– 第一人民医院( dì yī rén mín yī yuàn )- First People’s Hospital, the hospital Jing Qian works in.
In the department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of First People’s Hospital, Jing Qian, who was sitting in the consultation room, stood upright. He changed out of his white coat and wore back his casual clothes. He walked over to the table and picked up his mobile phone.
His mobile phone screen just happened to light up.
Jing Qian lowered his eyes and swept a faint glance over. It was Qin Chu sending him the address of Xiang Yi Mo’s residence as well as…
【The gate to the courtyard of Mo Mo’s villa can be unlocked by a pin. The pin is 242513. The gate to the villa can only be keyed except for fingerprints. I will send a message to her to open the door when the time comes.】
242513?
Jing Qian’s brain moved quickly, and he instantly thought of the corresponding three letters—
XYM, Xiang Yi Mo.
His lips curled up slightly.
The little girl has set the passcode so well.
Jing Qian arrived at the compound of Baishui Yuntian and drove to the courtyard of Xiang Yi Mo’s residence.
He entered the passcode, and the courtyard gate opened automatically. Then, he parked the car and sent a message to Qin Chu saying that he had arrived.
Meanwhile, Qin Chu received the message and dialled Xiang Yi Mo’s number so that she would mistake it for his arrival and opened the door for him.
“Elder Brother Chu has arrived? I’ll be right there.” The soft voice sounded a little happy. “Actually, there’s a spare key under the carpet at the door. Elder Brother Chu can just open the door and come in.”
Qin Chu hung up the call and told Jing Qian about the spare key as well.
As expected, Jing Qian obtained the spare key from under the carpet.
As he opened the villa door and walked in, he looked up to see a petite figure coming down from the stairs, running towards the door and running towards him…
No, to be precise, she wanted to run towards Qin Chu.
It’s such a pity that she is destined to be disappointed.
Jing Qian thought.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
One second, and then another second passed.
Only to see the little girl’s movements slow down as he expected. In the soulful eyes, joy gradually went stagnant.
Jing Qian thought that Xiang Yi Mo reacted this way because she found out that the person that came was not Qin Chu, while Xiang Yi Mo was shocked by the private inquiry of Jing Qian’s initial Love Value.
Xiang Yi Mo was a little surprised. ‘Xiao Qi, Jing Qian’s Love Value for me is 40. Did you make a mistake?’
「No, please don’t doubt this system. 」
Oh, if the system is correct…
Xiang Yi Mo really couldn’t understand.
In her opinion, she and Jing Qian had not had much interaction, and Jing Qian was an ascetic and aloof person, so he should be the most difficult person to get along with.
Forget it. What is the point of thinking about it?
She retracted from her thoughts. Xiang Yi Mo stopped a few steps away from Jing Qian and glanced behind him without hope.
Sure enough, there was no else.
As if recognising this fact, she sulked like a little abandoned kitten.
“Why are you here? Where’s Elder Brother Chu?”
Xiang Yi Mo showed a look of disappointment.
Jing Qian measured her with his eyes for an instant and his thin lips slightly opened. “Qin Chu told me that you were sick and asked me to come to check on you.”
“I want Elder Brother Chu.” Xiang Yi Mo stuck out her lips.
An unsurprising answer.
Jing Qian knew how much this young lady of the Xiang family liked Qin Chu. However, Jing Qian wasn’t the only one who knew that.
“Qin Chu said you should see a doctor if you are sick. He’s not a doctor, so it’s useless for him to come.”
The man’s voice was clear and cold, like a pearl falling onto a plate.
It sounded in Xiang Yi Mo’s ears. Her eyes gradually became watery and foggy. It was as if she was some kind of pitiful injured deer.
Upon seeing this, Jing Qian’s heart softened for no reason.
He felt as if this little deer had hit his heart in that instant. Unexpectedly, he was unable to maintain the usual cold demeanour he usually had towards others.
There it was again, the indescribable feeling.
He changed into slippers, walked over to the little girl, and asked patiently, “Where do you feel discomfort? Let me take a look for you.”
Upon hearing that, she smiled self-mockingly. “No need. I’m not sick. I’m faking it. It’s all for the sake of luring Elder Brother Chu here.”
The man saw the stubbornness and loneliness in Xiang Yi Mo’s eyes as she spoke.
This caused his heart to stir again.
Then, he heard her say, “Mr Jing, you can go back and tell him that.”
Jing Qian frowned as a strange discomfort crept up in his chest because of the young girl’s words.
He didn’t even notice that he was subconsciously comparing her calling Qin Chu ‘Elder Brother Chu’ with her address to him ‘Mr Jing’. It seemed extraordinarily distant and painful to the ear, even though how he addressed her was actually quite logical.
Jing Qian pursed his lips.
He was just about to say something when he saw the little girl’s body in front of him swaying, and her entire body slumped down in his direction.
“Xiang Yi Mo!”
The man took three steps and caught Xiang Yi Mo, who was almost about to have a close encounter with the ground.
Immediately, the fragrance that belonged to Xiang Yi Mo, an unmistakable and ethereal aroma, rushed into his nostrils, winding up and haunting his every nerve.
