Chapter 121: The Secret In Your Eyes Part 1

Twilight blankets the sky; as if wearing a veil of duskiness. The lights in the room are bright. Qin Wen Long, the Black Shield Team, Xu Si Bai and other criminal investigators are all concentrated in staring at the screen. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

L finishes dancing very soon. But it makes everyone even quieter.

Qin Wen Long inhales his cigarette twice deeply, "Let's hear it. What do you guys think?"

"Psychopath!" Chatterbox is the first to speak, "This is a clear provocation. This makes me so worked up!"

The other investigators nod. Xiao Zhuan also says loudly, "These few people are already crazy!"

Xu Si Bai is sitting beside Su Mian quietly. She doesn't have any expression on her face, only her eyes look a bit cold.

Han Chen is still unconscious, so the Black Shield Team is currently under the commands of Qin Wen Long. He inhales from the cigarette a few more times before putting it out and tossing it away. He stands up, "What we're up against this time are the most fierce and cunning criminals. Chatterbox, bring a team with you to search the city to find this alleyway. Cold Face, continue to take charge in searching for them. I don't believe that we won't be able to catch them!"

_____

Even though Qin Wen Long ended his statement with ruthless words, these three people are too cunning. The alleyway in the video is anything but unique; there are probably over a hundred of them that looks exactly the same. Therefore, they haven't made any progress even up until night time.

Su Mian drags her exhausting body to the dormitory and pushes open the door to her apartment. She spots Han Chen lying on the single bed right away. He's sleeping deeply with her yellow floral blanket laying on top of him.

He still hasn't woken up yet.

The Black Shield Team was ordered to return to the station for a meeting when they were at the hospital this morning. She insisted the officers help her carry him back here.

It's because they promised that they would never be away from each other more than the sound of the whistle.

She sits beside the bed, picks up his hand and kisses on it, "Han Chen, why haven't you woken up yet? Promise me that when you wake up, you won't feel upset. I know that you only look cool on the outside, but you're actually an introvert who likes to bury everything in your heart. You think that's very manly of you, right?"

Although today's case weighs down one's heart, she is a lively person nonetheless. She says a bunch of things to him while showing her affection, but he still doesn't wake up. She begins to feel bored and starts to talk about nonsense:

"……this single bed doesn't look too cramped to me, hehheh, we only use the space of one person every time we sleep here anyway.

Speaking of which, this floral blanket you're using is quite nice. It's got an enchanting quality to it. It's even more enchanting than me.

Han Chen, hurry and wake up, will you? If you wake up, I'll……"

She leans over to his ear, "I'll do what you want to do."

He still doesn't budge; not even his eyelashes twitched. His handsome face is still like a statue. She sighs and murmurs to herself, "I'll go sleep on the couch then."

She turns around and just when she's about to leave, she feels a grip on her wrist. Someone is grabbing on it.

Su Mian's heart skips a beat. She turns her head and sees Han Chen opening his eyes slowly. The lights reflect on his eyes. They're dark and dense and staring directly at her.

"You were pretending to be sleeping!" Su Mian throws herself into his embrace happily. He hugs her with a hint of a smile flashing across his eyes.

"There was a noisy woman," he says unhurriedly, "I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to."

Su Mian laughs, "Hehheh," while lying across his chest. He's still wearing a patient's gown from the hospital, but smelling his familiar and subtle scent makes her happy.

She reaches out her hand and feels his forehead and neck. She then asks, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" It won't be good if he has any side effects from the concussion.

He grabs her hand, flips himself around to be on top of her. His voice is deep and carries a sense of laziness, "I've slept all day, so I'm full of energy."

Between the most intimate couple, when something happens, there's no need for words to console or explain. As for her worries about him being upset, he heard them loud and clear. At this moment, he's back to being his usual young master. He follows the contours of her body and plant kisses all over her.

He enters her but his movements are especially gentle. His eyes are also especially calm. Su Mian wraps her arms around his waist and is still blabbing nonstop to him. He's also leaning close to her ear and responding to her softly. They show their affections for each other and spend half a night like this without knowing.

……

The sky is still dark when Su Mian wakes up with a startle. She takes a look at the alarm clock on the bedside: 4 am.

Han Chen is still in deep sleep beside her with one of his arms around her waist and her body has his unique scent.

She smiles slightly, turns her body to move closer to his chest, closes her eyes, and sleeps again. But the image of L dancing is just like a dream that replays continuously in her head.

She can't sleep.

She tosses and turns for a while. Not wanting to wake Han Chen, she gets up, puts on a jacket, pushes open the door, and goes outside for some fresh air.

It's probably almost winter.

The dark blue sky looks like a thick layer of velvet, weighing down above their heads. The moon and stars aren't that bright; like the future that they can't see clearly.

She grabs onto the railing and breathes out slowly. She turns around and sees another person standing in the shadows on the other end of the hallway. There's a red light illuminated between the person's fingers; the person is smoking.

It's the middle of the night, so it startles her a bit.

That person speaks lightly, "Jin Xi?"

Ah? It's actually Xu Si Bai.

_____

After knowing each other for so many years, it's the first time Su Mian sees Xu Si Bai smoking. He's also wearing his pajamas with a brown jacket on. Watching him hold the cigarette between his slender fingers and his refine and fair white side profile, he looks very natural. She can't help but take a few more glances at him.

He's smoking a pack of Marlboro; a very common brand. The long and lean cigarette accents his gentleness.

He tilts his head to look at her and says with his eyes carrying a smile, "What's the matter? You want to smoke?" He fetches for the box of cigarette from his pocket and taps one out for her.

Su Mian indeed wants to smoke, but there's still a certain someone lying in bed at home right now. She smiles waving her hand and asks, "Why aren't you sleeping when it's so late at night? Why have you come out to smoke?"

He lowers his head and inhales from the cigarette. He says calmly, "I don't know why but I just can't fall asleep."

Su Mian can't be sure if his inability to sleep and smoking has anything to do with herself. She simply nods, "Mm, I can't sleep either. I keep thinking about that video in my head and it just makes me nervous."

Xu Si Bai turns to look at her. His pupils are pitch black and clear.

They're full of their usual determination.

"I will always protect you," he says slowly, "just like him."

Su Mian is a bit stunned. She smiles quickly and turns her head to look to the front, "Don't always think about me. Same goes for you. You must protect yourself well. Don't forget, once we crack the case, we're going to your place for dinner. Oh, I've been wanting to have hotpot. Do you know how to make it?"

He stares at her quietly for a while and then turns his head to look at the night sky as well. He answers lightly, "I've never made hotpot before, but I can learn it."

"Learn it well then. Your cooking is so good, so you must make it as good as Chongqing Hotpot."

"Mm, sure." 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚
