Jing Qian rolled out of bed and fled. He darted into the bathroom to deal with his stiff, hard rod.
The moment the bathroom closed, Xiang Yi Mo’s eyes snapped open.
The hard object in between her legs just now was…
In her previous life and her current life, after nearly thirty years of living, she knew exactly what it was!
Instantly, her body was like a boiled shrimp.
Her whole body was curled up. A thin flush surfaced on her face, and then she heard a few soft and low gasps coming from the bathroom. All of a sudden, her tiny face turned even redder.
Xiao Qi : 「Host, what a great opportunity it was just now.」
Xiang Yi Mo : Shut up! I have my own plans.
In the interval between the two’s exchanges, Xiang Yi Mo heard the system broadcast that Jing Qian’s love value had increased by another five points.
This time, counting the ten points from last night, the total accumulated to 55.
Looking at how she collected half of his affection, Xiang Yi Mo was lost in thought, and an explicable feeling was slowly seeping into her heart, unnoticed.
Time passed in her daze until she heard the bathroom door open.
Xiang Yi Mo retracted from her thoughts, sat up and acted as if she had just woken up. She assumed the posture of someone who had just woken up and was still a little sleepy.
Jing Qian washed up before coming out. His eyes just happened to meet the eyes of Xiang Yi Mo, who was stared at him in confusion.
“You’re awake?” He spoke very indifferently, with a faintly perceptible tinge of guilt.
“Why is Mr Jing…” Xiang Yi Mo’s adorable little eyebrows furrowed as if wondering why he was here.
He paused. As if she remembered something, he resumed speaking, “I passed out? I had troubled Mr Jing, oh no, it is Dr Jing, to take care of me for the whole night.”
The sense of detachment in her words was like a splash of cold water on his throbbing heart. The vaguely uncomfortable feeling from last night resurfaced.
“It’s no trouble.” Jing Qian stopped moving for a while as his eyes became sombre. “Mo Mo, we haven’t seen each other for a few years. Do you have to be so unfamiliar with me?”
In those youthful days, before Jing Qian left the country, she had often followed Qin Chu to meet Jing Qian and the other two since Xiang Yi Mo was practically the little tail behind Qin Chu.
Since she called Qin Chu “Elder Brother Chu”, she naturally had to call the other three, who were close to Qin Chu, “Elder Brother” as well.
Although they saw each other often, they didn’t have any further contact with them privately because Qin Chu was the only one in Xiang Yi Mo’s eyes. Later on, they went their separate ways as they grew up and became busier with their respective studies and careers.
Jing Qian went abroad to study, Lu Wang Chen joined the army, and Ji Heng Yu’s parents died in an accident. The Ji family was in turmoil, and Ji Heng Yu was concurrently as busy as a gyroscope with his studies and the family business.
As a result, the four best friends met less frequently, let alone meeting Xiang Yi Mo.
Thus, she didn’t know those three very well. Now, they were even more distant, at least for Xiang Yi Mo.
“Even in the past, I was not very familiar with Mr Jing, right?” Xiang Yi Mo tilted her head. “Not to mention we’ve barely seen each other since Mr Jing went overseas.”
“We did.” Jing Qian looked at her for a split second.
“Hm?” This time, Xiang Yi Mo was really puzzled.
In the next second, a series of dates were indifferently uttered from Jing Qian’s beautiful thin lips. “I’ve seen you at all those banquets and several charity auctions.”
You only chase after Qin Chu’s figure whenever I look into your eyes.
Xiang Yi Mo’s tiny mouth opened slightly, and she fixed her eyes on him.
It had never occurred to her that Jing Qian had remembered all of the parties her parents had brought her to even though she herself had forgotten about them.
Although she wasn’t sure why Jing Qian remembered those small details, she was still a little happy.
It turned out that such an outstanding person unconsciously and subtly noticed her in a place she could not see.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand where the 40 points of affection she had seen Jing Qian show for herself had come from.
Xiang Yi Mo tried hard not to reveal her secret joy in front of Jing Qian at this moment.
She raised her hand to her lips, coughed lightly twice in order to conceal her emotions, and maintained her composure, “I don’t remember much about the activities Mr Jing mentioned, except that….”
“Mr Jing, why do you remember so well?” She seized the opportunity and innocently inquired.
