Li Du greeted the two women, but their attention was directed at Ah Meow. They pulled and hugged the ocelot aggressively, just like how soldiers from enemy territory would catch a hostage.

Ah Meow was clinging to Li Du's arm tightly with its little forepaw. However, the two girls pulled off its forepaw from his arm.

The ocelot expressed its unwillingness to be near them on its face.

Hans passed a chocolate to Li Du. He laughed, ”You must be very disappointed because I didn’t ask Dr. Sophie to come along.”

Mr. Li smiled, ”No, it is you who must be disappointed.”

Hans had always wanted to pair him up with Hannah, but they didn’t feel any chemistry between them. This had nothing to do with their appearances; the two of them were not attracted to each other, so they were destined to be friends.

But Hans did not mind this at all. He worked tirelessly trying to pair up his sister and Li Du.

He knew that Li Du was a good and outstanding person. He also knew that Li Du was a responsible man for his relationships and his family.

Listening to Li Du’s words, Hannah became curious and asked, ”Why is he disappointed?”

Mr. Li took out his cellphone and leisurely made a call. Soon enough, a motorcycle arrived, spewing the black fumes, and a vroom vroom sound was heard. There was a young man in a blue working shirt on the motorcycle. His hair was messy like hay dancing in the wind.

”Sh*t, Stephen!” Hans rolled his eyes reluctantly.

Stephen worked as a repairman, and had come directly after work. His shirt was dirty and oily. There were also some black oil stains on his face.

Seeing this, Hannah immediately let go of Ah Meow to welcome Stephen. She took out a tissue from her bag and helped him to wipe away the dirt carefully.

This warmed the repairman’s heart. He smiled and grinned at his sweetheart.

Ah Meow also felt relieved because of this. It didn’t smile brilliantly but it was finally free from Hannah’s hug.

”Look at his stupid face. I bet I will have to take care of them if Hanna marries him.” Hans felt headache when he thought of this.

Natalie smiled and asked, ”What do you mean?”

”Oh, nothing. Why is Sophie not coming today?” Hans changed the topic of the conversation.

Although he could not quite approve of Stephen, he respected the choice of his sister. As she was the one who had special and intimate relationship with him, so he had some positive opinion of Stephen.

Natalie shrugged and said, ”Although it is the weekend, Dr. Sophie still has to go to work today. They don’t have regularly scheduled breaks.”

”Too bad,” Li Du said.

Natalie shook her head and said, ”Exactly. Sophie will not rest for the next few days because they are preparing to hold a charitable medical activity for the Bones Community.”

Hans exclaimed, ”They must be angels! The Bones community? That's not a place where the girls should go.”

The Bones Community was a slum area in Flagstaff. There was often such a place in cities of the United States. They were low-income areas with lots of crime, drugs, and poor access to things such as grocery stores, adequate transportation, education, and medical services.

Hans was a know-it-all of Flagstaff city. Li Du didn’t really understand a lot about the slum community. They chatted about this topic while they were climbing the mountain.

The Grand Canyon National Park enjoyed a great reputation throughout the United States, attracting and impressing everyone with its magnificent views and thrilling rock formations. There were rugged plateaus, brittle summits, and maroon ridges. Everyone who visited there was touched because of these artistic details of the area.
