286 Please Me 8 (2/2)
”Mother said she doesn't want to live anymore, she wants to commit suicide.” Jin Qingyue was obviously shaken; her face had even turned pale.
Jin Qingyan reached out and straightened out her hat. ”She can't bear to die. I'll bet you a dollar on that. If you don't believe me, we'll see tomorrow morning.”
”You… you're sure?”
Jin Qingyan replied, ”Umm. It's getting late, go back to rest.”
”Okay.”
Hearing his reply, Jin Qingyue did not go back into the house, and the three left the old Jin residence.
An Xiaoning returned home and stood on the yoga mat to practice yoga. She had put on a face mask, and Jin Qingyan sat opposite her, imitating the same yoga pose, wearing the same mask on his face as well.
The two looked at each other.
An Xiaoning reminded him, ”Don't move your body unnecessarily, remain stable…”
”Looking at you, my heart can't stay calm.” His deep gaze could almost devour her.
”Jin Qingyan, you're getting better at saying such romantic stuff.”
”You don't like it?”
”I like it.”
Jin Qingyan's face lit up with happiness. ”An Xiaoning, I feel that it's not enough looking at you for the rest of my life.”
”I know I'm quite good-looking, I'm aware of this.”
”Tsk…”
”Am I wrong?”
”No, you've hit right at my heart. It's exactly what I wanted to say.”
He blinked his eyes at her, then straightened his body, letting out a long breath.
”Boss, someone is calling you again!”
”It must be from the police station, help me to pick up the call,” she remarked while staying in her position.
Jin Qingyan took the phone on the table and, seeing that it was a call from Gu Beicheng, he coughed and slid her phone screen to answer. ”Hello.”
”Pass the phone to Xiaoning, I have something to tell her.” When he heard Jin Qingyan's voice, Gu Beicheng's tone sounded unfriendly.
”If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll pass the message for you.”
Gu Beicheng's tone was impatient. ”Pass her the phone quickly, I have something important to tell her.”
”I said, I can pass the message for you. Just tell me.”
An Xiaoning realized that it was probably not someone from the police station, so she got up from her yoga position and snatched the phone from his hands. Seeing that it was a call from Gu Beicheng, she immediately put the phone to her ear. ”Beicheng, it's me.”
”Just now, people guarding the cemetery told me that the person who was on night duty saw a figure before Grandfather's grave. They were scared out of their wits. Xiaoning, can ordinary people see those who've died?”
An Xiaoning frowned. ”That's impossible. Ordinary people can only hear but not see them.”
”Do you have time now? Let's bring some people there to take a look.” Gu Beicheng was rather unassured. ”The people guarding Grandfather's grave are two middle-aged couples. I want to arrange for more people to stand guard. Can you come and see if there is really something there?”
”Alright.”
An Xiaoning had just replied when the man beside her cut in, ”Xiaoning, quick, come and wipe my back.”
