More than two hours later, Qiu Xing’s body moved. Xie Yang quickly locked his mobile phone and hid it under the pillow. Then he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The mattress moved and Xie Yang found that Qiu Xing’s hands on him had loosened. The hair on his forehead was pulled and a few seconds later, his lips were itchy. 

Xie Yang opened his eyes. “Mouse.”

“……”

Qiu Xing stiffly leaned back. He faced Xie Yang’s gaze and wanted to get up using his arm as support. Xie Yang’s quick eyes noticed it and he grabbed Qiu Xing, turning from passive to active behaviour.

The atmosphere was once again on the verge of spiralling out of control. 

Xie Yang pinched Qiu Xing’s ear.

Qiu Xing’s Adam’s apple moved quickly and he finally couldn’t help it. He raised his hand to hold Xie Yang, turning this person over to be ‘bullied.’ Xie Yang sensed Qiu Xing’s change and retreated decisively. He got out of bed, tidied up his clothes and told Qiu Xing, “I have to take photos of my clothes and accessories for Qin Cheng. I will be going first.” Then he picked up his things and strode away.

Bang!

The door was closed.

Qiu Xing stayed half-leaning on the bed where he was pushed away by Xie Yang. Then he raised a hand to cover his eyes, took a deep breath and hit the pillow.

“…Bad thing who bears grudges!”

***

Xie Yang did bear grudges and he never forgot anything. 

At breakfast, Xie Yang suddenly asked, “Are you busy today?”

Qiu Xing was absent-mindedly eating breakfast. He kept peeking at Xie Yang. Now he opened his mouth, pretending to be casual but actually putting down his chopsticks quickly. “Some documents need to be approved but I’m not too busy. Why? Where do you want to go? I can—”

“It’s just right that you have time. Let’s go get the divorce process done in the afternoon.”

“……” 

Qiu Xing slowly reached out, took a tissue and wiped his mouth. The he changed his sitting posture and said, "I remember... we haven't gone to see Mom for a long time. Let's go to the sanatorium when we are finished today and tell her about my treatment. We can talk about the divorce later. Eat well." Qiu Xing finished speaking and got up to leave. It was as if he was afraid that Xie Yang would drag him to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce if he moved slowly.


Xie Yang deliberately raised his voice. “If not today then tomorrow…”

Qiu Xing walked faster and his figure soon disappeared. Xie Yang stopped speaking. He finally felt comfortable and smiled. After breakfast, Xie Yang went to Yang Xing to have a simple meeting with the company’s senior executives. Then he chatted with Qin Cheng alone after the meeting.

“The hot search you sent me was gone by the time I got up to look at it. The Weibo post from the musician has also been deleted.”
