Qiu Xing held Xie Yang’s hand silently for a few seconds before confirming, “What time is your departure next week?”

"Wednesday at noon."

Qiu Xing nodded to show he understood. Then he got up, grabbed the dish on the other side, put it in front of Xie Yang and touched his head. "Eat."

Was this a pass? Xie Yang observed Qiu Xing's expression. This person wasn't happy but his expression wasn't particularly ugly. Xie Yang was relieved and picked up his chopsticks to continue eating.


In the blink of an eye, Wednesday arrived. Xie Yang got up early and checked his luggage again. Qiu Xing also got up and helped. This time, Xie Yang didn’t stop Qiu Xing from getting up early and helping.

Soon, the items packed were confirmed and the two of them went down for breakfast. After breakfast, Xie Yang went back to his room to change clothes. Qiu Xing followed and also changed clothes. 

It wasn’t the usual time for Qiu Xing to go to work. Xie Yang thought that Qiu Xing changed clothes because he wanted to take Xie Yang to the airport. Xie Yang saw this and took the initiative to help Qiu Xing put on a hat.

“It is winter and the cool boss has to keep warm.” Xie Yang helped Qiu Xing adjust the position of the hat and smiled. “Yes, it has a distinctive style.”

The evaluation was messy.

Qiu Xing pressed down on Xie Yang’s head, went to the dressing room and pulled out a big black suitcase. He told Xie Yang, “Let’s go.” 

Go…? Xie Yang’s gaze fell on the big suitcase in Qiu Xing’s hand and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He tentatively said, “This doesn’t seem to be my suitcase.”

Qiu Xing replied, “It’s mine.”

Xie Yang raised his eyes to look at Qiu Xing. “I thought it was an empty suitcase.”

Qiu Xing was calm. “It really was empty yesterday.” 

“……”

Xie Yang immediately understood. “When did you pack your bags?”

“When you were working in the study last night.”

Xie Yang made one last struggle. “Are you going on the business trip with me?” 

Qiu Xing had an expression that said ‘If you refuse, it will be a big problem’ as he asked, “I can’t?”

Xie Yang would definitely agree if it was an ordinary business trip but he had other purposes this time. He glanced at Qiu Xing’s face and then the hand that was holding the suitcase tightly. “Of course… you can. However, I have a request. Once abroad, you must adjust to the jet lag as soon as possible. You aren’t allowed to sleep less.”

Qiu Xing’s hand squeezing the handle of the suitcase relaxed slightly and he stepped toward Xie Yang. “I will.”

Xie Yang got in the car and finally remembered one thing. 

“What about Rongding if both of us are gone?”

“He Jun will look after it. He will connect to me remotely if there is a problem. It just so happens that this is a good opportunity to give those restless guys on the board a chance to test each other.”
