The dinner went like the usual, only, Cheng Feng seemed a bit absent minded, Xue noticed it immediately. " Was the work tiring today ? ", her gaze was a bit worried. There were a few times that he looked like this. Usually it was caused by some troubles at work. He shook his head, and patiently explained what happened in the small incident from before. " I'll show you her picture later, I'll ask Lu to send them ", he gazed at her, worried. " Don't think too much about it ", he rubbed her head. Now it was her turn to be absent minded.
That night they went to sleep together too, when he hugged her, she didn't refuse it. " Just sleep, sometimes nothing, it's coincidental. We'll know tomorrow ", he whispered close to her ear, " hahaha, it's ticklish ", she giggled. " Oh, sorry ", he could feel her shaky shoulders bumping into his chest. In his arms, her frame was so small, his arms were enough to circle around her. Like this, both of them drifted in deep sleep, their heartbeats were a rhythmic lullaby.
In a white wards, a few doctors checked on papers and computers. A girl was sitting there, nervously tugging at the blanket. She was biting her lower lip, looking worried, her eyes were shifting around, without focus. Her long dark hair were draped on her back, like silk. " Miss Jia, your conditions are quite stable. You'll need to stay at the hospital for a few day for observations ", a doctor spoke, while flipping some pages. Hearing those words her expression didn't ease up at all, seeing her worried expression on her delicate face, a nurse tried to comfort her. " Don't worry too much, miss Jia. We'll keep you here for a few days to assure that there's nothing wrong. Of course, it's just our regular process ". She smiled at her, she never saw such beauty, almost straight out from the ancient poems wer scholar praised the peerless beauties. Jie Hua smiled back at her, " Thank you ", her voice was soft and pleasing to the heart. The nurse was charmed, she nodded and left.
After everyone left, she hugged her knees and laid back on the huge pillows. Here everyone was kind to her, almost if they were concerned if she was comfy during her stay. It feels a bit out of place, she looked around, it was way… too luxurious and tidy. She wasn't used to this kind of treatment, it was as if a poor girl ascended to a high position, like a daughter of a rich family. Her eyes were half closed, a worried look surfaced again. She sighed, only fairytales were beautiful, real life was way too different and cruel.
Assistant Lu picked up his ringing phone, " Hello ? ", " Mr. Lu, we've received a check up on the patient, Miss Jia is fine. I'll send over the files ", " Thank you ". Cheng Feng raised his brows, " It's about her ? ", " Yes, but, why are you so interested., mn ? ", Sheng Ming rubbed his chin and suddenly his eyes popped out, " Don't tell me that you like her too ?? ". A swift kick reached him, sending him stumbling, " Ouch! That was not needed ", he rubbed his aching leg with a wronged expression.
He ignored his stare and picked up all the reports. After a half hour, he could be certain about a few things. The girl's full name was Jie Jia Hua, she was from a faraway mountain village. It seemed that the reason for her visit in the city was finding one of her relatives. But in reality, it was the classical purpose of finding a husband. It was a normal thing, because a lot of young girls, at their marriage's age, the family would set up blind dates, hoping the daughter would like more comfortably. Her background check was quite plain, nothing stood out, she was like a country girl trying to get a better life in the city. And, yes, yesterday's accident wasn't planned by her or a third party. it was completely a causality.
From the investigation, they found out that she was rushing over the pedestrian crossing, after her blind date went wrong. Her date was a middle aged man, quite well off, but way too old for her age. She was completely horrified and rushed out from the cafe, not seeing the red light, thus the mishap.
Those blue eyes were skimming through the pages, till he found what he wanted. On the paper, there were a few darker words, ' Not relatives '. He felt a bit relieved that she didn't have nothing to do with Xue. Then he suddenly thought, " Check on this possibility too, bring back the results as soon as possible ", " Yes, sir ! ". Cheng Feng rubbed his temple, something didn't add up, there was something odd about this matter. All the investigations reported back that she didn't have any connections with his stepmother or her family. Neither with the Zhao family. But still, he refused to believe that their meetup was coincidental. He had this doubt, since she looked strikingly similar to his wife. He never believed in fate, only facts.
Xue followed her instructor, today, it was stretching day. She repetitively explained to her the importance of relaxing the muscle after exercising, in order to lessen the aftermath. Like sore spots or trembling limbs or cramps. It was also good for recovering from fatigue after stressing the muscles. She was sitting on her mat, with her arms and legs stretched. while her palms were touching the tip of her feet. This was the less taxing exercise on her, if she did the same one, but standing, her back part of her legs, would feel the tension. Since her coach was noting everything down, she was literally creating a new schedule if she noticed some discomfort from her. After this session, she had a calm stroll around the mansion, with her kitten, Luette. She liked to keep her in her arms, like a small baby. She didn't mind either, because she was laying on her shoulders like a warm scarf. And even though her instructor approved this, though the cat wasn't that heavy, she was basically exercising by walking around while holding a weight.
