Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 40 A good match
The cold light flashing in Wei Qingsong's clear black and white pupils made Chen Jin's scalp tingle. He wisely retreated from Wei Qingsong's side, walked around to the other corner of the long table, and only then did his extremely imposing gaze slowly subside.

Lu Jingming glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen and said thoughtfully, "Today is Saturday."

Wei Qingsong looked up from the stack of documents and her eyes met his warm gaze. She paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and say, "Then let's set off now for the Chengnan Welfare Home."

The main road where Chengnan Welfare Home is located is called Xueyuan Road. There are several schools nearby, making it a well-known school district. So, apart from the noise and bustle during the morning and evening dismissal times, it is usually very quiet and peaceful.

Towering sycamore trees line both sides of the road, their shade shielding the drizzling rain. The raindrops are crushed and sprinkled on the ground, creating a glistening, watery path.

Lu Jingming fell asleep soon after getting into the car. Wei Qingsong wanted to discuss the case with him, but when she saw the large dark circles under his eyes, she gave up the idea.

In the passenger seat, Xiao Song turned his head, about to say something, when Wei Qingsong stopped him with a "shh".

Xiao Song then noticed Lu Jingming sleeping soundly beside her and was slightly taken aback.

This was the first time he had ever seen Captain Lu so completely relaxed and unguarded, sleeping next to someone.

Strange, when Consultant Wei first came to the team, wasn't Captain Lu quite resistant to her? He once thought that Captain Lu didn't like Consultant Wei, but the current situation seems to be different.

It's hard to understand, really hard to understand. Xiao Song felt like he had overlooked some details, otherwise why would he suddenly be unable to keep up with Captain Lu's pace?

Seeing this scene in the rearview mirror, Chen Jin's mouth almost stretched to the back of his ears in a wide grin.

It seems that Captain Lu and Sister Wei's relationship is progressing faster than he expected.

There was no parking lot near the welfare home, so the car was parked under the shade of the trees. A few dim rays of light softly shone on the sleeping person's face, and Wei Qingsong was somewhat lost in thought.

His eyes often carried a cold, sharp edge, making him seem unapproachable and even intimidating. Now that he was asleep, all his fierceness vanished, making his incomparably handsome face appear even more radiant.

Wei Qingsong stared at him silently, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Xiao Song, completely unaware of what was going on, blurted out, "Captain Lu, we've arrived."

He had barely finished speaking when he was struck hard on the forehead.

Xiao Song looked at Chen Jin with a wronged expression, wondering what she had done wrong.

Chen Jin was exasperated. He unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and pulled Xiao Song out of the passenger seat.

He used to think this kid had potential, how come he can't see things clearly now?

Xiao Song was being pulled forward by his collar, and as he turned back, he stammered, "Brother Chen, Captain Lu, he..."

"Don't worry about Captain Lu, let's go to the orphanage and ask about the situation first." Chen Jin ruthlessly pulled away the bewildered Xiao Song, and the two of them entered the orphanage gate in the rain.

Inside the car, Lu Jingming had regained consciousness and was looking at Wei Qingsong with a deep gaze.

He actually fell asleep in the car.

To be honest, he hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

In the narrow space, only the two of them remained, so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.

"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't want to wake you." Wei Qingsong gave a bright smile.

My previously chaotic thoughts were relieved the moment I saw her bright smile.

Lu Jingming spoke, his voice hoarse from just waking up, deep and magnetic: "Let's go."

He opened the car door, opened the umbrella, and stood waiting for her.

Wei Qingsong looked at him and smiled softly, her eyes like falling stars.

The two walked side by side and pushed open the gate of the Chengnan Welfare Home.

Just then, Chen Jin and Xiao Song came out of the office area together, accompanied by a pretty round-faced girl.

Several people looked over at the same time.

Xiao Song swallowed hard, and blurted out as if possessed: "Why do I suddenly feel that Captain Lu and Advisor Wei are such a good match?"

Chen Jin nodded approvingly and said seriously, "Indeed."

The rain pattered softly, and Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming did not hear the conversation. The two walked over in perfect unison.

The round-faced girl's gaze swept between the two of them, and she even felt a hint of envy.

Just as Xiao Song said, the two people in front of them were like a perfect couple, one aloof and reserved, the other elegant and self-possessed. Standing side by side, they were indescribably harmonious and beautiful.

Their appearances were also exceptionally striking, making them hard to miss.

After staring at her for a moment, the round-faced girl seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly stepped forward to say, "Hello, I am Xiao Yuan, the teacher on duty at the welfare home. These two police officers have just explained their purpose. At this time, the volunteers should still be in the canteen. I will take you there."

“Okay.” Wei Qingsong smiled kindly, while Lu Jingming remained silent, standing quietly beside her.

This caused Xiao Yuan to pause for a moment, and thousands of words of a CP (couple) story instantly formed in her mind.

She quickly lowered her eyes, her expression slightly excited, and led the group outside.

The cafeteria is a separate building with transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. From a small path on one side, you can see children eating their meals obediently in the cafeteria, as well as young volunteers with pleasant smiles on their faces.

As the group entered the cafeteria together, they attracted a lot of attention.

Of course, the vast majority of eyes were on Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong.

The two individuals possessed exceptional bearing, standing out like cranes among chickens in this clean yet somewhat unassuming cafeteria.

Just then, a clean-cut young man carrying two buckets came out of the kitchen. He hadn't noticed the "uninvited guest" at the door and continued with his work.

Upon seeing him, Xiao Yuan immediately waved and said, "Xu Yuan, these police officers are looking for you."

Wei Qingsong immediately turned her gaze to him.

He had a fair complexion, wearing a white T-shirt under a red volunteer vest. He was slender, and the one-size-fits-all red vest was too big on him, hanging loosely at the hem.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan glanced over blankly, hesitated, put down the bucket in her hand, wiped her hands, and walked over.

He looks like a student who has just finished the college entrance examination; it's hard to imagine that he is already a third-year graduate student.

As he got closer, Wei Qingsong noticed that he had a pair of very beautiful eyes, clear and pure, with a natural upward curve at the corners.

Upon learning that the visitors were police officers, the already quiet cafeteria became even more silent.

Considering that there were other volunteers and children present, Lu Jingming said calmly, "Let's talk in private."

Xu Yuan seemed unaware of what had happened, and simply nodded obediently, saying hesitantly, "Okay."

His voice was clear and pleasant, a very pleasant young voice.

Wei Qingsong frowned slightly.

It must be said that Xu Yuan is indeed "beautiful". She has fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and her pure doe eyes make her face even more beautiful.

Besides, his demeanor was so pure, as pure as a clear, azure sky.

It's hard to believe that such an innocent young man would be involved in a murder case.

I'm staying at a relative's house today, so it's not very convenient to type here... you know what I mean. (Innocent face)

Don't worry, I'll make it up when I get home tomorrow afternoon.
