890 A Million Times for You 252 (1/2)
”Alright.”
An Xiaoning did not let the cat out of the bag at all. She decided to affirm and reassure him more often from now onward.
What's the harm in telling him my true feelings and thoughts if that could give him a greater sense of security?
He's my man anyway, it won't matter if I let him know.
I will help him overcome this.
…
Staring at Fan Shixin, who was standing as straight as a ruler, Jin Qingyan asked, ”Throughout the past few days… did my second personality take over again?”
”Yes,” Fan Shixin answered with a nod.
”Did I do anything outrageous and unacceptable?”
Fan Shixin answered, ”I've checked all the surveillance camera footages. You didn't do anything else, apart from drinking with a woman and groping her thighs and hands.”
Jin Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief and said, ”Good to hear.”
”However, you held a woman in your arms and entered a private room together with her. I reckon you were planning to get intimate with her. Fortunately… we managed to get there in time.”
With a look of dismay and uneasiness, Jin Qingyan asked, ”Did I do anything suspicious when Xiaoning arrived at midnight yesterday?”
”No, Young Madam arrived right after we cleaned you up.”
”Did I really get the bruises on my face from missing a step and falling down the stairs?”
”Yes…”
”How was I so silly… I had such a terrible fall just by going down the stairs,” he remarked, placing a hand on his forehead.
Fan Shixin's eyelids twitched. How would Young Sir react if he finds out that Young Madam was the one who caused the injuries on his face?
”Since I've already settled everything here, there's no need to continue staying around. Shixin, arrange for us to board a flight home this evening.”
”Yes, Young Sir.”
Jin Qingyan waited for him to leave before standing in front of the window alone, staring out at the gray and gloomy skies. Deep in thought, he seemed to have slipped into a trance.

Ever since Shi Bao'er arrived at the boot camp, she had been feeling like she was put through cruel torture every single day. She would cry and weep, although it didn't bring about any change at all.
Wen Yuechan was the only one who comforted her, after which the two became friends.
They would eat together, train together, leave together after dismissal, and soon became inseparable.
Long Xiaoxi was indifferent and nonchalant toward this because they were both people she detested.
She resented Wen Yuechan much more than she resented Shi Bao'er.
Long Xiaoxi's face would grow sullen whenever she saw Wen Yuechan.
At the same time, the duo detested Long Xiaoxi as well.
They were at odds with each other.
When Wen Yuechan returned to the dormitory after having lunch, she overheard Wen Yuechan complaining when she reached the door.
”Long Xiaoxi has Yiheng and her brother around to back her up. She's also on very good terms with Ji Gui. Bao'er, if it weren't for you, I would have been discriminated and alienated here,” Wen Yuechan lamented.
”You're so pitiful. Are you actually afraid of that fatty Long Xiaoxi? I can send her flying to outer space with just one punch. Long Wenlun is her biological brother, of course he's going to be kind to her. Jin Yiheng is her godbrother too. It's only normal that he's nice to her. As for Ji Gui, well, it's not surprising that he'd play with her since he's such a dimwit. After all, birds of the same feather flock together,” Shi Bao'er remarked in contempt.
Long Xiaoxi could not tolerate it any further and stormed into the dormitory. ”Sis Bao'er, you're right, birds of the same feather do flock together. The fact that you two don't hang out with the rest of us just means that you don't belong with us. So why are you still here?”
”Do you think I wanted to be here? Long Xiaoxi, you're not allowed to bully Yuechan from now on, you hear me!?!” Shi Bao'er warned, riding on her high horse of being the eldest amongst the children.
Pursing her lips, Long Xiaoxi retorted, ”Who's the one getting bullied here?”
”Bao'er, don't say too much to her. If she decides to cook up stories and tell on us to Yiheng, it's going to become my fault again.”
Shi Bao'er gave Long Xiaoxi the side eye and scoffed, ”Let her go ahead and tell on us. I'm not afraid of her at all.”
Long Xiaoxi pinched her fingers and turned around to leave.
