Wuxie woke up to the knocking sound on the door. He sat up on the bed, the blanket still wrapped around him. He had only his pants on as he preferred to sleep half-naked regardless of what weather it is. He stretched his hands to either side and moved his head round and round.

"Open the door Wuxie. It must Pangzi."

That voice came from the bathroom. Wuxie tried hard to open his eyes and his hands moving around the bed to find his phone. He got his phone from under the blanket. The screen showed 8.05 in the morning.

"So, he is awake for 1 and half hours and didn't wake me up," Wuxie muttered and then a big smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Hua my lovely friend... Thanks for letting me sleep. I'm touched." He laughed.

"Shut up and open the door already." Xiao Hua yelled from the bathroom.

Wuxie walked towards the door and opened it to see the chubby policeman standing there with a wide smile on his face and two coffee cups in both hands.

"Good morning"

"Morning, morning. Come in."

Pangzi handed over a cup to Wuxie which he accepted happily.

"Xie Yuchen?" Pangzi asked for which Wuxie answered only by pointing towards the bathroom.

Wuxie put the coffee on the table and picked up the shirt from the chair near the bed. He wore the shirt which was the same one he wore yesterday. He buttoned the shirt leaving the two on top and sat on the bed taking the coffee mug back. He gestured for Pangzi to sit on the chair.

"Did you get a good sleep?"

"Well... my neck," Wuxie said rubbing his neck. The discomfort was evident from his frowning face.

"I'm sorry about this. It was already midnight and I never imagined there will be a problem with the quarters." Pangzi said in a low voice.

"No one did Pangzi," Wuxie said in a comforting tone. "Will it be ready for tonight?"

"No. The waterpipes have severe damages. And there is no more villa available for our department. But don't worry, the police chief informed us that their quarters are available."

"Okay. That's good." Wuxie was sure irritated but didn't ask more so as not to let the other stress over it.

"It sure is inconvenient. I'm sorry I didn't check it earlier." Pangzi said

"Don't be sorry. And you did invite us to your home. It's us who didn't take the offer." Wuxie gives Pangzi a smile guaranteeing him they were okay.

"It's not like we had to sleep on the street. It's good enough we got a room. We can't ask for luxury when we are in this field." Xiao Hua said coming out of the bathroom.

With him coming out a pleasant smell spread all over the room. Wuxie looked at Xiao Hua surprisingly. He checked himself and the other.

"That's not fair. Look at you. It's like you are staying in a 5-star hotel." Wuxie walked to Xiao Hua with a pouty face. He took a walk around Xiao Hua who came out of the bathroom fresh and completely ready. He took a bath. The smell of bathing soap was filled around him and not to mention how his already pretty face was glowing. He too was wearing the same dress as yesterday. Wuxie sniffed him and was surprised by the sweet rose smell.
