Rey Rong: Well, what can I do for you? I'm on a deadline and don't have any time to chat.
You: Eh... What genres of books do you write, Miss Rong?
Rey Rong: If you're asking me that, then that means you haven't read any of my books?
You: ...
Rey Rong: "Overtake My Whole World" and "Kiss Her Before Breaking Up"... Haven't you read these before?
You: ...No, I'm sorry. Maybe it is because I was occupied by my work...
Rey Rong: Well... How about "When Happiness Becomes a Waterfall"? Surely you must have read this one...
You: (She looks expectant, so maybe I should pretend to have read this book?)
Rey Rong: Forget it. You just have no taste in books. Hmph, leave me alone to continue my writing.
Rey Rong: Don't forget to close the door when you leave!
You: Okay...
The door opens. It looks like the code was correct.
Rey Rong: Ben, why are you here again? Honestly, you're... Eh, it's you lot.
You: Miss Rong, we just wanted to ask you something. This jade...
Rey Rong ignores you and speaks.
Rey Rong: I haven't asked you yet. Did Ben give you the code?
You: Code? You mean the way we knocked on the door? Actually, we...
Rey Rong: Yeah, when we were young, he would always knock like that. He said it's so that I would know it's him...
You: (Ugh, she's interrupted me twice already...)
Rey Rong: He was always preoccupied with these meaningless things...
Rey Rong doesn't look up from her laptop as she speaks, her fingers tapping away at the keys.
You: (What am I here for again...? Was it to hear her story?)
Marius: Miss Rong, may I suggest you stop for the moment, take a look at what's in my hand, and let us finish?
Marius takes out the square jade, and the tapping of keys stops immediately.
Rey Rong: !!!
Rey Rong: Where did you find this? Was there anything else with it? Like a longevity lock...
Marius: Miss Rong, please calm down first. We can't answer so many questions at once.
Rey Rong: ...
She finally closes her laptop and sits down with you.
Marius explains the story of how you both found the jade.
Rey Rong: I see...
You: So, Miss Rong, the jade belongs to you?
Rey Rong: Yes, my boyfriend's parents gave it to me when I was young.
Rey Rong: You should be able to see the inscription on it. Rey Success. It's got my name on it.
Rey Rong is right. The inscription on it is the reason why you both came here.
Rey Rong: But are you sure you didn't find a longevity lock? It can't be...
Rey Rong: I pawned them together...
You: Pawned? What do you mean?
Gulping, Rey Rong takes a long look at the jade and speaks.
Rey Rong: Fine, it doesn't matter even if I tell you both.
Rey Rong: This jade and the longevity lock were gifts that our parents exchanged when we were young.
Rey Rong: They are inscribed with blessings using our name.
Rey Rong: But the gifts were expensive, so neither of us wears them. We keep it at home.
Rey Rong: A few years ago, when I became a full-time writer, I was struggling to make ends meet.
Rey Rong: But I didn't want my boyfriend to find out, so I secretly pawned the jade and longevity lock.
You: (Wow, it's fine if she pawned her own item, but she also took Ben Yuan's... She's really...)
Rey Rong: Don't look at me like that. I know it's wrong to steal. I was going to wait until I got money...
Rey Rong: And buy them back from the pawnshop. It was always kept at home, and Ben doesn't look at it that much.
Rey Rong: Who would have thought that when I finally got the money to buy them back, the pawnshop had disappeared...
You: You're not afraid that he'll find out it's gone?
Rey Rong: Yeah, it's strange. Ben hasn't mentioned it all these years.
Rey Rong: Besides, what difference does it make if he finds out? I wish he did!
You: Eh? What do you mean?
Rey Rong: Then he will be completely disappointed with me and break up...
She says that with eyes full of hope.
Rey Rong: So, can you at least give the jade back to me? That way, I can at least return it to Ben's parents.
Rey Rong: I owe him too much. I'll pay him back little by little.
[Debate]
Marius: I'm sorry, but I think we better hold onto this.
Marius: After all, we don't want it to "disappear" again before the police arrive.
Rey Rong looks at the jade in your hands with slightly compassionate eyes, but soon, they turn into one full of scorn.
Rey Rong: Forget it, keep it.
Rey Rong: I've got a deadline to meet. Inspiration has been flowing like crazy. You know where the door is.
She walks back to the table and buries herself in writing.
Looks like she doesn't even want to spare you a look...
You and Marius sigh and leave her room.
