Had he never hesitated for the sake of someone else? Living in solitude must be just so nice.

Do you want to join them? Mu Qiqi leaned against Feng Shanshans shoulders. Look at your eyes. They were fixated on Officer Tang.

Was I that obvious? Feng Shanshan asked.

Go and look into the mirror yourself, Feng Shanshan. Your gaze is just the same as mine before.

Same as yours?

You seem to be wanting to eat him up, just like how I look at Xiaoxiao until now. Mu Qiqi chuckled. Actually, its not a bad idea if you go up with him. Your relationship will surely improve greatly.

Impossible! Dont you believe me? If I tell him I want to tag along, he will glare at me and say that I will be a hindrance.

Feng Shanshan was aware of her position. So, she didnt join in. Although she was eager to know what was in Tang Yans mind and his life story, she knew it was better for her not to bother them.

Lets go back to rest. The exam is just around the corner, said Mu Qiqi. They had too little clues about the case now, and they were unable to go up the hill. With the professor up there, he should be able to help the criminal investigation team collect more clues.

You can go first. I want to stay for a while. Feng Shanshan did not plan to leave yet.

Mu Qiqi glanced at Feng Shanshan and asked her seriously. He is a policeman and you are a forensic doctor. Everything is great. As long as you can settle down and get into a relationship seriously, you will have a good life. I think Officer Tang wont be the second scumbag in your life. You can obviously get serious in this. Stop playing and miss your happiness.

Who could be sure that Tang Yan would not be the second scumbag?

His image in private was not at all positive.

There are things I cant tell you, Qiqi. And you will not understand it either. Because Sheng Xiao is your first love and your only man.

Mu Qiqi lowered her head down and contemplated. Maybe youre right.

After that, Mu Qiqi left the police station and got into Xu Ches car.

Once home, Mu Qiqi quietly sat at the carpet and put her head on Sheng Xiaos lap.

Whats wrong? Sheng Xiao lowered his head and asked the little one.

You just go on reading your documents. Im just thinking about life, Mu Qiqi said in a deep voice. Xiaoxiao, what would have become of me if I hadnt met you?

I think you would be sold countless times, Sheng Xiao answered in a flat voice.

Mu Qiqi did not forget that she was rescued by Sheng Xiao from a hotel.

I am such a lucky person. Mu Qiqi sighed.

Sheng Xiao let her be and stroked her hair subconsciously, as if comforting her in silence.

Mu Qiqi felt very comfortable. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Mama Sheng came to call them for dinner. But Sheng Xiao made a hush gesture.

Shes asleep?

Bring her upstairs and come down for dinner, Mama Sheng ordered, with a soft voice.

Everyone in the family pampered the little one. So when Feng Shanshan said that Mu Qiqi was a pampered girl, it was not an exaggeration. However, Mu Qiqi did not love them less because they loved her so much. She cherished them even more.

Because she knew all the love she got did not come easily.

Sheng Xiao put down the document and carried Mu Qiqi into their bedroom. He was thinking about their wedding rings, but there werent any festivals or events to allow him to show her the rings.

He couldnt wait to wear the ring to show his marital status to people.

But with him wearing it alone did not mean anything to him.

So, while Mu Qiqi was sleeping, Sheng Xiao brought the rings down and gave them to Mama Sheng. Mother, give it to Qier, please.

Mama Sheng was surprised when she opened the box. These are your wedding rings. Why dont you give it to her yourself?

They were not ready when we got married. Now that theyre ready, there isnt any special day for me to give it to her. Just tell her that you and Father prepared the rings for us. She will feel happier and think that they are more meaningful.

Mama Sheng frowned. She never thought her son was an indirect person.

Tell me what your intention is.

I want her to coax me. Sheng Xiao sounded casual when he said that, as if it was a joke.

However, Mama Sheng knew that in his heart, he wished to see Xiao Qi plan events for him, so that their lives become more romantic.

Knowing her sons intention, Mama Sheng chuckled. You should have just told me earlier. I will give it to her for you. But dont you feel sorry at all using the rings you prepared this way?

I want to have a sense of ritual.

He wondered how Mu Qiqi would give him the rings.

I hope you can always love Xiao Qi as you do now.

Sheng Xiao cocked his brows. Was it necessary to doubt his love for her? He chose the woman and he never regretted it for even one second. He would love her more as the days passed. The little one would be his for her whole life. Nobody could snatch her away from him, not even the Grim Reaper.

On the other side of things, Tang Yan was staying on the hill, so Feng Shanshan was at home alone that night.

The words Mu Qiqi said to her were playing on her mind repetitively. However, she knew that she had no confidence to make Tang Yan hers by true love and affection.

The level of danger this man had was almost comparable to a typhoon with a twelve on the Beaufort scale.

But what she did not know was that Tang Yan was determined to own her.

Late at night, it was raining again on the hill. Since the people living on the hill were unable to accommodate those from the police station, the policemen stayed at the temple. They made a fire, and everyone gathered around it to warm their bodies.

Each time it rains, the evidence in the cellar becomes less obvious or destroyed, said the professor. This is really a tricky thing. We havent been able to verify the identities of the couple until now. I wonder if the screening is over.

Its over. Tang Yan hung up a call and said to the professor, The couple are unemployed locals, both twenty-eight years old. The man is Chen Qiao and the woman Xiao Yue. They are childhood sweethearts and they have been missing for a week. As they always go for trips, their families did not report it to the police. It was not until this afternoon when Xiao Yues mother could not get in touch with her daughter that she went to the police station.

Everything will be easier when we know their identities. The professor sighed. There are so many secrets behind the tattoo on their bodies, this temple, and the cellar. Now, it depends on you young people to go dig them out.

Uncle, I will send you down, said Tang Yan. The forensics laboratory needs you more.

You want to go down? The professor was surprised. I thought youd stay here until the case is solved.

All the clues are down there already

All that because he simply wanted to go home and take a look at that woman.
