Junjun's fans came to see him yesterday at his current film location and they brought him A LOT of food! ^^ Gah! Isn't he just the cutest??!!! >_<\n************\nXia Yao's face set in grim lines, "Don't you dare step another toe out of line! I already gave you some. For you, that's enough."\nWang Zhi Shui, being thick-skinned as always, continued to whine for more, "Oh come on, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to just give me some more, right? I'm been left to starve for days."\nXia Yao annoyingly answered, "I just can't give you all of my money. What about me?"\n"I thought your family was really rich."\nXia Yao glared at him, "Who told you that huh?"\n"Well, it was that warden."\nXia Yao point his finger at Wang Zhi Shui's face and said, "Listen up, there is absolute nothing that pisses me off more than to hear those words. I have to go check the drain cover in the storming rain. If it's snowing like hell outside, do I have to work? Yes, of course, someone has to direct the traffic. My salary isn't money for old rope. Earning only a few thousand yuan a month, does that sound like a loaded life to you?" (You go get him Xia Yao! Ohhh ohhhh! Ma boy growing up already, sounding all mature 😢)\nWang Zhi Shui suddenly seemed sorry, to show it, he asked Xia Yao again but in a rather sheepish way, "Well...think of it this way, when I get discharged, I need money to get by, right? What if I hit rock bottom, and had to return to the stealing path again, then I get caught, wouldn't that mean all the efforts you make in the first place will go down the drain?"\nContrary to his expectation, Xia Yao just coldly replied, "Don't worry about that, your living expenses will be covered."\nAstonished, Wang Zhi Shui asked, "By whom?"\n\nXia Yao glanced at him. He could see the excitement in Wang Zhi Shui's eyes. Xia Yao imagined the pathetic future that awaited him, then took his wallet out again, gave some more money to Wang Zhi Shui.\nWang Zhi Shui put on a fleetingly grateful expression, his eyes lit up, "Mr Xia, it looks like there isn't much left in your wallet anyway. There's only one..."\nXia Yao lost his temper, "It looks like you can use some lessons about asking for more, huh?"\nWang Zhi Shui quickly shook his head. "No, no, don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to ask for more. It's just...you have a really nice wallet. What you say if I give you all of your money back and you can instead give me that wallet? You know, so I can keep as a souvenir."\nXia Yao snickered, "Not a bad eye for products you have."\nThat wallet was a birthday present from Dou Ye. It was worth far more than all of the money in it.\nWang Zhi Shui was fast. The moment Xia Yao was about to leave, he kneeled down and grabbed Xia Yao's leg tightly.\nXia Yao didn't feel like wasting more time on him. He said, "You'd better be good in here, I'm leaving now."\nBut Wang Zhi Shui couldn't let him leave just yet.\nThat was enough for Xia Yao. "What. Do you want? Get off me, I already gave you enough money, there's no point in whining for more..."\n"It's not like that." Wang Zhi Shui interrupted him. "Come on, I was just playing with you."\nXia Yao was confused, he sensed that there was something fishy.\nWang Zhi Shui pulled out the money from his pocket, stuck them into Xia Yao's hand. "Officer Xia, I appreciate your help but I can't take your money. It's really quite fine in here. I'll just have to endure this like another week and I'm out."\nHearing that from Wang Zhi Shui, suddenly, something welled up in Xia Yao's throat. "Well, you know...I don't mean anything else. And about the money, you can pay me back later when you are out of here."\nWith a truly sincere voice, Wang Zhi Shui said, "I'm afraid that's not something I usually do...paying back money, I mean. Officer Xia, I know myself, it's my nature, it's pretty much in my blood, don't waste your generosity on someone like me."\nXia Yao was lost for words.\nWang Zhi Shui insisted on giving back the money.\nThe two quietly gazed at each other, until Wang Zhi Shui suddenly turned his head towards the window. With a heavy voice, he said, "I hope, the day I'm discharged from here it would snow."\n"Why?"\n"No particular reason, I just like snow flakes. Because on a snowy day, the world is like a blank sheet. The snow will cover the earth, hiding all damning things. No one can see beyond the plain whiteness of the snow."\nIn that very moment, it started to dawn on Xia Yao that...apparently...behind this man was a long story that hadn't been told.\n ***The guard walked Xia Yao to the door, Xia Yao tapped on his shoulder and said, "Thank you."\n"Oh, what are you saying? Look, come what may, all that is needed is a word from you."\nOn the way home. Xia Yao couldn't stop thinking of what Xuan Da Yu said to him, "Treat him well. Treat him well. Treat him well..."\nHe stopped by the grocery store, wanting to buy something for Yuan Zong. He put his hand into his pocket, to see how much he had.\nXia Yao tried rummaging around in all of his pockets, only to discover that his wallet was missing, not even in the one where he usually kept it. The only pocket that seemed to have something was the one that Wang Zhi Shui, apparently, had stuck the money in earlier.\n\nSomething was up. He slowly took what was in the pocket out. It was an old piece of discount advertisement.\nIt began to come back to him. Wang Zhi Shui stuck the "money" into his pocket, and then purposely turned to the window and in a blink, it all made sense. Getting in the car, he started driving, punching the steering wheel. "Long story? Story my ass! I'm the idiot who was fooled. Damn it!" (Ahhh, what can I say? A tiger can't change its stripes! But I think we were all fooled by WZS)\nHe checked the watch. There was some time left. He drove back.\nNot long after closing the door, the guard heard another series of banging sound. "Who is it ?"\n"Still me."\nHe opened the door for Xia Yao. The first thing he heard was scolding. Words were harsh, seemed uncontrollable. "Fuck this shit, I swear I could kill him right now."\nThe guard couldn't catch up. "Didn't you yourself just told me earlier to take care of him?"\n"Earlier? My brain wasn't working. But it is now!"\n"What exactly happened?"\n"That bastard stole my money happened, right in this room." Xia Yao shouted.\nThe guard couldn't help but scoff a little, "Isn't he your friend? Why would he do something like that?"\nXia Yao couldn't straighten the story out then. He was too pissed so he hurried into the guard's room.\n"Don't you have security camera in here? Help me, I want to see the part when he was talking to me."\nA few minutes later, the guard played the surveillance video as requested.\nThey both watched it carefully from the top, until the part that Xia Yao took out his money to give it to Wang Zhi Shui.\n"Hey, doesn't this mean you deliberately give him the money?"\nXia Yao couldn't say nothing more than, "Just keep watching."\nThey kept on watching, till the part when the two in the video were staring at the window.\nXia Yao focused more than ever. He realized that, in the blink of an eye, Wang Zhi Shui's hand had moved, and before he could even notice, it was done like nothing had happened.\n"It must have been then." Xia Yao mumbled. "Please replay it slowlier."\nThe speed was reduced and finally Xia Yao could identify the movement.\nWang Zhi Shui had scored a bullseye. That split-second act could come up against Yuan Zong's level.\nIt amazed Xia Yao so much that he started to wonder if both Wang Zhi Shui and Yuan Zong learned from one master? Wondered if was it possible that both of them had planned out that night? Wondered if did Yuan Zong send Wang Zhi Shui to Xuan Da Yu's side to trouble him?"\n"That bastard!" the guard said. "With these types of people, we have to be tough. We have evidence anyway. But how much was stolen?"\nXia Yao falteringly answered, "Uh..about a thousand yuan including the wallet."\n"Having the guts to steal money from a police officer right in the detention room, it's obvious this bastard needs some lessons. I'll report him for you. This is enough to sentence him to 8 to 10 years in jail."\nThen, words from Zhuan Da Yu hit Xia Yao again: "If he was really gonna be kept in prison for years, then how long would I have to wait?"\nXia Yao grabbed the guard, calmly stopped him, "I'll take care of this. Can you go get him for me, just for 5 minutes, to talk."\nThe guard approved.\nFew minutes later, Wang Zhi Shui was brought in by the guard.\nXia Yao pushed him into the corner. His hand was around his neck in a stranglehold. He asked, nearly shouting, "Where the hell is my wallet?"\n"Your wallet?" Wang Zhi Shui tried to pretend as if he didn't known a thing. "Can't you find it? Oh, it's possible you have dropped it somewhere on the way? Now that you've mentioned it, I remembered I saw a corner of it poking out of the pocket. Oh boy, you must have dropped it. Officer, you'd better go find it quick."\nHe answered, strongly pushing Xia Yao away.\nXia Yao glared at him, his teeth chattered in resentment, "You can keep the money and the wallet, but give me my papers."\n"I don't even have your wallet then how can I have your papers?" Wang Zhi Shui intended to keep up the act.\nNot until then did Xia Yao finally understand Xuan Da Yu.\nThis guy wasn't simple. He was not just good. He was very good. He used the same trick, the trick that all lucid people could see through, on Xuan Da Yu twice and a police officer like him once. Xia Yao couldn't denounce him before because he didn't have proof. But even when he does now, he still can't touch him. Here couldn't scold at him, couldn't beat him. You mustn't lose it. The only thing you could do is sweet-talking.\nXia Yao nodded, tiredly said, "I give up... You're just too much."\nThen, he threw Wang Zhi Shui aside and walked out.\nSeeing the guard standing there, Xia Yao could only grin.\n"It was just a harmless joke. I got my wallet back."\nThe guard's face darkened.\nXia Yao once again tapped on his shoulder, forced himself to say, "Help me keep an eye on him."\nFrom the detention room to the big gate, the expression on Xia Yao's face has turned from silent to extreme. He got in the car, poked into the pocket. Then he found his bank card, membership card, ID that Wang Zhi Shui must have stuck in earlier without his notice. Xia Yao furiously threw everything onto to back seat.\n***********\n
