The heatwave in City B has gone on for a few days now.  Even when it's nighttime, the temperature does not go down a degree.

The conference finally ends at 6pm.  YuGong follows Xiao Nai to the office, wanting to tag along for dinner.  After taking a seat on the sofa leisurely, YuGong asks frivolously, "Hey, so you and our department's beauty are just going to live in two different cities?"

Xiao Nai walks behind to his desk, leans over slightly, and starts typing on his keyboard, "Our relationship is not to that degree yet.  It's unjustified. What do you want me to do?"

Would you listen to that?!

Those words!  That tone!

It's finally your turn to be in pain!

YuGong is elated and can't suppress the joyous feeling, but he carefully restrains himself from revealing it.  The fellow in front of him is too smart, and he still owes him a couple hundred bucks.

"Sigh, this is quite depressing." YuGong shows his sympathy.  Just as he is about to say "let us two unfortunate people have dinner together," he sees Xiao Nai shut down his computer and looking like he is about to leave.  YuGong suddenly panics.

"You're leaving so soon today?"

"Mm."

"Where are you going?"

"Getting married and having kids."

At the same time in City W, there is a rainstorm happening.  In the study room of a luxurious house, Wei Wei is tutoring a little boy on a middle school problem.

"Draw a line to connect the corners first, then one here.  Now we can write the equations......and then we can substitute it into the formula......solve it like this......got it?"

The little boy shakes his head almost in tears.  He looks at Wei Wei in confusion.

"Eh, it's okay.  Let's go over it again."

When Wei Wei returned home last week, before she even had spent enough time catching up with her parents, her dad sent her off to tutor his factory's boss's son.  At the same time, her dad dismissed her desire to get a new cell phone, saying that she could buy one after she made enough money from tutoring.

Wei Wei can't help but feel sour in her heart from just thinking about it.  If she knew that this would happen, she wouldn't have given all her scholarship money to them.  Good thing that this kid is not naughty and difficult to teach.

After explaining things in another way, the little boy understands it.  She explains two other questions to him and the rain finally stops.  Wei Wei bids goodbye and leaves.

The sun peeks over the clouds after the rainstorm, but its shining power has been greatly reduced.  The air carries the cool and refreshing scent from after the rain.  In the cool night breeze, Wei Wei rides on her bike wearing a green straw hat.  She passes through the windy streets and hurries home.

There is something very important to do today.

It's almost 7pm after she finishes eating dinner and washing the dishes.  Wei Wei says goodnight to her mom and dad and heads to her bedroom.  She puts on her earphones, opens the computer, and logs into the game.  The Great Master is already online.

Wei Wei adjusts the microphone, "How long have you been online?  It was raining hard today, so I got home late."

Wei Wei is using voice chat.
