Xin Jun slowly nodded his head, taking in the information as he continued to take bites from his sandwich. Once he had swallowed that, he spoke again, "Men will be men, you know?" he told her, a small smile on his face. "Though they should know that it's not the right way to treat a lady. They have no manners." he grinned, laughing a little at his own comments. It was true, maybe Mr. Buckett didn't have manners, but then again, Xin Jun was here to brighten up her day. "And there is a Taiwanese saying, 'if someone transports dung and does not eat it, it should not be concluded that he is an honest person'... Which means... Don't trust people who don't partake of their own negativity." he said, then continued to eat his sandwich. It was true, if Mr. Buckett is treating Evie that way, then he is not a very trustworthy person, right?<br/><br/>After he had finished swallowing those bites, he looked out the window a bit, watching the passing of cars and then at wandering people. When he heard Evie ask about how his day had been, he turned his head to look at her. Then gave a shy smile, "Well, you should know. I've been stuck in that building till lunch hour came. Though, if Mr. Anderson... my boss.. hadn't come back I probably wouldn't have eaten. I'm the only one working there, so..." he stopped for a moment, not sure what to say. "You know, nevermind.. It's alright. I was just printing papers and organizing them, like you saw me do this morning. Quite a lot of work for one person since Mr. Anderson is out running errands and such. But, I can manage on my own." He was quiet for a moment, staring out the window as if he had said something he shouldn't have, but he had already said it. "I've always been able to do that. For quite some time, actually..." he put in.<br/><br/>Xin Jun just stared out the window, a look of loss in his eyes. As if they were, distant of some sort. But that look soon faded away quickly and he greeted Evie with another smile. He heard her ask about where his coat was and that it was cold today. "Nah, not that cold. Well, maybe a little... I don't have a coat. Been like that for about 5 years of me living here in New York actually. I had some controversy before I moved here from Taiwan. Lived there for 20 years, then spent 5 years here. It's... kind of hard to put, but..." Xin Jun was quiet for a moment, that distant look in his eyes, as if he were remembering something that was dear to him. He reached from around his neck to reveal a silver looking locket that was round in shape. He took it off from around his neck and held it in his hands, staring at it.<br/><br/>"To be very honest with you, Eve... I lived in Taiwan for 20 years, and during those 20 years, I thought I had a normal life. Maybe it is normal, but... When I was young, around 16 or so, my father grew ill and was put in the hospital for many months. He was a Carpenter. I kept thinking... 'He will be alright. Dad will always be alright because he is strong.' And at the time, I kept saying that for 3 months." He became quiet again, staring at the locket in his hand, his thumb rubbing over the top of it's silver frame that looked a little worn out. "He didn't make it and passed away a month later..." Xin Jun lifted his head to look out the window again, watching people pass. "When I was about 17, my sister passed away in a car accident with her high school friends..." He grew more quiet, wondering if it was ok to say anymore. But be brought up the courage to, because he was a lion, and he would remain strong. "Then, when I was 20, my mother and I moved here to the US, New York to be specific. Our family was very poor at the time due to all the hospital payments from my father. My mother worked in a Cafe, and at the time, was having heart problems. She too..."<br/><br/>He didn't say anything, giving the hint to Eve about what probably had happened to her. "They're all buried up in Taiwan together. I would have visited them these past 5 years, but my life has already slid downhill. I'm in a pit of despair, a deep one at that." He was speaking quietly, afraid to hear his own voice speak these words. "But... there is another Taiwanese saying, Yīgè měilì de rén kěnéng bù huì yǒu yīgè měihǎo de rénshēng" he told her, speaking in his native tongue, which actually sounded rather beautiful in a way. "It means, a beautiful person might not have a beautiful life. My life hasn't been all that great actually. But I cherish it very much because I know I only have one." With that, Xin Jun finished up his sandwich rather quickly.
