Xu Qianjiao took out a bowl and chopsticks from the basket, poured some dumplings and soup from the thermos box and handed them to Cheng Jiawen, "Here, eat quickly."
Cheng Jiawen took the bowl and chopsticks and placed them directly in front of Xu Qianjiao. "You eat first. I'll just eat from the thermos box."
Then he reached out and took the thermal box, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start eating. He first picked up the lunch box and took a sip of the soup.
The first sip brings a sense of satisfaction as the warm, rich liquid slides down your throat. The tenderness of the chicken and the richness of the broth blend perfectly, creating a rich and layered flavor that leaves you with an unforgettable aftertaste.
"It's delicious." Cheng Jiawen nodded with satisfaction. "Mom's cooking skills are really good."
"That's right, drink more. Mom made this especially for you. You've been going out early and coming back late these days. Aren't you very tired?" Xu Qianjiao cared for him gently while eating.
These days, Cheng Jiawen was busy until the early hours of the morning every night and had to leave again before dawn, so Xu Qianjiao, Xu's father and Xu's mother had not seen Cheng Jiawen at all these days.
Cheng Jiawen ate while speaking incoherently: "Well, it's okay, not hard, don't worry."
Seeing him wolfing down his food while trying to reply to her, Xu Qianjiao found it both funny and distressing. "Eat slowly. No one's going to snatch it from you. Eating too fast is bad for your stomach."
Cheng Jiawen nodded, but his eating speed did not slow down at all.
He has been eating steamed buns these days. Not only him, but almost everyone in the police station is eating steamed buns. Sometimes they hardly eat anything. There is no other way. They are too busy and have so many things to do that they don't even have time to eat.
Steamed buns are the most convenient for them. They can just pick up and go, so they often pick up steamed buns and eat them while walking to save time.
After taking a few bites, Xu Qianjiao felt full. She didn't know what was wrong with her these days. She had no appetite and sometimes even felt like vomiting when she smelled meat.
Cheng Jiawen looked at Xu Qianjiao eating so little and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Wife, why are you eating so little? Are you not feeling well?"
Xu Qianjiao shook her head. "No, I ate some cookies when I came here, so I'm not too hungry."
She told Cheng Jiawen a white lie. In fact, she didn't want to eat, but she thought it was a small problem and didn't want Cheng Jiawen to worry about her when he was so busy.
Cheng Jiawen didn't doubt it. "Tsk, you can't do this in the future. You still have to eat. How can you just eat biscuits without eating? Come on, have two more dumplings."
Cheng Jiawen reached out and picked up a dumpling, and handed it to Xu Qianjiao's mouth, "Be good, eat two more."
Xu Qianjiao obediently opened her mouth and ate the dumplings. After eating two, Xu Qianjiao completely lost her appetite. She didn't want to eat these greasy things at all. She just wanted to eat something refreshing, preferably sour and spicy.
There was still half of the dumplings and soup left in her bowl. She reached out and pushed the bowl in front of Cheng Jiawen, "You eat, I'm full."
Cheng Jiawen looked at her worriedly, "You're not going to eat? How about some soup?"
Xu Qianjiao shook her head, "No, I'm really full, you drink it."
Seeing that Xu Qianjiao really couldn't eat any more, he picked up the bowl and finished the chicken soup and dumplings in a few mouthfuls. He put the bowl and the thermos box back into the basket and said, "Leave these here for now. I'll wash them and take them home tonight."
"good."
"Wow, what smells so good?" Jiang Ziwen walked in from outside and smelled a strong and overbearing fragrance as soon as he entered. He couldn't help but ask loudly.
Suddenly, he saw a woman sitting with Cheng Jiawen, and the gossip fire in his heart burned fiercely.
When Cheng Jiawen saw him coming back, he immediately said, "You're back just in time. You stay here and watch while I take my wife back."
"Wife? Are you married?" Jiang Ziwen looked at Cheng Jiawen in surprise, a little incredulous.
He didn't expect that Cheng Jiawen, who was about the same age as him, was already married, but he didn't even have a partner?
Cheng Jiawen nodded, took Xu Qianjiao's hand, and happily introduced her to Jiang Ziwen: "Yes, I'm married. This is my wife, Xu Qianjiao, and this is Jiang Ziwen."
"Hello." Xu Qianjiao nodded implicitly and greeted softly.
Jiang Ziwen immediately smiled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Cheng Jiawen looked at the clock in the duty room and said, "It's almost time. You stay here and watch. I'll send my wife back first and will be back soon."
Xu Qianjiao gently pulled Cheng Jiawen's hand and said, "It's okay. Just do what you want. I can go back by myself."
"I'll take you back on my bike. It's very quick. How long will it take you to walk on your own?" Cheng Jiawen said slowly. He knew his wife well. She was usually very pampered, but now she had walked for more than half an hour just to bring him dumplings.
The station is far away from the police station, one is in the south and the other is in the north. Considering Xu Qianjiao's usual pampered level, it was already a great favor for her to be willing to leave. Now she said she wanted to walk back by herself. How could he feel at ease?
He nodded to Jiang Ziwen, then took Xu Qianjiao out.
-------------------------------------
On a cold winter afternoon, sunlight streamed through the window of the police station's duty room, illuminating officers Cheng Jiawen, Jiang Ziwen, and Xiao Fan as they sat quietly guarding the prisoners.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Officer Liu walked in with a group of soldiers. Their steps were neat and powerful, and their uniforms exuded a solemn atmosphere.
Cheng Jiawen and his companions stood up immediately when they saw Officer Liu and his team come in. Officer Liu pointed to the door of the interrogation room and said, "Open the interrogation room."
