"A fleeting affair, no talk of tomorrow."
Chen Miao is twenty-eight this year. Her career is flourishing, but her love life is going nowhere.
Her friends urge her to hurry up.
She answers lazily, her pretty, foxlike eyes meeting those of a college boy in the booth next door. A few minutes later, two figures fall one after the other into a soft, white bed.
The light flickers. The man beneath her gazes up at her with damp eyes. "My name is..."
Chen Miao smiles and presses her index finger to his lips, stopping him.
Shh. It doesn't matter.
Her friends think the college boy is Chen Miao's happily ever after. But a week later, one of them sees Chen Miao coming and going from a villa community with a man who often appears in financial magazines.
With a cigarette between her fingers, Chen Miao lowers her head and takes a drag, then looks up and slowly leans in to kiss the corner of the man's mouth.
They kiss beneath the dim streetlights.
Chen Miao doesn't let the man inside.
At least this one seems like a good match. Her friend approves of the financial hotshot and waits for good news, only to receive a text from Chen Miao.
Come over and hang out. I'll introduce you to my boyfriend.
The graceful figure she expects doesn't appear. Instead, a quiet-looking man answers the door, bare-chested, with a faint floral scent about him.
A moment later, Chen Miao appears behind him. Her pale hand winds around his lean waist. "Come in and sit down."
-
On a sunny afternoon, three men meet and argue over who Chen Miao loves most.
Their bickering gives Chen Miao a headache.
She stubs out her cigarette in her red wine and glances at them. "We've only slept together a few times. It's not like we promised to spend our lives together. If you're going to argue, get out and do it elsewhere."
The three men fall silent in perfect unison.
Chen Miao raises her red lips in a smile. "That's more like it."
