After waiting and waiting, the day finally came for Shen Boyan to come back.

Shen Boyan arrived at the airport at around 4 p.m. Beijing time, and because it was a working day, although Xia Shu’an also offered to pick him up from the airport, he was rejected by Shen Boyan.

“We don’t need to go through the formality of picking another up. I’ll go straight home; you’ll go home from work; and we’ll meet at home.”

Xia Shu’an’s heart was sour and astringent, realizing that the warmth after his heartbeat was intertwined with a complex and indescribable emotion.

Although he knew about his schedule a few days ago, Shen Boyan’s return still had a little impact on him. By around three o’clock in the afternoon, Xia Shu’an was a little absent-minded, and he forced himself to concentrate.

At around four o’clock, a message was sent to him:

[Shen Boyan: We have arrived in Rongchuan and are now going home.]

[An’an Cat: Be careful on the road. ]

Putting down his phone, he looked up again and added:

[An’an Cat: I will get off work soon.]

After arriving at the designated time, Xia Shu’an felt relieved and quickly walked downstairs with a lighter pace than usual. On the way to the parking lot, he received a call from Shen Boyan.

“What’s the matter?”

The man’s voice carried a smile: “Look in front of you.”

“?”

Xia Shu’an raised his head and looked ahead. A familiar Porsche Carrera was parked on the side of the road. The man walked out slowly. He was wearing a black cashmere sweater and a dark brown windbreaker while carrying a large bouquet of roses.

If it were Xia Shu’an in normal mode, he might have ruined the atmosphere with his unromantic words, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was stuck in his throat. There was heat in his chest, and even his face seemed slightly hot.

That’s probably the first thing any love-struck person feels about their separated lovers and romance.

Xia Shu’an was still a little panicked by this feeling.

“Shen Boyan.”

Taking a deep breath, Xia Shu’an was about to go forward when a car flew past from one end of the road, rushing towards Shen Boyan in the center of the road.

The black van, with its familiar appearance and license plate, was a car that Xia Shu’an would never forget for the rest of his life!

Memories of severe pain were crazily crammed into his brain in an instant, and his vision was filled with dirty blood. The huge impact made Xia Shu’an fly into the air and fall backwards…

Xia Shu’an opened his mouth in great dizziness, but his throat was unable to make a sound as if it were blocked by straw. His soul struggled wildly under a huge pulling force, trying to get rid of the pull of death. He tugged as hard as he could at a piece of fabric near him, breathing hard…

“Xia Shu’an! Xia Shu’an!!”

“Xia Shu’an, what’s wrong with you? Wake up quickly; don’t scare me!!!”

Shen Boyan slapped Xia Shu’an in the face. He was also startled when the car hit him just now. Fortunately, the driver of the special forces who had been waiting in the car reacted and rushed up to knock the car away. Before Shen Boyan could figure out the situation, he saw Xia Shu’an falling softly, not far away.

Xia Shu’an felt as if he had lost his soul. His back was cold, his head was covered in cold sweat, and even his lips were white.

“Xia Shu’an!!”

In a daze, Xia Shu’an heard the man’s panicked cry, and the familiar voice gradually made him wake up.

“Shen, Boyan?”

“Xia Shu’an!”

Seeing the young man finally open his eyes, Shen Boyan breathed a sigh of relief and hugged him hard.

“What’s wrong with you? You scared me!”

“…”

Xia Shu’an’s brain began to work slowly. He remembered the scene he just saw and tugged on the sleeve in his hand in panic: “Where’s the car?”

“Car?”

The crowd that was stunned by the scene just now had already reacted, and one by one, they ran forward and wrenched the person out of the car.

Yang Han’s pupils were filled with red blood, madly shouting at them, “Xia Shu’an, Shen Boyan, you will not die well; you will have your retribution!”

Shen Boyan frowned and was about to speak when Xia Shu’an, in his arms, suddenly hugged his neck so hard that Shen Boyan couldn’t even care about Yang Han and quickly patted Xia Shu’an’s back to comfort him.

Xia Shu’an opened his eyes and stared at Yang Han fiercely.

“Put him in jail so that he can’t get out for the rest of his life!”

“Ok, ok.”

Shen Boyan naturally does whatever Xia Shu’an says.

“Put him in jail so that he can’t get out for the rest of his life!”

The influence of his previous life gradually receded, and the force of Xia Shu’an’s arm around Shen Boyan’s neck slowly weakened. It took a while for the trembling in his body to completely disappear.

He nuzzled into Shen Boyan’s arms with nostalgia and said softly, “Let’s go home.”

“Okay!” Shen Boyan said immediately:

“Let’s go home.”

Yang Han’s incident didn’t scare Shen Boyan, but Xia Shu’an’s reaction scared him. After arriving home, he didn’t dare to express his feelings about their temporary separation after the newlywed stage. He hugged Xia Shu’an and talked to him softly, not even letting go during the video conference at night.

Xia Shu’an: “Let me go. I’m not your doll. Don’t bring me with you to meetings, okay?!”

Shen Boyan looked disappointed. “Is it really not possible?”

“It’s impossible!”

But this incident also has a benefit. At least it made Xia Shu’an confirm that the car accident in his previous life was indeed caused by Yang Han. After all the events, this is considered to be the last knot in his last life. Now that this knot has been untied, even if there are still regrets in his heart, he can live this life with no misgiving.

But Yang Han will never appear in this life again! Not ever! ! !

In this short month, Xia Shu’an and Shen Boyan experienced quite a disaster. After they had dinner at their parents’ house, they gathered with friends again. Everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily, as if they were going to wipe out all the bad luck this year.

As the protagonist, Shen Boyan had to drink for himself and drink for Xia Shu’an. In the end, the mega-drinking capacity he had honed while doing business stopped working, and he started to fall into a drunken daze.

Xia Shu’an stared at Shen Boyan, whose eyes began to spin in circles, and narrowed his eyes.

“Lu Cai, come out here.”

Xia Shu’an called Lu Cai, who surprisingly drank the least because he was a bachelor, out and stuffed him with a large handful of red old man’s heads1100 yuan banknotes.

Lu Cai was startled: “Brother Xia, I really don’t engage in illegal or criminal behavior!”

Xia Shu’an looked calm. “You get Shen Boyan drunk, and then ask him a question. As long as you get the answer, the money will be yours.”

Lu Cai was hesitant at first, but Xia Shu’an added another stack of cash. Under the influence of money, Lu Cai finally agreed.

Isn’t it just selling out his boss? Anyway, as long as his “sister-in-law” persists, the boss will say it, so what’s wrong with letting him earn the money?

“Come on, boss. In the blink of an eye, we have known each other for almost ten years, and we also met Brother Xia. Come on, let’s make a toast to Brother Xia!”

Shen Boyan turned his head to look at Xia Shu’an with a thick redneck, and Xia Shu’an immediately showed him a gentle smile and looked at him with affectionate eyes. Shen Boyan was so mesmerized that he couldn’t tell the north, south, east, and west, and he poured glass after glass of wine into his stomach.

By the end, everyone was almost lying down. Xia Shu’an winked at Lu Cai, who boldly pinched Shen Boyan’s arm and pinched the flesh on his hand to keep him awake.

“Boss, you are really good to Brother Xia. Why do you like him so much?”

Shen Boyan’s eyes spun a few times, and Xia Shu’an was afraid that he was already delirious, but Shen Boyan’s gaze froze for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he clumsily but clearly said, “Because he saved me, he’s, my, light—”

“Wow!”

The few people who were still awake immediately started to cheer.

The smile on Xia Shu’an’s face faded, but he still maintained his usual state.

Shen Boyan didn’t live up to expectations and fell flat on the ground. He helped the drunken Shen Boyan get back home. With the help of his auntie, he changed his clothes, washed him briefly, and then transported him to the guest room next door.

He can’t let him “contaminate” the master bedroom, where he usually sleeps, right?

Only after doing this did Xia Shu’an return to his room. He gently closed the door, but didn’t immediately head for the large bed at one end, but instead walked over to the desk against the wall and opened one of the drawers.

There was a box containing some letters between Xia Shu’an and his pen pal, something that Shen Boyan would never touch privately. Xia Shu’an opened the first two envelopes and pulled out a document bag at the bottom.

“Mr. Xia.”

Three days ago, after eating with his friends, a strange man suddenly stopped him.

Xia Shu’an didn’t recognize him, so he turned around out of courtesy.

“Hello, what’s the matter?”

The man behaved politely and looked at him with grace.

“I know that the series of things that happened to Shen Boyan this time are all from Mr. Xia’s past. President Shen can be said to have given everything to Mr. Xia; regardless of what he has given, isn’t Mr. Xia curious as to why? After all, you have only known each other for half a year, and as far as I know, at the beginning of your acquaintance, President Shen paid off a large amount of debt for the Xia family.”

The man didn’t pay attention to Xia Shu’an’s vigilant gaze and continued, “I’m President Shen’s business friend. I’m very curious about him, so I took the liberty of investigating his past.”

“I found that in his past trajectory, there was a period of time that overlapped with Mr. Xia’s; that is, you both attended Haiping Middle School in Changning City.”

“I found out that President Shen often passes by the same alleyway home as you. Because you don’t have any overlapping courses or extracurricular activities at school, I believe this is the only path you share. On March 21, 2014, Shen Bo Yan was found stabbed in the abdomen and lying covered in blood in the alley. Someone found out and quickly called the police and an ambulance to save his life.”

“The person who saved President Shen left the hospital quickly after confirming that he was saved. According to the police and the teacher who rushed over at the time, a male classmate who was a sophomore in high school found him on his way home. Judging from the time and location, it was mostly likely you, Mr. Xia. But I found out that you didn’t come home on time that day because you stayed at school for something, so that person wasn’t you.”

Xia Shu’an’s expression gradually became cold under his unhurried statement. Finally, he said, “What do you want to say?”

“I want to say that maybe President Shen always regards you as his life-saver, so he helped the Xia family when he first met you and also dealt with Yang Han at all costs for you, because it was a life-saving grace.”

“But if you are not, what will happen? Of course, what happened has happened, but Mr. Xia, can you accept President Shen’s wrong repayment and continue to enjoy the preferential treatment that should belong to others?”

“Maybe you don’t believe what I’m saying; here’s the report from my investigation so you can check the time details.”

After giving the document bag to Xia Shu’an, the man left the scene as quickly and lightly as he came.

In front of the table, Xia Shu’an took a deep breath.

“So, it really is a life-saving grace, right?”

Hua: Heeyyy I’m very busy with my job recently so the update may become sporadic (#｀-_ゝ-)
