Chen An rolled his eyes at Ding Sheng. Not reconciled to being lectured by a junior, Chen An retorted: “and you consider yourself skillful and experienced? Let me ask you then, little friend, how many times have you been in a relationship?”

Immediately Ding Sheng lost the high ground. He’d always found lying difficult, so when confronted with Chen An’s question, he sputtered, “that’s a personal question! I, I refuse to answer it!”

“Um-hmm.” Chen An flaunted a victorious smile, stuck out three fingers and wagged them in front of Ding Sheng.

“Let me guess. Our Justice Boy has been a model student, and from kindergarten to university, he’s got top grades. Adding his decent upbringing and good looks, he must have received more than a little bit of eye-lash batting from girls.”

Chen An glanced at the young man, who was now proudly holding up his chest.

“About that you are right.” Ding Sheng was pleased by what Chen An said. Until the next moment.

“Unfortunately, this young man has been much preoccupied with study and then work, He had no time to even go on a date. Bar the time that he held hands with the girl next door while he was still in kindergarten, till now he has, ehm…no more experience in love than a new-born babe!”

“You looked me up?” Ding Sheng jumped up, his face flushed.

“You looked me up, so why can’t I do the same for you? You chased after me for three years, remember?” Chen An dragged Ding Sheng back into his seat. Seeing the young man still indignant, he soothed, “what did you chase after me for? And three years! If you’d used that time to chase after a girl, you probably had kids by now!”

“I like chasing after you.” The young man cast a furtive glance at Chen An and replied stubbornly.

“Fine, fine. Suit yourself. But know that even if you chase after me, I can’t bear you a child.” Putting on his sunglasses, Chen An laced his fingers behind his head and basked in the warm sunshine and briny breeze.

Yesterday Chen Yang went back to China. Chen An wanted to go with him, but Chen Yang insisted that Chen An need time to rest and relax, and that it would be best if he did not trouble himself with worries back home.

Chen Yang was certainly being considerate, and Chen An appreciated it. Still, the idea that he wouldn’t be able to help Chen Yang get through this made him a bit uneasy. He felt something was amiss between him and Chen Yang.

It was only a suspicion at first, now this suspicion was confirmed by Ding Sheng: Chen Yang had feelings for him.

“Do you mean it?”

Chen An was almost asleep when he heard the question asked in a small voice.

“What?” he asked.

“Is it okay if I chase after you?” Ding Sheng was half-kneeling next to the recliner, and his hands clutched at the hem of Chen An’s shirt as he asked hopefully.

“Silly boy…” Chen An turned into a smile, and he looked at the expectant Ding Sheng through his sunglasses, as he replied, “they are your legs, and can take you anywhere you want.”

The young man, who had little experience in matters concerning the heart, was again flushed with impatience. He cried: “Uncle Chen! That’s not what I mean! And you know it!”

“All right, all right. Am I that daft?” Chen An stretched out his hand and mussed the young man’s hair, “I know what you mean. The Boy of Justice found himself attracted to the evil Old Fox, right? Consider yourself warned; I’m not a generous and forgiving man. You can like me all you want, but if I catch you with someone else at the same time, there will be slaps!”
