About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

——Where on earth did this monster come from...

This was the last thought of the crushed Victorian elite before he passed out.

After a while——

"Aha!?"

Adams suddenly stood up from the ground, and the first person he saw was Orson squatting beside him with a concerned expression.

"You're finally awake, Mr. Adams! I'm so sorry, I didn't control my strength well just now!"

Seeing Adams wake up, Orson came up and bowed 90 degrees to apologize.

"...I really can't figure out whether you're teasing me or if you really didn't think I was targeting you."

Adams sighed heavily, touched his head and found that it was bandaged.

"Although I felt like I was being targeted, I didn't take it too seriously because it wasn't out of pure malice."

"'Not pure malice'... As expected of the man Chen Huijie had her eye on, aside from his height, he was completely outmatched in terms of financial resources, fighting ability, and even his broad-mindedness."

Adams shrugged and said he was completely defeated

"Let's not talk about unnecessary things like [height]—ahem, anyway, I want to tell you something. I'm not actually Officer Chen's boyfriend, but an actor she pulled in temporarily to get rid of her 'suitors.'"

"Wha, what?"

"That's exactly what I meant. I'm also very clear that Officer Chen is a wonderful girl from every perspective, and I understand your desire to pursue her. But even so, please don't cause her any more trouble. Despite her outwardly bold and fierce appearance, Officer Chen isn't actually very good at interpersonal relationships, especially with the opposite sex."

Orson said softly, and Adams didn't think the boy was lying, after all, he didn't have to.

"I see. It's really the people in the know who are most confused. Thank you, Mr. Orson."

"Just call me Orson."

Orson smiled at Adams and offered his hand.

"I'll pretend to tell the other suitors that you and Chen are in a relationship, and at the same time, tell them how outstanding you are. This way, the other suitors will probably give up on me—after all, I'm the most powerful one among them."

"I have a feeling that if I do this, I'll inexplicably create a lot more enemies..."

Orson grumbled quietly.

"Hahaha! After all, Chen is so outstanding and attractive. Come to think of it, have you really never thought about being with Huijie?"

After all, Adams was a top graduate of a police academy and a rich second-generation. After knowing that he was not favored by Chen, he decided to withdraw from the competition very readily and even asked Orson about his opinion of Chen.

"Hahaha, there's no way Officer Chen would like me."

Orson smiled and answered decisively.

"Orson, I got the 'Police Spray that chokes elephants to death,' and put it up Adams's nostrils—Ah, are you awake already?"

"...Should I be thankful that I woke up early?"

Chen pushed open the door of the club with a small black bottle in his hand, while Adams wiped the sweat off his face, feeling lucky to have saved his life.

Afterwards, Orson was excitedly dragged away by the store manager who came rushing over. For a moment, only Chen and the top student were left in the club's competition venue.

"How about my, my, my, my boyfriend, he is excellent, right?"

Chen stammered and finally managed to utter a few words.

"Well, where on earth did this guy come from? He's so powerful."

The top student nodded, then looked at Chen's back, who had turned around for some reason.

"By the way, Officer Chen, you didn't hold hands with Orson the whole way here. Have you been having a quarrel recently?"

"Huh!? Are you kidding me? I'll show you how to shake it right now!"

Hearing this, Chen immediately walked towards Orson, and then clamped him like arresting a criminal... no, he held Orson.

——I can only help you so far, Chen

The top student hides his achievements and fame, but he has no idea how big a mess Chen and Orson's "fake lover relationship" will cause in the future.

20. Sister, how could you be tricked into bed so easily?

"Thank you so much today, Orson. My plan is flawless. I think that idiot Adams will finally stop bothering me this time."

On Longmen Street, Chen pulled Orson's arm and walked forward, feeling a rare joy because his plan was a "great success".

Although Adams had already left to deal with other things, Chen seemed to have not reacted yet and still maintained the same posture as before, holding Orson's hand.

"Officer Chen, you said you and Mr. Adams were classmates?"

Orson didn't remind Chen. Instead of saying it out loud and then being hit by Chi Xiao's sword, it would be better to wait for Chen to discover the problem himself.

"Ah, that guy isn't a bad person, but he has always had some mental problems. He pursued Fengpi when we were in school, and later followed me to Longmen."

Chen waved his hands and grumbled quietly, but he looked much more relaxed when talking about his life at the Royal Academy.

There are many small details that show that Chen and Tallulah are sisters. For example, they usually give people a serious impression, but when talking about things they like, they show unconcealable happiness.

Because Chen didn't say what to do next, and Orson didn't have to be dragged around by Archangel today, so Orson followed Chen and strolled on the streets of Longmen.

"Hmm? [Pangu Workshop] has released a new product?"

Chen's eyes were focused on a small shop on the roadside. In the window were several elegant weapons with strange decorations and a strong Yan State style.

"Does Officer Chen like to collect weapons?"

Orson was pulled over by Chen, and the two of them stopped side by side in front of the window, staring at the artworks behind the glass that could cut through iron blocks.

"It's fine, why are you asking?"

——Because along the way you passed by 12 clothing stores, 5 jewelry stores, 3 milk tea shops and 3 cosmetics stores, but you never slowed down once.

"Because I'm actually quite interested in weapons."

Orson didn't tell the actual reason, but just responded casually.

According to Orson's experience in Rhode Island, although some girls are usually carefree and act like they are on friendly terms with others, even so you can't really compliment her by saying "Wow, your son's pecs are so exaggerated", otherwise your head will probably be knocked open by her.

That's right, Orson previously praised Gavial for "fighting like Sett," but he was immediately hit by a head-splitting move that was astonishing.

It is obvious that Chen should be the same. Although she did not even look at the shops that girls like along the way, judging from her plain but sophisticated work clothes, Chen should also be concerned about her "femininity".

"I can't say I like weapons that much, but I just really like these practical yet beautiful weapons. It's a pity that the owner of this weapons workshop has never shown up, and these exhibits are really just on display. No one can buy them."

Chen stretched out his hand through the glass and placed it on one of the ancient-looking Seven-Star Swords. As a well-known "warmongerer" in the Victoria Royal Guard Academy, it would be a joke to say that Chen didn't want to try the feel of using this sword to chop people.

"There's even a need for two hands...ah."

Chen noticed a spear and tried to reach out with both hands to pretend to grasp it, but suddenly she found that she was holding an Orson in her raised left hand.

Chen and Orson's eyes met. After a few seconds of stunned silence, Chen finally reacted and released the hand that was holding Orson.

"Ahem, anyway, thank you so much for today, Orson. It must be tough pretending to be the boyfriend of someone like me."

Chen held back his coughs with his hands to calm himself down, then asked Orson in a formal tone.

"No, it's more like today is the happiest day I've had in Longmen in a while."

"Well……!?"

Orson responded sincerely with an unconcealed smile, and this sentence made Old Chen blush.

But it was obvious that Chen had over-interpreted this. If she had known what Orson had experienced in Longmen these days, she would definitely not have been so self-indulgent as to think that "Orson was so happy because he was pretending to be a couple with her."

No... After all, when I think about it carefully, it seems like I haven't done anything?

Whether it was eating or shopping and fencing later, it seemed that she and Orson had never seriously "showed their affection" from beginning to end.

Chen realized the problem belatedly.

Although in the end, Adams really chose to give up pursuing me, but it seems that I have never seriously shown my love with Orson along the way.

——So Adams was simply conquered by Orson’s masculinity?

No, that sounds too outrageous.

So you were conquered by Orson's feminine power?

Even more outrageous.

"Officer Chen, are you okay?"

Orson looked at Chen who suddenly turned his head and asked with some concern.

"fine……"

Don't think too much. This boy is Tallulah's boyfriend and has nothing to do with you - probably.

In fact, Tallulah hesitated for a long time on the phone, and in the end she didn't say "Orson is my boyfriend!" This might be because she felt particularly ashamed in front of her family.

Tallulah still gets confused in strange places, and that hasn't changed.

But then again, I do feel very happy when I'm with Orson, and this happiness is subtly different from the feeling of taking a walk with Xingxiong during his break.

The most intuitive manifestation is that I had clearly planned to find some thugs this afternoon to see if I could get any information about the Mafia, but I ended up hanging out with Orson inexplicably until now.

Logically, Chen hated this "meaningless waste of time", but she didn't feel bad today.

—No! This guy mentioned earlier that his profession was some strange 'breeder'. Could it be that 'turning everyone around him into trash' was his secret to raising others?!

Chen recalled the general process of today. It didn't feel like she had hired a "fake boyfriend" at all, but more like she had hired a personal butler.

It’s incredible...this young man!

While Chen was feeling lucky that he had woken up early and didn't fall into the trap, he stopped and looked at Orson beside him.

"It's starting to get dark. Do you have anything else to do next, Orson?"

"Hmm? I don't have anything to do today. Let me take you home, Officer Chen."

"Usually I'm the one who takes the criminal suspects 'home'. Thank you for your kindness, but I can do it myself—"

"Hey, isn't this Lao Chen?"

Before Chen finished speaking, a calm, yet pleasant female voice suddenly came from beside the two of them.

"Ah, Ghost Sister!"

"Star Bear?"

Chen and Orson recognized the owner of the voice at the same time.

"What are you two doing here? Is Orson in trouble again?"

Xingxiong parked his heavy motorcycle on the side of the road, took off his helmet, revealing his smooth green hair, and walked over to the two of them.

"No... I have something to talk to Orson about. Are you off work?"

Chen complained in a low voice. After all, from Xingxiong's perspective, he was the bad guy who put Orson in the police station twice in a row.

"Well, it's a rare day without any trouble. Do you want to go have dinner together?"

Xingxiong skillfully invited Chen to have dinner together. It is estimated that the two of them usually get along in a similar way.

"No need. Today...wait, we can go together. Orson can come too. Just consider it as a thank you for today."

Chen, who wanted to refuse the invitation, thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Xingxiong and invited Orson to come along.

"Oh? I don't know what happened, but it seems like you guys are getting along pretty well. Well, to commemorate our Superintendent Chen gaining a new friend, I'll treat you to dinner today."

Xingxiong patted his chest and smiled carefreely.

"Don't say that kind of thing on the street... So, Orson, what do you think?"

Chen sighed, then looked at Orson.

"Then I'll trouble you, Ghost Sister."

Orson nodded. He had no reason to refuse the invitation.

the most important is……

——This time I can finally eat authentic Chinese food!

Orsen was secretly excited and prepared to taste the long-missed steamed buns, stir-fried dishes, stews and cold dishes. After returning, he would imitate them and show off his skills to everyone.
