When Li Du opened his bleary eyes, he expected to see Sophie. Instead, he saw a man standing at the window with his to him.
The sun from the south came through the glass. It was a little harsh for Li Du, who had a hangover.
He covered his eyes and yawned, then asked sleepily, "Eh, where are the people?"
Steve turned around, smiled and said, "Isn't there one here?"
Li Du sat up abruptly and asked, "Why are you here? Where is Sophie? Isn't this my wedding night?"
Steve shook his head and said, "You have dozed off and are now confused. It is not even dark yet, Sophie is accompanying the guests, and there was no one to look after you so, I could just volunteer to do that."
Li Du rubbed his temples, which were aching dully, and laughed. "I am not a baby. Do I need someone to watch me when I sleep?"
Steve sat across from him and said, "Actually, there is something I'd like to talk to you about."
