Xuan Da Yu and his wife Wang Zhi Shui :v

*************

No sooner had Wang Zhi Shui made a statement and had his check-up than he was escorted to the detention center on a police car.

There were do or police escorts in total, including Xia Yao. While in the car, Wang Zhi Shui constantly casted cheeky look at Xia Yao, who sometimes glanced back and, therefore, spotted a broad grin on his face. Wang Zhi Shui didn't look like he was going to the detention center, but being taken to "Candy land" instead.

Sitting right next to Wang Zhi Shui, watching his expression, Xiao Hui was annoyed.

"I've never seen anyone go to jail as cheerful as you. Do you have an acquaintance there?"

"Nope",Wang Zhi Shui shook his head with a smile.

"Is someone coming for your debts?"

Still shaking, "Nope."

"Then what's with your smiley face?"

"No idea." Still beaming.

Xiao Hui, "..."

Actually Wang Zhi Shui wasn't sure. But seeing Xia Yao made him feel excited. Shame that Xia Yao didn't feel the same. All other officers took turns exchangibh a few words with him, except for neglectful Xia Yao.

Wang Zhi Shui took the initiative to talk to Xia Yao, "Officer Xia, you don't seem to talk much."

Beside him, Xiao Hui grunted, "Only to you."

Wang Zhi Shui didn't even bother with it, smilingly continuing his observation on Xia Yao.

Xia Yao put the phone in his pocket, finally looking straight at Wang Zhi Shui.

"Did you bring enough money?"

"What money?" Wang Zhi Shui questioned.

"The food there is not good. You'd better have your relatives send you some money, in case you're hungry." Xia Yao thoughtfully suggested.

"No big deal. I can eat anything." Wang Zhi Shui smirked, "Furthermore, that is expensive. Where would I get the money to give them?"

"You're so cunning." Xiao Hui couldn't help mocking, " I really don't get it. People who steal Maotai make profit from them. Only, you drank it all. After all, how greedy can you be?"

Wang Zhi Shui responded, "I'm just chasing the high life." He shrugged shamelessly.

Xiao Hui burst out laughing for a moment, then said nothing else.

At this point Xia Yao meticulously assessed Wang Zhi Shui. He found that every thing Wang Zhi Shui wears was fake, only the hairstyle seemed fashionable. That Wang Zhi Shui had stolen numerous things from Xuan Da Yu, which might at least cost thousands, bothered him a lot. That guy neither bought expensive clothes nor ate fancy food, and doesn't rent a single house. Even the drink he had was other people's. So where did he hide that money?

Xia Yao's thoughts were interrupted by Wang Zhi Shui, "Officer Xia, can I ask you something?"

"What?", Xia Yao quickly recovered himself.

"Come closer, I'm just asking you privately."

Worrying about Xia Yao's safety, Xiao Hui coldly jumped in on the conversation, "Just spit it out already, so everyone can hear. If what you're saying is nasty, then keep it to yourself!"

However Xia Yao pressed Xiao Hui's hand and extended his face across.

Wang Zhi Shui hesitated for a moment, then asked Xia Yao with reserve, "The thing is... Do they rape asses in prison?"

Xia Yao gave him three words.

"In your dreams!"

Alright... Wang Zhi Shui reluctantly sighed with relief.

Xia Yao came back to the main point, "Every cell has a security camera; therefore, threats of violence are never the problem. Don't you worry."

Wang Zhi Shui said his thanks with ease.

This Saturday, Xia Yao was finally able to return to training like normal. Under the blissful morning rays Xia Yao eagerly brought his Bird cage along to the bodyguard company.

When a female student passed by, seeing Xia Yao playing with the little bird, she tried starting a conversation.

"Mr Xia, your bird must be sad being locked inside the cage all day. Should you sometimes let it out to get a breath of fresh air?"

Xia Yao questioned, "What if it flies away?"

"It can't be that bad. My sister 's parrot is brought outside every day. It just perches on my brother in law's shoulder. I've never seen it fly away. I think you can train yours to do so too."

Xia Yao suddenly thought of something, revealing a devious smile at the corner of his mouth.

Upon finishing the lunch, Xia Yao gave Yuan Zong a slice of durian.

Unfortunately, Yuan Zong has a strong dislike for durians. It's not that he can't stand the odour, but is just simply fed up with its greasy taste.

Xia Yao added, "This was the only slice I brought over from home, even I can't bring myself to eat it."

In actuality, Xia Yao brought this durian for Little Hill Myna who is addicted to its taste. The bird would never fail to spew out sweet words just for a piece of durian.

But Yuan Zong had never received such affection from Xia Yao before, so how could the elder man rebuff such a caring offer? No sooner had Yuan Zong held the slice of durian than it had been digested.

* * *

The sixth period was a theory lecture, in which Yuan Zong was the main mentor. As a matter of fact, he rarely served as a lecturer and only took charge of the lessons that set up high requirements and rigorous standards.

Moreover, Yuan Zong was a man of few words, which greatly emphasized the necessity of this educational program.

All the pupils were so willing to attend this lecture that the thought of making excuses for absence never crossed their mind.

Yuan Zong's classroom was the training compound - a far cry from those of other coaches which are separated rooms. Morever, all the students had to standing at attention during the whole lecture, which showed their coach's immense strictness.

The strained atmosphere harmonized with Yuan Zong's speech and stern expressions. The soldiers were at a complete standstill. No slight movement, no utterance, no gasp. Everyone was motionless.

At that tense moment. a black hymna suddenly flew into the room.

No soldier dared to take a glimpse at that bird. They knew the punishment would await them for that spontaneous sign of being distracted.

Little myna circled Yuan Zong's head for a while, before landing on Yuan Zong's shoulder, gently brushing his beak past Yuan Zong's ear without letting go of it.

That rascal bird continually squawked, "Feed...Feed...".

The heavy silence was then on the verge of bursting out.

Holding their laughters, the soldiers thought with amusement: Isn't that his brother-in-law's pet? Oh, that bird is truly fearless!

Xia Yao's heart was definitely singing with most joy among all the learners, but he kept back his jubilation, wearing the most indifferent expression.

Yuan Zong quietly glanced at Xia Yao before going on teaching.

Surprisingly, it was not until Yuan Zong opened his mouth that than Little Hymna started to hysterically peck his lips, "Kiss me... ! Kiss me...!"

An adorable enthusiastic hymna, against the giant of a man who was acting cool was enough to take all the women standing there by storm, as they innerly screamed: "Aw! So cuteeeeeeeeeee!".

However, Yuan Zong's temperament brought a worrying thought to the mind of people who held the deepest comprehension of his personalities.

What if poor Little Hymna were strangled, even if he belonged to the man's brother-in-law?

The best thing they could hope for now was that Yuan Zong would simply shoo the bird away.

They never expected that their fearsome coach didn't even shove the pet off, but literally placed a kiss on its beak. Needless to say, that momentary action whipped people up with wide-eyed amazement.

As sensing the aroma of durian on Yuan Zong's kiss, the myna flew away with satisfaction.

The former dense atmosphere completely failed to linger any more in the classroom.

Indeed, the most striking moment of a man was not when he, with an overbearing aura, becomes stern and frightening. In fact, people are most easily influenced by his even littlest act of caring and kindness, which is usually well concealed beneath the frightfully cold shell.

The girls' eyes silently exchanged a gaze full of excitement: their innermost tribute to Yuan Zong, which had been suppressed for a long time, was now like seedlings ready to bud with all the life and fertility which had been held back and carried over to this moment.

Xia Yao looked around and thought, Damn it to hell, this dude somehow gained a bunch of airheaded fans when he should have been shamefaced.

What about Yuan Zong in that moment? How could his sensibility not help him see through this truck? One should bear in mind that it takes a man countless efforts to gain a firm pedestool, but his tryings can be shot down in a second by a cannonball. And Xia Yao was that cannonball. So how could Yuan Zong keep back his rage? And a rumpus could have happened if it had been any another student. But to Xia Yao, the normal given punishment would be completely galling. However, Xia Yao knew he would escape physically unharmed, thereby totally neglected its severity. What could Yuan Zong do and just how severe could the punishment get?

Then, everything was unexpected. His ipad was taken away, plus he needed to hand in a Letter of Apology."

Xia Yao flew off the handle right in the middle of Yuan Zong's office. For a potential game addict,

"Where is it? Give it back to me! Damn it!" Xia Yao came out with hard words.

Yuan Zong protested against Xia Yao's request: "Then give me an appropriately written Letter of Apology"

"Are you out of your mind?" Xia Yao gnashed his teeth: "I am not a kid! Who even writes Letters of Apology anymore?"

Yuan Zong's words were strong as usual: "Then there'll be no dinner for you."

Xia Yao knew Yuan Zong preferred candies to harsh criticisms, and since he couldn't bring himself to apologise, Xia Yao used his elbow to cheekily poke yz in the chest.

"Take it easy. It's no big deal! Your face doesn't matter at all! So be a man and be open - minded!"

Yuan Zong replied: "It isn't about whether I lose my face or not."

"So what is it all about?"

Yuan Zong held his breath for a while before finally admitting.

"Why did you tell me that that slice of durian was for me?"

Xia Yao's lips twitched, "So it's been about this tiny problem all along?"

That fixed expression on Yuan Zong's face was the answer to all.

"Well... I give up!" Xia Yao muttered. Then, he took an orange out of his backpack and gave it to Yuan Zong: "From the bottom of my heart, I give this orange to you. Alright?"

Yuan Zong raised his head, hinting Xia Yao to dig up his backpack for more.

And to his amazement, the Ipad had been staying there for a while.

Xia Yao double checked everything on his iPad, especially his game memories, and sighed with relief. Giving Yuan Zong the last glance, Xia Yao mumbled under his breath, "So naive."
