This night, Qi Le’an didn’t fall asleep. And he knew that Wei Changfeng, who was holding him, had not slept all night too.

It was near dawn that Qi Le’an began to feel drowsy. He was half asleep when he heard the sound of his phone and immediately woke up.

Wei Changfeng, who was holding him, moved and reached for Qi Le’an’s phone.

Qi Le’an turned on the screen and entered the password, but he found that it was just an ad from Weibo. He put the phone aside, turned around, and buried his head in Wei Changfeng’s arms.

Wei Changfeng patted Qi Le’an gently and softly, seemingly trying to give him some strength.

Day at last dawned, and Qi Le’an’s head was heavy. He got out of bed and wanted to take a bath. Wei Changfeng looked at him with concern and said, “Shower together?”

Qi Le’an smiled and said, “We won’t be able to go out today if we do so.”

Wei Changfeng also smiled. Qi Le’an kissed him and then walked into the bathroom with his clothes for change.

Hearing the sound of running water in the bathroom, Wei Changfeng sighed and turned on his phone.

There were several messages from Sheng Chang’an on the phone.

[For now, they are targeting only one person. If you can’t handle it well, both of you are going to have problems.]

[Are you sure you want to get involved?]

Wei Changfeng lowered his head and replied with two words.

Qi Le’an took a long bath in the bathroom. Every time something happened to him, he wanted to find water, and only in water could he find peace. He stood quietly under the shower for a long time when Wei Changfeng suddenly knocked at the door.

“Le’an? I need to use the toilet.”

Qi Le’an turned off the water and wrapped it in a towel, and he opened the door for Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng looked at the dripping Qi Le’an and said to him, “My sister asked us to go to her house for breakfast. She said she made sweet dumplings last night. Shall we go there together later?”

Qi Le’an was in a bathrobe, holding the clean clothes he had just brought in, and said, “Okay.”

Wei Xin’an was not as talented as Wei Changfeng in cooking, but she was good at learning and always liked to cook up some delicious food by herself.

After hearing the thing about his brother and Qi Le’an from Sheng Chang’an, she felt quite sorry for them. So she asked Wei Changfeng to bring Qi Le’an home to have breakfast in the morning.

Wei Xin’an made fine meals. The sticky rice was brought from the south and the black sesame was newly collected from Jiangxi this year. She had been busy all night to provide her brother and his lover with a good meal this morning.

After Wei Changfeng freshened up, he drove to Sheng Chang’an’s residence with Qi Le’an. As soon as they entered the door, Wei Xin’an started to cook the sweet dumplings. Wei Changfeng wandered about the kitchen for a while and started to make fried steamed buns for everyone.

Sheng Chang’an was still in the study. Wei Xin’an smiled at Qi Le’an and said, “Brother Sheng has a transoceanic meeting. He’ll be out in a minute. By the way, how is Georgia? Back then, I wanted to go there with Brother Sheng too… ”

Qi Le’an immediately took out his phone to show Wei Xin’an the photos, and the two men huddled together and chatted. Wei Changfeng saw this scene when he came out of the kitchen and laughed, “What are you talking about?”
