On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 166 Awakening!

Chen Mo took out his phone and saw a message that told him to call back when it was convenient for him.

Given that Chen Mo had a cold, Liu Xin figured he might go to bed early.

After walking home with Su Yuqing, Chen Mo called Liu Xin back.

"Officer Liu, is there anything else you need?" Chen Mo thought there was something wrong with the surveillance footage.

I was still a little nervous.

"Oh, it's like this. A woman just came to our police station and said that someone had saved her son in a heroic act. I checked the surveillance footage, and it was probably you who saved him, right?"

You could hear a hint of appreciative amusement in Liu Xin's voice.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this. Chen Mo felt relieved and said, "If it happened last Saturday night, then it certainly did."

"Then that's it. I just wanted to double-check first, just in case there's a misunderstanding." Liu Xin replied with a smile.

"When?"

"Okay, that's all. You're still recovering from your cold, so get some rest. I won't bother you any longer." Liu Xin said with a smile and hung up the phone.

Putting away his phone, Chen Mo guessed that Liu Xin was planning to give him an award sometime soon.

"Officer Liu, is there something you need to talk to you about?" Su Yuqing asked with concern.

"It's about the rescue we did last Saturday night; they've come looking for us," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"They're quite grateful, actually managing to find their way here from so far away." Su Yuqing couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"When that aunt said that her son jumped into the river to save someone, it already showed that their family had a relatively high level of morality, so it's normal for them to have this awareness now."

"This just proves that we didn't save the wrong person, and this illness wasn't in vain, cough cough." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"It's tough on you," Su Yuqing said, gently patting Chen Mo's back with concern.

"This is nothing, I used to be..." Chen Mo almost started talking about his time as a criminal police officer.

Indeed, compared to the hardships of being a frontline criminal police officer running around, that is far more difficult than what I'm experiencing now.

Sometimes, when a case reaches a critical point, I'm genuinely sick, but I just force myself to stay awake.

Looking back on that hardship, Chen Mo felt both pain and joy.

After all, the excitement and pleasure of surging dopamine levels when you finally catch a criminal is really addictive.

"What were you before?" Su Yuqing asked Chen Mo curiously.

“There are so many things to do as a volunteer to help others,” Chen Mo said with a smile.

He did indeed do volunteer work, so it's not exactly a lie.

Hearing how kind-hearted Chen Mo was, Su Yuqing looked at him with even more admiration.

At this moment in the police station...

Looking at the information about Chen Mo that Liu Xin had pulled up, he immediately said to a police officer next to him, "The student who came to report the fugitive's information before was also from this school, right?"

"Yes, I heard that the person has been caught. The information he provided was completely accurate. Because he is a student, the higher-ups are going to publicly award him a certificate at the school. Of course, the specific details will be kept somewhat under wraps."

"The bonus will be distributed privately," the officer next to him said with a smile.

"This school really produces a lot of talented people. Well then, let's make it a double celebration and give out all the awards for the two of them at once."

"Let's choose next Monday. There's a flag-raising ceremony on Monday, and everyone will be there. We can give them the awards then, which will set a good example for all the students."

"That seems to work. Although the award ceremony has been expedited because of the student, the process of receiving the prize money will still take a few days. If it's next Monday, the prize money can be given to the student after the award ceremony."

"Okay, then let's schedule it for next Monday."

After speaking, Liu Xin watched the surveillance footage again. From Chen Mo's walking posture and demeanor, he could always sense that he was well-trained.

This really doesn't seem like the behavior of a high school student.

At this moment, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing were walking home. As night deepened, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased.

This kind of nighttime stroll really has a unique charm.

The two walked side by side, neither saying much, but today's experience brought them closer together.

Su Yuqing was afraid of losing Chen Mo, and so was Chen Mo.

Only by gradually getting closer together can the two find a sense of security that belongs only to them.

What would normally be a long half-hour walk turned into a journey home in the blink of an eye.

Back home, looking at everything in the room, Su Yuqing always had a feeling of having regained what she had lost.

The moment her mother arrived, she had a real sense of fear that she would be forcibly taken back and never be able to come back here again.

Now that she's back home, she instantly feels a sense of security.

Chen Mo glanced at the time; it was already past 10 o'clock, time to go to sleep.

Chen Mo said to Su Yuqing, "I have to go to school tomorrow. If I sleep in, remember to wake me up."

"You're still not well, why don't you rest for another day?" Su Yuqing said with concern.

"It's okay, I'm much better now. The doctor said that this isn't contagious. At most, I'll have a slight cough tomorrow. I just need to wear a mask. As long as I don't have a fever, I'll be fine," Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"Alright then, you should get some rest tonight."

As she spoke, Su Yuqing went into the kitchen and began preparing warm milk for bedtime.

Chen Mo used to bring it to her.

Now that Chen Mo is sick, it's her turn to serve him.

After bringing Chen Mo a small cup of hot milk, Su Yuqing returned to her room, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

Only when she lay back on this small bed did she finally feel like she was home.

It's a sense of belonging.

On this small bed she had only slept in for a week, she felt a sense of security that she hadn't experienced in over a decade.

After lying down on the bed, Su Yuqing, who had been busy for the past two days, quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.

Three o'clock in the morning.

"Chen Mo!"

Su Yuqing suddenly woke up from her sleep.

She dreamt that when she returned home, Chen Mo was lying in a pool of blood, covered in blood.

At that moment, she only felt the sound of glass breaking, her consciousness shattered, and the whole world began to spin before she woke up with a start.

At this moment, she was in a state of confusion.

She covered her head with both hands, her face contorted with pain and panic.

"Chen Mo..." She suddenly looked up at the door. Half asleep, she didn't even know if Chen Mo was still alright.

Overwhelmed with fear and dread at the thought of losing Chen Mo, she jumped out of bed, opened the door, and rushed to Chen Mo's bedroom.
