When Lu Lijun sat in the car, the two men felt their hearts pounding faster not knowing how Lu Lijun recognized them and what he will do now. Both were wearing casual clothes of western style, T-shirt, Jeans, and a jacket, instead of their regular black suits.
"Camera."
Just a single word they heard and the man sitting on the front passenger seat looked at his friend sitting in the driver seat. Both had no option but to listen to Lu Lijun and handed over the camera to him. Who could dare to disobey their future master?
Lu Lijun went through the camera and saw the pictures inside it. He pulled out the memory card from it.
Crack!!
Both men heard the sound and then knew what it was. Lu Lijun broke the memory card and passed the camera back to the man.
"I don’t want to see anyone of you around me," Saying Lu Lijun stepped out of the car and went back to his own car leaving the two men shocked.
"How did he notice us," one man asked.
"Don’t forget who he is. We underestimate him," said the other man.
"What are we going to answer the boss now?"
"Nothing. Just be ready to get scolded."
--------
Jiang Yuyan got to know what Lu Lijun did but it didn’t affect her.
"Seems like he is upset," Xiao Min commented looking at his boss who was sitting in her office chair.
"Ask them to stay away from him and not get noticed this time," Jiang Yuyan instructed.
"Boss, don’t you think he is angry at you. Before he couldn’t be without you for even an hour but now he didn’t call you or asked about you to anyone."
"Let him be."
Xiao Min felt his boss’s attitude towards Lu Lijun had changed. Not just her but Lu Lijun had changed too and it worried him to think things like this always converts into hating the person.
"It’s been more than a weak since he left and the boss didn’t talk to him. What if he started hating you?"
"Even better," Jiang Yuyan repled as she added, "Stop worrying about him as he is not a baby."

Lu Lijun continued his schooling. As he was a foreign student for others so it took him time to make friends. Although, it was a different thing that he didn’t want to make any friend wished others to leave him alone.
Fortunately, there was a chines boy in his class so who approached him continuously to know Lu Lijun better and to be his friend even though Lu Lijun avoided him so many times.
"Why do you always avoid me?" the boy asked while standing near Lu Lijun’s desk and chair. The way he talked it was clear that he was trying hard to speak in Chines while mixing it with English that he could speak better.
"Ohh! You can speak English. I thought you are new so....."
"You can go back to your place," Lu Lijun interrupted him as the teacher entered the classroom.
"I will talk to you after class." Saying the boy ran towards his place as he missed hearing Lu Lijun what he said, "No need."
Once the school was over, the boy followed him.
"I told you I don’t need friends," Lu Lijun declared as he stepped to go towards the gate of the school to get into his car.
"But I wish to be a friend with you. My name is Noah." Saying the boy put forward his hand.
Lu Lijun looked at his hand and then to his face. The boy spoke up again, "My name is western because my mother likes the western names but I am from China too."
Not saying a word, Lu Lijun continued walking and the boy called Noah followed him again. Lu Lijun frowned, "Why are you following me?"
It startled the boy and he said in a sad voice, "I-I am not following you. My car is there." He pointed out towards the car which was parked just beside Lu Lijun’s car.
Lu Lijun felt bad that he raised his voice. He cleared his throat, "I am sorry."
Suddenly the boy’s face brightened up and he exclaimed with excitement, "So, will you be my friend?"
Lu Lijun didn’t want to upset him and nodded. Lu Lijun was surprised why that boy was so adamant about making him a friend and noticed he didn’t see him talking to any other students in his class.
Finally, there was someone who could annoy Lu Lijun as he got a new friend, Noah.

After being with Lu Lijun for a week and making sure he was adjusted to everything, Xiao Dong went back to China by leaving his responsibility at Jerome and Martha.
In the night Lu Lijun used to stare at the scarf hanging to windchime and couldn’t help but miss certain someone. He was trying his best to be calm but few things coming into his mind broke the peace in his life.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he could only hear the things that Lu Feng and Lu Han talked about that could only fill his heart with hatred which he was trying really hard to suppress.
Just a single call or message from Jiang Yuyan could have calmed him down but unknown to his condition Jiang Yuayn never contacted him. She didn’t know through what condition his mind was going through and never did he shared anything to anyone.
One day when Lu Lijun came back from the school, he asked the driver to stop the car outside of the gate of the bungalow. The driver did so and Lu Lijun stepped out of it.
"I will be back soon. No need to follow me," Lu Lijun instructed the driver and left to go somewhere.
Lu Lijun continued walking alone on the road which had rows of beautiful trees and the gates of the different bungalows along the way. It was not the straight road but the one which had too many slops that could tire the person just by walking at a certain distance.
Just as Lu Lijun crossed a certain distance, one man followed him being careful that Lu Lijun won’t notice him but to his surprise suddenly Lu Lijun disappeared from his sight and the man started to look for him here and there.
