“Hey, I haven’t met you for a long time. Aren’t you busy dating with beautiful women? Why can you be so free as to drink with me?” Zhong Shaoting teases Kang Jian. Listening to Zhong Shaoting’s slightly ironic words, Kang Jian says: “Well, stop making fun of me. I’m already crazy now. I have my reasons for inviting you here. Firstly, I want to thank you for matching me and An Ya, who has become my intimate; secondly, I also want to ask for your advice.” Hearing these words, Zhong Shaoting raises his eyebrows: “Don’t mention it. I did that just like lifting a finger. So just tell me what trouble you are in.” “I consider you as my friend, so I am not afraid of losing face before you. To be honest, the reason why I am here is that I had a quarrel with An Ya just now. I think I’m perfectly considerate for her, but she doesn’t accept that. So do you know how to coax girls?” Kang Jian is kind of embarrassed. However, Zhong Shaoting can’t help laughing when he hears this.
“For God’s sake, stop laughing. I am serious! I haven’t fallen in love with a woman before I met An Ya, so I want to ask you. If you keep laughing, I won’t ask you anymore!” Kang Jian is a little angry. “I’m sorry, really sorry. I just can’t help. But you need to tell me why you two quarreled with each other so that I can tell you what to do.” Zhong Shaoting tries to be serious. Kang Jian hesitates as he doesn’t know whether he should say it or not. After all, this involves his business. However, because of his cooperation with Zhong Shaoting, in addition to Zhong’s good relationship with An Ya, it seems to be OK even if he tells Zhong the truth. Finding Kang Jian so hesitant, Zhong Shaoting realizes that it must have something to do with his drug deal. Generally speaking, Kang never mentions his business before Zhong Shaoting, but he tells this to An Ya, which proves that he really loves her. “If it’s hard for you to tell me, I will understand, as I shouldn’t pry into your private matters.” Zhong Shaoting says these deliberately. “No, no. I don’t mean that. I’m just thinking about how to tell you. Give me some time to clear my mind.” Kang hastily explains.
The two fall into silence, but neither of them feels too embarrassed, as they both have something on their mind. After a while, Kang Jian says: “It happened like this. I got a big business, as you know, there are high risks. So naturally I don’t want An Ya to be involved, and I told her my real plan that I couldn’t take her with me on business occasions, because I need to hide drugs on women so that the drugs won’t be found easily.” Zhong Shaoting gives him no response, after which Kang can’t help asking: “Shaoting, did you hear me?” “Ah, I am listening, please go on.” Zhong Shaoting rests his hand on his forehead. Taking a gulp from the wineglass, Kang Jian goes on: “I was intended to do that for An Ya’s good. But she said that I didn’t care about her or trust her, as I was not going to take her with me on important occasions. In such a situation, we were both very angry and had a quarrel, after which I went out.”
“You just care too much about her. If An Ya hopes to go with you, just let her do. Girls are mostly very sensitive. Perhaps An Ya thought that you hadn’t considered her as your family member.” Zhong Shaoting suddenly changes into a psychologist. But Kang Jian can’t understand, so he asks Zhong modestly: “So what should I do?” Hearing this, Zhong Shaoting thinks for a while, and then he says: “All right. Go back and tell her all the risks you two may take, and if she still insists going with you, just agree. After all, this is also a way for her to integrate into your life.” “OK, I understand. Then I’ll leave for now. Shaoting, just enjoy yourself here. I’ve paid the bill.” Getting Zhong Shaoting’s advice, Kang Jian goes home hurriedly without too many words. Back home, looking at An Ya who still sits angrily on the sofa, Kang Jian takes the initiative to reconcile with her, “Ya, I don’t want to take you there because I am unwilling to put you into danger. On the day when we decided to be together, I’ve told you all the risks you might encounter after staying with me. Do you know the consequences of being found dealing with drugs?”
Hearing Kang’s soft voice, An Ya knows that she can’t be overbearing, either, so she softens her attitude: “Jian, I know you care about me. But we are already together, which means that I am ready to take all the risks with you.” Kang Jian is greatly moved by An Ya who is so sincere, and what else will he ask for if he gets such a wife like her? So Kang agrees: “All right. Three days later, we will deal our drugs at the biggest bar of this city. I will hide some drugs on you in case that they are easily found. Are you afraid? This is your last chance to quit.” “I won’t quit. I have remembered what you told me. Now, it’s time to rest.” An Ya says to Kang Jian. The next day, when the sun rises, Kang Jian wakes up and starts to arrange everything for the drug deal. And An Ya goes to buy many good things for herself in the shopping mall, using a credit card with an extremely high limit.
When An Ya leaves the shopping mall, a man happens to touch her, after which An Ya, who is very arrogant, immediately shouts at him: “Don’t you have eyes? Can you bear the consequence of injuring me?” “Sorry, I am very sorry. I was not on purpose! Please forgive me.” The man apologizes quickly. “I am happy today, so I will let you go this time. But remember to pay attention!” It is rare that An Ya shows her mercy. However, she doesn’t notice that the man has put a monitor on her. When the night falls, An Ya, who has been shopping the whole day, finally arrives home and shows what she has bought in the mall to Kang Jian excitedly: “Jian, come here and help me choose a suit of clothes, I will put it on two days later at the deal.”
“Silly girl. The clothes you are going to wear on that day need to be specially made, and today I have been out to arrange this. The day ahead of the deal your clothes will be sent here in the afternoon.” Kang Jian dotes on An Ya. But she feels that she is too silly after hearing Kang’s words. She asks him awkwardly: “Ah, why don’t you tell me in advance? It’s too embarrassing. I even worry what if I let you feel disgraced.” Kang Jian gives her a bright smile: “It’s all right. I will tell you what you should pay attention to tonight. As long as there are no big faults, everything will be OK. Don’t worry.” “OK, please tell me everything as quickly as possible. I will remember them carefully.” An Ya replies. Looking at An Ya who is like a little fool, Kang Jian can’t help smiling: “Not much. The environment of X Bar, the biggest bar of this city, is very complex, as there are various kinds of people. So you must follow me all the time and remember not to walk randomly.”
An Ya certainly won’t forget such little requirements. Immersed in happiness, An Ya thinks that she has already gained the complete trust of Kang Jian. After all, as long as she knows something related to Kang’s business, it will be hard for them to break up in the future even if Kang wants to leave her. An Ya thinks with pleasure. But at this moment, the details that where and when Kang Jian will deal with his drugs as well as where he will hide his drugs are all divulged to someone. Kang Jian and An Ya will never know what “surprise” is waiting for them because of the drug deal.
