The next day, Nie Xin saw Sang Qing standing at the door and was so shocked that her jaw almost dislocated.
"Young Master Xin." The British butler, dressed in a tuxedo, bowed politely. "Our young master has instructed that Miss Sunny will be living here from now on, and will be under your protection!"
Nie Xin didn't react for a long time.
This morning, before he was fully awake, he received a call from Jiang Can. In his groggy state, he overheard Jiang Can saying a bunch of things, like Sang Qing wasn't safe staying at her place, they had something important to do, and they had to protect Sang Qing...
He thought he was dreaming.
So Jiang Can said she would send Sang Qing to him, and he agreed several times in a perfunctory manner.
Unexpectedly...
"Hey, wait a minute!" Nie Xin failed to stop the British butler and almost bumped into Sang Qing.
Sang Qing stood there timidly, carrying her luggage. Nie Xin glanced at her, frowned impatiently, but his hand involuntarily took the bag from her.
He quickly had another room booked.
"Room key." He glanced at her indifferently. "You'll stay in this room."
Sang Qing nodded obediently.
"There will be someone to clean the room every day, and there is a self-service restaurant downstairs where you can eat whatever you want. Just show your room card to the staff."
"Um."
“Just tell me if you need anything.” These words slipped out, but Nie Xin coughed twice, emphasizing, “What I mean is… this room is still booked in my name. You don’t have identification. What if you call the front desk and they routinely check your ID card when they deliver something? So it’s more convenient for you to tell me, and I’ll have the front desk deliver it!”
"Oh, okay." Sang Qing nodded seriously, then stammered, "Then uncle... I, I want that, is that okay?"
Nie Xin frowned. "What?"
"It's just..." The girl's face flushed red, her voice barely audible, "It's just..."
She mentioned a brand.
Nie Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and felt embarrassed as well.
That's a very cheap sanitary napkin brand. Besides being cheap, it has no other advantages, and I heard it's even had quality issues that caused disputes.
He looked at her, and she was still standing there like a little rabbit, head down, her big eyes looking left and right, but she didn't dare to look at him.
For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Um, I... I'll have them deliver it in a bit," Nie Xin mumbled in agreement.
Sang Qing was taken aback, then smiled with relief.
Although his expression was cold, he probably didn't dislike her that much, right?
"Thank you, Uncle!" Her voice was clear and bright, and she started talking a lot more. "Hehe... Actually, my period usually doesn't come around this time! I don't know what happened this time, but it came several days early! And I only found out this morning after I went out. I didn't have that thing in my bag, and I was too embarrassed to go back to get it... So I had to trouble you, Uncle!"
"..."
"By the way, you can tell the difference between daytime and nighttime use, right?"
"..."
"Uncle, I'd like to take a shower first and change my pants..."
"Alright, alright!" Nie Xin quickly stopped her. "You don't need to say anything more, I'll go out now!"
...
After staying for a few days, Sang Qing changed her pitiful appearance from the beginning and often annoyed Nie Xin to the point of teetering on the brink of a volcanic eruption.
"Uncle, are you really a movie star in Central City?"
"But I've never seen any of your movies!"
"Oh... I remember now, there was a movie that was released in Europe before, and it was a box office flop. The male lead on the poster looks like you!"
"Brother Ye said you like that female director, is that true?"
"Uncle, why did you hit me on the head?!"
Nie Xin had to exchange countless stares with her every day. If stares didn't kill him, he'd resort to his fists.
He thought that once his visa expired and he returned to the central city, his acting with his eyes would definitely reach a new level!
However, Sang Qing was enjoying it.
She knew he wouldn't really be angry with her.
On her first day there, as soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw sanitary napkins on the table. It was a very high-end brand, displayed on the most expensive shelf in the mall, wrapped in rainbow-colored paper, with a design that was both innocent and dreamy.
She took out a piece, and tears suddenly fell; she couldn't bear to use it.
Uncle said casually, "Girls should use the best of everything when it comes to this kind of thing!"
Sang Qing had never been loved like this before.
So in her heart, uncle became a god-like figure.
She looked up to him, admired him, and secretly loved him passionately.
But knowing her lowly status, she dared not cross the line.
So she joked with him casually, laughing heartily without a care in the world, to cover up her small sense of pride and inferiority.
She secretly counted down the days until his visa expired.
With each passing day, her mood sank a little lower.
She would tell herself that she and he were from different worlds, and that it was already a great opportunity to get to know each other.
At this moment, she and Nie Xin were having a barbecue on the rooftop platform of the hotel.
The weather was nice today, and this was originally just a spur-of-the-moment thing for her, but Nie Xin took it very seriously and immediately had professional barbecue tools and ingredients delivered.
There is also a three-tiered cream cake.
Because Sang Qing had been muttering to herself a couple of days ago that her birthday was coming up soon.
Nie Xin lit the candles and invited her over to make a wish.
Sang Qing knew her wish wouldn't come true, but she still closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed sincerely. When she opened her eyes, she met Nie Xin's deep, dark eyes.
“Uncle,” her nose suddenly felt sore, she had so much to say, but after a long while she managed to squeeze out three words, “Thank you.”
"Did you mention your birthday?" Nie Xin smiled. "It was just a small favor. You're eighteen now, you should have a coming-of-age ceremony. This time it was a bit rushed, I'll make it up to you next time it's your birthday!"
Will there be a next time?
"Um?"
Sang Qing quickly shook her head and laughed heartily.
"Uncle said it! Next time it's my birthday, you have to throw me a huge party! I mean, I want a party like a royal princess's party, it has to be super, super luxurious and grand!"
Nie Xin smiled and vigorously ruffled her hair.
"good."
"Then I'll need a birthday present too! How about a diamond necklace?"
"You greedy bastard, how dare you ask me for something so expensive?"
"Just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not?"
"No way!" Nie Xin glared at her. "Don't I look like I'm wearing a diamond necklace?"
