"Okay, Captain, I understand. Do you think Comrade Zhou and I have a chance?"
"That's a bit risky!"
"Ah! Why?" Xiao Zhang followed behind him. "I just can't take my eyes off her the moment I see her. Is this what it feels like to like someone? I asked the people in my dorm, but they don't really know either, so I wanted to ask you!"
When you look at Comrade Lu, don't you also find it hard to look away?
"Mm," Gu Lingxiao replied.
"I told you, this is what it feels like to like someone. So, do you think there's any chance we could be together?" Xiao Zhang straightened up and adjusted his collar. "I think I'm pretty good-looking, and I think I can talk pretty well too!"
“You’re harder to win over than I am. I just heard from Comrade Lu that Comrade Zhou’s father holds an important position and is the only daughter in the family. You won’t be able to get past that hurdle!” Gu Lingxiao reached out and patted his shoulder. “You’d better think it through, kid. Don’t let yourself get too deeply in love.”
“I can be a live-in son-in-law!” Xiao Zhang blurted out. “Anyway, I have many sons in my family. If I go out and become a live-in son-in-law, her father should agree!”
Gu Lingxiao was speechless for a moment. This guy reacted really quickly, finding a breakthrough so fast.
Indeed, the allure of a son-in-law living with his wife's family is irresistible to any father-in-law.
The child takes the father-in-law's surname, and the child's household registration is also on the father-in-law's household registration book to continue the family line.
"Will your family agree?"
"They don't care about me, as long as I like it."
"Then give it a try! But if they don't agree, you can't keep bothering them, understand?"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. There's a saying that goes, 'A virtuous lady is afraid of being pursued by a man!'"
"How do you know more than I do?" Gu Lingxiao looked at Xiao Zhang. "Tell me the truth, did you talk to him before?"
"No! There are only a few women in our unit, and they're all older than me. Besides, they're all in relationships, and even if they aren't, I don't know how many they've dated!"
"Alright! You definitely thought more than I did." Gu Lingxiao casually patted his shoulder. "I wish you success soon!"
"Captain, you too, keep it up! Comrade Lu is divorced now, he's a free man. If someone gets interested and confesses their feelings to you before you do, you'll have nowhere to cry, and the whole team will laugh at you!"
"Okay, I got it!" Gu Lingxiao kicked his butt. "Hurry up and go in to chop the pork filling. If you don't do it, who will?"
"Report, I'll go right away!" Xiao Zhang said and ran into the yard, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Gu Lingxiao looked up at the sun in the sky. He was also worried that Lu Zhixia would be taken away. After thinking about it, he decided to confess his feelings after finding the doctor, and then go to find the child with Lu Zhixia.
He could already picture the four of them strolling in the park and eating together.
Lu Zhixia had just picked up a knife to chop the meat when Xiao Zhang took the knife from her hand and started chopping the meat.
That's pretty fast. If someone else is doing it, then she can stop and chat with Zhou An'an.
The two of them took their stools and sat down under a tree outside.
"How have you been these past few days?" Zhou An'an asked.
"Today I used the money from selling my house and added some more to buy another house. The property certificate will be issued in half a month."
"At that speed, you bought a house in just a few hours!"
"That's because I met a woman at the housing management office yesterday. She's incredibly efficient. I asked her for help today, and she got the paperwork done very quickly. I'll introduce you to her sometime when I have time. Having more connections means having more options; you'll need them sooner or later."
"Your luck is unparalleled, I'm genuinely happy for you."
"Don't just talk about me, lately we've been investigating all sorts of cases that aren't anything special."
"There's nothing wrong with the cases, it's just the same old stuff every day, but there's one person who's quite interesting."
"Tell me more about it."
"We caught a pair of lovebirds in the park not long ago." Afraid she wouldn't understand, he leaned close to her ear and said, "They're the kind of people who do this kind of thing. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Zhixia also loved listening to gossip, only regretting that she didn't have a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and nodded repeatedly.
"The man confessed long ago. It was the woman who kept changing her story, saying one thing one minute and another the next. In the end, she said she couldn't remember anything and that we were framing her! She was shouting and yelling inside all day, refusing to eat or drink and demanding to get out!"
"So how do you deal with people like that?"
"The station chief said that we could only follow her first statement and contact the local law enforcement agency, but they didn't have this person in their account."
Lu Zhixia thought that people like this were usually trying to hide their identities, or they were just doing illegal transactions. Even if the evidence was conclusive, they would only be detained for a year or two at most before being released. There was no need to make things so difficult for them.
