“Ah Xing, can I go to sleep? I’m so sleepy.”

Qiu Xing immediately turned around and the coldness on his face dissipated. He moved forward to help pull the quilt up around Xie Yang. “Go to sleep. I will guard you.”

The police officer hurriedly spoke. “Wait a minute, Mr Xie. You have to do the transcript.”

Xie Yang controlled his expression in time and smiled at the police officer before Qiu Xing could do anything. “Yes, then I will go to sleep later. Ah Xing, I’m a bit hungry. Can you go get me something to eat?”

Qiu Xing now only listened to Xie Yang and only Xie Yang could comfort him. He nodded, glanced sideways at the police officer and got up to find Wu Shui who was guarding outside the ward to arrange food.

The doctor saw that he was busy and went out. There were only two people left in the ward. Xie Yang looked at the police officer in an embarrassed manner. “Sorry, my lover is a bit too nervous.”

“It’s fine. I understand, I understand.” The police officer walked to the bed and took out a notebook and pen. “Then… start?”

Xie Yang nodded.

Only a few sentences of the transcript had been written when Qiu Xing came back. He sat on the other side of the bed and stared at the police officer sternly.

The police officer, “……”

“Ah Xing, I want to drink soy milk.”

Qiu Xing watched Xie Yang before getting up and leaving again. The policeman sighed with relief. Then he met Xie Yang’s eyes and became embarrassed. “It…it is terrible when your lover is cold… no, I mean you really have a good relationship.”

Xie Yang smiled.

The transcript continued and the officer deliberately sped up the questioning.

During this period, Qiu Xing and Wu Shui delivered the soy milk and food. Xie Yang ate while talking to the policeman. By the time he finished eating, the transcript was almost finished.

The police officer gradually let go and no longer cared about Qiu Xing’s gaze. Once the transcript was finished, he became afraid and sighed. “Tao Yang’s psychological quality is really terrifying. He was a bit excited when he was arrested yesterday. By the time he got in the car, he was completely calm and denied trying to hurt you. It was only when the symptoms of poisoning appeared that he took the initiative to confess to the poisoning in order to keep his hands. He said the name of the poison but later it was found that his symptoms don’t quite match. The doctor suspects that the poison he used was contaminated. In order to have a sample for the doctor to test, Tao Yang explained where the injection needle was hidden. Otherwise, we might not have found the evidence that he tried to intentionally kill someone. You might not believe it but in such a short time, he actually stuffed the small injection needle into the hem of a passing guest’s clothes. The surveillance camera didn’t even capture him moving his hands.”

Xie Yang was surprised but also not surprised.

The surprise was that the effect caused by his ability twisted things and caused Tao Yang to confess. Not surprisingly, Tao Yang had arranged everything cautiously. It was no wonder why he dared to insist that he would only be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years.

The quiet Qiu Xing suddenly looked at the police officer. “Did you just boast about a murderer?”

“……”

The police officer immediately suppressed all his emotions and stood up. “Thank you Mr Xie for your cooperation. Then I will leave first. I wish you a speedy recovery.”

Xie Yang nodded and watched the police officer ‘fleeing’. Then he looked over at Qiu Xing. “Why are you so fierce to the policeman? This isn’t right.”

“…I wasn’t fierce.” Qiu Xing adjusted his expression and sat down by the bed, grabbing Xie Yang’s hand. “Are you full? I didn’t ask Wu Shui to buy too much. You will feel uncomfortable when sleeping if you eat too much.”

“The amount you had Wu Shui buy was just the right amount. Ah Xing.”

Qiu Xing looked at Xie Yang with an expression that said ‘what else do you want? Just ask’.

“I want to go home.” Xie Yang squeezed Qiu Xing’s hand and watched Qiu Xing who had dark circles because he stayed up late. “I can’t sleep here and I want you to hold me to sleep.”

Qiu Xing got up along with the words, “Yes, let’s go home.”

***

Qiu Xing called Feng Qinglin to follow up with Tao Yang’s matters and returned home with Xie Yang.

Once home, Qiu Xing stared as Xie Yang washed up. Then he quickly washed himself and went to bed. He held Xie Yang in his arms and kissed Xie Yang’s forehead. “Go to sleep.”

Xie Yang stared up at Qiu Xing and hugged him. Then he lowered his head and closed his eyes, habitually letting his ability ‘nibble’ at the last piece of fragment in the energy core.

The messy data that he had seen countless times started to pop up in his mind. Xie Yang was planning for Qiu Xing to fall asleep before going to sleep himself. However, he didn’t know what was going on this time but a heavy sleepiness surged within him.

Xie Yang fell asleep before he even had time to resist.

30 minutes later, Qiu Xing abruptly opened his eyes from where he was holding Xie Yang. He looked down at the way Xie Yang was sleeping and carefully withdrew his arms to get up. He pulled the quilt over Xie Yang and watched this person for a while before grabbing his phone and leaving the room.

He had Master Liao and two bodyguards protect Xie Yang and went out again. The moment Qiu Xing got in the car, he called Feng Qinglin and asked, “Have you done what I asked you to do?”
