19. The impossibility of a negotiation

Start from the beginning
                                    

Yuan Zong frantically pulled on a jacket while Xia Yao was drinking iced tea to cool down.

"Why are you here so late?"

"The deparment is full of tasks and missions, there was no free time. The reason why I am here is to have a discussion with you about your case. Whereas you might not be apart of the task force, the situation was too perilous and the criminals were aiming their firepower at the civilians, which could have led to calamity.

Under that circumstance, despite the fact that you shot and killed three suspects, your action could be seen as a reasonable means of protection. Therefore, you don't have to hold responsible before the court."

Yuan Zong just simply gave Xia Yao a puzzled look without any words.

Xia Yao was given a forced stare. In a blink of the eye, that gentle gesture made way for a more earnest attitude.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Yeah..." Yuan Zong showed no hint of sincerity in his reply.

Xia Yao didn't say a word. Both correspondingly lost in thought. Still, Yuan Zong's continual gaze seemed like an eternity, as if he was trying to catch a glance of every single hair on Xia Yao's skin.

Was it because of Yuan Zong's heroic act at that moment that Xia Yao no longer felt resentful and does not mind him staring like before?

Yuan Zong had his head in the clouds, his constant gaze settled on Xia Yao, then Xia Yao burst into laughters.

A laugh that made Yuan Zong's hardened heart miss a beat.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I can see that you are an experienced and wise man. So how about this? You and I can be friends. What do you think?"

Yuan Zong frankly reverted, "No!"

"Does - Does it have to really be like that? It doesn't have to be that kind of relationship, does it?"

"It does."

XianYao unwillingly held his anger back, replying to Yuan Zon, "Honestly, your feeling for me can be seen as sympathy. Sadly, you underrate it. I also have a brother like that. I always have him by my side. Only three days of seperation and -"

"Who!?"

Xia Yao gnashed his teeth in silence. So despicable! He still couldn't get the point of my words.

"Are you certain that you have affection for me? Are you getting me wrong? What evidence do you have to prove..."

"I want to have sex with you." (Pang! I got hit by a bullet. I mean...who in their right mind...Okay, so maybe only our Yuan Zong ^^)

"..."

Xia Yao eventually read between the line, he should not have provoked his compassion, he should not have gone to this place, he should not have use a so-called short-term memory, otherwise, he would not have come away with the shame that crept over his blushing face.

Yuan Ru came out from the bathroom, but Xia Yao had already disappeared.

"He's gone?" She asked Yuan Zong.

Yuan Zong nodded.

Yuan Ru pounced into Yuan Zong's embrace, emotional tears running down her face, "Big bro, you make me feel so touched. I've already decided to let him go, but you still treat him so well..." (If only you knew...)
