After dinner ended, it was already dark when they came out of the restaurant. Yan Qiuchi glanced up and saw the stars twinkling in the night sky. The weather was very hot during the day, but at night there was a nice coolness.

Lu Ming rushed back to the set overnight. Shen Jintai and others escorted him to the car, then they went back to the hotel. The restaurant was less than a kilometer away from the hotel so Shen Jintai planned to walk back to help him digest his meal.

Mr. Zhang originally didn't stay in the hotel, but he couldn't bear the flood of spring* and said to Yan Qiuchi enthusiastically: "President Yan didn't drive. My car will take you."

*Flood of spring (春心泛滥) = love between two people is already very strong, like the waters in the rivers and is about to overflow.

Shen Jintai let out a "Tsk" and glanced back at Mr. Zhang. This man had no tears without seeing the coffin. His warning didn't work.

*No tears without seeing the coffin (不见棺材不掉泪) = metaphor referring to not giving up until you fail completely.

It wasn't that Mr. Zhang was unscrupulous. He wasn't planning on doing anything. He just wanted to do his best to please the handsome guy in front of him.

Shen Jintai was about to speak, when he heard Yan Qiuchi say: "Then I'll be troubling Mr. Zhang."

Shen Jintai was shocked. He looked at Yan Qiuchi. Yan Qiuchi asked him: "Together?"

Shen Jintai declined saying: "The hotel is close by." It wasn't his first time coming to this restaurant. It was only a 10 minute walk from here to the hotel.

Yan Qiuchi no longer spoke and got into Mr. Zhang's car. Mr. Zhang looked flattered, gave Shen Jintai a smile, and hurried into the car.

Xiao Tang said: "Why did President Yan get in his car? This Mr. Zhang is not very good."

Shen Jintai didn't know what Yan Qiuchi was going to do. However, he didn't worry too much about Yan Qiuchi. He was a tall, strong man, so no one dared bully him. While Mr. Zhang was lustful and greasy, he was also quite cowardly and wouldn't dare to overstep.

Xiao Tang took out a mask from his bag: "Brother Jin, do you want to wear it?"

"It's so late, no one will recognize me." Shen Jintai said.

The advantage of being in such a remote area was there were no star chasers. Except for when he goes out to buy things during the day, no one recognizes him usually at night. In fact, wearing a mask during Summer would make him look more conspicuous.

As the two of them walked along the sidewalk in the direction of the hotel, Xiao Tang suddenly stopped and pointed to the front and said: "Eh? Isn't that Mr. Zhang's car? Why did it stop there?"

Shen Jintai looked ahead and saw Mr. Zhang's car was parked on the side not far ahead. Before they reached the car, Yan Qiuchi had gotten out. The lights of the car turned on and it drove off.

"Hey." Shen Jintai walked up.

When Yan Qiuchi looked back and saw him, he smiled and said: "You walk pretty fast."

Shen Jintai: "Didn't you just get in? How come you got off so quickly? Ran into trouble?"

"That's not possible." Yan Qiuchi said: "I was just having a casual chat with him. He won't dare pester you in the future."

Shen Jintai said: "It will work since it's coming from you."

Yan Qiuchi: "Yes. Looks like he will understand it."
