Roses in Flames

Back home, upon learning that Ye Yuhang had bullied Ye Mo, Ye Yuntang's cold and beautiful face instantly darkened.

"How dare he! I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Ye Mo quickly pulled Ye Yuntang aside and wrote down the whole story on his phone.

He also told Ye Yuntang that it was Xiao Lin who helped him, and had Ye Yuhang and the others bow ninety degrees to apologize.

"My brother said that if they bully me again, I can contact him, so I added him on WeChat."

Ye Yuntang's lips twitched.

Her brother easily added Xiao Lin on WeChat.

She had added him on WeChat and even knocked on his door in person, but he ignored her and acted extremely aloof and arrogant.

Forget it, considering he helped his younger brother, she won't hold it against him.

"Sister, brother is a really good person."

Ye Yuntang nodded silently.

Putting everything else aside, Xiao Lin is indeed a rare breath of fresh air.

The image of him in his police uniform unconsciously floated into my mind—so cold and dignified, so upright and awe-inspiring, his upbringing and values ​​were etched into his very bones.

Ye Yuntang suddenly realized that she had made a mistake; she shouldn't have flirted with such an upright man.

His kindness to Bai Chuwei proves that he is a man of deep affection.

What right did she have to ridicule and deny him?

Upon learning that Xiao Lin had helped Ye Mo, Song Xuan quickly said to Ye Yuntang, "Tangtang, didn't you say that Captain Xiao lives across from your rented apartment? Mom made dumplings today. When you go back later, take two boxes to Captain Xiao and ask him when he's free. I'd like to invite him over for a meal to express my gratitude."

Ye Yuntang said, "Mom, dumplings are enough. We'll invite him over for dinner, but he definitely won't come..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Mo suddenly handed over his phone.

He had just texted Xiao Lin, saying that his mother had invited him to their house for dinner, and Xiao Lin replied that he would come over next time he had time.

Ye Yuntang, "..."

What does he mean?

Doesn't he feel awkward coming to her house for dinner?

After having dinner at home that evening, Song Xuan packed the dumplings and urged Ye Yuntang to go home early.

"Remember to buy some more fruit for Captain Xiao."

Ye Yuntang frowned. "Mom, you kept talking about how good Captain Xiao was to my brother during dinner. I'm starting to doubt if I'm even your biological son."

"They are indeed very nice. You work in the same unit, so you should try to build a good relationship with them."

Ye Yuntang nodded, "Okay, okay, I understand."

After driving back to her rented apartment, Ye Yuntang put down her things and then carried dumplings and fruit to the apartment across the street.

After taking a deep breath, she rang the doorbell.

The doorbell rang for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

Ye Yuntang felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that seeing her standing outside made him not even want to open the door?

Ye Yuntang rang the doorbell again.

If he still doesn't open the door, she stops pressing the button.

She kept the dumplings her mother made for herself.

The doorbell rang for a long time. Just when Ye Yuntang thought no one would come to open the door and she was about to turn around and leave, the door was suddenly opened.

Ye Yuntang turned around and looked at the man who opened the door.

His face was slightly pale, and his hair was a bit messy.

He doesn't look well.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Yuntang asked.

Xiao Lin lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on the woman's slender, white legs clad in denim shorts.

Her legs were white and straight, with faint muscle definition in her calves, creating smooth and beautiful lines.

"What do you want?" he asked in a deep, cold voice.

Ye Yuntang waved the things he was carrying, "My mom found out you helped my brother today, so she specially asked me to bring you dumplings."

She wanted to hand him what she was holding.

He stepped aside, gesturing for her to go inside.

Ye Yuntang carried his things, took off his shoes, and walked into his apartment.

She put the dumplings in the refrigerator and the fruit on the table.

When I came out of the restaurant, I saw the man sitting on the sofa with his large hand against his stomach, looking listless.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yuntang walked towards him. "Is your stomach upset?"

Xiao Lin lowered his eyes, his gaze still fixed on her dazzlingly white legs.

He pursed his thin lips tightly. "It's nothing."

Do you have any stomach medicine at home?

The man's thin lips moved slightly. "No."

"I have some, please wait a moment."

This man is so careless; he doesn't even keep any commonly used medicines at home.

Those of them in this line of work often work overtime and stay up late, which is quite harmful to their health.

Ye Yuntang brought over her small medicine box, poured a glass of warm water, and walked up to the man.

"Take two pills."

She handed the medicine and a glass of water to the man.

Xiao Lin sat up slightly, took the medicine and water handed to him by Ye Yuntang, and swallowed it.

He tilted his head back slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with each swallow, exuding an indescribable sexiness.

After glancing at him for a few seconds, Ye Yuntang quickly looked away. She went into his room and brought out a thin blanket.

After handing him the blanket, she said, "I'm going back now."

She turned around, ready to leave, when suddenly her slender white wrist was grabbed by the man's large hand.

His palms were warm and strong.

When I touched her fair skin, it felt as if a tiny electric current was running through me.

Ye Yuntang's heart skipped a beat.

She looked at the man, whose eyes were half-closed, and she couldn't see the expression in his eyes.

She tried to pull her hand away, but the more she tried, the tighter the man gripped her wrist.

Her wrist was a little sore from his grip.

In the quiet air, the two seemed to be engaged in a silent standoff.

"Captain Xiao, what are you doing?"

My stomach is upset, yet my hand is still so strong.

Her skin was fair, and it flushed red as he held it so tightly.

He relaxed a little, but not completely.

"Xiao Lin, what exactly are you trying to do... ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was pulled forward by a force.

She unexpectedly fell into the man's arms, her fingers bracing against his chest.

He's still not feeling well, and she's afraid she might have hurt him.

What are you doing?

She tried to back out, but the man suddenly closed his legs, firmly trapping her feet.

Ye Yuntang's long, butterfly-wing-like eyelashes trembled violently.

Unable to move away, she could only lie on the man's chest and look at his face.

At the same time, he also looked down at her.

Their breaths intertwined.

They were all scalding hot.

His eyes were like the midnight sea, deep and unfathomable.

"Ye Yuntang".

He called her by her full name.

Every time he called her that, she felt as if she had committed some serious crime and was about to be interrogated by him.

She pursed her lips tightly. "You don't think that by bringing you dumplings and fruit, and getting you your medicine, I was trying to seduce you again, do you? I already said last night that I wouldn't—"

Before she could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest. "Is it fun to string me along?"

Ye Yuntang, "..."

Good heavens, she's been wronged!

She genuinely just brought something over today; she had no intention of hooking up with him at all!
