I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

Chapter 179: A bad influence? Performing art, not selling one's body? Reflection?
Is she still around? What if she suddenly comes back one day? What will I do then? Will I go back to my old world?

There were too many problems, and Nan Shu's CPU started smoking.

With a 'ding', the elevator arrived.

Nan Shu raised her hand and scratched her head, her emotions fluctuating wildly due to these questions.

"Went to his!"

Nan Shu couldn't help but swear.

Why think so much?!
Is now the time to be thinking about these kinds of things?

Let her go back then. She'll always find somewhere to go. She's Nan Shu, after all; she's incredibly adaptable.

Nan Shu calmed herself down in the time it takes to take one elevator ride, and walked straight ahead for a while. Not hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around in confusion and saw two people standing at the elevator entrance, staring blankly at her.

He acted as if he had just met her.

Nan Shu: ...

"that…"

"Xiaoshu."

Nan Punian raised his hand to interrupt her, "It's okay, I understand. I'll talk to Li Feng about it when we get back. It's all his fault. He led you astray."

Nan Shu: ...

Li Feng: ?
Li Feng, who was organizing the documents, couldn't help but sneeze several times in a row. Strange, these past few days, people have been thinking about him. Could it be that someone is secretly in love with him?

"No, it has nothing to do with Brother Li, this is just how I am."

Nan Shu was helpless.

But Nan Punian had an expression that said her own child was definitely the best, and if she went astray, it must be because she was led astray by other children.

Nan Shu: ...

Xu Yunli walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Was it good?"

"Well…"

Nan Shu hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously. "Awesome." It felt much better to swear it out loud.

Xu Yunli laughed, "If you're under a lot of pressure in the future, just yell at her more. It's good." He looked at the girl, his gaze falling on a strand of hair on her profile. His fingertips twitched, but in the end, he didn't raise his hand.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Xiaoshu, you've already done very well."

He gazed at the girl, his fox-like eyes filled with seriousness, and in the depths of his eyes... there were emotions that Nan Shu couldn't understand.

Nan Shu was taken aback.

“Being able to understand animal speech is a good thing, but at the same time, it will involve you too much in frontline work, Xiaoshu. I don’t know if you were in the past…” Xu Yunli paused, “Xiaoshu, you haven’t graduated yet, you’re young, and you may only be exposed to one side of the case.”

"In frontline work, you will come into contact with the deceased, the deceased's relatives, the murderer, and the murderer's relatives, and naturally you will be more affected. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, but there are still some cases that we are powerless to change. What we can do is no different from before, just do our best."

Xu Yunli curled his fingertips, raised them, and brushed a strand of hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. "So, Xiaoshu, don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't overthink things, everything will take its own course."

Nan Shu's pupils contracted sharply, and she looked up at Xu Yunli with a start, moving her lips slightly.

"you……"

Xu Yunli smiled at her.

"I...huh?"

Nan Punian had somehow appeared behind him, grabbing him by the back of the neck with one hand and dragging him by the shoulder with the other, as if he were dragging a corpse, pulling him forward.

"What are you babbling about? You're here to investigate a case, to investigate a case!"

Xu Yunli: ...

Seeing this, Nan Shu couldn't help but burst out laughing. The iron lotus landed on her shoulder and nuzzled her cheek with its head.

Silently comforting.

"Thank you, Iron Lotus." And thank you too...

Nan Shu looked up at Xu Yunli. He seemed to sense something, turned his head to look at her, and the two smiled at each other.

In fact, ever since signing the contract as a special consultant, Nan Shu had unconsciously put a lot of pressure on herself because of her "golden touch." She wasn't usually someone who easily got bogged down in internal conflicts, but today's sudden burst of wild, unrestrained thoughts, coupled with Xu Yunli's words, brought Nan Shu back to her senses.

original.

Her ability to withstand pressure doesn't seem to be as good as I imagined...

Nan Shu decided to search for good ways to relieve stress when she got back tonight.

Stepping out of the apartment building, I saw several children playing in the children's play area, with adults watching from a distance.

Nan Shu saw a familiar figure inside.

The girl, wearing a white T-shirt and denim overalls, was squatting alone in a corner of the sand pile, playing with her toys.

The noise of the other children had nothing to do with her.

Nan Shu frowned, stepped forward, and Nan Punian and the other person stopped in their tracks.

"Xiao Shu, do you know her?"

"Yes, the bird feeder's daughter, her name is Xixi, and her ears are a little..."

Nan Shu paused, not continuing, but the two understood.

Nan Shu walked up behind the little girl and patted her on the shoulder.

Xi Xi was taken aback, turned her head, and the moment she saw Nan Shu, her big eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to gesture.

"elder sister!"

Nan Shu had seen this gesture before and knew that she was greeting her. She nodded, squatted down, and made sure the little girl could see her mouth movements clearly.

"Why are you here alone?"

Knowing that Nan Shu couldn't understand sign language, Xi Xi clapped her hands and took out a small notebook from her overalls.

"After school, let's play."

In Huayang Residential Area, most of the residents are couples from other provinces who come to work and bring their children with them.

Wu Rong and his wife run a small food stall, while Xi Xi's parents run a bird feed shop. They have to buy and unload goods every day. Most of the time, after Xi Xi returns to the community by school bus, he walks to the shop by himself.

The residential area is not far from the store; it only takes about ten minutes by taking a shortcut.

But recently, news of Wu Qiang's disappearance has spread throughout the neighborhood, so now even if parents know their children are playing downstairs, they will still keep an eye on them. Before, the parents were all busy with their own things, cooking upstairs. When the food was ready, they would open the window and call out the child's name downstairs, and the child would know it was time to go back for dinner.

During this period, business at the store was good, and Xixi's parents were too busy to manage everything. They were also worried that something might happen to Xixi, so they asked their neighbors to help look after her.

Nan Shu glanced at the parents of the children not far away. When they saw her approaching Xixi, they stopped talking and became wary of her because she was a stranger.

But seeing that Xixi knew her, they started chatting.

Nan Shu suddenly understood the saying, "A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative."

"Then have fun."

Nan Shu patted the little girl's head, but Xi Xi didn't respond. She just looked at Tie Lianhua with curiosity.

"Sister, can I touch you?"

Xixi wrote in her little notebook.

While writing, his eyes remained fixed on the iron lotus flower.

The other children also stopped making a fuss and squatted down not far from Nan Shu, looking at Tie Lianhua with curiosity, as if Nan Shu was the leader of this group of children.

"I'll discuss it with it."

Nan Shu smiled and then looked at Tie Lianhua.

The iron lotus understood immediately, and hurriedly spread its wings to hug its beautiful yet weak body.

She sobbed, "They sell their art, not their bodies."

Nan Shu: ...
