Inside the private room, He Jian was leaning agains the couch. He had a cigarette in his hands.
Fang Zhihan, Shen Weisheng, and Shi Fengju, the three of them looked at each other and then at the cigarette in He Jian's hands.
He Jian smoked very rarely.
The last time they have seen him smoking was perhaps five years ago when he had come from the countryside after the kidnapping incident.
At that time, it was because no one had been able to find Mo Roulan when she had disappeared suddenly from the place where He Jian had been kidnapped.
He Jian had been worried immensely at that time because there was a possibility that those abductors had taken Mo Roulan away with them.
He had looked for Mo Roulan everywhere. That was perhaps the first time, his friends had seen him caring for someone so much.
