"Are you not able to sleep?"
Recognizing the voice, Jiang Yang spoke without turning to look at the person, "Nope! But why are you still awake, Yuyan?"
Jiang Yuyan stepped in her brother's direction with the water bottle in her hand, "I woke up to drink water and through the window, I happened to notice you." Having few sips of water from the bottle she offered it to him, "Want some?"
"Thank you" saying it, he accepted the bottle and drank some of the water.
Once he was done, Jiang Yuyan stood up next to him and asked while looking at the starry sky, just as him, "So, what happened to keep my brother awake at this hour of the night?"
Jiang Yang inhaled deeply, "Nothing much. Just felt like to have fresh air," He replied.
"Since when, you started to lie to me, brother?"
Jiang Yang smiled to hear it and said, "You are getting smarter now, little sis."
"I was always smart. Now tell me the truth," She asked not minding to his diverting remark.
Jiang Yang moved his sight across the sky as he was in deep thought, "I kissed her today."
Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan looked at her brother, "Nixxxie?" It was obvious for her to know, whom he was talking about.
"Hmm!" He nodded.
"Then?" She was still looking at her brother who turned his head to look at her and answered her curiousness, "Nothing. Just kissed."
"Does she like you too?" Jiang Yuyan asked looking in his eyes.
He nodded, "I guess, yes!"
"That's nice to hear." Both looked at the sky with smiles on their faces.
In a while, Jiang Yuyan asked again, "How was it?"
"What? A kiss?" He asked.
"Hmm!" she nodded.
Jiang Yang remembered the kiss and replied, "It was different from the kisses those I had with other girls."
"Different?" She couldn't understand it.br>"With other girls, it was more like a need of a body but with her, it was not like that. Instead, It was a need of my heart." He replied.
Giving out a deep sigh, Jiang Yuyan said, "Finally, my brother is in true love."
"I think so too and I never imagined it feels like this." He had a pleasant smile on his face.
"I can feel you, brother."
Both stood there talking for a while, enjoying a cool breeze and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day was a Saturday and it was off day for Jiang Yang and the day when Jiang Peizhi and Jiang Ruolan were leaving China. He wanted to go to the hospital just to see Nixxxie, once but as his parents were going back, he decided to spend time with them.
That day, Nixxxie was waiting for him to visit her mother but again, another doctor came for the follow up of her mother. Before she could ask anything, the doctor spoke, "Today is Saturday and the doctor Jiang Yang's off day so I am here to take care of the things."
Nixxxie nodded as she realized, she forgot, it was his off day. Having unhappy expressions on her face, she sat on the couch and let the doctor do his work. In her heart, she was hoping to see Jiang Yang as she was used to seeing him and there was a silent conversation between them through their sights, though there were no words. It was like both were happy by just seeing each other.
Slowly her mother was getting better and she started to talk too. Once the doctor left the room, her mother looked at her and noticed her daughter was sad. in her weak voice she called her daughter, "Nicky!"
Nixxxie heard her mother and went to her, "Are you feeling alright mother?"
"Hmm!" she nodded and signaled Nixxxie to sit beside her.
Sitting on the edge of the bed of her mother, she asked, "What happened mother?"
"What happened to you? You look upset," Her mother asked staring straight in her eyes, seeking the answer in her daughter's eyes instead of in her words.
"I am fine, mother. I was just feeling a bit low, nothing much," Nixxxie replied to assure her mother.
Her mother didn't stress the thing much but she knew her daughter well and understood, something was not right with her. For some time she decided to just stay quiet and look out for her precious daughter.
"Those people. Have they visited here?" her mother asked to which Nixxxie nodded.
"What did they say?"
"Nothing much but I said that I will take care of you and they don't have to bother themselves with you," Nixxxie replied.
"You did well." Saying it, her mother closed her eyes as she was still weak and needed a rest. Nixxxie let her mother rest and went back to her place. Sitting there she couldn't help but miss the person whom she was waiting for.
At Jing residence...
Lu Qiang, Lu Feng went to Jiang's residence as Jiang Yang's parents were leaving soon and these two were invited for lunch.
It was a chance for Lu Qiang and Lu Feng to get an update on Jiang Yang as there was nothing special they got to know about him through San Zemin other than the fact that Jiang Yang operated on Nixxxie's mother and as a doctor, he was doing his work. There was nothing more San Zemin could tell them.
Lu Qiang and Lu Feng reached Jiang residence. Jiang Yuyan was happy to see Lu Qiang there as much as he was to see her.
When all were sitting on the sofa, Jiang Yang said to see the happiness on his sister's face, "Control your happiness Yuyan, we know you are very happy to see him here."
Moving a bit closer to Lu Qiang, she replied, "Is it wrong to be happy to see him?" Lu Qiang circled his hands around her shoulder.
"When did I say it's wrong? See how much I am happy to see my darling here." Saying it he winked at Lu Feng.
"Don't call me your darling, when you are planning to betray me," said Lu Feng
