Just eating?

"Hmm..."

Jiang Shuiying opened her eyes, stretched drowsily, and found that it was still raining outside the window, and the rain had not slowed down compared to before she went to bed.

Luo Yuwen, who was sitting on the side, had put on his coat at some point and was leaning back in his seat, scrolling through his phone.

"woke up?"

Jiang Shuiying put the blanket aside and scratched her hair, her voice a little hoarse: "...How long have I slept?"

"Almost an hour? I didn't wake you because you were sleeping so soundly and the rain hadn't stopped."

Jiang Shuiying paused for a moment, then came to her senses before asking Luo Yuwen, "Aren't we going back to City G?"

Hearing this, Luo Yuwen held up his phone in front of Jiang Shuiying. On the phone was a news item: Due to heavy rain, the highway from City A to City G suffered a landslide. Repairs are currently underway and are expected to resume tomorrow.

"Jiang Shuiying, we have to stay here tonight and probably won't be able to leave until tomorrow morning."

Jiang Shuiying didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, no one could control the weather.

Then Luo Yuwen started the car, set out to find a place to stay, and drove towards the city.

Although City A is a relatively famous tourist city, it is now the off-season and it is raining heavily, so it is still easy to find a hotel and there are many empty rooms.

After they each checked into a single suite, they went back to their rooms to rest until nightfall.

It was a little after eight in the evening. Luo Yuwen had just finished taking a shower and was walking around the room in only a bathrobe. He was holding a hair dryer and was about to blow dry his hair when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"who?"

Who would knock on the door at this time? I didn’t order anything, Luo Yuwen wondered in his heart.

"It's me!"

It is the sound of the river overflowing.

Hearing this, Luo Yuwen raised his eyebrows and opened the door.

The woman standing outside the door was wearing light-colored house clothes, her hair casually tied up, holding two boxes in her hands, and smiling broadly.

On Jiang Shuiying's side, as soon as the door opened, a pair of wheat-colored pectoral muscles caught her eyes. Luo Yuwen had a towel hanging on his head, his hair was wet, and water droplets flowed down his cheeks and disappeared into the open bathrobe, looking very handsome.

Oh my, otherwise there would be a market for muscular men. Jiang Shuiying was in a good mood and thought that she could eat a few more crayfish later.

Jiang Shuiying's gaze was very direct, which made Luo Yuwen very uncomfortable, and the tips of his ears turned red: "Jiang Shuiying? You..."

Luo Yuwen found that Jiang Shuiying seemed to have taken a shower. Her hair became clean and fluffy, and her face was free of makeup, making her look fair and pure.

She shook the thing in her hand and said, "Mr. Detective, I came to have dinner with you."

"You won't be unwelcome, will you?"

Luo Yuwen stood there without moving, wondering what Jiang Shuiying wanted to do so late at night.

"Just eating?"

Jiang Shuiying looked puzzled. "Of course not. We are allies now. Shouldn't we discuss some clues?"

"What if we can find a breakthrough..."

The reason was impeccable. Luo Yuwen sighed, turned sideways to let Jiang Shuiying into the house, and closed the door.

Jiang Shuiying sat on the carpet outside, opened the takeaway box in her hand and placed it on the coffee table, and took out two bottles of sparkling water from the refrigerator.

The water in the river was still filled with seafood. As soon as it was opened, the fragrance filled the room, making her stomach growl with greed. She twisted her body and shouted towards the inner room:

"Luo Yuwen, hurry up, I'm so hungry!"

Luo Yuwen changed his clothes in the inner room and dried his hair before coming out. As soon as he came out, he saw Jiang Shuiying sitting cross-legged on the carpet, holding a crab leg in her hand and chewing a crayfish in her mouth. There was a little chili oil on her lips. While chewing, she asked him to come and eat quickly.

Luo Yuwen sat down next to Jiang Shuiying as if he had accepted his fate, and took out a few tissues and handed them to her.

"There's oil on the lips..."

Two weeks ago, Luo Yuwen would never have thought that he would be alone with Jiang Shuiying in a hotel...eating seafood.

Moreover, Jiang Shuiying's image is very different from before. In Luo Yuwen's impression, she would never be like this now, wearing loose long-sleeved shirts and trousers, sitting on the carpet and eating crabs.

On the other side, Jiang Shuiying was eating happily, and from time to time she would say a few words to disturb Luo Yuwen's thoughts.

"Luo Yuwen, do you think Zhu Zhi could have killed Yan Ming?"

Luo Yuwen shook his head. "There's no evidence at the moment. Although she has a motive, her alibi is perfect. She didn't have the time to commit the crime."

Jiang Shuiying chewed something and mumbled, "Then we...didn't come here for nothing?"

"Forget it, it wasn't a wasted trip. At least I had two meals of seafood..."

After they ate for a while, Jiang Shuiying was full and noticed that there was still a lot of food left in front of Luo Yuwen. She couldn't help but ask:

"Why don't you eat, Mr. Detective? Is it not to your taste?"

Luo Yuwen really had no appetite. His mind was completely occupied by the case and he couldn't spare any attention for the food in front of him, even though it was delicious.

When Jiang Shuiying asked this, Luo Yuwen simply stopped what he was doing and asked the question he wanted to ask the most:

"Jiang Shuiying, do you really love Yan Ming?"

As soon as Luo Yuwen said this, Jiang Shuiying stopped what she was doing. After wiping her mouth, she turned to look at Luo Yuwen with a serious expression.

"When Zhu Zhi said today that she was threatened by Yan Ming, how did you feel?"

"Do you think Zhu Zhi is lying to us, or do you think Yan Ming is just a jerk who uses his power to hurt girls?"

Jiang Shuiying's eyes were firm, and the cunning look she had just had was gone. The two of them stared at each other, and in the end, Luo Yuwen was defeated. He looked away and shook his head.

"I have no idea."

Jiang Shuiying picked up the half-empty bottle of sparkling water and took two sips. "This year marks the third year of Yan Ming and I's marriage. Talking about love now is meaningless."

"I just want to clear my name now. As for how many times he cheated on me or how many lovers he had, I don't care at all."

"But are you saying I don't love him? That's not so cold-blooded. After all, three years can't be wasted, right?"

Luo Yuwen's eyes relaxed. He thought of Jiang Shuiying's tearful face when he first met her, and couldn't help asking, "Then why did you act like you loved him so much before?"

Jiang Shuiying paused for a moment while holding the drink, then laughed out loud: "Luo Yuwen, because I'm an actor."

"It seems my acting is really good. A few tears can make you believe it."

Luo Yuwen also knew that such wealthy marriages usually did not have much love, especially the combination of entrepreneurs and female stars, which were mostly for profit.

But when he heard Jiang Shuiying say it so directly, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Jiang Shuiying was right. It really made no sense to talk about love in this kind of marriage.

But if Yan Ming didn't love Jiang Shuiying, why did he give her all his shares? Could it be that Jiang Shuiying killed Yan Ming for money?

This is exactly as Yan Ying said, he killed his father for shares and then disguised it as suicide.

But Luo Yuwen was deflated again because he had no evidence at all and all his thoughts were just guesses.

Jiang Shuiying, who was standing next to him, saw that the person in front of her did not react, and knew that Luo Yuwen's thoughts must be wandering in a dead end again. She couldn't help but roll her eyes - what's the point of thinking so much, there is no evidence anyway.

Looking at the frowning man in front of him, Jiang Shuiying became ill-intentioned.

Make you doubt me.

So Jiang Shuiying held up the sparkling water in her hand, patted the man beside her, and signaled him to give her his seat.

"I'm leaving, Detective. Take your time eating. I won't be accompanying you."

"Ah... okay."

Luo Yuwen came to his senses and leaned towards the coffee table, leaving a small aisle for Jiang Shuiying.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuiying had just taken two steps when she lost her balance and rushed straight towards Luo Yuwen. She didn't know whether it was because her pants were too long and tripped her feet, or because the gap was really too narrow to walk in.

"oops!"

"Jiang Shuiying! You!"

The two screamed at the same time, Jiang Shuiying fell on Luo Yuwen, and fell on the carpet with a thud. The sparkling water in her hand directly wet the clothes in front of Luo Yuwen.

Luo Yuwen's top was a navy blue short-sleeved shirt. Because it was wet, it only stuck to Luo Yuwen's muscular upper body, outlining his tight chest muscles and full abdominal muscles extremely clearly.

Further up, there was Luo Yuwen's expression of shock and embarrassment, with his entire ears tinged with a faint pink.

Jiang Shuiying rested her arms on both sides of Luo Yuwen's body, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of her.

It is true that when you look at a mountain from the front you see a peak.

Jiang Shuiying had a smile on her face, her tone full of teasing and mockery: "Oh, I was so careless."

"I accidentally got the detective's clothes wet..."

Luo Yuwen frowned tightly, closed his eyes and turned his head away, but he couldn't ignore Jiang Shuiying's long hair hanging down and brushing his abdomen.

It's so itchy.

"Jiang Shuiying, you, get up first!"

Jiang Shuiying was unmoved. Instead, she stood up, took a few tissues, helped Luo Yuwen wipe the water stains on his abdomen, and took the opportunity to eat some tofu.

Well, it feels good.

Luo Yuwen's patience had reached its limit. His hands were gripping the carpet so tightly that his joints were turning white, and his voice was unsteady: "Jiang Shuiying! What on earth are you going to do!"

"Get up!"

Jiang Shuiying, however, was not in a hurry at all. Her fair, slender fingers tapped lightly, as if she were playing some kind of musical instrument. Then, as if she had had enough fun, Jiang Shuiying placed her hands on either side of Luo Yuwen and slowly lowered her head, their faces close together.

Luo Yuwen looked at Jiang Shuiying who suddenly approached him. The faint fragrance of Jiang Shuiying filled his nose, and he felt his heart pounding against his eardrums.

"you..."

Jiang Shuiying's fair face was not made up, her lips were a little red because of the spicy food she had eaten, and her eyes were playful under her long eyelashes. All these made Luo Yuwen not know where to put his eyes.

Then, Luo Yuwen heard Jiang Shuiying speak in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Luo Yuwen, I advise you not to overthink it. We are all on the same page now. The most important thing is to get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible."

"As for what kind of person Yan Ming is, or who is right and who is wrong in this matter, you will naturally know once you find out."

After saying that, Jiang Shuiying stood up and walked to the door to go back to her room. Before leaving, she turned around and teased the man lying on the ground:

"By the way, you have some nice muscles."
