Chapter 86: Object, is Aoba dating someone?
There were no surprises, but more shocks.
He walked into the living room and looked at his mother who was in her forties but still as childish as a child. He smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you here? And you didn't even notify me in advance?"
Ms. Lu Shangying smiled and said, "Of course I came to see my baby son. If I had told you in advance, there would be no surprise, right?"
Yue Lingchuan rubbed his forehead, thinking that he was still surprised. He almost thought that it was someone related to the previous case who came to take revenge.
He asked, "You came here by yourself? When did you arrive?"
Ms. Lu said, "Your father's driver brought me here. He arrived at about three o'clock."
Yue Lingchuan frowned and said with some disapproval: "You came without notifying me. Fortunately, I am done with my work today. If it was the case in the past two days, I would not come back until late at night every day, and sometimes even sleep in the office. Where would you find me?"
"Oh, I must have asked around, I came here knowing that you have time. Besides, I also have the key to your house, so even if you're not at home, I won't end up on the street." Ms. Lu came close to her youngest son, her well-maintained eyes sparkling: "Why did you come back at this time? Have you had dinner?"
"Yes, I did. I closed a case today and took a few colleagues out for dinner. I just sent them home." Yue Lingchuan asked her, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. You don't have to worry about me!" Ms. Lu waved her hand and asked him, "What about you? You've been busy for so long. Can you finally take a break?"
Yue Lingchuan said: "I have two days off, nothing to do."
Ms. Lu smiled immediately: "That's perfect. Mr. Deng will be having his 80th birthday in a couple of days. You can go with me."
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Mr. Deng?"
He thought about it and finally dug out this person from his memory. He probably had some cooperation with their family.
Yue Lingchuan couldn't help laughing: "You came here just for this matter? You can tell me and I will go there to give a gift. Why bother you to come here in person?"
The provincial capital is not very close to Pingjiang, and it takes several hours to drive there. His mother has never liked riding in the car, especially long-distance rides.
Ms. Lu glanced at him unhappily when she heard this: "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it because someone hasn't been home for several months since the Chinese New Year? I miss you so much that I have to come and see you in person, right?"
Yue Lingchuan touched his nose, feeling a little guilty for a moment: "What you said is true, I'm busy recently..."
"Busy, busy, busy." Ms. Lu rolled her eyes at him. "You can fool others with this, but you want to fool me? I just asked you to come back for a blind date, but you act like you want to kill me."
Yue Lingchuan was helpless: "I really don't have that intention... Besides, even if we go on a blind date, I will definitely stay in Pingjiang a lot in the future. Will the girl be willing?"
Ms. Lu said, "Why don't you look for him in Pingjiang? You're already 28 years old. You used to use the excuse that your brother wasn't married and you didn't worry about it. Now your brother has a child and you still haven't made any move!"
"Although your brother got married late, he had two relationships when he was in school. What about you? I have never seen you get close to any girl since you were a child. I even suspect that you like boys!"
Yue Lingchuan laughed: "Mom——"
"I'm 28, not 18! I'll be 30 soon!" Ms. Lu sighed and turned her head away: "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. You're just making me angry for no reason."
Yue Lingchuan had no choice but to coax her: "It's my fault, it's my fault."
Lu Shangying said sarcastically: "What's wrong with you? Captain Yue may be patient. Three third-class merits and one second-class merit. How many people envy him."
Yue Lingchuan could only smile and try to comfort others.
Ms. Lu finally said, "Mr. Deng's birthday is coming up in a few days, so you have to go with me!"
Yue Lingchuan vaguely knew what she was thinking. He felt helpless but had to respond on the surface.
......
Another villa area.
Shen Qingye said she wanted to take Xiao Shitou out, but in fact she stayed at home for two days after returning home. If Shen Linyue hadn't forced her to stay, she probably wouldn't even want to leave the villa.
On the third day, Shen Linyue finally couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her up early in the morning. Shen Qingye groaned and was unwilling to get up, wanting to continue staying in bed, so Shen Linyue said directly: "Hurry up and get up, or you will get moldy if you stay in the room any longer!"
Shen Qingye pulled open the quilt a little and yawned lazily: "Why are you waking me up so early?"
Shen Linyue said: “There is a banquet in the evening, you come with me.”
Shen Qingye opened his eyes and looked at her: "What party?"
Shen Linyue sat on the bedside: “It’s Mr. Deng’s 80th birthday.”
Shen Qingye was startled, then sobered up a little: "Oh, eightieth birthday!"
Chen Linyue said: "That's right, this is a big deal, the Deng family has already sent out invitations."
"It has to be a big event." Shen Qingye said, yawning again and covering his head with the quilt: "But isn't the banquet in the evening? Why do you want me to do it now? I'll sleep a little longer..."
Shen Linyue pulled the quilt and squinted her eyes and said, “If you want to attend the banquet, just go directly to it?”
Shen Qingye blinked and looked at her.
"Don't you need to do your styling? Don't you need to buy clothes?" She was about to pull the quilt down and said, "Hurry up and get up. I'll go buy you some clothes!"
Shen Qingye muttered, holding on to the quilt and refusing to let go: "Don't I have clothes?"
"Can you call those clothes? Who are you embarrassing by wearing those to a banquet?" Chen Linyue said, "Hurry up and get up!"
Shen Qingye begged, "Let me sleep a little longer. I'll go in the afternoon. It's still in time!"
Shen Linyue paused in pulling the quilt, lowered her eyes and looked at her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a dangerous tone: "Can you get up?"
Shen Qingye wrapped himself up, leaving only his fair face exposed. He looked at her with his dark eyes and shook his head cautiously.
Shen Linyue took a deep breath, then raised her hand and reached out to Shen Qingye's armpit.
“Ahhh mom mom hahahaha mom please let go of me, I’m getting up, I’m getting up—”
Shen Qingye rolled around on the bed with her hair disheveled, but she could not escape from her mother's clutches. She used her hands and feet to roll and crawl, hiding in the corner of the bed. The corners of her eyes were covered with a red mist, and she gasped for mercy: "I'll get up, I'll get up!"
She opened her eyes wide, her hair was messy and her face was flushed, like a frightened little animal, and looked at Shen Linyue warily: "Don't mess with me!"
Shen Linyue sat on the bed and snorted, looking down at her condescendingly: “Dead girl, can’t I deal with you?”
"Get up quickly!"
Shen Qingye curled her lips, slammed heavily on the bed, and muttered helplessly: "Get up, get up, get up right away."
As she spoke, she turned over in a gulp, and Shen Linyue tapped her forehead: “Hurry up, Aunt Chen has already prepared breakfast!”
Shen Qingye wrinkled his nose at her, rolled his eyes, and said in a long voice: "I know!"
She grunted and seemed very dissatisfied. Shen Linyue shook her head helplessly and turned to leave when her eyes suddenly went dark.
"ha!"
The next moment, she was pulled down forcefully and bounced straight onto the bed. Before Shen Linyue could react, a pair of hands had already reached out and were scratching her armpits!
The mother and daughter were almost ticklish in the same vein. Shen Linyue's face froze and she spoke angrily:
"Shen Qingye - you damn girl, get up!"
The room was suddenly in chaos, with pillows and quilts scattered everywhere. Mr. Shen, who was sophisticated and capable in the eyes of outsiders, and Officer Shen, who was steady and reliable in the eyes of his colleagues, started fighting like children under the quilt, using everything at hand as tools and shouting non-stop.
"You'll tickle me!"
"Shen Qingye, are you looking for a fight? Hiss - stop tickling me -"
The chaos lasted for an unknown amount of time until Aunt Chen heard the noise and ran over in a hurry: "What happened?"
She pushed the door open and saw that everything was suddenly silent, and the mother and daughter's playfulness stopped.
Shen Qingye's hair was messy, like a little madman. Shen Linyue pulled the quilt covering her head off with force. She noticed Aunt Chen's hesitant look at the door and felt embarrassed.
Aunt Chen shook her head and said nothing. She only said tactfully, "...the food will be cold soon. If you want to play...wait until tonight."
Shen Linyue watched Aunt Chen slowly turn around and leave, her forehead twitched, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Shen-Qing-Ye!"
Shen Qingye immediately jumped under the bed like a monkey, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran out of the door in a hurry:
"I'm going to wash up!"
Chen Linyue looked at her back that disappeared in an instant, feeling angry and amused. She stretched out her hand to straighten her messy hair. After a while, she couldn't help but laughed and cursed: "Dead girl!"
......
At the dining table, Shen Qingye was eating the steamed dumplings made by Aunt Chen while glancing at Shen Linyue who had just come down from upstairs, grinning with a flattering look.
Shen Linyue rolled her eyes at her unhappily: “What are you looking at? Eat your meal!”
Shen Qingye didn't dare to stroke the tiger's beard at this time. He responded very obediently and ate his meal.
Aunt Chen, who was watching from the side, shook her head helplessly.
This mother and daughter...
After dinner, Shen Linyue first took Shen Qingye to a custom clothing store to try on the dress she had ordered for Shen Qingye. After confirming that there was no problem, she took her to the mall to buy some seasonal casual clothes.
Shen Qingye had no interest in buying clothes, but couldn't stand Shen Linyue's enthusiasm, so she went from store to store, with more and more bags in her hands. In the end, she had no choice but to put them away temporarily.
After trying on one piece of clothing after another, Shen Qingye was exhausted and felt even more tired than usual on missions.
After much persuasion, Shen Linyue finally convinced him to stop here today after visiting the last store. Not long after leaving the store, she ran into a middle-aged lady who was dressed appropriately:
"Yeah, Mr. Shen!"
The other party spoke in surprise, and Shen Linyue also put on her usual decent smile to the outside world, stepped forward and said: “What a coincidence, I met Mrs. Zhou here.”
Mrs. Zhou's eyebrows curved slightly, and she smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, but I haven't seen Mr. Shen for a long time."
She glanced at Shen Qingye behind her and smiled gently: "Is this Qingye? I haven't seen you for a while. You look much prettier now."
Shen Qingye had some impression of her, and smiled when she heard it: "Aunt Fang hasn't changed at all, she still looks so young and beautiful."
“You are such a good talker, kid!” The smile on Mrs. Zhou’s face suddenly became more intense, and she looked at Shen Linyue and said, “It’s rare to see Qingye at ordinary times. Are you here to buy something today?”
Shen Linyue smiled: “She is usually busy and rarely has a break, so I brought her here to pick out some clothes and go shopping.”
Mrs. Zhou sighed when she heard this, "Girls are still the best. Unlike my boy, he looks so reluctant when I ask him to accompany me shopping."
As she spoke, she glared at the tall boy following behind her. The other party was obviously helpless, and called out in a long voice: "Mom——"
"Aren't I just accompanying you for a good stroll?"
Madam Zhou snorted, "Don't say that. You said you were accompanying me for a stroll, but did you really pay attention to me? I'm afraid your mind has already flown away."
The boy was speechless for a moment.
Chen Linyue also laughed at the side: "My girl is not a worry-free person either. She is usually busy and I can't see her for half a month. She is even busier than me. It's not easy to take a vacation. I took her out, but she was reluctant."
"Hey, Qingye's job is special. It's like this for all policemen." Mrs. Zhou looked at Shen Qingye with a loving look: "Not to mention Qingye is a criminal policeman, so he must be hardworking and tired."
Shen Linyue said: “I just want her to be safe and sound.”
Mrs. Zhou also nodded: "As a parent, isn't this what we want?"
She then said, "Come to think of it, Qingye is also... 23 this year, right?"
Shen Linyue nodded: "Yes, twenty-three."
Mrs. Zhou smiled: "That's one year older than our Yuanfeng... Are you dating?"
Shen Qingye paused, but Shen Linyue's eyes moved, and then she said helplessly: "What to talk about, she is too busy to go home all day, and she needs time to talk about a partner if she wants to."
Shen Qingye smiled in agreement, seeming a little embarrassed.
Madam Zhou said, "That's true. But Qingye is good-looking and has outstanding abilities, so she must have many suitors, right?"
Shen Linyue said helplessly: "She usually deals with dead people or murderers in her work, where would she get any suitors from?"
She stroked her daughter's hair and added, "She's only 23 anyway, she's still young, I'm not in a hurry."
Mrs. Zhou's eyes sparkled, but her smile remained unchanged: "Yes, she is still young, and your daughter is so outstanding, so you have to stay for two more years."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Yuanfeng behind her and sighed, "Unlike my brat, who is about to graduate, but is still so distracted all day long. I don't know what he wants to do all day long!"
As she spoke, she patted her son's arm again and said unhappily, "Learn more from your sister Qingye. Look how hard she works!"
Zhou Yuanfeng looked at the girl who was not much older than him and couldn't really call her sister. Hearing this, he could only helplessly say, "Yes, yes, yes, oh, mom, let's go first. Didn't you say you still have to get your hair done?"
"Stinky boy, why are you in such a hurry?" Madam Zhou staggered when he pulled her. Seeing the faint smile on Chen Linyue's face, she knew that she didn't mean that. She couldn't say anything more, so she exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving.
After the figure disappeared, Shen Linyue looked back at her daughter and couldn't help but chuckled.
Shen Qingye looked innocent: "What are you doing?"
Shen Linyue rubbed her head again, and said with a sigh: "I just didn't expect that you have already reached the point where others are thinking about you."
Shen Qingye curled her lips: "Or maybe I just don't like this kind of occasion..."
Chen Linyue smiled, "That's not up to you. You've graduated and are working now. There will definitely be more and more people who want to come and find out about you in the future."
After all, she is Shen Linyue's daughter. She is confident in both her family background and her own abilities.
"What about you? What kind do you like? Mom will pick it out for you in advance?"
Shen Linyue joked, and Shen Qingye said helplessly: "Please don't, I don't have that kind of thought for the time being..."
Are you still picking? Are you trying to choose a concubine?
Chen Linyue said: "I don't care about you, just don't be like the little girl of the Wang family and fall in love with a man who is not good in any way."
Shen Qingye couldn't help but said, "I'm not stupid, your daughter. I'm a criminal policeman after all. If nothing else, I still have some vision for people, right?"
......
The mother and daughter walked away slowly. In a store upstairs, Ms. Lu came out after buying clothes. Seeing her son looking down, she asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Yue Lingchuan retracted his gaze: "It's okay." He glanced at the bag in her hand: "Have you bought it?"
Lu Shangying nodded, and looked downstairs again. His eyes, which looked 50% like Yue Lingchuan's, narrowed and he asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you're looking at the girl downstairs?"
Yue Lingchuan was helpless: "What are you thinking about?"
He paused and said, "That was my colleague just now. I know him. I just glanced at him a few more times."
"Colleague?" Ms. Lu was surprised: "There are girls in your criminal police team?"
Yue Lingchuan nodded: "She just came in, a little girl."
Lu Shangying hissed, turned his eyes, and looked at him curiously: "Then you and her..."
Yue Lingchuan stopped: "Mom——"
Lu Shangying immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I won't ask you anything."
She paused, and couldn't help but say, "Good for the detective. It's so rare that the detective doesn't dislike your work..."
Yue Lingchuan felt helpless and amused. He didn't say anything. However, when he thought of the scene he had just seen, his heart moved slightly.
I haven't heard Xiao Shen say that she has a boyfriend. The guy just now should be someone the elders only know?
