Chapter 19 Bedroom (4)
"How could he have no dad?" Johnny felt puzzled at heart, but he didn''t ask anything else because he
could tell that Jasmine disliked it when others asked about that.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Jasmine suddenly asked after a very long time.
"That''s privacy."
"I don''t care about your privacy. I just hope that you''ll be responsible as you’re getting paid by me. If
you have a girlfriend, please exin this job clearly to her. Don''t let her think of something bad and
trouble me." Jasmine said tly.
"Don''t worry, I''m single. I don''t even have rtives in this city, let alone a girlfriend. You can rest
assured!" Johnny sneered.
Jasmine just looked at Johnny and didn''t say anything, and after some time she only said, "That''s
good, then."
"You really don''t know how to keep a conversation going, do you? I don''t have a girlfriend and you say
''good''? What does that mean?" Johnny couldn''t help saying that.
"All right, just sleep. Turn the tablemp on your side off. No, forget it, don''t turn it off." Jasmine first told
him to turn the lights off, but soon after she hurriedly said don''t turn it off. Johnny knew clearly why she
said that. Any woman who was going to sleep in the same bed with an unfamiliar man wouldn''t feel
safe about it. Keeping the lights on was actually just for some sense of security in her heart.
Even though Johnny said he''s going to sleep, he couldn''t actually fall asleep of course. In a new
environment and a stranger''s bed... Surely, that''s not the main point. He had never had difficulties
sleeping in somewhere other than his own bed. As long as he''s tired and sleepy he could sleep
anywhere. But the problem was, someone''s son was hugging him and someone''s wife was sleeping by
his side, which felt inexplicably strange.
Johnny couldn''t sleep, while Jasmine was even worse. She felt so nervous at heart. She''s afraid that
Johnny was a beast that would suddenly crawl up and do something immoral to her.
The two of them didn''t fall asleep but none of them said anything. They both opened their eyes widely
as they stared at the ceiling.
After quite some time, Johnny suddenly crawled out of the bed.
"Ah!" Jasmine immediately crawled up once she saw Johnny get up. Almost reflexively, she lifted the
quilt and jumped off the bed. She was groping around and in the end she took a slipper from the side of
the bed. She nervously spoke, "What are you going to do? I tell you what, don''t mess around, I''m a
Johnny just sat on the bed and looked at Jasmine speechlessly. He was bemused at what Jasmine
was going to do. Seeing Jasmine''s strange action, he asked after a while, "What are you doing?
Sleepwalking?"
Jasmine was also stunned. Seeing that Johnny didn''t seem like he was going to do something bad to
her, she stuttered, "You... You... What are you going to do? Why did you get up?"
"I have to pee so I''m going to the toilet. What do you think I was going to do?" Johnny asked her back.
"N-nothing, I''ll turn the lights on for you." Jasmine blushed in an instant at Johnny’s words and found a
make-do excuse. It was really so awkward that it couldn''t go worse.
"Themp here is already on. Don''t bother." Johnny pointed at the bright tablemp as he said that. He
then put on his shoes. "You can just sleep peacefully. I''m not a gentleman or something, but I''m
absolutely not a bastard who''d take advantage of others'' difficulties. Since you''re letting me sleep here
then you should trust me. Otherwise, we''ll both feel bad. If you don''t trust me then you shouldn''t let me
stay here. There should at least be trust between people. Sam wouldn''t be woken up anymore I guess.
It''s almost 2 o''clock. I''m going back first. Call me again if he makes a fuss and asks for me tomorrow
night!" Johnny felt uneasy at heart when he looked at Jasmine who was so on guard with him. It was
impossible not to be angry.
Johnny put on his own jacket and shoes before he walked out.
When Johnny walked out of the toilet in Jasmine house''s, he saw Jasmine wearing her sleepwear and
a jacket waiting for him there.
"Sorry, I should have trusted you," Jasmine said sincerely.
"No problem, we are strangers that have only met for a few times. It''s logical for you not to trust me. All
right, just sleep. I''m going home. I''ll close the door for you." Johnny indifferently said that while lighting
a cigarette up.
"Will there be any taxi at this time? Just sleep here!" Jasmine looked at the clock as she said that. It
was nearly 3 o''clock.
"Do you think you can fall asleep if I sleep here tonight? Forget it, it''s fine. Let me see if I can get a
taxi!" Johnny replied slowly.
"Wait a moment. Let me get dressed and send you home!" Jasmine gave it a thought before saying
that.
"What about Samuel if you leave? If he wakes up and both of us aren''t here, he''d cry so badly. It''s
okay. Don''t worry about me. I''m leaving!"
"Can you drive?" Jasmine asked in the end.
"Yeah, why?"
"Wait a second." Jasmine ran into her room, rummaged through her bag, took a car key out, and
handed it to Johnny. "Just drive my car back home. I don''t need to go to work tomorrow and I have no
ns on going out anyway. Come over tomorrow night and have some meal. He''s too dependent on
you. I also hope that you can oftene here to apany him and let him feel some father''s love,
which should be good for his growth. You''ve also seen that he''s very happy when he''s with you. I''m
really sorry. I''ll give you extra sry!"
"More again? Do you have too much money? It''s already twenty thousand per month and you''re still
adding?" Johnny didn''t know what expression he should put on. In the end, he smiled as he took the
car key, "Are you not afraid that I''ll get your car scratched?"
"There''s insurance."
"That''s true, all right, I''ll drive the car and I''lle over tomorrow after work. You don''t need to give me
extra sry, just give me fifteen thousand a month. It''s not worth it if you add more. The things I do
aren''t worth that much. Actually fifteen thousand is not worth it either, but it''s mainly because I really
need money now. I''ll feel bad if I ept more. No matter what, thank you for giving me this job. I really
need it right now. Just go to bed. I''lle on time tomorrow. You can give him my phone number. If he

cries again and asking for me, tell him to call me and I''ll coax him," Johnny said while taking Jasmine''s
car key and he walked out of her vi.
Johnny indeed could drive and he had gotten his driver''s license for years. Even he had no car, he had
driven the take-home vehicle out many times when he worked in the government so his driving skills
were pretty good.
"What a nice car indeed. Look at this space!" Johnny sat inside the car, as he touched and looked
around. In the end he started the car and slowly drove out of Jasmine''s house.
Jasmine, who kept looking at Johnny until he left, had a strange feeling in her heart. All of a sudden,
she didn''t find him so revolting. She returned to the room and started to sleep. She couldn''t sleep at all
before, but she felt at ease and fell asleep in a short time after Johnny left.
"Now I''ve be a professional in apanying people to eat, drink, and sleep!" Johnny drove the
car as he muttered to himself.
He drove the car to around his house, but he didn''t dare to park randomly on the roadside like other
cars, in case someone scratched it. He wouldn''t be able topensate Jasmine. In the end, there was
no other choice than driving a few minutes more to a parking lot, where he even gave dozens of bucks
as parking fee. Doing some calctions, Johnny felt that driving Jasmine''s car back home wasn''t a
good deal because he had to walk almost ten minutes to go back home.
