“No one has been here.”

Xiao Qianchuan lowered his head and shrank back into the quilt.

He felt that he shouldn't have concealed the matter about Xiao He and Xiao He from Officer Ling.

But before this, he had asked Lanbo to investigate Brother He in the hospital without the other party's knowledge, and Xiao Qianchuan didn't want Officer Ling to know this.

If I tell Officer Ling everything now, he will definitely think that my concealment is due to my lack of trust in him.

Xiao Qianchuan didn't want to deceive Officer Ling, but he didn't want him to misunderstand him even more.

His mind was too confused tonight, and he still had some things to think through. At this moment, he just hoped that the other party would not ask anything. After he had sorted out the clues, he would think about how to explain to Officer Ling.

Xiao Qianchuan pulled the quilt to cover half of his head and pretended to be so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.

No one has been here?

Hearing Xiao Qianchuan say this, Ling Rizhao's heart sank instantly.

God knows that when Xiaogu came to him, because he was worried about Xiao Qianchuan's situation, he almost did not hesitate and immediately agreed to another proposal made by Luo Xie.

Ling Rizhao didn't even have time to figure out the trap before he rashly made a deal with the evil creature.

He ran back to the seventh floor from the basement level without stopping. He was extremely relieved to see that Xiao Qianchuan was fine.

But Xiao Qianchuan lied to him.

Ling Rizhao's efforts were in vain. A deep feeling of powerlessness weighed on him, almost draining his spine.

He has no regrets, just disappointment.

Disappointed in my own incompetence and disappointed in my lack of trust.

Ling Rizhao took a few steps back. His stiff legs and feet were unable to keep up with the commands from his brain. His knees trembled violently when they hit the chair behind him, and he almost fell to the ground.

The previous explosive overdrawn made Ling Rizhao completely exhausted. With the help of the backrest of the chair, he slowly leaned back and sat down, his expression full of fatigue.

The noise made it impossible for Xiao Qianchuan, who was lying on the bed, to pretend to be asleep.

He turned over, revealing a pair of big eyes from under the quilt, staring at the man in front of him, with a bit of worry unconsciously in his heart.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I just felt that you were very cold. Did you catch a cold? Or did you run into something?"

Ling Rizhao half lowered his head, one hand on his forehead, gently rubbing his temple. All his expressions were hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

"I'm fine. It's windy outside and a little cold. I'll be fine in a while. You go to sleep!"

"how about you?"

Seeing that Officer Ling seemed to have a headache, Xiao Qianchuan consciously moved towards the bed.

"Why don't you lie down and take a rest?"

Xiao Qianchuan actually wanted to persuade Officer Ling to go back to the doctor's duty room to have a good rest. But he knew without even opening his mouth that the other party would definitely refuse.

Under normal circumstances, with Officer Ling's physical fitness, let alone sleeping on the floor, even if he didn't sleep for two days, he would probably be able to practice a set of military boxing at any time.

However, the opponent's condition is obviously not very good now. Xiao Qianchuan is worried that he will get sick if he is frozen all night, which will be a big trouble.

"This bed is a little small, but you always say I'm skinny, don't you? Now it shows some advantages. I don't take up much space. We can squeeze together and it will be warmer."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted the bed board, "This iron bed should be quite sturdy."

The way Xiao Qianchuan tried so hard to promote his half of the bed made Ling Rizhao want to laugh.

How can this person be so cute and hateful at the same time?

It made his heart beat wildly.

Ling Rizhao looked at the empty half of the bed and really wanted to nod and agree.

But his reason told him that he couldn't.

He shook his head and seemed to be able to hear the rustling of his neck bones.

"No thanks. I'll sleep on the couch later."

"But……"

Ling Rizhao didn't listen to Xiao Qianchuan's advice. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but nod, so he had to interrupt the other party forcefully.

"I'm a man too."

The words were said in a tactful way, but to Xiao Qianchuan they sounded very straightforward. He heard it clearly and thought it through, so he tactfully chose to shut up and say no more.

Officer Ling is a good teammate who is trustworthy, and he is also a man. He has normal physiological needs and desires for the person he likes.

Xiao Qianchuan clearly knew what the other person meant, but he subconsciously ignored his feelings.

Sleeping in the same bed, he can even use hypnosis cards to force himself to sleep, but what about Officer Ling?

He shouldn't have done that!

Xiao Qianchuan realized belatedly that he had made the invitation without thinking twice.

He moved his body back to the middle of the bed little by little as if nothing had happened, and mechanically pulled up the quilt, completely covering his head.

Ling Rizhao looked at the little movements of the person in front of him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, the person on the bed finally began to breathe steadily and fall into a deep sleep.

The blood in his body that had been stagnant for a long time began to flow slowly, and Ling Rizhao gradually regained some strength. He tried to clench his fist, but his palm was so numb that he could hardly feel the existence of his fingertips.

But at least he was able to get up and move around.

Ling Rizhao supported himself on the back of the chair and slowly stood up, trying not to make any noise, so as not to disturb the person who had finally fallen asleep.

He moved closer to the bed, trying to cover Xiao Qianchuan's shoulders with the quilt. However, his fingers wouldn't obey him, so he had to tuck the corner of the quilt with his palm, then turned and walked towards the sofa.

Almost at the moment his body touched the sofa, Ling Rizhao sank into it and didn't want to move at all.

The weakness in his body, the dull pain in his head and the stimulation on his nerves made Ling Rizhao extremely tired. His eyes went dark and he fell into a half-faint and half-asleep state.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, there was no more noise in the entire hospital. The creaking sound in the ward seemed particularly harsh at this moment.

Xiao Qianchuan woke up almost the moment the voice sounded.

"what?"

Xiao Qianchuan's eyes widened suddenly.

In the dark ward, a broken skeleton stood at the head of the bed. Xiao Qianchuan almost didn't realize that it was his newly recruited little brother, and he almost kicked the guy's cracked spine and broke it.

He rubbed his eyes, sat up irritably, and glanced towards the sofa.

Fortunately, Officer Ling was not woken up.

"what's up?"

Xiao Qianchuan's voice was hoarse from not waking up yet, and he lowered his voice a few notches on purpose, with a hint of lingering laziness.

The skeleton's whole body trembled, and it stretched out its hand with two missing finger bones and touched the profile of the person in front of it.

With a snap, the only three remaining finger bones on the palm were broken by Xiao Qianchuan's slap.

"what are you doing?"

Xiao Qianchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of ferocity.

Like a cat that only has its owner, being rubbed by a stranger. Its fur all stood up, and it looked so fierce that it seemed like it was going to turn into a man-eating tiger in the next second.

"Have you completed what I asked you to do? Has that person been found?"

The skull's jaw opened and closed, and the crisp clicking sound brought out a mechanical and dull response.

"Found it."

Xiao Qianchuan's eyes lit up and all sleepiness disappeared.

"Where is he?"
