Ch44 - Interview

“Ting Ting?”

Li Zhao was aware that Yan Ting’s eyes were somewhat blurred like he couldn’t find his focus. He heard that sometimes people living a life of high pressure couldn’t distinguish dreams from reality. Was Yan Ting in this state? 

Thinking of this, he didn’t dare shout at Yan Ting. He carefully held the staircase, trying to prevent Yan Ting from falling down before dragging him back.

“I’m fine.” Yan Ting’s voice was hoarse and clearness gradually returned to his eyes.

Li Zhao looked at the place where Yan Ting had been looking. There was nothing but he felt that Yan Ting’s eyes… contained some sadness.

“You stand here and don’t move.” Li Zhao turned back to get a pair of slippers. “Put on your shoes.” 

Yan Ting put on his shoes and saw Li Zhao running downstairs to grab a glass of water.

“The water temperature is just fine. Take a sip.” Li Zhao saw Yan Ting take the cup and drink the water. Only then did he completely put down his worries. “Rest early. Tomorrow we will buy the new year’s goods.”

The warm water warmed his heart. Yan Ting looked at Li Zhao’s messy hair and nodded slightly. He thought Li Zhao would continue to ask but Li Zhao didn’t say anything. He swirled the cup in his hand and the water shook slightly. “Good night.”

“Good night.” Li Zhao had a thought. “Your work pressure is good. Although it is normal for people to work hard when they’re young, you have two buildings. Nothing is more important than your body.”

After saying this, he found that Yan Ting’s eyes became deeper and Li Zhao scratched his head in a somewhat uncomfortable manner.

“Thank you, I know.” Yan Ting took another sip of the water.

“Thank you.” Li Zhao hit Yan Ting’s chest with his elbow and yawned. “I’ll go get a cup of water before going to sleep.”

Last night he had eaten a bit too much. He woke up in the middle of the night and hadn’t expected to find Yan Ting standing in the middle of the corridor in a dazed manner. After drinking water, Li Zhao went back to his room, wrapped the quilt around his body and fell asleep. 

The water in the cup gradually cooled down and Yan Ting placed the cup at the head of his bed.

“Sir.” A bodyguard stood in front of Yan Ting. “Mr Li came by accident and didn’t see anything.”

There was a dead silence in the room.

After a long time. 

“I know.” Yan Ting closed his eyes. “All of you go out.”

He liked the quiet and hated people around him to make any noise. The bodyguards had long been used to his hobby and left the room.

There wasn’t the slightest bit of drowsiness. Yan Ting opened his eyes, his eyes clear. He had no sleepiness at all.

The night was still long. He sat quietly on the sofa and didn’t change his sitting position for ages. It wasn’t until the sky was light and morning light entered through the gap in the window that Yan Ting slowly stood up. He opened the door and the corridor outside was quiet. Li Zhao’s door was closed and it was unknown how sweetly the person inside was sleeping.
