There was a person vaguely sitting on the sofa, but because the sofa had a high backrest and was located toward the inside, Xie Yang did not notice it after he entered the room. The corners of his mouth raised, then quickly lowered, and he said, "'Master Liao', why are you here?"

“…”

Qiu Xing stood up, walked around to the door and turned on all the lights in the room, then strode to Jie Yang.

Suddenly exposed to the light, Xie Yang squinted his eyes uncomfortably and raised his hand to press his eyebrows.

He was persuaded to drink a lot of wine during the dinner and was really a little drunk. Although he could use his special powers to purify all the alcohol smell, he was reluctant to do so. He wanted to save the special powers for the health of the mouse in front of him, which he might not see for the next few months. It could not be wasted.

Qiu Xing grabbed Xie Yang's hand that was pressing on his forehead, looked at Xie Yang's slightly drunk appearance with red eyes, and asked with obvious anger in his voice, "Headache? How much did you drink?"

"Not much, just a few bottles of beer, a few ounces of white wine, and half a glass of red wine."

Qiu Xing couldn't believe it: "You actually mixed it with other drinks?"

Xie Yang glanced at Qiu Xing and asked with a smile, "Why, is it not possible?"

Qiu Xing was stunned for a moment, then frowned and called out, "Jie Yang."

"Why, is it not okay?" Xie Yang asked again, pulling his hand back, tugging at the collar of his clothes, taking a few steps to the side and leaning against the armrest of the sofa, raising his chin and looking at Qiu Xing, "Is it not okay? I'm an adult, is it not okay for me to drink?"

"You're still growing—"

"I haven't grown any longer. My height has already been set since you were hiding and secretly working as 'Master Liao'." Xie Yang tugged at his collar again. Because he was drunk, his voice was much hoarser than usual and his pronunciation was a little soft. "Guess how tall I am now? Do you want to know? If I don't tell you, you deserve to miss the last moment of my adulthood."

Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang with his lips tightly pursed.

"This is just the beginning. You will miss more things about me in the future. Artists have to travel frequently. If I fire Wu Shui, you won't even be able to know where I am in real time."

Xie Yang took out his cell phone from his pocket, turned it on in front of Qiu Xing, then turned it off. He smiled again and said, "And this. As long as I turn this off, you won't be able to contact me anymore."

"Jie Yang." Qiu Xing took a step forward and grabbed Jie Yang's hand. He wanted to say something, but in the end he suppressed his words and said, "Don't be angry. You are drunk. I brought you some sobering tea. Drink some, then go take a shower and rest."

Xie Yang stopped smiling and looked at Qiu Xing expressionlessly.

Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang, then lowered his eyes to avoid Jie Yang's sight, reached out to help Jie Yang up, and said, "Don't lean like that, sit down, drink the sobering tea and go wash up--"

Xie Yang suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Qiu Xing. Because he was half-sitting on the armrest of the sofa, his head just rested on Qiu Xing's heart.

Qiu Xing froze for a while, then raised his hand and placed it on Jie Yang's shoulder. He didn't push him away, but he didn't hold him tight either.

"You're going to be fine, trust me."

Qiu Xing's hands on Jie Yang's shoulders suddenly tightened, then loosened slightly, trying to push Jie Yang away, saying: "Jie Yang, don't--"

"Even if you are not well, I hope you die in my arms. I don't want to wait for your funeral and not even be able to personally erect a tombstone for you as a family member." Xie Yang's tone was calm, but his words pierced people's hearts. "Qiu Xing, you must be mine whether you live or die."

Qiu Xing's fingertips trembled, and he tightened his hands on Jie Yang's shoulders again.

"Qiu Xing, are you willing to let me go?"

Qiu Xing pressed Jie Yang into his arms without leaving any trace.

Xie Yang smiled, leaned against Qiu Xing and continued, "Qiu Xing, what are you afraid of? I'm not afraid either. We'll all be widowed in the end anyway, so why don't you be more generous and leave me some good memories before you go? That way, when you leave, I can at least smile when I think of you."

“…”

The hand that Qiu Xing had placed on Jie Yang's shoulder had moved to the back of Jie Yang's shoulder at some point, and he half-hugged Jie Yang.

"And what if you get better? Your disease is not completely incurable." Xie Yang suddenly raised his head and met Qiu Xing's deep and dark eyes. "Let's take a gamble. I think you can win."

Qiu Xing did not respond, but just looked at Jie Yang.

Xie Yang pulled Qiu Xing down.

Qiu Xing froze for a moment, then lowered his head imperceptibly.

Xie Yang smiled and looked up at Qiu Xing.

Qiu Xing's eyes struggled, then he closed them as if in compromise, his body stiff as a stone.

When they were about to touch, Xie Yang suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to push Qiu Xing away, stood up sideways and left Qiu Xing's embrace, took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, unbuttoning his sleeves while saying: "It doesn't matter if you don't gamble, it doesn't matter if you continue to hide, and it doesn't matter if you don't keep your word. Yangxing has developed, and I will earn 500 million soon. When the time comes, I will return everything you gave me, and we will part ways. I'm tired of trading, I want to have a real relationship."

The cuffs are open, revealing the beautifully shaped wrists.

Xie Yang walked towards the small bedroom.

"I want to find someone who is frank and keeps his word. He will stay up late with me, will not use his mobile phone to monitor my movements, and will not fill me with 'spies'. I will drink with him and eat all kinds of delicious food with him. He will see all my appearances and share all the details of my life with him."

There were no footsteps behind him, and the floor-to-ceiling window in front reflected Qiu Xing's figure still standing beside the sofa.

Xie Yang retracted his gaze, turned into the small bedroom, and continued: "He will see all my appearances, happy, unhappy, with clothes on, without clothes -"

The footsteps approached quickly, and then everything went black. Jie Yang's hand that was about to push the bathroom door was grabbed, and then his body was pulled into a muscular embrace, with his head pressed hard against the other person.

"That's enough."

“…”

Xie Yang felt that this was not enough, and continued: "... He will see many different versions of me. When he and I sleep in the same bed, we will not just hold hands. He will soon know that I have a red mole on my waist. Maybe he will like it very much and can't let go of it——"

His face was held up forcefully and Qiu Xing approached, his expression could be described as ferocious.

Qiu Xing said patiently, "Jie Yang, don't make me angry."

Xie Yang raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with being angry? What are you going to do to me? You are just a coward-"

A shadow loomed, blocking all speech.

Xie Yang was forced to look up.

After a few seconds, Xie Yang closed his eyes.

…

The clumsy and fierce movements gradually became hesitant and stiff, and Xie Yang knew that Qiu Xing had calmed down. He deliberately raised his hands to hug Qiu Xing's back, and then bit him hard.

Qiu Xing’s body stiffened.

The smell of blood spread.

Xie Yang stepped back with satisfaction, touched the blood on his lips, wiped it all off on Qiu Xing's suit, and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I reek of alcohol. How could you have the heart to eat me?" After saying that, he wanted to turn around.

Qiu Xing instinctively grabbed Li Yang's waist.

Xie Yang stopped and looked down at the big hand on his waist.

"Haven't you taken advantage of me enough?" He tapped the numb tendon at Qiu Xing's elbow and broke free from Qiu Xing's grip. Then he suddenly raised his hand and touched Qiu Xing's ear, chuckling, "It's hot." Then he took a step back, went into the bathroom and closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, Qiu Xing stepped back and covered his lips.

Xie Yang suddenly opened the door again.

Qiu Xing quickly put down his hand and straightened his back.

"Go get me my pajamas."

Qiu Xing frowned.

"Go get it."

Qiu Xing paused, turned around and walked to the closet, found Jie Yang's pajamas and took them out.

"And the underwear. They're in the bottom drawer."

Qiu Xing froze, unable to extend his hand. He turned his head to look at Jie Yang, his voice hoarse and low, his tone strange, using anger to cover up his emotions: "You can't--"

"You just took advantage of me."

“…”

Qiu Xing opened the small drawer at the fastest speed in his life, pulled out a pair of underwear at random and stuffed it into his pajamas, then walked in front of Jie Yang, stuffed the pajamas into Jie Yang's arms, and turned around to leave.

"I'm drunk, if I fall in the shower..."

The hatred stopped.

Xie Yang laughed arrogantly and closed the door.

“…”

…

When Xie Yang came out of the shower, Qiu Xing was sitting on a chair by the window, pretending to be deep. Xie Yang glanced at Qiu Xing, then turned and walked to the closet, took out a new set of pajamas, bent down to open another drawer, pulled out a new pair of underwear, turned around and put them in Qiu Xing's arms, and said, "Go take a shower."

Two people who just kissed each other, one of them suddenly took the initiative to take a shower and asked the other person to take a shower as well...

Qiu Xing's Adam's apple slid twice quickly, and he refused with a cold face: "No, I'll go back to Rong——"

"Drunk people tend to vomit at night. If I accidentally vomit in the middle of the night and choke on the vomit—"

Qiu Xing glared at Jie Yang with a dark face: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Jie Yang shut up and gestured to the bathroom with his eyes.

Qiu Xing frowned and pursed his lips, glanced at the bathroom, then looked at Jie Yang, suddenly stood up and rubbed Jie Yang's hair hard, then turned around and strode into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, the bathroom door opened and Qiu Xing walked out with his pajamas buttoned up.

Xie Yang had already fallen asleep. He opened his eyes drowsily when he heard the sound, then turned over, buried his head in the pillow, and closed his eyes again.

After a dozen seconds of silence, the lights were turned off. After that, there was silence for another ten seconds, and finally, footsteps were heard approaching the bed. Finally, the mattress sank and someone lay down on it.

The bed in the small bedroom is not big, only about 1.5 meters. It is difficult for two adult men over 1.8 meters tall to avoid bumping into each other while lying on it. But apart from feeling the quilt move slightly, Xie Yang had no idea that there was another person next to him.

He closed his eyes and waited.

He didn't have to wait long. After more than a minute, an arm reached out. Instead of grabbing his hand, it boldly wrapped around his waist, locked him in the embrace, and then tightened it little by little.

"Jie Yang, you always find a way to drive me crazy."

Xie Yang did not move.

"At least as long as I'm alive...you can't belong to anyone."

Xie Yang turned over.

The person who had been holding him tightly just now immediately let go.

It turned out to be a mouse.

Xie Yang didn't move.

After a while, her body was hugged again, her hair was gently rubbed, and a kiss was placed on her forehead.

"good evening."

Xie Yang placed his fingers on Qiu Xing's pajamas and slowly penetrated his supernatural power.

good evening.

A dreamless night.

Xie Yang woke up early because he had to catch a flight. When he woke up, he was still in Qiu Xing's arms, and Qiu Xing was sleeping soundly because he had absorbed too many supernatural powers at once.

Xie Yang tried to sit up and get out of bed.

Qiu Xing suddenly frowned and exerted force with his arms.

Xie Yang stopped his actions, and after Qiu Xing calmed down again, he raised his hand and touched Qiu Xing's forehead, sending all the supernatural powers he had recovered after a night's sleep into Qiu Xing's body, until he felt the pain of exhaustion from his supernatural power core, and then he withdrew his hand.

The arm around his waist slowly relaxed, and Jie Yang successfully got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When preparing to go out, Xie Yang looked back at Qiu Xing lying on the bed, thought for a moment, then walked back, looked Qiu Xing up and down, curled his lips, lifted the quilt, stripped Qiu Xing's clothes and threw them on the ground, then crumpled up his own clothes and threw them on the ground, finally covered Qiu Xing with the quilt and patted Qiu Xing on the forehead.

"Let's see how you can hide this time."

After doing all this, he left the room with light steps. After going out, he called Zhou Miao and Liu Sha respectively, asking them to come over and protect the cheating President Rongding back to Rongding.
