By the time Wang Yibo opened his eyes again, morning had arrived. He twisted his body as he wrinkled his eyes in an attempt to clear the heaviness; that chair had been quite uncomfortable to spend the night.

Once he sat up he shook his head slightly, he felt a little dizzy due to sleep, so he just waited for this feeling to disappear.

As he did so he thought about the things that had happened the night before. His ears were dyed red again as he remembered the audacity he had committed in stealing a kiss. from the sleeping Zhan.

He rubbed his face in frustration, he felt ashamed of his performance. He couldn't stop thinking that he had taken advantage of the trust Zhan had given him and had acted in a way that he considered reprehensible.

He looked around the entire place until he stopped at the door that led to his room. Now there was no turning back, he had to face reality.

For the first time Wang Yibo felt fear, he used to boast to his friends that he was not afraid of anything but right at that moment he was scared at the idea that that young black- haired man had realized what had happened. He was afraid to face him and see a reaction from him that would end up breaking his heart.

Filling up with courage, he stood up from his place and walked towards the door, his hand paused in the air for a few seconds before giving several light knocks to the door.

- Zhan?- He knocked softly.- Can I come in?- He waited for a response.- Zhan?...- He knocked again.- I'm coming in.

The door opened and a fearful Yibo slowly poked his head out, he did not want to burst into the place prematurely. It didn't matter that this was now his home, for him people's privacy was very important.

He observed the entire place, he examined everything cautiously, the curtains were still closed but he could clearly see what was on the bed. There was his beloved turtle sleeping peacefully on one of his pillows.

The dog took shelter between the sheets and dozed like every morning, he was alone in that place.

Yibo entered out of curiosity, the person he expected to see in that place was no longer there. Zhan was gone.

- We have already reviewed all these recordings.- The young officer stopped in front of the desk.- Why are you watching them again?

- Perhaps we do not have an exact description of this criminal. - Officer Volkov frowns slightly while observing the images. - But looking at these recordings again, something is very clear to me.

- What is that? - He took a seat.

- This person...- He pointed to the screen.- He must have some type of gymnast experience.

- Excuse me?- He didn't seem to understand.

- From the way he maneuvers, from the way he moves with such agility and ease I can tell that this guy has some kind of special training. He must be linked to some type of artistic activity.

- An acrobat? - He crossed his arms.

- Or a dancer.- He turned the screen towards his subordinate.- In the first recordings I didn't notice it, after I looked at them again something caught my attention.- He pointed to the screen.- Look at his posture, the use he gives to his extremities. You can tell that he is someone who has been subjected to a strict training regimen.- He drew a half smile.- Not everyone can adopt a perfect posture and the majority of those who do so because they have been trained in some of these aforementioned activities.
