Psst! We're moving!
The room was dimly lit, with only a small table lamp illuminating it.
He Jingxiu lowered his eyes to look at the person on the bed. She had removed her makeup; her skin was fair and radiant, without any cosmetic obstruction, making her appear even more youthful.
Her face was small, and her round, apricot eyes were tightly closed, making her seem very well-behaved and quiet.
Because she was drunk, her cheeks were flushed, as if she had applied the finest blush, but even more alluring than blush.
He Jingxiu stared at her for a moment, his throat bobbing, then leaned closer.
“Bo Ying.”
“Hmm...” Bo Ying mumbled in response, frowning uncomfortably, and turned onto her side.
He Jingxiu couldn’t help but chuckle, “Can you still get up and drink some sobering tea?”
No one answered him.
He Jingxiu raised an eyebrow, pinching her plump cheek, but didn’t force her to get up again.
He stood up, went into the bathroom, wrung out a wet towel, wiped her face and hands, and after tidying her up, he called Pei Yan to come and pick her up.
Drunk Bo Ying was very quiet all night.
When she got drunk, she wasn’t prone to making a fuss. Unless she was in a bad mood, she could sleep soundly until morning.
Looking at her sleeping face, He Jingxiu recalled the words Bo Yan had said to him last time.
The time they went out and chatted secretly, Bo Ying had asked him several times what her brother had told him, but He Jingxiu remained silent.
In those years when he wasn’t part of her life, He Jingxiu hadn’t known that she had gone through so much.
He had always thought that there was just that misunderstanding between them, the one caused by her parents’ interference. He never considered that there might be more.
His sister, as described by Bo Yan, seemed carefree and thoughtless, but in reality, she was more delicate and sensitive than others.
Because of this, she unwittingly put a lot of pressure on herself.
She would resolutely change her major because she felt her parents had wronged Chi Lu, only to be able to help her friend one day.
She spent two years abroad, not daring to contact her family or friends, afraid that if she called, she would hear her friend tell her, “Let’s never contact each other again.”
When it came to friends, Bo Ying was warm-hearted but very timid.
She was clearly brilliant, but always carried an inexplicable insecurity. She was afraid that others wouldn’t like her, afraid that she might do something wrong and upset people.
Because she was raised at home, no matter how well she did, her parents would never be satisfied. They always believed she could do better.
At the company, Bo Ying always treated people sincerely, yet some people would inexplicably find fault with her.
Thinking of this, He Jingxiu reached out, brushed the hair from her face, and asked in a deep voice, “Why don’t you know to ask for help? Are you an idiot?”
The person on the bed unconsciously frowned, and her hand even rose to swat him.
He Jingxiu was speechless, gripping her hand tightly.
The moonlight stealthily entered the room, scattering across the young girl’s face on the bed, pure and beautiful.
He Jingxiu stared at her, suddenly feeling a little regretful.
Why did he agree to wait for her until she was eighteen? Secretly dating in high school wouldn’t have been impossible.
If he had agreed back then, would they be married by now?
But many things are simply not meant to be “what if.”
Thinking of this, He Jingxiu leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips.
“Sleep well,” he said, “I’ll stay with you.”
From now on, no matter what happens, good or bad, I’ll be with you.
He would never let her bear it alone again.

When she woke up, her head, as expected, ached a little.
Bo Ying lay in bed for three minutes with her eyes half-closed. Only after hearing movement downstairs did she struggle to get up.
As soon as she moved, He Bomei seemed to sense it, circling He Jingxiu who was in the kitchen.
He chuckled, casually saying, “Go on.”
He Bomei, given the command, vanished from the kitchen in a flash, ran up the stairs, and pawed at Bo Ying’s bedroom door.
Bo Ying opened the door, and He Bomei pounced on her.
She chuckled, curving her lips, “How did you know I was awake?”
He Bomei wagged her tail, circling her.
Bo Ying smiled, walking towards the bathroom, muttering, “I’m going to brush my teeth, want to come with me?”
She opened the bathroom door and stood in front of the sink to brush her teeth. He Bomei quietly squatted by the door, guarding her.
Bo Ying looked at her, feeling a sense of security she couldn’t quite describe.
Their dog was truly, truly well-behaved.
After washing up, Bo Ying simply put on some makeup.
Today was Saturday, but she had an interview. The interview time was 10 AM, so it was still early.
When she went downstairs, He Jingxiu had already prepared breakfast for her personally.
Bo Ying looked at it, surprised, “You made this yourself?”
He Jingxiu looked at her, “Does your head hurt?”
“Just a little bit,” Bo Ying looked at him, a bit embarrassed to say, “Did I cause you trouble last night?”
“No.”
He Jingxiu turned around and handed her a glass of honey water, “Drink this first, then eat breakfast.”
After drinking, Bo Ying obediently sat down at the dining table.
She looked at the man’s casual attire, her eyes gently curving, “CEO He.”
He Jingxiu glanced at her.
Bo Ying blinked, deliberately saying, “You look so young today.”
“...”
It wasn’t that Bo Ying saw beauty in the eyes of her lover; it was that He Jingxiu’s entire outfit today truly looked very youthful and vibrant.
A white hooded hoodie paired with dark jeans looked incredibly young no matter how you looked at it.
He Jingxiu paused, reminding her, “Bo Ying, I’m not that old.”
He was only twenty-seven. From Bo Ying’s mouth, it always sounded like he was already forty or fifty, and unsuitable for such an outfit.
Bo Ying choked slightly, “I know.”
She opened her mouth, accepted the food he offered, and while eating, said, “I’m just complimenting you. You look really handsome today.”
“...” He Jingxiu saw the glimmer of slyness in her eyes and chuckled to himself, hitting the nail on the head, “Nervous?”
Bo Ying: “...”
Every time she got nervous, she talked a lot.
They exchanged glances, and Bo Ying said wordlessly, “A little bit.”
He Jingxiu pushed the prepared breakfast in front of her, a smile lurking in his eyes, “A hundred-point breakfast. Eat it, and you’ll pass your interview smoothly today.”
Bo Ying paused, looking at the egg and ham in front of her, paired with a sandwich, she couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s the sandwich for then?”
A hundred points would be just fine with the egg and ham.
He Jingxiu was silent for a moment, then honestly said, “I was afraid you wouldn’t be full.”
“...”
After finishing the hundred-point breakfast prepared by He Jingxiu, they set off for the interview location.
The interview was still at the law firm, located in a very upscale office building in North City.
When Bo Ying arrived, she also chatted with Fang Boyu.
When she got out of the car, Fang Boyu was already waiting.
“Bo Ying.”
Fang Boyu waved at her. After seeing the person getting out of the driver’s seat, he faltered for two seconds and called out, “CEO He.”
He Jingxiu nodded, glanced at the office building in front of them, and said softly, “It’s not convenient for me to go in with you.”
Bo Ying nodded, looking up at him, “I know. If you’re busy, go back first? I’ll take a taxi home later.”
He Jingxiu: “Not busy.”
He said calmly, “I’ll wait for you in the car. Go on.”
Bo Ying looked at him, “Then I’m going.”
He Jingxiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Fang Boyu, and said directly, “You go in first. I need to talk to Bo Ying for a moment.”
The gleaming lightbulb, Fang Boyu, very sensibly turned and left, leaving the space and time to the affectionate couple.
After he left, Bo Ying looked at him with crescent-shaped eyes, “What do you want to tell me?”
“Don’t be nervous,” He Jingxiu repeated.
Bo Ying pouted, looking at him discontentedly, “That’s it?”
He Jingxiu lowered his gaze, staring intently at her.
They stood on the street. It was the weekend, so there were still very few people around in the morning.
The warm autumn sun fell on them, as gentle as a spring breeze.
The man’s gaze was fervent, even more impossible to ignore than the summer sun.
Bo Ying instinctively pursed her lips. Just as she was about to say, “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving,” as soon as she opened her mouth, He Jingxiu suddenly cupped her head and kissed her.
His breath touched her nose, his tongue swept across her lips, licking her teeth, kissing her deeply.
...
The kiss didn’t last very long.
He Jingxiu was mindful that she still had an interview, so he restrained himself a lot.
When they separated, his lips were stained with her lipstick, looking incredibly sensual.
The man’s voice was low, and his fingers gently pinched her reddened earlobe, saying hoarsely, “I’ll wait for you here.”
His breath brushed against the tip of her ear, and his lips were close to her ear, with his breath falling softly, almost imperceptibly.
Bo Ying’s heart pounded like a drum.
She had kissed He Jingxiu many times, but each time, the flutter he gave her was different.
Bo Ying didn’t know how to describe it, nor did she know if other couples felt this way, but she did.
No matter how many times it happened, every time he kissed her, her heart still beat for him, and she still felt like a shy girl in her first love.
She truly, truly liked He Jingxiu.
Noticing her gaze, He Jingxiu couldn’t help but lean down and lightly rub his nose against hers, his voice somewhat enticing, “Bo Ying, if I kiss you again, will you be more nervous or more relaxed for your interview?”
Bo Ying stared up blankly.
“Hmm?”
He Jingxiu tempted her, “Tell me the answer?”
“...”
Three seconds later, Bo Ying said, “You can distract me from my interview nerves.”
Make me nervous about other things instead.
He Jingxiu didn’t disappoint her at all. He pulled her back into his embrace and kissed her again.
This kiss was longer and gentler than the previous ones.
So much so that when he released Bo Ying, she was a little unsteady on her feet.
Bo Ying’s face was as red as a blooming red rose, her lips rosy, luscious, and exceptionally sensual.
He Jingxiu’s eyes were dark, his throat bobbed slightly, and he gently squeezed her hand, reminding her, “Don’t tempt me anymore.”
He said, “You know, I have no resistance to you.”
Bo Ying was shy, not daring to look up at him again.
He Jingxiu whispered, “Go on, I’ll cheer you on from outside.”
Bo Ying blinked, then hummed, “Okay, then I want milk tea after my interview.”
He Jingxiu: “...”
He gave a helpless smile, “Alright, I’ll buy it and wait for you.”

Entering the office building, Bo Ying first went to the restroom.
When she rode the elevator to the interview floor, there were many people her age waiting at the entrance, all dressed very youthfully and vibrantly.
Bo Ying looked at them, feeling inexplicably happy.
She pursed her lips, still feeling He Jingxiu’s scent on them, which made her heart race, yet also calmed her.
In her moment of nervousness, he was constantly by her side.
“Are you first later?”
Bo Ying asked Fang Boyu.
Fang Boyu nodded, “Yes. Don’t be too nervous, just perform normally.”
Bo Ying smiled, “Mhm, you too.”
She curved her lips, “Let’s bring honor to the company.”
There were cameras all around, so they didn’t deliberately avoid each other or pretend not to know each other.
Anyway, if they were selected to be aired, everyone would eventually know they were colleagues.
Soon, the interview officially began.
Bo Ying was scheduled later, so she wasn’t in much of a hurry.
She carried her bag and sat down at a nearby seat to wait, casually flipping through the interview materials she had prepared.
As she was looking, a female voice suddenly emerged beside her, “Hello.”
Bo Ying turned her head and, upon seeing the girl in a small dress, curved her lips, “Hello, Bo Ying.”
“Yu Mengjia.”
“Are you nervous?”
Both of them were there for the interview, so they didn’t bother with small talk.
Bo Ying smiled, “It’s alright, how about you?”
“A little bit,” Yu Mengjia took a deep breath, her fingers curled on her knees, looking somewhat uneasy and fidgety.
Bo Ying looked at her and smiled, “Did you record this show somewhere before?”
“I heard about it,” Yu Mengjia’s voice trembled, “At He Group.”
Bo Ying hummed, smiling brightly, “Do you follow celebrities?”
“Ah?” Yu Mengjia was stunned for a moment, then instinctively nodded, “Yes, I have a male celebrity I like.”
Bo Ying’s eyes sparkled, “Want to share who it is?”
She said, “I like handsome guys, so I follow quite a few.”
Yu Mengjia chuckled, saying, “I like Zhou Yan, do you know him?”
Bo Ying blinked, she honestly didn’t know him very well.
“I’ll look him up now.”
She asked, “Then what do you like about him?”
Yu Mengjia thought for a moment and said seriously, “At first, it was his good looks. Then, because of his personality and acting skills, he’s very captivating.”
Bo Ying nodded, then suddenly said, “The boss of He Group is also very handsome, maybe even more handsome than your idol.”
“Ah?” Yu Mengjia looked at her blankly.
Bo Ying patted her shoulder, encouraging her, “Don’t be nervous for the interview. Let’s do our best, and then we can go to He Group to see handsome guys.”
