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

Just as Li Feng was struggling with his decision, he saw Xu Yunli tuck the blanket in for someone, get up, and prepare to leave.

Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could even catch his breath, a hand reached out from under the covers and grabbed someone's arm.

"hiss!"

Li Feng's eyes widened suddenly. Was this something he could see without spending money?

Intuition told him that he shouldn't linger here, but curiosity kept his feet firmly planted at the door.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Yunli's eyes, which quickly turned into tenderness. He bowed and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Nan Shu opened her eyes and looked at him, still somewhat conscious.

A single beer was enough to make her dizzy, let alone a shot of strong liquor. If it weren't for the wind blowing on her the whole way, she probably would have passed out long ago.

Although it's almost done now.

"Xu Yunli."

It seemed to be the first time Nan Shu had called him by his full name.

"Um…"

Xu Yunli crouched down, bringing his gaze level with hers so she wouldn't have to look up at him. "I'm here. Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"

As he spoke, he reached out his hand toward her forehead, but she turned her head to dodge it, and Xu Yunli's hand froze in mid-air.

Nan Shu looked at him.

"Did you know?"

Xu Yunli: "Hmm?"

Nan Shu repeated it again.

This was a secret she kept buried in her heart, one she could never confide in.

because.

Even with her elder brother and the others, Nan Shu didn't dare to gamble.

Li Feng was completely confused. They knew? Know what? Did Xiao Nan and Forensic Doctor Xu have some unspeakable secret?

The ears perked up uncontrollably.

He really didn't mean to eavesdrop. He was just a little worried and left the drunk Xiao Nan and the forensic doctor Xu alone in a space. Yeah, that's it!
Xu Yunli seemed to suddenly notice his presence and looked up.

"Xiao Li, could you please leave for a moment?"

Li Feng moved his lips.

"There are some things I want to say to Xiaoshu alone."

Nan Shu responded with a soft "hmm," her tone calm and completely devoid of any hint of drunkenness.

Well, it seems the necessary conditions are no longer in place. Li Feng glanced at the two of them, closed the door, and turned to leave.

The latch engages with the buckle, making a slight click.

Isolate it from outside noise.

Xu Yunli looked at Nan Shu. He knew that Nan Shu was still drunk, and perhaps she wouldn't remember what happened today when she woke up the next day, but...

He crouched down and hummed in affirmation again, this time as a response to her question.

Nan Shu took a few seconds to react, her almond-shaped eyes slowly widening.

The seven-tenths drunkenness was jolted away by the shock, and he propped himself up on the bed sheet with one hand, looking at Xu Yunli. "So you knew all along. When...did you find out?"

Xu Yunli placed a cushion behind her.

"Xiao Shu is very familiar with the professional terminology of forensic medicine."

Nan Shu found a comfortable position to lean back and replied dryly, "That's because I like reading suspense novels, and I also read some books related to forensic medicine."

"Well, Ah Nian doesn't know much about forensic medicine, so he believed this reason."

Xu Yunli moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, watching Nan Shu's stubbornness, his fox-like eyes curving into a smile.

Nan Shu: ...

Why is this involving comparison and disparagement?
“A-Nian investigated you, and I’ve also seen Xiao-Shu’s file…”

Xu Yunli turned his head to look at her.

"Judging from the timeline, it should have been around the time Xiaoshu moved out of the Nan family." Nan Shu's almond-shaped eyes widened even more as she stared blankly at Xu Yunli.

It seemed as if he was asking in a murmur:

"Are not you afraid?"

Nan Shu herself was scared. Possessing a corpse to return to life, if word got out, she'd probably be sent to a mental hospital, and for at least three courses of treatment.

Why did this person in front of me know, but instead of exposing it, they...and...

Yes, Xu Yunli still likes her!
Nan Shu's gaze toward Xu Yunli became strange.

"At first, it was out of curiosity."

Xu Yunli tilted his head and stared at Nan Shu, as if trying to see through her skin to her soul.

in fact.

Xu Yunli felt from a young age that he was different from ordinary children. When children see bloody and terrifying scenes, they will be frightened, stunned, or cry, but he will not. He will only be curious.

With both parents in the military who are away from home most of the year, Xu Yunli is, in a sense, a "left-behind child".

The only people in the house were his ailing grandfather and him.

My uncles and aunts are all very busy, so busy that you might not see them all year round.

So no one noticed his difference. Later, his parents died in the mission one after the other. He was only ten years old at the time.

The funeral was the one where the whole family was present at the most.

Everyone was crying, except for Xu Yunli. He had never spent time with them and didn't feel particularly sad.

It was around that time that his grandfather noticed something was wrong with him, took him to see a psychologist, and started treatment and medication. His grandfather then spent much more time with him.

The treatment was effective, and with his grandfather's companionship, Xu Yunli finally understood what family love truly meant.

Becoming brothers with Nan Punian taught Xu Yunli what friendship truly meant.

However, Xu Yunli is clueless when it comes to love.

After he finished his studies and started working in the detachment as a forensic doctor, he spent most of his time in contact with corpses and Ah Nian. Work and friendship almost filled his life.

Therefore, in Xu Yunli's view, love is something that is optional.

and……

What exactly does it feel like to like someone?

The scientific explanation is that upon seeing the other person, the brain releases a special type of dopamine, which causes the heart muscle to contract, resulting in reactions such as rapid heartbeat, flushed cheeks, and disorientation in the hands and feet... Xu Yunli had never experienced this.

He had asked A-Nian this question before, but the answer he got was that he didn't know either. Oh right, he really shouldn't have asked A-Nian back then, because A-Nian was also a lifelong bachelor.

Until he met Nan Shu.

He knew that the world was so big that there would always be some people who were different from ordinary people. For example, Nan Shu could understand animal speech, and some people were naturally favored by plants.

Therefore, he was very curious about Nan Shu.

Every time Nan Shu appeared, his gaze would be unconsciously drawn to her. When he finally realized it, he wondered if his curiosity had lasted too long.

So long ago, it seemed that if I didn't see her for even a day, her image would unconsciously appear in my mind.

Xu Yunli naturally had no idea what was wrong with him, so he secretly went online for help.

Filtering out the unreliable comments, one comment cleared up the fog in his mind.

—【So you've fallen for her? Has the poster never been in a relationship before? How old are you? Are you an adult?】

Xu Yunli ignored the question that followed, her gaze fixed on the word 'like', and sparks seemed to be popping up in her mind.

So this is what liking someone is?

original.

He's fallen for Xiao Shu.

This realization made every cell in his body leap with joy.

"And then, I fell in love with it."

As for fear.

What is that? (End of Chapter)
