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

'bite'--

Before Nan Punian could come up with an excuse to kick them out, the elevator started ringing.

Immediately afterwards, two sets of footsteps were heard, one in front and one behind.

Saw someone coming.

Nan Punian's face turned completely black.

Why are you all here?

The plane wasn't delayed? Also, why aren't you going back to be with Grandpa Xu?
Nan Punian moved his lips, knowing that it was impossible to get rid of them, so he simply ignored the three of them, turned around and walked to the living room sofa, where he plopped down and occupied the middle spot.

"Wei Yue? Fish balls!"

The master bedroom door opened.

Nan Shu was wearing fluffy panda pajamas, her shoulder-length hair casually tied up with clips. She paused for a moment when she saw Wei Yue, then her gaze fell on the little guy in his arms.

"Meow~"

Yudan nimbly jumped down from Wei Yue's arms and landed at Nan Shu's feet. Nan Shu squatted down, stretched out her hand, and Yudan snuggled up to her, rubbing against her palm. Then, it rolled over on the blanket, revealing its pink belly, and rolled around.

Nan Shu chuckled, picked it up, and Yu Dan found a comfortable spot, nestling obediently in her arms.

Nan Punian curled his lip, thinking that Wei Yue was like a concubine in the palace who used every means to win the emperor's favor.

People come, and they even bring their cats to compete for attention.

Scheming!

The indoor heating was very strong, and the balcony door was wide open, letting in a cool breeze that neutralized the temperature. Wearing a fleece jacket, it was just the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold.

Wei Yue and the other two took off their heavy coats, but before they could sit down, the knocking on the door started again.

Nan Punian frowned. "No way, there are other people?"
Fortunately.

The door was opened only to find a waiter delivering fireworks.

"Isn't fireworks banned in the capital?"

Seeing that the waiter was struggling to carry the load, Nan Punian rolled up his sleeves and helped out, then looked at Nan Sinian with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, so we applied for a permit to set off fireworks."

Nan Sinian had an expression that said, "Anyway, I have too much money to spend."

Nan Pu Nian: ...

After moving the fireworks to the terrace, the waiter left, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings. However, before leaving, he glanced at Wei Yue and Nan Sinian with undisguised shock in his eyes.

There's a kind of frustration where you get the juicy gossip but have nowhere to vent.

"Shushu, Yudan has been missing you terribly lately. He can't eat or sleep well, and he's even lost weight."

Wei Yue showed no intention of helping, but quietly approached Nan Shu, touched the fish balls, and said pitifully.

Is that so…

Nan Shu weighed the noticeably heavier weight in her hand.

Xu Yunli, standing to the side, frowned as he watched Wei Yue 'act coquettishly'. He glanced at the full-length mirror and moved his eyebrows and eyes in front of it.

Strange!
How weird!

I can't learn a single thing from it.

"What are you doing?"

When Nan Punian returned to move a chair, he saw Xu Yunli doing this, his lips twitched, and he asked in confusion.

Xu Yunli: ...

"Oh, relax your muscles."

Xu Yunli resumed his expressionless demeanor, a slight smile playing on his lips, exuding a gentle yet aloof air.

Nan Punian gave him a strange look, then handed him a chair. "Get to work."

Xu Yunli accepted it.

When the three arrived, it was already 11:30, and after all that, it was almost midnight.

Nan Punian and Wei Yue each held a stick of incense and lit the fireworks that were neatly arranged in a row.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—"

Fireworks of various colors burst into bloom in the sky in an instant.

Nan Shu stood under the eaves, looking up at the fireworks, her almond-shaped eyes bright, lost in thought for a moment.

She remembered a New Year's Eve at the orphanage. That year, a fireworks factory owner came to do charity work, not only donating clothes but also giving the children many fireworks, three for each child.

That was the happiest New Year for Nan Shu. At that time.

Little Nan Shu made up her mind that when she earned money, she would buy lots and lots of fireworks to set off.

Later, after she got a job and earned a salary, she could afford to buy lots and lots of fireworks, but it seemed that she could never find the feeling of celebrating the New Year like she used to.

In fact, Nan Shu didn't feel particularly regretful or sad. After all, people like different things at different stages of life as they grow up.

But at this moment, looking at the dazzling fireworks before her, Nan Shu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Shushu".

Nan Shu snapped out of her daze.

Before she could react, she was embraced tightly.

"Happy New Year."

Nan Shu paused for a moment, then her almond-shaped eyes lit up with a smile. She raised her hand and hugged Nan Sinian back, saying, "Brother Sinian, you too, Happy New Year."

In the new year, steal a moment from your busy schedule and get together with a few close friends... Nan Shu forgot where she saw this sentence, but suddenly felt as if she had become like the characters in the book. This feeling... is really not bad.

"Hey, have you hugged enough?"

Nan Punian's impatient voice rang out.

Nance chuckled, released the girl, raised his hand to ruffle her soft hair, and then stepped aside.

"Xiao Shu, Happy New Year."

Just as Nan Punian was about to step forward, Xu Yunli, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward and squeezed between the two of them.

Although he hadn't learned Wei Yue's way of acting cute, he knew that if he didn't fight for her, Xiao Shu might really be snatched away by someone else.

Nan Pu Nian: ...

"Happy New Year."

Nan Shu looked up at Xu Yunli, her almond-shaped eyes curving upwards, reflecting the dazzling fireworks, so bright and captivating that Xu Yunli was momentarily stunned.

"Gift."

Xu Yunli took out a long, narrow rectangular wooden box from somewhere. The box was inlaid with mother-of-pearl, which reflected colorful light and was exceptionally beautiful.

Nan Shu was taken aback.

Xu Yunli watched her expression, a hint of nervousness flashing in his eyes, and added, "A New Year's gift." It was as if he was afraid that Nan Shu would refuse.

Nan Shu took it.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xu Yunli's fox-like eyes curved into a smile as he breathed a sigh of relief. "You can open it and take a look now."

Nan Shu flipped the clasp and opened the box.

A yellow-green jade hairpin immediately catches the eye. The yellow and green colors intertwine within the hairpin, creating a beautiful artistic effect. The hairpin is decorated with simple auspicious cloud patterns.

Nan Shu picked up the hairpin and immediately noticed something. Under the light of the room, a hazy character "Shu" appeared and disappeared in the auspicious clouds.

“This is…” A look of amazement flashed across Nan Shu’s eyes.

"The intaglio carving isn't very good; I've only just learned it."

Xu Yunli explained with a smile.

"Did you carve all of these yourself, Forensic Doctor Xu?"

Nan Shu looked at Xu Yunli in surprise.

"Ah."

His fox-like eyes curved upwards, and his gaze towards the girl was gentle and tender. "I'm glad you like it."

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Nan Shu gently stroked the jade hairpin with her fingertips; the jade was warm and smooth, just like its former owner.

Wei Yue watched from the side, his phoenix eyes narrowing, a beauty hidden in the clouds?
Their wolfish ambitions are blatantly obvious.

Of course, he himself has never restrained himself.

"Shushu, I have one too."

Wei Yue pulled out a box from somewhere. "A New Year's gift, not expensive, but practical."

When he said the last three words, Wei Yue glanced at someone, as if he was trying to put someone down.

Nan Shu took it, opened it, and found it to be quite practical. Wei Yue had given her a pair of headphones; he had perfectly grasped Nan Shu's psychology. (End of Chapter)
