Back in the police department, everyone had lined up to welcome the
victorious Xia Yao.
"Xia Yao, my man, winner of all three rounds!"
"The female colleagues from other departments are dying to take a picture
with you."
"Captain also wants to hold a party to celebrate your victory, and have a
meal with the brothers."
"..."
Xia Yao was besieged with a horde of mouthy comrades. However, he
stayed silent, not speaking a word, and cleaned up his personal items. Then
he insisted with a forced smile, "I'm not feeling too well, let's leave it until
another time, okay?"
Having said so, he swung his uniform over his shoulders and made a quick
exit.
"Hah, why does he not look so good?" "
"Perhaps it's because that foreigner stole his first kiss, so Xia Yao is
uncomfortable?"
"Pfft- you've got to be kidding me!"
"..."
Xia Yao's home is located in Wang fujing [1], at the foot of the imperial
palace. With an overall width of a few hundreds meters square, it's a
embodiment of a luxurious Chinese styled home. But the architecture
included only three rooms. The master bedroom - as big as a stadium - has
one single king sized bed situated in the middle.
[1]: Wangfujing is one of the most famous malls of Beijing
"Hello, Hello!"
The greeting actually came from a hill myna [2], it's a very fast learner, and
so when Xia Yao has free time, he would teach the Hill Myna one or two
sentences. When he was busy, he'd hang a cassette by the window and the
hill myna would learn by the machine.
[2] a type of bird of the starling family (native to southeast Asia) that are
characterized by their ability to mimic speech and are often kept as pets.
The hill myna had just learnt a line from a song that it kept on repeating
again and again: "Kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss, kiss me, kiss me passionately..."
Xia Yao's veins showed on his forehead, what the hell are you doing singing
like that, huh? "Kiss kiss kiss", can't you sing anything else?! Can't you be
more serious, huh? You're singing like a broken machine, it's absurd. Turns
out, the cassette has really ran out of battery, the sound it was playing was
no different from what the hill myna was singing, like two broken stereo
tapes.
"Stop singing!" Xia Yao roared.
The hill myna immediately repeated, "Stop singing," then continued to
shoot out a wave of "kiss".
Xia Yao was burning with anger when the door suddenly creaked open.
Peng Ze's face appeared from behind the door.
"Why are you here?" Xia Yao grumbled.
Peng Ze was wearing a baseball cap as he proudly walked into the room,
"I've been trying to call you but you would not pick up, so I could only
come in person to invite you. There's going to be a congratulatory party
tonight dedicated to you! You should come!"
Xia Yao didn't even give it a second thought, "Not going."
"Don't be like that! Dou sensei has already made reservations, and beautiful
girls have also been called, so don't let him down."
Xia Yao, on the other hand, absently played with two nuts, pretending not to
hear. Peng Ze had an incomprehensible expression on his face, "I know
you're upset, but what's wrong with a little party? Don't you want to meet
other people? Your brothers just want you to show off a little, you know, if I
had a red carpet, I would've laid it at your feet already."
"Not in the mood. "
Peng Ze choked on these words.
Suddenly, an unknown questioning voice appeared.
"Who's talking?"
Peng Ze glued his eyes to XianYao make sure he wasn't opening his mouth.
And then it appeared again, "Who the hell is talking?"
Peng Ze was scared to death, his eyes wandered back to Xia Yao, whose
lips still remained shut.
"Can-can you hear that weird noise"
Xia Yao hid his smile and coldly said,"Not at all!"
Right then, the bird uttered, "Who the hell is talking?"
Peng Ze was shocked at first, then he quickly laughed, pointing his finger at
Xia Yao."Oh, I see! You're using your stomach sounds to trick me, huh?"
Xia Yao," ... "
