Xu Yunli did not dodge; his fox-like eyes were full of laughter as he gazed at her.

His fingertips curled up, and his fingertips gently caressed his palm, with a touch of tenderness and affection.

Nan Shu was startled by her own thoughts, and seeing Xu Yunli looking at her like that, if the car hadn't been moving, she felt she would have opened the door and jumped out immediately.

He suddenly turned his head and looked out the window.

Nan Shu heard a cracking sound from her neck and instinctively gasped, about to raise her hand to rub it.

A warm, large hand covered hers, and Nan Shu trembled involuntarily, feeling goosebumps all over her body. Her left side went numb instantly because of Xu Yunli's closeness.

Nan Shu didn't know how she felt right now, but this time, she was thinking much deeper.

If Xu Yunli likes her, then what about Ji Yan? And could Wei Jingxing like her too?

Otherwise, how can we explain those previous actions?

Just now, Nan Shu really hadn't thought about it. She thought they were just friends because that's how she got along with Gao's father and Lao Liu.

If the two people move to the same neighborhood, it's not impossible for them to mooch meals from each other.

In her previous life, Nan Shu participated in a case in the north. She and her colleagues from the branch stayed at the home of the victim's family. There was only one large kang (heated brick bed), with the man at one end and the woman at the other. There weren't many formalities.

So Nan Shu really hadn't thought about it that way, until...

"Does it still hurt?"

Xu Yunli's voice rang out with a hint of concern as he rubbed the muscles on the back of Nan Shu's neck with his fingertips, making Nan Shu want to shrink back.

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Nan Shu didn't dare turn her head; her mind was about to explode.

The most complex thing she had ever handled before was the autopsy of skeletons that were over ten years old, but she still managed to get it done.

But now...

Nan Shu's head started to ache just thinking about it, and she dared not look at Xu Yunli. She felt that she needed to be alone and wanted to be quiet.

Upon hearing her words, Xu Yunli withdrew his hand.

Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ming's voice rang out.

"Forensic Doctor Xu, we've arrived."

To Nan Shu at that moment, the sound was like heavenly music.

Xu Yunli responded softly, glancing at the back of Nan Shu's head, a smile flashing in his eyes.

What Nan Shu inadvertently noticed was his mistake.

But it doesn't matter, he can wait.

Knowing that the girl must be feeling very conflicted, Xu Yunli greeted her and got out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Liu Ming started the engine.

Xu Yunli stood there, watching the car that would be around the corner in just a few seconds, and inexplicably sensed a hint of panicked escape.

She lowered her eyes and chuckled softly.

……

Nan Shu returned home, took a hot shower, dried her hair, and mechanically picked up a hair comb to brush the fish eggs.

As the weather warms up, the two little guys are starting to lose the fat and fur they accumulated over the winter.

As for Xiao Hu and his mother, the two little guys were very outgoing and quickly became friends with Tie Gun'er.

While grooming, Nan Shu thought about many things.

Wei Yue's, Xu Yunli's, Ji Yan's, Wei Jingxing's...

It wasn't until a slight stinging sensation came to Nan Shu's senses that she came back to her senses. When she looked down, she met Yu Dan's accusing eyes.

Suddenly, Nan Shu was reminded of its owner, and her hand trembled.

I almost dropped the fish balls from my arms.

It took me a few seconds to come to my senses.

It turned out that while she was daydreaming, she had brushed Yudan's fur back and forth no less than ten times, until it was almost bald, and only then did Yudan gently bite her.

Nan Shu kissed Yu Dan on the forehead, and Yu Dan immediately felt comfortable, drowsily snuggling in Nan Shu's arms.

Even so, Nan Shu still couldn't figure it out.

She wondered if she was overthinking things. She was just an ordinary person, and they liked her?

What do you like?

Nan Shu couldn't imagine, and dared not even think about, the worst possible scenario.

Nan Shu had no experience, and in just one hour, she almost exhausted herself trying to figure it out. After thinking for a moment, she pulled her phone out from under her pillow. She decided to consult someone with experience.

The phone rang for a while, then a mechanical voice came through; no one answered.

"Sleep?"

Nan Shu glanced at the time in the upper right corner; it was eleven o'clock, not too late.

I called again, and this time someone answered.

Nan Shu couldn't wait to say, "Vitamin D..."

Before she could finish saying "sister," a hoarse male voice rang out, "Who is it?"

Nan Shu's next words got stuck in her throat.

It's like a dead duck with its neck choked.

Nan Shu mechanically lowered her head and looked at the screen. It was indeed Sister Vitamin D, but what about the man, and that voice...?

Nan Shu was flustered and hung up the phone before the other party's voice came through again, almost throwing the phone away.

His face turned bright red.

"what!!!"

Nan Shu pulled the blanket over herself, kicked her feet inside, and did a set of military boxing exercises before pulling it off, panting and staring at the ceiling.

"Forget it, let's just destroy it."

At this time.

The phone rang, startling Nan Shu. She instinctively pressed the hang-up button, but when she saw the caller ID, she came to her senses, sat up immediately, and dialed back.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Nan, are you busy?"

Xiaoyu's words were tinged with caution.

"No, I just did some yoga and accidentally pressed my phone."

Nan Shu took a few deep breaths and reassured her that she understood Xiao Yu's cautiousness.

"Well, Xiao Nan, the reason I called is to tell you that I think I heard that man say something that didn't sound like Hangzhou dialect, but more like Beijing dialect."

Nan Shu was taken aback. The capital?

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

"No, you're welcome, Xiao Nan, you're too kind. It's what I should do, and besides..." Xiao Yu's voice choked up a little, "Thank you."

Even though it was a newly rented apartment, all the clothes, sheets, and blankets inside were clean and had been prepared for her.

She had never been treated so gently and considerately.

"Don't overthink it. It's getting late. Get some rest and adjust your schedule. I'm still waiting for you to treat me to a big meal."

Nan Shu smiled.

This is what Xiaoyu assured me, patting her chest, when we had hot pot at the brigade today.

Xiaoyu smiled upon hearing this, "Okay, goodnight, Xiaonan."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Shu finally calmed down.

I'm not completely calm yet, but I'm much better than at the beginning.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Shu dialed Nan Yannian's number.

The call rang for only a second before the other party hung up. Nan Shu was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, the video call started.

Nan Shu answered the call.

"elder brother."

Nan Yannian was still in his office when he glanced at his special assistant.

Special Assistant: Yes, sir!

He left immediately.

The office door closed, and Nan Yannian's tight lips curled into a smile as he looked at the girl on the other end of the phone, his gaze softening.

"Xiao Shu, what's wrong?"

"Bro, are you still working overtime?"

Nan Shu was about to tell Nan Yannian about Xiao Yu when she saw his back and couldn't help but ask him with concern. (End of Chapter)
