Our Secret

The Professor

The warm spring sun just passed through the glass window and hit on the face of our hero. He opens his foxfire eyes and shut it immediately. Such a wonderful night. Don't take it pervertedly. Though our hero can sleep anytime, anywhere and everywhere, for him having a sound sleep is one of the most precious things since a very young age! He doesn't want to sleep more. So why did he shut his eyes? He waits for something, something sweet and lovely. He waits for his mother. At that very moment, Mrs. Zhao comes and settled beside him.

"Lanlan, I know you are not sleeping."

"Mom" The sound came like a whining.

"You little brat, just get up."

"Where are you going?" Our hero says in a boyish tone.

"Come and have your breakfast." His mom shouts from the door and vanishes through the hall.

Yunlan, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, three of them are sitting at the dining table. "Why not you stay here with us, Lanlan?" Now Mrs. Zhao whining. "He is a big boy now. He needed his own space." says Mr. Zhao still looking at the newspaper. "See... mom" Yunlan only pouts. Suddenly two cell phones start ringing at the same time. Yunlan looks at the phone. The caller ID is 'Fatty' pop up on the screen. It is Da Qing, the deputy chief of SID (Special Investigation Department).

Don't imagine a fat figure. Da Qing is not fat at all. He is actually very cute. If you saw him, he gives you an impression of a 1st year university student. Who first called him 'fatty'? Why he was being called 'fatty'? From when he was called 'fatty'? We don't know. But now his nickname is 'fatty'.

Yunlan received the call and answered "Hey fatty". He can't continue "Chief, it's an emergency. We need you. Can you please come to Dragon City University? We found a dead body." The connection is being cut. He drinks the water, Kiss his mom on her cheek and get out with his car key in one minute.

Wait, wait, and wait. Yes, our hero is the chief of SID and yes, he is only 31! With his gangster-like haircut, his street fighter like dress up, he is the chief of one of the most powerful government organizations. A special branch under China's public security department make with some weird people. They don't only investigate, they do everything. If you heard some big fish caught by SID please don't be astonished. Or one morning you saw the SID team to make a little girl go to school don't take it lightly. They literally do everything, and only report to a higher authority. Every time they go for investigation, the notice was always been issued from the by authorities. They are authorized to command the other department who is responsible for public security and nobody could object.

But who called Mr. Zhao and what's the matter, we don't know yet.

Yunlan came to the University Street and jumped off his car. He was about to enter through the main gate of the Dragon City University and bumped into a young girl. The girl may be a new student of the University. The girl immediately apologized to Yunlan with a sincere "sorry".

"It's OK, it's OK. Are you a student here? What's your name, young lady?"

"My name is Ming Hua" The girl replied with a shy smile.

"Wonderful name! If I ain't extremely busy I must have a cup of coffee with you." He paused then added "Do you know? Your eyes are beautiful. They can capture any heart in no minute!"

He bided farewell to the girl, even without telling his magnificent name. No, Zhao Yunlan was not a playboy, maybe once he had been.But definitely a playboy type. He like to flirt with everyone. There wasn't any chance that he missed in his not so long lifetime.

It was late spring, the temperature was getting more temperate. The morning sun and the rows of aged trees on both sides of the road cased a beautiful show of light and shadow on the pitch paved road. In some way this made Yunlan's nerve calm, brought a type of joy that he never experienced before. As he went inside the campus, he saw colors. Each and every corner were colored by nature. Grasses were deep green and flowers were gorgeous. In the city, there were a lack of color in nature during spring. You could feel it only by the temperature change. But here Yunlan could see the spring,  smell it, hear it, could feel the spring. It is a time of happiness and joy, love and rejuvenation. It made his heart lonely, curving for a long lost friend. After all it is spring.
