"The patient is awake!"

"team leader?"

…

Qi Ye slowly opened his eyes. Perhaps because he had been unconscious for too long, the clean ceiling of the hospital was so white that it was dazzling in his eyes, and for a moment he saw double.

"team leader?"

Someone called him again.

Qi also turned his head and blinked twice. He finally adapted to the light in the ward and could barely recognize the face of the person wearing the mask.

He opened his mouth and said dryly, "Xiao Sun."

"That's great. You scared me to death just now. I thought you didn't recognize me."

The doctor then rushed to the ward after hearing the news. After checking that all the indicators were normal, he was transferred to the general ward the next day.

In the general ward.

Xiao Sun was peeling an apple. "I just called Sister Xin and the others. They should be here soon."

Qi Ye leaned against the headboard of the bed, "Yeah, by the way, I haven't had time to ask you yet, how is the case going?"

"It's over, don't worry. But you were in a coma for so many days. The doctor said that you should have woken up a long time ago. We were all scared."

Qi was silent for a while. He didn't know why he always felt that this was his own problem.

At this moment, Xiao Sun suddenly paused while peeling the apple. "Captain, there's actually one more thing they won't let me tell you, but... I think you should know."

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Sun looked at him.

"Aunt Zhao...she might also be..."

"Xiao Sun!" Jiang Xin, who had just reached the door, suddenly yelled.

Xiao Sun immediately stood up and faced the door, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Jiang Xin was followed by a large group of people, all of whom were members of the team who had come to watch.

After being reminded by a nurse who happened to pass by, her intimidating aura was slightly reduced, and she was squeezed into the ward by the crowd while apologizing.

Qi also looked over indifferently.

I saw those people coming over.

"Captain, are you feeling better? When can you be discharged from the hospital?"

"Captain, you're finally awake. The team can't do without you."

"Look what we brought you."

Everyone was talking at once, and in tacit understanding, they pushed Xiao Sun to the back.

But Qi ignored them and stared at Jiang Xin intently.

Jiang Xin seemed unable to meet his gaze, unable to avoid it, so she could only take the initiative to speak: "Qi Ye..."

"Shouldn't you tell me the truth?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ward fell silent.

…

In mid-October, after several consecutive rains in ×× City, the temperature dropped to the point where even wearing a sweatshirt would make you feel cold.

Many breakfast shops have opened around that bun shop. It stands quietly among them and has become a color in memory. No one will stop for it anymore. Only the withered yellow leaves are helplessly swept away by the wind.

After the last case was concluded, Qi Ye and his team had a rare three-day holiday.

Today is the first day.

The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the table in the cafe, casting a faint halo of light. Qi Ye lightly touched the rim of the warm cup with his fingertips, staring at the locked shop door across the street in a daze.

He picked up the phone until it rang.

"Hello."

"Captain, Deputy Director Gao said he's assigned a new member to our team, transferred from another city, and asked you to go meet him. He couldn't get through to you, so he asked me to tell you."

"knew."

"Oh, and Sister Xin asked if we could meet tonight if she's free. From what she said, she seems to want to apologize to you."

"Need not."

"Oh——" The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time.

"Anything else?"

"Uh... no more."

Qi also hung up the phone, and the phone screen slid down, and there was indeed a missed call.

He put the screen-off button of his phone aside, thought for a moment, then picked up his phone again, stood up and left his seat, leaving behind the half-sip of coffee.

The taxi stopped in front of the Municipal Bureau and sped away after Qi got out.

Qi also looked down at the time. It had to be said that it was not a pleasant thing to see his workplace during the holidays.

But there is no other way, I can only come and meet him myself first so that I can better introduce him to other colleagues.

With a "heavy" heart, Qi Ye stepped into the Municipal Bureau.

Deputy Director's Office.

As Qi Ye approached the door, he heard the deputy director's voice inside. Although he couldn't hear what was said exactly, he thought he was explaining something to this new colleague.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Qi Ye pressed the door handle, and as soon as he entered, he was attracted by the uniformed man standing in front of the deputy director.

The man had a tall and slender figure. To use a metaphor that Qi Ye thought was very appropriate, he looked like a clothes rack.

He subconsciously looked him up and down several times.

The side profile...is also quite nice.

"Qi Ye, this is the new colleague I told you about being transferred to your team."

Qi came back to his senses and nodded, only to see that the man also turned around.

The moment the two looked at each other, Qi was stunned for a moment. His heart seemed to be hit by something, and his breathing slowed down unconsciously.

He is indeed an almost perfect person.

But what's with this familiar feeling...

Qi Ye relaxed, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Qi Ye."

The man smiled slightly and shook his hand. "Captain Qi, I've heard a lot about you. My name is Yan Yu."

Perhaps it was because he had been exposed to the cold wind outside for too long, but Qi actually felt a little comfortable when held by such a warm hand.

Qi also felt that he was being too extreme, so he relaxed a little.

But I didn't expect that Yan Yu had no intention of letting go at all.

The two shook hands for more than ten seconds. Even Deputy Director Gao, who was standing beside them, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally said jokingly, "It seems that you two are quite destined to be together."

After saying this, Yan Yu slowly let go of his hand.

Qi also pulled his hand back, and his fingertips accidentally brushed across Yan Yu's palm. Then, in a place where they couldn't see, Yan Yu tapped his palm with his ring finger.

At this time, Deputy Director Gao said, "Since you all know each other, let Qi Ye take you on a tour of the police station so that you can familiarize yourself with the working environment in advance and have a preliminary understanding of your responsibilities."

Yan Yu nodded happily.

Qi also coughed lightly, "Then follow me."

Inside the Municipal Bureau, two people were walking one in front and one behind.

Qi also introduced them to him one by one, but Yan Yu at the back just stared at him, obviously not hearing a word he said.

"Do you understand this?"

Only these five words, unprecedentedly breaking through the thousands of barriers and floating into Yan Yu's ears, might be his brain trying to save him.

Yan Yu quickly replied, "I understand."

Qi also looked back. He always felt that the way this person looked at him was a little strange, but it was not malicious, and he couldn't tell what emotion it was.

"That's about it. I'll fill you in on the remaining details later. It's getting late, so I'll treat you to a meal."

"ah?"

"Why this reaction? Do you have a date?"

"No, no."

"Then let's go."

"Team Qi."

Qi also turned to look at him.

Yan Yu asked, "Can I have your contact information?"

So that's what happened. Seeing that he looked a little nervous, Qi Ye thought something had happened.

Qi also took out his mobile phone and showed him a QR code.

After Yan Yu finished scanning, he stared at the note column without moving. It was not until Qi had walked away that he mustered up the courage to type two words:

baby.
