Xuan Mu deleted thousands of her photos which were collected over the years, leaving behind folders that contained pictures of other girls as evidence. The pressure on the unconscious Han Song loosened. He stood up and walked out of the room, “Call a doctor. I’m not done with him.”

“Xuan Mu, come here,” Bing Shi stopped him gently, observing her numb boyfriend that walked towards her at a slow pace. “Open your hands; we need to clean them.” Unfolding his hands, she used wet tissues, applied disinfection, and massaged her apple and cinnamon hand cream to his hands.

Interlocking their fingers, she turned towards the guards and the officials with a smile, “I think it’s enough for today. Xuan Mu didn’t sleep for a few days. He needs to take a rest. Can you accompany us to our car?”

“Of course.” Full of enthusiasm, they took the lead, while two guards stayed back to carry the unconscious Han Song to the infirmary. On the way back, the atmosphere wasn’t as stiff as when they first came in. Such a caring girlfriend, they thought. Their guard around Bing Shi was lowered; they told her secrets which shouldn’t be told.

.....

“Stop talking to her,” Xuan Mu ordered them in annoyance, making them flinch.

They looked at Bing Shi for help.

“Don’t listen to him; he is sleep-deprived,” Bing Shi smiled reassuringly, making them relax.

The whole way back, Xuan Mu was silently looking at their interlocked fingers absentmindedly

“Xuan Mu, we are in front of the car,” Bing Shi waved her other hand before his eyes, “Hello, Bing Shi calling Xuan Mu ??.”

Silence.

He didn’t respond.

Bing Shi opened the door to his car and tried to untangle her hand, unsuccessfully, “Are we sleeping outside today?” Staring at his eyes, she pointed the tip of her shoe against his car’s tyre, “Response, or I’m kicking your baby.”

“Kick it.”

‘He responded, but... What’s wrong with him?!’

“Be good and sit in the car.”

“No.”

‘If I hug him, he won’t let go of me...ever...’

“...” Bing Shi gave up and called a taxi, studying his blank face worriedly, “Was it that bad?”

No response.

“I suppose it was,” she sighed.

When a taxi arrived, Bing Shi pushed Xuan Mu inside silently.

Bing Shi unlocked the door to her apartment on the third floor. She took off her shoes and looked at his continuous unresponsiveness, using her left hand to help him out of his shoes too. She walked to her room and seated him on her bed, “Xuan Mu, I need to go to the toilet.”

When his grip didn’t loosen, she grabbed his jaw and looked him in the eyes, “Seriously?! Let go of my hand for two minutes, or I’ll pee on you!”

“Go ahead.”

“Don’t think everything will go according to you,” Bing Shi grabbed a blanket. She walked with him to the toilet, threw the blanket over his head, and did her business shamelessly. While she was cleaning her hands, she felt his fingers tugging at her dress, “...”

“I need to go to the toilet too,” Xuan Mu’s voice came under the blanket.

“Go. Ahead,” Bing Shi took his blanket and threw it over her head, “Having fun?” She murmured under the blanket.

“Mm...” he couldn’t help but chuckle. After he finished, she took him to her bedroom.

“I need to take a shower. I’m all sweaty and dirty. Let go of my hand, it’s sweaty too,” Bing Shi demanded, and he finally let go of her hand. “Huray! Go grab something to drink.”

She threw the blanket over his head in amusement and went to grab her pajamas with underwear.

When Bing Shi returned from her quick shower in piggy pajamas, Xuan Mu was in the same position as she left him, and she couldn’t help but laugh at his cuteness, “Go take a shower.”

“What do I wear?” Xuan Mu asked.

“Nothing,” she giggled teasingly.

“As you wish,” Xuan Mu stood up and went to take a shower.

“At least cover your MuMu when you come out,” Bing Shi called out from behind as she rummaged through her suitcases to find something suitable for him to wear.

‘Well, It’s hot in Sydney, he won’t catch a cold, right?’

A few moments later...

“Xuan Mu, you are taking longer than a woman. Don’t tell me you are taking care of MuMu?” Bing Shi asked in a good mood.

“I’m sleeping with you tonight. If I don’t take care of MuMu, who will?” Xuan Mu called out from the bathroom.

“I will,” she blurted out.

The door to the bathroom flung open, showing Xuan Mu in all his glory. “What did you say?!” he asked in shock, his eyes darted towards her direction.

Bing Shi looked him up and down, “Woaaah, You look so good!” She ignored the scratch marks on his chest, waving cutely at his bottom part, “Oh, my god, is that MuMu?”

The door to the bathroom closed shut.

After two minutes, Xuan Mu walked out with a towel wrapped around his hips.

Bing Shi was waiting for him in the bed, grinning at him, she patted the place next to her, “Is your mood better?”

“Mm...” Xuan Mu nodded and sat down next to her.

“Can I touch you?” she asked, moving her fingers in the air in anticipation like a pianist.

“Do whatever you want with me,” he answered.

“Before we discuss serious matters, let’s have some fun first,” Bing Shi poked his chest in curiosity.

“Bing Shi, why are you trying to be happy if you are not?” Xuan Mu asked.

“When needed, one has to be stronger for the other,” Bing Shi stroked his arm, “Thank you for always protecting me.”

Xuan Mu fell on her bed, covering his eyes with his arm, “I feel useless.” Feeling her breath near his mouth, he unconsciously raised his head in craving for her touch, “I didn’t protect you enough.”

Bing Shi lifted his arm away from his face, lightly grazing her lips over his, she came up to catch the tear which slid down from the corner of his tightly closed eyes, “It’s more than enough. I’m sorry for making you worry.”
