Chapter 30 Part 2

The moon shone bright outside, there was no noise in the summer night. In her ear, she could hear the echo of his words. It’s really affected her emotion.

“Er Duo, when would we meet again?”

“Let’s wait for the day for us to shoot the second trailer.”

“It’s still one more week.” He said, “I suddenly remember, the day after tomorrow there would be work gathering. It would allow us to bring a family member, would you like to go together?”

“The fee?” She remembered the first time she attended their first gathering, she spent his own money.

“I will pay for you.”

“Okay.”

“These days the temperature was a bit high, you could wear a thinner skirt, but don’t it be too short. It’s better to be below your knee.”

“You’re starting to controlling my dressing style issue?”

“Em, you could think it that way.”

“I would consider your advice. But doesn’t mean I would comply with it.” She purposely opposed him.

“Then go to sleep now.” His voice was so melodious: “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

She hung up the phone. Bei Er Duo checked her email. Periodically she would receive an email of Bei Heng An’s photos from his traveling. She would smile when she looked at it.

If this moment her father was in front of her, she definitely would throw herself to his embrace and said “I have someone that I like.”

A kind that is very outstanding.

I would look for the time for saying that to him.

She logged out from her inbox. Bei Er Duo continued by changing her CV. She changed it word by word and phrase and by phrase. She wanted it to precise and and concise.

After graduation and failing her own business, she was a bit at loss for her future. These days during the business yet she found a kind of balance that wiped her fogginess, it gives her a clear direction. She started to learn how to compromise, also learn how to fight for it. She planned to look for a job that suit and interesting for her.

She doesn’t afraid that she couldn’t find it, she also doesn’t afraid that she would fail. She believed that she just need to be certain that all problems could be solved.

After having a shower and laying down on the bed. Bei Er Duo placed her arms below her head. She thought about Ye Shu Wei for a moment, then turned off the light.

On the other side, before Ye Shu Wei shut down his computer, he received a private message.

“You really understand Bei Er Duo? Do you know that she had a lot of boyfriends during senior high school? She is really good at acting. All the female classmates didn’t like her, I am really curious what do you like from her. Based on your factors, you could clearly get the better one. Why should you settle for just her? I really couldn’t endure to see you being deceived. Please think about it, is she really worthy for yourself.”

Ye Shu Wei read it, then send to her “Get lost”, then he shut it down.

…………….

The night of the day after tomorrow, when Bei Er Duo wore an elegant simple cream color dress and appeared in front of Ye Shu Wei, he was watching at her for a long time, then he commented: “Good.”

Then he held her hands. They passed through the garden of the restaurant and got inside.

Inside the private room, all the research institute gathered together, including He Yang, Zhen Zhi Ling, Gao Xian Yin, Huo Xiao Tong, Big sister Zhou and her husband, and there were three other single men and a woman.

“These long time of not meeting each other, I notice that Bei Er Duo you turn to be more beautiful.” Zhen Zhi Ling said initiatively and friendly to Bei Er Duo.

“Now you guys are the popular one. Even I’m the oldest one could know it.” Big Sis Zhou smiled brightly.

“Come come come. Sit here.” He Yang pointed to his left side.

Bei Er Duo followed Ye Shu Wei and sat down. She noticed the opposite was Gao Xian Yin. He smiled at her: “Long time no see.”

Beside him was Huo Xiao Tong, Huo Xiao Tong looked at him, and signaled him to be talk less. So he shut up.

Indeed after long time of not meeting each other, the topic of the conversation wasn’t far away from the famous Ye Shu Wei and Bei Er Duo.

Hui Xiao Tong said: “But the netizens also mentioned a lot of bad rumors.”

“What is it?” Gao Xian Yin said curiously.

Hui Xiao Tong didn’t answer it directly, she just looked at Bei Er Duo: “Bei Er Duo did you see it?”

Bei Er Duo was a bit lazy to pay attention to her.

Hui Xiao Tong regarded her to be lacking in confidence, so she still said more thing: “Your high school friends said that when you were student, you had relationships with several men. Also there were two male students had fight because of you. You didn’t have a good relationship with your female classmates because you were the reason of a couple.”

She said that the whole atmosphere of the private room turned to be strange. They all didn’t expect that Hui Xiao Tong would say something like that.

Gao Xiao Yin was not happy about it: “What nonsense are you talking about.”

“It’s not me. It’s other people who said it. You could search it if you don’t believe me.”

“How could you believe what you search in the internet. Do you have any brain?” Gao Xiao Yin lost his smile.

“Do I say I believe it? Why should you be angry at me? I just ask the person that involve in it whether it’s true or not? I want her to verify it okay?” Hui Xiao Tong laughed coldly.

“Okay.” He Yang helped to smooth things over: “Xiao Tong, we all understand that you always say what you are thinking. If you have question, you would just ask. But what you say, it’s clearly a false statement. Even though I am not really close to Bei Er Duo, but I know clearly Ye Shu Wei. Ye Shu Wei’s girlfriend wouldn’t do something like that.”

“In this world there’s no certain thing.” Hui Xiao Tong said lowly. She looked at Bei Er Duo: “If it’s false, then why you don’t say anything? If you deny it and explain it clearly, we could judge.”

“Because she thinks that your words are very stupid, it’s no need for her to reply.” Ye Shu Wei placed back his glass and looked at Hui Xiao Tong coldly as if he was disgusted by her. “Is there something wrong with it?”

Bei Er Duo looked at Ye Shu Wei, she got a lot of power from him. At last she didn’t throughly ignore her, she turned her head to look at her. With neither servile nor overbearing attitude, she said: “If you want my clarification, then let me say it. Until now, I just have one boyfriend.”

Gao Xian Yin stood up and pulled Hui Xiao Tong: “Let’s go outside first. Then come back later.”

They both went out. He Yang then shrugged his shoulder: “Everyone always has time to fart, now it’s gone, don’t you guys mind about it.”

Big sis Zhou also comforted Bei Er Duo: “Don’t you put it inside your heart. Supposedly she has some problems. So she would do this.”

Zhen Zhi Ling also said: “Yes, Er Duo, eat more. This is a fruity alcohol, let me open you a bottle.”

Bei Er Duo suddenly realized that everyone was a bit worry of Ye Shu Wei’s mood.

Bei Er Duo tasted the fruity alcohol. She drank two glasses and her face turned red.

Looking at this, Ye Shu Wei brought her out to the lawn of the restaurant.

He let her to sit down on the rattan chair. Bei Er Duo was a bit giddy: “It’s possible because last night I slept really late that I now feel very sleepy.”

“Sleep for a while.” He said it, “After thirty minutes I will wake you up.”

Bei Er Duo closed her eyes, and said softly: “Thank you for helping me out before.”

“Now you still thank me?” His voice was sounded really close.

“Em? Em.” She smiled. 

Ye Shu Wei looked that her head started to hang down. He extended his hand to hug her shoulder and let her head to lean on his shoulder to let her have a comfortable sleep.

His hand stroked her head and lowered his head to see her drunk expression.

Her face was white and red. It was like a red tomato.

He couldn’t control it, he used his other hand to poke her earlobe.

“Ye Shu Wei.”

He curled his fingers and listened to her.

“Ye Shu Wei.” She yelled. Her voice was soft like the night wind, and sweet like a strawberry.

He never heard someone could make his name sound so sweet.

“Ye Shu Wei.” She called him again like she was dreaming about him.

He looked at her, and asked: “I’m here, what do you want to say?”

She just closed her eyes and kept on calling him. She called him for twenty one times.

He also kept on listening to it for twenty one times.

Until she was finally in deep sleep. He thought that she wouldn’t say anything more, but at last he heard: “Ye Shu Wei, do you like me or not…… Why I couldn’t guess it… I don’t care, in any way you are mine now.”

These twenty seven years, he always be calm and stable, but now his heart was beating erratically.
