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

Chapter 211 Fire? Hug? It's alright? Strange feeling?
"Hello, this is Building 3 of Yunlan Garden. There's a fire on the 20th floor. The fire is quite serious, and we don't know yet if there have been any casualties..."

"Okay, I understand, please do so as soon as possible."

Nan Shu dialed the police, took out the small box containing the leash and iron rod, put the iron rod inside, and then put the leash around the necks of Tie Dan and Tie Hanhan.

Thick smoke was rising in the stairwell. Nan Shu called the property management, and the call was answered quickly. The property management had also discovered the fire and had notified the residents in the group chat and sent private messages to all the residents in the community.

Residents of the building where the fire occurred, in particular, made phone calls.

"What about the owner of the 20th floor? Is it owner-occupied or rented out? Have you been able to get through to them by phone?"

Nan Shu covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel, and walked quickly down the fire escape wall. She heard several footsteps and exclamations from upstairs.

"No."

The property manager's voice also carried a hint of urgency and worry, "Ms. Sun's phone has been switched off the whole time."

Nan Shu frowned. Just then, she arrived at the stairwell on the twentieth floor. She moved her lips as if to say something, but was suddenly bumped by someone. If her center of gravity hadn't been lowered and she hadn't been supported by Tie Hanhan, she probably would have lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs.

"You...cough cough..."

The person didn't close the door, and the smoke got even thicker. Nan Shu choked a little, glanced at the tightly closed door on the twentieth floor, and quickly walked downstairs with Tie Hanhan and the others, because the fire was too big.

The situation inside the main entrance is currently unknown. Nan Shu knows how to use the fire hydrant, but: first, she doesn't know the password for the 20th-floor entrance door and can't open it; second, the situation inside is unclear, and if the fire is large, opening the entrance door rashly could very likely cause an explosion.

Nan Shu quickly assessed the situation and decisively ran down with the flow of people.

When we got to the second and third floors, the noise level increased.

Fortunately, all three buildings have only one apartment per floor, and there are not many residents, so no stampede occurred.

"How could it suddenly catch fire? And why is the fire so big?"

"Where are the firefighters? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"I heard there was a car blocking the entrance to the fire lane. What an idiot."

"Call them right now and ask them to move the car! What kind of mess is this?"

"..."

Nan Shu stood in the crowd, looking up at the thick smoke rising from the twentieth floor, her brows furrowing involuntarily.

The surroundings were chaotic, so Nan Shu found a quiet spot by a flower bed and sat down. When Tie Lianhua came down, her feathers were stained with black smoke, making the whole bird look black. Tie Dan's white feathers also turned gray. On the other hand, Tie Hanhan was originally black and gray, so it didn't look so obvious.

Tiezhu stayed quietly in the small cage, with the four little ones by her side.

"Nan Shu!"

at this time.

Nan Shu heard a clear, gentle voice calling her. She looked up at the crowd and, apart from a few familiar faces among the property management staff, she didn't recognize any of the residents in their pajamas.

Nan Shu frowned.

Ask the silly animals, "Have you heard someone calling me?"

Tie Hanhan's ears perked up, and Tie Dan, lying on Nan Shu's lap, looked around with his heterochromatic eyes upon hearing this.

"Did I hear wrongly?"

Nan Shu murmured.

A shadow fell over her head, accompanied by soft breathing. Nan Shu was startled and was about to look up when she was enveloped in a warm and tender embrace.

"It's okay."

Her clear, gentle voice trembled, revealing a hint of lingering fear.

Nan Shu came to her senses and felt that the man's embrace was a little too tight, making it slightly difficult for her to breathe.

"Xu...forensic doctor? What brings you here?"

Xu Yunli took a deep breath before releasing her, looking at the girl, raising his hand, and gently wiping her cheek with his fingertips.

The night breeze was gentle, the movements were soft, and there was a hint of tenderness in them.

Nan Shu: ?
“There’s dust.” Xu Yunli held his fingertips up to Nan Shu’s eyes, showing them to her.

Nan Shu turned her head to look at the man. He was wearing black cotton pajamas. Perhaps because he had come out in a hurry, his black hair was messy, and his glasses had black frames. His skin, which was slightly whiter than the average person's, had a faint pinkish tint from running. He exuded an indescribable gentleness, unlike the aloofness one would feel when wearing a forensic uniform.

"what happened?"

Xu Yunli felt a little uncomfortable under the girl's gaze. He curled his fingertips, looked away, and asked.

"How did you come?"

Nan Shu repeated the question she had just asked.

“A-Nian received the news that there was a fire here. Since it's quite far away, he called me and asked me to come and check the situation first.”

As Xu Yunli spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on the girl, looking her over from head to toe. Only after confirming that she was not injured did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I am fine."

Nan Shu paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Yunli.

Xu Yunli: ...

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Yunli sighed inwardly, but couldn't help asking the question.

When he first visited and dissected a cadaver, his heart wasn't beating as fast as it is today.

This feeling was so unfamiliar that Xu Yunli unconsciously frowned.

It's unusual, but I don't find it offensive.

even……

I'm still very happy.

"I..." Nan Shu opened her mouth, but after saying the word "I", she stopped. She didn't know why.

Nan Shu felt a little strange looking at Xu Yunli, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

But when I saw Xu Yunli looking so disheveled and full of worry, my heart felt like it had been gently bumped by something.

This feeling is somewhat unfamiliar.

Xu Yunli stared at her for a long time, but didn't hear the girl say anything after "I". The girl seemed to be stuck in a difficult math problem. Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and her almond eyes showed a hint of doubt and confusion. Her hair was blown by the wind, and a few newly grown short hairs stood up, showing an indescribable obedience.

Xu Yunli unconsciously raised his hand, wanting to press down those few stray hairs, but just as he touched the top of the girl's head, he heard another voice.

"Xiao Shu!"

The two looked up at the same time and saw that Nan Punian was also wearing pajamas, but the buttons on his clothes were not all fastened and he was wearing the wrong slippers. He quickly walked up to Nan Shu.

His face was cold and stern, almost deathly so.

"Are you injured?"

Nan Shu shook her head.

Nan Punian raised his hand, pulled the little girl into his arms, and vigorously rubbed the top of her head.

"It's fine if you don't."

Nan Shu lowered her head, her gaze falling on the two shoes Nan Punian had worn incorrectly, and blinked her almond-shaped eyes.

The temperature dropped sharply at night, and Nan Shu was only wearing pajamas and a thin coat, but her heart was warm.

Unable to resist, she raised her hand and hugged Nan Punian back.

Xu Yunli's hands hung limply at his sides as he looked at the two embracing each other. A dim light flashed in his eyes behind his glasses, and he forced a bitter smile.

The four silly boys stood to the side, glancing at Xu Yunli and then at Nan Shu and the other girl.
