Inside the dimly lit living room of the large villa, Tian Yuan sat on the couch with an anxious face.

After every few seconds, he would raise his head and look at the wall clock in front of him. His frown was getting deeper with every passing second.

It was already twelve past in the night but Liu Ji Fan had not come back.

Since the day, he had started to live with Liu Ji Fan, he had never seen Liu Ji Fan coming home so late. Most of the time, they used to come together from the office. Or sometimes if Liu Ji Fan used to come late, he would inform Aunt Yun that he would be late.

But today, Liu Ji Fan didn't do so.

Aunt Yun had also left.

Since then, he had been sitting inside the living room fearing that Liu Ji Fan would call on the landline and he wouldn't be able to hear it from his room.

In the end, it had passed three hours since he had been sitting at the same place but he didn't get a single phone call from Liu Ji Fan.

Now he was starting to worry about Liu Ji Fan immensely.

Especially when he remembered that Liu Ji Fan was very angry low when had left the villa in the morning. Tian Yuan could not help but shiver fearing that man would do something stupid in his anger.

He hurriedly picked up his phone that was placed beside him on the sofa.

He called Liu Ji Fan but the call didn't connect. 

Many scenarios aroused in his mind.

Driving the car at a high speed because of the anger and getting in an accident.

No…Tian Yuan shook his head instantly tried to get the image out of his mind.

"You…what are you doing here?"

A deep voice fell in his ears making him almost fall down from the sofa.

Startled, he raised his head only to see the man he had waiting for so long standing in front of him with his coat hanging on his shoulder lazily.

"Ji Fan"

Tian Yuan cried out and jumped on the already surprised man.

Liu Ji Fan had gone out of the villa with a very upset heart.

Although he had given Tian Yuan's phone back to him in anger, he had regretted it when he had stepped out of the villa and had sat inside his car.

'What if he ran away?'

Liu Ji Fan had thought.

However, he still didn't come back to take back the phone from Tian Yuan. He didn't even lock the door with the password that only he knew.

He even messaged Aunt Yun not to lock the door when she would leave the villa after doing her job.

Perhaps he was tired or perhaps he really wished to see whether Tian Yuan would really run away...whether Tian Yuan still could not feel his love for him. 

However, as the day passed, Liu Ji Fan's regret of giving Tian Yuan's phone back to him started to grow more and more.

When the office ended, he still didn't come back to the villa. In his mind, he had already come to the conclusion that he would not see Tian Yuan when he would come back to the villa.

So he didn't wish to go back.

He went to the bar and drank endlessly.

In the end, he booked a cab and came back to the villa.

Before even entering the villa, he had decided that he would start to look for Tian Yuan the next morning.

However, never in his dreams, he had expected to see Tian Yuan sitting in the living room with an anxious face.

He looked so tense that he didn't even notice him until he called out his name.

'What happened? Are my eyes playing a game with him?

How could the stinky bastard who had tried to run away so many times from me let this opportunity go like this?'

In the end, Liu Ji Fan concluded that he was just drunk too much and was hallucinating about Tian Yuan…and a few moments later, he thought that he could even hallucinate Tian Yuan's calling him out 'Ji Fan'.

But when a pair of arms tightly hugged his waist, Liu Ji Fan's mind went blank.

"Ji Fan…Ji Fan…Ji Fan…"

A soft voice calling out his name fell in his ears again and again.

Tian Yuan…his Tian Yuan was really here. He didn't leave him. That was the only thing that came to Liu Ji Fan's mind at this moment.

His arms subconsciously rose to hug back the small and thin body in his arms. In response, he felt the arms around his waist tightening their grip.

"Ji Fan…"

"Hmm…"

He hummed not knowing why he was feeling so emotional suddenly.

"Ji Fan…"

Tian Yuan called out again.

Liu Ji Fan, for a moment, though that Tian Yuan was just trying to confirm that he was here with him.

'Was he waiting for me?'

Years ago, he could easily read each and every emotion of Tian Yuan. However, the new Tian Yuan of years later was a mature man. He had learned to hide his emotions under the mask of indifference.

Now to read Tian Yuan's emotions, he would have to make her startled or he would have to make him lose himself in pleasure.

Only then Tuan Yuan would let his guard down and he could see through him.

That's why now Liu Ji Fan doesn't have much confidence in whether Tian Yuan really loved him or not.

Still, a hope couldn't help raise its head inside his heart and a tear fell out of his eye as he hummed again and patted the back of Tian Yuan's head gently.

"I am here."

Tian Yuan leaned back a little to look at Liu Ji Fan's face.

"Yes, you are here. I…I was so worried."

His few words seemed to answer Liu Ji Fan's every question.

At this moment, his eyes didn't guard against him and let him see every emotion of his heart. They were not indifferent and empty like before.

Liu Ji Fan stared into them.

He finally saw what he was looking for for so many days.

Tian Yuan also loved him. He was worried about him. He was afraid to lose him.

He loved him but he always refused.
