Nan Punian waved his hand.

"I...I'm fine...Ugh!"

Nan Shu: ...

Today, not only the entire detachment but also the canteen was filled with the smell of cilantro, which was like a poison gas bomb to Nan Punian.

He didn't eat lunch, just ate a piece of candy, and then he held the trash can and dry heaved for a long time, but nothing came out.

Nan Shu poured him a glass of warm water.

"Thank you, Xiaoshu."

Nan Punian took the drink, slumped into the chair, and looked at him. Nan Shu felt that his posture was becoming more and more familiar. Then she remembered that Tie Gun'er had looked like this yesterday.

"Brother, do you want to rest for a while?"

Nan Shu chuckled and asked.

Nan Punian waved his hand, about to speak, when the office door was pushed open from the outside and Xu Yunli walked in.

"wait!"

Nan Punian looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

Xu Yunli stopped, glanced at Nan Shu, and subconsciously pursed his lips.

Because of his arrival, the concentration of cilantro in the office skyrocketed.

Just like Xu Yunli, he's been thoroughly pickled by cilantro inside and out; he's now a walking cilantro.

"What are you here for?"

Nan Punian covered his nose with his hand, his voice muffled, his disgust evident.

"Brother Wang is back. According to the sampling investigation, the deceased is very likely the third son of Chai Xiong'er's grandfather, Chai An, who went missing."

Xu Yunli didn't look at Nan Shu, but lowered his head and said.

The autopsy room looks like it's been bombed with poison gas; even dogs passing by will instinctively quicken their pace.

Xu Yunli took several showers, but couldn't get rid of the smell, so he could only cover it up with cilantro, which has an even stronger smell.

However, the flavor of cilantro usually only lasts for a few hours, requiring you to keep rubbing the cilantro.

"Chai An's father is currently in the interrogation room."

"okay, I get it."

After Nan Punian finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yunli and gestured with his eyes that if there was nothing else, he could leave.

Xu Yunli: ...

Xu Yunli sighed inwardly, feeling quite depressed. It wasn't because of Nan Punian's disdain, but because the girl he liked had seen him in such a disheveled state.

Especially since he smells really bad right now.

Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Nan Shu taking a step toward him out of the corner of his eye. Xu Yunli was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

Nan Shu raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Xu Yunli took another step forward, then took another step back.

Nan Shu didn't understand and thought the behavior was very childish, but looking at Xu Yunli's appearance, Nan Shu couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Xu Yunli tried to take another step closer, but then retreated.

Nan Shu inexplicably recalled a New Year's toy she had when she was a child in an orphanage in her previous life: a wind-up green frog.

It bounces and jumps with every touch, just like Xu Yunli's current appearance.

Nan Shu couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Xu Yunli looked at her upturned almond-shaped eyes, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved upwards.

Nan Punian, who had watched the whole thing but had no idea why the two of them were suddenly laughing: ...

He felt that his 'former brother' was becoming increasingly unpleasant to look at.

……

Nan Punian sent Xu Yunli away and went to the interrogation room, while Nan Shu went to the main office to help Li Feng process the documents.

All three perpetrators involved in the massacre of the family are dead. The truth is probably only known to them.

The reason Chai An's father came was probably more to take his son home and bury him.

Nan Shu wasn't good at this kind of thing; she preferred dealing with the little guy and corpses.

After a busy afternoon, Nan Shu smelled of cilantro. As soon as she got in the car, Liu Ming smelled it and teased her:
"Xiao Nan, did you fall into a pile of cilantro?"

"I must say, it smells pretty good, it's making me want to eat hot pot." Liu Ming started the car. Compared to Nan Punian, who avoids cilantro like the plague, he's a cilantro fanatic.

"Let's have hot pot for dinner then."

Nan Shu happened to want to eat it too.

“Okay, I know a hot pot restaurant that’s really good…” Liu Ming said, turning the steering wheel around.

Nan Shu listened from the back row, and just listening to Liu Ming speak made her mouth water.

It has to be said that Liu Ming is a very suitable dining partner. His knife skills are superb, his cooking skills are exceptional, no less than Ji Yan's, and he doesn't make Nan Shu feel uncomfortable.

Ever since Nan Shu asked Liu Ming to cook a dish for her once, Liu Ming has successfully been promoted to a meal buddy in Nan Shu's heart.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill and returned to the residential area, the property management security personnel stopped Nan Shu.

"Ms. Nan, here is a package for you."

Unless it is a package that requires the recipient's signature, the property management usually keeps the residents' packages and will remind them when they return home.

Alternatively, you can simply make a phone call, and the property management will send someone to deliver the package to your door.

However, Nan Shu hasn't bought anything recently...

After Liu Ming checked the package and confirmed that there were no problems, he handed it to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu glanced at the sender's name and was taken aback.

Why would she send herself something?
Nan Shu opened it with a puzzled look and found it to be a very exquisite invitation.

As Nan Shu scanned the contents, her doubts only increased.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Nan Shu's expression was strange, Liu Ming asked seriously.

"without…"

Nan Shu put down the invitation. "I'm just a little surprised..."

She didn't expect that Yang Yu would specially send her a birthday invitation.

Nan Shu thought back carefully and realized that apart from that live broadcast, the two of them didn't seem to have any interaction.

Back home, Nan Shu looked at the invitation for a while and then took out her phone.

The call was quickly answered.

Nan Yannian's deep voice, tinged with a slight smile, rang out accompanied by the elegant sound of a violin.

"Xiao Shu, are you off work? Have you eaten yet?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Yannian noticed that his second younger brother, who had just been somewhat impatient and saying he wanted to go home and sleep early, sat up straight, his peach blossom eyes staring at him with uncontrollable sourness.

"I've eaten... Brother, what about you? Are you outside right now?"

"Hmm... I'm having dinner with Sinian at a restaurant outside."

Nan Yannian told the truth.

"My second brother is here too. I miss him."

Long before Nan Shu spoke, Nan Sinian had already forced Nan Yannian to turn on the speakerphone with his eyes. Anyway, they were in a private room, and the violinist was far away and couldn't hear what the two of them were saying.

Hearing Nan Shu's words, Nan Sinian's peach blossom eyes curved into a smile, and he gave his older brother a provocative look. "Shu Shu kept saying she missed me when she was on the phone with you!"
Nan Yannian: ...

childish!

But she still pursed her lips slightly downwards.

"I miss my older brother too."

Nan Shu seemed to be able to guess the expressions on the two brothers' faces, and added.

Nan Yannian's expression softened a bit, and he asked Nan Shu why she had suddenly called.

"Brother, Yang Yu sent me a birthday invitation... The banquet is being held at Yun Jin Lou in Hangzhou..."

Nan Shu paused for a moment, "Was Yang Yu's previous birthday party... also in Hangzhou? Or is it held in a different place every year?"

Nan Shu had not forgotten that she was now a member of the Nan family.

Before receiving this invitation, Nan Shu didn't really understand the terms "aristocratic family," "heir of the Nan family," or "second- or third-generation rich kid."

Until now…

In the original owner's memories, wealthy families did indeed have a lot of social engagements. However, she had been well protected by her brothers, and these things had never reached her and had been filtered out.
