Upon hearing Xiao Tiesuo's words, both Zhong Ling and Xiao Hong blushed.
They are indeed dating, but no one at the restaurant knows about it.
However, Little Iron Lock might know that every time they whispered to each other, Iron Lock knew.
"Hahaha..." Su Xiaonuan laughed heartily, seemingly unaffected by the fire, and said in a great mood, "Little Iron Lock, you really are quite worried, aren't you? Your Sister Xiaohong and Sister Zhongling don't even have boyfriends yet, what are you saving up for dowries?"
"Boss lady, they have boyfriends," Xiao Tiesuo blurted out.
"Who?" Su Xiaonuan's heart jumped. In her opinion, she had rescued these two girls, so she had to take full responsibility for them. Even if they were dating, they would have to be vetted by her.
"Boss lady, don't listen to Xiao Tiesuo's nonsense. We don't have boyfriends!" Xiao Hong said anxiously, shaking off Tiesuo's hand. "We work at the restaurant every day and don't go anywhere else. How could we meet people?"
“That’s right, we don’t have boyfriends.” Zhong Ling also got anxious. “Xiao Tiesuo is too young to distinguish between friends and boyfriends. It’s possible that he’s misunderstood and thinks that any male friend he sees is his boyfriend.”
"No, that's not true!" Tie Suo argued anxiously. "I didn't misunderstand. I know that Brother Xiang Bo is Sister Xiao Hong's boyfriend and Brother Li Wei is Sister Zhong Ling's boyfriend. You even made plans to go out together, and you even held hands."
Zhong Ling and Xiao Hong fell silent.
"It's those two?" Su Xiaonuan smiled. Both of them had worked at the shop and were quite good-looking, with impressive talents and skills. The two girls really had good taste.
"Boss lady, I..."
Zhong Ling and Xiao Hong both lowered their heads and remained silent.
"You two don't need to act like this." Su Xiaonuan didn't blame them at all. "When you're dating, you should just be open and honest about it. But you two need to be careful. Before you get married, you must protect yourselves. If the other person isn't right for you, you'll still have a chance to back out, understand?"
"Okay. Thank you, ma'am!"
The two girls finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had been afraid to go public with it because they were worried that the landlady would talk about them.
Unexpectedly, the landlady was so understanding. Not only did she not scold them, but she also allowed them to date openly.
In other words, you no longer need to sneak around on dates; you can openly go shopping or see a movie with your boyfriend.
...
Water Blue Sky No. 88.
Although it was two o'clock in the morning, the lights were still on.
Everyone sat around in the living room, discussing the fire.
Ye Mei also made a late-night snack for everyone.
After listening to everyone's account, Xiao Moxi said in a cryptic tone, "This fire is very strange. Since it wasn't done by a competitor, it's very likely that the person who called to report it started it."
"Oh, why do you say that?" Su Ming agreed with Mo Xi's analysis, but he subtly wanted to hear more from the girl.
“Think about it, the fire brigade only went to the restaurant to enforce the law after receiving several different reports.” Mo Xi paused here. “However, the whistleblowers’ wishes were not fulfilled. The law enforcement officers were moved by the owner’s kindness and not only did they not shut down the restaurant for rectification, but they also sat down and enjoyed the delicious food. So, the other party was desperate and simply burned the restaurant down.”
"Excellent, very good analysis." Su Ming applauded her.
"Hehe, I learned this from my sister-in-law." Mo Xi laughed shyly.
"Go to sleep, what time is it?" Su Xiaonuan came out of the shower, drying her wet hair with a towel, and looked at everyone in the living room who were still wide awake. "Are you guys going to get up tomorrow morning?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling and Xiao Hong quickly returned to their room.
Tiezhu had already accompanied Tiesuo back to his room to rest.
Only the two of them were too excited to sleep because the new environment was so wonderful.
I never dreamed that the two of them could stay in such a nice place.
"Why aren't you going back to your room to sleep? What else do you want to do?" Su Xiaonuan glared at Xiao Moxi.
“She wants to learn how you solve cases.” Su Ming stood up with a smile. “But, Xiao Nuan, go to the scene when it’s light. Maybe we’ll find something new. The arsonist doesn’t look like a repeat offender. He must have left some clues in the chaos.”
"Leave this job to me, I'll go at daybreak." Xiao Moran wanted Xiao Nuan to sleep a little longer. "Xiao Nuan is too tired, let her sleep a little longer."
"Okay, go check it out, but don't disturb the scene," Su Xiaonuan instructed him. "I'll check it again when I get back."
Ye Mei quietly tugged at Su Ming's sleeve, signaling him with her eyes to hurry up and leave.
Su Ming was about to say a few more words, but seeing Ye Mei constantly giving him meaningful glances, he immediately understood and took his wife back to their room.
The huge living room now only has the two of them left.
Su Xiaonuan plopped down in the chair, holding a dry towel in both hands, and kept rubbing her hair, trying to dry it quickly this way.
Xiao Moran walked behind her. "Honey, let me do it!"
After saying that, he reached for the towel, found that it was a little wet, and turned around to get two dry towels.
While drying her hair, he muttered, "You never think about yourself first. If you had washed your hair and taken a shower as soon as you got back, it would have been dry by now. You always made them wash first, and now you're the last one to go to bed."
“Xiao Hong and Zhong Ling both have long hair, so it takes longer for their hair to dry. My hair is shorter, so it dries faster.”
"Tch, it's only a little short." He wished he could dry her hair with fire so she could go back to her room and sleep sooner. "No, I have to find someone to buy you a hairdryer from abroad."
In those days, very few families owned a hair dryer.
Hair dryers are usually only found in barbershops, and they're usually the bulky kind.
"That's great!" Su Xiaonuan couldn't be happier. In her previous life, she always dried her hair with a hairdryer after washing it. But in this era, there are no hairdryers available, so she can only dry it with a towel.
"Let's go back to the room!" Xiao Moran said this without any ulterior motives. Seeing her yawning, he thought he could help her dry her hair while he dried it so she could fall asleep. Even if she fell asleep, he could still dry her hair for her.
"I'm really too sleepy, I'm not going to wipe anymore." She raised her hand to cover her mouth and got up.
"No, you'll have a headache when you wake up if you sleep like this." Xiao Moran grabbed a dry towel and followed her into the room. He sat on the edge of the bed, wrapped her half-dry hair in the towel, and gently rubbed it with his hands.
"Xiao Moran... I'm going to sleep..." Her eyelids were too heavy to keep open, and she fell asleep as she spoke.
Looking at her sweet sleeping posture, Xiao Moran couldn't help but secretly kiss her cheek.
She seemed to feel something in her sleep, but she really couldn't open her eyes.
The ends of his hair brushed against her cheek, like a gentle spring breeze.
Xiao Nuan was so comfortable in the gentle spring breeze that she slept more and more soundly.
Xiao Moran's kisses roamed across her face, from her forehead, the tip of her nose, her cheeks, down to her soft chin and lips...
