Chapter 44 Xia Rou’s Realization

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Xia Rou’s Realization ... Compared to Luo Jianbi, Yan Xiaobao was clearly much better. Though his flirtatious ways were downright unreliable, he actually wasn’t a bad person, nor was he detestable. I’ve guarded my chastity for twenty-four years, enduring all kinds of open and covert schemes and conspiracies—it hasn’t been easy at all. This world is full of wolves in sheep’s clothing, as numerous as cattle in the field. Today I managed to avoid Luo Jianbi’s trap, but who knows if tomorrow I won’t fall into the hands of "Zhang Jianbi," "Li Jianbi," or "Wang Jianbi"? Rather than have it forcibly taken by the kind of scum I loathe the most, maybe it’s better to... If tonight Yan Xiaobao insists on doing something to me, then... then let him have the bargain. ... Sure, maybe this "epiphany" was an extreme mindset born of Xia Rou facing intense danger. But regardless, tonight was undoubtedly a perfect "golden opportunity" for Yan Xiaobao. However, after holding Xia Rou tightly, Yan Xiaobao didn’t move to any further intimate actions. Instead, he simply extended a hand and gently stroked Xia Rou’s hair. His movements were so light, so tender, and so loving... Xia Rou felt waves of faint tingling spreading through her body, exceptionally comfortable, and her heart gradually loosened up. ... When she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright. The radiant sunlight streamed into the room, filling it with golden brilliance. "Rourou darling, you’re awake." Yan Xiaobao’s smiling face appeared before Xia Rou, "See? Like I said! Holding you like this, I can guarantee you’ll sleep soundly, peacefully, and sweetly." Xia Rou instinctively nodded. She really did sleep soundly and comfortably through the night—no nightmares at all—her entire body and mind fully relaxed and rested. It felt a bit unbelievable. Even more unbelievable was... She realized her underwear and nightdress were all perfectly in place, without any sign of being taken advantage of. Isn’t this guy supposed to be the most flirtatious and pervy? How could nothing have happened at all after an entire night? Did Yan Xiaobao turn over a new leaf, or... did he hold back rather than exploit her in her most exhausted and vulnerable state? At that moment, Xia Rou’s impression of Yan Xiaobao took a complete 180-degree turn. But before the turn could fully complete, Yan Xiaobao leaned in with his cheeky grin, "Rourou darling, shouldn’t you give me a kiss as a reward?" "Get lost!" Xia Rou shoved Yan Xiaobao’s face away forcefully. After a night of recuperation, Xia Rou’s mind had mostly returned to normal, and the "epiphany" from the previous night had more or less disappeared into thin air. As the saying goes, "Take the flower while it’s blooming; act when the time is ripe." If the chance at this village is missed, who knows when the next inn will come along... "Rourou darling, it’s still early, let’s sleep a little longer." Yan Xiaobao said, reaching out to pull Xia Rou back into his arms. Just then, Xia Rou’s phone rang. Zheng Xiaoyu called to say there was an emergency patient at the clinic and asked Xia Rou to quickly come over and take a look. Yan Xiaobao had no choice but to watch as Xia Rou got up to wash and dress. However, what delighted Yan Xiaobao was that the golden sunlight illuminated Xia Rou, and with her short and thin nightdress, the view was absolutely stunning. ... Arriving at Dexi Hall, Zheng Xiaoyu explained the situation to Xia Rou. The patient had stayed at Binhai Medical University Second Hospital for a week without any improvement, almost draining his funds on medical bills. With no money left, the hospital was going to stop treatment. Helpless, he heard of Doctor Xia’s "Miracle Needle" reputation for extraordinary medical skills and affordable fees nearby and came seeking help. Xia Rou didn’t say much and immediately got to work diagnosing the patient, fully absorbed in her examination. Feeling bored, Yan Xiaobao left on his own to visit the Patrol Office so he could play with his Bingbing darling. freewēbnovel.com At Baofeng District Patrol Third Team, Yan Xiaobao ran into Han Ruobing’s deputy, Constable Xing. Constable Xing greeted Yan Xiaobao warmly, "Mr. Yan, thanks to you for helping us crack the case. Chief Zhang is in an excellent mood and gave the whole team a day off." Yan Xiaobao seemed disappointed, "Huh? So my Bingbing darling isn’t here?" Constable Xing smiled and said, "We worked all night interrogating and closing the case, just wrapped up, and are getting ready to go rest. Chief Han hasn’t left yet; she should still be in her office tidying up, preparing to head home." Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaobao bolted toward Han Ruobing’s office, feeling giddy with joy. Han Ruobing must be exhausted after working all night, ready to sleep at home, and he could hold his Bingbing darling in his arms again. Yesterday afternoon, he held Bingbing and slept half the day; last night, he held Rourou and slept the whole night; this morning, he could hold Bingbing to sleep again—life couldn’t be sweeter! "Bingbing darling, let’s go home and sleep!" Yan Xiaobao burst excitedly into Han Ruobing’s office. "What are you doing here again?" Han Ruobing, who had been in a great mood, instantly felt annoyed at the sight of Yan Xiaobao. "Bingbing darling, you’ve worked all night, you must be exhausted, let me take you home to sleep!" "I’m not tired, and I don’t want to sleep." Han Ruobing had worked all night but didn’t feel too exhausted. After being held by Yan Xiaobao for a nap yesterday afternoon, she was surprisingly full of energy and in excellent shape. "Not sleeping, huh..." Yan Xiaobao immediately suggested, "Then let’s go out and play!" "No time!" "What?" Yan Xiaobao asked in surprise, "Didn’t I help you crack the case last night, and Chief Zhang gave you all a day off? How come you’re still busy?" Han Ruobing knew if she didn’t offer an explanation, Yan Xiaobao would pester her endlessly, so she told him directly, "I’ve already made plans to go to the gym with my cousin." "No wonder Bingbing darling has such a great figure—it’s because you like working out," Yan Xiaobao said as he ogled Han Ruobing from top to bottom with his glances. "I’m going too." Knowing there was no way to shake Yan Xiaobao off, Han Ruobing didn’t bother wasting time. She grabbed her things directly and headed to the car, driving to Jiuzhou Fitness Club. Jiuzhou was a huge, comprehensive fitness club featuring not only workout rooms but swimming pools, tennis courts, ping pong, badminton, yoga, boxing, mixed martial arts, and a variety of other sports activities. Just as they got out of the car, a tall, ponytailed girl walked over, waving at Han Ruobing, "Sister Bingbing, you’re so punctual! Eh?" The tall girl approached and carefully looked Yan Xiaobao over. Suddenly, she remembered, "It’s you!" The girl was none other than Binhai Heroine Ye Shanshan, who had mistaken Yan Xiaobao for a pervert last time when he was on the bus with Xia Rou. With his sharp eyes, Yan Xiaobao recognized her instantly. But since he had no interest in the so-called "Binhai Heroine," he couldn’t be bothered to greet her. ...
