In their second year of marriage, Jian Yao got her wish . She received a letter of admission for her doctoral degree at the Department of Psychology in University of Maryland .
Bo Jinyan decides to accompany her to the US . He will be working in the University as a professor .
Jian Yao hesitates as they discuss about the issue: “Are you sure you want to come? I will fly back every holiday, and you can come and visit me during term time . ” As Bo Jinyan is a consultant for the Ministry of Public Security, he won’t be able to help the FBI with their investigations . She knows her husband well . He will find a pure academic role very boring .
Bo Jinyan looks at her: “Have you forgotten the agreement we made when I proposed?”
Jian Yao can’t remember what he said . She shakes her head: “… . agreement?”
Bo Jinyan bends down and gives her a peck on her cheeks, then he says proudly: ”I will love you with all my wisdom, and with all that is in me . And I will continue to love you for the rest of my life . ”
- I want to be with you everyday . Even if we are apart for one day, I can’t bear it . How can we be separated for at least six months a year for a few years?
Jian Yao is touched by his sweet words . She lifts her sparkly eyes and asks him: “What is the first half of the first sentence you said?”
Bo Jinyan knows what she wants to hear . He says in a soft sexy voice: “I love you . ”
After a passionate kiss, Jian Yao asks him: “But what about your work with the Ministry of Public Security?”
Bo Jinyan says: “My apprentice will cover for me . ”
The apprentice he recently acquired is an officer from Lin City . Her name is Xu Xu .
(Note from TB: For those who has read “When I snail loves”, you will recognise this name . She is female lead for the novel . ”)
Jian Yao has a query: “Ok . But would her husband be ok with the arrangement? He works in Beijing!”
Bo Jinyan looks surprised: “That’s not my problem . They can sort it out . ”

Maryland University .
It was a bright sunny day in August . The sky was painted a bright blue and the shiny green grass glistened in the sun .
Jian Yao is sitting on the first row of the lecture theatre . She is leaning forward, with her hand under her chin . She is admiring her husband, who is standing behind the podium, teaching the class . He speaks fluent English .
This is her most favourite class . She can observe if his tie is straight, and whether the colour of his shirt match the rest of his outfit . Then, when he turns around to write something on the blackboard, she thinks to herself… oh, even the sight of his back is so handsome .
Professor Bo Jinyan though, is not as relaxed . He’s already heard a few comments from some of the ‘boys with testosterones overload’:
“Have you noticed that Chinese girl? She is so cute . ”
“Oh, and sexy too . ”
“I will be the first guy to go on a date with her . ”
…… . .
Jian Yao and Bo Jinyan have made an agreement not to disclose their relationship to others in the University . She doesn’t want other students to look at her differently .
Naturally, Bo Jinyan is not happy with those boys . If he can have his way, he will kick them out of his class . But that is professionally an unacceptable option . So, the only thing he can do is to endure .
But everything has a limit .
One day, when Bo Jinyan is waiting in his car for his wife to go for lunch with him, he sees a tall boy with blond hair walking beside Jian Yao . He is the one who claimed that he will be ‘the first guy to go on a date with her . ”
Bo Jinyan looks coldly at him . He gets out of the car .
The boy’s name is Sam . Although he is quite cute and have a sense of humour, Jian Yao finds him rather annoying . He’s been pestering her for a while . She has told him on more than one occasion that she is married, but he doesn't believe her .
“You are married?” He says: “Surely it’s a joke . You are in your early twenties, right? No one gets married this young nowadays . ”
At this moment, Bo Jinyan walks up to them .
He is a man that attracts attention wherever he goes . All the students nearby look at him as he stands in front of Sam .
Sam is surprised too: “Professor Bo, how are you!”
Jian Yao is stunned to see him too . Bo Jinyan gives a small smile and replies to Sam: “I am well . What are you doing?”
Sam can’t believe the usually aloof professor is conversing with him: “I am planning to have lunch with Jenny . What about you?”
Bo Jinyan nods and says: “I am planning to have lunch with my wife . ”
Jian Yao puts her hand over her face . That’s it! He is obvious not happy . Her initial plan was to walk away quietly, but Bo Jinyan’s sentence has stirred up everyone’s curiosity . More students, and even a few teachers gathers around them .
“Professor Bo is married? Congratulations!”
“Is Professor Bo’s wife a Chinese too?”
“She must be very pretty . ”
“Will we have a chance to meet her?”
…… .
Bo Jinyan can’t be bothered to answer all the questions, he just says a simple ‘Thank you” after the last question .
Jian Yao wants to dig a hole and hide inside . Then she sees his hand reaching out towards her .
Suddenly, everyone is quiet .
She lifts her head, and sees Bo Jinyan looking at her: “Let go for lunch . ”
Jian Yao: “… . . Sure . ”
Bo Jinyan gives Sam a glance: “Looks like my wife prefers to have lunch with me . ”
Sam: “Oh… . ”
Then Bo Jinyan holds Jian Yao’s hand and walks off .
Suddenly, it dawned on them that this Chinese beauty is Professor Bo’s wife!
Sam’s body stiffens: “So… I tried to ask his wife out on a date?”
And Professor Bo has a nickname - the cold blooded devil! But at the end of the year, Sam is relieved that he received a A on the paper taught by Professor Bo . But… is it his imagination? Every time Professor Bo looks at him, the gaze is so icy cold that he feels like he is in Alaska…

Americans like parties .
Bo Jinyan is not keen to attend these functions . Most of the time, he will decline the invitations - ‘I can’t dance . ”, or “I am not not interested . ”Therefore the whole university knows he almost never attend any parties .
“Well, he might be a genius, but he can’t dance . ” That’s the view of most people .
However, since Jian Yao has come to the US, this has changed .
Because she has an easy going and amiable personality, plus everyone now knows she is wife of Professor Bo, she has a lot of friends . And naturally, a lot of invitations to parties .
The night of the first party she went to .
She asks him again: “Are you sure you don’t want to come? The invitation is for Mr . and Mrs . Bo . ”
“No . ”
“Alright, then . ” she goes into the room to get ready for the party .
Half an hour later, she stands in front of the mirror in her curve accentuating sleeveless sapphire blue dress . She is putting on her earrings . Suddenly, she feels the warmth of a hand touching her soft and smooth shoulders .
“Are you sure you don’t want to come?” She winks at Bo Jinyan .
“Well, since you want me to be there, I’ll go . ” He’s changed his mind .
“Ok . ” She turns around, wraps her hands around his neck and gives him a kiss .
Ha ha… . She has successfully seduced him .
A lively party .
The tall and handsome professor in a black suit attracts a lot of attention .
Jian Yao is chatting to a few ladies in one end of the room . She notices in the corner of her eyes that a few ladies attempted to invite Bo Jinyan to dance with them .
“Can you dance with me, Professor Bo?”
Even though Bo Jinyan is usually arrogant and rude, he is still a gentleman . He tries not to hurt their feelings, so he simply answers: “Sorry, I don’t know how to dance . Goodbye . ”
After he’s declined several invitations, Jian Yao walks over to him and whispers quietly in his ear: “I can teach you…”
Bo Jinyan takes a glance at her, but he didn’t say anything .
Jian Yao takes it as he doesn't want to learn .
A few minutes later, someone invites Jian Yao to dance . It’s another lecturer from their school of criminal psychology . He is a warm and nice man . Jian Yao has a good impression of him . She smiles . And before Bo Jinyan has time to object, she lifts her hand to hold the lecturer’s hand and they walk out to the dance floor .
Bo Jinyan sits in the sofa with a glass of red wine . He uncomfortably watches his wife dance with someone else .
A few minutes later, he puts down his wine glass and walks to the dance floor . The music for the song has come to an end . The lecturer is about to ask Jian Yao if she wants another dance when Bo Jinyan reaches out his hand and ask: “May I?”
Jian Yao turns around and see her husband standing with a smile . He bows like a gentleman and waits for her answer .
“… . Sure . ” she replies .
Nobody there has seen Bo Jinyan dance before . The crowd awaits .
Other couples leaves the dance floor . Jian Yao looks around . They are the only two people there!
The music starts . It’s music for tango .
The cold blooded devil knows how to tango?
Under the chandelier, he holds Jian Yao’s hand and leads the dance . Jian Yao is stunned . She never knew Bo Jinyan is such a good dancer . He’s an expert on this sensual, romantic and elegant dance .
Everyone is amazed . When they have finished the dance, the whole room applauds .
Jian Yao is in his arms: “I thought you don’t know how to dance . But you are an amazing dancer . ”
Bo Jinyan is pleased with his wife’s praise . He smiles: “What makes you think I can’t master such a simple thing like dancing?”
“Then why didn’t you dance earlier?” Jian Yao asks .
“Don’t you think it’s a pathetic activity?” He answers .
“Well… . ” She looks at him with a proud smile: “Do you want to stop now? I will do whatever you say . ” At the same time, she takes a small step forward so there is even less space between them .
Bo Jinyan does not answer . But he does not want to let go of his beautiful and sexy wife .
Since Jian Yao didn’t hear an answer from him, she assumes he wants to stop . She steps back to turn around but his hand around her waist draws her back into his arms .
“Yes, I still want to dance . ” He answers .
Jian Yao gives a small laugh .
- Pathetic? Mmm… It’s the second time in one day that he’s made an exception for her . She feels a sense of accomplishment .
But the following morning, she questions herself whether she has done the ‘right’ thing . Even bone in her body feels sore . They had a vigorous session after the party last night…
She is so tired that she just wants to lie in bed all day . Bo Jinyan, on the other hand, feels very satisfied and smiles to his wife: “In the future, I will try my best to make time to go to parties with you . ”
“Why?”
“Don’t you think we had fun last night?”
“… . . ”
Ms Jian Yao, you should be careful if you tease a man who’s only lost his virginity when he’s twenty six years old . The consequences may be beyond what you expect .
