Just as he said earlier, it only took him a few seconds to stop before the police station.
Ye Xiao Xie was standing next to his car outside. As long as he saw the yellow supra parking before him, he rolled his eyes.
"A-Ye~ How do you find it? It's brand new." Qian Deming was full of excitement as he drummed on the door through the window.
"Come get in."
Ye Xiao Xie looked him up and down.
"I won't get in." He said with an air of highness.
"Why? You don't trust my driving skills or what?" He tossed his hair and added, "You'll regret it."
Ye Xiao Xie declared in full indifference, "It's simply because you are inside it." He opened the door of his car and added, "Go Before me, I don't know where Madam Feng's house is." He was about to go in when he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, and don't think of any stupid moves. I know that you have a Supra, so no need to show up in the middle of the road. Those "Exhaust" things make me nervous."
"Fine, fine." Qian Deming giggled.
Ye Xiao Xie narrowed his eyes at him, "I'm speaking seriously."
"Okay, Okay, just stop watching me with those eyes, Detective Ye~"
Ye Xiao Xie didn't add a single word as he got in his car.
When they reached Madame Feng's house, this last one welcomed them with all kinds of house-baked sweets and dishes.
"Why did you trouble yourself that much? Madame?" Qian Deming asked with a slight smile after taking the dish from her hands, "Let me bring the rest of them, Go have some rest."
Madame Feng was so ashamed, seeing Qian Deming talking to her in such a good way after all the things she told him that day made her feel great guilt. She nodded at him, eyes about to shed tears at any second. She stayed next to Ye Xiao Xie. This last one smiled at her his accent was softer than when he talked to Qian Deming. He asked, "How's your sickness reacting, are you feeling better madame?"
Madame Feng smiled at him and said in her old exhausted voice, "I'm better… Mr. Qian sent me a box of medicine this morning."
"He did?" Ye Xiao Xie's gaze froze at the man who continued cooking the last dishes for a good while before he murmured next to her ear, "I get this, but are you sure that he knows how to cook?"
Madame Feng shook her head, "I've got no idea. This is the first time I've seen him with an apron… "
"My son, are things going well with you?" She asked with a half-worried expression.
Qian Deming played with the knife in his hands as he said in maximum confidence, "Yes, I'm handling this better than anything else."
Ye Xiao Xie rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Not better than showing off."
"I heard you~"
"Good." He responded with a half smile.
Madame Feng puffed a little laugh and asked, "You seem to be so close, are you friends?"
"You can say so" Qian Deming's hoarse voice came from behind, "Right, A-Ye?"
"No, we are not." He said after sipping his tea, "He is a liar."
Madame Feng, "Oh…"
When Qian Deming put the last dish down, he faced Ye Xiao Xie at the table, "Even if I don't get to the kitchen usually, I'm still a good chef." He winked at him and said, "But it's not the same for dishes."
In other words, it was "I did the cooking. You do the dishes."
Ye Xiao Xie got his backhanded indication, so he gave it a smile that was not quite a smile and took the plate from him. Instead of giving a straight answer to that indirect order, he poked fun at him, "No wonder those hands of yours are softer than a lady's."
The atmosphere was about to worsen if it wasn't for Madame Feng's relaxing voice that interrupted the men's challenging gazes and Qian Deming's upcoming parole.
"No, no need for such trouble, my sons. I'll do the dishes myself. I use bleach for cleaning, so I'm afraid that it would leave stains on your clothes." She smiled at Qian Deming, "Let's taste what you made us, Sorry for the trouble, son."
Out of consideration for that old woman's feelings, Ye Xiao Xie cut it off and tasted the hot Chow Mein, and Qian Deming nodded at her while overlooking his scanning stare. He said, "It's fine, I used to cook with my mother when I was little. My father also showed me many traditional dishes after she died."
Upon hearing that, for some reason, Ye Xiao Xie felt a little off.
A loving father and a caring mother…
That was the blessing he never got in life. Qian Deming discussed a lot of things with Madame Feng when this last one spaced out. He watched how the man before him was laughing and talking to that woman as if she was someone from his family.
Maybe he is not that bad. He thought.
Qian Deming noticed that He was watching him, so he took a spoon of soup and placed it next to his mouth.
"Say Aah~"
Uh… or maybe he rushed about that judgment?
He pushed his hand away as he said, "Stop these childish acts."
Madame Feng smiled gently, her wrinkled lips moved as she asked him, "Was the food to your liking, Detective Ye?"
Ye Xiao Xie stood up slowly and nodded at her, "Yes, it was so delicious." He gave Qian Deming a meaningful gaze and added, "Especially the Chow Mein. It was well cooked."
That was what Madame Feng heard. But for Qian Deming, It was as if he told him, "Don't believe it that much, your cooking sucks."
"Anyway, I have a lot of work ahead of me tomorrow, so I'll take my leave." He continued.
Madame Feng stood up as well and said, "Wait, you didn't eat the desserts you bought yet."
"Maybe next time?" Ye Xiao Xie said with a silly smile. "It's fine, you can have them with Professor Qian later. Thank you so much."
"And who said that there will be any next time?"
Upon hearing those words, four eyes were directed toward Qian Deming.
"What… what do you mean my son?" Madame Feng's face changed from a happy cheerful expression that lightened the surroundings, into a worried one.
The tall-haired man kept looking down silently, he did not say anything.
"Professor Qian, could you please explain?" Ye Xiao Xie wasn't able to watch the woman on the edge of shedding tears without doing anything. He needed to interfere.
"So it's like that…" The woman sobbed, "I knew that you wouldn't forgive me easily…"
She sat down heavily and put her wrinkled hand on his soft one.
"My son, I admit that I've wronged and hurt you with my words, but believe me… I… I wasn't…"
Qian Deming pushed away his chair and got on his knees in front of her as he said, "Don't think like that, madame Feng!"
He smiled at her warmly, "It's none of that. I wasn't even that upset from what you've said." He stopped for a while and added, "It was so normal for you to act like that… After all Feng Xuan was someone we all loved and respected. He was your only son and hope…" He looked through her tearful eyes and added, "I loved him like a little brother before loving him as a student, and I've always regarded you as a mother. So why would I be upset about two or three words?"
Ye Xiao Xie couldn't help but watch the scene in silence.
"Then… Then why did you say that?"
Qian Deming smiled. "It's only because I'm moving"
"M…Moving? To where?" Her eyes were surprised.
"I don't know yet." He extended his hand and wiped her tears, "No worries. When I go, I'll make sure that you know."
"If It was necessary, then good luck my son. I won't interfere in your life. It… it matters to me, but the final decision is always yours of course."
"Thank you…" He mumbled warmly, "Thank you for your care."
After a while of silence, he rose to his feet and said, "Guess I have to go as well. I'm kinda sleepy."
"You're feeling sleepy, yet planning to drive?" Ye Xiao Xie said in a serious tone.
Qian Deming winked at him without Madame Feng's notice and bowed afterward, "Have a good night."
"Okay then, good night my son." She bowed in front of Ye Xiao Xie and said, "Thank you so much for your help too, Detective Ye."
"No, no, that was just a part of my job, no need for such formalities, Madame." He said with a warm smile.
As soon as they walked away from her house, Ye Xiao Xie asked under the beautiful night sky, "Why did you wink at me, then?"
Qian Deming laughed and said, "Isn't that obvious? I lied, I'm not sleepy."
"And why would you lie?" He watched him with an askance gaze.
"Because I want to go out with you~"
Just like all the times he acted after hearing his stupid answers, Ye Xiao Xie rolled his eyes and rushed before him to his car.
"Hey! Why are you running away every time I say something funny?" Qian Deming rushed after him, "Is this what you get for being honest, A-Ye? You have no sense of humor, how lame!"
No straight words came out of that man's mouth indeed!
"Because it's disgusting!" Ye Xiao Xie said as he slammed the door on his face. Anyway, when he turned on the car, it refused to work.
"..."
He tried anew.
"..."
Again.
"..."
Shit! He cursed under his breath, What a good day!
He didn't get to try again until he heard knocking on the glass. It was Qian Deming with his usual sarcastic smile.
"What do you want, arrogant master?" Ye Xiao Xie asked with a slightly red face as he lowered the glass.
"Let me see…" the arrogant master leaned against the car and fiddled his hair before him seductively. He said, "This is a Q7 Audi, model 2007. I've heard that from time to time it refuses to start, right?"
"And who told you that it doesn't want to start?" Ye Xiao Xie said as he turned the key again and again, "It… just needs some patience"
"..."
"HAHAHA!"
He only felt how stupid his last sentence was after Qian Deming placed his hands on his belly and laughed like crazy.
"Oh god! Patience you said? Hahaha…" He went to his car and opened the door. "Then stay patient the whole night." He removed his glasses and placed them inside their sachet as he said, "Forget about that old ass car, I'll take you home with mine. You can take care of it tomorrow when it'll agree to work, hahaha"
No matter how Ye Xiao Xie tried to refuse, the feeling of sleep that took over him made his body move despite itself.
"Take me to the police station then. I'll take a taxi from there."
The doors closed automatically behind him as he watched the luxurious interior he just sat in.
"Taking a taxi after getting off my expensive Supra? No way. I'm not allowing that." Qian Deming said, "No worries, I won't visit you every day."
"Cut the crap and take me to the police station."
Qian Deming turned on the car. However, he didn't move right away. He rather eyed Ye Xiao Xie silently.
Ye Xiao Xie noticed him, so he felt a little discomfort as an unreasonable rage mounted his chest.
"What is it? Is this your first time seeing me? I'm here with you because I don't want to be late, not to be late, move already!"
Qian Deming clicked the buttons as he closed the windows. He got nearer to Ye Xiao Xie and said after looking at his pink lips seductively, "Do you have any idea why I'm watching you like this, hm?"
Ye Xiao Xie looked his face up and down as he said after smiling nervously, "Maybe you want me to break your joints."
"No, I have other things in mind." He puffed a little laugh as he got even closer to his face. Ye Xiao Xie wanted to push him away and get out of that damned car, but Qian Deming placed his hand on his dissolved hair and caressed it to the sides, "Seriously. Are you okay with moving around while your hair is messed up like this? I noticed it when we entered Madame Feng's house and god knows how much I hate it!"
Was that something of his business?
Ye Xiao Xie, "..."
"Are we going to move or not?" He asked, pressing every word.
"Hahaha, okay. Put on the belt and get ready." Qian Deming said after placing his hand on the gearshift, "By reaching the station, we will have to fix your hair again."
"Hey, what do you mean by fixing…!?" He didn't even continue his question when the yellow Supra left the place with an ear-damaging sound.
Seeing how the speedometer varied, Ye Xiao Xie's eyes couldn't help but expand.
"HEY! ARE YOU NUTS?!!" He asked, completely freaked out.
"Hahaha! Have I ever mentioned to you that I'm Lewis Hamilton's* ancestor?" Qian Deming turned on the volume of the music and commented, "Your lucky day! I love this song!"
(*one of the best drivers in the world google it for more info)
Lucky his ass! The man next to him was about to pass out!
It was kinda fine at first, but when they reached the main road, things got fucked up.
"The traffic light! The traffic light! THE FUCKING TRAFFIC LIGHT!!!" Ye Xiao Xie cried, "You'll commit a violation and crush us alone with your damned trash!!"
"Hahaha! Oh my god!" Qian Deming laughed, "Seeing you like that only gives me more audacity! Let's go~"
As soon as he finished his words, a truck came from the turn before them.
"Shit!" he cursed in a calm voice, that smile never leaving his lips. "Looks like we're done for~," He said in a sing-songy tone.
"Then stop the fucking car asswhole!"
Qian Deming narrowed his eyes.
Did he stop the car?
Of course not!
That only made him eager even more. His eyes shined in great excitement as he took out his tongue and pressed the gas pedal, hitting the speed limit.
Ye Xiao Xie leaned against his seat and closed his eyes.
That was the biggest mistake he ever made in life. Getting in this madman's car was the craziest thing he had ever done.
The truck signed at them after stopping immediately. Many cars stopped behind him, there were even ones that were on the edge of hitting each other if it wasn't for the fact that there weren't many cars that night. Heretofore, Qian Deming didn't give a shit.
"I'll nail it." He murmured, "When I count to three, bow your head A-Ye."
"One, Two…"
"Three!"
With him saying that he passed under the truck.
Ye Xiao Xie was able to hear the sound of the slight friction above his head.
Anyway, he noticed that Qian Deming didn't bow a single inch.
Is he a psychopath? He thought as he watched his insane smile, eyes wide. There is no way he could be in his right mind! This man wants to die, there are no maybes!
When the successful underride reached its end, another upcoming car surprised both of them. In any case, Qian Deming rolled the steering wheel and dodged it just to put his foot on the bark and turn the car in the right direction.
"Stop here! Stop here Qian Deming!!!" Ye Xiao Xie was nearly at the end of his wits. He was about to vomit and at the same time about to hit that man's face.
"Get me out of this hell or else I'll break your legs!"
"So excited to see you doing that~" Qian Deming laughed at him and said after stopping the car by the roadside, "Okay, but…" He extended his hand to touch his face but Ye Xiao Xie slapped it away. Anyway, he did not mind it. He rather laughed and went on, "If you got out now with this pale face, people would think that I was seizing you."
"Also… I don't think that this underride was quite successful." He placed his index on his chin and looked at the car top and gave it a thought, "Next time, I'll use my Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder rare edition. It's more suitable. It won't get scratched."
Without adding a single word or even commenting about the words "Next time", Ye Xiao Xie fought to open the door, but the latter locked it up and leaned against his chair as he watched the truck.
"Open this fucking shit!"
Qian Deming turned a deaf ear to him just to notice that the truck driver was still in his place watching them through the window with an angry expression.
Anyway, that wasn't what piqued his attention the most.
That man's face and that truck…
For some reason, he felt as if he had seen them before.
Damn it! It's one of Quan Yi Shao's men!
Fuck!!
He removed the belt and buried his face in Ye Xiao Xie's chest after raising the glass.
The latter, "..."
"Don't even think about moving, A-Ye. Stay like this for me for a few minutes."
Just like that, Ye Xiao Xie didn't move a single inch. However, he couldn't help but ask, "What is it?" He peeked at the truck and said, "Finally got your brains back, or what?"
His voice was so hoarse, coming straight from the chest Qian Deming was leaning on. That was truly attention-pecking for this last one's ears.
Ye Xiao Xie waited for an answer, but he heard nothing except the music that had been looping since he got in.
"So now you learned how to shut that mouth of yours…" He watched the truck that finally took the turn to leave before he added, "You are so lucky. He left without any problems."
When Qian Deming knew that it left he finally sighed in relief.
If they saw him with Ye Xiao Xie, things would get a little out of control. Especially that he was aware that Abraham had many doubts about him. Anyway, he didn't have to make the man under his weight now sense anything either. So, he raised his head and said with a grimace next to his chin, "No, it's just that I remembered I left my checkbook at home."
"If you want to take anyone for a ride next time, ask them first if they have tried jumping into a volcano's pit or not," Ye Xiao Xie said as he watched the road. Anyway, when he bent his head to watch him, their noses were about to touch.
"..."
Aren't they too close?
He was about to talk when Qian Deming pointed his finger at the lyrics tablet without moving his gaze from him. He mumbled with a desiring look in his eyes, "Shh… It's my favorite part of this song."
~Na Na-Na looking at you
Na Na-Na you know what I'm tryna do~
Ye Xiao Xie wasn't too good at English, so his eyes went straight to the Chinese translation in the lower part of the screen.
Qian Deming continued with the song, making Ye Xiao Xie feel his hot breath directly on his lips.
"Oh, I know you feel it so don't… No, don't keep me waiting here~"
Ye Xiao Xie watched him silently for a short while. He felt as if he was hitting on him with that part, so this time, he didn't push him away or throw a bunch of curses on his face like he did every time. But he rather scrutinized his lips as well.
"Just tell me exactly what you want. Who are you, Professor Qian? I want to know your reality."
Qian Deming's eyelashes moved up and down in a slow rhythm, peeking between Detective Ye's lips and eyes.
"You're gonna guess who I am yourself." He moved his hand slowly toward his Adam's apple and touched it gently, "How do you find me, dear Detective?"
"Arrogant and childish" Despite the hot whiff, Ye Xiao Xie answered with a straight face and a calm voice.
Those fair fingers wandered slowly along his neck until they attained his chest. However, as soon as he unbuttoned the upper part of his blue dress-shirt, a turbulent hand captured it like a trap.
"Don't get any bolder." Ye Xiao Xie's voice was so hot and strong that it even made the latter feel every letter of it vibing all over his body.
"Alright, I won't…" A mischievous smile formed on his lips as he held his hand hostage between those rough fingers, "What about my cooking, how did you find it?"
"It sucks."
"My driving skills?"
"That was madness not skills."
"My face?"
"I don't care."
"My lips?"
"..."
Again, Ye Xiao Xie found himself watching that cunning man in silence.
The only sound that filled their ears was the song that refused to stop and the strong melody of their hearts.
~What you've done to me now~
~I want your love on me love on me now ~
~Give it all to me now~
Both men gazed at each other.
Call it hate, dislike, or even shameless desires. Their lips were barely attached as they both felt their sizzling whiffs.
Unexpectedly…
"Hahaha, okay then~," Qian Deming said as he retreated.
He was about to start the car when Ye Xiao Xie grabbed his head from behind, gathering his well-fixed black strands with his strong hand, and pressed his lips against his nervously.
Just like how a manly madman does after receiving a great dose of arousal, he bit Qian Deming's lower lip furiously and liked it as this last one watched the glass in great surprise. By feeling the slight pain in his head and the mania of those lips that swallowed him, every muscle on his body loosened in his grip.
He would've lied if he said that that kiss was expected, even in a thousand years.
To be honest, that was his first time experiencing such an exciting sinful sensation.
Anyway, the feeling only lasted a few minutes before Ye Xiao Xie loosened his hand, leaving his hair completely messed up.
Eyebrows relaxed and the eyes watched through the other party's eyes as if nothing happened, Ye Xiao Xie ordered, "Open the door now" He buttoned his collar and added with a slight frown, "I gave you what you were seeking, so never show your face before me again."
Even if that kiss was not quite a kiss, Qian Deming still enjoyed it. He rubbed his lips together, using Ye Xiao Xie's hot saliva like lipstick.
"That was not quite it." Smiling cunningly, his hand sneaked to his lower abdomen as he added, "I've had higher expectations."
Ye Xiao Xie frowned as he prevented him from wandering any longer.
"To hell along with your so-called "higher expectations". I'll let you take me home instead, deal?"
Qian Deming chuckled, "That's a bit more like it. I'm not starving for it anyway, so it's a deal~"
"But If I saw any of your fancy cars around, I'd break your head."
"I'm marking those words, A-Ye won't see any of my fancy cars around his house. That's a promise."
"..."
How guile!
With that, he turned on the car anew and drove normally this time, leaving all the chaos he caused behind.
/////
"A-Ye, I'm curious about something."
"What is it?" Ye Xiao Xie gave him a side gaze.
"How did you get my number?"
"Do you think that I cannot know everything about you if I wanted to?"
"Yes, I do." His answer was short but meaningful.
Riding at that reasonable speed gave both of them the time to think their words well before letting them out. They also got the chance to feel how calm that summer night was.
Ye Xiao Xie fell silent for a long while.
Qian Deming was right.
He wanted to ask something, however, he ended up canceling the idea and asking instead about the well-being of that man's father.
"So, how is your father doing? I haven't got any news about him since that day."
Qian Deming smiled warmly and said, "You finally asked." He peeked at the beautiful sky and said, "He's fine."
"You seem so attached to him…"
"..."
The latter did not utter a word, and when he moved his lips, he ended up changing the topic.
"Was that your first kiss as well?" He asked with a smile.
"..."
Forget it.
"No answers? Looks like you've got a loud life, dear detective."
No comments.
That was his first one as well, no lies.
"Take this turn." Ye Xiao Xie focused on reaching his home safe and sound before anything else.
Qian Deming nodded.
When they finally reached the residence, the first thing Ye Xiao Xie did was light up a cigarette after leaving the car.
Qian Deming stayed inside as he commented zealously, "You knew many things indeed."
Ye Xiao Xie let out the thick smoke and said, "No, I still need to know more." He narrowed his eyes, "I don't even know who you are, Mr. Qian."
"Trust me…" Qian Deming mumbled as he looked down, "You don't need to know that much about me."
"There are things, even I wish I didn't know." His tone was kind of off, but Ye Xiao Xie acted as if he didn't notice.
"What about the matter of your moving? Where do you want to go?"
"And why would I tell you?" Qian Deming played with his hair again, "Wanna go with me or what?"
"Then forget it."
That tone was so indifferent, therefore that gave the man inside the car no desire to explain either. He only mumbled, "Wherever I go, you'll know, I promise."
Ye Xiao kept that last sentence in mind. He tapped on the car top after examining it.
"This scratch is so bad for a brand new car, you'll need to fix it." He said in a sarcastic tone.
"No need, I'll just buy another one if it is necessary"
"..."
"Seriously, how many cars do you have?"
"More than you can imagine. I can have a car company if I want, there is no question."
Ye Xiao Xie tossed the cigarette and stepped on it.
"Alright, Mr. Rich. Have a good night, it's half past midnight now." he stepped away just to hear Qian Deming mumble in a calm tone.
"Good night… A-Ye."
With that, the yellow supra left the place with its usual rumbling sound.
When Ye Xiao Xie closed his door, the first thing he did was call Xian Wen.
"You still awake?"
Xian Wen was trapped in a mess of papers in his bureau. He said while tapping on the keyboard, "Yes, I'm working on another case."
"Alright…" Ye Xiao Xie patted Su Su's head and then removed his shoes. "I want you to find something for me."
Xian Wen sipped his coffee and said, "What is it?"
"I want all the information about this truck and its owner by tomorrow. The license plate is Ji J-L9056."
"Alright, I'll inform the others."
By the time he cut the line, Ye Xiao Xie found himself laying on his bed without even removing his uniform.
He placed his hand on his lips gently as he thought about what he had just done a few minutes ago.
His act was out of control. It was not on purpose or any sort of challenge. In other words, he wasn't able to regulate himself in front of that man. He lost against Qian Deming's seduction easily.
He lost the first battle against him shamefully and both of them were real aware of this fact.
What a loser.
He tried to close his eyes and forget about it but…
He still needed to focus on one more thing…
He must know what's under Qian Deming's head in no time. Be it tomorrow or the day after it, that man is not a normal figure so he shouldn't lower his guard any second.

Mini interview:
Xiao Xiao: So, could you explain please what have you done in this chap, Mr. Ye?
Ye Xiao Xie: *nervous* I don't want to think about it.
Xiao Xiao: But you literally remembered it first before falling asleep.
Ye Xiao Xie: You're searching for trouble, don't you?
Qian Deming: Hehehe, she said nothing but the truth.
Ye Xiao Xie: Where did you come from?!
Qian Deming: Your imagination darling~
