The both of them sat in from of the big screen, engrossed in the video, although Han Chen seemed to be paying all his attention to the video, he was sneakily stealing glances at her while she focused all her attention on the video, she squinted her eyes and widened them at different moments of the video depending on how surprised or shocked she is by what she is watching in the video, she was deeply amazed by his suturing skills, his dissecting skills and his speed, the feeling of inferiority was soon replaced by reverence.

However, it didn't take up to three hours of the ten hours video for her to fall asleep, she didn't even realise how stressed and tired she was from working continuously throughout the week with only a few moments of rest added with having to drive that far just to rescue stranded Han Chen, she slowly dozed until she gave in to her urge to sleep while her head fell on his shoulder.​​

He turned his head to the side to see what was wrong with her, he called her name twice without any response then he raised her head and held her shoulders, calling her name again without response, only wince.

"Yu Yan...Yu Yan" he called again while he wobbled her body but she only just pursed and scrunched up her lips and opened her eyes before closing them again.

"I...want...to....sleep" she mumbled in a childish voice, he couldn't help the urge to laugh at her cute self at the moment, if he wasn't drinking with her, he would have thought that she was drunk, he chuckled and turned his face away to prevent himself from bursting into a burst of loud laughter that would wake her up.

He turned to face her again but his eye fell on her scrunched lips but she had already gotten rid of it and her lips were now pursed together, he smiled looking at those rosy lips of hers, with the edges well defined, her lips didn't seem too full or too thin and this is what made her lips a model lips for any woman, his mind drifted back to the first day they kissed.

"You are really tempting me..." he said softly then he swallowed his saliva while his adam's apple moved up and down, he really wanted to lock his lips with hers at that moment but he stopped himself from doing so, with much effort.

"I will wait...until there are no boundaries between us" he mumbled softly then he smiled, he carried her in his arms and walked out of the compartment, he groaned when he realized how heavy she is even though she looks slightly skinny.

He walked down the stair and ended up at the parlour where he laid her on one of the sofa's while he gently placed her head on the edge of the sofa, he looked around the parlour for her shoulder bag, then his eyes caught it lying on the sofa opposite where he had laid her, he opened her bag and brought out her phone.

He unlocked it since she didn't have any password on her phone, his eyes widened at the sudden realization that time had already gone very fast and it was now nine in the night, he walked to the window and opened the curtain since he couldn't believe the time on her phone but it was already dark.

"Should I just leave her to sleep here?" he asked himself aloud, then he turned to look at her face again but she was like a baby sleeping in a cradle, her face seemed really small and her rosy pink lips made her look so innocent and babyish, he moved closer to her and knelt down on one knee in front of the sofa, he traced her face with his gaze from her hairline to her jaw, then his eyes drifted back to her eyelashes, he had almost forgotten that one trait that made him do anything for her the moment she flutters her lashes, she had really long and dark eyelashes that she doesn't even have any need for mascara.

He pushed aside the wavy hair on her face and clutched them behind her ear.

"As much as I want to keep you here, I can imagine your reaction tomorrow morning when you find yourself in my house," his lips curved into a warm smile then he lifted her body into his arms and carried her out of his house, he laid her in the passenger's seat next to the driver's seat of his car and fastened her seat belt for her then he reclined the chair backwards to make her comfortable.

Before he started driving, he dialled Jia Yu's number on his car mobile since he doesn't know her address and he doesn't think she would like to find out that he personally drove her home to avoid misunderstanding in her parent's side, he waited for a while for an answer on the other side then he heard a perpetually tired voice on the phone.

"Hello, who is this?" Jia Yu asked in a drawled voice

"you didn't even check who it is before picking up the call," Han Chen said in a nagging tone, at the sound of his voice her tired eyes fully opened then she moved the phone away from her ear to confirm that the voice belongs to her cousin but she saw that it wasn't his normal number he is calling her from.

"Brother!" Jia Yu said aloud before placing the phone on her ear.

"Are you just realizing that?" he answered in a disappointed tone

"Brother! I have been calling you for the whole day but you didn't pick your phone, you had me worried sick, do you know how worried I was, I almost went to the police station if not for your friends that informed me that you went to your company but you still weren't picking your calls!" Jia Yu ranted in a tense voice, on the other side of the phone, she heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed her chest to get rid of the anxiety she has been feeling while she paraded Ji Chen's balcony in hopes of hearing from her brother.

"It seems like you were really worried but did those two idiots not tell you that I lost my phone, that is why I couldn't see your missed calls or call you, I am currently calling you through my car's mobile," Han Chen said in a soothing tone to ease her worries with a smile on his face, it has been long since he has heard his sister sound like that because she is worried about him.

"anyways, you have to compensate me for the stress you put me through today," Jia Yu said in a childish voice.

"Didn't I tell you that he will be fine," Ji Chen said as he walked to the balcony then he wrapped his arms around her waist and gave her a peck on her cheeks, making her smile with her lips scrunched and pouted up, then she placed one of her hands on his hands around her waist.

"hmmm...hmmm, I thought you said you were worried about me but it turns out that you are at your boyfriend's house," Han Chen said jokingly.

She removed her hand from his hands and pointed at her phone with an embarrassed look on her face then he unwrapped his hands from her waist and moved to her side with a slightly alarmed look on his face.

"Your brother..." he whispered, then she nodded her head in affirmation.

He covered his mouth with both of his hands at the sudden realization of the embarrassment he has caused both of them, he thought of how he was going to face her brother when next they meet even though they are adults. she is still his sister.

"You can't say anything now right and you still want compensation, why don't I make a call to your mother and tell her about this," Han Chen threatened while he controlled his urge to laugh at how evil he is to threaten his sister.

"Brother!" Jia Yu shouted

"Alright, I won't tell, I was just teasing you"

"Better, why did you call me anyway?" she asked in a serious tone while Ji Chen walked out of the balcony in relief when he heard that he was just joking.

"I had almost forgotten...." then he turned to look at Huo Ying who turned her face to the other side the moment he glanced at her.

"Your friend is in my car but I don't know her address, so text me her house address," Han Chen enquired without unduly curious.

"Which of my friends are you talking about?" Jia Yu asked, the only female friend she has ever introduced to Han Chen is Yu Yan but she completely doubted that there is any chance that Yu Yan will be in Han Chen's car, after all, they didn't seem that close.

"Which of your girlfriends am I acquainted with?" Han Chen questioned rhetorically, he knows that she must have guessed that he was talking about Yu Yan but she still asked him the stupid questions.

"You are not referring to Yu Yan, are you?" Jia Yu asked in disbelief

"now that you have made the right guess, can you tell me or text me her address, I don't intend to spend the whole night in my car," Han Chen said, he was already starting to get annoyed at her questions but he wasn't surprised that she was shocked by the revelation that Yu Yan is presently in his car since the both of them haven't told her about their private meetings after they met for the first time.

"What! are you telling me that Yu Yan is in your car, is she drunk or what, why will you drive her home, what did you do brother?" Jia Yu asked frantically without even giving him the chance to at least explain himself.

"Hmmph! what sort of nonsense are you imagining in that little head of yours, I will explain to you later, just tell me her house address?" Han Chen answered with his voice slightly raised.

"Trust me, you have a whole lot of explanation to give, she is living with her parents, what are they going to think when you drop her, is she drunk or what?" Jia Yu asked again, her tone sounding like is speaking to her child or junior brother.

Han Chen took in a deep breath to prevent himself from bursting out, he just asked her a question but she has said more than she was required to say.

"You know what...bye," Han Chen said then he disconnected the call and started the engine of the car, from the hint she gave him he already discovered her house address, if she is still living with her parents then she might still be living in the same place, he had initially planned to have Jia Yu follow him then there would be no problem when she wakes up and sees the both of them with her but since Jia Yu is with her boyfriend, he didn't want to disturb her anyway.

He fastened his seat belt and drove out of his compound with the gate automatically opening itself, he drove for about forty minutes while trying his best to recollect the way to her house, after all. he hasn't been there for years.

After driving for almost an hour, he finally arrived at a large apartment complex with a green environment as it is encircled by different green plants and walking parks, even the fountain is still the same, he smiled at the memory of the both of them getting drenched in that fountain.

He unfastened his seat belt then he leaned towards her to unfasten hers but he stopped for a moment to glance at her again before she wakes up and changes from her innocent-looking self to the strong and feisty woman she is. Satisfied, he tapped her shoulder to wake her up but when she wouldn't wake up, he decided to increase the volume of the music playing in the car but some middle-aged women passing by were frightened by the sudden increase in volume, they came close to the window and started cursing at him, he quickly reduced the volume while he bowed his head to apologise to them.

He raised his head when he noticed that they had already walked away then he heard a soft groan from Huo Ying, he leaned back on his chair and waited for her to fully open her eyes before saying anything.

"Where am I?" Huo Ying asked, she looked outside the car window, seeing as the outside view resembled the park outside her apartment complex, she looked around again and saw the fountain then her eyes fell on the seat belt, she realized that she is inside someone's car, she turned to see who it is, she silently gasped when she saw Han Chen sitting right beside her.

"Seems like you are fully awake now," Han Chen remarked

"What are you doing here and why am I in your car?" Yu Yan asked with confusion written all over her face.

"If you were drunk, I would have seen the need to answer that question but you are not" Han Chen replied coldly, he didn't want her to get the right impression of him.

"Why didn't you just wake me up?" Yu Yan asked, then she removed the seatbelt and sat upright.

"I did but you refused to open your eyes so I decided to take you home since I am the one who stressed you out," Han Chen answered in a neutral tone.
