The imperceptible approaching of Xia Jinyuan made Ye Jian get gooseb.u.mps. She was uncomfortable with this kind of close contact.

A pair of dry and big hands had reached over. Ye Jian pursed her lips, ignoring their distance. Her slender fingers gently touched his long fingers, forming the hand signals.

“Understand?” he asked gently as he withdrew his hands. He was so close that he was breathing next to her ear.

His breath was light, with a faint smell of mint.

Unaccustomed to the aggressive masculine smell, Ye Jian held her breath and tilted her head to avoid it. Pulling up Doctor Zhou who was squatting with her, she said in a soft voice, “Auntie, I’m going to knock. I might need to trouble you later.”

“All right, be careful,” said Doctor Zhou, who had sensed the presence of another person, but couldn’t see him clearly due to the darkness. Anyway, she felt much calmer.

Ye Jian raised her hands, knocking on the shutter door. “Who is the patient that needs my mom’s treatment? Where is he? Why is the door locked? We are leaving if no one is here.”

She raised her voice, adding, “Mom, let’s go. Uncle Youde must be drunk and joking with us.”

Footsteps sounded from the previously silent lobby. First, the gla.s.s door inside was opened. And then, as the shutter door was pulled upward, a man appeared.

“What’s going on? Is there a patient or not?!” spoke Doctor Zhou, emitting the smell of ethanol all over. “How can I see the patient during the blackout? Do you have candles or flashlights?”

As she spoke, Ye Jian had been walking towards the hotel. “It is so dark here. You should see the patient when Uncle Youde is back with the candles he bought,” said Ye Jian.

Perhaps it was too dark for Ye Jian to see clearly, she tripped over something, falling onto the man standing still as a gatekeeper.
