Xu Man, while interning at the Criminal Investigation Unit, had only one thing on her mind: to quickly complete her internship and graduate smoothly.
Unexpectedly, one day, she was pushed aga...
Zhao Jia sat up straight and asked with great interest: "Is there anyone else who likes Captain Qin? Who?"
"Who else could it be?" Li Shijie answered vaguely while chewing his food. "It could be our forensic doctor Guan Da."
Guan Shuiyun.
She really likes Qin Shen.
What about Qin Shen? How do you feel about her?
Xu Man's heart tightened in an instant, but Zhao Jia seemed to have lost interest. He snorted and lazily leaned back on the table with his elbows propped up. "I thought you were going to reveal something. Everyone knows that she likes Captain Qin. Do you need to tell me?"
"What what what?" Li Shijie said "what" several times in a row, "You all know?"
Zhao Jia rolled her eyes in disdain, looking bored: "She knew it eight hundred years ago. Oh, except for the new girl, but she knows it now too."
The new girl Xu Man she mentioned was sitting upright on a chair, looking at the food in front of her emitting bursts of heat and fragrance, but she had no appetite at all, and her mind was full of thoughts about Qin Shen and Guan Shuiyun.
It turns out that Guan Shuiyun really likes Qin Shen, so the subtle hostility he felt from her was not an illusion.
What about Qin Shen? What kind of feelings do you have towards her?
The wise and brave criminal police captain and the smart and beautiful female forensic doctor really seem to be a perfect match.
Xu Man felt a churning in her stomach. She put down her chopsticks, looked up at the two people opposite her, and forced a smile: "How could Forensic Doctor Guan... fall in love with Captain Qin?"
Zhao Jia looked at her with a look full of teasing and understanding. Just as she was about to speak, Li Shijie waved his chopsticks in the air and pointed four times, answering her question with clear and powerful pronunciation: "Heroic, heroic, rescue, beautiful!"
A hero saves the beauty?
Xu Man was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant.
A hero saving a beautiful girl, is that what she meant?
"Captain Qin, did he save the life of the forensic doctor?"
Li Shijie nodded with a teachable look on his face: "That's right."
"……when?"
Xu Man felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that there was such a past between them. The hero saved the beauty. It sounded romantic just by listening to it.
"It was a stormy night—"
Li Shijie lowered his voice and spoke in a tone like reciting poetry. He had only finished half of the sentence when Zhao Jia interrupted him with a chopstick, "Go, stop talking nonsense. What kind of hero saves the beauty? She just made trouble for no reason. If Captain Qin hadn't arrived just in time, she would have fallen into the hands of the murderer. You still have the nerve to say you're a hero saving the beauty."
"Isn't that still a hero saving a beautiful woman?"
"What kind of heroic act is that?"
The two people started arguing, and Xu Man was confused. She didn't have time to be sad, so she quickly changed the subject: "What happened? How is it related to the murderer? Did it happen during the investigation?"
Li Shijie: “Yes.”
Zhao Jia: “No.”
Xu Man: “…”
Why does a simple story of a hero saving a beautiful girl have two different versions? Is the process here complicated?
"I'm so annoyed. Shut up and listen to me." Zhao Jia waved her hand impatiently, threateningly signaling Li Shijie to shut up and not speak. After the other party raised his hands in surrender, he said to Xu Man, "In the case last October, a university teacher was found dead in a grove on campus. It happened that Teacher Dong was in poor health and took a half-month leave. Sun Lang didn't come either, so Guan Shuiyun was asked to do the autopsy on the scene alone. There was nothing special about the case. It was just that when she was examining the body, she left something in the woods. She didn't find it until she returned to the detachment at night, so she went back to the school alone to get it. It happened that the murderer returned to the scene to check the situation, and the two of them played the forest horror in the middle of the night. Later, Captain Qin rushed over with his men, rescued her, and subdued the murderer, arrested him on the spot, and solved the case."
"This happened at my alma mater." Li Shijie added, "Can you imagine? I just graduated last year and joined the detachment as a police officer. The first case I encountered was this. The counselor was in disbelief when he saw my expression. After the murderer was caught, he repeatedly warned me not to tell the media about this. In fact, he was overthinking it. I was just a small fry. How could I have the power to hold a press conference?"
Xu Man's attention was briefly diverted by his words for a few seconds, but she soon returned to Qin Shen's heroic act of saving Guan Shuiyun: "So forensic doctor Guan fell in love with Captain Qin because he saved her?"
Zhao Jia blinked, thought for a while and said, "She didn't say or admit that she liked Captain Qin, but we all guessed it. It's normal to think about it. In the middle of the night, you are playing a chase game in the woods with a vicious murderer. If you are not careful, you may be caught and killed. Suddenly, someone came down from the sky to save you. He is a brave and handsome guy. It would be strange if you don't like him."
Xu Man smiled reluctantly, "Yes. It's normal."
After such an experience, it is normal for Guan Shuiyun to fall in love with Qin Shen. I just don’t know what kind of mark this incident has left in Qin Shen’s heart, and whether it will also produce a special feeling.
"But this is just her wishful thinking." Seeing her like this, Zhao Jia added, "Captain Qin has absolutely no intention towards her in that regard. It has been almost half a year since October last year, and the relationship between the two is not that close. It is just that of ordinary colleagues."
"Really?" Xu Man smiled softly and said slowly, "When I first came, I saw them talking very intimately when they were on the scene, and I thought they were a couple."
Li Shijie sighed exaggeratedly: "The goddess has a dream, but the king has no intention. The two of them seem to be closer than ordinary people, but it is mostly because of the beautiful Guan. She is usually cold and indifferent to everyone, either ignoring them or speaking venomously to them, but she smiles to Brother Qin and likes to approach him to talk, which makes her look a little interesting."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Man and smiled, emphasizing, "But don't worry, Junior Sister. This is just the personal wish of the forensic doctor Guan. It has nothing to do with Brother Qin. Brother Qin treated her honestly and without falsehood."
Xu Man was stunned and her face felt a little hot. She subconsciously wanted to reply, "Why are you telling me this?", but she felt that it was a bit hypocritical and too artificial, so she shut her mouth and said nothing. Fortunately, Zhao Jia took over Li Shijie's words at this time and did not let the atmosphere become cold.
"Come on, aren't you the one who should feel most relieved? Captain Qin has no such intention towards Guan Shuiyun, so it's convenient for you to pursue her, right? You were very aggressive towards her at the beginning, why are you so weak recently?"
Li Shijie snorted and made a disdainful expression: "It happened so long ago, and you still bring it up. I don't like her anymore."
Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Do you dislike her, or does she never like you? You gave up because you saw that the hope of catching her was slim?"
Li Shijie coughed twice and choked on his own saliva: "Don't mention it, don't mention it, give me some face. I'm not the only one who failed in pursuit. Didn't Guan Shuiyun also fail to pursue Brother Qin? How can such a sad thing be brought up for ridicule? It's tragic enough in itself, and I have to make fun of it."
Xu Man smiled slightly: "Not necessarily. Forensic Doctor Guan is so beautiful and capable, and she and Captain Qin have common topics. Maybe one day she will impress Captain Qin and the two of them will be together."
Li Shijie clicked his tongue twice and shook his head: "You guys are still naive and don't understand men."
He put down his chopsticks, put both arms on the table, and said, "If a man likes a woman, he will definitely fall in love with her very quickly, no more than a week at most, or even develop a liking for her at first sight, and the rest of the time is spent on enhancing the relationship. If a woman pursues a man for half a year and doesn't get a response from the man, then there is definitely no hope, even if you give her a few more years. Unless he is a scumbag, he will turn back when he sees that there is a woman waiting for him silently, but he is not sincere, he just wants to change his taste."
Zhao Jia squinted her eyes: "Are you men so bad?"
"No, didn't I say that? He's a scumbag, not a normal man." Li Shijie quickly distanced himself from the truth. "A man like Brother Qin, who has such great conditions and good character, would certainly not do such a thing. That's why I said that there's no chance for the beautiful Guan. Brother Qin is the type of person who would take the initiative towards the person he likes. He would never stand there and wait for a girl to chase him. He wouldn't do that."
Zhao Jia pretended to be enlightened and said "oh", then smiled and glanced at Xu Man and asked Li Shijie: "Do you think our Captain Qin has a girl he likes?"
Li Shijie opened his mouth to speak, but stopped. He glanced at Xu Man and hummed vaguely: "This matter... I am not too sure. If you really want to know, go ask Brother Qin himself."
Zhao Jia snorted, "If you don't want to tell us, just tell us. Who needs your little intelligence anymore?"
"Not interested? You don't care that you listened to me for so long just now?"
"Didn't you come here on your own?"
The two of them started a new round of bickering. Xu Man listened for a while, and seeing that their topic was getting further and further off, she stopped participating. She lowered her head, picked up her chopsticks again, and started eating quietly. She felt much calmer than before. Regardless of whether Li Shijie's words were true or false, they gave her some comfort and also told her a piece of news, that is, Qin Shen didn't have a girlfriend yet, and she had a chance.
Zhao Jia and Li Shijie seemed to be interested in arguing, and they kept arguing back and forth for a long time. Xu Man had finished her meal, but the other two had not even finished half of it. However, this was also related to her small appetite. She said something to the two of them, picked up her lunch tray, and walked towards the closing area.
Looking at her back, Li Shijie sighed: "It's so hard to find a pretty and approachable girl, what a pity, what a pity."
Zhao Jia was very disdainful of his pretentious attitude: "Why are you feeling sorry for her? If you like her, just go after her."
"Forget it." He curled his lips, "Who dares to snatch the girl that Brother Qin likes?"
