Chapter 44: I like drinking Coke so much

After listening to Captain Chen's words, Xu Jialan was silent for a moment.

She also studied psychology during college.

Especially the psychology of some criminals.

Captain Chen’s analysis is indeed valid.

"Professor Xu, I have sent people to the forensic side for protection, and I have also arranged a few people to go over to your side. You may have to work hard during this period of time." Captain Chen said.

Xu Jialan responded, "Don't worry, I understand."

"Okay, in that case, I won't bother you anymore."

Captain Chen is still busy looking for Qi Jinyou.

Xu Jialan nodded and hung up the phone.

Fang Zhiyun, who was recording data nearby, also heard the conversation between the two.

She frowned, a little worried, "Professor Xu, that suspect is so scary, why don't you go home and rest for a while?"

If you can’t beat them, can’t you just hide?

Xu Jialan picked up a test tube and chuckled, "What? Are you scared?"

Fang Zhiyun nodded, "How could I not be afraid?"

Xu Jialan picked up the dropper and dripped the solution into the test tube. "But our work is bound to be linked to danger. Are we just going to stop doing it because we're afraid?"

She glanced at Fang Zhiyun and put the test tube into the machine.

"I understand."

Fang Zhiyun paused, but couldn't help asking, "Professor Xu, then you... are you really not afraid?"

Xu Jialan watched the changes in the sample through his goggles.

"Sometimes being afraid is useless. The more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. It's better not to think about it at all. If it does happen, you can still think of a solution immediately."

After hearing this, Fang Zhiyun looked at Xu Jialan's profile and became more and more uneasy.

Sure enough, Professor Xu is still Professor Xu.

He remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

It is not something that mortals like them can compare to.

…

Time to get off work.

We had agreed to eat hotpot.

Shen Xichuan was worried that what was done outside was unhealthy.

It was Friday, so we decided to eat at home.

But they need to buy food to take home.

Shen Xichuan has been a little busy with training recently, and he can’t send Xu Jialan to work.

Therefore, Xu Jialan asked Shen Xichuan to go to the mall and wait, and not to come and pick her up.

She then went over.

Just a little more unexpected.

There will be a vehicle following behind with several police officers sitting inside.

They would follow her until she got home safely.

Xu Jialan hadn’t had time to tell Shen Xichuan about this matter yet, and planned to talk about it when they met later.

Shen Xichuan was closer to the mall, so he arrived first.

Xu Jialan arrived more than ten minutes later.

She panted slightly and walked up to him, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

Shen Xichuan stood up straight and was about to say something to her.

He glanced sharply at the people behind her.

Xu Jialan noticed his gaze and quickly explained it briefly.

The two walked into the mall.

Shen Xichuan’s brows were always knitted.

"So, the suspect in the case you're handling might be targeting you?"

Xu Jialan nodded and quickly comforted him, "But don't worry, Captain Chen has already sent people to protect me, I'll be fine."

Hearing this, Shen Xichuan looked at her helplessly, “You are the one being targeted, and you still have the mood to comfort me? Aren’t you afraid?”

Asked the same question as Fang Zhiyun.

However, the person in front of him was Shen Xichuan.

Xu Jialan licked his lips, thought for a moment, and then spoke seriously, "I'm scared."

How could anyone not be afraid?

But she has her responsibilities and cannot back down just because she is afraid.

And, more importantly, since her parents died, no one has ever asked her if she is afraid.

Mr. Liang and others also asked this question, but the questions were different.

Shen Xichuan stared at her for a while, raised his hand, and rubbed her head.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

His voice was so gentle that it could always soothe her inner fear and anxiety.

Xu Jialan had a faint smile on his face, "Yeah, I know."

…

The two went to the supermarket in the mall and bought all the ingredients for the hot pot.

Moreover, there are quite a few snacks from Galan.

They were all taken by Shen Xichuan.

He should have paid attention to the snack cabinet at home.

These were originally in the snack cabinet, but they were all eaten.

Of course, there is also the red can of Coke.

It was Xu Jialan who put it in.

Shen Xichuan looked at her, the corners of his lips curled up, and a gentle smile appeared in his deep eyes.

"You like Coke so much?"

Xu Jialan pretended to be calm and asked, "I like it, don't you like it?"

The man chuckled, "I quite like it."

Xu Jialan stood next to the shopping cart, listening to what he said behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

She said softly, "Yeah, I like it very much."

Maybe it was because the supermarket was a little noisy, Shen Xichuan didn’t hear what she said.

After buying something, it’s time to check out.

Shen Xichuan pushed the shopping cart to the cashier.

There were a lot of people, so he asked Xu Jialan to wait at the exit.

Xu Jialan looked at Shen Xichuan’s back as he paid the bill and chuckled inexplicably.

It feels so good.

Xu Jialan obediently went to the exit and waited.

Those plainclothes police officers were hiding among the passers-by.

She didn’t look around, her eyes always followed Shen Xichuan.

After a while.

The man came out carrying several large bags of things.

Xu Jialan hurriedly wanted to help carry it.

Shen Xichuan avoided her hand.

"It's heavy, you carry this."

He handed her a bag that was not very heavy.

It's filled with her snacks.

Xu Jialan looked at him and said, "Just one."

Shen Xichuan looked at her with a smile on his face, “Well, one is enough.”

“Let’s go, Mrs. Shen.”

It was inconvenient for him to hold her hand because he was carrying something in his hands.

There are quite a few people exiting here.

The two men carried the spoils they had just bought and came to the underground parking lot.

Shen Xichuan just put the things in the car.

Xu Jialan suddenly remembered something.

"etc."

The man looked over and lowered his eyes, "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to buy one more thing."

Xu Jialan found an excuse.

Shen Xichuan's eyebrows moved slightly, "There's something else? What? I'll go with you."

Xu Jialan quickly shook his head. This was a surprise prepared for him, so he couldn't be taken with him.

"I can go alone, it will be quick."

Shen Xichuan did not agree immediately.

Xu Jialan pursed his lips and tentatively reached out to tug at his sleeve.

Seeing that he didn't shake it off, I shook it.

"Aren't they here? It's safe."

She looked at the man in front of her and blinked.

Shen Xichuan raised his hand and pressed his solar plexus, a look of helplessness and indulgence flashed across his eyes.

"Okay, go ahead."

He agreed.

Xu Jialan smiled.

When Shen Xichuan saw her smile, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Remember, come back early after shopping."

"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed."
