Xie Yan ignored him for the past few days, and even avoided looking at him, but he never displayed apparent repulsion. Sometime he even called Shu Nian to make black tea for him in the morning. Shu Nian thought thoroughly and didn't not give up, as he never asked much from Xie Yan.
However Xie Yan began to frequently [1] returned home late at night.

He kept on shifting around, and suddenly remembered when he was at the company today and heard something about Marcel Proust that was told by a secretary who had a Master of Arts degree when they had a conversation.
"Ah, you are talking about that immoral man?"
"...What, what do you mean by immoral?"
"You don't know? He had a relationship with his butler. He's gay."
