538 Miracles
"I still think there is sothing wrong with this picture."
Ying had been staring at the photo of her with Han Bohai. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't tell what was wrong. But in her heart, she knew sothing was wrong for sure!
In fact, there was nothing wrong with the photo. Han Bohai had asked to click a photo but Ying refused to cooperate with him. So, they stood side by side as if taking an official photo or sothing. Finding this wrong, Han Bohai suddenly called her na and Ying turned her head to look up at him. But what she found was him looked down at her with a smile that even was reflected in his eyes.
Ying didn't even realize that she felt dazed when she found him staring at her with such an expression. Han Bohai took this dazed mont of hers as his opportunity to click the photo. Needless to say, he was very pleased with it as well.
After all, the photo gave a very warm and pleasant feeling to anyone who saw it. More importantly, he couldn't get over the unconscious gentleness that flashed through Ying's eyes.
Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he said, "You're overthinking again. There is nothing wrong with it!"
Ying swatted his hand away and made so distance between them which clearly wasn't appreciated. "Why are you hanging around ?"
"Because I like it," answered Han Bohai.
"Don't you have work?"
Han Bohai shook his head, "Nope. Today, I'm absolutely free!"
"Even if you're free, I am not."
"I won't disturb you," Han Bohai hurriedly said.
"But I can't work with you around," replied Ying with a bit of annoyance in her tone.
Han Bohai pouted, "How will you get used to it if you didn't try it?"
"Do I have to get used to it?" inquired Ying.
Han Bohai hugged her arm and leaned against her saying, "Yes, you have to. Don't you rember? I told you I'm clingy!"
Ying stared at him for a long ti before deciding to take him back to her place. It was already obvious she couldn't shake him for this day so she could only take him back to a place where she won't have to be vigilant about his fans!
....
When she got out of the elevator at her floor, she was greeted by Nora, "Hi, Ying Jie!"
Ying gave her a glance before asking, "Xiu is not around. I didn't expect to see you here."
Nora laughed softly, "I ca to get sothing. Now, I have to rush out since Young Master Dylan is whining over the phone."
"Best of luck for that," said Ying before turning to open the door.
Nora only gave her a nod and turned to leave. However, she couldn't help giving another curious glance to the person standing behind Ying. Although he wore a mask and glasses, Nora could tell that he was a dashing man.
She dropped the envelope in her hand on the coffee table carelessly.
"You can sit anywhere you like," said Ying before she stepped over to find a change of clothes for herself. "Oh, and you can drink whatever you like from the fridge."
Han Bohai comfortably took off his jacket along with his mask and shades. As he placed the shades at the coffee table, he noticed plenty of docunts scattered on the table. However, he didn't pay attention to it.
Ying's apartnt gave him a very cold feeling for so reason. Perhaps, it was because he couldn't find a single family photo. Or maybe it was because it gave off a very lonely vibe. Whichever it was, he didn't feel good about it.
Moving over to the fridge when he opened it, he was shocked. Except for water bottles, the only drink he found was; Banana milk! He couldn't help looking over at Ying who ca out in a loose t-shirt and trousers. She really didn't seem like soone who would love banana milk so much.
His eyes followed her as she ca to sit on the couch and pulled up her legs to sit cross-legged before taking the envelope from the coffee table and checking it's content. Seeing her sighing for a long ti, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"Do you believe in miracles?"
Han Bohai was stunned to hear her question and didn't know how he should answer this. Or why she was even asking it out of nowhere. "Why? You don't believe in miracles?"
"I'm an archaeologist. I believe in every possibility even the ones science can't prove."
"Then why are you asking about this? Whether I believe in miracles or not, should not affect your belief."
"I'm just casually asking. Can't you casually answer?"
Seeing her getting impatient, he decided to be honest, "No. I stopped believing in miracles."
"Why?"
He averted his eyes and said, "Soone I knew believed in miracles passionately. However, she never t that miracle. Instead, she was greeted with tragedy. Once my belief in miracles ca from her and later, it went with her departing soul as well."
As if getting the crux of his words, she questioned, "Is she dead?" His eyes dimd but he still nodded his head. "I'm sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine your pain of losing your first love like that."
Han Bohai's face twitched as he repeated, "First love?"
Ying patted his shoulder with an understanding look, "I understand you."
He poked her head saying, "Stop twisting my words. The one who made believe in miracles was my Sister Xiu. Although I did love her, it was just brotherly love. Nothing more."
"Sister... Xiu?" Ying's couldn't help picking out the na in everything he said.
"Yes, my Sister Xiu. Chen Xiu."
