523 On Her Stakes (1/2)
It was midnight and Ying was finally able to fall asleep. From the moment she came back, her mind had been involuntarily thinking about Han Bohai and she couldn't understand why. Perhaps, it was because he was paying so much attention to her. Or was it because he was so open, sincere, and real about his feelings. He never talked in a roundabout way.
She couldn't even believe that now she had no problem with his eyes constantly staring at her. It bothered her at first but now, she somehow came to like the way his eyes followed her around and looked for only her in a crowd.
Ying wasn't the kind of person to jump to conclusions. So, she wasn't willing to name these feelings for now. Since his presence allowed her to be herself. She didn't have to think of ways to impress at all. Because the idiot was already impressed to the point that he made it really difficult for her. He might be the first person she didn't even try to impress in her life.
While thinking about how unhealthy it was for her to keep thinking about him, she finally managed to sleep. Who knew it won't be for long.
She hadn't been asleep even for an hour when she felt like someone sat beside her on the bed. She had always been vigilant, this much of motion around her was enough to wake her up. She abruptly sat up and locked the arm of the intruder behind.
”Where is my cane?!”
Ying bit her tongue and instantly let go before turning the lights on. Sure enough! There was her grandmother staring her down furiously.
Ying grinned awkwardly and waved, ”Hi, gummy bear! What's up!”
She was gonna hug her when she heard her grandmother's loud voice, ”I asked for my cane!”
Let us clear something for you. Yan Ying's grandmother, Shania Chuan didn't need a cane to walk. She could walk perfectly without a cane at this age. What she needed the cane for was...
”Gummy bear, you can't possibly beat me at this age. I'm turning 30 now,” Ying sounded aggrieved when she saw one of her grandmother's people passing her cane to her. Crawling backward, she added, ”I was wrong. Please, don't!”
Seeing her expressions, her grandmother squinted her eyes, ”So, you do realize that you're turning 30? And yet you have time to play around?” Ying lowered her head as she kneeled on the bed obediently like a kid who had really done something wrong. This was the woman Ying wouldn't dare to argue with. Yan Ying had never been scared of anyone except for her grandmother.
Although her grandmother loved her and pampered her a lot, it never really stopped her from disciplining Ying as well. The only person who would dare to beat Ying was her grandmother, Shania.
”You almost broke my old bones.”
”It's not like you missed me,” replied grandmother Shania.
Cautiously, Ying slipped close to her and rubbed her face against her shoulder saying, ”Of course, I missed my gummy bear. How can I possibly not?”
Her grandmother's expressions softened as she saw her granddaughter acting cute which was very rare. She stroked Ying's head as she said, ”How are you?”
”I'm as awesome as always,” replied Ying.
