Jian Yao seems to be a delicate lady, with all of the qualities one would ask for in fairly lady -long hair, honest complexion, good facial options and sparkly eyes. She can also be very slim.

The costume she is carrying is elegant and tasteful. Together with her proportions, she is going to look good in no matter she chooses to put on. She speaks with a comfortable and nice voice. 

She inherited her mom’s virtuous temperament – modest and chic. However she additionally has her father’s free and simple going spirit. Although her father was solely capable of accompany her for six years, Jian Yao  remembers a number of his teachings,comparable to  “ An actual man with stay with integrity and a transparent conscience all the time, and “Take pleasure in and maximize all of the pleasures which life affords!” and so on and so on

Because the solar begins to set, she begins to pack up.  She leaves the “DAIA Pink Tiger” and greater than a dozen fish on the shore.  As they begin to stroll, Jian Xuan is amazed: “Are we simply going to go away them right here?”

“Yeah. He’ll come over and accumulate them later.”

After they attain their home, Jian Xuan asks: “Sister, you helped him to catch so many fish, did he not even ship you an electronic mail to say thanks??” Jian Xuan not often so preoccupied with different’s lack of gratitude, however she fears her sister’s generosity will likely be taken benefit of. 

Jian Yao admits she has not considered it.  To her, Bo Jinyan appears to be a reasonably simple man. She smiles: “What do you imply?”

Jian Xuan says: “I feel you might be too good to the weirdo.  Are you curious about him?”

Jian Yao laughs: “Nonsense.”

After three days, to her shock, a parcel arrives – a present from Mr. Bo.  

Strolling into the home, she sees a big field on the desk.  Jian Xuan seems to be at her.  Clearly, she’s ready for Jian Yao to disclose what’s inside. 

“From B Metropolis. Fu Zi Yu (Fu Ziyu) despatched it to you.” Jian Xuan asks curiously, “Isn’t he the homosexual associate of the weirdo? What’s he sending to you?”

Fu Ziyu didn’t point out something a couple of parcel.  Jian Yao has no thought what it’s.  To her shock, it’s a model new fishing rod, a ”DAIA” Pink Tiger! The very same one as Bo Jinyan

Jian Yao offers Fu Ziyu a name.

In one other metropolis, Fu Ziyu, clothes in a white physician’s gown, sits within the workplace and is taking a look at his sufferers’ recordsdata. 

”Jian Yao, please settle for this as a token of appreciation from Jinyan.  He requested me to ship it to you on his behalf.   You know the way a lot he likes to eat fish. It’s nothing, actually”

Jian Yao hesitates: “It’s too costly, I can not settle for this.”

Fu Ziyu smiles: “He has one already. And I don’t fish.  This rod will likely be wasted in the event you don’t settle for it. “

Jian Yao disagrees: “Mr. Fu, this ‘reward’ is far greater than my ‘sacrifice’. It’s just a few fish! ”

“It’s Jinyan’s thought, you’ll have to discuss to him about this.  I can’t make any choices.” Fu Ziyu interrupts her, “however realizing his character, ineffective stuff will get thrown out. Tomorrow, you will note a pitiful ‘Pink Tiger’ contained in the storage bin by the again door.”

Jian Yao has no selection however to say she is going to settle for it.  However she doesn’t need the cash from doing the interpretation.  Since she is so adamant about it,  Fu Ziyu agrees to it with some reluctance.

–

After the telephone dialog, Fu Ziyu remembers the occasions two days in the past. He didn’t deceive Jian Yao, shopping for the Pink Tiger is  Bo Jinyan’s determination, however giving a gift is his thought.  

Two days in the past, he referred to as Bo Jinyan like he usually does simply to test that every part goes easily.  Casually, he requested: “Do I must replenish your fish provide??”  With winter approaching,  a small city just like the one Bo Jinyan is staying would possibly show troublesome to purchase contemporary fish.  

Surprisingly Bo Jinyan replied: “I’ve a number of fish.”

“How? The place?” He is aware of Bo Jinyan too effectively.  He isn’t affected person sufficient to face for hours fishing himself.  Often, he’ll forged the fishing rod, then stroll off inside minutes as a result of he’s so bored.  

Bo Jinyan replied in a peaceful voice: “Jian Yao caught them for me.”

Fu Ziyu was intrigued: “Why did she catch fish for you?”

Bo Jinyan answered: “I don’t know and I don’t care.”

Fu Ziyu was speechless – a typical “Bo Jinyan-style reply.” He mentioned: “ And also you beforehand commented that she is sort of a piece of wooden….How are you going to thank her?”

Bo Jinyan thought for a second:. “I will double her pay.”

Fu Ziyu was about to say sure when a thought got here to his thoughts.   With Bo Jinyan’s persona, it’s extraordinarily laborious for him to make associates, however perhaps, simply perhaps, the 2 of them will get alongside.  So Fu Ziyu mentioned: “Nah, money is a nasty thought.  It’s best to ship her a present.”

“Alright. Please prepare on my behalf.”

“Hey, Jinyan, I am not your maid!” Fu Ziyu growled, “I have no idea her effectively sufficient.  How would I do know what’s a superb present for her?”

Bo Jinyan thought for a couple of moments,  then smiled and instructed him:. “Get her a fishing rod that’s precisely the identical as mine.  This manner, I don’t even must arrange my fishing rod by the river within the morning and accumulate it at evening. ”

–

The subsequent day after receiving the rod, Jian Yao takes a bottle of wine together with her to the villa.  

Jian Yao’s father used to have a wine cellar. There’s nonetheless a couple of bottles left in any case these years though the inventory is being steadily depleted by Lee, who drinks them when he visits the household. The wine is from native artisan vineyard.  It’s eight years previous and also you received’t have the ability to purchase something like this in a store, so it is extremely valuable. An applicable method of claiming thanks for the costly ‘Pink Tiger’.

Leaving the bottle of wine within the kitchen, Jian Yao ship an electronic mail to Bo Jinyan: “A great wine for fish..  Please settle for my present.”

Bo Jinyan didn’t reply. However the subsequent day when Jian Yao goes to the villa, she notices the wine is positioned within the cabinet, however there’s much less of it within the bottle.

–

Days handed, the New Yr is simply across the nook, and Jian Yao’s translation work is close to its completion.

Jian Xuan feels a deep remorse in her: “You continue to haven’t seen the person’s face?  Not even as soon as?” No less than she isn’t calling him a weirdo anymore. 

To be frank, Jian Yao is a bit of disillusioned too.  However what she doesn’t count on is that it’s the very subsequent day after their dialog that they are going to lastly see one another nose to nose for the primary time. 

It’s a vivid sunny morning.  It’s hotter than normal for this time of the yr.   Jian Yao leaves residence carrying a skinny padded jacket. As normal, she heads to the villa and begins her work.

Making an attempt to complete off all the interpretation earlier than the New Yr, Jian Yao stayed within the villa for a bit longer than normal.   As she is about to go away, she realised the climate has turned – thunder, lightning, and heavy rain.

It’s too harmful to journey now.  Jian Yao waits for the wind and the rain to die down,  however the climate exhibits no indicators of enchancment within the subsequent few hours. She offers up and calls the household.  However nobody solutions. 

–

Night time is right here. The wind continues to be howling outdoors the villa.  The noisy chaos outdoors is a pointy distinction to the nonetheless and silence contained in the villa.  

The ability provide for small cities are much less dependable and dangerous climate usually trigger blackouts.  Jian Yao hears some ‘pops’ within the air and thinks to herself: Please, not one other energy outage.   

All of a sudden, all of the lights have been gone, and darkness fills the room.  Jian Yao offers a sigh and begin to stroll in the direction of the steps.  She shouts out from the underside of the steps.  “Mr Bo!  Mr Bo!”

He didn’t reply.

Jian Yao climbs the steps, and finds there’s a gate.  An iron gate. A darkish massive iron gate, blocking the doorway on the second flooring.  It  seems to be gloomy and forbidding.

Jian Yao is taken again barely.  Then she walks up and knocks on the iron gate, shouting a couple of phrases.

Nobody.

There’s a small window on the iron gate. Jian Yao takes a peep via the small window and sees a darkish hallway, with a number of doorways, closed after all. A bolt of lightning tore throughout the sky and a peal of thunder adopted. It’s a scene that one usually finds in horror motion pictures.

Jian Yao has been to the villa many occasions, however that is the primary time she feels afraid, She turns again. Simply as she’s about to stroll down the steps, a door opens, and he or she hears footsteps behind her. 

Jian Yao holds on to the stair railings tightly. She dares to not transfer.

On a torrential wet evening, a person walks towards the gates. Sudden there’s a “bang” sound.  The iron gate is opened. A tall man comes out.

As a result of it’s too darkish to see what this man seems to be like. He’s very tall, at the very least 185cm. Surprisingly fairly a burly man, not as skinny as Jian Yao had imagined him to be.  He’s carrying a white bathrobe ……? No marvel no person answered her when she yelled earlier.

See that it’s an actual individual and never a ghost, Jian Yao felt much less scared. Having had some expertise along with his eccentric persona, she isn’t too shocked to see him showing the best way he did.

He stops for a second and appears at her.  Then he walks down these stairs along with his lengthy legs.

Jian Yao: “Mr.. Bo?”

“Ah.” He answered quietly, extra like a hum from the nostril.

Then he walks as much as her.  His large tall physique is as a wall transferring nearer in the direction of her. Jian Yao  subconsciously steps again. In a well mannered voice,  she requested: “Mr.Bo, do you have got a flashlight ? ……”

Bo Jinyan walks straight move her as if she isn’t there.  She follows behind him.  

Bo Jinyan passes via the lounge into the kitchen.  Jian Yao speaks once more:  “Mr. Bo?”

“No.” He replies with out trying again. Though the response is transient, Jian Yao can inform that he has a deep and melodious voice.

“Are you aware tips on how to repair the issue?” Jian Yao asks tentatively. Though she doesn’t know a lot about energy, she is acquainted with the truth that properties in distant areas comparable to this villa often have its personal energy generator.  

This time, Bo Jinyan turns round to take a look at her.  After a couple of second in deep ideas, he replies: “Judging from the prolong of the ability outage, the transformer is overloaded.  I might want to shut the gates, open the transformer, discover the broken components, then get the required equipment to restore it . “

He mentioned in his deep male voice. Deep and clear, just like the bass notes of a piano.

However simply as Jian Yao has her hopes up, he speaks once more. “However I can’t repair it,  I’m busy.  Make your self at residence, however don’t disturb me.  Goodbye. “

Then he turns round, via the kitchen, into the slender aisle, and disappears into the darkness as soon as once more.

Down the aisle, is the locked room that’s out of bounds to her.

Jian Yao stands, shocked at his reception.  She completely doesn’t count on their first nose to nose encounter will likely be like this.  

She is working for him. There’s a storm outdoors, an influence disaster inside. And he desires nothing to do together with her and leaves her by herself in the lounge?
