A little after one o'clock the next afternoon, Chen Yu was sitting courtside at the Hellenic Olympic Center on the outskirts of Athens, watching the group stage match between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and Spain.
"Dr. Chen, it really is you."
A surprised greeting sounded beside Chen Yu's ear.
He turned his head to see Su Jun, a camera slung over his back.
He'd spotted Chen Yu from afar, but since Chen Yu was wearing a baseball cap, he hadn't dared to be certain until he got closer.
"When did you get here? I didn't see you in the Olympic Village," Chen Yu said, motioning for Su Jun to sit beside him.
Su Jun said, "I came to Athens with the Chinese Men's Basketball Team a few days ago and looked for you twice, but I missed you both times. I was even hoping to interview you during the opening ceremony the day before yesterday, but then that accident happened."
At the mention of the accident, Chen Yu sighed softly and asked if he knew the reporter.
