I couldn't even answer them all because there were soooooo many! O_o but please know that I read them all and is very thankful . So here's a fast update for ya'lls ;).

***********

Xia Hao gingerly sat down, his sore body felt as if it had been severely beaten.

His mind was in a chaotic state: What the hell happened?

The only impression he had was him and Xuan Da Yu had a dispute over something, then they ended up in one place......then it turned out like this. But Xia Yao couldn't understand, what kind of conflict did he have with Xuan Da Yu? Since they were small, Xuan Da Yu would always listen to him, protect him, and even in a drunken state Xuan Da Yu would never raise a finger!

And even if he had done something, he could not have been so heavy handed... could he? Why were our clothes stripped? I'm even tied to the bed! What are these pink marks all about? Were these made before or after my clothes were off?

Xia Yao didn't dare to think any further, the more he thought about it, the darker the situation became.

If this had been in the past, he would've easily laughed it off as a prank, 'cause what can two men really do? It could simply be a childish game of police chasing a prisoner. However, since he and Yuan Zong became like that, Xia Yao's mind couldn't stop itself from thinking about multiple possibilities. All kinds of impossible outcomes have now turned possible.

Not to mention, Xia Yao has been under loads of pressure these past few days, so with a couple of glasses from last night, he may have mistaken Xuan Da Yu for Yuan Zong, and then "rolled around in bed" with him. Such possibility cannot be ruled out!

In Xia Yao's eyes, Xuan Da Yu was totally normal.

Instead, it's him who...

Little did Xia Yao know, Xuan Da Yu's line of thought has strayed even further than his. His best friend was also having a hard time figuring everything out.

What did I do last night?

Xuan Da Yu's impression on the previous night was that after exiting the club, Xia Yao displayed all kinds of affections, which in turn made him excited, leading to his decision to piggy-back Xia Yao home. On the way home, he only remembered constantly confirming whether the person he was carrying was Xia Yao or not, finally settling that this indeed was the real Xia Yao.

And then what happened next? After the confirmation what did they do?

Not in his wildest dreams could Xuan Da Yu have possibly imagined, that after tirelessly carrying someone, he ended up mistaking them for somebody else.

Everything was a mess, Xuan Da Yu's head was stuck in a rut.

All he could see was the "reality" in front, he'd tied Xia Yao to the bed, there were "hard-proofs" of committed crime everywhere on their bodies. Plus in a little bit of speculation, and he knew the culprit couldn't escape.

Xuan Da Yu silently wept in sorrow: How could I have had so little control? The meat was brought to me and I couldn't resist. What a sin!

After eyeing Xuan Da Yu who was regretting having been too rough, Xia Yao decided to open his mouth first.

"What happened last night...everything was a blur, you know, so I'll pretend like it never happened."

Xuan Da Yu was shocked, like it never happened?

Countless ways of how Xia Yao could have reacted had crossed his mind, but he was at a loss with Xia Yao's words. Xuan Da Yu glances at Xia Yao again, no anger, no sadness, no disappointment, not a single hint of wanting to get revenge...

The only visible expression written on his face was: Just keep your mouth shut about this!

Such reaction surpassed Xuan Da Yu's expectation. Is Xia Yao's psychological tolerance really so strong?

"You know, I'm not afraid if people finds out, I will take responsibility for you." Xuan Da Yu said.

Xia Yao instantly yelled, "Fuck off!"

Xuan Da Yu laughed evilly, and began putting on his clothes. Xia Yao also went to do the same thing, but even after throwing the blankets up, he was unable to find his underwear. He then threw himself over the bed to search for his clothes on the ground, but they were nowhere to be found. In such situations, a normal person would already be up and about in their birthday suit to find their missing clothes, however, today's situation called for a more subtle approach. Doing such thing in front of his best friend suddenly didn't feel so comfortable anymore.

Xuan Da Yu found Xia Yao immobile on the bed and couldn't hold back a ridicule, "What are you spacing out for?"

"Spacing out your ass!" Xia Yao grumbled, "I can't find my clothes!"

Upon hearing that, Xuan Da Yu quickly got down from the bed and went to help Xia Yao. He finally found the discarded clothes scattered everywhere on the sofa. The underwear was dangling on the back-rest, the coat laid in a heap on the floor, there was a crumpled shirt collar, and rolled up leggings. At a glance it was enough to notice this wasn't naturally taken off but had been forcefully pulled off by somebody else.

Xuan Da Yu nearly got a nosebleed, what an intense battle it was last night!

"Can't find it?" Xia Yao urgently called out from the bedroom.

Xuan Da Yu quickly regained his calm and turned away.

"Found it." He handed Xia Yao's clothes over.

Underneath Xuan Da Yu's watchful gaze, Xia Yao rapidly donned on his clothes, got out of bed, picked up his bags, and was out of there in less than ten minutes.

Back at his unit, Xia Yao, remaining silent, stared the computer in front of him, then frantically searched online: feeling painful in my "little daisy" the next morning, have I been abused?Eventually, he couldn't find any way to examine if he had been "anal raped" or not, and only found a funny story.

The story was about a man who went to a convenient store to buy some Xuehua beer. Being drunk on his way home, he was raped by an opportunist bastard. On the next day, he, again, bought some Xuehua beer, got drunk, and was abused by the same guy. Days after that, the man visited that store again but changed the brand of the beer. The owner asked: why not Xuehua? The man awkwardly laughed: I won't lie to you but my anus fucking hurts whenever I drink your Xuehua beer.

Xia Yao burst out laughing, then suddenly thought of something, quickly withdrawing his smiles, and instead, in its place was a frown.

Because his "little daisy" was also aching.

Consumed with unclear panic, Xia Yao went on an LGBT social network, clicked the Gay section, and looked for posts related to anal intercourse. Then he found an "experienced one" thoroughly explaining this process to him.

"It's like this, "anal sex" is hard-core sex that requires skilled techniques, and ranks much higher on the scale in comparison to self-destruction. Especially if it is done abusively, without lubricant, it'll be severely painful, causing bleeding and injury for sure. I'm sure you'll remember for life the feeling of that worse than death ache. If you don't have any of these clear signs, it's eighty percent that you weren't abused, if there was no lubricant in that situation, no blood and injuries, then nothing happened for one hundred percent."

Xia Yao thought back, blood and injuries are definitely crossed off the list, it wasn't a piercing pain either, but rather his whole bottom hurt. As for lubrication, it was not used for sure. Xuan Da Yu isn't Yuan Zong, why would he have lubrication?

Err...is that indicating that I only use it with Yuan Zong?

Nope! It's not like that!

The "experienced one's" explanation not only cleared up Xia Yao's concern, but also added a worry. Basically "anal sex" is a horrible and dangerous action, and he must be extremely careful not to be violated.

"Xia Yao!"

Xiao Hui's sudden shout pulled Xia Yao's mind back to reality.

"What ya watching? Looking so serious?" Xiao Hui walked towards Xia Yao.

Xia Yao hurriedly closed the web, "Nothing."

Xiao Hui passed him some files, "Didn't you ask me to help you with Wang Zhi Shui's family background? Here, I've got them. He still has a few uncles around, they're all in this profile. The address to help you look for more information is above."

Xia Yao patted his shoulders, "My bosom friend! I'll treat you a meal some other day!"

"No need to."

Xia Yao's gaze fixed on that profile, Langfang, Yongqing County...The shortest route might take about six to seven hours at least, plus the time searching for these people, then about ten hours in total. Tomorrow is a day off, in that case, we must quickly decide if we want to stay one day and one night or not. We'll have to set off tonight.

Should I call Xuan Da Yu?

In fact, Xia Yao dig up this information for Xuan Da Yu, he himself felt like he should clear this up. Perhaps it is because of his profession's habit, making him want to find the roots of every problem. Knowing that in comparison to him, Xuan Da Yu was even more obsessed, so Xia Yao still gave him a call in the end.

This could be a good chance to clear up last night's misunderstanding.

After dinner, having rest for nearly three hours, the two secretly rented a car to hit the road.

On the way, Xuan Da Yu kept pondering: if we caught Wang Zhi Shui in his home this time around then what shall we do next? Happily beat him to pulp, writing off old grudges? Or tell his family about his wrong doings so that he can't utter a word of redemption?

While Xuan Da Yu was in deep thoughts, Xia Yao called him with a low voice.

"Da Yu ah!"

Xuan Da Yu recovered himself, tilted his face and looked at Xia Yao, "What?"

Worried that the driver could hear them, Xia Yao waved at Xuan Da Yu, whispering, "Come here."

Xuan Da Yu brought his ear towards Xia Yao's mouth.

Xia Yao took a deep breath, opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

How should he put it? I did some research yesterday and discovered that we are totally innocent? But why am I talking about that? Surely Xuan Da Yu would never think of us doing that last night? Won't I expose myself, then?

Xuan Da Yu waited forever without hearing any words from Xia Yao, rushed him, "Will you just say it, huh?"

"It's nothing." Xia Yao smirked.

Xuan Da Yu smiled back, he smiled and pinched Xia Yao's face.

"How old are you? So childish!"

For a moment, when Xuan Da Yu continued with his thoughts, Xia Yao called again.

"Da Yu ah!"

Having waited for Xuan Da Yu to come closer, he still said nothing.

Xuan Da Yu's caring gaze stayed fixed on Xia Yao, "Are you still a little dozy? Come here, lie on my thigh to sleep." Then he grabbed Xia Yao's hand, intending to hug him.

Xia Yao quickly dodged his hug, "I'm not sleepy."

Forget it then... Xia Yao thought, blabbering "on and off" might in turn annoy him, Xuan Da Yu doesn't seem to mind our little mishap, then let it be!
