle your Ma.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles.
The nurse says again: “I am really jealous at you. Your boyfriend is a successful gentleman. He is handsome and rich. Most important thing he has the charm. If I am like you, I’ll also find that kind of Da Shu (Old uncle) to be my boyfriend, ay.....”
Ye Qing Xin; “......”
After thirty minutes.
The door is opened.
The assistant of Jing Bo Yuan that waits outside, come forward toward him. The unexpected thing is Zhou Qiao Qiao also follows him out. She acts differently.
“Xin Xin, come here.” She waves at her.
Ye Qing Xin comes over.
“Send Bo Yuan down.”
Ye Qing Xin notices Zhou Qiao Qiao’s face turns gentle and full of smile. She feels confused.
Looking at how she still at loss, Zhou Qiao Qiao shakes her hand a bit: “Go, why are you startling?”
Ye Qing Xin goes with Jing Bo Yuan. She just regains herself when the wind blows at her outside the hospital.
She looks at Jing Bo Yuan for a long time: “Are you giving my Ma water of oblivion?”
Jing Bo Yuan laughs and strokes her head.
It’s nearly ten o’clock. The hospital is quiet, theres’s no people around.
The assistant is clever and leaves in advance, he gives space for Jing Bo Yuan and Ye Qing Xin.
They walk side by side.
They passes the corridor between emergency department and outpatient service. It’s dark there.
Ye Qing Xin suddenly feels a hand on her waist.
Then her confusion is just gone.
Jing Bo Yuan hugs her.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t respond and Jing Bo Yuan raises her chin and kisses her.
“Do you miss me today?”
Ye Qing Xin looks at him: “Every time every moment I miss you.....”
Jing Bo Yuan takes her bak and let her back touches the wall.
They kiss and Ye Qing Xin responds his kiss. She hugs his neck too.
“Yi, it’s public space, an offense against decency.” Both of them are kissing that they forget and are unaware of their surrounding.
It’s dark, the man cannot see face.
“Why you mind other people’s business, let’s go!” Another man says.
Ye Qing Xin takes the elevator back to her mother’s room. She looks at the mirror inside the elevator. Her lips is swollen.
The time she returns and pushes the door opens. She notices that Zhou Qiao Qiao is stuffing something under her pillow: “Ma.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao’s smile is somewhat stiff: “It’s late. Go and take shower. Sleep early.”
Ye Qing Xin asks: “What did Bo Yuan say to you?”
“Nothing, after mama met him, I feel that he is good. You need to treasure him.” Zhou Qiao Qiao tries to dodge her gaze.
Ye Qing Xin is startled. What did they talk about? How can it change Zhou Qiao Qiao?
“Ma...” She still wants to ask.
Zhou Qiao Qiao cuts her off: “Xin Xin, he is a good man..... okay, go and take a shower.”
Ye Qing Xin: “........”
The next day, Ye Qing Xin calls Dou Weir to help her to ask for a day off.
Nine o’clock in the morning, Ye Qing Xin meets with several doctors again.
Zhou Qiao Qiao cooperates with them.
They conclude that operation will be to risky and unnecessary. They advise to treat it to delay the life span.
If they treat it well, it can lead her to live for one and half year. But it will be painful.
Ye Qing Xin cannot really accept this, but Zhou Qiao Qiao just accepts it calmly.
After two days, Zhou Qiao Qiao discharges from the hospital and returns to T city.
The time Ye Qing Xin knows about it, Zhou Qiao Qiao has boarded to the train from G province to T City.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the empty sickroom and feels so sad.
“Ma, if you want to leave, why didn’t you tell me?”
“If I tell you, will you agree?”
Ye Qing Xin is silent.
Of course she will not.
Zhou Qiao Qiao says: “I’m already at this stage. So what if I stay there. It’s better for me to spend it back home quietly for the last period of my life. Xin Xin, focus on your study. You need to work had. Wait until I die, I hand over Xiao Guo to you.”
Then she says again: “Xin Xin, I’m sorry.”
She hangs up.
She looks at the window. She remembers seventeen years ago, the time she met Ye Qing Xin.
That time on the way to work, she looked at a crowd of people. She was curious and came over. She looked that there is a three years old girl laid down. She was drenched and pales. She was weak.
That girl is cute, but no one was willing to help her.
Zhou Qiao Qiao looked at it and thought about her a year and half son. Her son was sick and has brain damage. She cannot take care of her son forever.
If, her son has a sister........
Zhou Qiao Qiao is selfish to help and raise that little girl.
Ye Qing Xin always be so obedient and cute. She loves her too.
Ye Qing Xin then calls Song Jiu and asks for help to look at Zhou Qiao Qiao. She asks her to call her if something happens.
Song Jiu agrees.
The time she wants to leave. She bumps into Old Madame Yan. “Xin Xin.”
Ye Qing Xin likes this old grandma.
She comes forward and smiles; “Nai Nai.”
Old Madame Yan is so happy.
“When did you get another granddaughter? She is so pretty.”
Old Madame Yn says proudly: “My granddaughter of course will be pretty.” She says to Ye Qing Xin: “Good kid. Wait for me. Let me greet my friend first. Today you should have no class right. Later on Nai Nai takes you out for stroller.”
She doesn’t wait for her reply, Old Madame Yan just thinks that she agrees. She rushes into 1047 not like a seventy and eight years old Nai Nai.
Ye Qing Xin waits for a while. Old Madame Yan indeed comes out quickly. She takes her to the most luxurious department store.
Old Madame Yan wants to buy her clothes. Of course Ye Qing Xin cannot accept this, she just says that she doesn’t lik eit.
At night.
Old Madame Yan brings her to a restaurant. The waiter greets her: “Old Madame Yan, it’s been a long time.”
Old Madame Yan is so happy: “Today I’ll take my granddaughter over.”
The waiter looks at Ye Qing Xin and compliments her: “Your granddaughter is so beautiful.”
Old Madame Yan is proud: “Of course.”
Ye Qing Xin; “........”
The time they sit down, Jing Bo Yuan calls her.
Jing Bo Yuan asks her whether she has time to dine together.
Ye Qing Xin tells him about her mother and says that she is with Old Madame Yan.
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything more and just tells her to go home early.
Old Madame Yan orders food and suddenly the door is opened. There’s a twenty five or twenty six years old woman comes inside. She looks at Ye Qing Xin. Then she sits down beside Old Madame Yan. “I heard from the waiter, that you are here with your granddaughter. I thought they were talking nonsense, so I come here to see. It’s really grandma, this girl is Xin Xin, that you talked a lot?”
She smiles at Xin Xin: “It’s happy to meet you. I am Gu Qiao, god-granddaughter of Nai Nai
