Chapter 657: Chapter 657 What Vinegar to Eat_1

Upon hearing the thunder, Xia Qingtian thought she would be startled again.

But to her surprise, when the thunder boomed this time, she didn’t feel scared but unexpectedly calm, and a sense of security enveloped her.

Wondering why she reacted as such, suddenly...

She felt warmth spreading through her hand, followed by it being tightly enveloped by another large one.

Turning her head around, she found that the hand holding hers belonged to Bo Jingyan.

Xia Qingtian blinked, finding it strange. His whole body was soaked, yet his hand was still warm and gave her a sense of security.

Bo Jingyan turned to look at Xia Qingtian.

Seeing her staring at him without moving, he assumed the thunder had startled her just now, so he gripped her hand tighter, "Don’t be afraid. I’m by your side. No matter what happens, I’ll protect you."

Xia Qingtian knew she had been misunderstood but didn’t bother to explain.

She quite liked the feeling of Bo Jingyan holding her hand.

Even though the rain outside was heavy, accompanied by occasional thunder and lightning, the car was still smoothly traveling on the road.

Xia Qingtian felt full of security, not afraid at all.

Soon, Bo Jingyan safely drove to the bottom of the artists’ dormitory.

Xia Qingtian didn’t pause for anything, immediately got out of the car and went to Cheng Bingbing’s dormitory door. She knocked, but there was no response from inside.

Fortunately, she had a spare key to the dormitory from when she took care of Cheng Bingbing after the chicken award fallout.

Now, with no one opening the door for her, she took out the key and opened the door herself.

Once inside the dormitory, she turned on the lights, looked around, but found no sign of Cheng Bingbing. What’s more, she noticed a fine layer of dust covering the furniture and floor.

This was undeniable proof that Cheng Bingbing hadn’t been back for some time.

Realizing that Cheng Bingbing was not there, Xia Qingtian couldn’t shake off her worry, afraid that she might be in danger.

Bo Jingyan also went upstairs following Xia Qingtian.

Seeing Xia Qingtian’s worried face, he realized things might not be going well and asked, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

On hearing this, Xia Qingtian thought about his position and resources in A City. If they needed to find someone, he would be much stronger than her and Huo Qilin acting like headless flies.

So, she didn’t hesitate and directly asked Bo Jingyan to help her find Cheng Bingbing’s whereabouts.

Bo Jingyan agreed without hesitation.

Just as he was about to make a call to Jian Xuan, his phone rang first.

On checking, it was Xia Qingtian’s phone.

Xia Qingtian took her phone out of her bag. It was an unfamiliar number.

She hesitated for a moment but still answered.

"Sister Qingtian, it’s me..." came a weak voice from the other end of the line, it sounded distorted in the sound of the heavy rain.

But almost instantly, Xia Qingtian recognized this voice belonged to Cheng Bingbing.

She asked with concern, "Bingbing, is that you?"

"It’s me!" Cheng Bingbing confessed.

Xia Qingtian immediately followed up, "Where are you now?"

"I’m in the hospital." Cheng Bingbing didn’t try to conceal it.

Saving the questioning for later, Xia Qingtian immediately asked her which hospital she was in, it would be better to talk face-to-face.

Cheng Bingbing told her the name of the hospital.

Conveniently, the hospital was not far from the company’s artists’ dormitory, only about a ten-minute drive.

After hanging up, Xia Qingtian turned to Bo Jingyan and asked, "I got hold of Bingbing. She’s in the hospital. Could you please drive me there?"

"Okay." Bo Jingyan agreed.

On the way to the hospital, Xia Qingtian thought of Huo Qilin who might also be worried about Cheng Bingbing’s safety, so she gave him a call and told him that they had found her and were now on their way to the hospital.

Hearing that Cheng Bingbing was in the hospital, Huo Qilin was immediately anxious, "I’m on my way there now."

Xia Qingtian recalled her encounter on the way today and couldn’t help but warn him, "I’m very close to the hospital now, and will be with Bingbing. Be careful on the road and drive safely."

"Okay." Huo Qilin agreed and then hung up.

Xia Qingtian had more things she wanted to tell him, but the call had already been disconnected.

She tried calling Huo Qilin again.

But Huo Qilin seemed to be in another call, so his phone was always busy. Left with no other option, she sent him a couple of texts. He would see them once he finished his call.

After making all the arrangements, Xia Qingtian put away her phone.

Suddenly, a large hand reached out from the side, tightly grabbing her hand. The strength was so intense it felt like it could crush her hand bones.

She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the owner of the big hand.

Bo Jingyan was seen with a serious face, his expression was somewhat gloomy, suggesting he was unhappy.

What went wrong?

Wasn’t he fine just a little earlier?

She only made a phone call, and it didn’t seem like she did something that would upset him.

Wait, a phone call?

Could it be that Bo Jingyan minded the call she made to Huo Qilin?

Having connected the dots, Xia Qingtian felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

She held Jingyan’s hand in turn, looking at him with a teasing smile, "Mr. Bo, why do you suddenly look unhappy? Could it be, you’re feeling jealous?"

Bo Jingyan didn’t deny it but instead honestly said, "Yes, is there a problem?"

At this point, Xia Qingtian wasn’t sure whether to laugh or to cry.

"How come you’re jealous of everything?" she playfully said to Bo Jingyan, "Qilin is Bingbing’s boyfriend, naturally, I’d notify him when she’s in trouble."

After hearing her say this, Bo Jingyan’s face relaxed a bit, though he still retorted, "Then why were you so concerned about Huo Qilin just now, even giving him careful instructions?"

"That’s because Huo Qilin is one of the artists in the company, and a top one at that. He is an important asset to the company. If he gets injured, who’s going to earn money for me?" To placate the jealous man, Xia Qingtian could only bluff.

As a capitalist, Bo Jingyan was easily appeased by this explanation.

A faint smile finally appeared in his deep eyes, "I was overthinking."

However, he found it strange. Huo Qilin seemed to like Xia Qingtian before, so how did he suddenly become Cheng Bingbing’s boyfriend?

Unable to figure it out, he didn’t bother thinking about it further.

No matter the reason, this was undeniably good news for him. Xia Qingtian had a strong sense of morality, and she greatly valued and cared for Cheng Bingbing as if she was her sister.

As long as Huo Qilin was Cheng Bingbing’s boyfriend for even a day, she would not consider being with Huo Qilin.
