The Fifth day.
Time flew and it had been five days since Mi Rong had been recuperating in the hospital. Most of the time she would read books, or whenever Qing Qing was bored she would read her stories. From time to time she would also tell Qing Qing stories of myths and tales. Most of the time, after the stories told by Mi Rong, she would tell Qing Qing that 'it's our little secret, only between us'. Qing Qing would also give her a wide smile and resolve to not tell anyone. From time to time Mi Rong's friend, Xia Yun would pop by to say hi and had to quickly leave because of her shifts.
Within the room, there would usually be laughter coming from the room or a silent peace. The atmosphere was just right to recover for both of them.
As for Jun Kai, he had been busy over the past five days and could only come to visit Qing Qing in the night time. During the day he would have someone to keep an eye on Mi Rong and Qing Qing. Occasionally, Mi Rong would be awake when he comes to visit, they would only glance at each other and be in their own worlds.
Mi Rong and Qing Qing would sometimes see him on the news and clearing information with the media.
However, on the fifth day, when Mi Rong woke up, she saw Jun Kai sitting beside Qing Qing drinking coffee. He seemed to be reading something on his phone. Seeing him being serious was quite stunning. His sitting posture was graceful, he seemed to be aloof to the world but she knew deep inside he must be lonely. He made her remembered of someone who she seemed had known but couldn't remember who it was.
While Mi Rong was looking at him and thinking, Jun Kai felt a gaze on him and looked up from his phone. Mi Rong was slightly startled and their eyes met. Their eyes were still locked and Mi Rong decide to end to awkwardness by saying "Hi."
"Hmm." Then he turned back to look at his phone.
What? That was it? Mi Rong then irritably opened her book and started reading. He was simply too much. For a while there was silence in the room. Mi Rong was so focused on her book and she simply ignored others existence in the room. She was looking through the records and finding people.
This time it was Jun Kai who had looked up to observe Mi Rong. A minute ago he was quite surprised to see her looking at him. However, he was better at concealing his emotions. He didn't think that she wouldn't avert her eyes but kept looking at him. Such boldness. She even said hi to him, who was she to casually say hi to him.
Then there was some light movements from Qing Qing. She seems to be awake. At the same time when Jun Kai who had averted his eyes to Qing Qing, Mi Rong had looked up by the noise to check on Qing Qing. She let out a small grin at the little girl. Qing Qing's face when waking up is just the cutest.
Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door. Once the door opened, there was young slender woman standing at the door. She had her hair tied in a professional pony tail with a proper dress and expensive high heels. Her looks was quite elegant and smart. She walked in with a big smile. Mi Rong who had been looking at Qing Qing turned her head and saw the woman walk in.
Mi Rong was quite puzzled with the unexpected guest. She had taken note on the woman's look and gestures and decided she was not the type of person she would associate with, so couldn't be bothered and turned her interest to Qing Qing once again.
It was Jun Kai who had called out to the woman, "Xue Li, you're finally here."
"Yeah, Jun Kai, I heard the news, but I could only make time to come now. How are you?"
"I'm fine, Qing Qing is the one who got hurt."
"Hmm, you must have been hurt a little as well because of..."
Jun Kai then interrupted "Qing Qing, say your greetings to Xue Li." The woman looked a little sorry for nearly slipping Jun Kai's wife's name.
"Oh, hello auntie."
"H..hello Qing Qing, I'm not that so old yet, you can call me jie." Xue Li lovingly talked to Qing Qing.
With a pouted face Qing Qing started whining "But I like calling you auntie, it feels much warmer."
Jun Kai could only send a sorry from his facial expressions to Xue Li, which made her feel much better. So she let it go, "Qing Qing if you like it then I'm happy. Look I also brought you some gifts."
Qing Qing who heard that gave a big smile to both of them.
Mi Rong who was watching everything going own, she had a small smile to herself. From the side when Qing Qing called Xue Li 'auntie' she saw the smile on her face froze a little. She also knew that Qing Qing was intentionally humiliating the woman, because Qing Qing was a polite girl to begin with. She wouldn't simply disregard someone.
However, it was quite surprising for her to see Jun Kai with another woman. Did his love fade already? Or was it just a friend. Hmm. This woman was just like the concubines in her mother's stories, one that would try to curry favour, only to get the wealth and fame. Such a fake person never sincere to no one but themselves.
This time Xue Li turned her focus to Mi Rong and questioned Jun Kai about her identity, "Jun Kai, who is this?"
"Oh, Qing Qing's roommate. She's not someone important."
With this not only Mi Rong who was angry, Qing Qing was also angry at her dad. Although, Mi Rong was quite annoyed with Jun Kai's constant pestering whether it was words or his gaze, she didn't show it on her face. She simply had a 'I don't care' face.
But before she was going to say something, Qing Qing had butt in and squeezed her dad's arm hard.
"Ouch, Qing Qing what was that for?"
"Rong jie is a very important friend of mine if you didn't know, papa!"
Xue Li's mouth twitched, this girl didn't call her jie, but had called this insignificant person jie with such warmth. Then she observed Jun Kai who was now looking at Mi Rong with some blame; however that woman had dared to smile back at Jun Kai. She didn't want to see Jun Kai having other interactions with other woman. This wouldn't do, she must do something. She then tried to make things turn to normal."Uh, Jun Kai I'm sure Qing Qing didn't mean that, she must have been mistaken."
Qing Qing wasn't going to let the matter off, "Aunt Xue Li, how can I, Qing Qing make a small mistake like this?"
Mi Rong didn't want the matter to drag on so she decided to stop Qing Qing, "Qing Qing, the world doesn't have to know about how close we are, also be gentle to your father, he's not so strong like you."
"Alright jie, if you say so."
Jun Kai's eyes lit on fire, he was truly mad at this woman calling him weak.He was never so and as he was going to spit out words to Mi Rong, it was Qing Qing who interrupted him. "Papa, I'm tired, could I spend some time alone." Qing Qing acted like she had a slight headache and was touching her head.
"Oh, Jun Kai, we'll also have to leave or else it might rain before we get there."
"Hmm, alright. Qing Qing, I'll will do some business with Xue Li and be back, okay?"
"Okay."
Xue Li had asked Jun Kai to go out for a lunch with her. They were both now being paired up by their parents; however, they were friends, so Jun Kai used this occasion to meet up as friends. Once they left, Qing Qing who had been acting like having a headache suddenly sat up straight and turned to face Mi Rong. "Jie, don't bother with that auntie, I never really liked her. She is always too much, but she's friends with my mami and papa, so I can't do anything."
"Oh."
"Also, papa just likes to joke, don't take that too serious and be mad at him."
"Hmm."
It seemed Qing Qing was trying to not make her angry at her dad and clearing off the dirt for him, but the debt was to be collected from her father, she would be the one to personally make way to collect it from him.
"Also, jie.."
"Qing Qing, you can stop now. This is your father's personal bill. I'll collect it from him."
Qing Qing who had stayed beside Mi Rong for days was able to understand her, she wasn't a person to let others bully her, but prefered to bully others instead. She was also very stubborn and Qing Qing knew that she couldn't change Mi Rong's mind no matter how she tried. Qing Qing could only whimper, "Jie, don't go too hard on him, pleasee."
"Ke ke, for trying to side with him, Qing Qing you'll have to help me, I'll think of something."
"Jie!"
