After that drug incident, his relationship with Han Jia became closer yet also strange, and Jiang Xiaoning couldn't say whether or not he liked the current situation.

The time that they spent with each other was actually quite limited; Jiang Xiaoning did not go to Han Jia's place every day, and even when he did go, he would return home before midnight - only on rare occasions did he stay the night.

And Han Jia was still on call; when Jiang Xiaoning called him over, he sounded extremely exhausted as he leaned against the door and looked at him: "Are you messing with me on purpose? Is it interesting to have me come here only to watch you do your assignments?"

Jiang Xiaoning said angrily, "If I liked doing my assignments alone, I would have gone home already."

At that time, Han Jia merely looked down for a moment and then softly whispered, "You, ahh..."

After that, Han Jia never complained, and he seemed to put in a lot of effort for the sake of fulfilling his promise of "you are more important than anyone else". He never made Jiang Xiaoning wait for him for more than twenty minutes, and he never missed any of his calls - once, when he answered Jiang Xiaoning's call, his voice was clearly abnormal.

"I will be back a little late," his voice was still normal when he said that, however, his next sentence carried a difficult trill to it. "Don't wait for me."

Jiang Xiaoning was furious since he was keenly aware of that trill, and stubbornly said: "Come here now! I want to see you in twenty minutes!"

He ended the call as a nameless fire made him want to throw his phone out. He was halfway toward Han Jia's place at that time and arrived just fifteen minutes later; not long after he entered, Han Jia appeared.

"What's wrong? In a bad mood?" Han Jia was stared at by him in the middle of the room with a puzzled expression.

The remnant of his affair still lingered on him without his knowing, his eyes were moist, and his lips were bright red and because he had rushed back urgently, he was short of breath.

Jiang Xiaoning suddenly became a bit softhearted as he looked at him, but he held it back with a deep breath and said angrily: "What were you doing when you answered my call?"

At first, Han Jia stared blankly and then he laughed.

"I was even wondering what you were angry about," he stretched out that tone and his voice sounded like an elder that was teasing a child. Then he went to sit on the sofa and casually said, "I have work to do too ah."

Jiang Xiaoning was even more infuriated because of his tone. He stared angrily at him for a long while, mulling over the many words to criticize him, however, he also knew that he was in no position to speak out. In the end, he only teased with, "When you accept my phone call during 'work', how do you explain it to your 'work partner'?"

Han Jia seemed to think that he was quite amusing, smiling the entire time as he looked at him, took out his cellphone and swayed it in front of him: "Give a call and see."

Jiang Xiaoning browsed away from the site he was on and dialed, and very soon, Han Jia's cellphone sounded. He hooked his finger toward Jiang Xiaoning, signaling for him to come over.

Seeing his own name listed as "Jiang Laoban" (Boss Jiang), Jiang Xiaoning's mood was very much shaken. This title that seemed to be like that of a pimp - no matter how you look at it - made him raise his eyes to look up at Han Jia, completely speechless.
