Mi Rong who had been supporting grandma Feng was slightly startled when another hand had grabbed hers. The other person's hand was much bigger than hers and was quite cold. It must have been because of the cold weather.

When she looked up, she saw the person she did not expect to see. He had not been back for the past few days and his presence was unusual to her. However, seeing all the worries showing in his eyes, she only kept quiet.

They stopped at the steps for while. She watched as he was asking how his grandma was and Qing Qing who was describing what had happened to him.

"Jun Kai, you're finally here. This old one thought that you'd never come."

"I'm sorry grandma, I had been busy with work. What happened?"

Qing Qing who had already caught up and was now walking by the sides explained, "Great-grandma, must have felt dizzy and nearly fell down. If it weren't for Rong jie, she would have not been safe and sound like now." When Qing Qing was talking about Mi Rong she was in all smiles.

Jun Kai had finally looked up at the other person. This time there was no longer any coldness in his eyes. "Thank you." ...for everything....

Mi Rong awkwardly smiled and replied, "It's no big deal." Although he had only said just a thank you, it seemed he had some more words to say. But just his Thank you seemed to have such momentum to her. It was weird hearing Jun Kai say thank you to her.

It became quiet for a second and Mi Rong was feeling slightly awkward with the atmosphere, she remembered about her hand in his. So, she slightly pulled her hand back to remind the other person.

Jun Kai only realized that he had been holding onto her hands all this time. He then quickly pulled his hands away and then supported his grandma's back. "Ahem, let's get grandma to bed then."

"Yeah, we should." Mi Rong peeked at Jun Kai for a second and could only smile inside, she wondered that there was this part to this person as well. However, if she had looked at Jun Kai a little longer, she would have noticed that his ears had turned slightly red.

Qing Qing was slightly puzzled with the mood with the two adults. She decided to bend her back a little to check her great grandma's back and saw that her father's hand was placed below her Rong jie's. It seemed a litttle too close, but she did not know that their hands had been even closer that now. She giggled a little and decided to give them some "space".

"Pa, I'll go wash and wait for you in my bed. Great-grandma, I'll excuse myself first."

"Go dear, I've got your dad and Rong-er with me."

"Yes." She then quickly ran up the stairs and did not forget to nudge Xiao Bai to follow her.

Before Xiao Bai left, he telepathed to Mi Rong, "Good luck with him."

Mi Rong only coldly glanced at him before that old dong left. Tsk.

...

Inside grandma Feng's room.

Both Mi Rong and Jun Kai gently laid grandma Feng down on her bed and tucked her underneath a thick warm blanket. Grandma Feng seemed to have fallen asleep when they placed her down on the bed.

They were looking at grandma Feng on the side of the bed.

Jun Kai decided to ask Mi Rong of grandma Feng's condition. "Sigh, is she alright?"

"Yes, she just needs some rest. It must have been because of the cold weather. I'll try to keep her inside more."

"Hmm."

Then the room came into silence. Jun Kai moved closer to his grandma and sat beside her on the bed.

Mi Rong was hesitant to stay or leave, but she could not tolerate the silence any longer, "I'll go check on Qing Qing then."

Jun Kai did not move and only replied with "Hmm." With that, Mi Rong quickly left the room.

When the other person left the room, Jun Kai was still looking at the direction of the door. There seemed to be many thoughts going inside him that he had been staring at that direction for quite a while.

Grandma Feng gave a peek at her grandson and slightly smiled before quickly shutting them again. Tsk tsk, this grandson of hers is really slow. This cannot go on, or else who knows who will become her granddaughter. Her son is already on the move for searching candidates for her grandson, she can't just let anyone come into her Feng family. That old man would think the same.

Sigh, if that old man was still here, she wouldn't have to do all of this. He really could not wait to leave with her and had to leave her alone with their grandson and their son that knows no good just like that old man.

...

@ 11 pm

Jun Kai had already put Qing Qing to bed with Xiao Bai lying beneath her bed. He was now enjoying a hot cocoa on his balcony. The moon was shining brightly tonight and he felt like catching some cool breeze.

Someone else also had the same thoughts; however, she had her back turned away from him. It seems she was talking on the phone with someone. Without realizing, Jun Kai was already listening and watching the other person on the phone.

"How's the preparation going?"

"Sorry, I couldn't help you out and could only send someone else instead."

"Of course I'm coming tomorrow."

"Grandma Feng and Qing Qing might come, I'll tell them for you."

"Alright good night, see you Xia Yun."

It looks like she was talking with her friend. Then Mi Rong turned herself around and their eyes met. Mi Rong nearly stumbled, but luckily she changed her landing slightly and was able to re-balance herself.

Jun Kai's eyes slightly widened and stepped forward one step when he saw Mi Rong nearly falling over, luckily she did not.

Mi Rong then looked up and laughed dryly, "Um, I'll be going to sleep now. Good night."

"Goodnight." Mi Rong smiled and went back inside.

Jun Kai was now left alone on his balcony. He was still looking over to the other person's balcony, only when the lights had turned off, he also went back inside to sleep.
