Long Xia had finished her workout with Shao Lin before escorting her sister-in-law back to her apartment. She then showered when she received a message from her brother: be here in 15 minutes.
She called him. He picked up.
"Don't I need to keep watch of your wife?" she questioned.
"Kun is on his way, he'll take over, but I need you here."
"Why?"
Long Yat-sen hesitated to answer until he said, "Bojing is making a scene."
"And he's my responsibility because?" she retorted.
"He's your partner," Long Yat-sen reminded her.
"He's nothing to me."
"I know that's not true," her brother said.
Long Xia paused. "Even if I were to go there, why would he listen to me? I would only make one of his moods worse."
"Good," he replied, "Because that's what I need. It's a distraction. He won't listen to anyone else."
"My efforts will be in vain," she told him. "But I'll be there in 10 minutes."
