Chapter 38 Shen Xichuan: I want to watch it, I will go home and watch it slowly

Shen Xichuan glanced at her indifferently.

Xu Jialan didn't dare to meet his gaze, his eyes slightly lowered.

During the rush hour, the road is always congested.

There is a traffic light ahead, and it just turned red.

Shen Xichuan slowly stepped on the brakes.

"What would you like to eat tonight?" he asked.

Xu Jialan glanced at him and pursed his lips, "Porridge?"

"good."

Shen Xichuan responded, then raised his hand and entered an address on the navigation.

This is a good private restaurant recommended by Chen Yankai before, and the porridge cooked by the chef in the restaurant is also good.

He tried it once.

The sound of navigation sounded in the car.

Xu Jialan was puzzled and asked subconsciously, "Aren't we eating at home?"

Shen Xichuan tilted his head to look at her, his eyes slightly raised, “If we go back at this time, it will be very late when the porridge is cooked. Let’s eat outside today.”

She even forgot to take her medicine, and probably didn't even eat.

At noon, he also sent a message, but she never replied.

Xu Jialan said "oh".

The man chuckled softly, "Next time you want to eat at home, tell me in advance so I can prepare it in advance."

The tone sounded somewhat doting.

Xu Jialan opened his mouth, "..."

That's not what she meant.

Hmm... okay, that seems to be what I mean.

…

That private restaurant is not far from the laboratory.

Including the traffic jam, it took about twenty minutes to get there.

The waiter obviously knew Shen Xichuan.

When he saw him, he greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Shen."

Shen Xichuan nodded, “Prepare a box.”

"Okay, this way please."

The waiter glanced at Xu Jialan with a hint of curiosity, but didn't dare to look any further, so he looked away.

Come to the box.

Shen Xichuan pulled out a chair.

Xu Jialan glanced at him and curled his lips, "Thank you."

Shen Xichuan sat down next to her.

This time he didn't give the menu to Xu Jialan.

Instead, he directly ordered the waiter, "Two servings of signature clay pot porridge and two side dishes, no spicy food, thank you."

Xu Jialan looked at him and asked, "You don't want any spicy food?"

She remembered that he loved spicy food.

The man looked at her helplessly, "Are you not greedy just watching me eat?"

Xu Jialan pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer this question.

In fact, she really can't.

Shen Xichuan turned his eyes to look at the waiter, “That’s all.”

"Okay, Mr. Shen, please wait a moment."

The waiter left the box with the menu.

After a while, two servings of casserole porridge and two light side dishes were served.

There really wasn't any chili at all.

Xu Jialan picked up the spoon and stirred it. The porridge was cooked in a casserole and it smelled delicious just by smelling it.

She tasted it and it was the flavor she liked.

Xu Jialan paused and looked at the man beside him.

Shen Xichuan picked up the serving chopsticks, put some side dishes in her bowl, and then drank the porridge as light as hers with a calm expression.

Maybe it was a little hot, so he didn't eat very fast, and every move he made showed his dignity.

Xu Jialan's gaze stayed on him for a few more seconds.

Shen Xichuan noticed it, curled his lips, and whispered, “Is it so beautiful?”

As he spoke, he slowly raised his head to look at her.

Xu Jialan's eyes flashed with panic, and he looked away, "Huh? What did you say?"

"Lanlan." He suddenly shouted.

"Um?"

When Xu Jialan looked up, he met the man's smiling eyes.

"Drink your porridge obediently," he said.

Xu Jialan: "..."

She silently looked away and lowered her head to drink her porridge.

Shen Xichuan suddenly said again, “If you want to see it, go home and watch it slowly.”

Xu Jialan: "..."

She's not, she doesn't.

…

After the two finished drinking the porridge, they returned to Xinghu Bay.

On the way back, Xu Jialan received a call.

It must have been someone from the laboratory who called her.

Shen Xichuan vaguely heard that it seemed to be related to work.

He didn't really listen carefully.

So as soon as Xu Jialan got home and changed into slippers, he took the computer from Shen Xichuan and walked quickly into the study.

Shen Xichuan stood at the entrance, watching her back disappear into the study, and paused for a few seconds.

In the study.

Xu Jialan turned on the computer, logged into his mailbox, and opened it. There were several unread emails in it.

She clicked on the first one directly.

This is the latest test report.

She looked at it quickly, put on the headphones with her other hand, and made a phone call.

The call was picked up quickly.

"I've read the report. This evidence will be tested again tomorrow for a second verification."

Xu Jialan looked at the screen and hummed, "The murderer might have used this towel to kill the victim, so there are two different forms of blood on the towel."

"There's a high probability that the murderer's fingerprints or sweat may be on the evidence."

"Tomorrow we will conduct tests on different areas of the evidence, hoping to find the murderer's DNA sample."

…

As soon as Shen Xichuan walked to the door of the study, he heard Xu Jialan’s voice coming from inside.

He suddenly stopped.

The tone of voice is familiar.

That was the tone she had used on the day they met again, before she recognized him.

Calm, clear, and steady.

This is what she looks like when she is working.

After talking for a few minutes, the phone was hung up.

Shen Xichuan walked to the door of the study with medicine and water in his hand and knocked lightly.

Without even raising his head, Xu Jialan spoke subconsciously, "Come in."

She thought it was in the laboratory.

Shen Xichuan walked in and put the cup down.

"Professor Xu, can you give me a minute?"

Xu Jialan looked up, "You..."

She saw the medicine in his hand and smiled faintly, "I almost forgot again."

The corners of Shen Xichuan’s lips curled up slightly, and he hummed, “So I brought it to you.”

He placed the water next to her hand, then divided the pills into several portions and handed them to her.

"Eat slowly, ok?"

Xu Jialan looked at the pill in his palm, paused, and reached out to take it.

After taking the medicine, Shen Xichuan took his hand back.

"Okay, keep busy, but don't be busy for too long."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jialan's computer beeped several times in succession.

Someone sent her a message.

"good."

When Xu Jialan saw that the message was sent by Captain Chen, he didn't care about him anymore. He responded casually, then put the half-drunk cup of water in his hand aside and quickly clicked on the message.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Shen Xichuan’s eyes.

He looked at her intently for a few seconds, then quietly left the study.

The sounds continued to come from the study.

Xu Jialan should have called someone else.

Also talking about work.

Shen Xichuan didn't listen at the door. After closing the door, he turned around and left.

When Xu Jialan finished her work, she casually glanced at the lower right corner.

It's already half past eleven at night.

The whole person was stunned.

Thinking of what Shen Xichuan said just now.

She quickly closed the computer and walked out of the study.

Damn it, it’s over!
