Because I Cannot Hurt You

Yunru saw Zizi opening the door. She brightened as she met him. Feng Xiao had a wide smile plastered on his face too. She was eagerly and hurriedly trying to pull him in.

He could only watch everything with a dumbfounded expression. 

Then the next thing he saw almost made him crush the pole on which he had placed his hand. 

Zizi was faltering as she walked because of the sprain. But when Feng Xiao offered his hand to help her, she readily put her hand in his for some support. Suddenly, Zizi and Feng Xiao seemed to stand extremely close to each other. Yunru could hardly see any gap between their bodies.

Unknowingly, he clenched the pole tighter until veins popped on the back of his hand. 

Princess...you were supposed to call me if you needed any help. Why would you call Feng Xiao? 

A bitter feeling arose in his heart. His heart was growing uneasy.

What are they doing? Why would Feng Xiao be at my house? He didn't say a word about it at the station. 

No matter how hard he thought, he just couldn't fathom why they would suddenly grow so close. Zizi even lied to him about it. 

His heart sank.

Why would Princess lie? Did she suddenly lose her interest in me?

The air got gloomy. He didn't even realize, but he had already waited for the whole time until Feng Xiao finally stepped out. It was around two hours later.

Two hours…What were they doing for two hours?

Once again, he saw Zizi laughing with him.

He grimaced.

Yeah, yeah, you don't have to look so happy as if I always make you cry!

Feng Xiao and Zizi talked for a few minutes where she would occasionally blush after he said something.

"..."

Now you are even blushing? Is he that good? Are you that charmed by him?

He lowered his head and took a look at himself. Then he looked at his friend.

I am definitely more handsome than him... Princess, your taste cannot be that worse...

He felt it stifling and just prayed furiously that Feng Xiao would get the hell out of his house right now.

But when Zizi stumbled on her foot, and Feng Xiao caught her arm in time, Yunru truly felt as if his head would explode. His eyes unblinkingly stared at the part where Feng Xiao was holding touching Zizi. His brows heavily twitched, and he strongly felt an urge to punch something...or particularly, punch the man acting so intimate with her.

Yeah she is okay already, so shake off your fucking hand!

Even if Feng Xiao had held her arm only for two seconds, Yunru felt as if he took forever to let her go.

Yunru couldn't breathe in relief even after he left. Two secret meetings behind his back, and Zizi refused to admit it. 

Not just meetings, but who knew how many times they talked to each other on phone too.

Then she was eager to make him leave the house when she should have been eager to make him stay.

The atmosphere got even gloomier. He felt his throat go dry.

She couldn't have... possibly fallen out of love, right?

Then he vigorously shook his head. The thought made him feel suffocated.

His steps were heavy as he returned to the police station.

"Hahaha! You are so stupid, Hu. No wonder she dumped you," Feng Xiao rolled his stomach as he laughed hard.

"Shut up! How would I know that she was angry? She looked just fine until yesterday. Truly, women are a mystery!"

Suddenly, there was a loud smack on Feng Xiao's head. "Ow!"

He glared behind him only to find Yunru standing with a cold expression. "Hey, why did you hit me like that?"

I want to do more than just hitting you with this file!

"I thought there was a fly over your head," he clenched his jaw. When he looked at his hand that had held Zizi's arm, he felt an urge to smack him once more.

"What? There are no flies here."

"Shut up. I see you are really getting lax in your duties."

Feng Xiao was speechless. "When? I am pretty much responsible!" He indignantly said.

"And you are shameless too!"

"..."

To think that you will eye your friend's fiance! I didn't you wore such a mask on your face!

"Where were you for whole two hours? Our breaks are not THAT long."

Feng Xiao didn't seem guilty. "I had some personal emergency."

Yunru's mouth twitched.

Personal emergency my foot! When did my Princess become your personal emergency!?

He tried very hard to smile. "I see. No worries. Now that you are back, you have tons of work to do."

Yunru brought a huge stack of files and dumped them before him. Feng Xiao was dumbfounded. "What is this?"

"Cold case files. Please help me out in sorting these so we can work on them. Check all the evidence we have and the witnesses list."

"Are you kidding me, bro? This will take my whole night!" He cried.

"As a responsible officer, you cannot complain. This is a part of our job. Give me everything by tomorrow morning."

Yunru gave him a cold shoulder and left.

"How did you offend Yunru, who is always so chilled out? He looked so angry right now."

Feng Xiao sobbed. "What do I know? He seemed like a devil just now! When did I just step on his tail? Where is our deep friendship?"

Yunru shut the door to his office and sat on his chair, huffing in anger. This was the first time he had lost his cool like that.

Feng Xiao, you traitor!

He let out a deep breath and after much thought, he called Zizi's number. "Princess, how are you feeling? How is your foot?"

"Yunru! Yes, I am feeling much better."

"Good. So...what were you doing?" He sounded casual.

"Nothing much. Just watching a movie."

"I see. I hope you are resting. If anybody comes at the door, just ignore…"

"Yeah no problem. Not like anybody came either."

*BANG*

He punched his fist on the table without thinking.

"Ah? What was that loud noise?"

"...Nothing. Something just fell," his voice was hoarse.

Yunru looked like he would spit fire out of his mouth any moment.

FENG XIAO! I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!
