Chapter 52: Love
As soon as Xie Yue left, Wen Nianchu went upstairs to get a towel, ready to let Xie Yue, who was caught in the rain, wipe himself before entering the house. By the way, she also went to get a few boxes of cold medicine.
She had just put the cold medicine on the table when she received the call.
Before she could speak, the other party started talking: "Niannian, why do you want to live with a strange man? How old are you? You..."
That night, Shen Yu.
How did this pervert get her phone number?
Wen Nianchu frowned: "Are you monitoring me?"
A low laugh came from the other end of the line. "I'm just sad that Nian Nian actually left me alone on the boat." He then changed the subject, "You're much smarter than in your previous life. This scares me... I'm afraid you'll run away from me again."
Wen Nianchu stood up calmly and looked around, from the gaps in the bookshelves, the base of the chandelier to various places on the ceiling, looking for possible hidden cameras.
She said coldly:
"You are breaking the law, Ye Chenyu."
"Bai Yiqiu has just been sent in, and you're so eager to become brothers with him?"
“Haha…” Ye Chenyu on the opposite side laughed, “Niannian, so what? I’m so jealous that I’m going crazy… You’re mine.”
Wen Nianchu decisively hung up the phone:
"I belong to no one but myself."
Ye Chenyu is really crazy.
As Wen Nianchu was searching, he actually found something on the base of the coffee table. It was a black block-shaped thing, which was a monitoring device.
Wen Nianchu sneered.
She thought about it and called back again.
"How long have you had your bug in my house?"
"A long time."
"OK."
Wen Nianchu hung up the phone directly and saved the call record.
As soon as she hung up, Gu Mingyue called and said that she would be awarded a banner that afternoon for her assistance in the Rongcheng incident, and she was asked to invite Xie Yue to come along. Wen Nianchu could sense that Gu Mingyue was obviously quite happy on the phone, so she exchanged a few more words with her.
Wen Nianchu and Gu Mingyue talked about the illegal wiretapping, and then sent the file of Ye Chenyu's call recording to Gu Mingyue, asking him to file a case to investigate the matter.
"Okay." Gu Mingyue's smiling voice came from the other end of the phone.

When Xie Yue came back, his hair was already wet.
He was holding a steaming cup of milk tea in his hand, and the plastic bag was soaked with rainwater.
Wen Nianchu was stunned for a second, then quickly took the milk tea and her fingertips touched his cold skin.
"A towel. Wipe your face first or something."
Wen Nianchu stood at the door, looking Xie Yue up and down with a very friendly attitude.
"Let me help you blow-dry your hair," she said suddenly.
Xie Yue paused, and a pair of slightly widened eyes appeared under the towel.
Wen Nianchu couldn't help laughing and reached out to tug at his wet sleeves: "What are you daydreaming about? Go to the bathroom."
Xie Yue was dragged to the bathroom in a state of confusion.
Under the warm yellow light, the humming sound of the hair dryer filled the small space.
Xie Yue bent down obediently, letting her rub his hair. Through the gap in the towel, he could see her eyelashes close at hand and her slightly pouty lips.
Wen Nianchu's fingers ran through his slightly wet hair, making him feel that their behavior was a little too intimate.
"us……"
As soon as Xie Yue opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Wen Nianchu.
She looked at Xie Yue's red ears in the mirror and turned off the hair dryer.
"Xie Yue." Her voice was soft, yet filled with a seriousness that couldn't be ignored. "I've already blow-dried your hair. Now, would you like to consider changing your identity? Stop being a kept lover and become my legitimate boyfriend?"
The residual heat from the hair dryer has not yet dissipated.
She leaned in close to his ear, her breath gently brushing against his earlobe.
In the mirror, Xie Yue's Adam's apple rolled noticeably.
His fingers clenched the towel on his knees and he turned his head away, not daring to look at her.
But Wen Nianchu did not give him a chance to escape.
She walked around to him and looked at him at eye level:
“I don’t actually like ambiguous relationships.”
Her eyes were amazingly bright:
"Xie Yue, during the time we've known each other, I've been very satisfied with your performance. So I want to have a legitimate relationship with you."
Xie Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"You can refuse." Wen Nianchu suddenly smiled and reached out to poke his tense cheek, "But I think you seem to like me quite a bit." She slid her right index finger along his jawline to his chin, gently lifted it up, and looked directly into Xie Yue's eyes, "Otherwise, why would you go out in the rain to buy me milk tea?"
Seeing that Xie Yue still didn't speak.
Wen Nianchu added directly:
"I need an obedient, well-behaved boyfriend."
"Someone like you."
Just... being obedient and well-behaved?
Xie Yue finally raised his eyes, and her stubborn expression was reflected in his dark pupils.
He slowly held her rebellious hand and said in a hoarse voice:
"...You obviously know the answer."
Wen Nianchu's eyes suddenly curved into crescents:
"Then I want to hear it from your own mouth."
Xie Yue took a deep breath and pulled her closer.
Their breaths mingled in the humid air.
Xie Yue suddenly leaned over, his moist breath spraying into her ear: "That may disappoint you."
His lips were almost touching her earlobe. "I'm not obedient—"
His warm lips brushed against her earlobe: "Not well behaved either."
Wen Nianchu's ears instantly burned: "That won't do."
Xie Yue chuckled softly, then lifted her up by the waist and placed her on the sink. He placed his hands on her sides, his nose almost touching her cheek. There was still heat on her freshly blow-dried hair.
"So have you thought it through? Girlfriend?"
Plop, plop.
Xie Yue’s watch showed Wen Nianchu’s nervous heart rate.
He could feel her heartbeat.
She is nervous.
Nervous because of him.
"Is it okay?" He slowly approached, their breaths blending together, and his voice became gentler.
Wen Nianchu suddenly raised his hand and pressed it against his chest with such force that he almost pushed Xie Yue so hard that he stumbled and fell.
"wait!"
She jumped down from the sink swiftly, straightened her collar, and looked at her watch: "Exactly thirty minutes."
"Pack up and let's go to the police station."
Xie Yue froze in place: "...What?"
"Take my banner. It's a commendation for helping to solve a fraud case last week. I agreed to pick it up today." She turned around and saw Xie Yue's dazed expression. She suppressed a smile and added, "What's wrong? You don't look very happy."
Xie Yue: "..."
Wen Nianchu continued, "We both have banners. One for each of us. You've avenged your friends from the orphanage."
Xie Yue: "..."
Wen Nianchu waved her hand: "I'm going upstairs to change clothes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yue reached out and grabbed her wrist. The force was not strong, but it made it impossible for her to pull away.
Before Wen Nianchu could speak, his kiss had already landed on her.
The kiss was light and restrained, lingering only briefly on her forehead, like a feather brushing past.
"Drink the cold medicine on the table first and then go get some."
Wen Nianchu blinked.
Xie Yue: “Yeah.”
