A couple of weeks passed and Li Qian behaved as though nothing happened. No one ever suspected that she already began scheming and was ready to execute her plan.
One morning, Yi walked into Fung’s room and dropped his breakfast after seeing him in bed with Li Qian. The shattered dishes woke up the two and also brought the Li couple into Fung’s room. Yeung Yi finally recovered from her shock and brushed past the Li couple as she ran out of Fung’s room.
Fung also overcame his shock and when he saw Yi depart from his room, his heart sank. He quickly put his clothes on and also bolted out of his room; unfortunately, his teacher blocked his way. Li Lian Jie was evidently upset. Which father could possibly stay calm after witnessing his unmarried daughter lying naked in bed with a man? “Lam Fung, what did you do?”
Fung was torn between explaining the situation to his teacher and chasing after Yi. “Teacher, please let me find Sister Yeung first and everything will be cleared up.”
“You better take responsibility for what happened.” Mr. Li was unrelenting; he would not allow Fung to pass unless Fung agreed.
“Teacher, I don’t know what happened!” Fung looked at Qian with disappointment and anger before he faced his teacher, “Why don’t you ask Junior Sister? In the meantime, I need to find Sister Yeung.”
Not wishing to waste more time, Fung maneuvered his way past Mr. Li and went out to look for Yi. He found her sitting along the shore staring out into the vast empty ocean, and he slowly approached her.
“Yi.”
She would not turn around.
How could he explain what happened to her when he himself did not know the full story? He forced her to turn around and saw her sobbing.
She looked at him and waited for him to speak, to reveal the truth, to deny everything. She believed that he was innocent, for she knew that he only had her in his heart. Hence, she was willing to hear his side of the story.
Fung was earnest, but as confused about the situation as he was, he knew he only had this opportunity to tell Yeung Yi everything before she misunderstood the situation even more.
“Yi, I don’t know what happened. Last night Junior Sister came over to my room in tears.” He told her as much as he could without making her feel terribly uncomfortable.
Li Qian showed up at Fung’s room the previous night, for she did not understand why Fung could not return her affection. Hadn’t they been happy together before Yeung Yi came to the island? Couldn’t Fung recall all those moments when Qian and he protected each other when they got in trouble with Mr. and Mrs. Li? What exactly changed after Yi entered their lives? Fung tried to explain to Qian that he only thought of her as a sister and it wasn’t until he met Yi that he learned how inappropriate his interaction with Qian was and how his behavior could be misconstrued as something more than sibling affection. After several hours of crying, Qian calmed down and promised that she would retreat from the triangle as long as Fung agreed to remain friends with her and on the condition that he drank with her. So she left his room and came back with a calabash of wine. Fung did not remember drinking much; at most, he drank one cup of wine before he passed out. So he was just as shocked as Yeung Yi was when he woke up that morning, naked and in the same bed as Li Qian.
Yi listened to his story in complete silence. She had already fully forgiven him but she did not know what to expect. She could only ask him, “What do you plan to do next?”
Fung sat down as he felt the burden of the situation on him, “I don’t know. Teacher wants me to take responsibility, but I can’t. I don’t love Qian, and I am not sure of what we did last night.”
Yi silently nodded. “I believe you, Brother Lam.”
Fung mustered up a smile. “Thank you.”
They walked back home hand in hand. After they past the maze, they encountered the Li family, and all were extremely upset. Mr. Li attacked Fung while demanding him to take responsibility for ruining his daughter’s reputation. Qian sat in the background crying with her mom by her side trying to comfort her.
Out of respect for his teacher, Fung restrained from counterattacking; however, he knew that the only way to get his teacher to listen was to calm him. So after several more strokes from his teacher, Fung found the chance to immobilize him.
His ordinarily patient teacher was more enraged and spat out, “You bastard. I raised you and in return you raped my daughter while she was drunk?”
Fung and Yi were momentarily dumb-struck by Mr. Li’s outburst. They both turned in Qian’s direction and saw her avoiding their gaze. Fung calmly stated, “Nothing happened between us.”
Mrs. Li finally stood up and said, “Fung, do not patronize us. We are not blind. How else can you explain what we saw this morning?”
Yi walked over and stood next to Fung to show her support.
“After walking back from the beach, the situation began to make more sense to me. I did not do anything to offend Junior Sister last night. I only had one drink and fell asleep before I could do anything to her.”
Mr. Li spat out, “What are you implying, Lam Fung?”
Fung looked at his teacher, “Teacher, you’ve raised me since young and you know my character by this point. I would never try to taint your family’s reputation and have never hurt anyone in the family. And why would I hurt Junior Sister when I have always loved her like a sister? And why would I offend her when I am in love with Sister Yeung?”
Mrs. Li asked, “What did you just say?”
Fung reached his hand out to grab Yi’s hand, “I would never do anything to hurt Yi; therefore, I would never offend any woman, especially Junior Sister.”
Qian stood up abruptly and screamed, “You’re lying! Dad, Mom, don’t believe a word he says.” She cried louder and wailed, “Senior Brother, how can you ruin my life like this? Who will want to marry me now?” She ran up to him and slapped him before she fainted.
