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

"So it really is Miss Nan. I thought I had mistaken her for someone else."

Liu Guangyao was wearing a black suit with a dark gray down jacket, and an assistant followed behind him, all smiles.

They walked towards Nan Shu.

Xu Yunli's eyes darkened, and he stepped to the side, silently blocking Nan Shu's path. Liu Guangyao paused and looked at him.

"Forensic doctor Xu is truly a promising young man."

Liu Guangyao's expression remained unchanged as he praised it.

"Ah."

Xu Yunli nodded, "I think so too."

Liu Guangyao: ...

"Miss Nan, what brings you to Liu Family Village?" Liu Guangyao asked, ignoring Ji Yan and Tie Hanhan beside him. "Is there another case?"

Ji Yan: ?
No, am I not human?

"This has nothing to do with Mr. Liu."

Before Nan Shu could speak, Xu Yunli said calmly, tilting his head slightly, "Mr. Liu is so concerned about our team's operations, could it be that you want to join us?"

Then, the fox-like eyes swept him up and down, "Oh, sorry, I forgot, Mr. Liu is already far from thirty-five years old, so he can't join."

Liu Guangyao: ...

Standing behind Xu Yunli, Nan Shu blinked as she listened to his merciless personal attacks.

What a nice person, with such a silver tongue!

If Nan Shu's initial dislike for Liu Guangyao was due to a clash of personalities, after the case in Liu Family Village, her feelings towards Liu Guangyao could be described as rejection and even disgust.

Nan Shu felt that if someone as nice as herself could be so disliked by her, then there must be something wrong with that person.

No rebuttal will be accepted.

So when Nan Shu saw Xu Yunli rebuking him like that, she secretly felt a surge of satisfaction while mentally tapping on her wooden fish.

Ji Yan finally saw Xu Yunli in full force, and silently squatted down to hug the silly boy.

Goodness, he finally realized that Xu Yunli had been holding back when he was being criticized earlier.

"Forensic doctor Xu seems to be somewhat hostile towards me..."

A cold glint flashed in Liu Guangyao's eyes, but he maintained a polite smile on his face. "I don't know what I did to make Forensic Doctor Xu misunderstand."

Are you RMB?

Xu Yunli was completely unmoved by his words. "If that's not the case, why should others like you? As for hostility... I'm not a cheerful person by nature, and Mr. Liu's mind is full of complex thoughts, so it's reasonable for him to misunderstand me."

Ji Yan: ...Even though we're rivals in love, it feels so good!
Ji Yan wasn't stupid. At first, she didn't recognize Liu Guangyao. When she saw him take the initiative to greet Nan Shu, she thought he was Nan Shu's friend. But after seeing Xu Yunli's attitude and Nan Shu's tacit agreement, she understood.

The look in his eyes toward Liu Guangyao held a hint of hostility.

Liu Guangyao was utterly humiliated by Xu Yunli's rebuttal, speechless, and almost unable to maintain his smile.

“I just remembered something else…” Liu Guangyao looked at Nan Shu, “Then I won’t bother you any longer, goodbye.”

Nan Shu didn't get to say a single word from beginning to end.

The three people and the dog got into the car.

The atmosphere inside the car was as quiet as a chicken's nest.

Xu Yunli raised his hand, pushed up his glasses, turned his head to look at Nan Shu, and then glanced at the person and dog in the back seat.

"what happened?"

Nan Shu shook her head, "It's nothing, it's nothing." With that, she started the car.

Ji Yan silently swallowed back his words of praise. Praising a rival in front of someone you like is a big no-no!
Even after returning to the branch office, Nan Shu still didn't know where the restaurant Xu Yunli had mentioned was located.

Knowing that Nan Shu had other things to do, Ji Yan got off the car and obediently rode his beloved little motorcycle away from the branch.

"Hey, Xiao Nan!"

Just as Nan Shu and Xu Yunli were about to return to their office, the security guard at the door called out to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu paused in her steps.

"Here are your two packages; the packaging is quite exquisite."

Nan Shu was startled, then realized what she meant and murmured.

"So fast?"

Heading towards the security booth.

The old man was a retired soldier who was rehired. He had served in the army in his younger years and even participated in foreign aid campaigns. He had bright, piercing eyes. After retiring, he couldn't stay idle, so he came back to apply for a security guard job.

and so.

Actually, people over 35 also have a chance to join their team, provided they can beat the old man. "Look, these are the two."

The old man pointed to two gift boxes on the table. Even the outer packaging was exquisite, with the word "Fragile" affixed to the side. The old man didn't dare to put them on the shelf casually, for fear of breaking the contents.

"Thank you."

Nan Shu carefully stacked the two gift boxes and was about to pick them up when a hand reached out and snatched the boxes into its arms first.

"Let's go."

Xu Yunli, still holding the leash of the idiot dog and carrying the gift box, turned to Nan Shu and then walked out of the security booth.

Nan Shu was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted and quickly followed.

"Let's go to the South Team's office."

Seeing Xu Yunli walk towards the main office, Nan Shu spoke up.

Xu Yunli paused, turning his head to look at Nan Shu with a puzzled expression.

"that…"

Nan Shu pointed to one of the gift boxes, "One of them is for Team Leader Nan."

Oh…

Xu Yunli's lip line is slightly taut.

He's not sour.

He wasn't envious at all.

"it is good."

Xu Yunli responded and turned to walk towards Nan Punian's office.

The office door was not closed, so Xu Yunli used his knee to pry it open.

The door panel slid in an exaggerated arc and slammed into the anti-collision strip on the wall. The sound wasn't loud, but it still startled Nan Punian, who was filling the water container.

"Did you eat gunpowder?"

Nan Punian burned his hand, quickly put down the cup, and touched his ear.

Xu Yunli glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and walked straight to the low table, gently putting down the gift box in her hand.

Nanpu Nian: ?

"South Team".

Just as Nan Punian was about to ask him what was wrong, he saw Nan Shu walk in. He was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, looked at Xu Yunli, and then at Nan Shu.

It seemed as if they were wondering why the two of them had come together.

"It just so happens that you're here."

Nan Shu handed him the gift box that had been delivered, saying, "It's a belated New Year's gift. It's not very expensive, but I hope you'll like it."

Nan Punian stood there, stunned.

"G-Give it to me?"

His voice became unsteady, unable to hide his excitement and surprise.

Xu Yunli glanced at him indifferently, and the temperature around him dropped a few degrees.

But at this moment, Nan Punian's entire attention was focused on the gift box in his hand, and he had no time to pay attention to him at all.

"Ah."

Seeing his expression, Nan Shu was afraid he wouldn't like it, so she emphasized again, "If Captain Nan doesn't like it..."

"like!"

Nan Punian smiled brightly and raised his voice several decibels as he retorted, "I like anything that Xiaoshu gives me."

"Then... can I open it now?"

Nan Punian held the gift box carefully, as if it were a priceless and fragile jewel.

Nan Shu: ...There's no need for that.

"can."

Nan Punian sat on the sofa and placed the gift box on his lap. He was extremely careful with even the outer packaging, picking at it little by little with his fingertips. Nan Shu wanted to go forward and open the gift for him.

Fortunately, before Nan Shu ran out of patience, Nan Punian managed to neatly remove the outer packaging.

then.

Continue unpacking the second layer of packaging.
