Chapter 1992 - 95: Creating a Diversion
"Did you see that? She’s already taken, do you dare to have designs on her?"
"I heard that Captain Dong from back then rarely made a move, but when he did, it was pretty scary."
"How scary?"
"Don’t know, but you’d get beaten up so bad your own mother wouldn’t recognize you."
"Do you guys think Captain Dong came back just for our little beauty queen?"
"What do you think!"
...
Long Xiaotian couldn’t help but explain, "Miss Yan isn’t some beauty queen, she’s a reporter here for a special feature. Captain Dong just came to see his girlfriend."

Jin Bo took Yan Xiaoxi back to Huo Qichang’s dorm room to wash the dishes.
Yan Xiaoxi looked at him, "I’ll go, can’t always freeload and not help out."
Jin Bo, "I’m fine with you freeloading. Is anyone complaining?"
He pushed Yan Xiaoxi down onto the sofa.
Yan Xiaoxi’s gaze fell on him, "Basketball is such intense exercise. Are you okay?"
Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "I’m fine."
He went into the kitchen, washed the dishes in fifteen minutes, peeled an apple for Yan Xiaoxi, handed it to her, sat beside her, and pulled her into his arms.
Yan Xiaoxi looked at Jin Bo, "When are we heading back?"
Jin Bo, "Tomorrow."
He glanced at the small room beside them, "My dad’s never slept in this room. Tonight, we can sleep here."
...
Early the next morning, just as it was getting light, Yan Xiaoxi woke up.
She opened her eyes to see the older man still asleep, her hand rested on his thin lips, then slid down from his chin, her fingertips landing on his Adam’s apple.
His voice was so alluring, rich and intoxicating.
She believed they would quarrel less in the future, if at all.
Jin Bo opened his eyes, caught her hand, "What are you doing?"
Yan Xiaoxi, "Just examining what’s so special about you, why your voice sounds so good."
Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi seriously, "It’s not just my voice that’s special. Would you like to study me some more?"
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Jin Bo got up, walked to the window, pulled open the curtains, glanced outside, and saw that the day was already bright.
He looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Time to get up."
Yan Xiaoxi hugged the blanket, lying there, "I don’t want to get up."
Jin Bo sat at the head of the bed, looking at her.
Yan Xiaoxi looked at Jin Bo, reached out to grasp his big hand, "Good morning."
Jin Bo, "Good morning."
He lifted her hand and gently kissed it with his thin lips.
Yan Xiaoxi looked at Jin Bo.
She never thought she’d be under the same blanket with a man like this. She softly replied, "You need to take responsibility for me, for a lifetime."
Jin Bo gazed at Yan Xiaoxi, "I don’t think I did anything though."
Yan Xiaoxi, "Even if you didn’t do anything, you must take responsibility."
"Alright, if you say take responsibility, then responsibility it is, no going back." Jin Bo sat on the side and started to get dressed.
Yan Xiaoxi looked at Jin Bo, "Your dad probably doesn’t know I stayed over, right?"
Jin Bo, "No, he doesn’t."
Yan Xiaoxi, "That’s good then."
Just as she finished speaking, Jin Bo’s phone rang.
Seeing it was Fang Zheng, Jin Bo answered, but before he could say a word, Fang Zheng’s voice came through, "Mayor Jin, something terrible has happened."
