Xiao Yihan's forehead was covered in even more punctuation marks; she was furious.
Isn't it just about saying hello to your boyfriend?
good!
Mom kept pressing me, and Dad joined in the fun too.
Then let's fight!
Xiao Yihan turned around abruptly, glanced around, and found that her colleagues were all busy and none of them had a moment to spare. She glanced around again and found that none of the people who came to report the case were familiar to her.
With a final, sudden sweep, the tiger turned its head. Xia Che, who had been eavesdropping on the gossip behind it, was startled by the sight and shrank back, turning to run away.
It's all over, it ......
Caught eavesdropping on law enforcement officers' gossip, this is unacceptable!
Xiao Yihan's fox-like eyes gradually narrowed. Hmm... none of her colleagues were available, and there were no other familiar faces, so there was only Xia Che, whom she had just greeted.
This kid looks clean-cut and quite refined, and he speaks very politely. When he shook hands with me just now, he only shook hands briefly and then let go. These habits are enough to show that Xia Che is well-mannered.
or……
Is he the one?
With her mind racing, Xiao Yihan reached out and grabbed Xia Che's shoulder as he was about to run away. Feeling his body stiffen instantly, Xiao Yihan covered her phone, leaned close to Xia Che, and whispered urgently, "Shh, don't run, do me a favor."
"What...what kind of help?"
Xia Che became even more nervous. Seeing Xiao Yihan so close to him, he immediately smelled a pleasant fragrance, like the scent of osmanthus.
He glanced at Xiao Yihan suspiciously, but didn't see any anger on her face. Was it because she found out he was eavesdropping and wanted to punish him?
"I know it might seem abrupt to ask you for help, but I really can't find anyone else to do it."
Xiao Yihan bit her red lips lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Could you pretend to be my boyfriend for a moment?"
"You don't need to do much. You just need to say hello to my parents and have dinner with me on the weekend. Please, please, I really can't find anyone else."
Xiao Yihan's eyes were full of pleading, and her pitiful appearance made it really hard for anyone to refuse her.
Xia Che was very tempted, and then...
I chose to refuse.
"I sympathize with you, but never mind... I'm just here to pay the fine, and I'll be leaving after I do. Please find someone else. I'm really sorry."
Xia Che keenly sensed something was amiss. The policewoman who had come to him wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend.
This whole thing seems a bit unusual...
Xia Che was very self-aware; he would generally keep his distance from any benefits that were offered to him.
Because behind these benefits, there are usually hidden troubles.
Big trouble.
"you……"
Xiao Yihan was indeed dumbfounded. She was very confident in her charm. If she weren't so busy right now, who knows how many people would be fighting tooth and nail to help her with something like this. But Xia Che didn't even consider it and rejected her outright.
"You're not actually Ning Zheyuan's lawyer, right? You're just his friend. Speeding in the city, exceeding 50%, depending on the driver's attitude, could result in your driver's license being suspended. It's not something that can be resolved simply by paying a fine."
Hearing the constant urging from her phone screen, Xiao Yihan steeled her heart and decided to go all out.
"What? It's that serious? They're even going to confiscate my driver's license?!"
Xia Che exclaimed in surprise without expression, then turned and left, waving his hand: "Wow, this is really serious. I need to find a place to calm down. Goodbye."
He was exhausted after a whole morning of work. Helping Xiao Yihan wasn't out of the question, but he felt it would be too much trouble...
Xia Che hates trouble.
Well...
Anyway, Ning Zheyuan is the only underground emperor in Jiang City. Someone as powerful as him should be able to get his driver's license back even if it's confiscated, right?
Xia Che scratched his face, feeling a little guilty.
"What……"
Xiao Yihan stood there, stunned, her beautiful eyes widening involuntarily.
She was rejected by Xia Che once again.
Twice in a row within a few minutes?
Even though he used a slightly dishonest threat, the other party showed no mercy.
What does this feel like?
This kind of decisive refusal...
"Thump, thump—"
Xiao Yihan's heartbeat gradually quickened. Her phone kept ringing with her mother's urging. The surrounding environment was noisy and chaotic, but she seemed to have a buzzing sound in her ears, making her see nothing but Xia Che.
"Xiaohan, Xiao Wang has been pursuing you for so long, why don't you agree? He's a pretty good catch."
"Tch, I like assertive men. Who wants to date an ordinary guy who's completely subservient to me? All he does is say sweet nothings and play the sentimental card—it's so cliché..."
"So what kind do you like?"
"Me? As for me..."
The casual conversation with her best friend echoed in Xiao Yihan's ears. Her eyes suddenly blinked, and her breathing became rapid.
"I must find someone who doesn't take me seriously! That's what makes a real man."
The words she had said before resurfaced in her mind. Xiao Yihan stared at Xia Che, her head spinning.
That man who didn't take himself seriously... actually showed up.
In the vast police station, nothing else seemed to exist in Xiao Yihan's eyes at this moment; it was as if only she and Xia Che existed.
She could tell that Xia Che wasn't pretending to reject her to create a contrast; he was genuinely rejecting her, clearly indicating that he didn't want any further contact with her.
Those who are family members understand their own affairs.
Xiao Yihan clearly realized—
She was tempted.
Being handsome is a feeling, and Xiao Yihan truly understood that now.
Even though Xia Che looked exactly the same as before, without any change, in his eyes, Xia Che seemed to be covered by a filter. His nose was more prominent, his eye sockets were more deep, and his expressionless face seemed to have an intoxicating smile.
Even the blond hair on the other person's head seemed to have gained a touch of cynicism.
There was no trace of sleazy about him anymore.
"Officer Xiao, could you please stop following me?"
Xia Che felt a chill run down his back, as if he were in the wild and had been spotted by a wolf.
All I did was reject her. I didn't do anything heinous. Why should I be so petty?
Thinking of this, Xia Che nervously looked around, fearing that several burly law enforcement officers would appear at any moment, roar and rush towards him, then slam him to the ground and rub his face against the floor.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yihan seemed to wake from a dream, staring blankly at Xia Che, her cheeks suddenly flushing red, "Isn't it good to be with you...?"
Xia Che: ?
Xia Che was stunned.
I instinctively took a few steps back, feeling as if ants were crawling all over my body.
What the heck is going on?
Is it easy for others to misunderstand my words?
What are you shy about?
Are you crazy?! Happy New Year!
