Mr. Jin, love to foul

Chapter 61 Su Mier Injured

"No, I'll go to the guest room to wash!" Jiang Manyin interrupted him directly.

I'm afraid he will say, come in and wash together.

"Then you go to the guest room to wash." Jin Nanci smiled.

Jiang Manyin turned around and left the bathroom without hesitation for a moment. When she came back from taking a shower in the guest room, Jin Nanci had already taken a shower and was lying on the bed, not wearing a nightgown, just a towel around his waist, just lying there casually , The slender and strong figure really makes it easy for people to want to commit crimes.

"Nan, Nanci, why aren't you wearing a nightgown?" Jiang Manyin tried hard to control her emotions before she dared to walk to the bed.

"I dragged the nightgown into the bathtub and got wet, so I had to wrap it around the bath towel first." Jin Nanci casually found a reason, as if what he said was true.

Jiang Manyin did not hesitate, and believed in his choice.

"Manman, if you feel inconvenient and need me to wear a nightgown, please bring me another one." Jin Nanci saw Jiang Manyin's blushing face and knew what she was thinking.

What makes her feel inconvenient.

She didn't find it inconvenient, on the contrary, she liked to see his figure.

What I'm most afraid of is that if I can't hold myself back for a while, it's not a good thing.

"No, no need, it's comfortable to wear less to sleep." Jiang Manyin tried her best to calm her voice, although she was a little fidgety inside.

If she wants him to wear some kind of nightgown now, it seems that she is needless to worry.

"Manman, come and sleep, it's getting late." Jin Nanci saw all the subtle changes on her face, pretending to be calm was a good performance.

Jiang Manyin let out a heavy breath, then went around to the other side.

Jin Nanci's body had a refreshing smell after bathing and a faint smell of bath liquid, which made Jiang Manyin's heart flutter again.

He reached out and pulled the quilt to cover him.

"Nanci, don't catch a cold." After Jiang Manyin finished speaking, she lay down and turned off the light.

In the dark night, only a little moonlight, silvery moonlight, seeps through the curtains.

However, Jiang Manyin couldn't fall asleep anyway. When she thought about the relationship between the two of them before, she was the one who rushed him, and the kiss from the car just now, and now the man was lying half naked behind her. Nengxinwuhe wants to sleep peacefully.

If there hadn't been such an intimate thing before, she could really treat him as a stranger, and the two of them were just a marriage partnership.

But now... how could he be completely a stranger who hadn't happened.

Jiang Manyin thought she could do it, but now it seems that she can't do it at all.

"Manman, can't sleep?" Jin Nanci looked at the girl next to her who was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep under the faint moonlight, and became worried.

"A little bit, probably because I ate too much, did I disturb you?" Jiang Manyin casually gave such a reason.

It just sucks.

Jin Nanci hooked the corners of his mouth, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "Shall I rub it for you?"

"Knead?" Jiang Manyin was stunned for a moment.

Before realizing whether the kneading he said was the kneading she thought, a warm and generous hand landed on her lower abdomen accurately, gently rubbing clockwise.

The movement is very gentle, round and round.

"Nan, Nanci, there's no need for that, I, I can do it myself." Jiang Manyin felt that her face was going to be red and bleeding at this moment.

Fortunately, the lamp was turned off, so even with the moonlight it would not be too bright.

But it doesn't matter, no matter how bright the lights are, Jin Nanci won't be able to see them.

"Manman, my palm is wide and strong. I'll rub it for you. If it's heavier or lighter, you can tell me." Jin Nanci couldn't let her refuse at all.

It's just that Jiang Manyin really had no idea, this man just rubbed her belly so seriously.

"Nanci, there's really no need." Jiang Manyin tried to reach out to stop his hand from rubbing her stomach lightly, and then let his other hand grab it.

Why did Jiang Manyin have the feeling that he dug a hole and jumped in by himself? This gave Jin Nanci a chance to touch himself openly.

What is this?

Why does it seem that the matter between her and Jin Nanci is more and more out of her control.

"Manman, don't eat so much in the future, I'll give you a controlled kneading force, which can help you digest more, don't make food uncomfortable, your hand strength is too small, you can't achieve the best effect, be obedient, don't make trouble It's gone." Jin Nanci said seriously.

This is simply serious nonsense.

"Thank you then."

"No, we are husband and wife, this is what I should do as a husband." Jin Nanci took it for granted.

What a perfect example of a good husband.

For a moment, Jiang Manyin had nothing to say, so she could only hold her breath heavily to control her heartbeat.

Lest he hear her abnormal heartbeat.

The silence in the room was only the sound of each other's breathing. Under the dim light, Jiang Manyin felt uncomfortable and embarrassed for a while, so she decided to find a topic to break.

"Nanci, you are so skilled, do you often rub your stomach?" Jiang Manyin blurted out, wanting to die instantly.

She can also ask this kind of question, she is simply mentally retarded.

"Nanci, I didn't mean that, I just..."

"I know." Jin Nanci laughed in a low voice, and then stopped smiling. "I'm not Qin Yue, so I don't need to see a doctor and give massage."

Jiang Manyin could hear the explanation.

He has never massaged anyone like this before, she must be the first.

Inexplicably a little happy.

"Manman, do you understand what I said?"

Jin Nanci asked her in a low voice.

His voice was very soft, and his voice was deliberately lowered, especially in this dimly lit environment, it was particularly seductive.

Jiang Manyin's ears softened when he heard it.

Jin Nanci, can you stop teasing her like this, otherwise accidents will happen.

Jiang Manyin didn't want to throw him down again, but when she was sober and not drunk.

"Well, I understand. I'm much more comfortable now. Can I go to bed first?" Jiang Manyin hurriedly changed the subject, and couldn't let him continue rubbing.

After a while, the stomach will feel comfortable, but other places will feel uncomfortable.

"Okay." Jin Nanci's eyes darkened, feeling the changes in Jiang Manyin's body.

He knew he couldn't go on like this, so he withdrew his hand in moderation.

Fortunately, Jiang Manyin was really tired today, and she didn't really fall asleep for a while.

Jin Nanci bowed his head and kissed Jiang Manyin, got out of bed and went into the bathroom.

When she lay down feeling cool, Jiang Manyin subconsciously leaned over.

Seeing her like this, Jin Nanci's heart and eyes were filled with deep smiles.

It's natural to take people into your arms.

All he has to do now is to make Jiang Manyin's body dependent on her, and get used to all his intimacy.

Jiang Manyin was really tired. When she woke up, it was bright outside the window, and Jin Nanci was no longer around her.

Stretched and looked at the time, it was 09:30.

No wonder the sun was so bright outside the window, Jin Nanci got up early.

"Wang Wang~"

Hearing the sound of the little milk dog coming from outside the window, Jiang Manyin got out of bed and walked barefoot to the balcony outside the room.

Downstairs in the courtyard, Jin Nanci was sitting in a wheelchair and talking on the phone, and Xiao Xian was running around crazily in front of him, running there like a white snowball.

Seeing this picture together, I feel warm inexplicably, and my mood will become better throughout the day.

After Jin Nanci answered the phone, he turned around and saw Jiang Manyin standing on the balcony.

Of course he couldn't see it, so he wouldn't take the initiative to call her.

"Nanci." Jiang Manyin saw that he had finished answering the phone when he turned back, so he raised his hand and yelled at him.

"Manman, are you awake?"

Jin Nanci smiled at her.

It happened to be against the light, and the golden sunlight came from behind him, forming a layer of golden halo.

It's really beautiful.

"Well, I woke up, I'm sorry, I got up too late." Jiang Manyin apologized with some embarrassment.

She usually wakes up at seven o'clock, but she slept until 09:30 today.

So it's really embarrassing.

There was a smile in Jin Nanci's eyes, which lasted for a long time.

"Clean up and go downstairs for breakfast." Jin Nanci naturally saw the shyness on her face, but he didn't care much.

Jiang Manyin was still on guard against him at first, no matter what was on her mind, she tried not to show it on her face.

However, after confirming that he was blind, the emotions on Jiang Manyin's face were no longer controlled so deliberately, and more and more emotions could be shown on his face.

He likes this way, openly peeking at all the little emotions that skipped over her face.

"Okay, Nanci, see you later." Jiang Manyin happily turned and went back to the room.

Seeing the phone ringing, it was Su Mier who quickly answered it.

"Ear, what's the matter?"

"Manman, come to Hongren to see me, and bring me breakfast." Su Mier's voice was a little anxious and panting, as if he was enduring some pain.

After Jiang Manyin listened, his mind was full of Hongren Hospital visiting Su Mier and bringing her breakfast.

What does it mean?
"Ear, please speak clearly first, what's going on?" Jiang Manyin was a little anxious.

Su Mier simply spoke patiently. "Last night, I didn't go to bed until four or five o'clock in time for the design draft. I woke up thirsty at seven o'clock, and I went out of the room in a daze. Then... I fell on the table leg and fell, so I couldn't die. I cut it on the fruit knife, anyway, I cut my hand, I called 120, and now the wound has been stitched up, but I need to stay in the hospital for a few days to observe, I am very hungry now, let me bring you breakfast, okay? Sprawling baby?"

Su Mier explained the matter in the shortest time, and began to act coquettishly.

I fell down, scratched the fruit, and got stitches. Is this a minor injury?
You don't even need to ask how big the wound is, you know it's definitely not a minor injury.

Su Mier's attention to detail in the design is outrageous, and in life, he is simply a careless rough guy.

Calling 120 by myself to go to the hospital to suture the wound, how strong can I do it.

It would be difficult for Jiang Manyin to do it.

Thinking about it makes my heart ache.

"Okay, lie down and rest for me in the ward. I'll go over to find you right away." Jiang Manyin hung up the phone after finishing speaking, and then hurriedly packed up, changed clothes, and took her bag down.

Jin Nanci was already sitting at the breakfast table waiting for her, but when she came down with her bag and looked like she was about to go out in a hurry, she knew something must have happened.

"Manman, come over for breakfast." Jin Nanci swallowed the care that came out of his mouth, pretending that he didn't see anything, and waited for her to speak.

"Nanci, I'm sorry, I can't have breakfast with you now, I fell on a fruit knife and cut myself in the morning, and now I'm lying in the hospital, I'm going to bring her breakfast." Jiang Manyin went to the kitchen Go and ask Butler Tang to pack breakfast for Su Mier in the hospital.

"If Ms. Su is injured, you can go to the hospital to accompany her, but you can eat two bites of breakfast by yourself first, so you don't get stomach problems from starvation, and be obedient." Jin Nanci said very gently, but the last two words are obviously a little bit overbearing.

Jiang Manyin glanced at the steamed stuffed buns on the table. She took a steamed stuffed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, and then drank a big glass of milk into it.

Jin Nanci was really anxious when he saw how she was eating, and was a little worried that she would choke.

"Manman, eat slowly, it's only a few minutes away, if Miss Su needs anything, just let me know." Jin Nanci didn't want her to have any worries.

He already knew about Su Mier's situation. Although there was Qin Muye who wanted to help her all the time, Su Mier had a great hatred for him and would never accept his help.

Therefore, one person was injured and hospitalized, and there was no one to take care of him.

Jiang Manyin was her good friend, Jin Nanci helped Su Mier, and Jiang Manyin was also helping Jiang Manyin.

"I know." Jiang Manyin hurriedly took the food box from Butler Tang and prepared to leave.

"Go back to Jin's house at noon, and I will pick you up at the hospital later." Jin Nanci reminded her.

That's right, she had to go back to Jin's house for dinner at noon, and she almost forgot about it.

"Nanci, you don't need to go to the hospital to pick me up. You go back to Jin's house first. I'll just ask the driver to take me there directly from the hospital. Hands-free will waste your time." Jiang Manyin thought about the route, from here to Hongren and then back Jin Zhai was a little detoured.

"Then it's up to you, Uncle Tang, prepare a car for Manman and take her to the hospital." Naturally, Jin Nanci would not make things difficult for her, and ordered Tang Butler to prepare the car.

"Nanci, then I'll go to the hospital first, I'm sorry I can't accompany you to have breakfast." Jiang Manyin walked out with her things.

"Be careful on the way and take good care of Miss Su." Jin Nanci told her.

"Yes, I will."

Seeing Jiang Manyin leaving in the car, Jin Nanci took out his cell phone and went out.

As soon as the car arrived at the hospital, Jiang Manyin got out of the car and went to Su Mier's ward.

In the white ward, Su Mier lay there quietly, getting an injection.

His face was pale, and he looked very uncomfortable.

"Ear, are you okay?" Jiang Manyin went in and saw that her right forearm was completely wrapped in gauze. Is this still a small wound?It must be a big hole.

With such a big wound, she can still call 120 and come over to suture the wound by herself. She is really amazing.

"Well, it's just that there is a lot of bleeding, so I can't die for the time being." When Su Mier saw Jiang Manyin, he became as happy as seeing a relative.

Seeing how optimistic she was, Jiang Manyin really had no choice but to deal with her.

There was a lot of blood, and she looked like she was bleeding dry.

"Stop talking, this pale face has lost too much blood, eat first." Jiang Manyin stopped her from speaking, and then poured out the porridge for her, with buns and sandwiches.

"It's rich, Jin Nanci's chef's craftsmanship?" Su Mier felt refreshed when he smelled the fragrance. He hadn't eaten all morning and bled so much. Now he really needs to take care of himself. regain strength.

"Otherwise, do you still think I cooked it?" Jiang Manyin gave her a blank look, with a look of disdain for her to hurt herself so much.

I really feel sorry for Su Mier who is like this, hurt like this.

"What's the matter, I just want to eat something cooked by Miss Jiang, can't I?" Su Mier looked at Jiang Manyin with an aggrieved expression.

"Okay, you eat first." Jiang Manyin quickly picked up the spoon and prepared to feed her.

However, Su Mier stretched out his left hand.

"Okay, it's not that one of my hands is useless, and that hand is only a skin injury. You can eat it yourself. Don't look at me like I'm dying. I'll be scared." Su Mier ate, One side is poor-mouthed.

I really don't want to see Jiang Manyin looking at her like she is dying of illness, it's just too scary.

"You still know that you are injured. I thought you didn't know that you were injured. Why did you... fall on the fruit knife? You are an adult in your twenties, and you are embarrassed to make such a long cut on the fruit knife. Oh you." Jiang Manyin felt sorry for her.

Of course, Su Mier knew that Jiang Manyin was worried about her and loved her, so she would not be angry even if she blamed herself.

"I know, we Manman are too worried about me, I don't know why the fruit knife is there, I have already dealt with the murder weapon, and I will only use plastic fruit knives in the future, don't worry, I'm really fine , otherwise you wouldn’t be able to see me as beautiful and lively, but it’s a pity that my work will be suspended for a few days, but I’ve received several big orders.” Su Mier said helplessly.

The incident happened so suddenly, and she still had a lot of things to deal with at work.

"You're already like this, and you still remember the work, just leave it to Shanshan to deal with it. At worst, it will be postponed for a few days, and the most important thing is to treat the injury now." Jiang Manyin couldn't help being moved by her dedication It's here, but now that she's injured like this, the most important thing is to have a good rest instead of thinking about some things that you don't have.

"This is the only way to go. I promised Shanshan some time ago that I will definitely design a few designs in my hand in the shortest possible time, and then ask her to rearrange the worksheet. Now... probably, Shanshan will Crazy." Su Mier smiled, but there was a trace of guilt on his face.

Shanshan is Ding Shan, Su Mier's manager, who usually arranges work for Su Mier.

I had a few design orders on hand before, and Su Mier urged them to do so.

It was only in the past few days that I made sure to rush out, and it turned out that something like this happened.

It's really not as good as people's calculations.

"You haven't told Shanshan about your injury yet?" Jiang Manyin glanced at her.

"It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to tell her, the first one was to tell you, so you are my heart, I am afraid that after Shanshan knows that my hand is cut, she will say that I am Deliberately, for the sake of unfavorable design." Su Mier said darkly.

Jiang Manyin didn't want to talk to her anymore. "Let's talk to Shanshan later."

"It's okay. She's still out of town. She probably won't be back until tomorrow. I gave her such a big surprise. She's probably going to be terrified." Su Mier is always so optimistic.

Except for Qin Muye's matter, she was very open about everything.

"By the way, Er, I told Brother Yunzhou about my marriage, but I didn't tell him who it was. If he asks you, just say you don't know, understand?" Jiang Manyin thought of this matter, her tone Heavy said to Sumier.

Su Mier was startled, and looked at Jiang Manyin in confusion. "You said, you told brother Yunzhou about your marriage, but you didn't say it was Jin Nanci, right?"

"Well, I don't want to tell him that it is Jin Nanci for the time being. Some things will not be clear for a while, so it's better not to say it. Let's talk about it when the opportunity comes later." Jiang Manyin was also hesitant.

Judging from the situation of Zhou Yunzhou and her car, Su Mier will definitely be asked.

"I see, but Brother Yunzhou doesn't contact me, so he probably won't ask me." Su Mier continued to eat breakfast after finishing speaking.

Jiang Manyin said no more, and finished breakfast with her.

Then Qin Yue, Su Mier's attending doctor, came. The world was really too small.

Jiang Manyin once thought that Qin Yue was the only surgeon with such a big Hongren.

"Miss Su, how is it?" Qin Yue came over, followed by a nurse.

"Doctor Qin, I'm fine." Su Mier smiled, then looked at Jiang Manyin. "Manman, this is my attending doctor, Doctor Qin, isn't he handsome?"

Jiang Manyin looked at her and replied with a crisp word. "handsome."

"Doctor Qin, it's a coincidence that you are the doctor in charge of ears." Jiang Manyin looked at Qin Yue and laughed.

"I didn't expect Xiaoman to be Miss Su's friend. It's really a coincidence." Qin Yue's face was still calm and indifferent, but his tone of voice when talking to Jiang Manyin was a little softer.

After all, she is Jin Nanci's wife.

Who dares to show her face.

"Manman, do you know Dr. Qin?" Su Mier looked at the two of them in surprise.

This is clearly a good acquaintance.

"Doctor Qin is a good friend of Nanci. We met several times at home, so we got to know each other." Jiang Manyin briefly introduced the relationship between them.

"So it's a friend I know. No wonder I think Dr. Qin looks very kind." Su Mier looked at Qin Yue with a smile.

This doctor Qin is quite handsome, but he is a little too cold.

Like a scalpel, there was a cold light in his eyes.

The nurse behind Qinyue couldn't help laughing when she heard Su Mier's words. The whole Hongren knew how handsome Doctor Qinyue was, but how cold-tempered he was.

Whether it is to patients, family members, or medical staff, there has never been any tenderness and kindness, even to the dean.

Of course, who gave this hospital the surname Qin?

Therefore, even if he shook his face for everyone to see, no one dared to say no.

It was the first time I heard someone praise Qin Yue for being kind.

"Did I say something wrong?" Su Mier saw the nurse's forbearing smile.

"No, go and take Miss Su's temperature to see if there is any fever caused by the wound." Qin Yue said lightly.

The nurse hurried to take Su Mier's temperature.

"Doctor Qin, since you are the doctor in charge of the ear, the ear injury will trouble you." Jiang Manyin begged Qin Yue seriously.

"Xiao Man, you don't need to be polite to me. It is my responsibility as a doctor to treat every wounded patient as best I can." Qin Yue's tone was very calm.

All right, this is his job, so there are no other factors.

Qin Yue even has the same attitude towards Jin Nanci, especially towards others.

"Anyway, thank you." Jiang Manyin didn't find any excuses, and simply said thank you.

"Xiao Man, you don't need to be so polite." Qin Yue's face was cold, and he couldn't see much enthusiasm.

Jiang Manyin curled the corners of her mouth, her hair covered her face, so she couldn't see the smile on her face clearly.

"Doctor Qin, can I ask you something?" Jiang Manyin suddenly thought of what Qianye saw Qin Yue last night.

Because of the distance and the light, she was not quite sure that the man she saw was Qin Yue.

And he just turned his face and turned back.

"Xiao Man, you can ask." Qin Yue was frank.

"Did you go to the Qianye clubhouse yesterday? I saw a person who looks very similar to you..."

"Well, I'm going." Qin Yue answered very simply.

Jin Nanci got angry with him last night, and Jiang Manyin was also in Qianye, probably because he saw Qin Yue's face, so if Jiang Manyin asked, he could admit it, as long as he didn't tell Jin Nanci.

Jiang Manyin didn't know what to say when he heard his answer so frankly.

"So it's really you, I thought it was my eyesight, and the rest are your friends?" Jiang Manyin almost asked directly, is there Jin Nanci in it?
However, as soon as this idea came out, she herself felt a little absurd.

Jiang Manyin quickly explained. "Doctor Qin, I didn't mean that. I just asked out of curiosity. I didn't mean to inquire about your personal affairs. I just didn't know anyone else."

"Xiao Man, there's no need to explain. Those are my friends. They just went to Qianye for a drink last night." Seeing her nervous look, Qin Yue probably knew what she was suspicious of.

Sure enough, as Jin Nanci said, Jiang Manyin is very sensitive about some things.

Maybe he was wondering if Jin Nanci was inside.

"Doctor Qin, the body measurement is ready, and Ms. Su has no fever." The nurse came over with a thermometer.

"It's good if you don't have a fever. Then, Miss Su, take a good rest. Xiaoman, I'll leave first. If you have anything to do, come to me directly." Qin Yue left the ward after speaking.

Jiang Manyin still felt that the question she just asked was a bit abrupt and over the top.

I don't know what Qin Yue will think of her, whether he will think that she is a meddlesome person.

"Manman, what's going on?" Su Mier stared at Jiang Manyin and knew what she was asking.

"It's okay, are you full?" Jiang Manyin looked at the empty bowl in front of her, and Su Mier really didn't waste food at all, which is a good sign.

"I'm full, I'm full, your young master Jin's chef is amazing." Su Mier was very satisfied with the breakfast.

"Then remember to give her a good review." Jiang Manyin glanced at her.

"By the way, Manman, don't tell Qin Muye about this, don't say a word." Su Mier warned seriously.

After Jiang Manyin packed her things, she looked at her and spoke. "Ear, trust is necessary between us. Don't worry, Mr. Qin and I will not discuss anything other than the decoration of the restaurant, especially your affairs, okay?"

"Well, that's about the same." Su Mier lifted his chin and smiled.

However, at noon, Qin Muye came over, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and fruits and various nutritional supplements in the other.

"Xiao Mi, why didn't you tell me about your injury, is it serious?" Qin Muye had already entered the ward and stood in front of Su Mier.

At this moment, Su Mier was nibbling a big apple. When he saw Qin Muye, Su Mier's face turned dark on the spot. Who wants him to come and see him?

Subconsciously glanced at Jiang Manyin, Jiang Manyin shook her head, she had been staying in the ward, except for going out to buy food for this greedy cat, she had never contacted Qin Muye at all.

"Qin Muye, who asked you to come and see me? I'm not dead yet, so I don't need your hypocritical concern, understand? Now that you've seen it, you can go." not good.

Jiang Manyin twitched the corners of her mouth, no one would curse herself to death.

Does Miss Su want to act like this?

"Xiao Mi, I know you hate me and don't want to see me, but don't curse yourself to death, don't make fun of life and death, let me see where it hurts?" Qin Muye had already put down his things, and saw Su Mier's right hand holding a small The arm was wrapped with gauze, judging from the width of the wrap, the injury was serious, Qin Muye frowned.

"Who, who wants to curse myself to death, Qin Muye, you are really annoying, who told you that I was injured!" Su Mier gave him a vicious look.

"What I want to know, I know naturally." Qin Muye said calmly.

"Okay, I'm not dead now, can you get out, don't shake in front of me, my eyes hurt and I feel uncomfortable, it will affect the recovery of the wound." Su Mier looked at Qin Muye with disgust.

"I'll accompany you. I've ordered a meal. Someone will bring it to you later. I'll leave after lunch with you." Qin Muye was really not polite at all.

"Qin Muye, who the hell wants you to eat with me? I have vines here. Who do you think you are? You feel so good about yourself." Su Mier was about to be pissed off by this man.

Why is there such a shameless man in the world.

"Let's go together." Qin Muye looked like a big brother.

Su Mier took the half-eaten apple and threw it at Qin Muye's body.

Qin Muye caught it with one hand and returned it to Su Mier. "Apple is for eating, not for smashing. If you don't want to eat it, I can put it aside for you and eat it later."

Su Mier didn't want to take another half of the apple.

"Manman, the two of us will go to the hospital cafeteria to eat later. We haven't eaten the hospital's nutritious meal yet. It must be nutritious and light." Su Mier didn't look at Qin Muye at all, but set his eyes on Jiang Manyin.

"Well, Er, I'm going back to Jin's house at noon, and I have to go back now, or they will tell me if it's too late." Jiang Manyin looked at Su Mier rather embarrassed.
