The next three days passed with Wu Lina and the team trying to finish the task as soon as possible because the clients had demanded an early delivery.
Yang Xinyu had to visit the Tokyo office, so he was not in the office for those three days, mercifully for Wu Lina. She could concentrate on her work at hand. On Friday the team had completed the task and it was now ready for quality testing.
These days after work she would go back to her 'home sweet home', and pass out on the soft mattress with her favorite pillow between her legs. She missed her bed.
She realized that she missed Yang Xinyu more than ever… she missed his warmth… his possessiveness… she would often only toss and turn on her bed thinking of him… he used to spend her numerous messages in a day, she would read them, but never replied to them…
She decided to spend a lazy Saturday.

In Tokyo, Yang Xinyu's days were very hectic with twenty meetings and visits to other cities, where they had branches, all stretched within three days. At night he would come back to his hotel dead tired. He would miss her every night. He texted her repeatedly saying that he missed her, he wanted to be her, he wanted to smell her and he loved her, all in a hundred different ways…
She never replied him but at least all the messages he sent had 'read' status.
He had to find out why this beautiful girl who would vouch her life for him had given up on him so soon. What went wrong?
His mind traveled back to the day she had first slept in his hospital room.
He was beginning to get nightmares. The medication wasn't working well. Dr. Zhou was contemplating on increasing the dosage.
He felt calm when Wu Lina was around. He would ask his office to send work to him and while she would sit near him, he would calmly finish his work.
Bo Xilai used to come everyday with new files. He would come in and flirt with Wu Lina. Initially Yang Xinyu took it sportingly, however as the days passed he didn't like Bo Xilai's disposition. He reprimanded him one day for trifling with Wu Lina so brazenly.
Then there was this male nurse that would attend to him after Wu Lina used to leave. He would love to flirt with Wu Lina every time he met her. Yang Xinyu noticed that. Initially he couldn't say much but later he would give dangerous glares to him. Then one day when the male nurse tried to hold Wu Lina's hand forcibly to say goodbye, Yang Xinyu lost his temper.
Yang Xinyu was standing next to window when this incident occurred. He came next to the male nurse, held his hand that was holding Wu Lina and removed it from her with a jerk. "If you do that again, I'll skin you alive," he snarled. The male nurse was surprised and shrank in fear. He backed off.
Yang Xinyu was beginning to get jealous of any man talking to her. He had to keep her occupied to avoid unwanted attention!
He started giving her office documents to read them out pretending that he couldn't focus on them. She used to sit at the edge of the bed near his legs to read them for him. Poor Wu Lina read them aloud for him to hear, but every time she would sleep over them.
He loved watching her sleep next to his legs with documents under her lolling head. Often she would curl up and hug his legs while sleeping on his hospital bed. He would just open her bun to stroke her silky hair, forehead and face. Earlier he did it out of fun, then he was allured, and then he was enraptured. She had bewitched him, although he couldn't understand his feelings and thought this was infatuation, and even thought that it would die down in a few days.
During one such day she said to him, "CEO Yang, is it okay if I bring my computer with me? I have my exams coming up and I haven't prepared well. If you permit me, I can study during the time you are sleeping… After I reach home I am so tired that I sleep. But don't worry, I will cater to all your demands and attend to you first."
He was surprised, "What exams?" He asked.
"I am in final year of computer science," she replied.
"Hmm… that's interesting. But you are a nurse. When did you start studying a computer course?" He enquired.
"This is a part-time course for people who are already working. I go to the classes during weekend. CEO Yang, I must pass this semester with good marks. I have only two more semesters left. After this I will be joining a firm." She didn't say which firm because she didn't want any special treatments from him.
"Besides I had taken some student loans for my nursing course, which are still unpaid." she replied. "Please I will not fail your duty. Kindly allow me to study here…" Her voice trailed off…
"What has your student loans got to do with your computer course? How much is it?" He asked.
She hesitantly replied, "I want to be a coder… I love computer programming over nursing… That is why I enrolled myself in a weekend school… Once I finish my course, I will start working as a computer programmer where salary is better…"
He agreed, totally impressed by the twenty-one year old girl in front of him. "Okay. You may bring your laptop here. I would like to know about your computer course. What modules are there in your course?" His interest in her increased. Unlike many other girls of her age who were merely interested in party-hopping trying to find marriageable boys, Wu Lina was interested in building a promising future.
When she went away that day after finishing her shift, he called Bo Xilai and asked him to find out about Wu Lina's background.
