the 26th - the 27th of January
The weather was extremely changeable for the end of January, but time was flowing slowly, and it seemed to Jiang Cheng as if everything and everyone moved slowly, too: heavily, lazily, out of time, despite time.
Wen Ning had settled a little after meeting with Brent personally – the huge young blonde really inspired awe and a sense of security in most people. Moreover, Mister Jiang hadn't changed at all, he was still his grumpy self.
- So... I hear you will be leaving soon, sir? – he asked hesitantly on Tuesday evening, coming to work a little early again.
- Yea... The Boss knows all about it. – Jiang Cheng huffed apathetically. – I think Bobby is the one to suffer the most because of it – I hear he will be the one to do the job interviews for a new bartender?
Wen Ning was watching him carefully, noticing his playful smirk now.
- I dunno about that. But I know I will be missing you, sir. I hope you and Mister Lan would be visiting still? – he tilted his head to the side. – Maybe even Miss Jiang? After she has had her baby?
- Ugh... - Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes. – I won't be missing this place! I have been working here out of obligation, trust me! Not for fun! And my crazy sis... Uhh... No guarantees! I still can't believe she decided to keep that stupid baby! – he scoffed, crossing his arms in front of his chest. – She is absolutely unfit to be a mom! And A-Xuan?! His life is in danger every damn day! How...
He stopped himself from ranting on because he noticed A-Ning's sincere frown.
- I think all life is precious, sir. – he reiterated for the millionth time. – All life must be preserved. All of it!
- Yea, that's very Zen of you, boy! – Jiang Wanyin blushed a little, remembering his own body count. – Too bad, it's too impossible in real life! Ha!

Jiang Cheng had a similar conversation with Bobby Chan too, but his colleague rather preferred the frivolous tone, and the jokes.
- Ayyy, A-Cheng! So what now??? Are you guys gonna get married soon?
He blushed intensely. He really didn't know.
- And? The honeymoon? Ahh, you must send me photos! Is it gonna be the Maldives? The Caribbean? Or Africa?! Or Alaska? Greenland?! Paris?!?! Tell me!!! You are the most interesting thing in my life right now, A-Cheng! – he pouted a little.
- Why? – Jiang Cheng smirked a little. – I thought things with your wife are going... well?
- Ugh! – Bobby grunted. – I think she is cheating on me! The bitch! – he hissed. – I'm telling you! This kind of working hours has been killing me for years now! My pretty little wife seems to be bored, all alone at home!
