After class, without any offers from Yuan Zong, Xia Yao dragged himself to find the man on his own accord. Frankly saying, he still held a little bit of suspicion that the dish was Yuan Zong's artistic work. He hid behind the kitchen door, peeking through the door clearance.

There was nobody but Yuan Zong there.

The lotus roots had been boiled to a reddish color before the man took them out of the casserole. He waited for the roots to cool off, then skillfully hulled them before slicing them into small circles, putting all together in a bowl. The man continued to add pounded rock, white and cinnamon sugar respectively, covering the steamer as the final step.

As Xia Yao was sticking his eyes to the man without a single blink, Yuan Zong turned his back to the observer, his steady voice cut through the silence.

"Come in if you want to watch me, no need to lurk."

Only then did Xia Yao push the door open, his slender figure slightly leaned against it. Though his gaze doubtlessly shown an unconcealed admiration, the younger man's voice sounded bitter, unable to be defined as jealousy or refusal.

"A pool of talent, huh?"

Yuan Zong stepped forward next to him, a muscular arm pressed against the door right on the younger's head while his watchful gaze remained fixed on Xia Yao.

"All because I bumped into such a hard to please person."

Xia Yao deliberately ignored the hidden meaning of the statement, tapping on the larger one's shoulder, reluctantly said, "Thanks a lot."

"What are you thanking me for? I never said I was making these for you."

Xia Yao's gaze immediately darkened, as the hand on Yuan Zong's broad shoulder began to squeeze.

The taller one simply took that hand off, gripping it in his own, looking at the other calmly and somewhat lovingly.

"Next time spill it if you want to eat more, don't be mouse-like."

Xia Yao withdrew his hand in irritation.

"Where are you going on October 1st[1] ?", asked Yuan Zong.

([1]: Chinese Independence Day)

"We, policemen will have to be on duty, getting only two days off. It's out of the question to travel faraway, yet the nearby places are always loaded with people. Maybe I'll hang out and play cards with my colleagues"

"Those hanging out are only for girls," Yuan Zong replied, "I'll take you to a place."

Finishing his sentence, Yuan Zong dragged Xia Yao to the garage beneath. Inside was two cars and a motorbike. Xia Yao's eyes blazed with excitement right at the moment they looked at that high quality Harley motorbike. It was chrome-plated and equipped with other components of aluminum alloy, all emitting a stunning aura. The color, gloss, nails, supplementary items... made the powerful motorcycle strikingly splendid.

Before then in Hong Kong films, it was common to see such scenes: a gang of stunning gentlemen with eagle insignias, black leather suits, shoes and gloves, riding dozens of powerful motorcycles on streets, utterly breathtakingly. Especially for those who were born in the early 80s like Xia Yao, these motorbikes were truly a burning passion.

No dude had never dreamt about Harley and Xia Yao was of course not an exception. Since the age of seventeen or eighteen, for several times he had made a fuss about purchasing one, however Ms Xia was at no time indulgent. That kind of motorcycle hurt many people's eyes, as it gave an impression of uncontrollable playboys. Hence, Xia Yao only had the chance to ride it for some time in the club, till now he couldn't help recollecting the thrill of those rare occasions.

"What about me taking you to Yellow River bank on it for some fresh air?" Asked Yuan Zong, "It's what real men do."

Xia Yao was obviously moved, yet he said nothing, his hands continuously gripped and rested on two handle-bars. In the end, he couldn't hold in the excitement, stretching two legs as he say down on the monstrous motorbike.

"Let me try first."

Yuan Zong threw to him a helmet and eye-guards. Xia Yao's head felt a bit heavy after putting them on, yet he endured to look gorgeous. Yuan Zong stood on one side, observing like a trainer. Xia Yao operated the motorbike, accelerating, turning before accelerating again. His handsome appearance perfectly merged with the motorcycle beneath. After riding around the stadium, he speeded up to the highway as fast as lightning.

Riding for several miles, he felt not yet satisfied, as his chest still ferociously burnt after pulling off the helmet. Oh he was insane for that ecstatic, refreshing feeling.

Yuan Zong did waste no time to get back to the kitchen, packaging mouthwatering lotus roots in cinnamon sugar and brought them along.

"So? Want to go?" asked Yuan Zong.

Xia Yao twitched his eyelids, his voice showed apparent excitement.

"I won't sit behind your back, I want one of my own."

"This bike was assembled by myself, one of a kind in the whole world, you won't be able to buy such a fantastic engine anywhere."

Xia Yao gave the other a sharp glance, "You're kidding me, aren't you?"

"After all, wanna or not?"Yuan Zong waved the bag of freshly cooked lotus roots, his actions definitely meant a threat.

Xia Yao grabbed Yuan Zong's wrist, taking the lotus roots himself. Before leaving, he threw over his shoulders a grunt.

"Let me see!"
