- Boss.- Xiao Ce gently shook the officer's shoulder.- Boss.

- What?.- He opened his eyes.- Are you not going to call me by my name anymore?.- Не stretched out his arms.

- That happened in the heat of the moment.- He lowered his gaze.- I really have to apologize for my actions but above all...for the slap.

- It's okay.- He sat up on the couch.- It was something I deserved.

- It's late.- He looked at his watch.- You fell asleep while we were talking. It would be better if you went to bed.

- Yes...- He sighed.- I actually feel exhausted.

- Then rest. Tomorrow I will make sure to let our superiors know that you will be taking a break.

- Won't it be hard for you to do all the work?

- It'll actually be quieter without you pressing on our necks.- He chuckled.

- Then... I'll count on you.

- You can be sure that we will do things right.- He patted his shoulder gently.- Now go to sleep.- He stirred when the older man took his hand.

- Could you stay?

- No....- He withdrew his hand.- I think it's better if I go home.

- Okay.- He nodded and stood up.- Thanks for accompanying me.

- .......- He stared at him.

- I think I'll go to sleep now.

Xiao Ce didn't recognize the man in front of him, he was totally different from the usual Volkov. Under other circumstances, if he had refused to stay, he would have found a way to force him or imprison him just to make him stay, but the Yunian he saw now had a calm attitude that was somewhat strange for his personality.

There was no doubt about it, his superior, that strong and brave man who didn't mind facing thousands of battles and who was capable of facing even an entire pack was now exhausted. He had reached his limit and this was a sad thing to see. In the end, all the weight placed on his shoulders ended up taking its toll.

The strong man who had once been able to carry the world on his back now found himself weak and tired.

- Yunian.- He called causing the older one to turn around.

- Yeah?

- I'll stay.- He stood up and walked towards him.- I'll keep you company.- He took his hand.- If what you want is to sleep until your body hurts then do it, I'll be with you.

- Thank you.- His eyes turned watery.

- Now, let's go to bed.- He pulled him towards the bedroom.

- You are definitely the best.- Zhan gave two thumbs up.- You have improved surprisingly in such a short time.

- Thanks to a great teacher.- Yibo walked towards the black-haired man.

- No, all this merit is yours.- He smiled.

- I just want your show to be perfect.- With his right arm he surrounded Zhan's waist.- Because I know that's what will make you happy.

- I've never told you this before, but that's something I really like about you. - He looked him in the eyes. - That considerate way you have, your details. That gift you have of making people feel good with simple actions or words. I really love it.
