Bo Jinyan appears to be like calmly at his pal whose face is pink due to the gag.

It took some time for Fu Ziyu to relax and manages to breath correctly once more.   He says: “You lastly found.”

Bo Jinyan sweeps him a look, his finger tapping on his trousers: “Sooner.. Later… Does it matter?”

Anyway, she belongs to him. 

Fu Ziyu appears to be like at his proud pal…. He has at all times been a sore loser.  

However he’s nonetheless very pleased for the 2 of them.  After being in so many relationships himself, he is aware of that letting their relationship progress naturally is one of the best ways ahead.  Issues like match making or forcing them up to now would have been a waste of time. 

He lifts his glass: “Congratulations!”

Bo Jinyan lifts up his and so they clink their glass collectively.

“Thanks.”

Fu Ziyu asks: “How are you going to admit your love for her?

Bo Jinyan: “I have already got a plan.”

The autumn night time is brisk and funky.  

When Bo Jinyan will get again to the neighbourhood, it’s previous 8:00pm.  He appears to be like as much as Jian Yao’s studio from the carpark.  There isn’t any gentle coming from her window.  

He provides her a name.

Jian Yao is in Li Xunran’s automotive.  The others have gone again to the hostel.  Li Xunran is driving her dwelling.  

“What’s up?” Jian Yao smiles as she solutions his name.  Li Xunran is giving her a artful smile.  

“When are you coming again?” Bo Jinyan asks in his wealthy masculine voice. “I’ve one thing to let you know,”

Jian Yao appears to be like on the street signal they’re passing, and reply: ”Throughout the hour.”

When a lady spends a number of time with a person with low EQ, she is going to subconsciously rub off from him.  So despite the fact that Bo Jinyan mentioned “I’ve one thing to let you know.”  in a mild voice, it will likely be interpreted by Jian Yao as “I’ve some new ideas on the case.” or “I’m bored, come again in order that I can speak to you.”

“Okay.” Bo Jinyan smiles. “I’ll come round to your studio later.”  

“However…” Li Xunran is coming to my place too.  We now have plans – Jian Yao didn’t get to complete her sentence.  Bo Jinyan has hung up.

Bo Jinyan appears to be like on the row of retailers on the other aspect of the road. One in all them is a flower store. It’s nonetheless open for enterprise.

He walks over.  Truly, it has simply previous their enterprise hours and the store assistant is about to shut the store.  She is pleased to see a good-looking man walks in.  She has a giant smile on her face: “Hello there.  How can I allow you to?  We now have some flowers promoting at half value.”

“I don’t want any low cost.” He solutions.  He’s standing in the midst of the store.  His eyes are scanning by means of all the attractive flowers there.  

…. Mmmm.. He is aware of nothing about flowers and flower languages.

He asks the store assistant to inform him the which means of all of the flowers.

The store assistant is shocked.  However she is fast on her toes.  She chooses about ten of the favored forms of flower (which occurs to be the costliest ones after all)  and explains to him what they symbolize.  

When she will get to the moth orchids, the good-looking man within the swimsuit stops her: “This one please.”

The store assistant has an enormous smile on her face: “A sensible choice!”

Bo Jinyan takes the bouquet.  He has a smile on his face too.

The humorous formed little flowers have a wonderful which means – 

I really like you.  Could happiness and blessing come to you.

——————-

It solely took Jian Yao and Li Xunran half an hour to get again to her residence. 

Li Xunran needs to go to a bar on the town later.  In order that they resolve to clean up at Jian Yao’s studio first.  As for Bo Jinyan….  Properly, she is going to inform him of their plans when she sees her.  Jian Yao thinks to herself.

And… it will likely be good to see him.  She hasn’t seen him for a complete day.  She misses him.

Li Xunran needs to know extra.

He comes out from the bathe.  He’s sporting a white singlet, exhibiting off his properly toned and comely physique.    He takes the towel Jian Yao passes to him.  He leans in the direction of the couch and dries his hair: “Inform me, are you a pair with Professor Bo but? Will I be a getting an invite to your marriage ceremony banquet quickly?” 

Jian Yao blushes.

They’re pals since childhood, there are not any secrets and techniques between them.  Though they don’t spend a lot time collectively these days, she is aware of in her coronary heart that nothing will change their friendship.

She doesn’t cover it from him.  She is simply shy about it. 

“We haven’t even began.”  She solutions. “He solely has room for work in his thoughts.” 

Li Xunran stops drying his hair and take a look at her sideways.   Jian Yao appears to be like at him. He appears to be like calm.  Quickly, a smile seems on his face.  He ruffles her hair and says: “I’ve a sense the 2 of you can be very pleased collectively.”

It’s not typically that he speaks such critical and mawkish phrases.  Jian Yao could be very touched.  She smiles and solutions: “Hope you’re proper.”

Each of them sit on the couch.  Jian Yao tells Li Xunran about Bo Jinyan – the touching second, the candy second, the drained moments, the frustration of not seeing the connection going anyplace…

She additionally asks if Li Xunran has a girlfriend but.  He simply laughs: “I’m nonetheless younger.  And it’s arduous to discover a lady who’s hungry for love such as you inside the police power.”

Jian Yao laughs: “Hey! Cease hassling me.”  

On the finish of the dialog, LI Xunran is aware of what’s bothering her coronary heart.  He says to her: “You wish to know if Professor Bo is excited about you?  That’s straightforward.  When he comes afterwards, we are going to check him.  Let’s faux there’s one thing between us.  Maybe he’ll get jealous.  A immodest man like him wants a bit frightening.”

However to his shock.  Jian Yao shakes her head: “No.”

She is aware of Li Xunran means properly.  However what if he’s not excited about her and doesn’t care…

However this isn’t the mainreason. 

She doesn’t wish to provoke him. She doesn’t wish to power him into any motion. She doesn’t need him to misconceive.  She didn’t need him to really feel uneasy.

She simply needs issues to progress naturally.  She doesn’t thoughts the wait.

She needs Bo Jinyan to really feel snug about their relationship.

Li Xunran sees the look on her face.  He is aware of what’s in her thoughts.  He sighs: “You might be too good to him!”

—————

Presently, Bo Jinyan is sitting on the couch in his residence.  He’s holding the bunch of moth orchids in his palms.  Ready.

It’s a nonetheless and silent night time.  Stars are twinkling within the velvety black sky.  For Bo Jinyan, even the celebs look brighter and nicer tonight.  He notices Chen Mo is slowly crawling out from beneath the couch.  As he passes by, his shiny shell displays the sunshine from the ceiling. 

Bo Jinyan lifts his brows: “Come right here.”

When Chen Mo is at his toes, Bo Jinyan appears to be like on the moth orchids in his hand.  He chooses  the stem with essentially the most lovely flower on it, and threw the remainder of on the couch.  

He ties the flower on Chen Mo’s again with a small piece of string.

“Crawl.”

Chen Mo slowly strikes, the flower gently sways as he crawls ahead.

Bo Jinyan smiles.  There’s a saying in Chinese language: “Prepare a military for a thousand days for sooner or later’s battle.” 

– Chen Mo, that is your second to shine!  At this time, you’re serving to Bo Jinyan to admit his love, it’s a process that you can be pleased with for the remainder of your life.

He picks up the turtle and opens the entrance door.

A brightly lit hall.

Exterior Jian Yao’s residence.  Bo Jinyan is standing right here for the second time in the present day.    And Chen Mo is ‘in place’ not distant from Jian Yao’s door.

When she opens the door, he’ll bend down and kiss her.  

Then Chen Mo will come over with the flower, and he’ll give it to the lady he loves.

Good.  Excellent.

“Ding Dong… Ding Dong…”

Bo Jinyan has a half smile on his face.   He’s resting one hand on the door body, trying ahead to see the one who is about to look earlier than him.

The door progressively opens.

A person in singlets and shorts is standing in entrance of him.  Bo Jinyan notices his tanned and toned chest.

The smile on his face freezes.

Though Jian Yao requested Li Xunran to not ‘assist’ her, Li is just not actually listening to her.  He says causally: ‘Professor Bo, how are you? Yao Yao is having a bathe.  Would you want to come back in first?”

Bo Jinyan sweeps him a look, and walks in.

The door closes behind him.  The hall is quiet as soon as once more.  The lights are nonetheless brilliant, however there isn’t a one there anymore.  Besides… for a turtle, with a flower tied to his shell.

He who has a fantastic duty… is forgotten by his grasp.

After some time, Chen Mo begins crawling in the direction of the nook.  There’s a bit gap there that appears like a fantastic resting place for a turtle. Then he heard some footsteps.  To ‘shield’ himself, Chen Mo decides to retreat again into its shell. 

A tall man seems within the hall.  He’s sporting a properly ironed shirt, trousers and a pair black leather-based footwear.  He stands in entrance of Chen Mo.  He chuckles, then bends down and take the flower that’s tied to Chen Mo.  He places the flower with tender purple petals in his hand.

He’s sporting a pair of disposable latex gloves.  His lengthy slender fingers crush the flower, then crumple it and throw it into the garbage bin that’s subsequent to him.  

Then he turns round.  He appears to be like down and sees Chen Mo in his method.  He doesn’t hesitate to kick him to the nook.  

He begins buzzing a tune and disappears down the steps. 

———-

Inside Jian Yao’s residence.

Jian Yao comes out from the toilet to see Li Xunran standing by the window with a smile on his face. And within the couch, a tall man is sitting there in his swimsuit.  

Though Jian Yao is conscious that Bo Jinyan likes sporting his swimsuit, however throughout summer time he seldom clothes so formally except there is a vital event.  

Not solely is he dressed formally, he has a really solemn look on his face. 

Jian Yao asks: “You mentioned you could have one thing to inform me.  Is it associated to the case?  Is it pressing?  I’m planning to exit with Li Xunran tonight.” 

Bo Jinyan is quiet for a second.

Jian Yao is sporting an extended costume.  Her damp hair drapes over her shoulders.  She is him together with her sparkly eyes.  And Li Xunran is him too.

LI Xunran.  Bo Jinyan remembers him.  He’s the competent police officer.  He appears to be a superb pal of Jian Yao’s.  However maybe they’re extra than simply pals?  In any other case, based mostly on Jian Yao’s character, she won’t let males dressed like that in her home presently of the night time.  

Hmmm….

He takes a take a look at Li Xunran, then turns to take a look at Jian Yao, and says to them: “Yao Yao’s pal is my pal.  Let’s all go collectively.”
