The streets were busy. The people walking around laughed happily. It was a very warm evening and yet very windy. The slender figure of a man ran through the crowd of the late hour. His long black hair, which got a beautiful blue shine from the lighting, was as beautiful as silk. His unmarked face that was more beautiful than that of some women. Gorgeous obsession black eyes. A person who only drew people's eyes to himself, but this person did not seem to care about the people around him. Somehow he found his way to a park that had few passers-by at that hour. Only a few couples who walked here in the romantic lighting of the lanterns while he was walking alone over a small bridge. The person glanced up at the sky in silence. A year ago everything began that he will never forget. 

Mu Qing looked at the cell phone angrily. ,,The murderer here, the murderer there! Instead of reporting about him you should kindly grab him! ", Hissed Mu Qing annoyed. The title page was printed in bold Crimson Rain Sought Flower has struck again! The killer had managed to murder 33 important people. Mu Qing ran annoyed quickly through the park over a bridge when he bumped into a man. Surprised, he looked up at him for a moment, who smiled at him apologetically. "Sorry," he said with a smile. But Mu Qing just rolled his eyes. "Next time, please watch where you are going!", Said Mu Qing unfriendly and started walking again. He was pressed for time. Normally he would drive his car to the meeting, but today he didn't feel like doing all that and wanted to prefer to run. When he arrived, he ran straight into the meeting room.

In the world of politicians it was not uncommon for them to have different opinions. But sometimes the opinions were so divided that they kept getting into each other's hair. Mu Qing has had enough of these problems. Feng Xin in particular did not want him to stop writing down what kind of political decisions he should make. Annoyed looked at his laptop when someone came into his office. A man he had never seen before stood at the door. Had a pile of papers in his hands and carried them to Mu Qing's office. He had never seen the man before. This man was tall and handsome, with long black hair that was loose and fell loosely over his shoulder. Only one strand was braided into a small braid. He wore a smile on his lips and put all the papers on the table. The strangest thing he found about them was that they only had one eye. 

,,Who are you?", Asked Mu Qing confused. 

Mu Qing only hired men whom he had checked himself to see if they were good enough.

,,Oh, excuse me. But did you forget that we crashed together this morning?", he smiled pleasantly. 

Mu Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at him before turning to the papers. The stranger looked curiously at Mu Qing's laptop. 

,,Oh"

,,Yes "Oh"!", he laugh a little. 

Mu Qing rolled his eyes a moment later. He had really hardly paid attention to the man from this morning because he was pressed for time. But that didn't seem to bother him. Instead, he went to see Mu Qing.

,,If you are looking for a solution to change the crisis in the slums you could try to change the taxes", smiled the stranger. 

Mu Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at him. 

,,I don't need advice from a stranger", said Mu Qing, rolling his eyes. 

The man only laughed softly. 

,,Sorry for my rudeness. But I thought I might be able to give you advice because I came from such an area myself", he smiled apologetically. 

Now he had Mu Qing's curiosity. However, he was still very wary of the stranger. 

,,Ah yes?", Asked Mu Qing. 

The man laughed lightly and began to tell something about his past, while Mu Qing listened briefly. 

,,So maybe you could listen to my suggestions since I also came from this area", said the man gently. 

Mu Qing didn't know why, but he was still very suspicious of the stranger. He didn't know the man and yet he really seemed to have a clue. 

,,What's your name?", He then asked the stranger. 

,,Call me Hua Cheng", he introduced himself. 

Mu Qing just nodded slightly. 

,,If you have any further interests I can give him my number", suggested Hua Cheng and gave him his number before he disappeared from the office. 

Mu Qing looked after the stranger and thought about it for a moment, before he plunged back into his work. Without noticing how the time passed, it was already 10 pm. Mu Qing left his office. There were hardly any left. Mu Qing sometimes wondered why some were still there at such a late hour. He wasn't surprised that his bodyguards were there and that they accompanied him. As he got into the car, he sighed in relief and looked at the cell phone. He was on the news thinking about taking the economy forward. Thoughtfully, he looked at the business card Hua Cheng gave him. He couldn't forget what Hua Cheng was saying. He too had experienced the bitterness. What should. What do I have to lose? He entered the number and called him. 

,,I'm glad that I can be of help to you." Mu Qing rolled his eyes. They met again in Mu Qing's office and were now sitting on the sofas that were in the room. 

,,You know It is not easy to grow up in the slums. Often one is afraid that there will be no tomorrow", said Hua Cheng, leaning on his arm. 

Mu Qing was silent and only heard him for a while, occasionally rolling his eyes in disgust. Hua Cheng smiled as always and then started talking and passing on his ideas. Mu Qing just listened. He didn't know why, but Hua Cheng's way of telling it captivated him and didn't let him get bored. The man seemed to know what to say. This fascinated Mu Qing. After these meetings it was not uncommon that Hua Cheng started to help him secretly every now and then by "accidentally" passing by to bring things over and "by accident" overhearing the things. Mu Qing himself doesn't know why this man suddenly got so on his skin, but he couldn't complain either because he was helpful. But sometimes he wondered if this man wasn't some spy. But the more he got to know this man, it felt more and more as if this man had no bad intentions. But just looking for closeness. Mu Qing wasn't stupid, but he wondered why this man wanted to be around him. 

The day it was confirmed was the evening when Mu Qing was sitting in his office as usual and doing his work when Hua Cheng was with him again. 

,,Don't you find it impolite to stare at me while I'm working?", Mu Qing asked him annoyed without looking at him. 

,,I think it's nice to see how you can jump into work", smiled Hua Cheng innocently. 

,,Just because I tolerate your presence doesn't mean that you have the right to talk to me like that. Besides, don't you have anything to do with them? ", Mu Qing hissed at him.

,,All done!" 

,,I should give you more jobs next time! "

,,Then you'd have to make me an assistant", laughed Hua Cheng. 

,,I would never want someone like you as an assistant!" 

At that moment, Hua Cheng stood up and then stood next to him. 

,,Why not him? I would be a nice assistant!"  

Mu Qing just rolled his eyes. Hua Cheng laughed. 

,,Or don't you want me to be your assistant?", Hua Cheng asked innocently. 

Suddenly Mu Qing felt two arms around his body. Immediately Mu Qing froze and stiffened when he felt Hua Cheng's warm breath on his ear. 

,,Or do you want something completely different?", he asked in Mu Qing's place. 

Immediately he felt his ears turning red. 

,,Don't touch me", he said warningly. 

,,Why him? Can't I do that?", Asked Hua Cheng teasingly. 

,,So that it is clear, do you actually know what rank you have? You don't even have the right to shake my hand!", Mu Qing said between clenched teeth. 

But shortly afterwards he felt Hua Cheng's hand on his throat, which then lifted his chin a little. Mu Qing felt the pressure on his neck and something bit the inside of his cheek. He felt Hua Cheng's breath on his ear. Mu Qing wanted to turn his face to the side, but Hua cheng knew what he was doing. More than it was good. He had Mu Qing completely around his finger Hua Cheng leaned down to Mu Qing. He ran his thumb over the delicate pink lips of his opposite before pressing his lips to Mu Qing's. Mu Qing winced at first, but couldn't defend himself at the same time. Before he knew it, his back was on the desk. The papers that were neatly stacked on the table landed wildly on the floor. It will take ages until they are all listed again and properly back together.

 But that was really beside the point. Mu Qing felt warm kisses on his neck and occasionally gasped softly. Part of him wanted to defend himself, push him away, yell at whatever he could think of, but on the other hand he prevented himself from doing it. It was as if Hua Cheng had pulled him completely into his path. Mu Qing pulled Hua Cheng closer and looked him in the face. 

,,Do you know that you are laying down a chairman?", Said Mu Qing, breathing heavily. 

,,I know. It will be my honor to have you screaming under me like you will beg for more", said Hua Cheng with a smile and stroked Mu Qing's tender lips. 

He was about to say something, but Hua Cheng stuck two fingers in his mouth and stopped him. Mu Qing furiously wanted to bite his fingers, but Hua Cheng put his other hand between Mu Qing's legs. Immediately he blushed and rolled his eyes as if trying to distract the whole thing. 

,,I will let you come so often with happiness that you will never forget this feeling, Xin Ye", Hua Cheng whispered in his ear. 

For a moment, Mu Qing didn't even know his name anymore. Hua Cheng kept his word. He never let Mu Qing forget that feeling. 

Since that day, Mu Qing vowed to fire him. But he never did. Hua Cheng wrapped it around her finger more and more day by day. As if he was pulling his strings while Mu Qing was more and more captured by him without him being able to defend himself. If he had known earlier how much Hua Cheng could only wrap him around his finger, he would never have let Hua Cheng get so close to him. Mu Qing slowly pulled his clothes back over himself. He adjusted his collar and tried to cover up the love bites that Hua Cheng had left. Carefully he straightened up, ignoring the slight pain in his back. Hua Cheng leaned over and kissed Mu Qing on the neck. 

,,Leave me alone, I have to go right away", said Mu Qing, rolling his eyes. 

They were in his house, in his bedroom, in his bed. It felt to Mu Qing as if his little safe barrier, he one, had one had now been torn down. 

,,Why so scratchy, Xin Ye?", asked Hua Cheng with a smile. 

Every time Hua Cheng called him that, he felt goose bumps spreading over him, how his chest bounced briefly and quickly against his chest.   

,,I'm going to take a closer look at the situation in the slums today", said Mu Qing then and quickly pulled himself out of Hua Cheng's arms. 

,,Oh?", Hua Cheng asked in amusement, leaning on one arm and looking at Mu Qing smiled at him with a slight smirk. With a slight smile, Hua Cheng leaned over and kissed him gently. Mu Qing sighed softly and enjoyed the attention Hua Cheng was giving him. The tenderness in their relationship that they sometimes had. Hua Cheng gently pulled him back and gave him a lot of attention and tenderness with gentle kisses. Mu Qing let that affect him again. But when Hua Cheng playfully bit into Mu Qing's ear, Mu Qing slapped him on the shoulder, insulted. 

,,No biting", said Mu Qing warningly. 

But Hua Cheng laughed softly. 

,,We both know you really like it if I do the opposite of what you want", he whispered in Mu Qing's ear, which makes him blush. 

Irritably, Mu Qing took a pillow and slapped his face. 

,,Don't get nervous!", Mu Qing then said to Hua Cheng, who just laughed and took the pillow out of his face. 

,,Is my Xin Ye going to have a pillow fight?", Before Mu Qing could answer, a pillow was placed on his face. 

Shortly afterwards they both started beating each other with the pillows while they kept laughing. Suddenly, Hua Cheng jumped at him and they both landed in bed in one fell swoop. Laughing, Mu Qing tried to free himself from Hua Cheng's grip, but he couldn't because Hua Cheng held him in his arms and showered him with kisses. Those were moments that both of them loved to share.

No matter how nice it is right now, unfortunately work is calling. Mu Qing took his phone. He ignored most of the messages. Feng Xin and Xie Lian wrote it, but he replied rather curtly. While he was busy reading Feng Xin news, Hua Cheng untangled Mu Qing's beautiful long black hair with one hand. The hairs were beautifully thin and shiny, like high quality silk. Hua Cheng took one of these strands in his hand and then kissed it. Mu Qing felt it, noticed how his cheeks turned a little red. He just sat there for a while and let Hua Cheng do it, but then he got up quickly. 

,,I have to go!", Said Mu Qing quickly and dressed quickly before tying his long hair into a ponytail.

,,See you tonight, Xin Ye", Hua Cheng told him from behind. 

Mu Qing turned to him briefly before leaving his house without further ado. Mu Qing drove to the slums to see the situation more closely. As soon as he entered the part he felt his heart almost breaking. He grew up here too. Much hadn't changed. It was still a wretched, poor spot in the rich city. Mu Qing felt his heart contract when he saw the children in dirty torn clothes. His heart ached. It just reminded him more of his situation when he lived in the slums. One of the children was immediately curious and grabbed his pant leg and looked at him with wide eyes. 

,,Do you have something to eat?", The child asked curiously. 

His heart got heavier before he slowly leaned down and smiled. He took a small packet of sweets out of his pocket and handed it to her. The little girl's eyes went wide. For him, sweets weren't anything special anymore, but here many could only dream. The children looked at the man cautiously and ran to him curiously. Mu Qing watched the whole thing a little while occasionally paying attention to the children. 

While he was doing this he did not notice that anyone was watching him from afar. The man silently watched from one of the broken roofs of the slum. He looked at Mu Qing's petite figure and had a hand on his chin to support it. One knee drawn up and the other dangling slightly in the air. While he was looking at Mu Qing, he also noticed that Mu Qing seemed to really care about her. For a while he asked himself briefly whether that was an act. But he did not see any paparatzis nearby, nor did he see that these emotions were fake. Thoughtfully, the stranger took a picture of Mu Qing and checked it on his cell phone. 

That evening, Mu Qing came home with a sigh and thought about all of this. In the end it rained heavily. The storm was extremely strong, one also believed that the trees could be torn out immediately. He entered his house when he was greeted by Hua Cheng, who smiled at him. 

,,Back?" He asked with a smile. 

Mu Qing was silent and looked at the floor. You didn't have to be a psychologist to see that Mu Qing was terrible. He looked like he had just walked through the rules for three hours. His hair was wet, partially stuck to his face, while his clothes were clinging to his skin as if it were his second layer of skin. His black obsession black eyes just looked silently at the floor. Hua Cheng walked up to him. Only when he stood in front of him , Mu Qing raised his head and looked into Hua Cheng's face. Their eyes met. Neither of them said anything. Maybe they didn't have to. 

Hua Cheng put his hands on Mu Qing's waist and smiled at him. Without further ado, Mu Qing pulled him close. Nobody had to say anything when they kissed. Nobody could tell who kissed whom, maybe both wanted to kiss at the same time. Without any effort, Hua Cheng slowly stripped Mu Qing's wet clothes from his body and spread light kisses on this flawless skin, on which Hua Cheng had already left some lovebrows. This time, Mu Qing didn't complain. That night, Hua Cheng made Mu Qing forget the outside world again while holding the fragile figure in his arms. 

The next day, Mu Qing received calls from Feng Xin. 

,,I told you that I already sent it to you!" 

,,That's not my problem, Mu Qing! You should be more careful when you go out! You know exactly that this killer is still walking around!" 

Mu Qing rolled his eyes. Even if no one talked about the subject often, the media was full of talking about the killer, who didn't commit a murder three months ago. Nobody knows his motive, but the fact that he could kill important politicians without anyone knowing he was killing was dangerous. 

,,I also needed n--" 

,,Yes, I know I know! Just come to my office and pick it up!", Mu Qing hissed annoyed. 

Feng Xin replied just as annoyed before hanging up. Mu Qing leaned back in annoyance. Hua Cheng, who was in Mu Qing's office as usual, looked at the documents. 

,,As your personal assistant, I have to tell you that you have to go to a meeting again", said Hua Cheng, pointing to the watch that was on his arm. Mu Qing looked at him in annoyance before turning to some paperwork. It took Feng Xin 20 minutes to get there. He came in annoyed with two companions. 

,,Hey asshole", said Feng Xin and looked annoyed at Mu Qing. Mu Qing greeted him with a roll of his eyes. 

,,There you have your documents. With the rest I will send you Fu Yao, who will help you the other to be done", said Mu Qing, not wanting to discuss it. 

Feng Xin, annoyed, passed the documents on to Nan Feng, one of his companions. Feng Xin noticed Hua Cheng and looked at him in confusion. 

,,Who is that?" He asked with a frown. 

Mu Qing didn't look at Hua Cheng. 

,,This is my new assistant", said Mu Qing calmly. 

,,When are you hiring someone new?", Now asked Feng Xin confused. 

Mu Qing turned his head to the side in annoyance and stood up. 

,,Don't bother me, I have to go to the meeting right away", said Mu Qing unfriendly. 

Feng Xin was used to this tone and looked briefly at Hua Cheng, who innocently followed Mu Qing. As she left the office, Feng gave Xin a meaningful look to Nan Feng, who immediately understood. He bowed shortly before he went to work. As always, Hua Cheng stood by Mu Qing's side while he was doing his duties. Even though Mu Qing and Hua Cheng had something to do with each other for quite a while, Mu Qing often noticed that Hua Cheng had almost nothing to do. It's almost like living with Mu Qing as running his own. It was questionable. 

,,Why don't you go home?", Mu Qing asked him one day. 

,,Why? Would you like me to go?", Asked Hua Cheng, amused. But Mu Qing rolled his eyes. 

,,I want to know where you come from or where you live. After all, you are with me every day now", said Mu Qing unkindly. Hua Cheng then laughed, he got up and then hugged Mu Qing from behind.

,,Interested?", Hua Cheng then asked. 

Mu Qing rolled over to bite his arm. Before it can materialize, someone knocked on his office door. Hua Cheng broke up and smiled briefly at Mu Qing. 

,,I'll get us a coffee", he said with a smile and went out when Feng Xin entered. 

Xie Lian followed closely behind. Xie Lian looked at Hua Cheng, who smiled at him briefly and then went out. Feng Xin went straight to Mu Qing. 

,,Mu Qing what do you know about Hua Cheng?", Feng Xin asked him directly. Mu Qing frowned and looked at him. 

,,He is almost thirty, grew up in the slums as a child, and is a well-educated man who knows a lot about things. He also studied at Heaven Sky University", said Mu Qing, twisting his eyes.

 But Feng Xin did not look happy when he slapped a thin folder on Mu Qing's table.

,,Yes, that's in his data too. But you know what? I called there. There was never a student named Hua Cheng. I also researched the man everywhere. There is nothing about him. I also inquired in general, no one has ever seen this man before", said Feng Xin and looked at Mu Qing reproachfully. 

But Mu Qing silently looked at the documents and then raised an eyebrow. 

,,Are you telling me something?", Mu Qing then asked. 

,,What I want to say, don't you think it's susceptible that some guy has simply settled into life and apparently has you completely under his spell?", Now Xie Lian mixed in too. 

,,We're worried Mu Qing", he said. 

Mu Qing didn't have to read minds to be able to guess what was going on in Xie Lian's head. Both of them wanted to suggest something to Mu Qing.  

,,You think, he is maybe the killer? ", he asked the two who nodded silently. 

,,What makes you think it is him?", Mu Qing then asked. 

,,Because this guy is obviously anything but normal! Take a look at him! His forehead literally says DANGER!" 

Mu Qing thought and then looked to the side with a sigh. Before either of them said anything, Hua Cheng entered the room. 

,,Please excuse the disturbance, gentlemen. Your meeting will begin in exactly ten minutes", said Hua Cheng with a friendly smile that spread a danger. 

Neither of them said anything when they saw him. Xie Lian looked hesitantly between his friends before quickly grabbing Feng Xin and with him ran him to the meeting. Mu Qing wanted to follow him, but Hua Cheng stopped him briefly and pressed him a kiss on the forehead. Mu Qing immediately felt the heat rise and turn red. Mu Qing hissed angrily, rolling his eyes as he went to the meeting. Hua Cheng only gave a pseudo-sanctimonious smile afterwards. After this incident, Mu Qing thought more and more about whether Feng Xin was right. His career didn't seem to be developing well either. There have been some scandals that Mu Qing hadn't quite realized when they started. It was only when Feng Xin burst into his office again and held the newspaper articles in front of his nose that Mu Qing realized what was going on. 

There were rumors in the newspapers that Mu Qing was gay or that he was actually a child molester. Who the hell thought that up ?! Good thing he wasn't straight, he realized when he got into bed with Hua Cheng. But child molester ?! Who the hell thought that up ?! Mu Qing didn't know what to do with any of this. There were also some pictures where Mu Qing wondered how they were made. One of the pictures showed how Mu Qing was carrying a little girl who came from the slums in his arms. Mu Qing remembered that. He had picked her up because she wanted to. But he hadn't done anything to her. But there was also a picture where you saw how Mu Qing kissed someone, if Mu Qing didn't know that it was Hua cheng he was kissing, you wouldn't even recognize Hua Cheng in the picture. You only saw that it was a man he kissed. Mu Qing wanted to disappear into the ground. 

He came home exhausted and exhausted. He heard the water running in the bathroom, which answered the question where Hua Cheng was. He was taking a shower. went into the kitchen. He was hungry. As he walked by, he noticed Hua Cheng's cell phone. Actually, that wouldn't bother him if he didn't see the cell phone blinking in the moment and noticed that someone named He Xuan was writing to him. 

,,Should I publish the other pictures too?", Was the question. 

Mu Qing was confused and picked up the cell phone. Actually, he was never interested in Hua Cheng's life or the things on his cell phone itchy. Hua Cheng had a password, it really would be that easy. But Mu Qing got another idea. He took a picture at the lock screen and went to the little sign that was below. Then he scrolled through the photos. Mu Qing wanted to drop the cell phone. The photos were of Hua Cheng. But how could Hua Cheng get these photos? Then it clicked. Hua Cheng had stalked him and taken the pictures. He had brought scandals to Mu Qing all this time. 

But why? At the moment he remembered follow Feng Xin's words. Everything was fake. Hua Cheng was Crimson Rain Sought Flower. 

,,Found out?", he suddenly heard a deep voice behind him in his ear. 

With one leap, Mu Qing turned and took three steps back directly to the kitchen counter. Hua Cheng was wearing normal clothes again, his hair a little wet, while he looked at Mu Qing in amusement. This time he saw the hideous grin. He was blind. All the time he was blind. 

,,Was it fun to make fun of me?", Mu Qing then asked with clenched teeth. 

,Was it fun to laugh behind my back while I thought it might really be something between us?" Mu Qing then asked angrily. 

Hua Cheng continued to smile at him innocently. 

,,I never said I was innocent", smiled Hua Cheng and then approached Mu Qing. 

,,You are Crimson Rain Sought Flower", said Mu Qing more quietly.

Hua Cheng laughed at that. 

,,Sherlock", he said amused.

As he got closer and closer, Mu Qing tried to pull back and grabbed a knife that was hanging on the wall by the other kitchen utensils. Mu Qing never feel so stupid in his life before. He felt a thick lump build up in his throat. How his vision became a little blurry and watery, but he didn't want to show weakness. The knife aimed directly at Hua Cheng. 

,,You were a nice conversation", said Hua Cheng then and came closer to Mu Qing. 

Mu Qing didn't want him to come closer and backed away until he felt the wall behind his back. Hua Cheng was incredibly close to him. He wanted each other fight back, but Hua Cheng was faster. Suddenly the knife was torn from his hand, followed and an incredible pain in his shoulder. Hua Cheng had taken the knife from his hand and rammed it into his shoulder. Mu Qing cried out in pain. Tears rolled down his cheeks. 

,,You know, Mu Qing, I admit, at first I wanted to humiliate you incredibly", said Hua Cheng, lifting Mu Qing's chin to look at him. He didn't want to look at him. He just wanted him to disappear. 

,,Then I made a different decision", said Hua Cheng with a smile. 

Mu Qing pushed him away with his uninjured hand. Hua Cheng tore the knife from Mu Qing's shoulder which screamed out again in pain. Mu Qing stepped after Hua Cheng, he didn't even bother to begin with. He roughly grabbed Mu Qing by the neck and pressed the knife against his chest. 

,,You know that I can humiliate you even more", said Hua Cheng. But Mu Qing didn't care. Knowing he was blinded hurt him so much. 

,,You lied to me," said Mu Qing, hurt. Hua Cheng's eyes softened. 

,,I didn't lie to you my Xin Ye", said Hua Cheng quietly. 

Mu Qing didn't believe a word he said. He furiously hits Hua Cheng. 

,,Let go of me, you murderer!", Mu Qing yelled at him, he struggled. 

But Hua Cheng was a serial killer with an incredible amount of experience. Mu Qing was not weak, but never had a chance against him. All of a sudden, Mu felt Qing hurt again. This time, Hua Cheng nailed Mu Qing to the wall, clasped his two hands over his head and held him with only one hand. Mu Qing screamed even more in pain. Hua Cheng lifted his chin and looked deeply at Mu Qing in the eyes. 

,,I never lied to you my Xin Ye", Hua Cheng said again. 

Mu Qing wanted to scream, he wanted to cry and hit him, but he had no strength. Hua Cheng came closer to him, feeling the soft lips of his on his. Mu Qing wanted to bite him. The kiss that Hua Cheng gave him was full of emotions, as if in the kiss Hua Cheng was apologizing. When Hua Cheng broke away and looked deep into Mu Qing's eyes, there was a loud bang from outside. Like kicking the door. Hua Cheng took one last look at Mu Qing. 

,,Goodbye Xin Ye", he said. Mu Qing didn't know what to say. 

He felt a kiss again. Startled, he closed his eyes. When he opened again, Hua Cheng was gone, police officers stormed into Mu Qing's house and found him injured in the kitchen. Dazed he could barely understand the others. His thoughts were focused only on one person Hua Cheng. He hardly noticed what happened afterwards. He was left behind, with mixed feelings of hatred and yet one Breath of love and broken heart. 

About a year after the incident, Mu Qing walked the streets alone and looked at the ground in silence. It's been a year since all of this happened. Mu Qing later found out that Feng Xin and Xie Lian had discovered that Hua Cheng was the killer and wanted to protect and save Mu Qing. Well, more or less, they did. Mu Qing himself no longer knew what to make of all of this. After all, he had feelings for him. But he also felt hatred for him in his chest. Nevertheless, he still felt the feeling of grief that he was gone now. Mu Qing had withdrawn and no longer wanted to have much to do in politics. Xie Lian promised him that as long as he would take care of everything. Mu Qing needed time to himself. 

But he felt empty and alone without Hua Cheng. No matter how much he wants to twist and turn it. The fact was that Hua Cheng wanted to kill him. Was all the time he spent with Hua Cheng really one-sided? Or had Hua Cheng also got feelings over the course of time? He'll probably never get an answer. He felt the loo in his throat. Tears that stung his eyes threatened to fall, which he tried to hold back. 

,,Didn't really mean anything to you ..?", This question was directed more to himself. 

Deep down, Mu Qing knew the answer. He loved Hua Cheng. He fell in love with a brutal murderer who wanted to kill him, but she Time he had spent with Hua Cheng showed him that Hua Cheng had soft sides. Such soft friendly sides that would never have made him suspicious. 

,,If you didn't care ... then come back..." 

Mu Qing almost shouted felt the tears run down his cheek, while frustrated he held on to the scaffolding of the bridge to find support. 

,,If you have felt something for me, then come back. Let's start over", he whispered softly. Two strong arms wrapped around his fragile, thin body.

,,Let's start over Xin Ye. "
