Chapter 95: Finding the Fruit of Time

Ye Jing's heart was pounding and her hands and feet were so nervous that she didn't know what to do. This was the first time she was hugged by a boy like this, and he was the boy she secretly liked.

She couldn't help but have wild thoughts in her mind. She seemed to have been too lazy to wash her hair last night. She had been wearing the school uniform for two days and had a physical education class today. Would there be any unpleasant smell?

Just as Ye Jing was frowning in annoyance, the phone in her hand rang. She looked down at the caller ID and subconsciously broke free from Xie Fei's embrace. She answered the call with a guilty conscience: "Hello, Dad."

A somewhat anxious male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Jing'er, what happened? Why haven't you come back yet so late?"

"Ah, nothing happened." Ye Jing was stunned when she heard that. She secretly glanced at Xie Fei and stammered, "I, I... I was on duty today, so I stayed to clean after school."

"Is that so?" After a pause, a voice from the other end sounded faintly, "Jing'er, you must be tired from cleaning. Do you want daddy to come pick you up?"

"No, no need, Dad. I'm already at the station and will be back soon." Ye Jing was startled and replied immediately.

There was no sound in the silent alley. Xie Fei was not far from her and could hear the voice on the other end of her phone clearly. Seeing her blushing face and telling clumsy lies, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile on his face.

After she hung up the phone, he propped his chin with one hand and said jokingly, "Tsk, the teacher said that good children can't lie. I didn't expect that the monitor of the three good students would actually lie."

Ye Jing pursed her lips, and after a while, she looked up and looked at Xie Fei in anger. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but her expression was very serious and earnest: "I'm doing this for your own good. If my dad knew that I got involved in a fight to save you, he would never let it go. If the school finds out, you will be punished or even expelled!"

Hearing this, Xie Fei's eyes deepened. He looked deeply at Ye Jing's stubborn face. Ye Jing stared back at him. After they stared at each other for a long time, Xie Fei suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled. He moved closer to her, and put his hands on the wall to trap her. He asked in a low and hoarse voice with pride: "Class monitor seems to care about me a lot. Do you like me?"

His handsome eyes were filled with a glittering smile. Ye Jing's breathing stagnated slightly, and her heart was beating uncontrollably. She subconsciously pressed herself against the wall behind her, tilted her head to the side as if to avoid him, drooped her eyelashes, pursed her lips and said, "I don't like you. Don't be so self-indulgent. Saving you is just my duty as the class monitor."

"Oh, really?" Xie Fei lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was held in his arms like a little white rabbit. Her fair face was tinged with a little blush, and her curled eyelashes kept blinking. Her seductive look of saying one thing and thinking another made him couldn't help but raise a happy smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Of course. What else do you think?" Ye Jing heard the playful smile in his voice and looked up at him suddenly. However, Xie Fei was too close to her. When she raised her head, the distance between them was only the thickness of a finger. In a blink of an eye, their breathing became entangled in disorder.

Ye Jing's breathing stagnated, and her heart began to beat faster like a drum. The two stared at each other for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, a stranger's voice rang out in the alley. She immediately lowered her head in panic and whispered, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going home."

As she said that, she tightened the strap of her schoolbag and was about to get out from under Xie Fei's arm. Xie Fei came back to his senses while he was stunned. He quickly grabbed her schoolbag. Seeing her unhappy look, he clenched his fist, coughed awkwardly, and stood up and said, "I'll take you there."

"No, I can go back by myself." Ye Jing snatched back her schoolbag and stood up. She glanced at the blood under his shirt and frowned. She couldn't help but said, "You should find a hospital to bandage the wound when you have time. There's so much blood..."

Before she could finish her words, Xie Fei approached her with a smile on his face and said proudly, "You said you don't care about me, but your worry is written all over your face."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched Ye Jing's eyebrows, eyes, and lips one by one, and said with a smile: "Here, here, and here, they are full of worry and concern. No matter how you argue, you can't fool my eyes."

Ye Jing was choked and speechless. After a while, she glared at Xie Fei angrily and walked away angrily without saying a word.

She looked so adorable when she was angry. Xie Fei chuckled softly, and seeing her walking straight forward without paying any attention to him, he knew that he had pissed her off, so he didn't dare to tease her anymore. He just smiled awkwardly and followed her towards the station.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the station. After watching Ye Jing get on the bus, Xie Fei waved and turned around to go home.

"Ning Yi." Ye Jing suddenly called out.

Xie Fei turned around and looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Ye Jing pursed her lips, secretly spitting at herself in her heart, but she couldn't help but said, "Remember to go to the hospital."

The next moment, she quickly closed the window, turned her head and looked straight ahead, waiting for the driver to start the car.

When she was wondering whether someone had left and was struggling over whether to turn her head to look, she heard a knock on the window. She subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw that the boy she liked had his eyebrows slightly raised, with a bright smile on his eyes and eyebrows, and a shallow dimple was faintly visible in the arc of his mouth.

Ye Jing was startled and almost fell in love with the boy's dark and bright eyes. She calmed herself down and looked at the window where he was knocking again.

There, Xie Fei's bony fingers were slowly and solemnly outlining a heart on the misty window.

For a moment, Ye Jing seemed to no longer hear the noisy voices around her, and could no longer see the people around her. It was as if there were only the two of them left in the whole world.

Just a window away, so close that you can touch it.

Ye Jing gradually came back to her senses as the bus stopped and moved. The fog on the window had long disappeared, and the heart was no longer visible. However, she could not help but gently stroke the window over and over again, and a faint smile unconsciously rose at the corner of her mouth.

Ning Yi, how can you tease me like this? It's a foul.

…

When Ye Jing returned home, it was more than an hour later than usual. Ye Shimian and Qiu Min were both sitting on the sofa watching TV. When he saw her coming back, Ye Shimian looked at her inconspicuously, then stood up with a smile and walked towards the dining table while saying, "Jing'er is back, come and eat."

Ye Jing responded, put down her schoolbag, washed her hands, and sat opposite Ye Shimian with the bowl in her hand.

"Are you exhausted from cleaning today?" Ye Shimian put a few chopsticks of meat into Ye Jing's bowl, and reached out with his other hand to pinch her wrist, saying with concern, "Look at how thin you are. Eat more, don't be afraid of getting fat."

The touch on her wrist made Ye Jing feel a little nauseous. She frowned and subconsciously pulled her hand back. She raised her eyes and saw Ye Shimian staring at her in a daze. She was also stunned and pursed her lips in some surprise.

She opened her mouth to speak, but Qiu Min, who was sitting next to Ye Shimian, suddenly said indifferently, "What can take you an hour to clean? I'm afraid you went out to play with someone and didn't dare to tell us."

Ye Jing paused holding the chopsticks, then continued to eat as usual. She didn't know exactly when it started, or even why, but it seemed as if all of a sudden her mother became even more sarcastic and mocking towards her.

At the beginning, she was very sad and upset, thinking that she had done something wrong. She pulled Qiu Min and begged her not to be angry with her. Later, she gradually realized that it was not that she had done anything wrong, but that Qiu Min no longer loved her.

No, maybe it’s not that she has changed. In fact, she may have never loved herself.

I still remember that when she was a child, she always cried to herself why she was not a son. Perhaps for her, her birth was the beginning of her misfortune - because she was a daughter, her mother-in-law and father-in-law did not like her, and because she was a burden, no one was willing to give her a job.

Because of herself, she lived cautiously and fearfully, and suffered a lot of contempt and grievances from her mother-in-law. After her husband died, she was driven out of the Gao family. She had no place to live with a burden, and had to sleep in the open. If she hadn't met Ye Shimian, she might have lost herself long ago.

As Ye Jing was daydreaming, she suddenly felt irritated for no reason. Her irritation was accompanied by disgust towards Qiu Min. Before she could think about it, she blurted out four words: "None of your business."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence at the table and the atmosphere in the whole room instantly became stiff. Ye Shimian and Qiu Min looked at her in shock, and Ye Jing was a little at a loss.

She didn't know why she said such words, but she felt very comfortable in her heart, and the feeling of irritability disappeared instantly after she said this.

Qiu Min has been Mrs. Ye for so many years, and many people want to get some relationship with Ye Shimian through her, so they praise her as much as they can. Over the years, except for being humble in front of Ye Shimian, she has never taken anyone else seriously, let alone when someone dares to speak to her like that.

When she heard Ye Jing's words, her face instantly became extremely stiff. Her eyes turned red with anger. It was as if there was a fire in her heart, burning her internal organs. She looked at Ye Jing with extreme anger and said, "Ye Jing, say what you just said to me again!"

Ye Jing lowered her head with some guilt. No matter what Qiu Min was like, she gave birth to her. Although she often scolded her, she never went hungry. She opened her mouth to apologize.

"This is the daughter I raised with so much hardship. She's so good, so good." Qiu Min looked at Ye Shimian with a sad expression and cried, "Shimian, look, I was right, wasn't she cleaning the house? She was just cleaning herself. Look at how messy she is. Who knows, she might have been fooling around with some shady people before coming back."

Ye Jing swallowed the three words "I'm sorry" that were about to come out of her mouth, looked at Qiu Min with complicated eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Mom, do you know what you are saying? I am your daughter!"

"You still know that I'm your mother, then what are you talking about? I'm telling you, Ye Jing, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I really regret giving birth to such an evil creature like you—"

"Shut up!" Ye Shimian slammed the bowl on the table with a bang, interrupting Qiu Min harshly. He was afraid that if he didn't stop her, Qiu Min would say everything in her heart, and even directly reveal the secret that she liked Ye Jing, which they all knew.

In fact, he had known for a long time that Qiu Min had seen the photo album, and he guessed that she knew that he liked Ye Jing, but since she chose not to ask, he would pretend that he didn't know. Anyway, it would not be good for him if the matter became a big deal. On the contrary, by doing it quietly, he could separate Qiu Min and Ye Jing imperceptibly, and even let Qiu Min help him get Ye Jing.

Therefore, try not to break this window paper until the right time.

The meal ended in a bad mood.

After returning to the bedroom, Ye Jing closed her eyes and lay on the bed. The scenes in the restaurant before emerged in her mind, and the uncomfortable feeling on her wrist that was touched by Ye Shimian came back.

She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.

The sick feeling in my chest just wouldn't go away.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Jing stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower. When she passed the door, she somehow reached out and locked it.

…

After Xie Fei sent Ye Jing away, he strolled back home. When he opened the door, he saw two tall and strong boys, one sitting on the sofa and the other walking back and forth in the living room. Both of them had thick frowns on their dark faces.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two looked over in surprise. Jiang Wei quickly walked up to Xie Fei and said, "Brother Yi, you're finally back. We were so worried. If you don't come back, I'm going to look for you."

The two came in while talking. Xiao Yumo looked at Xie Fei with a dark look in his eyes: "You are injured?"

"It's just a minor injury, I won't die." Xie Fei shrugged nonchalantly, pulled his shirt out of his pants and took it off, "I could have escaped from Tonglou quietly, but a cat appeared out of nowhere, disrupting my plan and alarming those people. In order not to show my face, I had to sacrifice my stomach."

"It's good that we weren't exposed, otherwise our mission would have failed." Xiao Yumo said.

At this time, Jiang Wei came out with a medical kit. He saw the bloody and blurred scar on Xie Fei's waist and abdomen. He covered his eyes and said, "Oh my god, Brother Yi, your wound is so eye-catching."

"It's good that your eyes are not covered. Stop talking nonsense and disinfect and apply medicine for me." Xie Fei said in a muffled voice while lying on the sofa.

"Okay, got it, sir." Jiang Wei responded, opened the medicine box and began to treat Xie Fei.

Xiao Yumo took a look and then asked, "What happened on the way? You came back more than an hour later than expected. If I hadn't seen you send me a distress signal, I would have gone back to pick you up."

"On the way back, Zhang Wenhu saw me. He wanted to take advantage of my injury and bring some people to teach me a lesson, so I beat him back." Xie Fei frowned while enduring the pain.

"Hey, good fight." Jiang Wei interrupted, "This fat guy is not good at anything else, except that he is pretty good as a punching bag."

Xiao Yumo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did he see you injured?"

Xie Fei nodded: "I saw it."

"The situation is not good then." Xiao Yumo said slowly, touching his chin.

Xie Fei understood what he meant. Zhang Wenhu saw that he was injured. If the target came here to investigate, he would be easily exposed.

After a moment's silence, Xie Fei said, "Then let's create some trouble for Zhang Wenhu so that he and his brothers don't even have the chance to be questioned."

He was just worried about what would happen if he was not by her side when Zhang Wenhu took revenge on Ye Jing.

"What, do you have a solution?" Xiao Yumo's eyes lit up when he heard him say that, and he asked with a smile.

Xie Fei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Xiao Yumo and said slowly: "There is a place that the target will never go to."

Xiao Yumo looked at Xie Fei and thought for a while. He was startled at first, then he smiled and said, "Then Weizi and I will go out tomorrow and deal with this matter as soon as possible."

The understanding in his smile clearly showed that he had understood Xie Fei's thoughts. Jiang Wei frowned and looked at the two of them, then pouted and said, "What on earth are you two talking about? I don't understand at all."

Xiao Yumo rolled his eyes at him, turned to Xie Fei and said, "I think the two of us are enough for this mission. How about applying to the organization?"

"Hey, don't worry. I'm a good doctor. Besides, if you guys provide the ideas, someone has to contribute the work, right, Brother Yi?" Jiang Wei apologized quickly with a smile.

Xie Fei smiled noncommittally, raised his hand and pointed at the bow tied with gauze around his waist, and looked at Jiang Wei with a half-smile: "Are you sure you want this?"

Jiang Wei smiled flatteringly and quickly tied the knot again. Xie Fei took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket and threw it to Xiao Yumo, saying, "This is what I copied. What about you? Did you get the copy?"

"Of course, most people are attracted away by the noise over there." Xiao Yumo plugged in the USB drive, looked at the computer and joked without turning his head.

"That's nearly one-third of the way there. Once you crack the information and find their core base, we'll complete the final mission." Xie Fei said calmly.

The next morning, Xiao Yumo and Jiang Wei went out and did not come back until after midnight. Then after Monday morning self-study, news spread from the school that Zhang Wenhu and several others were arrested and imprisoned by the police for gathering together to take drugs.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Jing couldn't help but feel relieved, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the empty seat behind her.

When the bell for the first class rang, the figure that had made her worried finally appeared. Xie Fei walked into the classroom calmly. Ye Jing took a quick glance and lowered her head to read the textbook. Only she knew the tension in her heart.

Tick, tick, tick.

He walked closer step by step, and the sound of his footsteps seemed to hit her heart. Her heartbeat was so panicked that it seemed as if it was not her own.

Finally he walked over, and Ye Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. She took a deep breath and prepared to turn to the part she was going to learn today. At this moment, a warm breath suddenly hit her ear, and a deep and magnetic male voice rushed into her mind through her ear, exploding like a gorgeous firework -

Good morning, monitor.

Ye Jing raised her head suddenly as if she had received an electric shock. She was stunned for a long time before pretending to be calm and responded, "Good morning..."

She had just uttered the word "morning" when she couldn't continue.

The two were so close that she could see her own reflection in his eyes. His eyes were full of smiles, and his eyelashes were so long and thick that it seemed as if electric currents were passing through them when they flashed, making people lose their minds.

The warm breath came over little by little, and Ye Jing felt his scent lingering all over her body. Her cheeks suddenly felt hot as if she had drunk wine, and her heart was pounding in her chest, as if it would jump out if she wasn't careful.

A subtle atmosphere flowed between the two of them, and the students around them also noticed something was wrong. The whole classroom gradually became quiet. Ye Jing calmed down and was about to speak when the bell rang. She changed her words and said, "It's time for class. Go back to your seat and sit down."

"Yes, housekeeper." Xie Fei couldn't help but chuckled, then he straightened up leisurely and staggered back to his seat, leaving Ye Jing, who was stunned by the word "housekeeper" and blushed with shame and anger.

Xie Fei had a happy smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. Jiang Wei looked him up and down for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Brother Yi, are you interested in En En?"

As he said this, he raised his chin towards Ye Jing.

Xie Fei glanced at him and said lightly: "Guess."

"I guess there must be." Jiang Wei pointed at Xie Fei's eyes and laughed, "You don't know, your eyeballs were almost glued to someone else just now, the kind that couldn't be peeled off."

"Oh." Xie Fei smiled indifferently, "You looked very carefully."

Jiang Wei then felt something was wrong, and felt a chill on his neck. He quickly smiled and said in a flattering way, "That's for sure. This is about my future sister-in-law, so I can't be careless."

The word "sister-in-law" obviously pleased Xie Fei. Even though he was indifferent, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

The Chinese teacher was giving a class at the podium. Ye Jing had already composed herself and was listening attentively. Gradually, she became absorbed in the lesson, and the pen in her hand was writing smoothly. After Xie Fei and Jiang Wei finished talking, they turned around and saw this scene.

The faint sunlight of the early morning poured into the classroom through the window. The girl looked at the projector with shining eyes. Her high scorpion braids swayed left and right with her movements, like an elf dancing in the sun.

Xie Fei supported his chin with one hand, a slight smile on his lips, and just watched her every move, every frown and smile quietly.

Jiang Wei, who was standing by, didn't notice that someone was lost in thought. He reached out and poked Xie Fei and said, "Brother Yi, I remember you have a magazine. Can you show it to me?"

"Take it yourself." Xie Fei said lightly.

"Okay." Jiang Wei smiled, bent down and reached into Xie Fei's drawer. He didn't find the magazine, but he found a small transparent box. He could tell at a glance that there were several ointments for external injuries inside. There was also a sticky note on the box, with two words written on it in a neat handwriting - Ye Jing.

Hey, the guy is in love and the girl is interested.

The author has something to say: ??Xie Fei: I give you a little heart~~

Ye Jing: Oh, you should take medicine!

Hahahaha, I, Hu Hansan, am back again (putting my hands on my hips and laughing). I took a few days off due to a strained waist and thigh. From today on, I will update daily. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, muah (づ￣ 3￣)づ
