She turned around,
"You are ?" His voice skeptical as he walked to stand tall before Jiang li,
"Before asking someone, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" She lectured him while taking a step behind to maintain the distance between them,
He blinked his eye obtaining a relaxed posture taking some moments,
"I am lu yusheng, and you?"
"Jiang li" she extended her hand, to which lu yusheng responded, he exchanged the polite, formal greeting through handshake and tried to keep up the conversation,
"You-"
"My apologies but I have to go right now, we will chat some other day" she strode forward without glancing back, while lu yusheng kept his eyes on her back until she was no longer visible.
The night befalls, city shined to lighten the mood, tall buildings showing the advertisement done by Qin yanli as memorandum, this night was not silent either.
Under the glossy chandelier of the vast room sat Jiang li and right before her was a new diary, untouched and wrapped in the transparent yet disturbing cover, she unwrapped it leaving the wrapper on the floor, she holded the diary infront of her,
I need to be calm, her thoughts shaping her mind to think, about everything that had happened,
She opened the diary, and took a brush, she was about to write until she noticed, and placed the brush back.
She stared at her own hand for a moment and picked up the pen,
1. Lu yu sheng
2. Shu mei ting
3. Shu jing xing
4. Ming xi
5. Yu tao chen
She wrote, and then paused and then glanced back at the door, and continued
6. Jiang shu xin
7. Mr. Jiang
8. Mrs. Jiang
The page was still empty, enough to write more but she flipped the page, and began
1. Wang hao tian
2. Chu ming ting
She placed her pen beside and stared at the page,
The motive of killing me can't be this only, she thought.
The sky was clear as glass, sunlight peeking through the holes of house, falling on to the floor of the large spacious residence, lu yusheng stood there, a glass of water in his hand and medicine in other, he swallowed the medicine and drank the water afterwards,
Qin yanli
His thoughts were the water in river, flowing and see-through,
At the award ceremony, he was the one escorting her,
"Don't worry" he held the bag for her, accompanying her to the auditorium,
"How about we make a bet" he purposed while walking with her,
"No need to bother" she gave him a look of sarcasm as they reached the red carpet area,
Other artists were there already, posing for the cameras, yanli took her purse from him as he added,
"If you won, I will give you the house in oulong, and if i won, you have to grant me a wish."
"I'm in" she replied and dashed forward waving her hand to the fans and cameras.
Her face again appeared in front of him, he faced the opposite direction to the window, there hanged a potrait of him with her, both of them in there casual clothes, yanli had worn the summer hat, both of them were smiling widely, at the back was a residence, only the entrance was captured.
Both of them had the young untouched appearance, suggesting their fragile age of maturity.
He went close, stepping forward towards the wall,
"Jiang li" he voiced himself as he placed his hand on the portrait of Qin yanli smiling and tapped his finger,
"A friend."
Walking through the busy mall, Jiang li's eyes were fixed on her device,
Until she stopped infront of the men's clothing section, she stepped inside making her way to the trial room, slowly and deliberately, she inspected the whole place to be vary of a known person, and then selected some leather jackets from the lounge beside, which contained many tried on clothes.
Each jackets to be the similar without much changes, and placed them in her hand.
Her car was parked in the parking lot, she closed the door of her car, sat inside and placed the jackets on the seat behind, and setted her destination.
The map of her car showed the destination as a remote area, she drove her car, through the big skyscrapers until she left all those behind, her car was now driving through the rich fertile soil which holded the crops to be harvested, reaching to her destination, the place was well-sighted, even though it seemed more like a underdeveloped area, but beautiful.
The entrance of the place, hung a board, totally empty, she made her way inside and placed the jackets at a wooden plank near a shredded house, and looked around, no one was there.
Carefully, she took out a thin, hand sized stick and placed it inside the second jacket, she turned back towards her car and without looking back, she drove off.
A man, young and sturdy who was coming towards this place from the contrary direction saw the car dove off, and quickly came at the empty boarded place, he saw those clothes at the plank, placed his hand on the jackets and checked the material, and inspected the jackets,
Four in number, and found the stick in between the second jacket, he holded the stick in front of him and sighed.
Wang haotian, a man in his prime placed in his couch drank the wine in his hand,
"Not anymore" he laughed looking at the glass of wine in his hand and sipped again,
All alone in his hall, there he sat celebrating, he poured in more wine, gulped a sip, placing the glass still filled with great force,
"Not anymore, Qin yanli, see how much the world loves you" He laughed, standing up from his couch he stood infront of the full body mirror, adjusting his appearance, straightening his collar,
"I gave you the chance, didn't i?" He laughed once again as he admired his appearance in the glass mirror.
