***

Shu Xian couldn't help but feel uneasy. She already finished her homework and is finalizing it for tomorrow, however, she couldn't seem to focus since it is almost midnight and Pan An is still not home.

Yes, he indeed told her that he will be out with Wang Lei and that they are going to eat and drink, yes, he told her that he is going to go home at 10 PM earliest time, but…

With him not here when it's already past 10 and he had left the house at around 6 PM, Shu Xian couldn't help really but to worry.

She was tapping her pen on the table. With her biting her bottom lip, Wan Wan cocked her head to the side, looking at her master as she wondered why something is bothering her.

"Oh, Wan Wan…" Shu Xian started, sighing as she talked to her pet as if it was human. "He said he's going home earlier but why is he not yet here?"

Wan Wan laid back down on the carpeted floor. With her eyes not leaving her master, Shu Xian blankly stared at her dog, thinking of what Pan An is doing now that he is still not home.

"I can't focus on checking my homework if—"

Suddenly, a knock was heard on the door, interrupting her statement. With her immediately standing up from the floor, she rushed to the door, barefooted.

"Coming!"

With Shu Xian opening the door, she further furrowed her brows to see Pan An being carried by a middle-aged man, the professor's head hanging low.

"Ugh… am I home?"

Smelling the alcohol come from him, Shu Xian blinked her eyes a few times, not expecting Pan An to arrive home, supported in another man's arms.

"Erm… is he drunk?"

With Wang Lei already coming into the picture, he sighed as he shook his head, already helping the man who is holding Pan An.

"Yes. He's drunk. He insisted he drove, but I told him no. He didn't contact his secretary or driver, so I asked my secretary instead and drove him home. The man who's carrying Pan An is Mr. Ying."

"L-late evening," Mr. Ying greeted, grunting as he felt Pan An get heavier by the second. "If you will, Miss Shu Xian, where is Mr. Pan An's room?"

"O-oh!"

Sensing the difficulty in his voice, Shu Xian immediately stepped aside, Wang Lei, helping his secretary, too, as they both made way to the room, Pan An, opening the door for their entry.

The moment they already went inside, Shu Xian immediately went to the kitchen, calling out to them.

"I-I'll prepare tea before you leave! Thank you so much for bringing Pan An home!"

"No, that's not necessary! We're going home after we put him down on the bed safely!"

With Wang Lei's loud reply followed by a series of grunts coming from him and Mr. Ying, anyone who would hear them would imagine that this is some kind of BL thing happening…

With Shu Xian stopping in her tracks as Wan Wan followed her check on the visitors, Wang Lei and Mr. Ying already left Pan An's room, slightly panting as they found it tiring to carry the man.

"Sorry for the trouble. Thanks again," Shu Xian said, furrowing her brows in worry. "Why is it that Pan An is drunk? Is he alright?"

"Oh…"

Wang Lei let out a small laugh, already handing Shu Xian the keys of Pan An as he did not bother to park it in the garage.

"I'm sorry, can't tell you about that. However, you don't have to worry about anything. You just have to help him cope his hangover tomorrow, I guess."

"Geez…" Shu Xian mumbled, enough for the two to hear. "This is the second time already. I thought he doesn't want to get drunk around me anymore."

"Haha!" Wang Lei laughed, already understanding what Shu Xian meant. "Don't worry—it won't be like what happened before if that is what you're worrying about. He's out cold."

Hearing this, Shu Xian couldn't help but widen her eyes, a blush already coming to her face.

"D-don't tell me… he told you about…"

Without Shu Xian finishing her sentence, Wang Lei nodded, a grin appearing on his face as he confirmed what she could probably be thinking of.

"Yeah. Don't worry—you can trust me with anything."

With Shu Xian now shy, she can't look at Wang Lei straight in the eyes. With her silent, Wang Lei spoke again, bidding farewell to Shu Xian.

"Good night. I'd like to rest in my own home, too. Damn—I'm so tired."

"Good night, Miss Shu Xian."

As the two of them are about to leave the place, Shu Xian remembered right here and then what Cai Li had told her about Pan An knowing Ruo Xi's true colors and what she saw since it involved another friend of theirs.

With her curiosity kicking in, she caught Wang Lei by the wrist, surprising him with what she said next.

"W-wait… I want to ask you… about Ruo Xi."

"What?"

With Wang Lei furrowing his brows, he didn't expect Shu Xian to ask about Ruo Xi from him, making him cock his head to the side.

"Why are you curious about Ruo Xi and what do you know about her?"

Shu Xian's lips were on a tight line for a while. With her silent for a while, Wang Lei turned to his secretary and heaved a sigh, shaking his head as he gave him his next orders.

"Go home, Mr. Ying. Tell my family that I would be sleeping over at Pan An's place. Tell them that the night out has extended."

"Yes, Mr. Wang Lei."

With a small bow shown to the both of them, Mr. Ying excused himself, already leaving the house as Wang Lei crossed his arms in front of his chest and spoke to Shu Xian.

"Tell me everything you know and why you want to know about her. You're lucky I'm willing to stay tonight in the living room."
