That person finally fell from the clouds and to my side.

Six o'clock in the morning.

HeJin opened his eyes, due to his biological clock awakening him on time.

When he finished washing up and walked out of the room, he was the only one left in the house.

HeJin walked into the adjacent room and saw that there was a missing set of sportswear in the closet. He knew that DuYan had gone out for a run, and had a peace of mind.

Even though this was DuYan's daily schedule, HeJin still repeatedly confirmed it.

HeJin knew that when faced with his uncle's affairs, there would always be something abnormal. However, now this paranoid HeJin existed because of DuYan, and he enjoyed it very much.

Before meeting DuYan, HeJin never got up before 7 o'clock in the morning, and did whatever he wanted. Now, HeJin had become like DuYan, extremely strict and self-disciplined in work and life.

These two self-disciplined people, no matter how busy they were at work, insisted on exercising. It's just that HeJin had other things to do in the morning, so he would exercise in the evening.

He went into the kitchen and started to make breakfast. When HeJin brought breakfast to the table, DuYan happened to open the door.

"Uncle, breakfast is ready."

DuYan nodded and walked into the room to take a bath.

DuYan's life was inherently regular. When he was busy at work before, he might change his daily schedule due to work. Now that he no longer intervened in the Xie Family's affairs, his life had become more and more regular.

HeJin had always been a little bit unable to understand DuYan. Before, he had been extremely concerned about the Xie Family’s power, and had wanted to become the owner of the Xie Family by all means.

Now that he had withdrawn from the Xie Family rights, he never mentioned anything related to Xie Family, such as the previous powers. It was as if those things had never had anything to do with him.

HeJin didn't believe that his uncle only had those means. All his confidential things were kept in the study, and he never guarded against DuYan.

But it didn’t matter, what he wanted was very simple, as long as DuYan stayed within his reach, that was enough. He was not very concerned about other things.

Now, the person sitting opposite him was eating the breakfast he made by himself.

HeJin ate the food very quickly, and soon put down the tableware to stare at the person before him. DuYan moved casually while eating, but the whole person was extremely elegant.

What satisfied HeJin the most was the ring on DuYan's left ring finger. The ring and HeJin’s ring were a pair, and he had gotten it ready long before they met again.

When Chen YeZhou was about to propose to Fang Xiangxiang, he had asked HeJin to refer him to a jewelry store. In the jewelry store, HeJin took a fancy to the pair of rings. It had a unique design with a small mechanism in the ring that fit with his heart very well.

He could imagine how DuYan's slender fingers would match this ring when he put on it.

Not long ago, HeJin made a request on his birthday, hoping that DuYan would wear the ring on his ring finger.

DuYan naturally refused. HeJin was already mentally prepared, and so he just chuckled in a low voice, "It doesn’t matter, I always have a plan to make you put it on, and you won’t be able to take it off.”

At that time, DuYan's reaction made HeJin a little stunned. He just looked over with a strange expression, "When you were eighteen years old, weren’t you criticizing adults for having dirty thoughts?”

HeJin didn’t understand for a moment, but he was an adult after all. Although he had always been clean and self-conscious, he had always heard related things in the business field.

It turned out that the other party mistakenly thought that the so-called “unable to take off the ring” was a decorative ring on some obscure part.

"Uncle, you...thought too much, I didn’t mean that."

When HeJin finished speaking, he saw DuYan's white ears turn a little red. That was the only time HeJin saw DuYan with a look similar to shame.

HeJin couldn't control the smile on his face, so DuYan got up and went back to the room, leaving the ring alone on the table.

HeJin only looked at DuYan's back, knowing that when the other party was asleep at night, he would quietly put on the ring for him.

DuYan's hand was the slender and powerful type with distinct joints. There was a small mechanism on the ring that HeJin bought, which could adjust the ring to the most suitable size, and then be locked with a small key.

Once it was adjusted and worn, without the key it would not be possible to remove it smoothly.

The next day, DuYan found that there was an extra ring on his hand, and only asked, "Can you take it off?"

HeJin said with a smile, "It's a pity that I lost the key."

After that, DuYan never mentioned anything about the ring.

HeJin knew that this was because the other party didn't care about these things at all, so he didn't go to the jewelry store to find a craftsman to break the ring.

The ring on the ring finger was meaningless to DuYan. But for HeJin, it was a symbolic chain, which proved that this person was by his side and it also locked the turbulent dark thoughts at the bottom of his heart.

"HeJin, you should go out now."

The cold voice interrupted HeJin's memory. He saw DuYan put down his chopsticks and look up.

"Uncle, I'm going to work." HeJin stood up and dropped a kiss on the side of DuYan's face.

DuYan's hand didn't even twitch, and accepted the kiss very naturally.

Stepping out of the house, Xiao Lin was already waiting for him downstairs.

Fang Xiangxiang and Chen YeZhou had already taken over most of the business in HeJin’s investment company. The two rarely stayed in the country, and mostly flew around the world.

HeJin's work focus was mainly on the Xie Family and Xie Group.

DuYan once asked about why HeJin's investment company could be so easily given to others to operate.

HeJin never concealed himself from DuYan, and directly replied, "That investment company was never what I wanted. Do you know why I chose this industry? Because this was an industry in which I could accumulate enough capital in the shortest time.”

Only by mastering the power of wealth could DuYan remain within his control.

HeJin's bottom line for DuYan was always just right.

He knew what kind of intimacy the other party could accept. Although he won’t respond, he also wouldn’t react too violently.

He also knew that with DuYan's character, he could accept that degree of control. He never tried to cross the line, because he didn't want to force DuYan to try to leave him.

What he didn't want was to lose control completely, by breaking DuYan's wings and imprisoning him in a place that only he knew.

Then everything would collapse, and their superficial peace would also disappear.

Therefore, HeJin never stopped DuYan from leaving Beicheng and staying elsewhere for a while. As long as he could fully grasp DuYan's whereabouts.

When he was free, he would go live with DuYan for a while, and then return to Beicheng together.

Only once did HeJin almost lose control, breaking the delicate balance between the two.

At that time, DuYan was bored in Beicheng, so he went to a small town in the south for vacation. HeJin knew of DuYan’s whereabouts when he had headed to the airport.

Only after finishing his work at night, did he then lose contact with DuYan.

DuYan's destination was a small border town. Just 10-km south was the country border.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable."

By the third time HeJin heard this telephone prompt, HeJin began to lose his mind, and something dark and twisted was surging out from deep in his heart.

What happened later was somewhat blurred.

He only remembered that Xiao Lin had come up to stop him. After that, Xiao Lin sent him to the small border town and found the hotel that DuYan had booked.

When HeJin recovered his sanity, his palms felt a soft and smooth touch.

"HeJin." The familiar voice still has no mood fluctuations, "Don't do things that will make you regret it."

HeJin's eyes gradually returned to focus, and everything in front of him was clearly presented.

DuYan laid under him with his hands locked on top of his head. The shirt buttons, which had always been neatly buttoned, were half unbuttoned, and his hair was messy. The whole person was lying on the white sheets, showing a bit of fragility that would usually never appear.

There was a red mark on his neck, and a faint crimson color appeared on his white cheeks, but the red should not be out of shyness, but out of anger.

HeJin suddenly released his hand, a little panicked.

DuYan's eyes were originally half-closed, and when he felt his movement stop, he lifted himself slightly and his eyes landed on HeJin's face.

"Uncle……"

"Awake?"

The two of them didn't move, they were very close, their noses touched, almost kissing each other.

DuYan was originally a person with little emotion, and did not feel uncomfortable because of this situation. HeJin was fearful of all his emotions intertwining and was temporarily unable to control his body.

"Your state just now was not right. I think you should see a psychologist." DuYan was not mocking HeJin, but giving serious advice.

"You are my doctor and my bottom line..." HeJin leaned close to the other's ear and whispered.

DuYan's answer was to grab HeJin's wrist and take his hand out of his clothes.

What happened that day was just an accident and the only time that HeJin touched DuYan's skin.

Later on, when HeJin dreamed, he might have had an ambiguous entangling dream. But he didn't dare to act, not because he was timid, but because rationality told him that the result after a moment of passion was beyond his tolerance.

At the end of the day's work, when HeJin returned home, he stood downstairs for a while.

The night was dark and the lights were on.

As he had done many years ago, he watched the figure of the man printed on the glass and traced it in his heart.

HeJin raised his head, stared at the familiar figure, and smiled softly.

You wear the clothes I picked and live in a house I personally arranged. The first meal you wake up to every day is made by me. No matter where you go, you will only tell me where you are.

You will always look so arrogant and indifferent, as if no one can enter your heart. It’s okay, I know that in your eyes, it’s enough to see me.

Because only in this way, can I be willing to let you go to where I can not see.

I won’t lock you up in a cage of despair, that would not only ruin you but also myself.

I will take over the Xie Family, because only the power of the Xie Family can make this country a prison that traps you. I will follow your will and seize your power just to keep you and imprison you in a country I can control.

A piece of lake water is used as a medium to capture the white moonlight far in the sky; a piece of land is used as a cage to nurture the fragile and beautiful flowers on the snow ridge.

This was HeJin's indulgent and restrained love.
