Chapter 129 - Cruise
Gu Xingfeng took a sip of his coffee that had gone cold before he picked up the documents on his table. There are sixteen residents of S City who had boarded the cruise ship.
Five of them are grandma Lin\'s son – Lin Li, her daughter-in-law – Lin Li\'s wife, Lin Xu. And her three young grandchildren: Lin Tong, a boy, who is eight years old. Lin Meng, a girl, who is three years old. And Lin Le, an infant.
The three are young girls: Leng Leng, Ping An and Lulu. They are best friends and Leng Leng has won three tickets for the Carribbean Cruise in a lottery..
One is a young male named Lin Shu. He is an artist.
Two are a married couple, Wu Dong and Wu Susu. Wu Dong owns a coffee shop.
The remaining five are in a group tour, which the cruise is a part of their tour. One is a young woman named Ling Meng. She is the organizer of the tour. The four people consists of two pairs of old married couples – old Peng and his wife, and old He and his wife. The remaining members of the tour are from other cities.
Among these sixteen victims, one of them is missing. That is Ling Meng. But since there is no other way of survival from the shipwreck, she is still confirmed dead along with other missing victims. When her mother has come to the police station and heard her daughter\'s corpse is missing, she was filled with hope. She didn\'t believe that her daughter is dead. As long as she didn\'t see her daughter\'s corpse, for her, her daughter is still alive and was washed ashore to some uninhabited island. Gu Xingfeng can\'t convince her otherwise, so he let her be. As long as it wasn\'t him who had told her to hope for her daughter\'s survival.
He inadvertently moved his left hand and it touched the landline phone on the side. He remembered, last night, Fei Xuli called him to \'take care\' of Hao Baiyun. And, he and Hao Baiyun did it from night till dawn. However, none of them was tired despite the activity. Instead, they are still full of energy. That\'s the advantage of making love with a yao.
Then, his thoughts floated back when he and Hao Baiyun first met. It was a year ago, and he was still a police officer. Because of what happened between them, Fei Xuli told him to not breathe a word about Hao Baiyun to others. His superiors only knew that he had saved Hao Baiyun and he had the favor of the Hao family. Because of it, he was promoted as a chief inspector. However, some noticed that after the incident, he had become silent and withdrawn when he is near or around the yao. Thus, they concluded his incident with Hao Baiyun made him \'hate\' the yao.
There was a police officer under his jurisdiction that asked him about it one time they had a gathering and the police officer was drunk. Gu Xingfeng just became silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. But, those who are keen knew Gu Xingfeng cannot express his \'disgust\' with the yao vocally, since the walls have ears. Thus, they didn\'t bring up the matter once again.
In public, he had to act he \'hated\' the yao and he is disgusted with them. However, in private…
"Ha." He helplessly sighed as he bitterly looked at the landline phone. He badly wanted to call Hao Baiyun and ask for Hao Baiyun\'s condition. But, even if he and Hao Baiyun are \'lovers\', and he is Hao Baiyun\'s destined mate, but he can feel it was just out of convenience.
One, it was out of an accident he became Hao Baiyun\'s mate. Two, Fei Xuli knew he is an honest person, thus he acquiesced for him to be Hao Baiyun\'s mate. Even if Tian Tian had already been born, and even if Fei Xuli and Jing Yu wanted to be with their little master, but their circumstances don\'t permit them.
There are many dangers lurking around Hao Baiyun, putting Tian Tian\'s life in jeopardy. Thus, they can only hide Tian Tian by giving him to him – his biological father. Even if Tian Tian was born from an accident, but Gu Xingfeng, and he knew Hao Baiyun, they both sincerely love Tian Tian.
"Shall I call him?" he muttered as he stared at the telephone for fifteen minutes. What happened last night… it should be right to give Hao Baiyun a call to check on him? He thought.
Finally, he picked up the telephone and dialed the number Fei Xuli gave him. Not long after and the call was picked up. "Hello?" it was a weak and hoarse voice that answered. This indifferent tone… it was Jing Yu.
"Hello. This is Gu Xingfeng." He said. "Can I… ask, if he… is alright?" he asked.
"… our young master?" Jing Yu said.
"… yes." Gu Xingfeng answered.
On the executive\'s break room, Jing Yu turned to Fei Xuli. Fei Xuli took the phone from Jing Yu. "Officer Gu." he called.
Gu Xingfeng\'s brows twitched from the way Fei Xuli addressed him. He knew, even if Fei Xuli had acquiesced, but secretly, he is dissatisfied with Gu Xingfeng being Hao Baiyun\'s mate. A police officer… even if he was promoted, but still, he is low-born. Compared to the brilliant and noble Hao Baiyun, Gu Xingfeng is undeserving.
"Yes." he held back not to curse. "I wanted to ask… how is he?" he asked.
Fei Xuli understood. "Our young master has been silent the whole morning." He answered and looked at the closed door of Hao Baiyun\'s office.
Gu Xingfeng\'s heart jumped. "What do you mean? He is silent…?" he asked as his voice trailed off. He remembered that last night, he had shot multiple times inside Hao Baiyun, filling him to the brim. Not a single drop of his semen was wasted. Could it be…? His pupils shrank and his heart wildly thumped inside his chest. "Is… is he okay?" he anxiously asked.
Fei Xuli\'s brows raised. He didn\'t expect for this low-born to be sharp. "Yes. We take care of our young master. We wouldn\'t wrong him." He said as he handed a buttered bread to Jing Yu who was eyeing his plate.
This confirms Gu Xingfeng\'s suspicion and his heart was filled with joy. He felt sweet and excited. Tian Tian… he now has a younger brother or younger sister! His eyes shone with delight. "I…" he said in a hoarse voice filled with emotions. He cleared his throat. "Can I… can I go visit… him later?" he asked. Before Fei Xuli could answer, he spoke. "I\'ll bring Tian Tian to see his… his dad." He said. It\'s awkward to name Hao Baiyun as a \'mother\', since he is a man. \'Dad\' is more appropriate.
Fei Xuli, as expected, was excited. "Alright." He answered without asking for Hao Baiyun\'s approval. Then, he ended the call. Why ask Hao Baiyun? Hao Baiyun is a nine-tailed fox – the most powerful among the fox yao. A thick wall isn\'t enough to block Hao Baiyun from hearing their conversation.
Inside the office, Hao Baiyun\'s face is red and he buried his blushing face in the mountain of documents. Gu Xingfeng… is concerned of him, that\'s why he called. And – he thought as his face became redder. He now knows we\'re having another baby. "Ha." He gasped as he held his tummy. "Will you be Tian Tian\'s younger brother, or younger sister?" he asked as a sweet smile bloomed on his face. Last night is a wonderful event between them. They were both sane and conscious when they made love. Their feelings might have sprouted out of an accident before, but they couldn\'t mistake the feelings they felt. Their feelings aren\'t accident.
With high spirit, he resumed working.
In the S City Police Station, Gu Xingfeng did the same. He looked at the sixteen names of the victims on the list. He called grandma Lin for her to claim her son and his family – their corpse, in the foreign land. He did the same for Leng Leng\'s parents and Ping An and Lulu\'s guardians. He then called Ling Meng\'s mother -?a single mother, to tell her the date they can go to the foreign land and she can inquire the authorities there for more details of the shipwreck. He will accompany her, since one of the victims – Wu Dong, has no relatives. He will claim his corpse.
He also called the old He couple\'s daughter and son-in-law who were also abroad. Their daughter tearfully cried and told him they\'ll directly fly to claim her parents. Lastly, the old Peng couple\'s son – Peng Li.
The door opened and an exhausted-looking man was revealed. He was standing before the door and didn\'t seem to notice that the door has already opened. If not for his co-teachers telling him about the accident of the cruise ship, Peng Li – who was drowned in his thesis, wouldn\'t know his parents had already died.
