late at night.

The bright moon hangs high in the treetops, and light snow is falling from the sky.

Xiao He sat on the rooftop looking at the sea, with Wang Xuefeng silently keeping him company.

"peak."

"Um?"

Do you think I look like a girl?

"..."

"picture?"

"..."

"Doesn't look like it?"

"I don't know," the latter replied.

Xiao He stood up, knelt down in front of him, and asked, "I'm serious, does it look like him?"

Wang Xuefeng remained silent for a while: "Sometimes it's like that, sometimes it's not."

"For example, right now?"

"It doesn't seem like it now."

Xiao He got up again, but without saying a word, he snuggled into his arms.

The latter was taken aback, and instinctively opened his arms to catch it: "What?!"

Does it look like it now?

"..."

Wang Xuefeng fell silent again, but this time he was clearly thinking for a longer time than before.

"It doesn't seem like it either."

Xiao He frowned in confusion: "It doesn't seem like it either?"

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Wang Xuefeng asked, puzzled.

Xiao He swallowed hard, seemingly bewildered himself.

"Then? You said sometimes it's like... when is this 'sometimes'?" Xiao He looked at him for a long time before finally deciding to ask.

Wang Xuefeng lowered his head slightly, as if responding to his gaze. At the same time, the arms behind his waist gradually tightened.

Xiao He was taken aback. Feeling this cared-for feeling again, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

“It was at this moment,” Wang Xuefeng finally said.

Xiao He was completely stunned.

My mind involuntarily drifted back to my casual conversation with Jinling, and it seemed that what she said made some sense.

"Why do you suddenly want to be a girl?" Wang Xuefeng asked.

“Because that’s what I am right now,” Xiao He replied absentmindedly.

"Is time too tight?" Wang Xuefeng noticed his worry. "How about we leave now? To the capital, I'll find a way to unlock your handcuffs, and we can upgrade as soon as possible?"

Xiao He shook his head and simply buried his face in his arms.

"I don't want to be so tired... I want to rest..."

Listening to this muttered complaint, Wang Xuefeng finally realized that he truly didn't have much time left, and these words were just excuses. Sensing his low spirits, guilt and self-reproach welled up in his heart.

"sorry……"

Xiao He couldn't hear his thoughts, but he felt his arms tighten around him, which felt incredibly warm in the cold, snowy night.

"It seems like being a girl wouldn't be so bad?"

Why do you say that?

“At least when I was a boy, no one except my mother ever held me like this.” Xiao He couldn’t help but chuckle.

"...What kind of reason is that?" Wang Xuefeng couldn't help but laugh.

"But can you really treat me like a girl?" Xiao He was still puzzled.

After all, the two had always been very close, so it's hard to imagine how Wang Xuefeng's mindset kept switching back and forth.

“Sometimes I can’t, sometimes I can.” Wang Xuefeng’s smile remained unchanged.

"Like now?"

"Not now."

Xiao He was speechless: "No, why are you hugging her so happily?"

"A conflict?" Wang Xuefeng grinned, unable to suppress his teasing smile.

"Goodness, you want to push your limits again, huh?" Xiao He narrowed his eyes.

"Hey—no, no, no! You're injured, don't move!" Wang Xuefeng quickly stopped him.

Seeing his helpless and embarrassed appearance, Xiao He paused for a moment, and then suddenly felt relieved.

It seems that no matter what mindset they have, it doesn't affect their relationship.

Whether he was a boy or a girl, his attitude remained the same.

Why bother with that?

Xiao He couldn't help but laugh. He was about to reach out and play a prank when he aggravated the wound on his shoulder and gasped in shock.

"Hey, I told you not to move around!" Wang Xuefeng's smile faded a bit, and he pulled him back into his arms, patting his back like he was coaxing a child.

"Alright, go and get some rest. I'll keep watch."

Xiao He did not speak or resist, and seemed to have obediently fallen asleep.

Since he was old enough to understand, Wang Xuefeng was the first person he had ever been so close to; even his sister had never been so in sync with him.

"What exactly is he to me... my partner...? I don't know..."

"Actually, any relationship is fine... as long as he's there..."

Wang Xuefeng softened his breathing, as if afraid of disturbing the person in his arms.

It was rare to see Xiao He so quiet and unassuming; he was deeply moved!

Finally, I can hold her comfortably without having to endure that inhuman torture...

What he never said was that holding this petite and soft body was truly addictive!

From the very first day I landed, on the way to the Fifth Branch Hospital, that casual, unintentional gesture made it clear that this addiction was destined to be hard to break...

I feel so content just to give him a hug!

Unfortunately, Xiao He was a ruthless man; the price to pay for "a hug" was a bit too high...

Wang Xuefeng sighed softly and took the opportunity to lightly peck him on the forehead.

Sensing his rising emotions, Wang Xuefeng couldn't help but smile.

However, Xiao He couldn't help but roll his eyes and ask in an annoyed tone, "Why the forehead?"

"I can't handle anything else," Wang Xuefeng admitted.

"When will you be able to stabilize?"

"...it can never be stable."

For most of the week, the two of them really didn't go anywhere and just lived in this small fishing village by the sea in Erlan.
