Chapter 54

Jiang Chengyan walked slowly to the office door and looked inside through the glass window.  Ling Hua’an was sitting in his office chair, holding his phone that seemed to be recording his voice. The gentle smile at the corner of his mouth made Jiang Chengyan feel a little sour in his heart. He didn’t care about anything else anymore, so he opened the door and walked in.

Ling Hua’an was startled, then looked at the door, and said, “Captain Jiang?

Jiang Chengyan responded then turned around to close the door. He hesitated before quietly locking it and closing the curtains. Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Hua’an with some guilty conscience, and asked as if nothing had happened “Hua’an, who are you chatting with?”

Ling Hua’an naturally replied, “Yan Yu. Has Zhang Aihua finished her trial?”

“En.” Although he knew he shouldn’t be jealous, Jiang Chengyan was still uncomfortable. He pretended to ask casually, “What did you guys talk about? Just now I saw you smiling happily.”

Ling Hua’an was keenly aware of Jiang Chengyan’s emotions, a smile appeared in his eyes, and asked,  “does Captain Jiang want to know?”

“Not really, just casually asking.” Jiang Cheng Yan is obviously duplicity.

“Well, we’re just chatting casually, it’s nothing important.”

“Oh.” Seeing that Ling Hua’an had no intention of saying anything, Jiang Chengyan’s heart felt even more unpleasant.

Ling Hua’an was helpless for a while. He moved his chair backward, patted his legs, and said, “Come here, Captain Jiang.”

Jiang Chengyan took a look, his face instantly reddened. He felt embarrassed, “Hua’an, this is in the police station. It’s not good.”

The smile in Ling Hua’an’s eyes deepened, “Is the door locked? Are the curtains drawn?”

Ling Hua’an catches the small action, which shows that he has seen through his mind. Jiang Chengyan feels embarrassed and wants to run away. As soon as he turned around, he heard Ling Hua’an say, “Captain Jiang, you’re not trying to renege on your debt, are you?”

Jiang Chengyan’s movements stiffened, his face was burning badly, and he answered with a guilty conscience, “how come? I’m just thirsty and want to pour a glass of water.”

Ling Hua’an feels amused and helpless, “Captain Jiang, if you don’t want to renege, come here.”

Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Hua’an, then at the door before walking over slowly. As soon as he approached, Ling Hua’an grabbed his wrist.

Liang Hua’an looked up at Jiang Chengyan and teased him, “Officer Yao said that Captain Jiang was as good as a cat when he was with me. How come I don’t feel like that at all.”

“You… you actually heard it!” Jiang Chengyan feels so embarrassed. If Yao Min were here, he would like to beat her severely.

Ling Hua’an pointed out, “Captain Jiang, we are a couple, we will have to do more things in the future. How can you be shy so easily.”

“Who is shy, I am not a woman…” Jiang Chengyan said in a lower voice.

Ling Hua’an listened to Jiang Chengyan’s lack of confidence, and couldn’t help laughing, “Since Captain Jiang is not shy, why are you still standing? I’m tired talking with my head up like this.”

To prove his words, Jiang Chengyan gritted his teeth and sat down.

Ling Hua’an took advantage of the situation and put his arms around his waist and said,  “Sit down firmly, don’t fall down.”

Jiang Chengyan blushed and obeyed to sit down properly.

Knowing that Ling Hua’an couldn’t see, he still avoided his eyes with a guilty conscience. He didn’t dare to look into Ling Hua’an’s eyes.

“Captain Jiang, it’s been two days. ”

“What?” Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Hua’an blankly, obviously not understanding what he meant.

Ling Hua’an held his face and said, “I haven’t kissed you for two days. I can’t stop thinking about it, how about you?”

Jiang Chengyan’s heart skipped a beat and then jumped wildly. He looked at Ling Hua’an’s lips,  unconsciously swallowed, and responded very lightly.

Ling Hua’an chuckled. He stopped talking and kissed him immediately.

After a while, the two distanced themselves, Jiang Chengyan lay on Ling Hua’an’s shoulder, panting slightly, and said, “This…is this the final payment?”

Ling Hua’an turned his head slightly, attached it to Jiang Chengyan’s ear, and whispered, “What? Is Captain Jiang trying to bid with me?”

“No. “Jiang Chengyan quickly denied it, afraid that Ling Hua’an would misunderstand, he said aggrievedly, “you said you want to collect the final payment from me.”

“Of course, the final payment is to be collected. But Captain Jiang, how can it be so simple.”

Jiang Chengyan’s heart tightened when he heard the words, and he asked in a low voice, “then what else do you want?”

“I still want to…” Ling Hua’an kissed Jiang Chengyan’s lips again.

“No…no, Hua’an, let’s…let’s change places.”

“It’s fine here.”

“But……um……”

“Be good, focus.”

Jiang Chengyan lying on Ling Hua’an’s shoulder, breathing heavily. His head was blank, and it took a long time to calm down. Looking at Ling Hua’an’s wet shirt, remembering the extremely shameful scene just now, Jiang Chengyan blushed and wished he could bury his whole face in Ling Hua’an’s body.

Ling Hua’an held up his chin helplessly and said, “Are you trying to suffocate yourself?”

“I… I got your clothes dirty, you let go first, and I’ll get a paper and clean it up for you.”

Ling Hua’an let go of Jiang Chengyan’s waist. When he wanted to get up, he was pressed down again by Ling Hua’an, “the paper is on the table, you can reach it.”

“Hua’an, do you… do you want to do it too? “Jiang Chengyan’s voice was almost unheard.

Ling Hua’an raised her eyebrows and said, “if I want to, what are you going to do?”

“I …… I’m not prepared.”

“Prepared for what?” Ling Hua’an frowned slightly and said, “can’t you accept it?”

Seeing Ling Hua’an frowning, Jiang Chengyan felt distressed and couldn’t care about anything else. He quickly explained, “no, how could I not accept it? I mean I… I didn’t clean it up. It’s dirty.”

Ling Hua’an frowned and said with a smile, “Fool, I won’t ask for you to do it here. Our first time won’t be so simple, at least it will be in our home.”

“Our …… home?” Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Hua’an with expectation, “Hua’an, what do you mean by that?”

“Our future home, a small home that belongs to just the two of us. Captain Jiang, are you willing to move with me?”

Jiang Chengyan’s eyes were a little sore, he took a deep breath and asked, “Hua’an, is this a proposal?”

“Not really. Although I don’t really care about the reaction of the family, I should still take you to meet them, as well as your family. I must let them know, I don’t want to be with you in secret. I want to marry you and get the certificate like other men and women and walk hand in hand openly for the rest of my life.”

Jiang Chengyan’s heart was moved beyond words, he murmured, “Hua’an”

“Let me hold you for a little bit longer, then we’ll go to dinner together.”

Sensing Ling Hua’an’s reaction, Jiang Chengyan’s blushed. He reached out to hold it, saying, “Hua’an, let me help you.”

Ling Hua’an snorted, pressed Jiang Chengyan’s hand, and said helplessly, “No, just let me hold it for a while.”

Jiang Chengyan blushed and nodded, relaxing his body and enjoying his embrace.

In the western restaurant, Jiang Chengyan walked in with Ling Hua’an, the waiter hurried over to greet him and said with a smile, “Are only two of you, sir?”

Jiang Chengyan smiled and nodded. He looked around and said, “Let’s sit by the window.”

Ling Hua’an had no objection. Wherever he sat, it made no difference to him. When they were seated and the waiter handed over the menu, Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Hua’an and asked, “Hua’an, what do you want to eat? The steak and the pasta here are pretty good.”

“Pasta, then.”

Jiang Chengyan looked at the waiter, handed over the menu, and said, “Two signature pasta and two glasses of milk, thank you.”

“Okay, please wait a moment, both of you. ”

Ling Hua’an looked at Jiang Chengyan and asked directly, “Where is Wang Tianran’s body?”

“Wang Tianran’s body was buried by her in the backyard.”

“Backyard? Then Wang Tianran’s sudden appearance makes sense. But why doesn’t she remember where her body is at all?” Ling Hua’an frowned, he couldn’t figure this out.

Jiang Chengyan thought for a while and said, “When we were digging up the body, we found a yellow symbol on her body with a red pen written on it. As for what was written, I can’t understand it. I guess it should be related to that.”

“The corpse suppression talisman? No wonder Wang Tianran couldn’t remember the location of her body.” Ling Hua’an paused, then asked, “When you dug it up, was the yellow talisman damaged?”

“En, the red letters on it were partially spent.”

“That’s right. The corpse talisman is to keep the ghosts of the dead in vain in their body to prevent the ghosts from claiming life. Because one part was damaged, Wang Tianran’s ghost was able to escape and it was because the other part was still attached, she couldn’t sense the location of her body. That’s why this situation occurred.”

Jiang Chengyan smiled and asked, “Since this Corpse talisman is so useful, then why did Zhang Aihua choose to throw the body instead of using it?”

“Zhang Aihua herself does not believe in these. She is just too desperate and has no choice but to seize such a life-saving straw. So it makes sense that she didn’t use the corpse-suppressing talisman.”

Jiang Chengyan hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask, “Hua’an, how come you know this? Are your eyes the legendary yin and yang eyes¹?”

Ling Hua’an was silent for a while, “My father passed away when I was five years old. Although I was young at that time, I knew that my father would not come back. I missed him very much, so I made a wish that as long as I was allowed to see him once, I was willing to pay any price.”

“And then what? Did you use your eyes as the price to see your dad one last time?”

Ling Hua’an laughed lightly and said, “Silly, how come you believe everything I say?”

Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and said in dissatisfaction, “Hua’an, you are teasing me again!”

“Okay. I will stop teasing you. I’ll tell you these things later. Although it’s quiet here, it’s inconvenient to say it.”

“Okay.” Although he felt a  little disappointed, Jiang Chengyan didn’t force it. He took the initiative to change the subject, “Hua’an, when this case is over. I guess there will be a few days off. Are you free?”

Ling Hua’an raised his eyebrows and said, “Is this Captain Jiang taking the initiative to ask me for a date?”

After what happened in the office, Jiang Chengyan and Ling Hua’an seemed closer to each other. When the two were alone, he was not so shy anymore, “En, are you free?”

“If I have a boyfriend date, I’m free.”Ling Hua’an thought about it and said, “I just want to go to the beach, why don’t we go together.”

“To the beach? This season?”

“Wang Lei is going to be reincarnated. His only regret is that he has never been to the beach. I want to take him there once.”

“I see.” Jiang Chengyan snapped back to his senses and asked nervously, “Hua’an, just …… a moment ago, when we were in the office …… is Wang Lei there?”

Ling Hua’an was stunned and said with amusement, “Captain Jiang, what are you thinking? How can I let others see your body?”

When Jiang Chengyan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. If the shameful picture was seen by others, he would want to die.

“Captain Jiang, your body belongs to me only, no one else can peek at it, understand?”

The possessiveness in Ling Hua’an’s words, instead of making Jiang Chengyan feel disgusted but made him feel indescribably happy. He replied softly, “yes.”

“So no matter what season in the future, you must wear a vest in your shirt.”

And Jiang Chengyan touched his chest subconsciously……

The author has something to say：

Boys must also learn to protect themselves, especially in summer, Hehe (? ﹃? ? ), the small vest still has to be worn
