"Yes, yes, come in. Wen Kexing, welcome. Please, our home is yours." She grasped his hand and drew him into the pleasant living room. "Here," she directed, "this chair is very comfortable." She picked up a fluffy little dog, kissed him and set him aside. "Sit, please. Let me make you some tea. Have you boys eaten? Let us make you something delicious."

"Shushu often surprises us like this. We love our little outings. You never know with him, what he will think of next. Such a fun person." Wen grinned and assisted her into the car.

Obviously, especially to them, he possessed a special friend, someone he cared about deeply. And they cheered him on.
