So Mu Sen usually came here at night, and then stayed overnight at other homes in the village, and returned the next morning. Driving was very tiring, and the long journey of ten hours was very tiring. He was a policeman, so you can imagine how physically demanding it was.
Yu Yan always felt that this was very troublesome to him, and it was really unnecessary. She had lived here for a year and had everything she needed, and she lived very comfortably. He always brought her these things and came to see her every few days.
I always feel like it's very troublesome for him.
Mu Sen paused his eating for a moment, looked at Yu Yan, and asked cautiously, "Did I disturb you?"
Yu Yan looked at him with amusement. "It's so quiet here, and the space is so large. Why would you come here to disturb me? It's just that I think this place is too far from the city center. It takes five hours to drive here. And you have official business to attend to. Don't you think it's troublesome to always take time out to come and see me? There are also many mosquitoes in the village, and the environment is very noisy. You won't be able to sleep well at night, and it's easy to get into trouble if you drive five hours the next day. Besides, I really don't need anything here. You always buy things for me, which costs a lot. Why bother?"
Hearing that Yu Yan didn't dislike him, Mu Sen immediately smiled. "I'm a grown man, I'm not that pretentious. It doesn't matter where I live. Besides, I've already applied for a transfer. I plan to be transferred to the local police station. It's very close to here, only an hour away. I won't have to drive for a long time in the future. As for the things you buy, they are all things you girls need. After all, there is a shortage of supplies here. It's hard to buy good things, so I'll bring them to you on the way."
Mu Sen smiled and said, "You don't have to feel pressured. I'm a police officer. Serving the people is my duty. Just think of it as me doing my job."
Yu Yan was stunned by Mu Sen's words. She looked at him straight in disbelief and asked, "What did you say? You want to be transferred here, to this local police station?!"
Mu Sen didn't even stop eating. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm already working on the application. The result should be out within a week, the week after next. Then I can start my job here. See, how fast is that?"
Yu Yan completely lost interest in eating. He put his chopsticks down on the table and asked, "Why did you apply for a transfer? You're doing well in the city. You have a job you love and your dreams there. The salary and benefits are all very good. Besides, your family is there. What can you do here? The police station only investigates the safety of local residents and writes samples. It has nothing to do with major cases. You're essentially giving up your dreams, and the conditions here are so harsh. What are you trying to achieve?"
Compared to Yu Yan's excitement, Mu Sen seemed much calmer. He smiled and said, "Well, as a police officer, it doesn't matter where you work, it's the same. And as long as people are safe, the fewer cases the better, because that means fewer victims and more safety for citizens. How great! This place isn't too bad either. The air is good, there's not so much noise, and it's quiet. I like it very much. As for salary and benefits, I feed myself and my family. If I have more, I spend more, and if I have less, I spend less. It doesn't matter. I don't care. You forgot, my brother is Mr. Lu's assistant, with an annual salary of tens of millions. He supports my parents. It's more than enough. As for me, a lone man, just being able to make a living is enough."
"Is it because of me?"
Although Mu Sen tried his best to prove that he came here for many reasons, and he didn't care about fame and fortune, and it seemed that he chose this place just for the sake of peace and stability, but Yu Yan knew that he did it for her, because she was here, so he applied for transfer.
Mu Sen froze for a moment because of Yu Yan's words, but it was gone in a flash. In the blink of an eye, he put on a smile again and said carelessly, "How is it possible? I really only came here for peace and quiet. How could it be for you? You and I have no reason to be together, how could I change my job for you? Don't let your imagination run wild. I naturally have my own plans."
"What if I leave here?"
Mu Sen suddenly stopped talking, and he couldn't even force a smile on his face.
Chopsticks kept peeling the vegetables in the bowl. After a long silence, he said: "I am disturbing you. Are you bothered? If you don't like it, I... I..."
Mu Sen wanted to say, "If you don't like it, then I won't bother you again." But he found himself unable to say those words. He couldn't bear to really cut off contact with her. He had finally found her and met her, and he could be with her openly. Even if it was only a few days, just a chance like this, it was enough. At least he could see her. But if he really stayed away from her, then there would really be no chance again.
Mu Sen suddenly felt very sad. He had been with her for half a year, but she was finally tired of him.
Yu Yan didn't notice Mu Sen's change of mood and just said, "I don't dislike it, I just think it's very troublesome for you."
Mu Sen finally felt what it meant to be in heaven or hell in one thought.
Hearing her say that, his tense mood immediately relaxed. He looked at her and said with a smile: "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. I just like toss around. Besides, don't you think it's great here? I like it very much. There's nothing wrong with staying here. It's so comfortable."
