"He’s pretty good!" An Yin replied after listening to the auntie’s account.
The auntie heard the girl’s words, smiled, and then said, "Mr. Bao is quite special towards you!" From Mr. Bao’s instructions over the phone earlier, the auntie could tell.
Having taken care of Mr. Bao for years, the auntie more or less knew that Mr. Bao was soone with a cold deanor and an even colder heart. If it wasn’t soone Mr. Bao cared about, he wouldn’t spend any effort to care for them.
An Yin explained their relationship to the auntie, not wanting others to misunderstand, "Actually, he and I are not that familiar!"
A very soft sound ca from the foyer.
An Yin and the auntie both looked over in that direction.
A tall silhouette appeared there, at this mont he had changed into a pair of gray slippers, standing there with uprightness and dignity.
"Mr. Bao!" The auntie broke the silence and then withdrew to leave the space for them.
The hearts of both the auntie and An Yin tightened, not knowing if he had heard the words "not that familiar".
The large interior was left with just the two of them. An Yin wobbled and trembled as she stood up from the sofa, like a child who had done sothing wrong, watching the man get closer and closer, murmuring, "Brother Shaojin!"
"Since we are not familiar, I’m really not worthy of being called ’Brother’!" Bao Shaojin’s tall figure stopped a ter away from her.
At this mont, the two of them clearly presented a strong and weak contrast.
An Yin, "..."
Before he ca, An Yin had a lot of heartfelt words she wanted to say to him. However, the man’s cold and hard tone, along with his indifferent attitude, left An Yin’s mind blank, and all the words she wanted to say instantly vanished.
There was only one thought in her mind: she had made him angry, and it seed like he was very upset!
An Yin had never tried to appease a man before and didn’t know how to make him calm down. At this mont, she thought about her usual interactions with her mother; if she made her mother angry, how would she calm her down?
An Yin thought perhaps she could try this thod.
An Yin raised her head and t the man’s cold and deep pupils, speaking very slowly, "I’m sorry!"
Her mother used to say that a good child is one who can admit their mistakes and correct them!
"What are you sorry for?" Bao Shaojin slightly parted his thin lips, his gaze like a sharp sword sweeping over her face.
The girl stood there full of fear, her big eyes turning anxiously, and her long eyelashes trembling fiercely, while her delicate face was filled with agitation, indicating she didn’t know what she was apologizing for.
Actually, she wasn’t wrong; their relationship wasn’t really that familiar!
In na, she was Bao Cheng’s girlfriend, having nothing to do with him at all!
Calling him "Brother" along with Bao Cheng only showed that the girl was polite and well-mannered!
"Sorry for..." An Yin stamred for a long ti but couldn’t explain anything.
Bao Shaojin saw her struggling to find words, and the anger within him didn’t subside, as he had witnessed the girl’s capability to irritate people.
"Sit down." Bao Shaojin didn’t continue discussing the topic.
Hearing this, An Yin behaved like a good child, and when she sat down, just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the man’s voice sounded again.
"Tell , why did you take the risk alone to save soone." Bao Shaojin sat down to her right.
He was dressed in a black suit, the white collar of his shirt visible at the neckline. When he tilted his head slightly, his Adam’s apple beca visible in An Yin’s sight, causing her to quickly avert her gaze, feeling her heart pound incessantly.
An Yin realized he really liked wearing black coats; every ti they t, it seed he was dressed in this color. His almost obsessive dressing attitude left An Yin utterly puzzled!
Bao Shaojin noticed the girl seemingly lost in thought, her eyes roving over him without uttering a word, "An Yin!"
Bao Shaojin spoke again, calling her na.
An Yin felt a cold chill down her spine; she had never known her na could sound so... unsettling!
She avoided his gaze, hanging her head in sha, having been caught openly staring at him like a lovestruck fool. At this mont, An Yin wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Recalling his earlier question, An Yin replied without thinking, "Shi Qing didn’t look very sober at that ti!"
"So, your way of saving soone is to put yourself in danger?" Bao Shaojin looked at her coolly.
At tis, he really wanted to pry open her little head to see what was inside.
"I thought... if I just stalled for ti, we could escape once Shi Qing sobered up." An Yin explained her real thoughts when she tried to save soone.
At that ti, there wasn’t much thought to spare, seeing Shi Qing about to be taken to a room by a man, she only wanted to go in and stay with Shi Qing.
Hearing her pure thoughts, Bao Shaojin took a deep breath, his face gradually turning darker.
At this ti, the auntie ca over with a tray from the other side, placing a cup of pre-rain Longjing tea on the coffee table in front of Bao Shaojin, and another cup of freshly squeezed orange juice for An Yin. After putting down the items, the auntie felt a bizarre atmosphere between the two.
The auntie sneakily glanced at the girl, noticing she kept her head down the whole ti. The auntie put away her worried look and quietly exited the hall.
The tea in front of Bao Shaojin was still steaming, drifting above the rim of the cup.
"Escape?" Bao Shaojin latched onto the word.
"Yes." An Yin nodded without thinking much.
"Then what about the plea-for-help video?" From what she just said, it was easy to deduce that the girl was only thinking about how to escape. So what about the video call she sent voluntarily?
Without waiting for her answer, Bao Shaojin felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
"When I was holding the phone, I accidentally touched the screen, and sohow it dialed to you..." An Yin said animatedly, lifting her head to see him squinting with a sinister face, exuding an overwhelming cold aura.
At this mont, An Yin suddenly realized, did she say sothing wrong again?
"So, from the very beginning, you never intended to ask for help?" A subtle and complex emotion flashed through Bao Shaojin’s dark pupils, making him appear quite eerie and terrifying.
Only An Yin, not adept at observing hearts, failed to notice the approaching danger and continued blurting out insouciantly, "Yes."
After An Yin said this, Bao Shaojin’s face gradually darkened.
He shouldn’t have co over; this girl was simply sent by the heavens to annoy him! Not even willing to utter a kind-hearted lie, she bluntly told him that the video sent during a crisis was rely an accident from touching the phone screen...
