Paris.

Huo Qing gloomily looked at the photos on the computer screen which Wang Zong had just sent. His dark eyes shone like a sharp blade.

The scene in the photo was very chaotic. It could be seen that it was a private room in a bar. The obscene atmosphere formed by the chaotic naked silhouettes and shredded clothes almost rushed out of the computer screen. The figures were not clear, except for a teenager wearing glasses. He looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. His facial features were immature and young, with some confusion and uneasiness in his expression at being pressed on the sofa by a bare-chested man.

That’s what he was like when Su Su was young, his clothes were ripped off by a group of men, he was fed medicine, and countless dirty pictures were taken when he was unconscious. These unsightly photos were even sent to the office of his stepfather Jiang Zhaolin.

Anna was unaware of the incident. Jiang Zhaolin arranged for Yan Su to drop out of school and called him into the study for two hours. At that time, Jiang Yang was about to take his college entrance exam, but he almost broke his arm to save Yan Su. Coupled with these disgusting photos, one could imagine how Jiang Zhaolin scolded Yan Su for those two hours. After all, he was just an insignificant stepson.

This was a heavy blow and shame for Su Su, who was just a child at the time. Huo Qing was heartbroken when he thought about it.

“Find out those people, including Jiang He.” Huo Qing’s irritability was reflecting through his tone.

“Yes sir! I’m already doing it.” Wang Zong said on the phone.

Huo Qing hung up the phone and looked at the photos silently. At this time, his brain was boiling, but his eyes were very cold, and there was a terrifying killing intent.

At noon, Nie Jia ate lunch with a pale face, and then attended a seminar at the invitation of the General Hospital. He was not interested in this kind of backward medical treatment in some ordinary world. He just found something to busy himself with.

At the end of the seminar, it was already evening. Nie Jia was in a bad mood. After returning, he went to bed without even eating dinner, just like a salted fish who had lost its dream.

{T/N: A term, originally from Chinese, used to refer to someone feeling tired and sluggish.

He was in a bad mood, and the system was worried about his stomach ache since the morning, and had been yelling at him to eat, but was completely blocked by Nie Jia.

He wrapped himself into a spring roll and fell asleep.

It was unknown how long after that, Nie Jia was awakened by a string of sloppy footsteps. He realized that his door lock was damaged by Jiang He during the day and he had no time to repair it. Anyone could enter and leave his room. Maybe it was Anna, Nie Jia thought unconsciously. He felt the mattress sink by his side, and then a warm palm fell gently on his head.

He awakened abruptly, suddenly threw away the quilt and sat up, gazing at the person around him incredulously.

“I woke you up?” Huo Qing gazed at Nie Jia’s pale but handsome face with unmatched tenderness.

Nie Jia was like a little animal with nowhere to escape, his ears were perked up, and he was a little cautious and surprised. “How?? Weren’t you coming a few days later?”

“I thought you couldn’t stand it, so I came back in advance.” Huo Qing took Nie Jia’s hand, kissed gently on the inside of his wrist, and then pulled the man into his arms, embracing him tenderly.

Nie Jia glanced at the time. It was ten o’clock in the evening. It took about twelve hours to travel from Paris to Yue City. That meant, Huo Qing came back immediately after their video call in the morning.

For once, he didn’t know what to say. He felt first surprise and then faint joy, it was so nice that he didn’t feel disgusted by his (own) violent behavior. Nie Jia moved his arms, his breathing slightly quickened and he wanted to hug him(Huo Qing).

At this time, Huo Qing said in a low voice in his ear, “I was very worried about you.”

Nie Jia moved, and his just raised arm was put down again. He lowered his head and buried his face in Huo Qing’s neck, laughing a bit self-deprecatingly. “You have seen it all, I can protect myself well. Nothing to worry about.”

“Of course, this is a good thing.” Huo Qing noticed the strangeness in Yan Su’s tone and let go of his hand to look at the lost young man through the faint moonlight. He couldn’t help but touch his forehead, kiss on his brows, then again anxiously hug the person back into his arms. “But if it wasn’t Jiang He? But someone else who has the ability to hurt you, I could only watch you being bullied….” He gritted his teeth. “I will never leave you alone again. I will be with you wherever you go from now on, always in a place you can see me as long as you look back.”

Nie Jia was too slow to react. For a second, he felt that he had misunderstood.

“No one can bully me. I will break their necks!” He no longer restrained his arrogance, and said the fierce and cruel words previously floating in his head, but suddenly, he couldn’t control his tears. He clinged to Huo Qing’s neck, clenching his teeth and crying.

“It’s okay. It’s alright.” Huo Qing hugged the body that was trembling lightly, patted his back with distressed eyes and softly comforted Nie Jia.

In the previous worlds, Nie Jia had always believed that he would be sentenced to death when the cycle of reincarnation ended, and that his life would be completely over. He recalled Shi Chen countless times. Although they loved each other unabashedly, he had never said a word. He did not have the courage to boldly pursue the person he liked. It was Nie Jia’s last regret. There was no chance for redemption.

Even when he learnt that Shi Chen was trying his best to save him, and had even hacked into the prosecution team’s system to stand beside him, Nie Jia was still uneasy because he was no longer kind and docile. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that Shi Chen would mind and hate this change in him.

But now, Nie Jia finally understood that he had underestimated Shi Chen’s love. And he realized that the person who didn’t love enough was him, but instead he had wondered whether the other party was not firm enough. He was too selfish. In order to avoid him being hurt, Shi Chen even took the risk of being investigated and tampered with the prosecution team’s personality detection system to come to him. He(Nie Jia) only had evaded and dared not respond positively to his(Shi Chen) feelings. What a coward!

“Thank you for being willing to love me and save me.” Nie Jia groaned in repression.

Huo Qing smiled softly, “You are my salvation.”

The system covered its mouth while crying. [Ahhhh!! Too moving… I’m so touched. (●//ω//●) Although I don’t want to disturb you, Mr. Nie, I have to remind you that the director has captured Jiang He.】

After Nie Jia’s mood stabilized, Huo Qing got up and washed him with a warm towel, and wiped his face covered with snot and tears. Nie Jia laid down on the bed with his eyes closed and obediently let Huo Qing wash him. The tip of his nose and the end of his eyes were all red, like an innocent child who had been bullied.

“It’s late, let’s sleep.” Huo Qing’s heart was covered with haze, and he touched Nie Jia’s red eyes.

Nie Jia opened his eyes, his emotions were in a fluster since he was already sleepy. He took Huo Qing’s hand and said softly, “What did you do with Jiang He? He was so scared in the morning and he didn’t dare come to trouble me again.”

Huo Qing’s eyebrows jumped, he didn’t want to tell him.

Nie Jia was insistent, “You know what happened in the bar twelve years ago, right?”

Jiang He took care to say everything today, and Huo Qing heard all those words without missing anything. How could he be indifferent?

Seeing that Huo Qing already had some gloom in his eyes, Nie Jia leaned forward and laid on his shoulders with a small smile and said, “In fact, it’s nothing. They were all only posing for the pictures. I was not bullied. Jiang Yang just wanted to take some pictures to show Jiang Zhaolin. It’s just that it didn’t really affect me.”

Huo Qing’s face was still green, “Don’t worry about this matter. Including Jiang Yang, leave it to me to handle it, okay?”

“Release Jiang He. If you want to be angry, you can beat him first. I assure you that they will be dealt with as soon as possible and will never involve themselves with us.” Nie Jia blew gently in his ear. “Then, let’s marry.”

Huo Qing’s pupils tightened, he wolfishly stared at Nie Jia. “Say it again.”

Nie Jia smiled, “I am proposing. Do I need to kneel?”

Huo Qing’s response was a fierce kiss that almost made Nie Jia breathless. He pushed the person down on bed and bullied him gently and overbearingly. Nie Jia suddenly remembered something when he was suppressed, and gasped slightly: “The lock on my room is broken, in case my mother comes in…..”

Huo Qing threw his blazer, wrapped arms around Nie Jia ’s knees, and hugged the man, walking straight into the bathroom. He put Nie Jia on the washstand, then kicked the door and clicked the lock, and sat Nie Jia beside the mirror. He pulled Nie Jia slowly in his arms and said: “Now it’s locked.”

Nie Jia laughed, wrapped his arms around Huo Qing’s neck and kissed him. He lost himself in passion.

The next day, Jiang Yang was dealing with business affairs in the office. These two days of rumours made him scorched, and he spent a lot of effort and yet was unable in completely clearing it up. The company had so many things to worry about that he was too busy to go home for a week and sleep well. Meng Qian was very distressed for Jiang Yang. Recently, the gallery did nothing, so he made three meals a day and brought it to Jiang Yang to accompany him in the company.

After lunch, Meng Qian was at Jiang Yang’s desk feeding him fruit, and accompanying him to gossip while doing business.

Suddenly a strong force violently pushed open the door of Jiang Yang’s office, and two figures poured in. Among them, the female secretary kept bowing and apologizing: “I’m sorry, chairman… He.. wanted to come in. I couldn’t stop……”

Wasn’t it Jiang He who had just been released by Wang Zong?

“It’s alright, you go out first.” Meng Qian glanced at Jiang He in disgust, threw the fork back into the plate and said to the secretary.

The secretary nodded, stepped back trembling and closed the door.

Jiang Yang glanced up and frowned impatiently, “What are you doing here looking like this?”

Jiang He was dirty, and he had dried stains of nosebleeds. It was obviously a look of being beaten. Especially the whole eyeball of his right eye, which was bloodshot, red and looked scary. He walked to the sofa and sat down, gasping for breath: “I was dismissed by Qin Yiran, don’t you know? Do you still have the time to frolic about in the office?”
