Responding to calls in the middle of the night, the Metropolitan Police Department's employees must have it tough.

He yawned and walked to the balcony, wondering where things had gone wrong again. Suddenly, his eyes met those of a figure holding a child's hand in the garden downstairs.

Qingze froze, his body instinctively darting into the house and slamming the balcony door shut.

"Huh? Did something just flash by on that balcony over there?" Xiao Wu, whose eyes were still red, scratched his head in confusion. How could a person be that fast?

They came out unhurriedly, but went in in a flash.

Ran Mouri shook her head helplessly, "It's probably a ghost..."

Honestly, he's actually avoiding her.

What a childish thing to do!

Sometimes she's incredibly mature, but other times she's incredibly childish.

Instead of trying to solve problems, they just try to avoid them.

What good will hiding do? It won't solve any problems.

Xiao Wu glanced at Ran Mouri and asked the butler who had brought them in.

Is anyone staying in that room?

"That's the gentleman who saved Miss Mina. He didn't want to stay overnight, but Miss Mina insisted he stay."

Ran Mouri's lips curled up slightly.

She's all talk and no action.

"He's still awake! I haven't properly thanked him yet!" Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly, as if his earlier sadness had been completely forgotten.

"Would it be convenient for you to take us there?" Ran Mouri asked the butler.

The butler nodded.

"OK."

Since the guest is still awake, it won't hurt to disturb him.

Qingze leaned against the door, feeling that his reaction was a bit inexplicable.

Why is he avoiding Ran Mouri?

I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out the reason.

Is it because of a guilty conscience?

Feeling guilty for getting inexplicably angry that day?

Impossible, he has no guilty conscience.

He wasn't angry for no reason.

Ran Mouri's risky behavior for a little kid, who wouldn't be angry?

So, he's not wrong, Ran Mouri is!

Qingze logically reassured himself, but his feet were still itching to run away.

But before he could decide whether to run or not, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, someone wants to see you. May I bother you for a moment?"

Qingze stood frozen in place.

Is it too late to run now?

Seeing that there was still no response from inside, the butler asked again uncertainly, "Sir?"

Quiet, still quiet.

The people inside acted as if they hadn't heard anything and didn't respond at all.

Ran Mouri couldn't hide her disappointment.

Even though there's only a door between them, does Mr. Qingze really not want to see her?

The butler looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Sir should be resting now. Let's come back tomorrow."

"Okay." Xiao Wu looked at Ran Mouri, nodded, and turned to leave.

Just then, light shone through the crack in the door, and the door was opened.

Qingze's hair was disheveled, and he had a cold look on his face, as if he had just woken up.

He didn't even look at Ran Mouri, glanced at the child, and then fixed his gaze on the butler.

"what's up?"

"It's like this, the child saw that you were still awake and wanted to thank you."

"I slept."

Qingze corrected him, glancing at Ran Mouri out of the corner of his eye.

The butler didn't quite understand Qingze's meaning, but still changed his tune, "Sorry to disturb your sleep."

Xiao Wu looked up at him, bowed deeply, and thanked him sincerely.

"Big brother, thank you for saving me."

Qingze remained indifferent, as if it were none of his business. "It's none of my concern. You climbed up here yourselves."

What are you trying to save? He didn't save anyone.

Is he the kind of person who would save lives?

Ran Mouri wanted to facepalm.

What's wrong with Mr. Qingze?

She did it herself, and got herself all wet, yet now she's trying so hard to distance herself from it.

So you just don't want to admit you're a good person?

"Butler, could you please take Xiao Wu aside for a moment? I'd like to speak with this gentleman for a few minutes."

Xiao Wu tilted his head to look at her, then pulled the housekeeper away.

It seems like the older sister and the older brother know each other, and they're having a fight.

"What's there to say? What's there to say?" Qingze leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, looking at the door and the ceiling, but not at her.

Ran Mouri reached out and grabbed his hem. "Mr. Aozawa, don't avoid me."

Qingze glanced at her, then turned his head away.

"Who's avoiding you? Don't be delusional."

Ran Mouri couldn't help but laugh at his stubborn denial.

They're clearly hiding; who are they trying to fool?

"Then Mr. Qingze, please remove me from the blacklist."

Qingze twisted his head even more violently.

"Do not."

Ran Mouri grabbed his clothes and shook them, acting cute:

Please, please...

"You're annoying."

Mao Lilan: (▼ヘ▼)

I saw the corners of your mouth turn up; you two-faced jerk!

"Mr. Qingze is a very generous person, he won't stay angry with me forever, right?"

Qingze remained unmoved.

He got angry, so what?

Seeing that Qingze was still humming, Ran Mouri had no choice but to continue to coax him.

"Mr. Qingze, who is wise, brave, skilled, resourceful, handsome, and magnanimous, please, please remove me from your blacklist..."

Qingze's lips curled up even more. He tried to suppress the upturned curve, pulled his clothes out of her hands, and looked at her coldly with his head held high.

Why should I release you?

Ran Mouri placed her hands obediently on her lower abdomen, her eyes crinkling into crescents.

"Because I want to apologize to Mr. Qingze."

Qingze glanced at her, somewhat taken aback by her smile, and his mouth responded before his brain could process it.

"Alright then, I'll reluctantly release you."

Chapter 100 He mustn't hear these words.

The door was closed, and Qingze could no longer control the smile on his face.

He picked up his phone and unblocked Ran Mouri from his blacklist.

Don't expect him to forgive her until you receive a formal apology!

Separated by a door, Ran Mouri couldn't see what was inside, but she knew he wasn't completely calm.

She sighed inwardly.

It's rare for someone to stay angry for this long.

He's strangely vengeful.

However, being removed from the blacklist is a good thing, as we can finally contact him again.

Walking down to the lobby, Xiao Wu sat alone on the living room sofa.

His friend Mina had already gone to sleep. Mina's mother was awakened by the police sirens and was standing at the front door, asking the housekeeper about the situation.

"Did you and that older brother finish your talk, sister?"

Ran Mouri nodded and patted his head. "Xiaowu, you have to keep my sister and that brother's affair a secret for me."

"Is that your romantic partner?" Xiao Wu suddenly asked.

"what?"

Ran Mouri was caught off guard, and her eyes instantly turned into beady eyes.

Why would this child have such a misunderstanding?

“I saw you were also acting in the film crew. You’re a celebrity, and I know that celebrities have to hide their relationships.”

Xiao Wu spoke to himself, his logic both self-consistent and reasonable.

"And I also discovered that the older brother is angry with you."

"how do you know?"

Ran Mouri felt that this child was a bit too smart; how could he be so sensitive to emotions?

Before that, she had never spoken to Qingze, and Qingze acted as if he didn't know her.

Xiao Wu looked at him as if he had seen through everything, saying, "He looked at me, he looked at the butler, but he didn't look at you."

Moreover, when she was on the balcony, she clearly came out, but when she saw Sister Lan, she quickly hid back inside.

How could I not recognize this reaction?

"You're amazing! He really is angry with me. If I hadn't found him here today, I wouldn't have been able to find him at all."

Ran Mouri sat down next to him, also curious about what had happened that afternoon.

"How did you fall into the water? How did he save you? Can you tell me?"

“I was squatting by the lake with Mina and her grandma watching ants move their nest. My legs got a little numb from squatting, and when I tried to stand up, I felt a little dizzy. Instinctively, I tried to grab Mina and her grandma, but I lost my balance and we both fell into the lake…”

Xiao Wu sounded a little embarrassed, admitting that falling down was indeed his fault.
