As both of them look at each other, the door suddenly opens.
Bi BI, Lo Lo and Kai Ge came in awkwardly.
"Sorry, we came into the wrong room," as Bi Bi said and pulled the other two to leave. But Yu Xuan stops them.
"Come back inside," as he called out, and wore back his shirt.
The three of them have no choice, but obediently walks back in. They look at Li Yi, who is still staring at Yu Xuan.
"We brought you some flowers and food." Lo Lo broke the silence, and put the stuff on the table. "Are you hungry, Boss?" as Kai Ge takes out the food. "Right, we brought you some food." Bi Bi went up to help Kai Ge, but they still find the situation still tense up.
Both of them oddly stare at each other, and three of them don't know what happened between them.
Li Yi won't leave until she finds out where he got that scar from. She hardly stares at him and asks again. "Answer me. Where did you get that from?" This time all three of them stop and all look at the two of them.
"It's none of your business. I have no obligation to tell you everything. You are just one of my colleagues, so just mind your own business."
Hearing what Yu Xuan said, Li Yi turns around and hurtfully walks away.
Li Yi walks all the way down to the main entrance of the hospital and stops.
She realized that she forgot her phone upstairs, and didn't want to go back there anymore. Before how she left like that, is a little over. She is just his colleague, and she has no rights to make him answer any of those questions. But in Li Yi's heart, she needed a definite answer from him. It's an answer that Li Yi has been searching for so many years.
"It's just getting back my phone. It's not a big deal or anything." She brainwashed herself from what happened before, and decided to go back upstairs.
Once she arrives outside his room, she realizes her brother and Yu Xuan are talking. 'Are they friends,' as she thought to herself. She then remembers that they were laughing before. Li Yi suddenly hid behind a pillar, as she heard footsteps. The door opens and Li Xiang walks out.
She watches as her brother walks and disappears into the hallway. Li Yi takes a huge deep breath and walks into the room. And again she forgot to knock on the door.
Awkward rises again.
"I'm sorry to bother you guys. I-I came to get my phone." Li Yi averted her eyes and quickly grabbed her phone. She closes the door behind her and all of a sudden her heart is flustered.
It felt like she just saw something that she wasn't supposed to see. But she doesn't know why she feels so weird. Li Yi shakes all the thoughts away, and leaves the hospital.
Back at home, Li Yi went straight to her bed and laid down. Today there weren't many things to do at the station, so everyone left early. Li Yi looks at the ceiling, and her brain suddenly rushes all the things that had happened today.
First it was the scar and then what she saw. "AHHHHH!, why am I thinking about this." She rolled out her bed and went to take a shower.
Three days have passed, and Yu Xuan went back to work.
"Boss, your back already? You don't need to rest a little bit longer?" as Kai Ge asks him.
Yu Xuan stops on his way and stares at Kai Ge. "You don't want to welcome me back?" as he said it in a tone that could make everyone hide from him.
Kai Ge awkwardly laughs, "you are so funny. How could I not want you to be back? You don't even know how much I've missed you."
Yu Xuan stares at him and walks to his desk.
Bi Bi and Lo Lo both laugh at Kai Ge. On the other hand, Li Yi is just working on her report and didn't bother to say anything.
There isn't much work to do today. It was mostly writing reports.
As the time almost hits 5pm, Li Yi starts packing her stuff.
Bi Bi looks at her, "Li Yi, your going?"
Li Yi nodded her head. "Yea, I finished everything already. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye." She did finish everything, and she said bye to them, she purposely looked at Yu Xuan's direction. But he was so concentrated in his work to care.
Li Yi puts on a smile and walks out of the station.
She didn't want to go home yet, and instead she drove to the boxing gym.
"Long time no see," as the coach greets her.
Li Yi has a black belt in taekwondo and had started playing boxing a few years ago. But she hasn't gone to the gym for almost a few months since she is so busy.
Li Yi went to the girl's locker and changed into her gears.
She got on the stage and exercised her body before starting. "Are you ready?" as the coach looks at her. She nodded and started practicing with the coach.
After thirty minutes, Li Yi could feel all her muscles sore and ended the day right there. She hasn't had such an intense workout for so long. But she likes it. All her stress, and worries have completely gone from her mind.
She takes out her phone and calls Li Xiang. "Are you done with work?" as she asks.
"No, why?"
"Then never mind."
As she was about to hang up the phone, she hesistitates for a second but decided to ask him. "Are you friends with Zhang Yu Xuan?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Just answer me first."
There was a long pause in the line.
*DU-DU-DU-DU*
Li Yi took a look at her phone and the call ended.
"Wow, I see how it is. Li Xiang, you are in big trouble." She put down her phone, and went straight home.
The next day, there was a new case.
Three dead bodies were found near the dumpster, and what's weird about it was all the organs are taken out by the murderer.
"Who would do something this cruel," as Bi Bi pointed out.
"Someone who is cold blooded, and inhuman." Kai Ge shakes his head.
Lo Lo came running back. "Boss, less than a mile from here, we found the organs inside a garbage bin."
The body and organs were sent to the forensic pathologist. While waiting for the reports, the team has started there searching for murderer and victims' identities.
They did recorded statements on the person that founded the bodies.
But either from that, there's no new information yet. The reports on the body and other evidence found, won't be coming out yet till a few hours later.
The team sat there looking over the statements from other people, but all of them say they don't know who they might be. Or didn't see any suspicious people nearby. There were also no cameras in that area, so they're stuck in the dead end right now.
Don't know how many hours have passed and the phone rings.
It was Li Yi's phone that was ringing. She picks up the phone without checking who the caller was.
"Hello?" as she said it quietly.
"Li Yi, it's mom. Are you still at work?" After hearing who it was, Li Yi wished she could've just no pick up the phone in the first place.
"Mom, just go straight to the point. I'm very busy right now, so speak fast."
"Why are you acting like this? I'm just asking my daughter to come home to eat dinner. Is that so hard?"
"Mom, I can't go back right now. Why don't you ask Li-." Li Yi paused for a moment. She promised her brother that she won't tell their parents yet. "Mom, I'll find time and come back. I really have to go right now. I'll talk to you later." She ends the phone, and ties her hair up.
Today is gonna be a very long night.
The forensics sent over the reports, and everyone started working.
Everyone worked so hard that they don't even know what time it is already.
The clock hit 2am, and all of them fell asleep beside Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan checks the time and looks over at them. His eyes averted to Li Yi's direction, who had been fast asleep on her desk.
He got up, took his jacket, and walked over to Li Yi. Yu Xuan gently places his jacket over her. He brushes her hair, and smiles. As he was about to walk back, a hand grabbed his wrist.
"Don't go." A delicate voice called out.
Yu Xuan looks down at his wrist and turns around. Li Yi is still asleep, but is strongly gripping on his wrist.
As he tries to release her grip, Yu Xuan suddenly remembers the call from Li Xiang.
…..
Yesterday night.
"Hello?"
"Yu Xuan, it's me."
"Did something happen?"
"I think Li Yi found out about you. She's been asking me about you, but I didn't say anything. What are you going to do about it?"
Yu Xuan didn't say anything. There was a very long silence.
"Yu Xuan?" as Li Xiang calls out.
"Just keep helping me ,and not tell her. I'll figure out a time to explain to her if she asks." Yu Xuan ended the phone call with complicated thoughts and feelings.
…..
Present day.
Morning comes and Li Yi slowly awakens. She checks the room, and everyone's still asleep. She quietly got up, and realized Yu Xuan's jacket was on her.
'Did he put this on me?' as she wonders.
She gazed towards his table, but didn't see anyone there. Li Yi scans around the room, but doesn't see him anywhere.
Suddenly there's a voice coming out from the meeting room. It seems like Yu Xuan and someone is talking.
Li Yi walks over to the meeting room, and stops in front of the door.
"Yu Xuan Ge Ge, why won't you like me?" A girl holds Yu Xuan's hand and desperately looks at him.
Yu Xuan didn't say anything.
"If there's something that you don't like about me, I can change. Please Yu Xuan Ge Ge, I can't live without you." She continues to pester him.
Li Yi, who was standing by the door, believes that she shouldn't stand there and eavesdrop anymore. As she was about to pick up her feet and walk away, her elbow hits the cases of boxes in the corner.
Yu Xuan opens the door and sees Li Yi crouching down.
Li Yi didn't stand up, and at the same time she saw the girl. The girl wraps her hand around her arm and looks down at Li Yi.
Li Yi finished picking the rest of the boxes, and looked at them nervously.
"I-I…" Li Yi tries to explain, but the words wouldn't come out her mouth. She just wishes someone would come out and save her from this awkward situation.
She nervously tightens her fist. And not knowing why she's acting like this, someone suddenly calls out her name.
"Li Yi, can you come over here. You got a phone call."
Li Yi gets back to her instincts, and walks away.
"How come she is so afraid of you?" as the girl asks.
"Is she?" Yu Xuan smirks.
