Continuing on from the last chapter this title is in Cantonese and can be roughly translated to Bai Ah where ah is used to refer to someone affectionately and the bai from Jin Fubai but I thought it was a bit awkward so I just used Bai.
Jin Fubai was a very generous lover, if you tell him to coax you, he will really make you feel his affection every time. Suddenly Xiang Yu who heard ‘like’ in Cantonese was stunned in his arms for a while and did not answer in time.
Jin Fubai didn’t say anything more, just bowed his head, kissed her and placed her into the car. Jin Fubai drove the car with Xiang Yu late into the night back and forth through Beijing. The lights in all of the houses were silent, and only the lights of some large enterprises were still lit up dimly.
Parking at the front of a 7-11 convenience store on the road, Jin Fubai got out of the car and bought two packs of sanitary pads and a hot water bottle. He put the plastic bag with the things he brought in the back seat and Xiang Yu turned to look at him from the front passenger seat while holding the back of the seat. She looked like she wanted to talk but hesitated as if something aroused within her mind
“Hmm?”
Xiang Yu rarely put on a full face of makeup. She would often simply put on her base makeup, a little bit of eye makeup and then lipstick, this kind of makeup only takes 5 minutes. At this time, it was around 2 hours past midnight and from when she slept in the hospital almost all of her makeup was gone.
So, when she raised her eyes, she gave off a sense of childishness. Jin Fubai’s gaze fell on her face and he asked her, “What did you want to say?”
Xiang Yu was not straightforward, “Jin Fubai, are you hungry?”
“Not hungry.” Knowing it was herself that wanted to eat yet the man deliberately replied that he was not hungry.
“Oh.” Xiang Yu inhaled deeply, “Then I will go by myself.”
As she said this, she seemed to really want to exit the car with her hands on the handles. Jin Fubai hurriedly stopped her, and leaned against the door of the car outside, “Be honest, what do you want to eat, I’ll buy it, it’s chilly outside, what are you trying to do?”
“I want to eat oden! 3 skewers!”
In the night, she was sitting in Jin Fubai’s car eating oden. She took a ball and delivered it to Jin Fubai’s mouth, “Would you like to try it, it’s really delicious.”
“I’m driving, don’t make trouble.”
“You, this kind of person, have you never eaten oden from a convenience store?”
“Ate.”
Xiang Yu was surprised at this, but Jin Fubai glanced at her, “I was 21 years old too.” But she actually couldn’t imagine, a gracious person like him would squat at the door of 7-11 at the age of 21 and eat a whole portion of oden.
Jin Fubai’s car drove into a hotel and just looking at the decoration, Xiang Yu knew that the owner of this hotel was probably the same person as the one in Changsha.
Once one enters the hotel there is a little western-style angel fountain in the Chinese garden. The funniest thing is that the white marble statue next to the fountain is actually □□, making the overall theme of the fountain look a bit like “a toad wants to eat swan meat.”
The boxes are actually copied from the chapters, I’m guessing it was probably ‘naked’
Xiang Yu couldn’t hold back, holding a cup of oden, she laughed. Jin Fubai seemed to know what Xiang Yu was thinking, and said, “This hotel and that hotel in Changsha both belong to Li Chi.”
When she heard Li Chi’s name she reflected for a few seconds.
At the dinner table, Xiang Yu didn’t pay too much attention to Li Chi. Her impression of him was just “dressed like a Christmas tree”, “mind is not too clean”, and “excellent emotional intelligence.” But now that Jin Fubai said that, she recalled Li Chi’s outfit and suddenly felt that the hotel’s style was exactly the same as his outfit.
If Li Chi is the owner of the hotel in Changsha, it was no wonder that he would say when shaking hands with her, “I’ve heard of you for a long time and today I’ve finally got the chance to see you. Sure enough, a beautiful woman.”
At that time, Xiang Yu was still very puzzled.
“Heard of you for a long time?” Jin Fubai didn’t look like someone who would continuously mention the name of a woman.
The owner of that hotel in Changsha is Li Chi, so he knew of her existence as early as July and he had heard of her for a long time. Perhaps he had also checked the surveillance video through the identity as the hotel owner and saw how she met Jin Fubai in a nightgown at the front desk of the hotel.
Seeing Xiang Yu remain silent, and fearing that she would think of Li Mao’s words again, Jin Fubai turned to a new topic, asking her to choose a bedroom at her own will.
Just like in Changsha, he lived in a suite alone with several bedrooms upstairs for her to choose from. Jin Fubai has probably lived here before, as he even had a change of clothes in the hotel room.
Xiang Yu said, “I will live in any room where no woman has stayed overnight.”
“None.” Jin Fubai smiled and glanced at her, seeing her having this kind of tiny thought put him in a rather nice feeling, and then pulled her wrist. “You live next door to me, it’s closer to me.”
He said to her to rest early and not to stay up too late and then went to the next bedroom alone.
Jin Fubai had given her too much gentleness in this night, stirring her up and making her heart go weak. What kind of person would stay in a hotel all year round? Was it like her who occasionally stayed at Tang Yuchi’s house because she didn’t like the openness and quietness of her house?
After taking a hot bath Xiang Yu sat on the side of the bed wearing Jin Fubai’s new shirt. She thought about it, walked out of the bedroom with her pillow in her arms and opened the door to the next room.
Jin Fubai’s bedroom door was unlocked, he should have just finished smoking a cigarette and the air was full of an agarwood scent. The light in the bedroom was not turned on and the curtains not drawn. The moonlight merged into the room from the window, illuminating his profile.
Jin Fubai sat on the bed with his upper body naked, looking up to the door in the dim light, his voice was slightly sleepy as he said, “Can’t sleep?” There was a crystal ashtray at the bedside with several cigarette butts in it. The bedroom had a very large TV, and a few CDs on the DVD player.
Xiangyu walked in with the pillow, naturally placing the pillow next to him on the bed, and then got into his quilt, “No, I will accompany you.”
Jin Fubai gave her a funny look, put his hand under the quilt, squeezed her leg, and tried to pinch her, “Knowing that I can’t do it with you, you’re trying to deliberately torture me isn’t it?”
“I’m really here to accompany you.”
Xiang Yu moved part of her body trying to avoid his hand, but she was hugged around the waist and pressed into his arms. They leaned against each other and Xiang Yu could clearly feel the muscle outlines in his legs.
Maybe it was because she was too stiff that Jin Fubai chuckled lightly and said in a deep loving tone, “I won’t touch you, what are you nervous about?”
The doctor said he can’t do it during this period. Jin Fubai entangled her in a kiss for a while. His breathing not disarrayed he only held the person in his arms and put his palm on her lower abdomen through the shirt, “Go to sleep, it’s not early anymore. Don’t go to work tomorrow and sleep in.”
Xiang Yu felt the warmth of his palm and suddenly felt that if this night passed, it would be difficult for them to have such a simple and tender moment again. She won’t be on her period forever and the next time she laid on his bed, some things would definitely happen.
So, she looked at Jin Fubai with a pair of eyes bright, “Are all the CDs on your bedside all movies?”
“Yeah.”
“The serious kind? Or something else?”
Jin Fubai put his lips on her ears, “Guess.”
He was probably sleepy, his voice had become lazier, and she couldn’t tell whether it was intentional or unintentional as when he spoke, the tip of his tongue gently swept on her outer ear.
Xiang Yu’s eyelashes trembled, she tightened her posture and did not flinch and was able to answer him, “I guess all of them.”
That night she was full of energy, she got up and picked a Hong Kong movie to play. Jin Fubai was obviously very sleepy yet he still hugged her helplessly to watch the movie. “I Corrupt All Cops” was not too old, it was only released two or three years ago and there were many famous actors in it, the plot was not bad.
Xiang Yu saw one of the protagonists played by Eason Chan sitting in a car and handing a white handkerchief to the woman beside him. The woman took the handkerchief, touched it, and found a huge diamond ring inside. The lead said that he has nine wives, but he has never been in a relationship.
Xiang Yu yawned, and even ridiculed herself: Will Jin Fubai get married in the future and feel that he has never been in a relationship before?
She laughed and Jin Fubai who had closed his eyes, sleeping, had awakened, and his eyes were so tired that it was like he had an extra crease on his eyelids, “Aren’t you sleepy?”
Xiang Yu turned and hugged his neck, using Cantonese in an abnormal manner, saying, “Bai~~, I like you too.”
She spoke in a strange tone and there were hints of a Taiwanese accent. And the word “Bai” was like the name of a pet.
Jin Fubai closed his eyes again, pulled her back into the quilt and with a smile on his lips, he touched the remote control to turn off the TV, “Don’t stay up, go to bed.”
After that day, Jin Fubai went abroad and didn’t come back for more than a month, saying that there was an elderly in his family that was in poor health and needed to be watched.
They would occasionally talk on the phone. Jin Fubai did not make any mistakes in calculating the time difference like her parents did and he never called her when she was working. Often at lunch break or on her way to work in the early morning sometimes he would interrupt her playing snake, she would grit her teeth and over the phone call his name, “Jin. Fu. Bai.”
During these situations, the person on the other side of the phone would chuckle and knowingly ask, “What’s the matter?”
In early December there was a light snowfall in Beijing and Xiang Yu wore a white down jacket and while on her walk to work her breath became frosty. When she called Jin Fubai, she asked, “When are you coming back?”
“Miss me?”
Xiang Yu didn’t say a word, Jin Fubai said, “Maybe after Chinese New Year.”
“After Chinese New Year?”
Xiang Yu took out her phone from her pocket and glanced at it, “Chinese New Year is in February, so it will take two months till you’re back?”
At Jin Fubai’s side, it was night and very quiet. He still had the same words, “If you miss me, I will come back early.”
Xiang Yu said, “I don’t need you. If you return in 2 months, then I’ll just have to find someone else to accompany me on Christmas, New Year’s Day and Valentine’s Day.”
Jin Fubai’s laughter came through the phone, mixed with the winter of Beijing. A whistling cold wind rustled into her ears. Xiang Yu heard him say, wait, I won’t let you have this kind of opportunity.
In fact, Xiang Yu is the only one who leads a peaceful life. Jin Fubai took her to out eat and play everywhere. The news spread in his circle for a long time and even when he was abroad, people would often ask if there was a woman around him recently. Jin Fubai laughed and never gave a direct answer.
Many of the stories changed after they were passed on and by the time they reached Tang Yuchi’s ears the rumours had already been passed more than 800 times. The degree of explosiveness also increased by more than 800 levels.
On the second weekend of December, Xiang Yu who was sleeping at home received a call from Tang Yuchi.
She lazily put the phone to her ear and heard Tang Yuchi yell at her in a steady voice, “Xiang Yu, get out here now, see if I won’t beat you to death for godmother and godfather!”
Xiang Yu was quite confused, she sat up stilled for half a minute. Doing the math, she had been dragged by the company to work overtime every day and it had really been a long time since she last saw her godfather and godmother. Although she was guilty, she was not guilty of something worth death, so he didn’t have to kill her right?
She didn’t speak, Tang Yuchi’s crude voice kept coming from her phone, and it sounded like he was going to die of anger. Xiang Yu suddenly remembered that in the evening a few months ago, Tang Yuchi held Jin Fubai’s shirt and said for her to stay away from him.
“…Is it because of Jin Fubai?”
Tang Yuchi was so angry that his voice was trembling, “Xiang Yu, you are really capable. I say why you didn’t even show your face around this time. I heard that he found you the most skilled professor in gynaecology to give you an abortion?!”
