After coming up with a general framework, Xiao Feng and Hu Cheng worked on the details. When Xu Lan was done with his cigarette, he rested on the sofa while waiting for Xiao Zhang to come back with a new packet of cigarettes. Xu Lan felt relaxed and ended up falling asleep in the noisy and smokey office. Greenish dark shadows lurked under his eyes and his stubble was long and rough.
"Bai…"
"Hush!" Wang Meng saw Bai Wu coming in and tried to greet him but was hushed by Bai Wu, who gestured with an index finger on his lips.
The people in the office opened up a path for Bai Wu, who made his way to a sound-asleep Xu Lan.
"Bai Wu?" Xu Lan felt someone carrying him. Xu Lan asked, half awake, with a hoarse voice.
"Uh huh, I'm here. Get some sleep."
Bai Wu embraced Xu Lan and stroked his back gently. Xu Lan closed his eyes and tears were flowing. Bai Wu patted off his tears gently and landed a soft kiss between his brows.
