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

After waiting for an explanation for ages, all I got was a direct confession from Nan Shu: ...

No, what about the process of how you discovered it?

How did we end up here?
Nan Shu touched her cheek with the back of her hand and said, "Let's get down to business!"

"I'm very happy."

Xu Yunli looked at her and said.

Nan Shu: ?
"Even A-Nian didn't notice, only I did."

Xu Yunli's lips curled into a proud smile as he stared at Nan Shu with his fox-like eyes.

"This is a little secret between Xiaoshu and me."

Nan Shu's gaze grew increasingly strange; this was the first time she had ever seen Xu Yunli like this.

Nan Shu racked her brains and finally found a suitable word: vibrant.

Correct!
It's fresh and vibrant.

Xu Yunli's profession has given him labels such as "wise, calm, and composed," which subconsciously make him difficult to approach. In addition, Xu Yunli is usually quiet, much like the "unapproachable beauty" described on the Internet.

It can be admired from afar but not touched.

Even Sister Yaqin kept a distance from him, including Li Feng.

At this moment, Xu Yunli seemed to come back to life, stepping into the human world.

"What if I'm some kind of man-eating monster? Or..."

Nan Shu paused, then deliberately moved closer to his face, staring into his eyes, "In my past life, I was already seventy or eighty years old. Did you still like me then?"

Monsters are definitely out of the question, Xu Yunli thought. No monster would diligently deliver takeout...

As for eighty… He looked into the girl’s eyes, moved his lips and said, “Based on my judgment, Xiao Shu should not have been over thirty in her previous life.”

"What if I were eighty?"

In the past, Nan Shu would never have agonized over such a naive assumption, but she was drunk (hands on hips).

"I'll like it too."

Xu Yunli actually thought about it seriously and gave an answer.

Now it was Nan Shu's turn to fall silent. She realized that Xu Yunli could not be understood using ordinary thinking.

Think for a second.

Nan Shu simply couldn't accept it.

"Xiao Shu, can you tell me about your past life?"

Xu Yunli leaned against the edge of the bed, his hands resting on the blanket, his chin resting on the back of his hands, tilting his head to look up at her with a look of curiosity.

Nan Shu's breath hitched. It was happening again, that obedient feeling.

But the word "well-behaved" shouldn't be associated with Xu Yunli in the first place.

But at this moment, it doesn't feel out of place at all; in fact, it's irresistible.

"In my past life... I was actually quite boring..."

It is said that in the long river of history, people are very insignificant, their lives are but a few fleeting strokes, yet those who are remembered in history are still the ones who leave their mark. Nan Shu felt that her past life was even simpler: born in an orphanage, she became a forensic doctor after graduation, and died unexpectedly.

A single sentence encapsulates her past life.

Nan Shu wasn't good at describing things, but she liked the atmosphere, so she unconsciously added some things to it.

For example, during the Lunar New Year at the orphanage, the director would carefully prepare New Year's gifts for each child. She would put a note inside the dumplings she made, and the child who drew the note would not only receive New Year's blessings, but would also be very lucky to receive a set of winter vacation workbooks.

Nan Shu recalled, trying to pick out some interesting things. When she was so tired from talking, she suddenly realized that those things she had thought were boring were actually quite interesting when she thought about them.

"So this is what Xiaoshu's life was like before..."

"Hmm..." Nan Shu felt a little sleepy, so she curled up a bit, rested her head on the pillow, and looked at him sideways. "What about you?"

If Li Feng were here right now, he would definitely widen his eyes and try to find a way to interfere between the two. If the scene just now could be considered warm and cozy, the two of them now... are just too ambiguous.

Xu Yunli took off his glasses, his fox-like eyes quietly gazing at Nan Shu. Knowing that Nan Shu might be curious about his acquaintance with Ali, he tried to pick out some interesting stories to tell. The man's warm voice made Nan Shu even more drowsy. At first, she might chuckle softly at the funny parts, but later, her eyelids could no longer stay open, and she fell into a deep sleep.

"...and we became good friends later."

Xu Yunli paused, tilted his head to look at the girl's sleeping face, and unconsciously raised his hand to gently brush the strands of hair on her cheek aside.

……

"Don't worry, Captain Nan, Xiao Nan is really fine. She just accidentally drank a little last night and slept soundly, so she didn't hear your call. Don't believe me? I'm right outside Xiao Nan's room right now..."

Li Feng patted his chest and gave a guarantee, then turned the camera to the door of the room and knocked twice.

After knocking twice, faint footsteps came from inside the room.

"Nan, you see, I told you, Xiao Nan, she..."

With a 'click', the door to the room was opened from the inside, and Li Feng's smile froze when he saw the person inside.

Nan Punian's furious roar came through the earphones: "Xu Yunli, what the hell are you doing in Xiaoshu's room?"

Li Feng hissed and quickly switched modes.

This forces Xu Yunli to confront the anger of the South team.

He shoved the phone into Xu Yunli's hand, who was only wearing pajamas, and slipped into the room.

How could he explain this?

No, if Forensic Doctor Xu is in the room, then he is in the room. Why are you wearing pajamas?

Xu Yunli took the phone, glanced at Nan Punian, whose face was as dark as ink, and said as if he wanted to die sooner, "Nian, keep your voice down, Xiaoshu is still sleeping, don't wake her up."

Nan Punian: ? ? ?

Li Feng: ...

Li Feng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He looked at Xu Yunli strangely. How come he never noticed before that the forensic doctor Xu was so good at stirring up trouble?

Enter the room.

Li Feng quickly glanced at the sofa and saw that someone had obviously slept on it all night. Xu Yunli's shirt was draped over the back of the chair, wrinkled and with a large patch of clear water on it. He must have accidentally spilled water on it and, having no other clothes to change into, had changed into his pajamas.

Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it was all a misunderstanding.

Just as he was about to explain to his own South team, he heard a voice full of doubt:

"Huh? Forensic Doctor Xu, Brother Li, what are you doing in my room?"

Nan Shu sat up, clutching the blanket, her hair a little frizzy. She looked at the two of them with a bewildered expression, her almond-shaped eyes filled with genuine confusion.

Hearing his younger sister's words, Nan Punian became even more convinced that Xu Yunli had taken advantage of his sister's drunkenness to sneak into her room, intending to force her into marriage and gain a formal status.

Nan Punian immediately made a harsh statement.

"Xu Yunli, you just wait."

Li Feng: "Hey? No, Captain Nan, let me explain... ah, no, I mean, it's really not what you think..."

Xu Yunli glanced at his phone, then looked at Li Feng, who was stumbling and crawling towards him, and handed him the phone.

"Bye."

Li Feng: ...

Li Feng's hands trembled as he took the phone, and his voice trembled as he looked at Xu Yunli, who remained calm.

"Forensic Doctor Xu, Team Leader Nan seems angry."

Xu Yunli: "Oh."

He didn't seem to care about that, or rather, he had something else he cared about more.

Xu Yunli turned his head to look at Nan Shu.

"Xiao Shu, do you remember what we talked about yesterday?" (End of Chapter)
