Hearing his words, she was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Oh, how can I buy it? Thank you so much."

"No, actually I'm just cooking your portion. Do you have to be so polite?"

"Okay, okay, don't be so polite. If you continue to be polite, you will be just being polite." She waved her hand.

Zhou Ziheng looked at him deeply, and the smile on her face froze under his deep gaze. After a long while, she hesitantly said, "Captain Zhou, what's the matter?"

His big hand reached out and touched her face, lifting her chin with a little force.

The calloused part of his hands rubbed against her and she trembled slightly. The girl's dull expression made him pause. Her long eyelashes drooped, covering her star-like eyes. From his angle, he could see the slightly trembling eyelashes. She seemed nervous.

Looking down at his wheat-colored hands and her fair face, she saw a huge contrast, the man's roughness and the woman's tenderness, and was shocked in her heart.

He suddenly let go.

Lu Xiangxiang was pinched by the chin. This action was too sudden. When she found out that the person pinching her chin was Zhou Ziheng, her heart suddenly tightened and began to beat inexplicably.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

He, he, what is he doing?

Just when she was confused, Zhou Ziheng let her go and got up without saying anything.

What does he mean by this? He touched her face for no apparent reason.

Is this taking advantage of her and teasing her?

That's not right. He can do anything with that face of his. He's so handsome.

Wait? Why did she think of this? What did it mean that just because he was handsome was enough?

Could it be that her subconscious mind is that if he wants to do something to her, she won't resist?

She stared blankly at the man coming back and sitting in front of her again. He was still wearing the same shirt, but underneath the shirt were tangled and bulging muscles. That was not the body of a gentle and handsome man, but a healthy tough guy. Looking at his face again, his muscular eyes and handsome face were full of seriousness. If it was him, it didn't seem impossible, she thought with her heart pounding.

Just as she was daydreaming, a hand lifted her face up again, and at the same time, something slightly cool was wiped across her nose, and she paused.

Forehead……

Was I just daydreaming after all?

She was overthinking it. This guy had no feelings for her at all.

No, he is Zhou Ziheng. In the book, Zhou Ziheng was lonely in both of his lives, and even after he held a high position, he had no intention of getting married.

How can such a person easily like someone?

Wait, what the hell is she missing?

Is she going to develop something with him?

No, she hadn't planned for anything to happen, and even wanted to stay away from him. The ten-year wave was no joke, and there was only one word to describe being involved with their family: miserable.

Lu Xiangxiang took a deep breath and snatched the medicine from Zhou Ziheng's hand: "Thank you, Captain Zhou, I can do it myself."

She took a handful of ointment and applied it on her nose in a few strokes. Then she returned the things to him, took the dishes to wash them, and then returned to the room.

She was as fast as the wind, and he seemed to be gone before he could say good night.

she……

It seemed to become strange suddenly.

Back in the room, she slapped her face in annoyance.

Tonight is a sleepless night after all.

When I woke up the next day, I had obvious dark circles under my eyes, which were particularly noticeable against my fair skin.

"Xiao Lu, didn't you sleep last night?"

"Yeah, these dark circles are too heavy, aren't they?"

"You should take care of your body and not overwork yourself."

"That's right."

The dark circles under her eyes were so obvious that she attracted everyone's attention as soon as she arrived. Faced with their attention, she could only make up the excuse that she had a nightmare to get away with it.

Not long after, Zhou Ziheng also came to work.

"Let's continue exploring today."

"Let's all take our positions." After he finished speaking, Lu Xiangxiang suddenly said, "Captain Zhou, I want to follow Zhang Mingwei."

"What?"

"Today I want to follow Zhang Mingwei to other places to inquire." She continued.

Zhou Ziheng didn't say anything and agreed.

Lu Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief. She had made up her mind this morning to distance herself from him. This man was poisonous and scary to her now.

Stay away, stay away.

Zhang Mingwei never thought that he could be with Lu Xiangxiang, let alone how happy he was.

The other two looked at him with envy and jealousy. They also wanted to be with Xiao Lu.

Zhang Mingwei went to visit and inquire around the school to see if there were any clues.

Lu Xiangxiang set off with him, and Zhang Mingwei was looking for a nearby school.

They still refused to give up, so they continued posting to see if there were any leads.

The two of them worked well together. Zhang Mingwei went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bottle of soda, and Lu Xiangxiang took out a ticket from his pocket and gave it to him.

"This is a treat from Brother Zhang. You don't have to pay. Why are you being so polite?"

She insisted on stuffing the money into his pocket. "It's not easy for everyone to work. A bottle of soda costs fifty cents. I can't take your things for free."

Unable to refuse, he had to accept the money.

After drinking the soda, they continued looking for people and came to the affiliated middle school twenty kilometers away.

This is a school that combines junior high school and high school. When the two of them arrived at the school, everyone was surprised and didn't understand why the police came to their school.

The two asked if there were any missing students in the school, and of course the principal answered that there were none.

Alas, they were destined to return empty-handed. They looked at the time and it was time for dinner. The principal warmly invited them to have a meal at the school.

The two of them stayed, and of course they didn't need the principal to treat them, they paid for their own meals.

After eating, the two rested for a while and prepared to set off for the next school.

At this moment, Lu Xiangxiang felt someone was staring at them. She turned around and found a girl with pigtails in the corner. The girl was very pretty, wearing glasses and looked very gentle.

"Classmate, do you have anything to say?" she asked curiously.

The girl nodded and shook her head.

"If you have any questions, please tell me. I will help if I can."

"Really?" Perhaps the girl felt that Lu Xiangxiang was very gentle, so she hesitated for a moment and finally stood up.

"It's true." She nodded.

"Actually, I haven't seen a classmate at school for over a month. Later, I went to ask her parents, but they said she got married. I asked her family where she married, and they said she married in the mountains. They also told me not to look for her, saying there are many unmarried women in the mountains. If I look for her, I'm afraid it will not end well, so I never went to look for her."

"so?"

"I just saw the notice you posted. I suspect she's dead."

"What?" Lu Xiangxiang and Zhang Mingwei looked at each other.

Suddenly his eyes lit up. After several days, he finally got a clue. How could he not be happy?

"Classmate, please tell us everything you know."
