Chapter 18: Fourth Floor

Ye Xiao sat cross-legged on Ye Ming's bed that night with the green notebook open on her knees and her pencil going.

"Ge, this isn't a guess," she said at last.

She held it up, her round face pale under the lamp.

"It's a proper calculation. He worked out the failure load.

I can check it against the design and prove that gangway was never rated for two hundred."

"Who wrote this?" she added slowly. "I'd have wanted him as my teacher."

"A friend," said Ye Ming. "A very honest one."

"I'll find out."

"I know you will."

She took the notebook, kissed his cheek, and left with a hundred questions she had agreed not to ask.

Rain began on the window.

Ye Ming locked the door and turned.

Gu Chen stood by the desk in the lamplight with his hands at his sides.

He was not a shadow tonight, and he was not cold.

He had a face, and a coat with the rain on its shoulders, and his hair was only a little wet.

The reporter had believed him.

So had his mother, and the widow, and two hundred people on a studio floor.

He had taken all of it in and kept it.

"I am warm," said Gu Chen, in a wondering voice. "Ming, I've been warm since the afternoon."

He lifted a hand into the light and turned it over.
