Outside, Lu Sheng and Ya Ren were getting suspicious at how the couple was still inside the room. Usually, once someone realised that an unconscious patient wasn't waking up to talk to them, they would leave the room, disappointed and upset!
The man in the room wasn't beloved by the couple, they weren't going to wait by his bedside for him to wake, sobbing into the tissues as they clutched at each other, lamenting about his circumstances and misfortune.
Which meant…
"Lu Sheng, do you think they're fucking on the couch?" Ya Ren asked.
"Don't be crass, Ya Ren," Lu Sheng replied with a thoroughly disgusted look at him. "I'm sure they wouldn't do it with a comatose patient just next to them."
Then he thought about Sun Jingwei's rumours and reconsidered his words.
"See! You think so too! If not, why would they be inside for so long?" Ya Ren exclaimed, scratching his head. "It's suspicious and the Boss would think so too."
Both of them paused.
There had to be something inside the room that was keeping their attention occupied.
Could it be like what Sun Jingwei claimed? That the man inside had finally woken up after hearing unfamiliar noises?
As one, they nodded at each other. They had to check for themselves. They turned and Ya Ren's hand reached for the door knob, twisting it to open the door.

"You?" Xue Ning and the man asked incredulously in tandem.
"It's a long story," Jingwei said, "but in short, I ruined his family, and I'm not surprised that he's out for blood."
Xue Ning narrowed her eyes at Jingwei's cagey behaviour. "You knew - you suspected it was him a long while back, right?"
"Yes," Jingwei nodded, shamefacedly. "The moment I found out that the name used was Dimitri. That name was something I came up with, and he was the only one that knew about it."
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Xue Ning scolded. "Or if not me, anyone else?"
"Well… he was reported dead years ago, and I was already overseas back then," Jingwei muttered, aggrieved. "So I thought it couldn't be him. I just thought he could have told someone else, who wanted to take revenge for his sake…I wanted it to not be him."
Xue Ning breathed out. What a mess.
"You'd better tell me everything when we get home." She said, glaring at him for daring to withhold the truth from her. She was meant to be his bodyguard, but how was she supposed to protect him if he didn't let her know about the incoming threat?
The man on the bed whispered, "Kill him for me… avenge…Xiumin…"
"Can you tell me more about his people? His organization? How big is it? Their operations?"
The man blinked, surprised at her enthusiasm.
"I…he has people everywhere…" He sighed. "I know he… has ties… to the police. Which was why… I thought Xiumin would be fine." His voice cracked at the end, and he began to cry again.
"I can't believe… he killed her… she loved him…"
"Fuck," Jingwei cursed, a hand angrily tugging at his own hair. "Can't believe he's such a bastard to kill his own people. Oh wait, I actually can. Fucking Shang Jing. "
Xue Ning felt bad for Xiumin, but more than that, she was worried about the claim that that mysterious man had his eyes on them, and ties to the police. Ties to the guards that were right outside the door and could storm in at any moment.
She saw the movement of their shadows, as though they were turning in to peer into the room, a hand on the door. There was a tell-tale click of the door opening.
Fuck. They had less than 10 seconds.
"Wipe your tears and pretend to sleep." Xue Ning instructed the man as she approached Jingwei to rip his shirt apart, the buttons flying off to reveal his tanned skin, the lines of his abs and even the slight happy trail.
"Xue Ning?" Jingwei asked in confusion, "What are you doing - "
His voice cut off abruptly as Xue Ning began to mutter in his ear, grabbing his hands frantically to place them on her body.
"Undress me, touch me," Xue Ning ordered, and Jingwei felt an addicting thrill at hearing such an order from Xue Ning's lips. His hands automatically obeyed, even as his mind whirled in confusion.
"Wow, I knew you would change your mind, but didn't you say that this wasn't the right time for this?" Jingwei asked wonderingly, unlacing her bustier eagerly.
With the reveal of every inch of Xue Ning's pale skin, he felt his sanity tethering off the edge of the cliff, his mouth dry with want.
Xue Ning then grabbed his hand and placed it under her skirt, right on her bare thigh.
"Now pin me against the wall and kiss me," Xue Ning ordered in a strangled whisper, her eyes watching the shadows move in the walkway.
His sanity got kicked straight off the cliff!
"!!!" Jingwei needed no further elaboration, perhaps Xue Ning had an ulterior motive, but who cares? She had given him permission to strip her naked and kiss her all over, and only a foolish man would look a gift horse in the mouth.
He immediately picked her up, delighting in the way her thick thighs automatically wrapped around his hips, as though they belonged there. Jingwei hiked up her skirt to reveal her pale creamy thighs, the bane of his sleeping nights.
How long did he spend wanting to touch them? Now that he was given permission, his greedy hands pawed at her thighs desperately, before squeezing her plump ass through her panties. Her butt was so firm and round, his mouth watered at the thought of spanking it at a later time.
Meanwhile his greedy mouth latched himself to Xue Ning's own, even as she tried to undo her own buttons to make herself look like a slut that was in the middle of a good time.
Jingwei was doing a pretty good job of helping her, as he was actually intent on giving her a good time. He kissed her frantically, half-afraid she might change his mind.
She could already feel the bulge in his pants, and with the way his hands were groping her ass, there was an answering wetness between her own legs as she gripped his shoulders.
"Make some noise," she muttered in his ear quickly.
Before Jingwei could register what she meant, she purposely grinded against him, causing him to moan.
"Fuck Xue Ning… you're killing me…"
"Oh yes…" she moaned out, purposely exaggerating her reactions.
