Final night time, Bo Jinyan was too excited to sleep, like he had an excessive amount of vitality that may’t be burnt off.  Lastly, he’s aware of the depth of his emotions for her.   He placed on some music, and opened a bottle of purple wine to rejoice.  He become his shirt and trousers, and sat down.  Faint moonlight seeps by way of the window.  He remembered the great occasions they’ve spent collectively prior to now 9 months, each element. 

If somebody was to see his face, they might assume this man regarded assured, but, calm and mysterious on the similar time.  This was as a result of he was sporting an enigmatic smile on his face.  And this smile has been on his face for hours.

However in actual fact….

He was extraordinarily happy with himself.  Though he didn’t realise how a lot he appreciated Jian Yao, he had efficiently attracted her to be by his facet, as if he was a prophet, and knew this is able to ultimately occur.  And he managed to maintain her solely for himself.

Fu Ziyu used to giggle at him for the dearth of expertise on this space.  So what?  Clearly he’s a genius on this subject as properly. 

Now, all he must do is to verify this girl solely has eyes for him, and completely commits to him. 

To fall in love with him, get pleasure from his firm, expertise the perfect in life, indulge of their ardour, marry him, spend their days collectively, hug him, kiss him, journey the world collectively – Paris, the Caribbean, Zurich, Istanbul, the South Pole…  watching Jian Yao standing in numerous backdrops smiling sweetly at him… have to be a  marvellous feeling.  

He appears on the night time lights, and enjoys his wine.  

See you tomorrow, my love.

What if…. 

Jian Yao doesn’t like him? 

Sorry, maybe it’s a query that causes concern or anxiousness for a standard man, it’s not a thought that ever occurred for Mr. Bo Jinyan.

He solely must know he likes her.  He desires to get her.  That’s sufficient.  

——————-

After spending the entire night time excited about his late blossoming old flame, he didn’t go to sleep till late at night time. 

When he opens his eyes within the morning, it’s previous 10am.  

He frowns, then takes a stretch.

His authentic plan is to purchase her breakfast, then shock her at her studio.  Nicely, too late for that.  Change it to lunch then.

He calls a pleasant restaurant within the neighbourhood reserves a reserving for 2.

After bathe, he fastidiously chooses what he will likely be sporting at present.  He even picks up a tie with vibrant colors, to swimsuit his temper.

And he even makes use of the skincare Jian Yao purchased for him. 

If she desires to savour his scent – he will likely be joyful to oblige.

11.00am

Bo Jinyan is standing in entrance of Jian Yao’s home.  He presses on the door bell.

“Ding Dong-“

“Ding Dong-“

No reply.

Then he remembers.  Jian Yao stated she will likely be going out with Li Xunran at present.

However in Bo Jinyan’s thoughts, sightseeing is an exercise that does not take very lengthy.  She will likely be again quickly.  He thought.

However….

He appears on the closed door.  Jian Yao won’t be coming again to have lunch with him.

—————-

The primary time he’s pursuing a woman…. and he misses out.  

Jian Yao is having lunch with Li Xunran and some of his colleagues at a restaurant that specialises in roast duck.

Li Xunran has been to B Metropolis a number of occasions now, however it’s the primary go to for a few of his colleagues.  Jian Yao insists that she should shout them a meal, as a superb host would.

She appears on the menu.  The opposite colleagues are chatting and smoking cigarettes.  Li Xunran rests his hand on the again of her chair.  She picks a number of of her favorite dishes.

When a girl has somebody on her thoughts, she is at all times excited about that individual.  After giving the orders to the waiter, she takes out her cell phone and texts Bo Jinyan:

“Bear in mind to have some lunch.”

Li Xunran picks up his cigarette, takes a take a look at her sitting the solar.  Her gaze is light, and her pores and skin is gentle and supple.

After she places down her telephone, Li Xunran quietly laughs: “Who’re you sending a textual content to?  So pre-occupied when you’re spending time with me… your boyfriend?”

Jian Yao: “No… don’t have one.”

Her telephone rings.  The caller shows has “Bo Jinyan” on it.

He’s calling her.

———-

Simply earlier than he acquired Jian Yao’s textual content, he was watching TV.  

One other documentary on … criminology 🙂

After ending the episode.  He switched it off.  He notices a takeaway field on the espresso desk.  He frowns.  He’s not in concerned about quick meals. 

He appears at his cell phone.

He picks it up and walks to the window.  He’s nearly to name Jian Yao when he sees a brand new textual content message.

————————

He smiles.

– Ah ….she is considering of me.

He calls her quantity.

“I’ll have lunch quickly.”  He leans his physique in direction of the window.  He appears out to the clear blue sky, and speaks with husky voice: “When are you coming again?

Jian Yao is in noisy restaurant.  She will’t decide the distinction in his tone.

However the truth that he requested when she will likely be again is sufficient to make her smile.  So she solutions sweetly: “I’m having roast duck with them.  I is perhaps a little bit late at present.  What’s up?”

There is no such thing as a method the conceited Bo Jinyan will confess his love for her over the telephone in such a hasty trend.  Apart from there’s lots of people round her.  

He’s quiet for a second.  Then he says politely: “Get pleasure from your meal.”

Jian Yao: “Okay…. you too.”

She  places down the telephone and finds Li Xunran taking a look at her suspiciously, with a sly smile.

She blushes.  Then she pushes him: “What are you smiling about..?”

————

The plans are deferred as soon as extra.  Bo Jinyan has nothing to do.  He calls the central police station to schedule the remaining work he must do for Huo Xiao Lu’s case.  

Then a thought involves his thoughts.  He calls Fu Ziyu: “Come out for dinner.”

A transparent and vibrant night time in B Metropolis.  Persons are having fun with themselves and stress-free in bars and eating places after a tough week’s work.

Fu Ziyu arrives on the restaurant to see Bo Jinyan sitting alone within the personal eating room.  The look on his face…. properly, maybe narcissism shouldn’t be fairly the appropriate phrase to explain it, however he’s definitely in a superb temper.  A refined smile radiates on his face. 

“The place’s Jian Yao?” asks Fu Ziyu. “Why is she not with you at present?”

Bo Jinyan merely solutions: “There’s no hurry.”

Fu Zuyi sits down and pours himself a glass of water.  He sips a bit: “Something occurred to you latterly?”

Bo Jinyan appears at him.  His eyes gleam.

“I’ve fallen in love with Jian Yao.”

Fu Ziyu gags, and the water in his mouths is sprayed everywhere in the desk.
