Lǐ Xiǎo Yú ( 李小鱼) knew that the day was going to be bad when she accidentally bit her tongue during breakfast with her father. She awoke early and finished packing before looking at her phone which held a text from Yì Lóng that read: 小鱼儿，你去挖掘现场前，到我这儿来。让我们的早餐，制定出我们的分歧。我们要共同努力，让我们的是公务员。(Little fish, before you go to the dig site come to my place. Let's have breakfast, and work out our differences. We have to work together, let's be civil.) She rolled her eyes at his message. There was nothing to be uncivil about since they broke up. She wasn't going to get jealous of him and any other woman because he was no longer her boyfriend and no longer her concern. As far as he was concerned, he was the boss of digging and she was to show people around. It was simple.<br/><br/><br/>She chose not to text him back or go to his place, neither would end well for her. She rather just check into work and start right away. She was more interested in taking a look at the mysterious box that they dug out. It was believed to be older than the treasure that was inside of it. It was rumored to hold illustrious Blood Moon Pearl that held so much power that the holder of it could conquer the world in three days. It was said to have been found by Zhu Yuanzhang while he was on the move with the red Turbans. It was heavens mandate that he discovered the Blood Moon Pearl while he was bathing. No one ever thought that an object so valuable would be discharged and forgotten, but with it he conquered the world and established his reign. It is said that he secured the box to keep the pearl safe from his enemies. She saw pictures of the box but could not wait to get her hands on him and examine it. She probably couldn't decipher it, but it would be fun. She thought it would be amazing if she cracked the puzzle and found the pearl but it would be even better if the pearl was a myth.<br/><br/><br/>When she got to the site the first thing that happened was Yì Lóng got in her face about being late and not having anyone to show him around. She knew it was a ploy to get her worked up. He was not unfamiliar with the site. He been there a lot and knew it well but he wanted to be angry over her not coming to his place for breakfast. He yelled at her in front of everyone and especially his female assistants but she didn't give a fuck. She just ignored him and apologize then got ready for her day. He finally cornered her in a makeshift office. He penned her against the wall, his arms at either side.<br/><br/><br/>"Nǐ ài ràng wǒ fēngle, bùshì ma? (You love making me mad, don't you?)" he said leaning in close to her and looking her in the eyes.<br/><br/><br/>Her heart fluttered wildly. She hated that he could still make her feel that way. "Yì lóng, nǐ zuò shénme? (Yì lóng, what are you doing?)"<br/><br/><br/>"Nǐ wèishéme bùguò lái,baby? (Why didn't you come over, baby?)" He grabbed her cheek and brought her gaze to his.<br/><br/><br/>"Wǒ bùshì nǐ de baby, nǐ líkāi hái jìdé ma? (I'm not your baby, you left remember?)" She didn't flinch.<br/><br/><br/>"Nǐ zhīdào, wǒmen jīngcháng chǎojià, nǐ zhīdào nǐ zǒng shì huì huílái, wǒ de baby. Bùyào ràng wǒ děngdài hěn cháng shíjiān. (You know we always fight and you know you always come back, to me baby. Don't make me wait to long.)" He leaned in to kiss her.<br/><br/><br/>She moved aside. "Nǐ zhǐshì wǒ de lǎobǎn hé wǒ zài zhèlǐ wéirào shìrén, bìng qídài zài wénwù. (You're just my boss and I'm here to show people around and look at the artifacts.)" She pushed him off. "Ràng wǒmen bùyào hùn gāoxìng yǔ yèwù, chúfēi nǐ bùxiǎng shīqù nǐ de assistant. (Let's not mixed pleasure with business unless you want to lose your assistant too.)"<br/><br/><br/>"She's nothing to me, " He said.<br/><br/><br/>"I feel pity for her then because she's a pretty face." Xiǎo Yú said. "She'll learn soon enough. So where the magic box."<br/><br/><br/>"You think it's important?"<br/><br/><br/>She rolled her eyes at him. "You are really full of shit aren't you. This could be the very magical box that the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty held the mythical xuè yuè míngzhū."<br/><br/><br/>"You don't believe in that shit do you?"<br/><br/><br/>She rolled her eyes. "Bèndàn! (Literal: stupid egg but it's means he's an idiot.) Just show me where the box it kept."<br/><br/><br/>"It's missing." He shrugged.<br/><br/><br/>"What?! Why?!"<br/><br/><br/>"It was stolen."<br/><br/><br/>"And you haven't reported it?<br/><br/><br/>"I have a specialist flying in. You're going to help him out."<br/><br/><br/>"Oh yea?" She laughed.<br/><br/><br/>"Yea, it's an order."<br/><br/><br/>"Fine."<br/><br/><br/>"You're not allowed to fall for him."<br/><br/><br/>"Why would that happen?"
