summary: Da Qing follows the professor at a discreet distance.



Da Qing follows the professor at a discreet distance. The man obviously has no situational awareness-- he's startled by a swooping pigeon, for goodness sake-- but that's no reason to be sloppy. The Chief asked him to keep an eye on the guy, and he'll never hear the end of it if he loses a bookworm like this.

But it's lunchtime, and the professor's unwavering routine takes him right by Da Qing's favorite hotpot place. Every day this week, Da Qing mourned: piles of tender pork belly, platters of gleaming meatballs, the thick waft of fatty broth...

Surely one quick bowl can't hurt.
