An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 168 Concern
The scenery outside the car window flashed past, constantly changing, from the initial suburban dock, the vast field ridges, through the towering buildings of the city, and then two kilometers ahead was the office area of ​​the anti-drug squad.

After a busy night, juggling multiple tasks and running around, it's no wonder that anyone would feel exhausted. Lu Feng, who was leaning against the back of the car seat and dozing off with his eyes closed, suddenly remembered something important. He abruptly opened his eyes, sat up like a spring in the air, and turned his head to look at the person next to him.

This person is quite energetic, not even taking a break. His gaze is fixed on the window, I wonder what he's thinking about.
Lu Feng asked, "Did the people downstream receive it?"

"We didn't receive the person," Huo Qingshan withdrew his gaze, looked at Lu Feng, and said meaningfully, "She is very smart and meticulous. From the moment she planned to send out that intelligence, she probably already guessed a lot of things and had a clear understanding of the situation."

Xu Penggang thought this place was so secure that not even a fly could get in, but a grown man simply vanished into thin air. What do you think he'd think?

Lu Feng clicked his tongue in amazement. Out of concern for Red Fox's safety, only he and the vice-captain had known who Red Fox was. Therefore, he had only told Huo Qingshan to send someone downstream to pick up someone, without specifying who it was, yet now Huo Qingshan had guessed everything perfectly.

He then recalled that at the dock earlier, this man had asked him in a pretentious manner: "Do you remember the girl at the birthday banquet?"
He's always been best at pretending to be confused when he knows the truth.

However, it's one thing for him to guess, and another to admit it; both sides are well aware of this. Just as many in the group have noticed the existence of someone like Red Fox, they won't come over to ask who Red Fox is. Lu Feng, of course, wouldn't say either.

Lu Feng pursed his lips noncommittally, ignoring the topic, and instead changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the female comrades in your unit are really not to be underestimated. Each and every one of them has something special."

Lu Feng's praise was genuine. If it weren't for that sudden and crucial intelligence, they would have been led by the nose by Xu Penggang all night yesterday. Not only would their undercover work have likely been exposed, but those goods would have also flowed into the market, with unimaginable consequences.

Huo Qingshan didn't even lift his eyelids, and said indifferently, "Thank you."

Lu Feng laughed and scolded, "I didn't praise you."

……

Meng Youyou has not left the anti-drug squad since she arrived last night.

She asked the young police officer who received her if she could stay there for the night.

The young officer, unaware of her relationship with Battalion Commander Huo, was somewhat confused and explained helplessly, "In principle, our office building does not allow unauthorized personnel to linger for extended periods. Please understand."

Not wanting to put the other person in a difficult position, Meng Youyou concealed her disappointment and gave the young police officer a knowing smile: "I understand. You can go ahead and get back to work. I'm leaving."

Later, she stood guard by the gate of the brigade's office area for an entire night.

If someone were to ask Meng Youyou what the most absurd thing she has ever done in her life was,
She would answer without hesitation: When I was young, I was blinded by love. I would squat in the cold wind and rain of a winter night, holding a shaky umbrella, and wait all night just to see him.

Then I'd laugh and sigh: I was so young back then! There was no reason to believe it; I just had that kind of reckless courage to do so many adventurous and impulsive things, simply because I wanted them, simply because I liked them.

Finally, he couldn't resist giving a scathing critique of his past self: "How incredibly stupid I was!"
The brigade's base has an enclosed layout, with two or three buildings connected together, surrounded by a wall.

The gate is wide enough for three cars to pass through side by side. Above the gate is a cement lintel about one meter wide, which extends more than half a meter to both sides.

Meng Youyou squatted under the eaves, leaning against the wall, holding a black umbrella in her arms. The narrow eaves and the not-so-wide umbrella were inevitably of limited use in the face of the torrential rain.

The shoes, as expected, were not spared and gradually became soaked. Later, when the rain stopped, they were almost dried by the wind and my own body heat. My clothes and pants were in much better condition than the shoes.

At first, she was definitely trembling with fear, which reminded Meng Youyou of the little match girl. However, she was quite different from that little girl; she was the one who brought trouble upon herself.

Meng Youyou realized that being a warrior charging into battle for love was no easy task. But since she had already told Xiao Li to drive the car back, she couldn't back out halfway and become a "deserter."

Later, she thought about what would happen if Huo Qingshan saw her and questioned her about why she wasn't wearing rain boots—the kind of ugly red rubber rain boots he had bought for her in Lianshui City.

So how should she answer?
Meng Youyou thought he would definitely get angry and storm off on the spot. She was a brave warrior who would fight for love, how could he be so insensitive!

What if he chases after her and apologizes? Should she forgive him? On second thought, well, maybe it's better to let it go. It's not easy to see each other, so I shouldn't get angry.

Meng Youyou successfully convinced herself, and she decided to be a generous and considerate girlfriend.

"Considering... well... I'll reluctantly consider that you've been contributing to society during this time." Meng Youyou was quite satisfied with this explanation.

Meng Youyou thinks she has a really big vision!

And so, after thinking it over and over, I suddenly didn't feel so cold anymore. I imagined all sorts of scenarios that might happen after I saw him. As I was thinking, the sky gradually brightened, and the moon finally disappeared.

In the distance, a line of vehicles approached. Meng Youyou raised the brim of her umbrella to block the wind and saw the morning light shining on the vehicles. After the rain, the sky cleared, and the distant horizon presented a beautiful and realistic sunrise.

She closed her umbrella, and in just a few seconds, the car was already close. Meng Youyou saw a familiar face peeking out from the lowered car window.

He was also looking at her, seemingly noticing her presence even before she did.

Meng Youyou, who was still squatting, suddenly jumped up from the ground. Her eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed. She excitedly shouted, "Huo Qingshan!"

This shout brought the entire convoy to a halt, with all six cars stopping simultaneously.

Meng Youyou felt somewhat embarrassed and regretful for her earlier outburst.

He quickly got out of the car and jogged towards her.

On the contrary, Meng Youyou stood still and did not move. With so many unfamiliar eyes watching her, she was inevitably a little restrained.

She watched his running figure, getting closer and closer. He'd lost weight—that was the first thought that popped into Meng Youyou's mind amidst her excitement.

Besides that, I suddenly felt... it was worth it.

……

He didn't scold her for not wearing rain boots. Nor did he ask her why she had foolishly squatted at the door waiting for him all night.

None of the expected scenarios occurred. He simply ran over, gently took her hand, led her to the reception room, and poured her a glass of hot water.

Holding a ceramic cup filled with hot water in her hands, feeling the warmth emanating from her palms, Meng Youyou sat alone on the sofa.

The door to the reception room was pushed open from the outside, and Huo Qingshan walked in, squatted down in front of her, and said in a low voice, "I borrowed a pair of shoes from the women in the brigade. They're a bit bigger than yours, so you'll have to make do with them for now."

Wrapped in his overcoat, Meng Youyou sniffed and muttered as she asked him, "Aren't you cold?"

Huo Qingshan sighed, somewhat at a loss with her, and said, "I'll go steal Lu Feng's clothes to wear later."

Meng Youyou burst out laughing.

She reached out a hand, her fingertips touching the dark circles under the man's eyes, and said, "If you can't sleep well, at least you have to eat well."

"Hmm," the man nodded seriously, then took her hand, held it in front of his eyes, and rubbed the edge of her right palm with his fingertips. "Why are you getting chilblains again? Didn't they get better last time? Did you apply any medicine?"

Three questions in a row. Meng Youyou shook her head. She blamed him: "I lost the frostbite cream you bought me last time. You didn't buy me a new one, so I have nothing to apply."

He rubbed her hands together. "My problem? I'll buy you another one."
