Although she had already prepared herself mentally, Yu Shiyue still wanted to try one last time when the time came.
For her, notebooks have become the best outlet for daily venting.
Moreover, she earns her royalties by drawing comics. Although the comics are free, her external account on her homepage has enabled tipping, and with the support of her fans each month, she earns enough royalties to cover her expenses.
What's more, so many people support her to continue painting, and she's painting what Yu Shiyue loves most.
If we can continue...
Yu Shiyue's eyes became even more earnest, with a hint of pleading in them.
"You...sigh, you really are a naive young man."
Xiao Yihan's mind was clouded by Xia Che, but she regained a rare moment of clarity when she heard Yu Shiyue's request.
"Write here, and call me when you're done."
Xiao Yihan glanced at Xia Che. Although she really wanted to stay in the same room with Xia Che, there were some things she couldn't say outright, and she couldn't be present either.
To be frank, this is not a big deal at all.
After returning from her date with Xia Che, Xiao Yihan did some investigation and discovered that the reason they were targeting Yu Shiyue was simply because their jurisdiction was short of quotas.
In addition, Yu Shiyue's case is indeed the first of its kind in this jurisdiction. If it hadn't been found, we could have turned a blind eye, since Yu Shiyue didn't actually make any profit and it was on an external website. But since it has been found, we can't ignore it.
so……
Yu Shiyue's request was certainly possible, but it couldn't be said aloud by Xiao Yihan; it could only be hinted at.
It would be best if you could understand; if not, I can only apologize.
"Hey! Officer Xiao..."
Seeing Xiao Yihan take the document with the written information, get up and walk out, Yu Shiyue became anxious. She wanted to try again, but she didn't notice the implication in Xiao Yihan's words at all. She thought that Xiao Yihan had rejected her, and immediately prepared to get up and chase after her.
"You know, calling yourself a young person is really..."
Xia Che shook his head. Although he could no longer appreciate Xiao Yihan's black stockings, he understood the meaning behind the look in her eyes.
"Haven't you figured it out yet? Xiao Yihan has already agreed. After you go back, just do whatever you want. As long as you don't make a profit, she won't keep bothering you. Do you understand?"
Xia Che sat in the seat where Xiao Yihan had just been, looking at the silly little girl in front of him with a half-smile.
"Huh? Really?"
Yu Shiyue, as expected, didn't understand; her eyes sparkled with the clear naiveté unique to college students.
"Some things can't be said outright. After all, rules are rules, and no one can go against them. Let me give you an example."
Xia Che paused, rarely showing interest in being an enlightenment mentor, especially for someone like Yu Shiyue who was completely clueless about social etiquette. "Imagine you're eating at a restaurant, and you see a 'No Smoking' sign on the wall, but the people at the next table are openly smoking, and the waiter next to you ignores it. You also get a craving for a cigarette, so you ask the waiter if you can smoke. Guess what the waiter's answer will be?"
"They'll probably agree, right? After all, someone's already smoking."
Yu Shiyue blinked, not understanding what Xia Che was up to: "Besides, why are you telling me this? What does the example you gave have to do with this matter?"
"Of course there is, and the answer isn't what you think. On the contrary, the waiter will refuse you without hesitation. Can you guess why?"
Xia Che smiled mysteriously.
"Why? Why can others smoke, but I can't?"
Although Yu Shiyue doesn't smoke, Xia Che's example was clearly aimed at himself, wasn't it?
We're all in the same restaurant, and someone else is smoking, so why can't I?
"Because that's the rule, silly girl."
Xia Che shook his head and sighed.
Yu Shiyue is usually quite smart, so why does she become so naive and innocent when it comes to interpersonal relationships?
"If you don't ask and just draw a ticket, the waiter won't care. She'll just pretend she doesn't see it. But if you ask, then I'm sorry... you can't draw a ticket anymore, because that's the rule."
"The signs in the restaurant say no smoking, and that's the restaurant's rule. As long as you don't ask, you can smoke however you want, and no one will care. But the waiters live under this rule, and they can't criticize the guests, so they won't stop you from smoking. But if you ask them, then they will definitely stop you."
"If you smoke without asking, then even if the boss sees it, it's the customer's problem. But if you ask and she still lets you smoke, then it's the waiter's problem. If the boss catches you, there will be punishment. You and the waiter are not related, so why should they take the punishment just to let you smoke? So they definitely won't let you smoke."
Looking at the cute little face in front of him that seemed to understand but not quite, Xia Che couldn't help but reach out and pat her head. "Similarly, there are many things that Xiao Yihan can't tell you, because it involves the rules of the police station, as well as the rules of Jiang City and even the whole of China. As long as you don't ask, just draw it however you want, and Xiao Yihan will turn a blind eye."
"Don't you think that if it really couldn't be done, why wouldn't she just firmly refuse you, or even warn you?"
Xia Che's words made Yu Shiyue fall into deep thought, and she felt that her usually clear mind had become dizzy at this moment.
So complicated...
It's really complicated...
What is all this nonsense?
What restaurants, what smoking, what rules...
After all that rambling, how did we end up back here again?
Even though Xia Che was speaking Chinese, Yu Shiyue couldn't understand a single word.
This is no longer just about blind spots in her knowledge; it's about going wild in her blind spots.
"So... I'll go back and continue drawing as usual?"
Finally, after feeling dizzy for a while, Yu Shiyue grasped the key point and cautiously asked.
"Yes, that's fine."
Xia Che stared intently at Yu Shiyue's white silk, feeling a sense of exhilaration.
As expected.
White silk is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Unlike black stockings, they are not so alluring. Looking at them for a long time will not arouse desire, but will instead give you a kind of light and pleasant feeling, like drinking a bowl of millet porridge.
It's light, but leaves a lingering aftertaste.
"Okay, I understand."
Yu Shiyue was skeptical. Xia Che's explanation made sense, but for Yu Shiyue, it was the first time a door to human relationships and social customs had been opened, which made her feel somewhat curious.
But soon, the person in front of her couldn't block her gaze at all, and Yu Shiyue's forehead was covered with black lines. "I say...aren't you being a little too arrogant?"
"You've been staring at my legs. Should I lift them up a bit more so you can see them properly?"
