EP 1 ~ Prologue: Luxurious Encounter

Xuan Ling looked at his watch as his other hand protected it from the blinding rays of the midday sun. The rain has stopped more than twenty minutes ago and the sun has now dominated like a distant beast. He had been standing so long by the subway station.

No more than a minute, someone came and stood beside him. The dominating aura quickly sent shivers to Xuan Ling's spine as he hesitated to take a quick look to confirm who that person was.

This man couldn't possibly the person he's been waiting for! It's impossible! He Yu is a gay idiot who couldn't possibly possess such aura.

He adjusted his stand and moved quite a few inches slowly from the man. From the shadows reflecting on the ground, he could see that it was a tall lean man, looking taller than his own shadow and has a clean hair cut. No! He Yu is has his hair down to his shoulder.

He froze. Was it one of his comrades? Did someone from the camp followed him?

He immediately turned to face him, only to be welcomed by a sweet yet manly smell of cologne that came with the breeze. Standing in front of him was an intimidatingly handsome man, he was staring straight into the opposite direction, his hands settled inside his pant pockets. At one glance, he looked like a freshly-shaved celebrity who got lost into the bustling crowd of people waiting for their ride.

Xuan Ling looked all around and extracted his phone from his coat pocket, accidentally pulling his handkerchief along. The handkerchief fell into the wet ground with Xuan Ling unable to notice.

From his phone, he dialled the number of the person he'd plan to meet. There was absolutely no answer. After six dials, he turned side to side in search for any signs of He Yu. There was no one who seemed to resemble He Yu even from the farthest distance.

From the distorted shadows on the wet ground, he noticed the man beside him move closer, extending his hand towards him.

"I knew it. Did someone send a spy to follow me?" he turned to ask. The man looked at him with a big question mark visible all over his face. It wasn't anyone he knew from the unit.

"What?"the man questioned. "I was just giving you your handkerchief, it fell into the ground. Here" In his hand was a white handkerchief with a beautiful embroidery of Xuan Ling's name.

"Xuan Ling..." the man called his name, reading from the material. "I'm Wang Yichen. He Yu's cousin"

"Why is it you?"

"My cousin had to go meet his mother. Don't even dare to complain. I was forced to meet a stranger here, I should be the one to complain." Wang Yichen stood proud, not even sparing a glance at Xuan Ling.

Xuan Ling who silently and carefully observed Yichen suddenly started to clap his hands in amusement. "Do you usually never blink and move your head? Are they stiff?"

Wang Yichen's jaw clashed as he hears the indirect insult. He faced Xuan Ling, a very dangerous smirk formed on his lips. "Everything about me is more than just stiff."

Xuan Ling swallowed as he stepped one feet sidewards further away from Wang Yichen. Now what the heck is this man implying with those dangerously threatening word?
