"Nanyi, what's wrong with you?" It was the first time Xia Zeqi saw his difficult expression, and he didn't care about anything else and quickly held his hand.

So that's it, that’s how it was. Xin Nanyi still remembered the day when he returned to his car and turned around to see the bloody scene on the back seat. He still remembered the feeling of powerlessness he felt at the police station and in court when he couldn't defend himself. Those nightmares still invaded him while he was sleeping from time to time, and he could not get rid of them even if he lived another life.

He spent countless nights in that cage thinking about what mistakes he had made to deserve such a severe punishment.

It turned out that's the case.

As soon as Xin Nanyi came back to his senses, he saw a nervous Xia Zeqi stared at him.

"Nanyi, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xin Nanyi smiled sadly.

Xia Zeqi reached out and touched the clothes behind him. His thin shirt was soaked with cold sweat.

"Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital." As he said that, he started the car engine. A hand came across, looking weak but actually strong, and grabbed his hand that was about to twist the car key.

"No. Thank you for telling me these things. Don't worry, I will stay away from that lunatic in the future."

Xin Nanyi let go of Xia Zeqi's hand and opened the car door.

"Nanyi, you... if you want to go back, I can also take you there."

Xin Nanyi smiled lightly and said, "By the way? It's not convenient at all, is it?"

"But I'm not worried about you now."

Worried? The smile on Xin Nanyi's face deepened. It had been a long time since he heard anyone say they didn't trust him. He had always strived to live a calm life, being independent enough to be omnipotent, and mature enough to became a being that others could safely rely on.

A hard place in his heart became loose. Xin Nanyi sat back again, looked at Xia Zeqi seriously and said, "Okay, you can take me back."

Looked at his gradually recovering complexion, Xia Zeqi breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

As soon as Xin Nanyi sent a message to Q&P to explain some things, he asked them to have a good rest.

Along the way, the two chatted again and again, as if they had returned to their former self, but they both knew that the relationship between them could no longer be the ordinary friends they once were.

As soon as Xin Nanyi was sent to the villa, Xia Zeqi wanted to leave. After all, he had promised to keep the distance between friends.

What he didn't expect was that Xin Nanyi asked him before getting off the car, "Have you eaten?"

Xia Zeqi was stunned, "No."

Xin Nanyi smiled like a spring breeze, not like the usual polite smile, but a smile that could shine deep into people's hearts.

"Then I'll make you dinner! I promised you before."

"Okay."

As soon as Xia Zeqi and Xin Nanyi approached the villa, the already long awaiting Akers rushed into his arms, fell hard, and scratched his clothes wantonly with its four little claws.

Xin Nanyi glanced at Akers helplessly and said, "Look, he still likes you better. I will be the one feeding him and combing his fur tomorrow."

Xia Zeqi lowered his head and smiled, "I like you too."

Xin Nanyi's steps faltered, the rhythm of his heart beating was disrupted, and his mind fell into chaos. As soon as he raised his head, he met Xia Zeqi's dark night eyes, which were twinkling with light, as if they were filled with stars.

"Of course my dog likes me." Xin Nanyi avoided looking and stretched out his hand to brush the hair on Akers' back.

Seeing him looking so ashamed, Xia Zeqi felt hopeful again. He took a step forward, narrowed the distance between the two of them, and said in a gentle and hoarse voice, "You cook for me so often, then I can be considered your child, right?"

Xin Nanyi was dizzy for a moment as he was dazzled by his fragrance, which was as cold as lingering snow. When he realized what he was doing, he quickly took a step back and looked at him with annoyance in his eyes, "Are you a dog?"

The smile on Xia Zeqi's face deepened, with a hint of aggression, but his tone was very aggrieved, "Dogs are living better than me. Humans are really inferior to dogs!"

Xin Nanyi frowned, ignored him, walked to the kitchen, and started his work as a "cook".

Xia Zeqi followed him contentedly. In fact, Xin Nanyi didn't feel anything for him at all, but he just hadn't figured it out or didn't dare to face it yet.

Xia Zeqi sighed softly, who knew that the person he fell in love with was also a man. Love between same-sex people was different from love between opposite-sex people. What's missing was the sense of taking it for granted and the unenlightened people's eyes.

But love was love. Those obstacles from worldly perspectives were sometimes just excuses for not being willing to face and overcome. Just let nature take its course and go with your heart, it could be love.
