Chapter 11 Fight and Admit Defeat
Having obtained specific clues, Gu Yiliu ordered the chickens to disperse.
Cluck cluck! Cluck cluck!
The chickens were a little reluctant to leave; it was the first time they had encountered someone who could understand them.
"Officer, could you ask the boss to prepare more fruit for us this summer? Last year's watermelons were so delicious, so sweet!"
"Yes, yes, yes, and it would be best to have a variety of fruits!" Gu Yiliu: "..."
Han Yi looked at the ground without showing any emotion. A summer and a winter had passed, and the watermelon rinds from last summer were nowhere to be seen, but what these chickens said should be true.
Gu Yiliu dismissed the chickens, looked at Han Yi, and raised their still-holding hands in front of them, "Aren't you going to let go?"
Han Yi glanced at her, his gaze slowly shifting from her to the scattering chickens, before turning back to look at Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu watched his actions and initially found them inexplicable, but Han Yi's gaze was so direct that her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He glanced suddenly at the flock of chickens, then at the two people's clasped hands, but then thought it was impossible.
She looked at Han Yi with a shocked expression, but her eyes held a hint of hesitation.
Han Yi left You Guang, who was watching the commotion a few hundred meters away, calmly withdrew his gaze, and released Gu Yiliu's hand. "Let's go."
As You Guang watched, he belatedly realized that he shouldn't have been standing there. He had been following behind, and he had clearly seen Han Yi holding Comrade Gu's hand. He also knew that Han Yi didn't want to let go of Gu Yiliu's hand.
He touched his head, then turned and walked out.
"Han Yi, you..." Gu Yiliu was so shocked by his own suspicions that he stammered, "You, you wouldn't, you shouldn't be..."
"Go tell the chicken farm owner to go home and rest early; there's a tough battle to fight in the second half of the night," Han Yi said.
Upon hearing the words "late at night," Gu Yiliu's lips trembled. She watched as he suddenly took a step back. In those few seconds, the more she thought about it, the more terrifying Han Yi seemed. Seeing that the distance between them was less than a safe distance, Gu Yiliu took several more steps back, assuming a fighting stance.
She mentally called the system.
Seeing her wary attitude, Han Yi reassured her, "You don't need to be afraid of me."
Gu Yiliu frowned, turned around and walked towards the edge of the chicken farm. Han Yi watched her back and followed her.
Gu Yiliu's mind was in turmoil. She felt that the problem between them was too thorny. She couldn't ask him directly anymore, but she also couldn't let him covet the system she had. So she had to think of a way, but with Han Yi beside her, she couldn't think of anything and quickly caught up with You Guang. Han Yi paused, but didn't catch up, only falling a few steps behind the two in front.
The three found the chicken farm owner, Qian Yijun, in the temporary rest room of the chicken farm. It was mainly Han Yi who said, "Boss, we have some clues. Our police station will be here at midnight tonight to try to catch the chicken thief before dawn tomorrow."
After listening, the boss readily agreed, "What do you need me to do?"
Han Yi told him not to alert the enemy, but then he paused, glancing at Gu Yiliu, and asked Qian Yijun, "Mr. Qian, your chicken farm is so big, how do you quench the thirst of so many chickens in the summer?"
Gu Yiliu was already prepared, and now that she was confirming it again, she had only one thought in her mind. She looked at her palm and slowly clenched it.
She silently stepped back, distancing herself from Han Yi, while secretly eavesdropping.
Qian Yijun: "I buy some fruit wholesale to feed them. If I put alcohol in the water, it will get dirty, and the chickens won't drink it if it's dirty. But it's different with fruit. My friend happens to grow some fruit, so I buy it wholesale to feed the chickens. Fruit is convenient and quenches their thirst."
"Was it watermelon they fed you? I saw watermelon rinds on the ground, and the chickens were fighting over them." Han Yi asked with a smile, hiding the inquisitive look in his eyes.
Qian Yijun didn't notice and nodded.
"I think the chickens at the chicken farm really like watermelons, so Mr. Qian could consider feeding them more."
Qian Yijun laughed and said, "I have this plan. My friend told me that this year's watermelon harvest is going to be bumper, so I plan to get more this year and sell some in Dongshan County. If Han Gong'an wants to eat some, he can come to me."
Han Yi did not refuse.
The two exchanged a few more words before ending the conversation. Han Yi and his group then left the chicken farm.
When Gu Yiliu left, he still rode in Han Yi's car.
The two bicycles were traveling one after the other, with Han Yi and Gu Yiliu behind and You Guang in front. You Guang was riding very fast and did not notice that Han Yi's bicycle was far behind him.
Gu Yiliu knew the bicycle had slowed down, but she didn't say anything to remind him. She thought he would stop and inquire about her, but Han Yi didn't stop.
I leisurely rode my bicycle back to the county town. I parked my old bicycle in front of a small courtyard facing the street. The courtyard had a well-concealed wall, which, while facing the street, ensured privacy.
Gu Yiliu got out of the car, glanced at him, and warned, "If you dare to reveal..."
"I have something I want to tell you..."
The two spoke in unison.
Gu Yiliu looked at him coldly, "What did you say?"
"Can we talk inside?" Han Yi asked seriously. "We can't let too many people know about this."
Gu Yiliu chuckled coldly to himself, realizing that the other party had indeed found out.
But how did they know? Gu Yiliu mentally called out to the system, asking if it had found the reason.
The system was also at a loss. It was shocked when it discovered this, but after searching for a long time, it had no clue. It was impossible. It had only chosen Gu Yiliu as its host. No one else could communicate with the animals as seamlessly as Gu Yiliu.
"Host, Dian Dian has a rough idea, but it's still being verified. Please give me some more time!"
"What conjecture?"
The system remained silent.
Gu Yiliu looked at Han Yi and nodded silently.
Han Yi opened the courtyard gate, and Gu Yiliu stepped inside.
The courtyard gate opened and then closed again.
“You don’t need to bother, I don’t drink tea right now. We can start talking now.” Gu Yiliu watched him make tea.
After entering the house, Han Yi began brewing tea on his own. It must be said that his tea-brewing movements were quite pleasing to the eye, and Gu Yiliu felt very calm watching him.
She was curious how he knew her secret.
How do you know...?
Han Yi skillfully poured the tea into the cup, filling it to about seven-tenths full. He gestured for her to try it.
Gu Yiliu looked at the tea in the cup. The tea soup was golden and bright, and she smelled a rich aroma that made her mouth water.
She couldn't resist picking up the teacup and taking a big gulp. The tea had a slightly sweet aftertaste. "Delicious, the craftsmanship is excellent."
Han Yi saw her movements and smiled, "It's not Jin Jun Mei today."
Gu Yiliu looked up at him and asked, "What's that?"
"Junshan Silver Needle".
Han Yi picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said, "This is my favorite tea. It has excellent color, aroma, and flavor, and a long aftertaste. It's perfect for savoring."
Gu Yiliu said coldly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"..." Han Yi suddenly felt like laughing; he thought it was quite cute.
"Let's get down to business."
Han Yi smiled and said, "Okay."
He said, "I heard it after I shook your hand, that voice in your heart, and... what those chickens were saying, but I'm not sure if it's true or not. If you want to confirm, I can help you."
Cooperate? Does that mean he wants to shake his hand again? Gu Yiliu wasn't happy about that; the person in front of him was a ticking time bomb. "What are your thoughts?"
Han Yi shook his head, meeting her gaze, "I don't have any thoughts on these things."
I don't believe it.
Han Yi frankly said, "Let me put it another way. I don't have any thoughts on these things for the time being, but your special ability is very useful for solving cases."
Gu Yiliu: "You can't tell anyone. If I find out, or anyone else finds out, you'll be sorry." She gave him a cold smile.
Han Yi didn't miss the murderous intent in her eyes. Remembering her earlier wariness of him, a realization dawned on him. "You were thinking..."
He raised his right hand, making a gesture of closure.
Gu Yiliu gave him a look that said, "You know it."
Han Yi suddenly laughed, and watched as she laughed more and more heartily.
Seeing his smile annoyed him, Gu Yiliu stood up without another word and waved at him, "What are you laughing at? You think I'm joking?"
Han Yi: "I wasn't laughing at you, I just thought you were cute. I know you want to kill me."
"Let's have a fight."
Gu Yiliu remained standing, gave him a defiant look, and said contemptuously, "If you don't fight, you're not a man!"
"Okay!" Han Yi replied earnestly. As for her comment that she "wasn't a man," he didn't react much.
He could tell she really wanted to fight. His fighting spirit was ignited; "Fight with all my might!"
Gu Yiliu snorted at him twice, of course she would.
She quickly approached him, delivering a powerful horizontal kick aimed directly at the man's sculpted chin. Han Yi stepped back, raised his hand, and grabbed the man's chin just in time.
With his right leg grabbed, Gu Yiliu spun around and kicked Han Yi's leg with his left leg. Han Yi parried and barely avoided being hit in a vital spot.
Han Yi looked at the base of his left hand, which was numb from the shock. He had caught her flying kick earlier, but he hadn't expected her to be so strong. Even when he parried her kick, he could feel the considerable force.
Han Yi was filled with a burning fighting spirit. He switched from defense to offense. His target was her hands. He approached step by step with a grappling technique. Just as he was about to grab her, she twisted her hand in the opposite direction. Of course, Han Yi would not sit idly by and wait to be defeated. He used her force against her and grabbed her hand upwards.
He froze after grabbing her, then quickly backed away. "You..." His face flushed crimson, his gaze sweeping over her chest.
"Sorry. Do whatever you want after this fight."
Next, Han Yi changed his offensive, but every time he tried to grab her hand, she either chopped it away with a palm strike or grabbed his hand in return.
Every move was fierce and powerful.
"You were hiding this so well in school before?" Han Yi reached out and grabbed her shoulder. Gu Yiliu let him grab her and used the momentum to get closer and fight him.
The two fought like hand-to-hand combat, each strike delivered with force, from their hands to their legs.
"Aren't you the same?" Gu Yiliu threw the question at him. "You're pretending too!"
Although she had no recollection of the moves she learned at school, this body possessed physical memory. When she used the moves she learned at school, her body could react to the second move as soon as she made the first move, but she had modified them all.
Too mild, not suitable for a fight. Han Yi's moves are the same; they're clearly not something he learned in school.
Han Yi chuckled, then quickly swept his foot away after breaking free from the encirclement of kicks.
"My dad taught me that, what about you?"
"Guess!" She winked at him, and Han Yi paused. Gu Yiliu knew that it was at this moment that she bent down, lay on the ground, and kicked him directly in the side.
Han Yi was kicked and staggered back several steps. Gu Yiliu quickly stood up and kicked him to the ground in a few moves.
She stomped her foot on his chest. "Do you believe me? I didn't even use my full strength."
Han Yi glanced at the foot on his chest, then looked at Gu Yiliu's sweat-drenched face, and smiled.
His face was covered in sweat; he had hit it with all his might.
Han Yi felt the pain in his body and knew she was telling the truth. "How much force did you use?"
"About 50%."
Han Yi was truly shocked this time. He stopped laughing and looked at Gu Yiliu. He thought that Gu Yiliu should have used at least 80%, but it turned out that he only used 50%.
Han Yi lay on the ground, looking up at her; she was practically a thunder queen. He wiped the sweat from his face and couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you going to admit defeat?" Gu Yiliu pressed down hard on his foot.
Han Yi, caught in the brunt of the kick, coughed, and said, "I give up."
At the same time, the system's voice sounded.
"Host, I've found it. It's all the system's fault. When you were drunk and forcibly kissed him, I took advantage of the situation. So as long as you two have intimate contact, you can share some functions. I'm sorry, host, it's all my fault!" Dian Dian's voice was full of apology.
Gu Yiliu was taken aback and looked at Han Yi.
Han Yi also looked at her, his expression complicated.
"...Did you hear that?"
