Noticing an inexplicable light flashing deep in her eyes, Li Lin became even more nervous. His mind went blank and he had no idea where to start.
For a moment, the room fell into silence except for the two people's breathing and the soft sound of the gears moving in the clock on the wall.
The atmosphere was inexplicably solemn.
After a long time, Li Lin took a deep breath and finally forced himself to suppress the nervousness in his heart. He took two steps forward, half-knelt beside Caitlin, held her right hand with both hands, and looked up to meet her eyes.
"Kate..."
But when the words came to his lips, they were stuck in his throat. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say a single word.
Looking at Li Lin's embarrassment, Caitlin finally couldn't help it. She covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes narrowed into crescents.
"Alright, alright, seriously, why wouldn't you be so embarrassed to talk about this?"
"Hmm?" Li Lin uttered a questioning nasal sound, a trace of confusion and surprise gradually emerging on his face.
What is going on?
"I'm a detective who's solved many major cases. I'm now the sheriff of the Piltover Police. Do you think you can fool me with your little tricks?"
Caitlin raised her eyebrows slightly, pulled her hand away from Li Lin's, hugged it across her chest again, and snorted softly, "Tell me, besides Zuo Yin, how many other women have you been involved with outside?"
Li Lin was startled and stood up suddenly, his expression suddenly turned into shock, "You, what are you..."
In fact, he was shocked not only by the fact that Caitlin had seen through him a long time ago, but also by her current attitude.
Although this look is a bit resentful, it doesn't look like anger...
Caitlin curled her lips and said, "I've already told you that you can't hide your little tricks from me."
She paused, narrowed her eyes slightly, and the look in her eyes suddenly became serious, as if the person in front of her was not her lover, but a criminal who had committed many evil deeds.
"Besides, even if you think you can hide it from me, Zuo Yin has no acting skills at all. Have you ever considered her?"
Caitlin hummed softly, "Let's not even talk about why she transformed herself into an adult. The way that little girl looked at you, the love in her eyes was almost condensed into substance."
Yes, is it that exaggerated?
Li Lin recalled the past period of time. Whenever Zuo Yin appeared beside him, his eyes would never leave him even half a meter away...
Well, it seems to be really that exaggerated.
"——Hiss!" Li Lin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and his breathing stagnated.
Recently, whenever Zuo Yin was with him, Caitlin was always by his side!
"You've actually already confirmed your relationship with Zuo Yin, right?"
Caitlyn pressed the issue, standing up and interrogating her, "According to the timeline, you mentioned that you spent some time with her in Demacia. That should have been the time? No, that was the only time."
Li Lin's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He knew that Caitlin was meticulous, but he didn't expect her to be able to think to this extent.
Seeing the man fall silent, Caitlin stood up from the chair and stepped forward with her slender feet in sandals.
Every time she took a step forward, Li Lin would ask the queen to take a step back, until he was backed against the wall with no way to retreat.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them instantly switched from being "hunter" and "prey".
"Originally, I was skeptical of you, but you took advantage of the 'aftermath' to test me a while ago, and that made me firm up in my opinion."
Caitlin put one hand on Li Lin's chest, raised her eyes, and finally met his slightly panicked eyes, with a playful smile on her lips.
"Well, don't rush to reveal the mystery, let me guess first...Apart from Zuo Yin, are you related to Kaisa?
"Although this little girl has returned to normal recently, she has been avoiding me for a while, as if she had done something wrong.
"Considering the average lifespan and customs of the Shurima people, Kai'Sa is already at the stage of marriage.
"Based on everything Kassadin said and did during the time he lived with us, especially towards you, I can probably guess that he must have introduced you to Kaisa. Am I right?"
At this time, Li Lin's face was already "as pale as death".
Since she didn't deny it, in Caitlin's eyes it was tantamount to agreeing with what she said.
"Kate..." Li Lin called out her name in a hoarse voice.
"Shh—don't speak so quickly."
Caitlin made a "silence" gesture to him, then pointed her index finger at the corner of her lips and continued with a tilted face: "Although I don't know whether you have confirmed your relationship with Kai'Sa, I know that you at least have other women outside.
"so……"
She gave Li Lin a look that showed that she wanted him to "tell the truth."
Li Lin was silent for a long time, then lowered his head and sighed heavily, "And... Sona from Demacia, Sona Bouvier."
Since he was taught a lesson by Morgana last time, he was always very careful about the smell on his body.
When Caitlin approached him just now, she didn't smell Sona's perfume, otherwise she would have questioned it from the beginning.
"Hmm?" Caitlin raised an eyebrow. "I've heard you mention this girl. She's Barrett's daughter. She has a magical zither and, like Seraphine, the gift of being able to listen to other people's inner voices."
"Yes, but Seraphine hears the songs of others' souls, while Sona understands the thoughts and desires of others through the power of the flower."
