"Allergies just can't stand too much heat, but a little rain won't matter." She smiled and replied, then asked, "How are we going to go back? Should we go back with them or take your car?"
"Take my car." Qin Shen said.
"Returning to the detachment?"
"go home."
Xu Man was stunned for a moment, "Then this case..."
"Let's put the case aside for now. We don't have to solve it tonight." Qin Shen smiled slightly. "Besides, I've discussed it with Lao Chen. He knows how to investigate this case. Don't worry."
Xu Man was not worried about this. After all, the police had their own investigative process system, and there was no situation where the system could not function without one person. She just didn't expect Qin Shen to really let the case go. After all, in her impression, he could work for more than 30 hours overnight without sleep or food for the sake of work. Why was he so carefree this time?
"This case...are you really not going to take care of it?" she asked again.
Qin Shen smiled: "I do want to manage it, but I have to be able to manage it. Have you forgotten? I am still suspended from work and can't even go to the detachment, let alone whether there is a case or not."
Xu Man really forgot that he had taken her around the scene to ask passers-by for the past few hours. She was so busy that she forgot she was on vacation and had the illusion that she was being taken to the scene by him. After hearing what he said, I remembered that the two of them were out traveling, and one was on vacation and the other was suspended from work. They should have nothing to do with the case, but they actually spent the entire afternoon investigating. It's amazing.
She smiled suddenly, put her hair behind her ears, and replied a little embarrassedly: "I really forgot."
Qin Shen shook his head and said, "I see." There was a hint of pampering and helplessness in his words.
Xu Man quietly defended herself: "Because you were running around the scene just now, and it was very similar to the first time you took me out of the scene, so I had an illusion..."
The other party smiled and said, "Yes, but I really happened to encounter it today, so I came to take a look at the scene. This is still considered a violation. If you go to the detachment to lead people to investigate the case, you will be punished even if you didn't have any punishment in the first place."
"No way?" Xu Man felt that what he said was a bit exaggerated. "If you go back to the detachment to investigate the case, it's also to solve the case as soon as possible. Even if you can't go back as the captain, can't you be a consultant or something?"
Qin Shen was amused by her naive question and reached out to rub her head. "Rules are rules, favors are favors, and no matter how light the punishment is, you have to abide by it. Besides, you don't need a letter of appointment to be a consultant, right? Watch fewer criminal investigation movies and TV series in the future. You don't have much common sense in this area, and if you are led astray, you won't have much left. How did you pass the exams in your three years of college?"
Xu Man blushed a little at what he said, and muttered in a low voice: "My GPA ranking is still relatively high..."
"I'm number one in the whole grade." The other person raised his eyebrows.
Xu Man: “…”
What is it like to have a boyfriend who is a long-legged academic who likes to bully you?
Perhaps it was because the depression on her face was too obvious, Qin Shen smiled after replying to her: "Okay, I was just kidding you. Let's go, there is nothing for us to do here, it's getting dark, it's time to go back."
At this time, the detachment had almost moved all the evidence and began to get into the police car one after another. Li Shijie had already sat in the driver's seat and was about to close the door and leave. He turned around and saw Qin Shen and Xu Man standing in the rain with umbrellas, with no intention of leaving. He leaned half of his body out and shouted to them: "Brother Qin, Junior Sister, we are about to pack up, why don't you two get in the car? Come over here quickly."
"We'll drive back somewhere else and not go back to the detachment tonight." Qin Shen took two steps towards him. "Xu Man will go to work as usual tomorrow. As for when I will go back to the detachment, it is not certain yet. Let Lao Chen and the others handle this case. I will not follow up on it."
"What?" Li Shijie opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Brother Qin, you-you're not going to do it anymore?"
"I won't do anything to you." He cursed, "I'm just not following up for the time being. If the case isn't solved when I come back, I'll take it over. Do you think everyone is like you? You quit doing a good intelligence job halfway through and come to the investigation team to cause trouble."
"I'm just fighting for my dream." Li Shijie laughed awkwardly, "Okay, since you two are going back alone, Brother Qin, I'll go first."
As he spoke, he retreated back into the police car, and finally said to Xu Man: "See you tomorrow, Junior Sister."
Xu Man didn't expect him to greet her, so she hurriedly nodded and smiled back at him, then watched him close the car door, start the engine, and drive away behind the car in front.
It was almost six forty at this time, and when Qin Shen drove her home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
After climbing the mountain for a whole day and searching for half an afternoon, Xu Man was exhausted. She didn't feel it when she was standing in the rain with an umbrella and being blown by the wind. But as soon as she got into the car, surrounded by the soft seat cushions and backrest, fatigue and tiredness immediately surged up, and she fell asleep unknowingly. When Qin Shen woke her up, she was still a little reluctant, frowning and refusing to open her eyes.
Her frowning look made her look particularly weak and pitiful, which made Qin Shen soften his heart for a moment and wanted to let her continue sleeping. But in the end, reason prevailed, and he unbuckled her seat belt, leaned over and gently patted her cheek, coaxing her softly: "Be good, don't sleep here, go back to your room, otherwise you will catch a cold."
Xu Man's long, slightly curled eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Xiao Man?"
She slowly opened her eyes and met Qin Shen's gaze.
The beautiful eyes with misty watery meaning made the latter's heart beat violently, and then he smiled with tolerance and doting.
"Awake? Come, I'll take you upstairs."
…
Qin Shen accompanied Xu Man all the way to her doorstep. Considering that she had to get up early the next day to go to work at the detachment, he did not go in but stopped at the entrance to say goodbye to her.
"Have a good rest. If you feel unwell, take another day off. I'll pick you up downstairs tomorrow morning. Or the usual time?"
Xu Man had not yet fully woken up from her sleepiness. Her thoughts worked slowly for a while before she nodded and said "hmm".
He smiled and asked her, "What would you like to eat for breakfast?"
"Anything will do." She said slowly, "...dumplings, stuffed with pickled mustard greens."
The other party laughed dully: "Don't you want to eat steamed buns?"
"The buns are too dry," she muttered, "and not sweet either."
Qin Shen raised his eyebrows: "You asked for it this morning, and you looked very strange when I asked you, as if I asked a question that I shouldn't ask."
Xu Man responded vaguely. Qin Shen didn't hear clearly what she said, but he thought it was just a few words, nothing more than complaining or making excuses, or even a string of meaningless interjections. After all, she looked really sleepy.
"Then I'll pick you up downstairs with breakfast tomorrow." Seeing that she looked really tired, he didn't say anything more to her. He walked up to her, kissed her forehead, and said good night. "Have a good rest, and we'll see you tomorrow."
"You too." Xu Man seemed to be injected with a little vitality by his kiss. She raised her head and smiled at him, "You should have a good rest."
Qin Shen smiled and nodded at her, motioning her to close the door and go back to her room to sleep.
"And cigarettes," she continued, as if she had finally woken up from a long sleepiness, "I can't smoke anymore. Smoking is really bad for your health."
“I don’t smoke anymore.”
"I saw you take out the smoking cessation candy this afternoon and put it back again."
Qin Shen smiled: "Doesn't that just prove that I'm quitting smoking? I only bring candy, not cigarettes."
Xu Man: “…”
It seems to make sense, but——
"Then why did you put the candy back... don't you like it?"
"It's OK. It tastes pretty good." He replied, "It's just a little weird to eat candy at a crime scene, and it didn't give me any clues, so I put it back. After all, I eat that stuff to quit smoking, not to replace cigarettes. Otherwise, I'd be addicted to candy after quitting smoking, so it's better not to quit."
Xu Man couldn't find anything to say. He always had some impeccable reasons that always choked her speechless. This time was no exception. She could only purse her lips and admit defeat: "...Well, anyway, try to smoke less in the future. Smoking is really bad for your health. I'm not lying to you."
"I know." Qin Shen smiled and put his arm around her shoulders, lowering his head. "So I'm here for you to supervise me, right? What you said reminds me that today's inspection hasn't been carried out yet. How about it? Do you want to come and check it out?"
Two shallow dimples appeared on Xu Man's cheeks, and she looked at him with a dizzy look on her face.
If it was a week ago, this would have been a sign of rejection, and it would have been best to lower my head and be shy, neither refusing nor agreeing, and wait for him to kiss me actively. But things are different now. Her feelings for Qin Shen have grown stronger as time goes by, and she is no longer as thin-skinned as before. She put her hand on his chest, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a sweet kiss.
When Wen Xiang came to him, Qin Shen naturally accepted it all. He sucked the lips of the person in his arms and reached in to lick her. After several kisses, Xu Man had gradually begun to accumulate experience and learned to respond to him. He continued to guide and teach her, and the kiss was longer than the previous times. When it was over, Xu Man's lips were stained with the color of cherry, bright red, and moist.
"How's it going?" He leaned against her forehead, smiled hoarsely and whispered to her, "Did you pass the test today?"
Xu Man felt shy at this time, but not because of the kiss just now, but because of the words that followed.
"You passed." She answered quickly in a low voice, "Keep up the good work."
After saying that, she withdrew from his arms, closed the door and locked him outside, then stood at the door holding the door handle, blushing and her heart beating uncontrollably.
The lover's low laugh came through the door: "I will continue to work hard."
Xu Man smiled with her lips pursed, waves of joy and shyness surged into her heart, almost making her forget all the tiredness of the day.
Before she could savor the joy, Qin Shen knocked on the door twice: "I'm leaving, you have a good rest."
She was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that he would choose to leave. But after thinking about it, she felt that it was reasonable. He had already said goodbye to her and was ready to leave. It was she who brought up a new topic that prevented him from leaving. Now that they had finished talking and kissed, he should leave, right?
She put the peephole on and saw Qin Shen turn around and walk towards the elevator. The lights in the corridor dimmed after half a minute, and it seemed that he had really left.
However, this did not dampen her good mood at all. After locking the door, Xu Man went to the balcony and collected her clothes while looking downstairs.
Qin Shen's figure appeared as expected, but this time he did not stare at her from a distance. Instead, he drove away directly, only sending her a message a dozen seconds later.
Good night, my little princess
