Yu Jing had disappeared for almost a week.
Ming Shu finally gave some reaction. She grabbed Peng Pai who came to the bar to get some free drinks. “Where is your boss?”
“I don’t know. I can’t contact him.”
“… Aren’t you worried?”
Peng Pai scratched his head. He didn’t notice anything wrong. “Erm… Boss would disappear sometimes so it’s normal.”
Ming Shu: “…” Normal your head!
“Where does he live?”
Peng Pai replied, “Most of the time, he stays with us. Sometimes, he’ll go out. He hasn’t been back for a while.”
“Where is his other home?”
Peng Pai shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Ming Shu: “…” If I had a sidekick like you, I would have killed you. You don’t even know where your boss is.
Peng Pai thought about something. “Ertong might know, he sent something to the boss before. Let me ask him.”
However, Ertong said that he just sent the thing to a bus stop and Yu Jing went to pick it up himself. He didn’t know where Yu Jing stayed.
Ming Shu: “…”
Ming Shu walked out of the bar and took out her cellphone. She opened her WeChat.
Heir of a billion-dollar nightclub: Where are you?
Yu Jing: Why are you looking for me?
Ming Shu could feel the malicious aura from the words alone.
She shivered but continued to tease him.
Heir of a billion dollar nightclub: Based on the contract, you need to have a performance at least once a week. If you break the agreement, you need to pay the fine. Do you have a lot of money?
Yu Jing: The contract said that the band will play once a week. Look for Peng Pai.
Heir of a billion dollar nightclub: …
Heir of a billion dollar nightclub: Where are you? If you don’t tell me, you can forget about coming to the bar again!
Yu Jing hesitantly shared his location with her.
Ming Shu came to an apartment based on the location. She needed the owner’s invitation to go in, but Yu Jing didn’t tell her his room number.
The security didn’t allow Ming Shu to go in.
Ming Shu sent a message to Yu Jing. He didn’t reply.
Impressive.
In the end… Ming Shu climbed over the wall.
Nothing could stop a villain boss!
The question now was…
Which block does he stay in?
Ming Shu was irritated. She suppressed her impatience and sent a message.
Heir of a billion dollar nightclub: Room number?
Yu Jing: 2-23-1
Block 2, 23rd floor, room number 1?
Ming Shu realized that this district was designed in an interesting manner. Block 2 was right at the back. It was the furthest from the main gate. She walked in circles before finding the block.
After finding the room, she knocked on the door.
A few seconds later, someone opened it.
Yu Jing stood at the door. He wore a simple T-shirt and his hair was wet. He seemed to have just finished his bath. His face was still slightly red from the steam.
Water dripped down his hair and landed on his collarbone. It slid down his T-shirt.
“Why are you here?” Yu Jing was unfriendly.
Ming Shu smiled. “If you didn’t want me to come, why did you tell me your house number?”
Yu Jing pretended to close the door. His expression told Ming Shu that he was giving her a second chance to organize her words.
Ming Shu blocked the door with her hand and said, “I came to see if you were dead. As the boss, I can help contact the crematory for you.”
“Get out!”
Ming Shu still managed to enter the house even though Yu Jing was furious.
They sat opposite each other on the sofa. “Why did you come and look for me?”
“To see if you were still alive.”
“Are you done?” Yu Jing’s mouth corners twitched. “Are you disappointed that I’m not dead?”
“Yes.”
Yu Jing: “…” F**k.
“Since you’ve seen me, you can leave now… cough, cough…” Yu Jing suddenly started coughing.
Ming Shu raised her head. The redness on his face hadn’t subsided.
Ming Shu got up and touched his forehead. Yu Jing froze.
“You have a fever?”
Ming Shu felt his wet hair against the back of her hand. “Where is the blowdryer?”
Yu Jing didn’t have the energy to reply Ming Shu. All he could feel was her hand on his forehead.
Ming Shu looked down on him. Yu Jing suddenly cursed, “F**k.”
He grabbed Ming Shu’s hand and pulled her toward him. He hugged Ming Shu with his warm body. “I like you.”
He tried to keep calm and ignore this weird feeling.
However, when he saw her message, he couldn’t control himself anymore.
The moment she touched him, his body turned warm.
He wanted her.
Yu Jing’s breath landed beside Ming Shu’s ear. It was hot. “Qiao Qi, I like you.”
Ming Shu remained silent for a moment. “So, where is the blowdryer?”
Yu Jing: “…”
I’m confessing!
What reaction is this?
Why are you still asking about the blowdryer?!
One minute later…
Yu Jing obediently sat on the sofa as Ming Shu blew his hair with the dryer.
Her fingers passed through his soft hair. They touched his skin. Yu Jing swallowed.
There was a buzzing sound in his ear. Yu Jing grabbed Ming Shu’s fingers. The next moment, he released them in a flurry and crossed his arms in front of him.
Ming Shu was puzzled. What is he doing?
She blew his hair dry and returned the dryer to its original location. Yu Jing coughed again.
“Do you have medicine?”
Yu Jing might be experiencing the aftermath of confessing. He didn’t know what he should say so he raised his hand and pointed at the dining table.
Ming Shu looked at the instructions on the medicine before pouring a cup of water and handing it to Yu Jing.
When Yu Jing took the medicine, he touched Ming Shu’s hand. The two of them stilled for a moment. Ming Shu moved away first.
“Just now… what is your reply?” Yu Jing didn’t eat his medicine. He looked at Ming Shu.
“What reply?” Ming Shu smiled. “I don’t like you. What reply can I give you?”
Yu Jing’s hand shook when he heard Ming Shu’s reply.
Yes, if she likes me, she would have admitted to kissing me.
He put the medicine in his mouth and gulped it down with water. One piece of medicine got stuck in his throat. The bitter taste seemed to spread to his heart.
“However, I don’t have anyone that I like. Hence, I can be together with you.”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Yu Jing choked on water. Just now, the medicine made his throat bitter but now, he could taste the bitterness on his tongue too.
However, he ignored it. He raised his head and looked at Ming Shu. “What did you say?”
Ming Shu shrugged. “I will not say it twice.”
She could be together with him… Did that mean that she accepted his proposal?
Although…
She said that she didn’t like him, well, that was all right.
She would like him sooner or later.
The bitterness in his mouth turned sweet.
He put his cup down and stood up. He looked into Ming Shu’s eyes. “Did you kiss me that day?”
Ming Shu denied it naturally. “You were drunk. You remembered it wrongly.”
Why is he still talking about this?
Yu Jing smiled. “So I remember it wrong?”
He reached out suddenly and grabbed Ming Shu’s chin. He kissed her and then touched Ming Shu’s lips with his tongue. The soft feeling made him want to go further.
