Love me if you dare( 他来了，请闭眼)

Layers of dark purple curtains lined the window, there were large velvet couches with curved backrest. At the corner of the house, Jian Yao saw a fireplace with logs in it. This felt very much like a typical European styled cottage. At the side of the house, a deep brown wooden staircase led up to the second floor which was really quiet as though there wasn't anyone there.

The only thing that felt out of place in this cottage was the metal railings that were fitted on the windows, not allowing much sunrays to come into the house. With his sleeves rolled up, the man washed his hands before handing a cup of tea to Jian Yao and gestured for her to sit down. When he sat down opposite her, Jian Yao caught a very faint but familiar scent from him. A scent which Jian Yao couldn't quite remember where she had smell it before.

The man gave Jian Yao a friendly smile, "I am Fu Zi Yu and the owner of this place is called Bao Jin Yan. We are currently looking for a translator to translate his English documents into Chinese."

Jian Yao nodded, wondering if the owner was related to the previous owner of the house or maybe he was a new owner.

Zi Yu took out a stack of papers and a pen, handing it over to Jian Yao. "So, let's not waste any more time and start the test to see if you are qualified for this job. Within half an hour, please translate all the English articles here."

Jian Yao flipped through the articles before looking up, "Is there a computer here?"

Zi Yu shook his head and a helpless smile appeared on his face. "Jin Yan likes things to be handwritten."

"No problem," Jian Yao picked up the pen and papers and started to work her way through the articles. Zi Yu got up quietly and headed to the sink to wash his hands again before leaning against one of the windows, sipping his tea quietly.

"The victim had been sexually assaulted and there were signs that the victim's hands had been tied together. There were also multiple wounds on her lower body - " Jian Yao was a bit surprised by the content and paused in her translation. She looked up at Zi Yu who was impervious.

As Jian Yao had experience in translating such things in the past - except that it was not as gruesome as this, she got over her surprise rather swiftly. She got back to translating the article until she came across a word that she did not know. Briefly looking through the whole article, Jian Yao encountered quite a number of words that were rather uncommon. "Do you have a dictionary specialised in this field of work?"

Zi Yu pointed to the bookshelf at the side, "Feel free to use any one of them."

Jian Yao managed to find what she was looking for and she buried herself in translating the article again.

"Sexhanges - , Parentiside - ......" It was not a surprise that she did not know such words as she continued looking through the dictionaries.

After she managed to translate everything, Jian Yao checked it thoroughly once more. Zi Yu looked at his watch and was rather surprised when he saw that only 25 minutes had passed since the start of the test. "I will be back in a bit after I hand this over to Jin Yan."

After saying that, Zi Yu headed up to the second floor. Jian Yao simply sat the couch and waited for Zi Yu. He was back in a short while and he went to the sink to wash his hands once more before drying it on his handkerchief. "He is looking through it now."

"Okay," Jian Yao nodded.

With nothing much to do, Zi Yu started to strike up a conversation with Jian Yao. "Are you studying at a University in B City?"

"Yes, I am graduating next year." Jian Yao answered.

Zi Yu inclined his head slightly, "I see. We have been talking for quite a while, do you want to guess which profession I am in?"

The man in front of Jian Yao looked to be older than her by a few years and he was a very courteous person. Jian Yao had a good first impression of him. "Are you a doctor?"

Zi Yu's smile got deeper, "How did you know?"

Jian Yao was rather pleased that she managed to guess correctly, her gaze landed on Zi Yu's slender fingers. "It was just a lucky guess, since I saw you washing your hands a number of times which means that you are a person who placed great emphasize on cleanliness. I also smell a very faint disinfectant scent coming from you and your fingers... It looked rather doctor-ish."

"I guess I will take those as compliments then," Zi Yu replied. They continued chatting about other things when the conversation somehow steered back to Bao Jin Yan. At the mention of him, Zi Yu sighed. "I am leaving here in a few days, but I am worried about Jin Yan. To be honest, he is a fairly withdrawn person."

Listening to him talking about Jin Yan, Jian Yao simply gave him a polite smile with no questions asked.

Zi Yu sneaked a glance at her before continuing, "Even though he has been back for quite a while, he still didn't have any friends. I bet you don't even know when he got back here."

Jian Yao's smile remains unchanged, looking as though she had no intention of continuing the topic. However, she saw Zi Yu looking at her intently as if he was waiting for her answer. Although Jian Yao felt quite weird, she replied him nonetheless. "He came back last year, right?"

"How did you know?" Zi Yu asked.

"I passed by here last year during my holidays and I didn't see any creeper. But when I entered the house just now, I saw that the creeper was about four to five meters tall. My house's creeper grow about that much in a year."

Unexpectedly, they had chatted with each other for half an hour. Zi Yu looked at his watch with a smile on his face. "It is rather late now, why don't you head home first? I will call you later when we come to a decision."

Jian Yao nodded.

"Thank you for coming today, if he decided to hire you, there will be a contract drawn up. You will be required to work here for twenty days straight and all translation works had to be done on the spot. Also all the information have to remain confidential, so you can't bring home any of it." Zi Yu informed her as he walked her to the door. "Jin Yan is currently recuperating so without any permission, you are not allowed to head up to the second floor. Regarding other details, we will discuss it when we sign the contract."
