"There is no video," came the reply from Lijun that surprised the two boys.
"What!" Noah exclaimed while Jake, who was standing a bit away from them, finally looked at Lu Lijun.
Seeing two surprised and questioning gazes on him, Lu Lijun spoke.
"I am not the one who will stand away and record the video when my friends are about to get beaten."
Both understood what Lu Lijun meant. When Lu Lijun arrived there, he immediately understood the scenario and disturbed them without waiting for a moment, not willing to see his friends getting hurt.
"You are too good." Exclaiming, Noah hugged Lu Lijun while Jake smiled slightly.
"Don't cling on to me," Lu Lijun backed away to get out from Noah's hold.
Noah didn't mind it and spoke, "Do you know, Lijun?"
"What?" Lu Lijun asked, and Jake too waited for what Noah would say.
"You called us your friends for the first time and from your heart," replied Noah.
"Cough! That…."
"No need to be embarrassed. I know we three can be best friends. My intuitions are never wrong," Noah declared as he looked at Jake, "Will you still won't say anything?"
"What's there to say?" Jake asked as he gave Noah a narrowed eyes look.
"Haven't you learned those golden words when you were in primary school?" asked Noah as Jake looked at him questioningly while L,u Lijun knew what Noah was talking about and found it funny.
"The golden words like Sorry and Thank you," Noah replied.
"Cough!" Noah turned embarrassed.
"Once you finish coughing, you can say one of those golden words to Lijun. If possible say both," Noah ordered.
"No need," said Lu Lijun as he turned to leave.
"Lijun!" called the blond guy, Jake.
Lu Lijun stopped but didn't turn.
"Thank you for today!" said Jake.
"Hmm!" Lu Lijun stepped forward but had to stop again.
"I think we should listen to Noah," Jake suggested, and Noah was shocked.
"Are you fine, Jake?" Noah teased already embarrassed Jake.
Jake ignored him while Lu Lijun turned and stepped towards Jake as he put forward his hand.
Jake immediately shook his hand as both smiled slightly.
Lu Lijun didn't want Jake to say anything further as he already understood what he was trying to say. Lu Lijun could relate himself with Jake as both were stubborn, and he knew how difficult sometimes it was to admit which they didn't want to.
Since that day, these three had been friends and seen together everywhere.

Jiang Yuyan woke up the next morning and was surprised to see she was in the secret mansion. She understood Xiao Min must have brought her here. Getting freshen up, she went downstairs, where three men were waiting for her.
"Good morning, boss," said the three in sync.
"Hmm! I am starving," informed Jiang Yuyan as she strode towards the dining room.
When they all sat around the dining table, Xiao Min spoke, "Boss,"
"Hmm!"
"Last night, boss was sleeping and was under the influence of drugs, so I have to carry…."
"Sorry to trouble you, Xiao Min. I hope I was not that heavy, and you are fine," came the reply from the boss, and the other three didn't know how to reply to her.
This conversation stopped there, and San Zemin asked worriedly, "Boss, is there any order for me?"
"Nothing, everything is fine now," she replied as her sight fell on the food being carried towards the dining table.
She was calm and was talking so casually after so long that it made others feel relieved.

Lu Lian was in Lu Bao's room when Lu Bao showed her something.
"This I brought back from our village home after my mother threw it outside," said Lu Bao.
Lu Lian's eyes left wide open, "I totally forgot about it."
"Hmm! I think we should return it as he helped us that day," Lu Bao suggested. "See, even the wallet is here, and all the cards are here too. See this black card."
"So many months passed by. I don't think now he needs these cards. He must have gotten new things for him," Lu Lian replied as she was not concerned about it.
"Still, it's our job to give it back. I wonder what he must think about us knowing we have his wallet but didn't return it," said Lu Bao.
Lu Lian took the wallet from her and looked inside if something needed to returned other than cards. If it were about the cards, she wouldn't bother to return it.
Suddenly a smile painted on Lu Lian's lips, and Lu Bao asked, "What's this?"
As expected by Li Lian, there was an old picture inside the wallet. A kid around the age of five sat on the elder Man's lap in the chair as both smiled at the camera. The Boy looked so cute while smiling ear to ear, and one could see how happy he was while sitting with the Man and the Man looked delighted too.
"Isn't it grandpa Ming?" Lu Bao asked.
"Hmm!"
"And this cute little boy, is he brother Rusheng?"
"Looks like it," Lu Lian replied as she was still smiling, looking at the cute picture.
"I can't believe he was so cute as a kid. If you look at him now, it can make one shiver," Lu Bao commented.
"Just like our brother," Lu Lian countered.
"Hmm, true. Then, we can't deny that just like our brothers, brother Rusheng is handsome too."
"That I don't know, but we need to give this back to him," Lu Lian suggested.
"A while ago, you said there was no need as he must have remade his cards and now…"
"I don't care about those cards," Lu Lian interrupted her.
"Then"
"This picture must be the most treasured memory of him; that's why it's in his wallet even though it's an old pic. Such memories are always more precious for the person than the money," Lu Lian explained.
"True. How are we going to give it back? If my mother knows it, she might kill me," said Lu Bao.
"Hmm! Don't worry. I will do it." Lu Lian packed the jacket and the wallet back in the bag and stood up to go back to her room as she carried the bag.
"How are you going to do it?" Lu Bao asked.
"I will think about it," said Lu Lian as she stepped out of the room.
