       Guan Anlin spent nearly 20 days in the hospital before his body gradually recovered from his injury. Later, when he was able to get out of bed on his own, Chen Yuncheng no longer stayed in the hospital all the time, but went back to the trade market from time to time to handle the work in the store, and came to accompany him at night.

       Because Chen Yuncheng stayed in the hospital with Guan Anlin for such a long time, Ning Junyan could only go home alone when he wasn’t working the night shift. And so as the time goes by, Guan Anlin became more and more disliked. When he checked on Guan Anlin in the morning, he looked at him with a cold gaze.

       Guan Anlin was scared and felt wronged, thinking that he didn’t do it on purpose, and besides, he also wanted to be discharged from the hospital early.

       That afternoon, Chen Yuncheng rushed back from the market before dinner to the hospital. As soon as he walked to the door of the ward, he saw the door of the ward open from the inside, and a man and a woman came out. Among them, the young woman was Yu Jie’s daughter Yu Mingli.

       Yu Mingli had met Chen Yuncheng once at Shu Rong’s place before, and Chen Yuncheng actually leave a deep impression on her. At this moment, she stopped and nodded at Chen Yuncheng.

       Although what Yu Jie did could not be blamed on his daughter, Chen Yuncheng still had a hard time liking Yu Mingli, so he just nodded, stepped aside to open the door, and saw Yu Mingli leaving with the middle-aged man in a suit.

       Then Chen Yuncheng went into the ward and saw Guan Anlin sitting by the bed, looking at something. He then asked Guan Anlin, “Yu Jie’s daughter is here to see you?”

       Guan Anlin raised his head, “Yes.”

       Chen Yuncheng asked, “For what?”

       Guan Anlin handed him the paper in his hand, Chen Yuncheng took it and saw that it was a printed Letter of Understanding¹A Letter of Understanding (LOU) is a formal text that sums up the terms of an undertaking of a contract which may have been negotiated up to this point only in spoken form or otherwise informally. In this case, this is the draft of the reconciliation letter to say that Guan Anlin will take back his report, written in Guan Anlin’s style, to show that he believed that Yu Jie did not do it on purpose, accepted the compensation, and expressed his understanding for Yu Jie’s behaviour. However, there was no signature in the lower right corner.

       After Chen Yuncheng finished reading, he looked up at Guan Anlin and saw that Guan Anlin was already lying down on the hospital bed with his arms resting behind his head lazily, so he asked, “How much is she going to compensate you?”

       Guan Anlin said, “Three hundred thousand²around $43,5k.”

       Chen Yuncheng slapped the letter of understanding on Guan Anlin’s face, “Are they crazy?!”

       Guan Anlin stretched out his hand to take it off, laughed out loud, and said, “I said the same thing, and then I told her to go back and get three million³$435k⁴, and to delete the sentence of believing that Yu Jie didn’t do it on purpose, and I would sign the understanding for them.”

       “Don’t sign,” Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help being angry when he thought of this matter, “Don’t sign for any amount of money, tell them to get out.”

       Guan Anlin folded the paper in his hand a few times, and threw it into the drawer of the bedside table, “They definitely won’t give out three million, and I don’t plan to sign it. Even if they can’t sentence Yu Jie to death, let’s let him sit in jail until he’s old!”

       As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and Ning Junyan walked in from the outside.

       It was already the end of the afternoon. Ning Junyan changed his clothes, stood beside Guan Anlin’s hospital bed, and asked Chen Yuncheng, “Are you coming back with me?”

       “I won’t go back,” Chen Yuncheng said, “I’m still worried about leaving him alone.”

       Guan Anlin suddenly felt that it was difficult to face Ning Junyan, so he turned his eyes away from him, and only said to Chen Yuncheng, “Actually, I don’t have anything to do, so I can do it alone at night.”

       Before Chen Yuncheng could speak, Ning Junyan said coldly, “I hired a nurse for him.”

       After he finished speaking, Ning Jun took two steps forward slowly, looked down at Guan Anlin who was lying on the bed, and said, “He can move around on his own, and he can call the doctor if he has anything to do. The purpose of hiring a nurse is just to prevent unexpected situations.”

       Guan Anlin felt a sense of oppression, and quickly said to Chen Yuncheng, “I think it’s completely okay, you should go home quickly, and you should also have a good rest.”

       Chen Yuncheng suddenly heard Ning Junyan say, “Let’s have dinner with my parents tonight.” He looked up in surprise.

       There was no expression on Ning Junyan’s face, he only said, “I’ve already made an appointment.”

       Chen Yuncheng took a deep breath and said to Guan Anlin, “Call me if you need anything.”

       He stayed in the ward for a while and waited for the nurse to call Guan Anlin for dinner before leaving with Ning Junyan.

       They went to the underground parking lot to pick up the car, Chen Yuncheng got into the passenger seat and suddenly felt a little nervous. He said to Ning Junyan, “Why didn’t you say so in advance, I could at least change my clothes.”

       Ning Junyan started the car and glanced at him, “It’s finally. Originally, it was my mother who called me, so I made an impromptu appointment.”

       “The dinner…what are you planning to say?”

       Ning Junyan said, “You can say whatever you want, anyway, I’m here, so what are you afraid of?”

       When he heard this, Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help but lower his head and smiled.

       The dinner appointment was outside, and Ning Junyan booked a small private room in a Chinese restaurant. Inside was a small round table, but only four seats were reserved.

       When they arrived, Shu Rong and Ning Zhanghong had already arrived.

       When Chen Yuncheng saw Ning Zhanghong, he asked him how his body was recovering recently. Ning Zhanghong was also very polite, shook hands with Chen Yuncheng, and said that there was nothing wrong with his health.

       His complexion did look much better than before.

       Shu Rong stood by and did not speak.

       Chen Yuncheng took the initiative to greet her, “Auntie.”

       She nodded and said, “Hello.”

       The four sat down and waited for the food to be served. At this time, the waiters came in and out, and no one in the private room spoke. The atmosphere seemed somewhat awkward, so Ning Zhanghong took the initiative to ask Ning Junyan a few things about work.

       When the dishes were almost served, the waiter withdrew and closed the door of the private room, and the room became quiet again.

       Ning Junyan asked Shu Rong, “Did Yu Mingli bring her lawyer to you this morning?”

       Chen Yuncheng put down his chopsticks and looked up at Shu Rong.

       Shu Rong still looked the same as usual, with exquisite makeup, and her hair carefully tidied and combed behind her head. She looked at Ning Junyan and said, “Yes.”

       “You already knew that Wang Yongcheng had been arrested, didn’t you?” Ning Junyan asked again.

       Shu Rong replied, “The police notified me very early.”

       At this moment, Chen Yuncheng suddenly said, “My brother tracked him down and secretly filmed him, and then told the police.” He didn’t care too much about Shu Rong’s attitude towards him, but when he thought of the way Shu Rong looked at Guan Anlin, made him feel uncomfortable in his heart.

       Shu Rong’s eyes turned to Chen Yuncheng, and said slowly, “I heard about it.”

       After she finished speaking, Ning Zhanghong said, “Thank him for us.”

       “Is this the attitude of you expressing gratitude?” Ning Junyan leaned back in his chair. Today, he ordered a table of dishes, but now most of them had not been touched. It seems that no one was in the mood to eat. The person is still lying in the hospital, you guys don’t even have the sincerity to visit, just a few empty words of thanks and that’s it?”

       Shu Rong frowned and looked at Ning Junyan.

       Ning Junyan continued without waiting for her to speak, “Yu Mingli came to you to talk about compensation? How much does she want to compensate you on behalf of Yu Jie?”

       Shu Rong said, “She is willing to assist us with the rent we lost on behalf of her father.”

       Ning Junyan nodded, “This is also what Guan Anlin almost lost his life in exchange for.”

       Shu Rong was used to being reserved, so she couldn’t speak for a while, so Ning Zhanghong said to Chen Yuncheng on his behalf, “Yuncheng, thank you for what happened this time. We will visit him in the hospital tomorrow. If there is anything you need, please feel free to mention it.”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head when he heard the words, “Uncle and aunt, I didn’t come here today to ask you to thank you.”

       Shu Rong looked at him, “Then what else do you want?”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head again, “Auntie, have you considered your relationship with Junyan?”

       “We are mother and son, what other relationship do we need?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “It’s not enough to be mother and child by blood. Emotions are a two-way street. If you don’t have feelings for him, how can you expect him to have feelings for you?”

       Shu Rong seemed a little angry, “How can I feel nothing for him?”

       Chen Yuncheng thought for a while and said, “I believe you have feelings for him, but feelings need to be expressed and given, not just unilaterally asked for. Those requests you made to him are a sign of your love for yourself, not a sign of love for him!”

       He rarely said these things to others, and he never felt that he knew more than others, so after he finished speaking, he looked at Ning Junyan with some uncertainty.

       Ning Junyan held his hand, right on the dining table, without avoiding anyone.

       Both Shu Rong and Ning Zhanghong looked at their interlocked hands.

       Chen Yuncheng felt the warmth of Ning Junyan’s palm and felt the strength to continue, “I didn’t come to see you today to ask you to thank me or my brother, or even ask you to accept me and Ning Junyan. I just want to tell you, if you really love Junyan, then treat him better, and let him feel your love for him, don’t say things like breaking off the relationship so easily, every affection doesn’t come easily and others can’t even ask for it if they want to.

       As he said this, Chen Yuncheng paused briefly, took a deep breath and continued, “If you are not going to love him, then I regret pushing him away back then. Give him back to me, and I will love him.”

       After he finished the last few words, Ning Junyan’s grip on his hand steeply tightened.

       Both Shu Rong and Ning Zhanghong were in a daze for a moment. It had been more than ten years, and the almost completely forgotten image suddenly reappeared in front of their eyes. Ning Junyan who was holding Chen Yun Cheng tightly and wouldn’t let go, and Ning Junyan who was pushed away by Chen Yuncheng with great force.

       In the past so many years, the person Ning Junyan wanted to hug the most was still the same person, and it hadn’t changed from beginning to end.

       Shu Rong and Ning Zhanghong left before the entire table had been finished.

       Chen Yuncheng insisted on packing the food, and Ning Junyan stayed with him to watch the waiter pack the food in the same box.

       Ning Junyan said, “We can’t finish the food even if we pack it back.”

       Chen Yuncheng complained to him, “Who told you to order so many?”

       Ning Junyan told him, “It’s a side dish in the private room.” He didn’t have the patience to order dishes one by one himself.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “Bring it to the hospital tomorrow for Guan Anlin to eat.”

       They each carried a few plastic bags out of the restaurant, walked to the parking lot and put all the plastic bags containing the food boxes in the back row.

       When Chen Yuncheng wanted to open the passenger door to get in the car, Ning Junyan put his hands on the door, trapping him between his arms.

       “What’s the matter?” Chen Yuncheng turned around to face him.

       Ning Junyan moved closer to his forehead and said, “Say that sentence from today again.”

       Chen Yuncheng pretended not to understand, “Which sentence?”

       “The one you told my mother.”

       Chen Yuncheng suddenly felt embarrassed, the distance between the two of them was too close, he lowered his gaze to look at Ning Junyan’s lips, and whispered, “The one about asking her to give you back to me?”

       Ning Junyan let out an “En” and urged him, “There’s more.”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “I will love you.”

       Ning Junyan was satisfied, and pecked his lips, “Let’s hurry back, I will love you so much.”

       By the time Guan Anlin was transferred from the ICU to the general ward, Chen Yuncheng saw Long Zhanyu in the hospital.

       Long Zhanyu didn’t come alone, he also had two colleagues in the ward to take Guan Anlin’s statement.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t go into the ward either and sat down with Long Zhanyu in the corridor outside. He looked at Long Zhanyu and said, “You look like you’ve lost weight.”

       “What’s with the exaggeration?” Long Zhanyu leaned back in his chair, playing with a lighter in his hand, “We haven’t seen each other for just a few days.”

       Chen Yuncheng observed him carefully, “But you still look pretty good. How is it going with Yu Jie?”

       The lighter in Long Zhanyu’s hand ‘clicked’ and lit up. The flame had just ignited, but he quickly let go of his hand and said, “I’m not at liberty to tell you much during the investigation stage of the case, but Yu Jie will definitely not escape. Don’t worry.” He said it lightly now, without mentioning a single word about the fact that he spent almost two whole nights looking for the dashcam records that captured the crime scene.

       Having said that, Long Zhanyu remembered something, “You know Wang Yongcheng, right?”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head in a daze.

       Long Zhanyu said, “The person who scammed Dr. Ning’s mother of the rent and then ran away, he’s also on the case.”

       “Really?” Chen Yuncheng was only slightly surprised.

       When Long Zhanyu looked at his expression, he asked, “You’re still not clear about how Guan Anlin fell out with Yu Jie, do you?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “He just came out of the ICU, how can I have the heart to ask him.”

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s because he found out that Wang Yongcheng had a relationship with Yu Jie. So he stalked and secretly photographed Wang Yongcheng, and offended Yu Jie.”

       Chen Yuncheng was a little startled, “Yu Jie was trying to kill him just because of this?”

       Long Zhanyu raised his head, “There is no surveillance, the surrounding is very dark, and the old van didn’t have a dashcam, and Guan Anlin was the one that hit first.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him.

       Long Zhanyu looked lazily, “At least some eyewitnesses who stood far away saw Guan Anlin raising his hand to hit, whether it was an intentional homicide or an accident or self-defence, who can say for sure.” Here, he paused, “But surveillance doesn’t lie.”

       “You said there was no surveillance.”

       Long Zhanyu smiled, “As long as one works hard enough, there is no case that cannot be solved.”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t continue to question. He was relieved when Long Zhanyu said Yu Jie couldn’t get away, and he didn’t want to force Long Zhanyu to say more because it was inconvenient for him to reveal more, so he just said, “Guan Anlin was too careless.”

       Long Zhanyu turned his head to look at him, “Actually, presumably part of it was because he was doing it for you.

       “Huh?”

       “Probably he wanted to get Yu Jie to withdraw Shu Rong’s money”

       Chen Yuncheng stared at the door of the ward in front, “But there was no evidence before that Yu Jie and that Wang Yongcheng were colluding, right?”

       Long Zhanyu smiled and said, “But it doesn’t prevent him from thinking this way, he has his simple instincts and they’re pretty accurate.”

       After the police had left, Chen Yuncheng opened the door of the ward and went in, and sat down beside Guan Anlin’s bed.

       Guan Anlin had just finished giving his statement, and he was a little tired. He lay on the bed and looked up at the IV bottle. He asked Chen Yuncheng, “Will it be over in half an hour?”

       Chen Yuncheng answered him, “The nurse said there is another set of medicine.”

       Guan Anlin sighed.

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him and said nothing.

       After a long time, Guan Anlin felt uncomfortable being watched, and asked him, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

       Chen Yuncheng did not answer.

       Guan Anlin then took the initiative to find a topic to chat with him about and said, “Tonight is Dr. Ning’s night shift again, right?”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       After Guan Anlin came out of the ICU, he needed a family member to stay in the ward with him to look after him. At first, Guan Anqin insisted on accompanying her brother by herself, but Chen Yuncheng thought that as a young girl, even if they were brothers and sisters, it would still be inconvenient for Guan Anlin if she wanted to go to the bathroom at night, so he asked Guan Anqin to go back at night, and he himself stayed here to keep watch over Guan Anlin.

       “Then you can go to sleep with him, you don’t need to keep watch over me here,” Guan Anlin said.

       Chen Yuncheng folded his arms on his chest and said to him, “Cut it out.”

       “Ugh—” Guan Anlin sighed again, looked up at the IV bottle, and said, “When will this day ever end?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “Do you regret it now?  Why didn’t you listen when I told you not to provoke Yu Jie?”

       Guan Anlin couldn’t help but want to raise his hand to cover his ears, but the wound would be pulled if he moved his hand. He lifted it up and put it down again, and said with a painful face, “Please let me go, don’t lecture me when I am already like this.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him and stopped talking.

       After a while, Guan Anlin raised his head to look at him and found that his eyes were red, and he was a little flustered, “What’s wrong with you? You’re not crying, are you?”

       The ward was a double room, separated by a curtain, and the people in the next bed can still hear their voices.

       Chen Yuncheng’s voice was hoarse, “I’m not”

       Guan Anlin said to him, “Aren’t I still alive? You can wait for me to die before you cry.”

       Chen Yuncheng stomped his foot on the edge of the hospital bed, causing the bed to shake slightly. He gave a rare cold face and spoke sternly, “Cut the crap!”

       Guan Anlin said, “Then don’t cry.”

       Although Chen Yuncheng’s eyes were still slightly red, he did not shed tears, he just looked at Guan Anlin and repeated, “I’m not crying.” After he said these words, he spoke again in a low voice, “You are my brother, the most important person around me, no one else is that important. Zhou Yan is still locked up in jail, I just want you to live a good life.”

       Guan Anlin sneered, “Don’t compare me with Zhou Yan. Besides, how can I be more important to you than Ning Junyan? Stop coaxing me, and live your life properly yourself.”

       Maybe it was because he talked too much in the afternoon, which consumed a lot of Guan Anlin’s energy. In the evening, before it was completely dark, Guan Anlin had already fallen asleep on the hospital bed.

       Chen Yuncheng greeted the patients and their families in the next bed, turned off the headlights in the ward, and sat by the bed alone. He looked at Guan Anlin quietly through the bedside lamp of the next bed through the middle curtain.

       The hospital ward was always filled with the smell of disinfectant, and other things, such as the smell of unconsumed dinner and the smell of a patient who was bedridden for a long time.

       Chen Yuncheng looked at Guan Anlin, in fact, he was in a daze. He thought that since Zhou Yan’s son was hospitalised and he met Ning Junyan again, and because he started to go in and out of the hospital frequently, he was almost familiar with these smells.

       He hoped that no one around him would be hospitalised anymore, although he would still come here often because Ning Junyan would always be here.

       After an unknown amount of time, the door of the ward was gently pushed open. Chen Yuncheng turned his head to look and saw Ning Junyan walking in.

       Ning Junyan moved very lightly, pulled a chair and sat down beside Chen Yuncheng, reached out to hold Chen Yuncheng’s hand, and placed it on his lap.

       Neither of them spoke.

       The patient in the next bed, separated by a curtain, was chatting quietly with his mother who was nursing him. They probably hadn’t noticed that there was an extra person in the ward at this time.

       Chen Yuncheng gently rested his head on Ning Junyan’s shoulder.

       Ning Junyan lowered his head, first kissed Chen Yuncheng’s forehead, and then kissed his lips.

       Chen Yuncheng was suddenly panicked and subconsciously looked at Guan Anlin who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, and then at the shadows of the two people on the next bed on the curtain.

       Ning Junyan was dissatisfied that Chen Yuncheng was not paying attention, and raised his hand to pinch his chin, making Chen Yuncheng only look at him.

       This sneaky kiss lasted for more than a minute before Ning Junyan let go of him, and kissed him on the cheek again in satisfaction.

       Chen Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief and clenched Ning Junyan’s hand firmly.

       After a while, Chen Yuncheng said softly to Ning Junyan, “Long Zhanyu came over today and told me that Guan Anlin must go to investigate Yu Jie. In fact, he wants to help your mother get her money back.”

       When he spoke, the bed next door was quiet for a while, but soon the voice of chatting continued.

       They all spoke so softly to each other that it was almost impossible to hear what the other was saying.

       Ning Junyan’s expression was very calm, obviously, he didn’t care much about this matter, he said, “It’s not necessary.”

       Chen Yuncheng grabbed his hand, “For me and Guan Anlin, it’s a lot of money.”

       “It’s not a matter of more money or less money,” Ning Junyan said, “it’s not worth risking your life for the money.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s eyes fell on Guan Anlin’s sleeping face, “He did it for me.”

       Ning Junyan was a little unhappy. After a while, he asked Chen Yuncheng, “Do you think my mother’s attitude towards you is important?”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t answer directly but said, “Maybe I care more about the family relationship. The more I lack something, the more people care about it. It doesn’t matter how she treats me. It’s just a pity to break this family relationship. Otherwise, why would I have pushed you back then, how much better it would have been if I had dragged you along with me.”

       “That person¹referring to his mom,” Ning Jun said slowly, “is difficult.”

       Chen Yuncheng knew in his heart, “I’m not important, what’s important is you and her.”

       Ning Junyan put his lips on his forehead, “No, you are important. If you think it is important, I will do it.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him, suddenly his emotions surged, he put his arms around the back of his neck and wanted to kiss him. At this time, the chair under him also moved slightly, making a slight sound as it rubbed against the ground.

       He was startled, and immediately raised his head to look at the curtain. He saw that there was no movement from the people behind the curtain. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realised that Guan Anlin, who was lying on the hospital bed, had woken up at some point.

       Chen Yuncheng immediately let go of Ning Junyan’s hand.

       Ning Junyan looked at Guan Anlin calmly.

       Guan Anlin looked disgusted, moved his body with difficulty, and said, “Are you guys not bothered? Get out of my ward!”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t drive when he came there, but now he drove Ning Junyan’s car parked in the hospital parking lot to take Guan Anqin back to school.

       Guan Anqin sat in the passenger seat and was silent all the way.

       Chen Yuncheng knew that she definitely couldn’t be completely at ease, so he persuaded her, “If Ning Junyan said he would be fine, then he will be fine, don’t worry.”

       Guan Anqin turned to look at him, and whispered, “Dr. Ning is very awesome.”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled when he heard the words, “He is very awesome.”

       Guan Anqin seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say it. She only said “thank you” to Chen Yuncheng when he dropped her off at the school gate.

       Chen Yuncheng parked his car at the roadside and saw her walk into the school before turning around and leaving. He didn’t go back to rest. He already called Shi Peng and told him to go and watch over the shop in the market for the past few nights, so Chen Yuncheng drove away from the school and back to the hospital.

       It was definitely impossible to see Guan Anlin at this time, so Chen Yuncheng parked the car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator to Ning Junyan’s department.

       Ning Junyan had not rested at this time, he was in the ICU ward explaining post-operative precautions to the nurses on duty, and only when he came out of the ICU ward and went back to his office did he meet Chen Yuncheng who was waiting for him outside.

       “Why aren’t you going back?” Ning Junyan was a little surprised.

       Chen Yuncheng stood against the wall and looked up at him, “I don’t want to go back alone.”

       Ning Junyan asked, “Want to be with me?”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       The corners of Ning Jun Yan’s mouth curled very slightly as he stretched out his hand towards him, and said in an arrogant tone, “Come.”

       Chen Yuncheng followed Ning Junyan into the office. Ning Junyan extended his hand and locked the door behind him, hugged Chen Yuncheng and sat down on the sofa, and made sure that Chen Yuncheng sat on his lap.

       “You are too tired,” Chen Yuncheng wanted to get up. Ning Junyan had been standing up all night for the surgery, and Chen Yuncheng really didn’t want to put his weight on him again.

       Ning Junyan hugged him tightly and said, “I’m not tired.”

       Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help laughing, “Don’t you think this position is like hugging a child?”

       Ning Junyan asked him, “Aren’t you scared?”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him.

       Ning Junyan’s tone was flat, “Hold me if you’re afraid.”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled and raised his arms to wrap his arms around his neck, “I’m not afraid now, I won’t be afraid when you are here.”

       Ning Junyan even patted him on the back, as if to comfort him.

       Chen Yuncheng leaned his head on Ning Junyan’s shoulder and said, “I was really scared just now, just like that time when I failed to pull Zhou Yan back in time, I was very worried that something would happen to Guan Anlin, and I wondered why I didn’t stop him in the first place, knowing Yu Jie is an old fox, and he can’t play him.”

       Ning Junyan said softly, “Precisely because Yu Jie was an old fox, no one expected him to be that rough and straightforward to kill someone, right?”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded, he suddenly thought maybe they were too kind, so they couldn’t predict the evil of human nature. He felt very uncomfortable and thought of Guan Anlin who was lying on the hospital bed, and Zhou Yan who was locked in prison. He even couldn’t help thinking about his parents who died young, and his foster father who had tried to knock Ning Junyan to death with a shovel that night.

       He had seen so many ugly and evil human natures, but he was still kind, so he would be even sadder.

       Chen Yuncheng hugged Ning Junyan’s neck tightly, rubbed his forehead on his shoulder, and called his name, “Ning Junyan.”

       “Hm?” Ning Junyan looked down at him.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “What would I do without you?”

       Without Ning Junyan, Chen Yuncheng might not be able to leave his foster father and foster mother now. He might not continue to steal things, but he certainly wouldn’t be able to live the life he had now, and he might be tormented by his conscience and feelings all the time.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “Without me, there would be other doctors who would have saved Guan Anlin’s life.”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head, he didn’t just want to talk about Guan Anlin.

       Unexpectedly, Ning Junyan continued, “But without me, no one would have loved you that much.”

       Chen Yuncheng laughed when he heard the words, and asked Ning Junyan, “Am I so unattractive that no one will love me except you?”

       Ning Junyan said in his calm tone, “You have lived until twenty-nine years old, has anyone else loved you besides me?”

       Chen Yuncheng thought for a while, and suddenly felt sad, “No.” He was persuaded by Ning Junyan, “Alright, only you love me, then you have to love me all the time.”

       Ning Junyan kissed him on the forehead and replied, “Alright.”

       Later, Chen Yuncheng fell asleep directly in Ning Junyan’s arms.

       Ning Junyan directly carried him up, left the office, and walked to the duty room on the other side of the corridor.

       The second-line duty room was a separate room with a 1.8-meter bed. The sheets and quilt cover were just changed today, but the pillows and quilts were for one person.

       Ning Junyan put Chen Yuncheng on the bed, took off his shoes, and helped him take off his coat.

       Chen Yuncheng woke up briefly, but the lights in the room were not turned on. He was a little confused about where he was in the dark, only hearing Ning Junyan say to him, “Go back to sleep.” He was tense all night and was now too tired, so he fell asleep again.

       Ning Junyan slept next to him afterwards, sharing a quilt with him, and casually folded his coat as a pillow under his head.

       The two spent the rest of the night quietly on the big bed in the duty room.

       Early the next morning, when Ning Junyan’s phone alarm clock rang, Chen Yuncheng also woke up. He opened his eyes and found with a bewildered look that he had no idea where he was.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “You can still sleep for a while.”

       Chen Yuncheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, “Where is this?”

       “The hospital duty room,” Ning Junyan answered him, giving him a kiss on the lips.

       It took Chen Yuncheng some time to react, and he suddenly felt very embarrassed, afraid that someone would come in and see him, so he quickly rolled over.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “If you don’t want to sleep again then I will take you to breakfast later.”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       Visits in ICU were not allowed, but after nine o’clock in the morning, one could look through the glass windows and see the patients.

       Chen Yuncheng followed Ning Junyan and finished breakfast in the hospital canteen. After Ning Junyan finished his shift, he went in to see Guan Anlin.

       Guan Anlin had already woken up, but his whole body was still very weak. He has a tube inserted into his body and was lying on the hospital bed inhaling oxygen. He noticed Chen Yuncheng standing outside the glass window and tried to raise his hand, but the nurse saw him and scolded him.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t dare to stay for long and left the visiting room of the ICU.

       Ning Junyan got off the night shift and drove home with Chen Yuncheng. After they took a shower and changed into pyjamas, the two of them lay on the bed to catch up on sleep.

       Chen Yuncheng had something on his mind and couldn’t fall asleep for a while, so he reached out to pick up the mobile phone next to the bed, and secretly glanced at Ning Junyan. When he saw that Ning Junyan seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, he planned to get out of bed and go out to make a phone call.

       In the end, just as he moved, Ning Junyan extended his arms and hugged him back.

       “Don’t go,” Ning Junyan said with his eyes closed.

       Chen Yuncheng kissed his eyes, “You sleep, I’ll go out and make some phone calls.”

       Ning Junyan said, “Just do it here.”

       Chen Yuncheng was a little amused, “It will disturb your sleep.”

       Ning Junyan had no intention of letting go of his hand at all.

       Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to lie on the bed, and first called Wu Xiaozhu to arrange work in the store. He said that Guan Anlin had a car accident, but he didn’t say how serious it was. He only said that he might not be back for a while, and he would go there in the afternoon.

       When he was on the phone, Ning Junyan obviously hadn’t fallen asleep, he slipped his hand into the hem of his pyjamas and traced gentle circles against the soft skin of his belly.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t stop him, and after finishing the phone call with Wu Xiaozhu, he called Long Zhanyu again.

       Before making this call, Chen Yuncheng was a little hesitant. He felt that Long Zhanyu must have been busy last night, and he didn’t know if he was still busy or just had a rest.

       The phone rang twice and was quickly connected, Long Zhanyu’s hoarse voice came through, “Chen Yuncheng?”

       Chen Yuncheng asked him, “How is it going?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “I’m still busy now, I’ll call you when there is a result here.”

       Ning Junyan seemed to hear Chen Yuncheng calling Long Zhanyu and leaned closer to kiss his sensitive earlobe and neck.

       Chen Yuncheng shuddered and raised one hand to cover Ning Junyan’s mouth.

       Ning Junyan frowned unhappily.

       Chen Yuncheng said to Long Zhanyu, “Thank you for your hard work, and take care of your body.”

       After he hung up the phone, he released his hand covering Ning Junyan’s lips.

       Ning Junyan was very displeased, “Why didn’t you tell me to take care of my body?”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him, “I told you to sleep well.”

       “Can’t sleep, I need to kiss my wife first,” Ning Junyan said, and then kissed Chen Yuncheng’s lips, delaying the two of them from going to bed for another few minutes.

       At the time Chen Yuncheng rushed to the hospital, Guan Anlin had already been admitted to the emergency operating room.

       Outside the operating room, Long Zhanyu was standing alone against the wall. Chen Yuncheng walked up to him quickly, his rapid breathing had not yet slowed down, and asked, “What’s going on?”

       Long Zhanyu answered him, “It’s not clear yet, but he had a fight with Yu Jie on the side of the road before the accident. I suspect that Yu Jie pushed him on purpose.”

       When he heard this, Chen Yuncheng grabbed Long Zhanyu’s lapel, “I said it would be dangerous and told him not to go, yet you encouraged him to continue the investigation!”

       Long Zhanyu looked down at Chen Yuncheng’s hand tightly gripping his lapel, and said, “Simmer down, I didn’t encourage Guan Anlin to investigate Yu Jie.”

       Chen Yuncheng stared at him fiercely without saying anything. His eyes then gradually eased after a while, and he also let go of his grip on Long Zhanyu.

       “How is he doing now?” Chen Yuncheng glanced at the closed door of the operating room.

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s going to be open-heart surgery, Dr. Ning went in.”

       “Ning Junyan went in?” Chen Yuncheng felt like his strength had been instantly drained from him, and sat down on the chair by the wall. His eyes were a little blank as he said, “I grew up without my parents, and I’ve always treated them like they were my own.”

       He was not only talking about Guan Anlin but also Zhou Yan who was in prison.

       The feeling of watching his loved ones leave, or stepping into a desperate situation was making him feel he was too powerless, and he is really afraid.

       Long Zhanyu walked up to him and squatted down, looking up at him, “No one would have thought that Yu Jie would be that mad.”

       “Where’s Yu Jie?” Chen Yuncheng asked.

       Long Zhanyu took a deep breath, “He’s already been arrested and is now at the branch office making a statement.”

       “Can you convict him?”

       Long Zhanyu replied this time, “Yes, trust me.” He was silent for a while, and continued, “Although the case has not been formally filed, the case is now being investigated for intentional homicide.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s heart was in turmoil. What happened to Yu Jie at this time was far less important to him than Guan Anlin coming out of the operating room safely.

       Long Zhanyu sat with him for a while, went to the corner and made a phone call, and then told Chen Yuncheng that he was leaving, “I’ll go to the branch office and ask my colleagues.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him and nodded.

       After Long Zhanyu left, Chen Yuncheng sat alone outside the operating room and waited. He felt cold all over his body, and there was wet sweat on his forehead.

       After more than half an hour, Guan Anqin walked over from the corridor with a small bag on her back. She stopped when she saw Chen Yuncheng, and called out softly, “Cheng ge?”

       Chen Yuncheng stood up, “Xiao Qin, you are here?”

       Guan Anqin’s eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked up, “How is my brother?”

       Chen Yuncheng could be vulnerable when he was alone, but he had to be strong in front of Guan Anqin, he said, “Dr. Ning is operating on him inside, he will be fine.”

       Guan Anqin nodded.

       Chen Yuncheng asked her to sit down, went to pour her a cup of hot water, came back and sat beside Guan Anqin, and didn’t speak again after that.

       The white lights in the hallway always look a bit bleak.

       It was the second time Chen Yuncheng sat outside the operating room and wait for Ning Junyan. Last time he only felt very worried, but this time he was not only worried but also afraid. He was not in the mood to call Long Zhanyu, and leaned his head against the wall, trying to make his breathing even and soothing, not wanting Guan Anqin to feel his nervousness.

       But this time Ning Junyan didn’t let him wait that long.

       It had been more than three hours since the surgery began when the doors to the operating room opened. Ning Junyan was still wearing the surgical gown and had not changed, walked up to Chen Yuncheng as if he knew he would be waiting there, smiled at him and winked.

       There was no need to say anything at this time, Chen Yuncheng stood up and hugged Ning Junyan.

       Ning Junyan’s body smelled of sweat, and even his clothes were slightly damp, but Chen Yuncheng didn’t care about all those things at this time, he only felt that everything about Ning Junyan was beautiful.

       “Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Ning Junyan said calmly, but he tightly hugged Chen Yuncheng’s waist with one hand, and kissed his ear. Then he turned to Guan Anqin, who was also looking at him nervously, and said, “Your brother’s surgery was successful, and he will be fine.”

       Guan Anqin was about to cry, she said, “Thank you, Dr. Ning.”

       Ning Junyan stretched his slender fingers into Chen Yuncheng’s hair and said to him, “He should be observed in the ICU for two days after leaving the operating room. You won’t be able to see him tonight, so why don’t you go back and rest?”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t answer, he turned to look at Guan Anqin, “I’ll take you back to school, you can come back tomorrow.”

       Guan Anqin didn’t know what was going on in the ICU, so she asked in a low voice, “Can I see him through the glass?”

       Ning Junyan said to her, “You won’t be able to see him, go back and rest.”

       Guan Anqin nodded.

       Long Zhanyu went to the branch office. Because of the possible involvement of intentional murder, the case was now under the jurisdiction of the branch office, and Yu Jieren was still locked in the interrogation room of the branch office.

       The deputy captain of the fourth squadron, Zhang Zheng, who is in charge of the case, was Long Zhan Yu’s senior in the Police Academy. Zhang Zheng saw Long Zhanyu while smoking in the corridor, and raised his hand to greet him, “Xiao Long, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

       Long Zhanyu smiled, “You guys are busy with big cases every day, how can you have time to see me?”

       Zhang Zheng smiled when he heard this and tossed him a cigarette.

       Long Zhanyu stood beside Zhang Zheng and lit a cigarette. He took a slow puff and then asked, “How about that Yu Jie?”

       Zhang Zheng looked at him, “I heard that he was captured by your people?”

       Long Zhanyu nodded, “I know the victim.”

       Zhang Zheng said, “This man was very stubborn. He insisted that the other party hit him. Then they pushed each other, and he fell to the ground, the other party took two steps back and was hit by a car.”

       At that time, Long Zhanyu asked someone to restrain Yu Jie. After calling the command centre, he followed Guan Anlin to the hospital. He listened to the general situation of the follow-up investigation on the phone, and now he asked carefully, “What about the surveillance? The car that hit him didn’t have a dashcam?”

       Zhang Zheng shook his head, “That place is a surveillance blind spot. The car that hit the person was a very old broken van without a dashcam. And it was dark at the time. The driver said he didn’t pay attention to the situation on the side of the road and only suddenly saw someone rushing out.”

       Long Zhanyu asked again, “Where are the witnesses?”

       Zhang Zheng answered him, “I’m still looking.” After speaking, he glanced at Long Zhanyu, “So concerned? Should I hand it over to you guys?”

       Long Zhanyu laughed, “Okay, you can borrow me as a labour force for free. I will definitely not let Yu Jie go.”

       Zhang Zheng heard the words and said, “I mean it. I’ll apply tomorrow for a temporary transfer of personnel from your squadron.”

       Long Zhanyu looked towards the lighted interrogation room, “Can I ask him a few words?”

       Zhang Zheng said, “Go ahead.”

       In the interrogation room, Yu Jie sat alone on a cold wooden chair with his hands handcuffed to the small table in front of him.

       Long Zhanyu walked in and sat down on the chair opposite him.

       Yu Jie looked at him and said nothing.

       Long Zhanyu said, “Guan Anlin has finished his surgery and his life is not in danger.”

       Yu Jie smiled and said, “Really? That’s really great.”

       Long Zhanyu said again, “That place downstairs of your company, you know that there is a blind spot for surveillance, right?”

       Yu Jie didn’t answer, just asked, “Is this a formal interrogation, officer?”

       Long Zhanyu had no paper and pen in front of him, nor did he use a computer to record. Obviously, it was not a formal interrogation. He did not answer Yu Jie’s question, but continued, “You must’ve thought that broken van must not have a car recorder, right? Did you know that no one in the nearby office building can see what you’re doing from the windows? Now you must be considering how to plead guilty to be seen as sincere enough to give you a slightly lighter sentence when you are sentenced.”

       Yu Jie had a sincere look on his face, “Officer, I really didn’t push him on purpose. Look at my face, it’s the marks where he pushed me to the ground and bruised me.” There were very obvious scratches on his face.

       Long Zhanyu nodded, “It’s okay, you should think about it yourself.”

       He came out of the interrogation room and found Zhang Zheng, “Show me the surveillance.”

       Zhang Zheng said yes, but then said, “We have checked the surveillance in detail, and it is true that nothing was captured.”

       Long Zhanyu said, “I want to find all the vehicles that passed by at the time of the incident. There will always be a dashcam to capture the process.”

       Zhang Zheng was a little surprised, “Are you going to find them one by one now?”

       Long Zhanyu said to him, “A lot of dashcams are going to overwrite the recordings. If the owner of the car didn’t notice it, and we delayed it for a long time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find the records for that time. It’s best to contact the car owner in time for tomorrow morning before work.”

       Zhang Zheng looked at him for a while, put his arms around his shoulders and led him outside, and said, “Go, I’ll find someone to go with you, and also, I’ll ask Captain Xia to call the fifth squadron tomorrow and borrow you for two days. “

The author has something to say:
Some readers have a bit of hatred for the character of Long Zhanyu. It doesn’t matter, but please don’t be malicious to the author. The author did not discredit a certain profession, and all the characters serve the plot and do not want to convey any point of view through a web article. The main purpose of writing the article is to share the meng¹cuteness points.

Everyone should never learn about a certain profession or group through online articles, because the author’s understanding is very little and one-sided. Entry-level police officers work very hard and there is no saying that they do not handle criminal cases. If you want to have a detailed understanding, you can watch documentaries or something. The trivial matters you think have certain consequences are all criminal cases, and they are all handled by the police at the police station, but they only have certain jurisdiction for some areas.

       Guan Anlin had been very busy outside recently, and Chen Yuncheng knew what he was busy with. However, he couldn’t make up his mind about whether to dissuade him.

       After all, it was not Chen Yuncheng who sat in prison for those two years. Life in prison was difficult, so no matter how much Guan Anlin hated Yu Jie, Chen Yuncheng could understand it.

       Guan Anlin showed a lot of interest in Yu Jie’s so-called investment project. He put a lot of time and energy into Yu Jie’s side and even got to know the staff of Yu Jie’s company well.

       Yu Jie’s company was not large in scale. Previously, Long Zhanyu said that he hadn’t found any specific business projects, but Guan Anlin had seen Yu Jie’s company’s accountants doing the finance. Guan Anlin curiously approached her and asked her what she was doing. The accountant said she was doing it for other companies.

       Guan Anlin couldn’t understand the complicated information on the bills, so he went to talk to the accountant when he had nothing else to do. The accountant’s surname was Yuan, a young girl in her twenties, with a pair of glasses on her round face, and she was brought to laugh by Guan Anlin.

       Yu Jie asked Guan Anlin, “Have you taken a fancy to our little Yuan?”

       Guan Anlin smiled and said, “Isn’t she quite cute?”

       Yu Jie asked him again, “Are you planning to continue business with Chen Yuncheng?”

       Guan Anlin bit his cigarette and said, “It’s tiring and the money isn’t much.”

       Yu Jie looked at him with a smirk, “How can you make money by doing business honestly these days?”

       Guan Anlin raised his finger and pointed to his head, and said, “He’s too single-minded and he’s been stubborn for so many years. He always thinks that you are the one who caused all of that in the first place.”

       Yu Jie put his arms around his shoulders, “How many times have I explained that matter, it was just a misunderstanding, and I was tricked by others, don’t you believe me now?”

       “I believe in you. If I didn’t believe you, why would I still be working with you? I’ll just take it easy with Chen Yuncheng now. After all, we’ve been brothers for so many years, I don’t want to fall out with him, I’ll talk to him when the project is up and running.” At this point, Guan Anlin began to urge Yu Jie to hurry up with the formalities and prepare to start their Columbarium tower project.

       Yu Jie said, “Don’t be in a hurry, it’s not a day or two things. There are too many people who need to be dealt with by the government. I will take you there to meet the abbot of their temple as soon as it is done.”

       After Yu Jie walked away, Guan Anlin took a hard puff of a cigarette and then exhaled a long breath. He lowered his head and thought back on what he said just now. He felt that there should be no flaws, and he couldn’t help feeling a little smug, thinking that now it was his turn to deceive Yu Jie around.

       That afternoon, Guan Anlin was sitting next to the accountant’s desk chatting with her. He took out his mobile phone and sent a few messages and found that the battery was dead, so he said to the accountant, “Little Yuan girl, help me charge the battery.”

       The accountant’s age was actually not younger than him, but she was very happy to hear him call her little girl, so she took his mobile phone and plugged it into her own charger to charge his phone.

       Guan Anlin forgot to bring his mobile phone when he left in the afternoon, took the lift down to the ground floor before he remembered, and took the lift upstairs again.

       When he entered the office, the door was still open, but most of the employees had already left, leaving the door of Yu Jie’s office still open with lights on inside.

       After hesitating for a while, Guan Anlin didn’t go to greet Yu Jie, but just took his mobile phone and was about to leave. Just as he walked to the door, he passed a short middle-aged man. Guan Anlin took a look at the middle-aged man, felt very strange, and saw that he had entered Yu Jie’s company, so he stopped him and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

       The middle-aged man said, “I’ve made an appointment with Boss Yu.”

       Guan Anlin nodded and said, “Oh.” He stood there, watching the man enter Yu Jie’s office, without thinking too much, and walked towards the elevator.

       As soon as he walked into the elevator, Guan Anlin was suddenly curious about what this person was going to say to Yu Jie at this time, and when he returned, he found that the door of the office had been closed.

       Guan Anlin didn’t have a key, so naturally he couldn’t get in. But the door was a glass door, and even though it was locked, you could still see the lights in Yu Jie’s office from the outside. So he must not have left yet and was talking to the man from earlier.

       He actually wanted to catch Yu Jie in the act, but he immediately became interested in this middle-aged man who needed to sneak around and talk to Yu Jie behind closed doors, so he took the elevator down to the first floor without leaving, hid in the corner and waited patiently.

       Guan Anlin waited until it was almost dark before the middle-aged man came downstairs. After waiting for more than an hour, he secretly took two photos of the man with his mobile phone and hesitantly sent them to Long Zhanyu, “Can you find out what this is?” person?”

       Long Zhanyu replied quickly, “I’m not a private detective.”

       Guan Anlin didn’t know if Long Zhanyu would help him with the investigation, so he followed the middle-aged man out from a distance and saw him hailing a taxi by the side of the road, so he turned around and walked towards the subway station.

       When he was halfway there, Long Zhanyu’s phone call suddenly came.

       Guan Anlin answered the phone, and heard Long Zhanyu say, “Where did you meet this person? This man is a fraudster who is on the run online, named Wang Yongcheng.”

       Wang Yongcheng? Guan Anlin thought for a while and felt that this name was not familiar to him.

       Long Zhanyu continued, “He just lied to the owner of the plastic surgery hospital some time ago, let me see—” There was a click of the mouse from his side, “The person in charge of the case was reported by Shu Rong. He ran away after paying a million rent.”

       Guan Anlin reacted immediately, “You said Chen Yuncheng’s evil mother-in-law met a scammer?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “What? Oh, it’s Chen Yuncheng’s boyfriend’s mother.”

       Guan Anlin stood where he was, held the phone close to his ear, and said, “fvck! I’m sure enough, he hooked up with Yu Jie!”

       Long Zhanyu asked him, “Where is the man?”

       Guan Anlin returned to the place where Wang Yongcheng left just now, and the taxi was no longer there. He tried to recall the taxi license plate but found that he couldn’t remember it either.

       Long Zhanyu said, “Don’t worry, let’s come over and adjust the monitoring to see if we can find any clues.”

       Guan Anlin asked him, “Do you want me to wait for you here?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “No need, pay attention to your own safety, don’t let Yu Jie and the others notice.”

       After he hung up the phone, Guan Anlin looked in the direction the taxi had left, knowing full well that he couldn’t see anything else. At this moment, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind him.

       Guan Anlin turned around and saw Yu Jie who was smiling all over his face.

       Yu Jie asked him, “What are you looking at?”

       Guan Anlin followed with a smile, “It’s nothing, why were you working late?”

       Yu Jie replied, “I just had a business talk with a friend and I’m getting ready to go back now.”

       Guan Anlin nodded, “I’m also planning to go back.”

       Yu Jie asked him, “You didn’t drive today, did you? I’ll take you home.”

       Guan Anlin didn’t even think about it, and immediately refused, “No, I’ll take the subway.”

       Yu Jie put his hands into his coat pockets, the valuable watch on his left wrist was still exposed, and looked at him with a gentle smile, “Why? Wouldn’t it be nice if I gave you a lift? My friend said just now that he saw you waiting downstairs for over an hour, so you should be tired of waiting too.”

       Guan Anlin’s face changed, and then he laughed dryly, “Luckily I’m not too tired either, so I’ll go first.”

       Yu Jie stood at the same spot, looked at his back as he left, and said to him, “Guan Anlin, you really don’t have a bright mind. you’re really not very bright, you deserve to be useless for the rest of your life, and you can’t make any money. You can only work for others.”

       Guan Anlin stopped, turned around and looked at Yu Jie viciously, “What are you trying to say?”

       Yu Jie still had that calm look, “I said you have a problem with your head. I  genuinely wanted to take you to make money, and what happened back then, if Chen Yuncheng hadn’t called the police, would you have been arrested and jailed? Instead of holding a grudge against him, what do you want to do by coming after me now and keeping an eye on me at all times?”

       Guan Anlin walked up to Yu Jie and grabbed his lapels, “If Chen Yuncheng hadn’t called the police, I would have followed you to manufacture drugs, and I would be sentenced to more than just two years in prison by now!”

       “That’s why you’re an idiot!” Yu Jie said, “If he hadn’t called the police you wouldn’t have been caught at all, and we would have made a lot of money together. You can’t even afford your own house now! Do you think Chen Yuncheng is being good to you? He doesn’t think of you highly at all. Do you see his attitude towards people like Ning Junyan and his attitude towards you? In his eyes, you are like mud in the gutter, which can’t even be pasted on the wall. You still think you are his brother, you who have been in prison, who would treat you as a brother!”

       Guan Anlin raised his fist and was about to hit Yu Jie’s face, almost touching Yu Jie’s face, but he stopped suddenly, he realised that Yu Jie was deliberately provoking him for a reason he didn’t know. Someone like Yu Jie wasn’t worth the punch he threw.

       He stared hard at Yu Jie and was just about to let go when he was pushed heavily in the chest by Yu Jie.

       Guan Anlin stepped back unconsciously and saw Yu Jie fall to the ground by himself, while he heard a fierce car horn, and then was sent flying into the air by something.

       Chen Yuncheng had been restless throughout that afternoon.

       The temperature had cooled down a bit in the past two days. As the National Day¹1st of October approached, the temperature was getting colder by the day. The big trees in the trade market had also begun to lose their leaves with a thick layer of yellow leaves covering the ground.

       Ning Junyan was on duty at night, so Chen Yuncheng was not in a hurry to leave. He asked Wu Xiaozhu and Shi Peng to leave work first and stayed behind to wait for Guan Anlin to come back. However, it was almost eight o’clock in the evening but he hadn’t returned.

       Chen Yuncheng wanted to make a call to Guan Anlin. He just took out his phone, but before he could dial the number, the phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID showed Long Zhanyu’s name.

       “Hello?” Chen Yuncheng’s heart beat violently as he connected the call.

       Long Zhanyu’s voice came over, “Guan Anlin had a car accident and had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.”

       Chen Yuncheng finally knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from. He turned pale for a moment and asked, “Is it serious? Which hospital is it?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s very serious. He was sent to the No.2 Hospital.”

       That was the hospital where Ning Junyan worked.

       When he returned home, Chen Yuncheng opened the door and saw that the light in the living room had been switched off, leaving only the kitchen and bedroom with lights on.

       He walked lightly to the side of the sofa and saw Long Zhanyu resting on a pillow, covered with a thin quilt, already fast asleep. Then he walked gently towards the kitchen.

       Ning Junyan was washing dishes in the kitchen.

       Chen Yuncheng walked up to him and said to him, “I’ll continue, you go and take a shower first.”

       Ning Junyan didn’t stop what he was doing. He just turned his head to look at Chen Yuncheng, and said, “You go and shower first.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him, “Then I will stay here with you.”

       Ning Junyan did not object and said in a flat tone, “Then let’s shower together.”

       Chen Yuncheng subconsciously glanced in the direction of the living room outside. He thought that there was still a guest at home, and although it looked like the guest had fallen asleep; if the guest woke up and saw them, he would be embarrassed. So he hesitated and said, “I’d better go shower first. “

       When Ning Junyan returned to the room after taking a shower, it was already very late. When he entered the room, he casually locked the door behind him.

       Chen Yuncheng hadn’t slept yet. He lay on the bed and flipped through the book that Ning Junyan had left next to the pillow, but didn’t read a single word.

       Ning Junyan took off his shoes and went to bed, knelt on the bed like a hunting beast and slowly approached Chen Yuncheng until he was completely pressed under him.

       Chen Yuncheng was crushed for a moment and couldn’t move, pretending to struggle, “You are going to crush me to death.”

       Ning Junyan grabbed his neck in one bite.

       Chen Yuncheng was bitten so painfully by him, he shook his head and said, “It hurts! Are you a dog?” But he couldn’t shake Ning Junyan away, and he went back to push him, only to have Ning Junyan clasp his hand and interlock his fingers. The next second Ning Junyan loosened his teeth, turned his head sideways and kissed Chen Yuncheng’s lips.

       He was pinned down until he was breathless, Chen Yuncheng ducked behind and said, “Not tonight.”

       Ning Junyan’s straight nose rubbed against Chen Yuncheng’s cheek, “I’m on duty tomorrow.”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “There is still a guest outside.”

       “He fell asleep.”

       “He might wake up.” The soundproofing of this house was average, and Chen Yuncheng really could not guarantee whether Long Zhanyu, who was on the sofa outside, would hear anything through the door when he woke up.

       Ning Junyan’s tone couldn’t have been flatter, “Then let him listen.”

       “Don’t make trouble,” Chen Yuncheng was really crushed to the point where he was almost out of breath and struggled hard to turn over.

       Only then did Ning Junyan lie sideways next to him, giving him the opportunity to close the book he had just pressed under his chest and put it to one side, and turn over on his back to lie on the bed.

       “He was too drunk,” Ning Junyan said without any emotion. Chen Yuncheng didn’t know whether he was happy or not.

       Chen Yuncheng raised his arm and pillowed it under his head, “He’s under too much pressure from work, I guess, and probably needs to relax a bit.” He thought of Long Zhanyu’s state, working hard all year round, and there was only one person at home, and his life was a mess.

       Ning Junyan suddenly reached out and gently covered his eyes.

       “What’s the matter?” Chen Yuncheng pulled his hand away.

       Ning Junyan was unhappy, “You are thinking about him.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said, “Didn’t you talk about him first?”

       Ning Junyan denied it expressionlessly, “I didn’t.”

       For a moment, Chen Yuncheng felt that he and Ning Junyan were back in their childhood, lying on the big wooden bed in the old house. He reached out and pinched Ning Junyan’s nose, and said with a smile, “You didn’t? It’s you.”

       Ning Junyan looked down at him, and after a moment of silence said, “Well, it’s me.”

       Chen Yuncheng felt very happy at once. He wrapped his arms around Ning Junyan’s neck, pulled him closer and kissed his lips, and whispered, “I like you so much.”

       After a while, Chen Yuncheng suddenly said, “How about introducing a girlfriend to Long Zhan Yu, is there any young female doctors or nurses who are mainly interested in looks when dating?”

       Ning Junyan replied casually, “How do I know?” He glanced at Chen Yuncheng, “Why didn’t you ask for Guan Anlin?”

       “Guan Anlin is still young, wait two years, let him save money and buy a house. Long Zhanyu is different, he has a house and is a civil servant, so it should be easier.”

       Ning Junyan looked at him and said nothing.

       Chen Yuncheng asked him with a smile, “What are you looking at me for?”

       Ning Junyan said, “You worry too much.”

       Chen Yuncheng did worry about a lot of things. He had been like this since he was a child, and he couldn’t change it anymore, he asked Ning Junyan, “Am I annoying?”

       Ning Junyan replied, “It’s okay, I’ll love you enough.”

       When Chen Yuncheng was about to go to bed, he went out to the living room to take a look and saw that Long Zhanyu was still sleeping soundly, and the quilt was well covered. He then came back to the bedroom and closed the door gently.

       The next morning, Ning Junyan was going to work, and his alarm clock sounded early in the morning. He reached out to find his mobile phone and turned off the alarm clock. He held Chen Yuncheng in his arms and had no intention of getting up.

       Chen Yuncheng shook his hand and said, “You’re gonna be late for work.”

       Ning Junyan remained motionless.

       Chen Yuncheng felt that he was born to worry about others, so he reached out and patted Ning Junyan’s face lightly, “Get up.”

       Ning Junyan closed his eyes, and said in a low and slurred voice, “Call me husband.”

       Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help laughing, “Aren’t you annoying? It’s none of my business if you get scolded by your director for being late.” Even if he could accept that Ning Junyan called him wife, he couldn’t call him husband no matter what.

       Ning Junyan lifted the quilt a little annoyed and got out of bed. He opened the closet, took out a clean shirt and trousers, put the shirt on, sat on the edge of the bed and put on his trousers, buttoning his trousers while going outside.

       Chen Yuncheng stopped him, “Get dressed before you go out, there is still a guest outside.”

       Ning Junyan stopped in his tracks as if he just remembered that there was someone sleeping on the sofa in the living room, and he said to Chen Yuncheng, “Come and button it for me.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him for a while, pushed back the quilt and got up, knelt on the bed and reached out to him, “Come here.”

       Ning Junyan walked over, and Chen Yuncheng carefully helped him button up his shirt one by one, and also zipped up his unzipped trousers, and patted him with a smile.

       At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly opened from the outside before Chen Yuncheng could take back his hand from Ning Junyan’s lower body, and the people inside and outside were all stunned for a moment.

       Long Zhanyu’s hair was dishevelled, and when he saw this scene, he subconsciously said, “fvck!” He then hurriedly apologised and reached out to close the door to the room.

       He didn’t mean to. He lay on the sofa and slept until dawn. He was really woken up by the need to urinate, and he stumbled up from the sofa, trying to find the bathroom. Originally, it was also the first time he came to Chen Yuncheng’s house yesterday, and he was not familiar with the location of the room, so he opened a door straight away before he sobered up from his hangover, and he ended up seeing the host’s family making out and flirting.

       Long Zhanyu stretched out his hand to press his forehead, his mind went blank for a moment before he felt the urge to urinate again and hurriedly turned to find the bathroom.

       When Long Zhanyu came out of the bathroom, he met Ning Junyan who was about to go in. When he saw Ning Junyan, he remembered the scene just now. He couldn’t help being a little embarrassed, but he concealed it well and nodded as a greeting.

       Ning Junyan looked calm, said “Morning”, passed Long Zhanyu and went into the bathroom.

       Long Zhanyu went back to the sofa and sat down, covered his face with his hands, raised his head and yawned, and didn’t put his hands down for a long time.

       Until Chen Yuncheng came out and asked him, “Do you want to sleep a little longer or go out for breakfast with me?”

       Long Zhanyu put down his hands and said, “Not sleepy anymore, let’s go eat.” After finishing speaking, he raised his head towards the bathroom, “What about you…?”

       Chen Yuncheng replied, “He goes to work early and goes to the hospital to eat.”

       Long Zhanyu nodded.

       Before Ning Junyan left, he kissed Chen Yuncheng’s lips.

       Long Zhanyu saw it but pretended he didn’t see anything. When he sat down with Chen Yuncheng in a small restaurant outside and waited to eat rice noodles, he asked Chen Yuncheng, “If I ask you a question about personal relationships, will you feel offended?”

       Chen Yuncheng held the chopsticks in his hand, and replied, “You can just ask, I don’t need to answer if I feel offended.”

       Long Zhanyu nodded, “When did you find out that you like men?”

       Chen Yuncheng thought for a while and said, “When I met him.”

       Long Zhanyu continued to ask, “Then before you met him, did you watch movies of men or women?”

       Chen Yuncheng did not answer.

       Long Zhanyu finally said, “Sorry, I asked too many questions.”
