FLASH MARRIAGE-28.3

HERE IS THE REMAINING PORTION OF CHAPTER 28. I REALLY LOVED THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION BETWEEN JIANG LI AND XIAO YAN.

HE, WHO MAY LOOK AND SOUND COLD AND INDIFFERENT, WAS ABLE TO GAUGE HER MENTAL DILEMMA, HER OVERSENSITIVE ATTITUDE SO PERFECTLY. AND WAS SLOWLY & GRADUALLY BUILDING UP HER CONFIDENCE. I COULD ALSO SEE THE GLIMPSE OF HIS FEELINGS FOR HER THOUGH AT THIS POINT OF STORY ITS HARD TO COMMENT ABOUT THE DEPTH OF THOSE FEELINGS.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK, ENJOY THE READ!




chapter 28.3

my happiness has nothing to do with YOU (3)


Me: “What if your former lover was lying naked on your bed, what would you do?”

Jiang Li: “Throw him out.”

Me: “I don’t believe you. How can you let such kind of temptation go in vain?”

Jiang Li: “If not, then I will click some pictures. They may come handy in future.”

Me: “You are really despicable!”

Jiang Li: “Forget about that. I will prosecute him for trespassing and sexual assault.”

Me:……


I mentally kowtowed to his word ‘Sexual assault.’

Jiang Li added: “Xiao Guan Yan the problem is that you are way too dedicated and extremely clingy.”

I scratched my head and innocently said: “Ah, no actually the people are around me are way too flexible.”




Jiang Li: “In your consciousness leaving equals to abandoning and abandoning amounts to betrayal. So, if somebody leaves you it means he betrayed you.”

I blinked: “Is it like not so?”

Jiang Li shook his head: “Who defined this that if someone is with you then he must stay for life and cannot leave you? And even if he leaves you then also he hasn’t done anything wrong, perhaps it’s you who has chosen the wrong guy.”


I was completely speechless for a long time and finally said: “He told me ….that he would stay with me forever…”

Jiang Li looked at me as if he hated the iron for not becoming steel* and shook his head strongly: “How old are you, how can you believe such words? Most of the times such kind of promises are not even worth the price of cow dung.”


*Original text was 恨铁不成钢 Which literally means to hate iron for not becoming steel and figuratively to feel resentful towards the subject for failing to meet expectations and impatient to see any improvement.

I was stunned. Ah, he was right, what was a promise? He Zhi and I always broke our words. It was hard to keep small and trivial promises let alone promise of a lifetime. Such kind of words was nothing but sweet things to hear. Now I found it really funny, how I took Yu Zhi Fei’s promise so seriously in the past.

“Jiang Li, I will not anymore.”

Jiang Li: “What?”

Me: “I will not believe in anyone’s promise.”

Jiang Li: “In fact occasionally you can trust me as I have always been the man of a good character.”

Me: “I can’t find any relation between you and good character. I haven't even seen the dawn
of your so called character.”

Narrowing his eyes, he threatened: “Really?”

I trembled and quickly corrected my words: “No, no. you have a very good character. Actually super good character.”

I did not even have the freedom of speech and there he was, shamelessly boasting about his ‘good character,’ what crap!!!!

Before going to bed at night, I sent a text message to that strange number: ‘Yes, I am really happy and my happiness has nothing to do with YOU.’

FLASH MARRIAGE-28.2

HELLO PEEPS!! I AM HERE. THANKS TO YOUR GOOD WISHES I HAD A WONDERFUL TRIP AND NOW I AM BACK WITH A BIG DETERMINATION AND A BIGGER BELLY POUCH OR WHAT MY MUM CALLS CHUBBY TUMMY....:( GUESS ITS TIME TO HIT GYM.


BEFORE YOU GUYS START DRILLING THE QUESTIONS, YES, I KNOW I AM LATE AND I AM TRULY SORRY FOR THAT. BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE  TAKEN CARE OF URGENTLY. APOLOGIES.

SINCE I AM RESUMING THIS TRANSLATION AFTER A MONTH & A HALF BREAK SO, CURRENTLY  MY SKILLS ARE KINDA RUSTY. HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO POLISH THEM BACK AS WE DELVE FURTHER.

Warning: The following post is unedited.


Chapter 28.2

My happiness has nothing to do with YOU (2) 


As I finished speaking I immediately turned to look at Jiang Li, waiting for his critique. I angrily glared at him, mentally screeching what would you say now? Ah, that I was a rotten woman*? So, he was allowed to do whatever he wished with men and I did not ev

en have the right to imagine it, ah?


*Fujoshi

Jiang Li kept on driving leisurely and in a very casual manner asked: “What was your online friend; I don’t remember his name, doing here? He seems to really care about you.”

Me: “Yes, why, are you jealous?”



I had always been skeptical about Jiang Li’s attitude towards Wang Kai, apart from superficial aversion perhaps there was an underlying desire also. Although Wang Kai’s personality was not likable but in terms of appearance he was one of the best looking guys in the country.  

After listening to my words Jiang Li laughed out loud and said: “Yeah, I am jealous. So why don’t you figure out a way to stay away from him?”

Figure out a way to stay away from my boss? How was that possible? Oh God, I got a salary hike today only and I really did not want to quit my job. Was this some kind of joke or something, in order to extinguish Jiang Li’s fire of envy must this old lady let go of her recently doubled wages? Thinking like this, I firmly shook my head: “You want me to resign, not likely."

"Well." Jiang Li gave a monosyllable reply and then nothing happened.

I was a little scared. Jiang Li, this man, could murder a person without spilling a drop of blood, cold, underhanded and subtle that was how he handled things. If he decides to get back at me, what would I do?

Ah, dog’s leg*……So I smiled and said "Well, next time I will trick him to home and then leave him at your disposal."

*The original text was gǒu tuǐ zi which literally means dog's leg and figuratively one who follows a villain / henchman / hired thug

"No need," Jiang Li shook his head, "I am not interested in this kind of stuff.”

Oh, it turned out that Wang Kai was not up to his standard. In my head suddenly an image of Xue Yun flashed, a fine male beauty, so delicious ah.

Jiang Li just drove silently, no longer saying anything to me. By now, we were almost home, when he abruptly asked: "Is your friend Wang related to Wang Cheng Hai in any way?”

My forehead furrowed as I started thinking deeply: “Wang Cheng Hai? This name sounds really familiar.”

Jiang Li explained: "Wang Cheng Hai is a major shareholder of the Southern Star Alliance. Your company is also a subject of this Southern Star Alliance.”

I slapped my forehead and spoke my thoughts out loud: "Yes, Wang Cheng Hai is his father."

Suddenly, the car came to a screeching halt. Since I wasn’t mentally prepared for it so I was completely shocked.

I turned around and was about to question Jiang Li, but discovered that with a somewhat dangerous glint in his eyes he was looking at me. In normal circumstances, this type of look implied Xiao Guan Yan made a mistake and Jiang Li was dissatisfied. I glanced at Jiang Li fearfully then bowed my head down, could not dare to look at him. Although I did not know what my mistake was, but…..I was scared…..

Xiao Guan Yan was indeed good for nothing.

"Xiao Guan Yan" Jiang Li's voice rang out, husky and sultry, my poor little heart fluttered badly in my chest: “You have become so much better at seducing, huh?”

Whoa, apparently he was dead set on seducing me! Whereas I was relentlessly resisting his charms!!




In the evening I was peeling apples for Jiang Li…….well, this was my position in this house. He was the big lord of the house. The capitalist, he wouldn’t stop till he squeezes out all the sweat and blood from my body. If you are wondering how was he able to make me, Xiao Guan Yan work for him so obediently? Then the answer was simple, are you kidding me, you think that if I, Xiao Guan Yan, fight back then I will be able to win against Jiang Li? Forget about one; even ten Xiao Guan Yan will not be able to beat one Jiang Li!




Oh God, just thinking about this grieves my heart to no extent. Without saying anything and without thinking anything I simply concentrated on peeling the apple. If it’s not cut properly then the Jiang Li wouldn’t be happy and then the consequences would be very serious!

I was half way through in the peeling process when suddenly my mobile phone rang. It was a message. I looked piteously at Jiang Li, could he allow the poor little me to check the message? He swept a glance at me and then waved his hand slightly, a gesture to grant me the permission.

I put down the apple, held my phone up to read the message. It was from a strange number.

The content of the message was very succinct: ‘Yan Yan, are you really happy?’

Jiang Li picked up the half peeled apple and started peeling the rest of it: “Whose message?”

Staring at that strange phone number I said: "Yu Zhi Fei.” In this world there was only one person who addressed me as ‘Yan Yan.’

Jiang Li did not stop his actions and without lifting his head he said: “Then?”

I looked down at the string of those six words: “then, just saying hello.”

“Oh.” Someone continued peeling his apple.

I stared at Yu Zhi Fei’s text for a moment and then suddenly spoke: ‘Jiang Li, I think all this is nonsense.”

“Uh….huh?” Jiang Li looked at me, puzzled.

“I mean all this acting in front of Yu Zhi Fei does not make any sense. You also said that we have been separated for four years and whatever feelings we had have already turned into ashes. So, why am I still engaged in exacting this needless revenge? Even I find it tasteless and silly.”

Jiang Li, who had already peeled the apple completely, started cutting it into slices.

He carefully cut the apple and in a completely indifferent tone said: “Yes, you are very silly.”

Hey!!!!

Me: “Jiang Li, if you encounter your old flame then what would you do?”

Jiang Li: “You should tell where only then I can answer what I will do.” What crap was he spewing now?

Me: “What if your former lover was lying naked on your bed, what would you do?”

Jiang Li: “Throw him out.”

Me: “I don’t believe you. How can you let such kind of temptation go in vain?”

Jiang Li: “If not, then I will click some pictures. They may come handy in future.”

Me: “You are really despicable!”

Jiang Li: “Forget about that. I will prosecute him for trespassing and sexual assault.”

Me:……

AS SOON AS I CALM MY NERVES I AM GONNA PUSH MY LIL SELF TO CHURN OUT THE REST OF THE PART.




Chapter 28 (1)

My happiness has nothing to do with YOU!!



Jiang Li holding an umbrella came to the main gate of our company. He looked at me and then glanced at Yu Zhi Fei, who was standing beside me and ultimately his eyes wandered off to Wang Kai who was standing under a gaudy umbrella….that umbrella was really too eye-catching.

Jiang Li suddenly reached over and pulled me into his arms and then using a voice typical of chiung yao’s* male lead said: “Sorry, I am a bit late.”

* chiung yao is the pen name of a popular Chinese romance novelist based in Taiwan. Many of her works have been made and remade into movies and TV series. 




I trembled a little; my heart couldn’t help but sigh at Jiang Li’s extremely polished and impromptu performance.

And yet, he brushed off my hair from my forehead and planted a passionate kiss on it and then said: “Honey, are you cold?”

I was somewhat shivering. Originally it was not that cold but his one “Honey” was more than enough to freeze my heart and my body.

Chuckling softly Jiang Li pinched my cheeks. Then he took off his coat and covered me with it, popped open his umbrella, hugged me and walked us in the rain.

My head was pressed firmly against Jiang Li’s chest and I could not turn it…so I was not able to see Yu Zhi Fei’s reaction about our “affection”, was there any frustration on his face or not?

Jiang Li bowed down his head till his forehead touched mine and in a gravely tone said: “No need to look, you won.”

I raised my hand and very energetically rubbed his forehead, it was your win my advisor!!

Jiang Li looked down at me, smiled wickedly and said: “Aw, you are blushing.”

Nonsense, it was due to my anger, anger!!!

“But the way you blush” He paused, struggling to find the right words “it looks stupid.”

Whoa, what the hell!! Although my patience level was high but this blatant provocation by Jiang Li I was not going to ignore. I would be damned if I don’t retort back. He did not know what this woman was capable of! So, I clenched my jaw in determination and decided to stomp my heel on Jiang Li’s foot.

Jiang Li, as if he already knew my intention, stepped forward to avoid my attack. I, in my attempt of slaughter missed the step and lost my balance……to save myself from falling, impudently embraced Jiang Li, simply clung to his body.

Jiang Li frowned and said: “Just now I was wrong.”

Wow, Did the great Jiang Li realize and admit his mistake? These words really came out of his mouth? Indeed violence is the key to all the problems….

Jiang Li: “You don’t look stupid but you are actually very stupid!”

I, bit my teeth hard, but had no words to refute him.

Jiang Li, completely ignoring my dissatisfaction, directly shoved me into the car and then left.

While lying in my seat I looked at Yu Zhi Fei and Wang Kai through side mirror. At this point both of them were standing together. Apparently I was really keen to look at them. Due to the heavy rain the view was not clear but looking at the silhouette of those two people I suddenly felt emotional and muttered: “Both of them make a very good match.”

As I finished speaking I immediately turned to look at Jiang Li, waiting for his critique. I angrily glared at him, mentally screeching what would you say now? Ah, that I was a rotten woman*?

FLASH MARRIAGE-27.2

HERE COMES THE BIRTHDAY TREAT.

ENJOY THE GOODIES!!!!

CHAPTER 27.2
"SHOWING AFFECTION" (2)



I was still in a trance when suddenly someone shook my arm. A very familiar voice resounded: “Xiao Guan Yan, idiot, for how long are you going to stay here?”

Without lifting my eyes up I said: “I beg your pardon but Director Wang we are in the middle of a meeting….”

Suppressing his laugh Wang Kai said: “Idiot, the meeting had ended long ago. Everybody has left.”

I raised my head up and found that his words were indeed true. Now it was only two of us in the meeting room.

Wang Kai inquisitively asked: “Xiao Yan what’s there on your neck? Just now Director Yu was looking at your neck as if he has lost his soul.”

My face instantly burned red. Bowing my head further down I stammered: “Tha that….that I don’t know”

Seeing how embarrassed I was Wang Kai became more curious: “Xiao Guan Yan, you are not aiming for the heart of Gem of marketing team, Yu Zhi Fei, Are you?” As he spoke these words he leaned in closer to check my neck for something.

I subconsciously embraced my neck: “Director Wang, can I go back now?”

Wang Kai simply ignored my words, grabbing both my wrists simultaneously extricated my hands from my neck with an ease and then glanced at my neck.

I was so ashamed that I almost kowtowed. I was waiting for him to laugh at me.

I waited for a few minutes but did not hear any sound. So I looked up at him. Wang Kai was standing very calmly with a blank face even his usual wretched expressions were missing.

I struggled to snatch my wrists back from his grip but that annoying fellow had held them too tightly, damn!

I became a bit impatient: “Director Wang, you aren’t planning to kidnap your own secretary, are you?”

Wang Kai still clutching my wrists chuckled lightly and said: “Xiao Guan Yan, what kind of aphrodisiac did you feed your husband last night?”





Your mother…!!!


I knew it, how could one find ivory in a dog’s mouth!! I was about to contradict his words when suddenly the conference room’s door opened and a man barged in.

I glanced in that direction, huh, Yu Zhi Fei!

Seeing us Yu Zhi Fei was absolutely stunned. I discovered that currently the distance between Wang Kai and me was too narrow. Wang Kai was standing right behind me; his chest was almost glued to my back. And…he was holding my hands.


In short, it was really hard for anyone to not misunderstand this sort of situation.

I used all my power to push off Wang Kai a bit, eyes flickering in panic.

Wang Kai very casually asked: “Director Yu, is there any problem?”

Yu Zhi Fei very calmly replied: “I left something here.” As he spoke these words, he started walking towards the seat beside mine. I gave a fleeting glance to the seat and noticed a stack of documents on the table. It seemed he truly had forgotten something here.

As Yu Zhi Fei grabbed his folder Wang Kai, very untimely, approached my ear, smiled sinisterly and suddenly whispered: “Xiao Guan Yan, did it hurt last night?”

Hearing his words my hair almost stood erect. What the hell was he spewing! Did he really wish for me to die of anger, only then he would feel satisfied!

I was busy shooting glares at Wang Kai while Yu Zhi Fei simply picked up his stuff and without
uttering a word left the room.

“Wang Kai, are you tired of leaving?”

“Of course not, Yan Yan, next time I will definitely be gentler.”

“You are still saying rubbish!”

“ah ah ah ah…..hey are you going to murder your leader?”

“Shut your nonsense, I am going to kill you.”

“ah ah ah ah ah ah ah….ah, I am your boss, don’t you want your job anymore?”

“Today, No one, not even my old mother, can stop me from resigning!”

“ah ah ah…I was going to give you raise and you want to resign…”

“Raise, how much?”


“How about ten percent? Ah ah ah ah ah……twenty, thirty, okay? …ah ah ah ah fifty and final!...ah ah ah double, doubled your current salary! Plus other perks and allowances…” I placed a pen in his hands and made him sign on the paper. Feeling contented I clapped my hands and then, patting Wang Kai’s shoulder, I chuckled wholeheartedly and said: “Double salary, starting tomorrow.”

With his head hung low Wang Kai somberly hummed twice.

Wow, hahaha, No wonder Jiang Li loved to bully people. Bullying others was indeed refreshing!

By the time I finished up my work it was already dark outside and all of a sudden it started drizzling.
I stood in front of the company’s main gate like the Amah rock* and looked at the vehicle, coming and going, on the other side of the gate. I waited for quite a while but there was no sign of Jiang Li….normally he would always come by this time.



* Amah Rock (Chinese: 望夫石,Mong Fu Shek, lit. "the stone gazing out for her husband") is a naturally shaped rock located on a hilltop in southwest Sha Tin, Hong Kong. According to a legend, the faithful wife of a fisherman climbed the hills every day, carrying her son, to watch for the return of her husband, not knowing he had been drowned at sea. In reward for her faithfulness she was turned into a rock by the Goddess of the Sea so that her spirit could unite with that of her husband.


Oh Dear God, finding this rain too troublesome this guy, Jiang Li, must have decided to not come.

After confirming this speculation I started feeling frustrated, at the time of need not even his silhouette was in sight. Although this rain was neither too heavy nor too light but if I got drenched in the current fall weather then the chances of escaping cold were null. Cold always get accompanied by headache, for the treatment I would have to start taking medicines and if the medicines fails then there would be only one option: Injections……..I was getting scared of my own thoughts so I stopped thinking further.

As I was vacillating between the decisions of whether or not should I step out in the rain Yu Zhi Fei suddenly appeared in front of me. Carrying an umbrella in his hands he lowered his head to look at me. He opened his mouth several times and then finally said: “Yan…Secretary Guan, I can drop you.”




I shook my head, I would rather take an injection for cold than get a help from him.

Yu Zhi Fei regained his composure and added: “I am saying this from the standing of your colleague that I can drop you to your place.”

I was yet to give any response when I heard somebody’s voice from behind: “What other standing do you have, Director Yu?”

I turned my head to find Wang Kai with a smile plastered over his face.

Wang Kai holding an eye-catching umbrella in one hand waved a ‘hi’ from the other hand and started walking towards us. Considering how much I had bullied Wang Kai today I timidly started looking into the opposite direction, was really afraid to look at him……Wang Kai was not a fool, if in retaliation he wanted to exact revenge on me then what should I do?

I shot a glance at the outside, not far from the main gate a tall figure was standing with an umbrella in his hand.

I grinned foolishly. Apparently, Jiang Li still had some conscience.
 

Happy First Birthday!!!

FLASH MARRIAGE-27.1

Hello folks!
This chapter is about "Show Off'. This makes me ask you, have you guys ever seen a real life 'Show Off' couple. Well, I know one such couple, one of my distant relatives. I happened to see their life from close When I was visiting Canada for a seminar a few years back. It was a very short trip to Ontario so I decided to stay at their place on their request.
So this couple who couldn't keep their hands off each other in public was just too indifferent, if not exactly cold, at home. I was a little surprised to see such real life actors. What was surprising was not their acting but their desperateness to prove their so called love in front of others without giving a care to the fact that how tiring it was to constantly show something which simply wasn't there and for what. Well that's my perspective and I am sure many of you may disagree.

BEWARE OF HILARITY!!!






Chapter 27  (1)
“Showing Affection”



In the morning I was sitting in front of the mirror, grooming myself when Jiang Li suddenly spoke up: “Pull your hair up.”

Sometimes it’s just impossible to understand his words, “Ah?”

Jiang Li pulled out a small hair clip from the drawer of my dresser and repeated his words: “Pull your hair up.”

Me:  “Why?”

Jiang Li holding that small clip in his hand knocked my head and said: “Because it’s important. Now, hurry up or you will be late.”

Obeying his words I pulled up my hair.

Then Jiang Li went behind me and with the small clip in his hand fiercely pinched my neck.

“Ah, it hurts.” I screamed, covering my neck I turned around and glared at him: “What are you doing?”

Jiang Li with an innocent face said: “Showing affection.”

Me: “Showing affection my foot, you are obviously trying to murder me!”

Jiang Li very gravely said: “After passionate love making session there are always lingering traces on the body. You have to show this off today.”

I froze for a moment then I gradually realized the meaning of his words and my face immediately burned scarlet red…….all of you know what it stands for, right?

Jiang Li glanced at my face and in a cynical tone said: “I never imagined you as a shy person.”

Oh God!!! this *** man. I was also a woman, ah!!! And that too a virgin one……I never had one of those so called passionate love making session with anyone in my life.

At this time Jiang Li, after extricating my hands, was prepared to attack my neck once again. Actively defending my neck, I immediately covered it back and was not ready to let it go. So he threatened me:
“If you don’t co-operate then I will bite your neck!”



Well, as compared to being bitten by Jiang Li I chose the less dreadful option and anyways I was not going to die from a small hair clip.

So then, in a silent room a woman’s scream echoed for a long time……..

Once Jiang Li’s abusive job was done I still had some questions for him: “Jiang Li, why didn’t you pinch my neck from the front?”

Jiang Li: “Because you cannot see your back, idiot.”

Oh the script was like this: the back of my neck had obvious “traces of intimacy” which even I wasn’t aware of. Thus like a naïve fool I had pulled up my hair in a bun today and happily went to the office….but if that was the case wouldn’t it be seen by a lot many people? How shameful it would be?

So I put my queries in front of Jiang Li and he very gently replied: “Yeah, don’t tell me you realized it just now?”


I was distraught.

But I still wasn’t finished: “what if I don’t meet Yu Zhi Fei today?”

Jiang Li frankly said: “If so, then we will do it tomorrow also. Sooner or later you will meet him till then we will continue doing it.”

I should just flip the table, what the Hell!!

That morning thanks to Jiang Li’s masterpiece I was almost late for the work. Although I ‘did not’ know about the ‘marks of intimacy’ on my neck but I really wasn’t as good actor as Jiang Li so I stepped inside the building with a guilt-conscious heart and head bowed deeply.




Later in the evening, after work, Jiang Li told me that a deeply bowed head must have made those marks more discernible by increasing their exposure to the public eyes. Hearing his words at that time I sincerely wished to die!!


Right after reaching the office I went straight to Wang Kai’s office to ask for boss’s latest instructions. Wang Kai, at the moment, was leisurely leaning against the sofa and reading a newspaper while holding a toxic cup of coffee in his hands, pretending to drink it.

As his secretary I responsibly reminded him: “Director Wang, today there are a lot of things that you need to tend to…..”

Wang Kai looked up at me, smiled and said: “not a problem, this young master is highly proficient.”


Speechless, I was just speechless and not due to his narcissism but because he was truly very proficient. Ah, I was so so jealous of him………

A meeting was scheduled in the noon that was to be chaired by Wang Kai. Yu Zhi Fei was also going to attend it. Naturally, as a secretary of a certain someone I was also dragged into the meeting room.

Although Wang Kai was a shameless guy but whenever he was in a meeting, he never spewed any nonsense. Only in these meetings he would display a rare humbleness thus becoming a completely different person from his usual self. If I hadn’t known him for a really long time then I would have thought that either he was possessed by a ghost or he had a split personality.

At the meeting I was sitting in the position of Wang Kai’s secretary and coincidentally my seat was right next to Yu Zhi Fei’s seat…..hence I did not even have the courage to look up.

I couldn’t be any less interested in the contents of the meeting furthermore my heart was in a mess so
I was sitting on the chair, like a cow, blankly staring at the laptop screen. In my mind I was thinking whether or not Yu Zhi Fei would notice these ‘traces of intimacy’? If he saw what would be his reaction? If he had seen it then should I feel good about it or not? If he hadn’t ….no, even if he didn’t see them I would still go back and report to Jiang Li that Yu Zhi Fei had seen them, otherwise I wasn’t sure for how long my poor neck would have to suffer such atrocities by the hands of that butcher, Jiang Li!!! Besides, was it that important for Yu Zhi Fei to notice these marks? Important enough to risk my neck for it?

The answer was NO!!

God!

I was still in a trance when suddenly someone shook my arm. A very familiar voice resounded: “Xiao Guan Yan, idiot, for how long are you going to stay here?”
