"That's good," Lu An leaned over and brought his lips to hers. "I won't hold it against you if you kiss me."
"Quick," Jin Nian replied, "Let's get you your ring. What kind of ring do you want? I'll buy whichever catches your fancy."
Without waiting for a response, Jin Nian unlocked the door to Lu An's white jeep and pushed him into the car. However, Jin Nian realized she had no idea how to start Lu An's jeep. She was so used to driving her mini-electric car that operating a jeep was beyond her capabilities. Jin Nian tried getting Lu An to teach her, but he was unwilling to cooperate. "I drank too much," he said, "I can't... hic... remember anything."
"I take it you don't want that ring anyone, then?"
"I want a kiss. I want you to kiss me right now."
Jin Nian could not take it anymore. "If murder weren't illegal, I'd have thrown you into the river and let you drown!"
