Bo Jinyan’s cell phone rings.  Her ideas are interrupted by the incoming name.  She appears to be like on the display, it’s Fu Ziyu.  She yells out to Bo Jinyan: “It’s Ziyu.”  She presses the reply button and says to Fu Ziyu: “Ziyu, he gained’t be lengthy.”

Fu Ziyu says with chortle in his voice: “Oh, no hurry in any respect.  I hope I’m not interrupting you guys.”

Jian Yao’s face burns in embarrassment.  He is aware of!  

Bo Jinyan walks out from the toilet, she shortly passes him the cellphone.

Jian Yao is watching him from the mattress.  Oh… any further, this shall be a frequent and regular sight…

“What’s up?” Bo Jinyan smiles as he solutions the cellphone.

Fu Ziyu is worried about his good pal.  He was afraid final evening might have been a set-back for Mr.Bo due to his inexperience.  Nevertheless it appears his concern was pointless.  His pal feels like he had a improbable evening.

“If I knew  how a lot pleasure it will deliver me once we are one bodily and spiritually, I might have requested on your love on the primary day we met.”

I’ve wasted a lot time already.  I ought to have held your arms way back, to share  this happiness.  

Jian Yao seems like a jar of honey has spilled into her coronary heart, the sweetness flowing by means of to all the opposite elements of her physique.

Looking for her love on day one?  That does matches his useless and brazen character.

However…

A center aged man.  He’s stumbling as he walks.  He’s holding a can of petrol, pouring it over a row of petroleum fuel tanks.  

“I urge you…. please, let me go…” He wails like a trapped animal.  A person that seems to be sturdy on the surface has tears over all his face: “My mother and father are very outdated.  I’ve household.  My spouse and youngsters are ready for me.  Please don’t kill me…. why me…”

A deep voice speaks out within the darkness: “I selected you as a result of I just like the appears to be like of you.” 

The person is aware of there isn’t any manner out of this.  His hand shakes as he takes out the lighter and turns it on.  A flickering flame dances within the evening.

“After all.” says the opposite man: “And I promise they won’t suspect a factor… besides that you’ve got such a hatred for this society that you’re committing suicide with arson.”

The person takes his final deep breath.  He closes his eyes, lets out an agonising yell.  He drops the lighter on the bottom, onto the slippery and pungent petrol subsequent to his ft….

As flames engulf him, he appears to listen to the opposite man saying: “That is for my good pal.  To die for him is an honour.”

Then, there are sounds of huge explosions, and he’s swallowed within the waves of warmth and drive.  His world is silenced.

Their muscle tissue have the pump take care of exercise.  And so they greet Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao as they stroll previous: “Good morning, Professor Bo.  Good morning, Jian Yao.”

Jian Yao smiles at them.  Just a few of them stops to talk to Jian Yao.  Bo Jinyan stands quietly.  After they go away, he mutters to himself: “A bunch of raging hormones that aren’t getting the satisfaction they need.”

Jian Yao bursts out laughing…

It’s solely been per week since he’s ‘getting the satisfaction’. Does he must be so pleased with it?  

Work after the lengthy vacation is not any totally different from standard.  He nonetheless will get misplaced on this work and forgets about her till the ‘bell’ rings for lunch.  Then he walks over, provides her an extended passionate kiss and whispers in her ears: “We’ll proceed tonight…” 

He receives a name from Yin Ziqi within the afternoon.

As a result of he’s in temper.  His tone is unusually nice: “What’s it? My pretty however troublesome sister?”

Yin Ziqi is inviting Bo Jinyan to go to America subsequent month.  To spend Christmas with the remainder of the household.

After Bo Jinyan hangs up, he appears to be like at Jian Yao.  

Jian Yao is him too: “You need to deliver me again to the US?”

Maybe it’s the way in which he speaks, Jian Yao mechanically thinks about what they normally do when there’s ‘solely the 2 of them’.

She is about to inform him off when he continues: “In case you are prepared, I need to deliver you to some locations.  I believe you’ll get pleasure from visiting the locations I like.”

Jian Yao solutions gladly: “Sure, I’d like to.”

He needs to share his likes and pursuits together with her.  He inadvertently makes her really feel beloved and treasured.
