A month later, at Z-Base, Yun Huan was swirling the gla.s.s of wine in his hand and his gaze was frosty.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Lin Bai's voice. “Boss, I'm coming in.”

Lin Bai wore a white sweater. There was electricity at the base. Although it was snowing lightly outside, the house was very warm.

Lin Bai had a smile on his face, but it was just a faint smile. When he saw the gla.s.s of wine in Yun Huan's hand, Lin Bai shook his head helplessly and s.n.a.t.c.hed it away. “Boss, don't finish drinking all of Yiyi's wine. What if he gets mad when he returns?”

Yun Huan placed the gla.s.s down and crossed his legs. At the mention of Yiyi, Yun Huan's indifferent peach blossom eyes turned gentler. “Indeed.”

Lin Bai smiled faintly but sighed in his heart. Ever since that explosion a month ago, Boss had become more and more distant and emotionless like he didn't have a desire for anything. Lin Bai only hoped that Qin Yi could return quickly.

“Oh right, Boss, the Qin family seems to have been targeted. Ever since Zheng Zhong and Master Che left two weeks ago, it was very tough for the Qin family to get any missions or the missions were s.n.a.t.c.hed away once they got it. According to our investigation, this seemed to be related to a woman called Gao Qing.”

Yun Huan nodded slightly and didn't show any concern in his peach blossom eyes. “Pa.s.s this information on to Qin Hanyu. You don't have to care about anything else.”

“Sure,” Lin Bai responded, then got ready to leave.

“Wait,” Yun Huan stopped Lin Bai. “How is she?”

Lin Bai obviously knew who Yun Huan was referring to. “Chuchu didn't have any movements recently and merely stayed at home quietly. Oh, right, she is getting quite close to Qin Jiaojiao. Boss, should we take action?”

Lin Bai felt a nip in the air at the mention of Chuchu. He didn't expect that he, Lin Bai, would ever make an error of judgment. But if they really took action, it would be hard to handle Chu He.

“Hm, don't take action for the time being. I think the little guy would want to take care of her himself.” Yun Huan rubbed the brocade bag in his hand gently. Qin Yi's resolute gaze that day was still stuck in his mind.

“Big brother Huan, this is the most important thing to me and I'm handing it over to you right now. You must wait for me. Wait for my return to take it back.”

'Little guy, it's been almost a month. Why aren't you back yet?'

Yun Huan had a hint of love and gentleness on his face. This was the first time Lin Bai saw such a gentle Yun Huan ever since Qin Yi's accident. Lin Bai's heart was aching. He really hoped that Qin Yi would appear quickly, otherwise, Boss would really break down.

Three months later, the weather got colder, and snow was falling. Wei Liao sighed and looked out with a longing gaze.

His partner nudged and teased him. “Hey, who are you thinking about? You have the look of love on your face. Tell me, are you thinking about a lover?”

Teasing him was a tanned, burly man, and he looked strong and mighty. Wei Liao blushed slightly, then his eyes turned gloomy. “What are you talking about? I don't have a lover, w.a.n.g Zhi, don't talk nonsense.”

Wei Liao couldn't forget that person. Her smile seemed to still be right in front of him. Even after knowing that she was actually a guy, he still couldn't forget her.

But three months ago, this person actually lost her life in the village in front in order to save him. With that thought, Wei Liao's heart ached badly.

w.a.n.g Zhi didn't notice that something was wrong with Wei Liao as he leaned against Wei Liao with his back. The towering trees were blocking the wind and snow slightly and their bonfire was wavering like it was about to go out soon.
