The four men sat at the rectangular table in a corner, eating their dinner in silence.
Two single-bed rooms were available for these four gentlemen to use, and one of them was homosexual.
The situation could not be more uncomfortable for Shen Jingwei.
Even after they finished their dessert, they were unable to decide the rooming arrangement.
At last, Shen Jingwei, unable to endure the suffocating atmosphere, rose to his feet.
"What about I just take the key to one room," he suggested. "It doesn't matter much to me who my roommate will be. Please know that I shall conduct myself accordingly throughout the night."
They all cleared their throats in discomfort.
Shen Jingwei took the key to one room and went upstairs without losing further word.
The room was relatively small. It was cramped with one single bed, a small immovable wardrobe, an end table, a small desk, and a small chair.
