"Oh shit!" Xu Man was not the only one who noticed these two hot searches. Li Shijie, who was sitting at the same table, also exclaimed while looking at his phone, asking everyone to quickly open their phones to check out today's hot searches.
The people at the same table were obviously used to his noisy appearance. They opened their phones with half belief and half doubt. There was also a complaint from Zhao Jia, "Li Shijie, what are you doing again?" But after seeing today's hot topics, they were all shocked and made the same sigh as Li Shijie.
Qi Fei: "What the hell is this? When did Captain Qin become the most handsome criminal policeman in the country?"
Li Shijie: "Brother Qin is the most handsome! No, don't you fucking see the point? Is this the point? The point is that Brother Qin is famous, he is popular!"
"It's good to be handsome. You can easily become an Internet celebrity." Zhu Zhuo sighed, "Hey, what do you think? Should we wait for Captain Qin to come and take a few photos of him, then print some postcards and sell them? We can definitely make some money."
Li Shijie: "Get lost, Brother Qin doesn't live on his looks, he lives on his talent, talent!"
"I think you've missed the point." Zhao Jia said, holding up the phone and reading it word by word, "'Unfortunately, the little brother seems to have a girlfriend', it's saying that Captain Qin has a girlfriend, aren't you curious? Who is so capable that he could take down our mighty and unyielding Captain Qin?"
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Man with a teasing smile on her face. It was obvious that she already had the answer in her heart and asked the question purely because she wanted to watch the show.
Li Shijie immediately cooperated with a "hmm", "Who else could it be? Of course it's my beautiful, cute and smart little junior sister."
Qi Fei understood: "Oh, I see. I was wondering why I saw them at the scene yesterday. Captain Qin was holding Sister Xu's hand all the way down the mountain. How thoughtful."
Zhu Zhuo quickly replied, "Congratulations, Xiao Lizi, you have successfully been promoted from a senior brother to an apprentice. From now on, our Miss Xu is your sister-in-law, not your junior sister anymore."
Xu Man's face quickly turned red amid the teasing of the crowd, but she couldn't refute it because they were all telling the truth. Although the way they spoke the truth was a bit exaggerated, it was still the truth, leaving her with no reason and no confidence to refute it.
She could only pick up the plate and run away: "I'm full, I'm going back to the office first." She left everyone's ambiguous laughter behind and ignored them.
When she returned to the office, she was still worried that others might have seen the two hot posts and noticed the blogger's words "having a girlfriend". Fortunately, the atmosphere in the office was normal. Colleagues were either resting or handling work. Even when they were looking at their phones, they were very quiet. This made her feel at ease and she returned to her seat trying not to cause any noise.
She opened the work group and saw that some people were already talking about this matter, and were scrolling through the screen rapidly, with most of them being jokes and likes. Occasionally there were one or two questions about Qin Shen's girlfriend, and they only received a few ambiguous answers from the crowd. Although the characteristics of these answers pointed to the fact that anyone with a discerning eye would know that they were talking about her, not explicitly saying her name or tagging her was already considered good, as it allowed her to catch her breath.
The fact that she and Qin Shen are dating has not yet been made public in the detachment. In the eyes of outsiders, no matter how ambiguous they are, they are not a couple. They are just ordinary superiors and subordinates. They may tease each other in private, but they will naturally restrain themselves in places like work groups.
Now all she had to do was pray that Li Shijie and the others wouldn't suddenly get crazy and tell everyone in the group that she was dating Qin Shen... But even if they did, she wouldn't be angry. It was a fact that she was dating Qin Shen, and it couldn't be hidden for long. It was better for Qin Shen to stay at home now. When he returned to the detachment and worked in the same place as her, the unusual atmosphere and interaction between a couple would definitely be noticed by others.
And there was nothing to hide, the two of them were just dating normally.
After figuring this out, Xu Man was no longer nervous. She closed the work group, looked at the two hot posts again, and after looking at all the nine photos with an appreciative eye, she took a screenshot and sent it to Qin Shen, adding a joking remark: [Captain, you are going to be famous~]
Qin Shen did not reply to her immediately. She did not care at first because his phone was always on silent due to his work. It would only vibrate when there was an incoming call, and all other message notifications were silent. It was normal not to see the message she sent for a while, but she waited from noon to afternoon, for more than three hours, and did not receive any reply from the other party, so she became a little confused.
It's strange. He doesn't have anything to do, so how come he hasn't heard from me for so long? Did you see it but don’t want to reply? That's impossible, he's not like that.
That means he really didn’t see it... Is he busy? Or taking a nap?
Xu Man found that she had become a little dependent on Qin Shen. She would feel uncomfortable if she couldn't contact him for a long time.
Since they confirmed their relationship, they basically talk on the phone for more than half an hour every night, and message each other even more frequently. There is only one situation where the phone calls and messages don't go through: when they are face to face together and don't need to use any communication tools to keep in touch.
But now it is obviously not the case, and I haven't heard that he has the habit of taking a nap. Is he really busy? If it’s something that happens within the team, then it must be something that happens within the family?
She thought about it carefully and felt that this possibility did exist, so she felt relieved. However, she still edited another message and sent it: [Are you busy? Why don’t you reply my message? 】
Looking at the message bubbles that had been sent out, Xu Man once again felt the changes that had taken place since she and Qin Shen started dating. If it were in the past, if the other party ignored the message she sent for a long time, she would at most send a message "Are you busy?" and would not add the second half of the sentence. Even with Tian Si, she rarely communicated with the other party like this, because the tone of this sentence seemed like a question, with a bit of accusation, and she didn't want to give others a bad feeling.
She has always been courteous and polite in dealing with people. From childhood to adulthood, almost all of her relatives praised her for being well-behaved and sensible, but politeness represents alienation and politeness represents distance. Only when facing people with whom she has a close enough relationship will she feel at ease and bold to act coquettishly with the other person, and occasionally lose a little temper that is harmless.
She had three such people before, her parents and her childhood friend Tian Si, and now there is another one, Qin Shen. And unlike the previous three, when facing Qin Shen, her attitude would be a little more willful. This kind of willfulness was not conscious, but usually she did it unconsciously. She would not realize it until later, and it was too late to regret it. But seeing that Qin Shen had never shown impatience, and even showed an attitude of liking to obey her, she gradually abandoned that caution, and treated him more intimately and casually.
He was like a spell that made her addicted to him. If someone had told her before she came to Minnesota that she would like someone so much, she would definitely not believe it, but it happened.
She confided her feelings to Tian Si, who responded sharply: [Nonsense, Miss Xu, you have been single for twenty years. Once you fall in love, don't you have to invest all the emotions you have accumulated over the years into the other person? This is called the first love spell in academic terms. The older you are, the stronger the effect becomes, and it is doubly enhanced in women.
Tian Si: [The dam that has been filled with water for twenty years finally has a small hole, so it is bound to burst, right?]
Xu Man: […After hearing what you said, I feel like I have lost my passion for love…]
Tian Si: [Haha, you only say that now. When you meet your captain, the fire of love will be rekindled.]
Before Xu Man could comment on this, Tian Si sent her another message.
Tian Si: [To be honest, I’m actually quite conflicted right now, you know? 】
She was puzzled: [What? 】
Tian Si: [On the one hand, I want you to enjoy this rare love experience; but on the other hand, I want to advise you not to invest too much emotion in one person. You are doing well now, but what if you are blind, or your captain has a genetic mutation and suddenly becomes a scumbag? The more you invest your emotion, the greater the harm you will suffer.]
Xu Man's heart tightened when she heard her words, and she subconsciously replied: [He wouldn't be like that]
Tian Si: [I knew you would say that. But it's normal. Generally, young girls like you who are in their first love have this idea. Many girls will continue to be so naive after being deceived by scumbags.]
Tian Si: [And don't be nervous. I'm just giving an example, making an assumption with a probability of less than 1%. From what you usually say, it seems that your captain is quite reliable and has received a good family education. You are right to choose him.]
Xu Man was confused by her contradictory words, [What did you just say to me about becoming a scumbag? ...Sisi, what do you want to say? Let me be frank, you know I am not as knowledgeable as you in this area.]
This time Tian Si did not reply immediately. Just when Xu Man thought that she would ignore her message like Qin Shen, she sent a long string of voice messages.
It was not convenient to play the voice chat outside the office, so Xu Man clicked on the button to convert it to text. Surprisingly, the recognition was quite accurate, with no typos or misinterpreted words.
"Alas, I am now in the state of an old mother, feeling like my daughter whom I have raised for twenty years is about to be snatched away by someone else. At first, I saw that the buyer was quite nice, and I was quite excited. I thought it was great that such a person liked my daughter. It made my daughter look great. Now that I see that he wants to take you away and never give you back, I am beginning to worry again. What if he treats you badly, and what if you get hurt and become autistic from now on? After all, this is your first time in love, and you don't know anything and it's easy to be deceived."
Xu Man: [Well, but this is also his first time to fall in love, not just me]
Xu Man: [If I am easily deceived by him, then is he also easily deceived by me? 】
Tian Si: [……]
Tian Si: [Are you his first love? 】
Xu Man: [I think so, right? He said he didn’t date before because he wasn’t interested in those girls and only liked me.
Tian Si: [……]
Tian Si: [Are you sure? 】
Xu Man: [Are you sure? He told me so himself. I feel like there’s no need for him to lie to me about this. Having an ex-girlfriend isn’t a big deal. There’s no need to lie to him.]
Tian Si: [Hello, first love, goodbye, first love]
Tian Si: [I am a woman with a broken heart, so I am not suitable to be friends with a winner in life like you]
Tian Si: [“Your friend Tian Si has deleted your information and refuses to receive any more messages from you. Please contact me again in a hundred years. Thank you and goodbye.”]
