Chapter 66 Sister, you're such a kind person!

"To be honest, at the time I thought they were exaggerating, or it was just a coincidence. Even today..."

Zhao Liyue's gaze returned to Su Xiaonuan's face, her expression one of undisguised disbelief: "That masked man, blending into the group of dozens of people, looked completely ordinary. I've received professional training, and I didn't notice anything unusual at first. But you just 'felt something was off about him,' 'saw his hands trembling,' and 'his sleeve was a little red'? And then you so 'coincidentally' alerted me? And following your warning, I actually found bloodstains and a murder weapon on him?"

She leaned slightly closer to Su Xiaonuan, a sense of oppression quietly spreading: "What's even more coincidental is that as soon as you said you had a stomachache and ran away, you immediately and accurately found this victim? And your hemostasis technique was so professional and efficient? Su Xiaonuan, tell me, is this really just... intuition?"

Su Xiaonuan's heart skipped a beat at the question, and she subconsciously lowered her eyelids, her long, thick eyelashes fluttering like small fans, concealing the fleeting guilt in her eyes.

She stretched out her fingers, still damp from washing, and scratched her slightly messy, naturally curly hair with a sheepish expression. She forced a naive yet slightly bewildered smile, her voice soft and sweet:

"Sister Yue... I really don't know. Maybe I was just... lucky? Or maybe, as someone who sets up a stall, I see a lot of people every day and have sharp eyes? I was so scared, my hands are still shaking a little..." As she spoke, she gently shook her hands, looking pitiful with lingering fear.

Playing dumb and acting cute is currently her most skilled and effective strategy for dealing with police questioning.

Zhao Liyue stared at her for a full ten seconds, her eyes, which seemed to see right through people, swirling with a mix of emotions—doubt, curiosity, and even a hint of frustration.

In the end, she only sighed almost inaudibly, straightened up, and her imposing aura subsided considerably.

"Never mind." She waved her hand, her tone losing its usual coldness, but it seemed to carry something else, like... a tacit compromise. "Everyone has their own secrets. As long as your 'intuition' and 'luck' are used for good and do not endanger social order or the safety of others, I will not pry."

She paused, then added, her tone tinged with a concern she herself didn't realize: "However, next time you encounter a dangerous situation like this, don't rush forward on your own. Call me immediately, or call the police. You're an ordinary person; protecting yourself is your top priority, understand?"

Su Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this hurdle was temporarily over.

She nodded vigorously, her face showing an extremely obedient expression: "Yes, yes! I know, Sister Yue! I'll definitely call you first next time!"

After composing themselves, the two walked out of the aquarium one after the other.

The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, and the noisy voices of people flooded back into my ears, as if the thrilling scene in the toilet just now was just an illusion.

Back at her silver-white stall, Su Xiaonuan was preparing to pack up and close the shop. The criminal had been caught, and today's "Rufu Omelette Rice" mission had been exceeded. The 650 merit points had been successfully credited to her account, and she had even spent some extra merit points to save someone. She needed to go back and make some plans.

Just then, a clear yet slightly timid voice rang out from the side:

"Um...excuse me, boss lady...do you still have omelet rice?"

Su Xiaonuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a very fashionable girl standing in front of the stall.

She wore a black face mask with a cartoon pattern, revealing only a pair of large, bright eyes with delicate, sparkling eye makeup. They blinked and looked exceptionally lively.

Her hair was tied up in high pigtails and dyed a trendy gray-pink. She wore an oversized trendy sweatshirt and skirt, with platform boots on her feet, making her look both sweet and cool.

The girl's eyes were like those of a kitten begging for food, filled with obvious longing and a hint of trepidation at being rejected, staring intently at Su Xiaonuan... and the pots and pans on the stall that seemed to still retain a faint aroma.

Su Xiaonuan had already planned to call it a day, as she was quite exhausted both physically and mentally after what had just happened.

But when she was looked at by those innocent and pleading eyes, her heart, which had softened because of saving people, wavered again.

The girl's eyes inexplicably reminded her of the stray cats that cautiously approached her on the roadside, wanting a bite of food, making it hard for her to harden her heart and refuse them.

"Uh... we've sold out of today's portions," Su Xiaonuan said apologetically.

The girl's eyes instantly dimmed, her long eyelashes drooped, and even her ponytail seemed to droop a little. She exuded a strong sense of disappointment and murmured softly, "Ah... I see... I smelled the fragrance from far away and ran here..."

Seeing her like this, Su Xiaonuan's heart softened, and she blurted out, "But... it seems there are still enough ingredients to make one more! Wait a minute, let me make one for you! Consider it... the last special edition for today!"

She thought that since it wouldn't make a difference to put in this extra effort, she might as well do a good deed for the day, soothe her frightened heart, and also satisfy this eager "little kitten."

The girl's eyes lit up instantly, as if filled with stars, filled with surprise and delight: "Really? Thank you, boss lady! You're so kind!"

Su Xiaonuan smiled, put her apron back on, washed her hands, and deftly started cooking.

Despite being physically and mentally exhausted, her movements remained steady and precise once she stood in front of the stove.

The process of heating the pan, frying rice, making egg crepes, wrapping, and cutting open is repeated, and the enticing aroma once again fills the air.

This time, Su Xiaonuan put extra care into it, as if she wanted to pour all the tension and stress she had just experienced into the food, transforming it into warmth and healing.

When the golden, tempting omelet rice, with its runny egg yolk, was ready and placed in an elegant lunchbox, the girl couldn't help but stomp her feet slightly beside it, her eyes practically overflowing with anticipation.

Su Xiaonuan handed her the omelet rice, and the girl quickly took it with both hands, as if she were holding some kind of treasure.

She took out her phone to scan the QR code to pay, but Su Xiaonuan waved her hand and gave her a gentle smile: "No need, this is a gift for you. It's fate that you came all this way."

The girl was stunned, then her eyes seemed to redden slightly, and she became even more grateful, saying, "Sister! You're so kind! Thank you! Thank you so much!" Overwhelmed with emotion, she offered, "Sister, can we add each other on WeChat? Your cooking is so delicious! I want to eat it again!"

Looking into the girl's sincere eyes, Su Xiaonuan thought for a moment and decided that having more foodie friends wouldn't be a bad thing. So she smiled, took out her phone, and exchanged contact information with the girl.
