This time, the shop assistant also gave her a shopping bag as a gift. Xu Moran couldn't bear to look at the toothbrush in the bag. In her mind, the bag didn't contain a toothbrush, but cash.
Although she is a public servant, she doesn't actually receive much. In addition, the criminal investigation team hasn't had any cases to solve for a long time, so she can't even get the basic performance bonus.
Five thousand after tax is already considered lower-middle class in B City, an international metropolis with high housing prices and high cost of living. Every penny must be carefully calculated.
Xu Moran had a bit of an ostrich mentality and didn't dare to calculate how much money the man had spent on her in just one hour. She was afraid that if she did, she would throw him out regardless of whether he was injured or not.
When she got home, she knocked on the closed door and said, "Sir, the toothbrush and towel you requested have been purchased."
There was no sound from the room for a long time. Xu Moran wondered if the man had fainted. Should she push the door open? The door opened a crack, and a hand reached out from the crack.
What kind of hands are these?
Xu Moran thought she would never forget it in her entire life.
His skin was fair and his knuckles were long and well-defined. He appeared slender, but the thin calluses on his knuckles revealed his strength.
As if knowing Xu Moran was staring blankly at his hands, the man chuckled softly through the crack in the door and reached her ears, "Are my hands dirty?"
Xu Moran suddenly came to her senses. She wasn't a lecherous woman, so what was wrong with her?
"Let me tell you, I'm not going to buy anything for you tonight!" Xu Moran said seriously as she placed the bag in the man's hand.
The man didn't say anything, took the bag, and closed the door.
Xu Moran said she wouldn't buy anything for the man anymore, but she didn't leave immediately. She stood at the door for a few more minutes to make sure the man had listened to what she had said before turning around and going to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.
She couldn't afford bottled water like Evian, which costs over ten yuan for a small bottle; she preferred boiled tap water.
While drinking water, Xu Moran sorted out her thoughts. Although she had only been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Brigade for half a year, she had spent the previous two years rotating through different positions in the police station, either as a traffic police officer or a community police officer. After all, she was a graduate of the police academy, and her way of thinking was very meticulous.
After drinking half a glass of warm water, she felt that the series of events that had happened that night, seemingly unrelated, were somehow connected.
Especially the man she picked up, where did his injuries come from?
As she was deep in thought, a muffled "Ah!" came from the room. She dropped her water glass and ran towards the room.
The incident happened suddenly, and besides, this was a rented house, her temporary home, so she just pushed open the door.
Xu Moran thought something had happened to the man, and her heart jumped into her throat the moment she pushed open the door.
The man sat on the bed with his back to the door. When Xu Moran helped him out of the car, she estimated that he was 1.8 meters tall. The height difference was too great. Xu Moran couldn't see through his back at all and could not see what his expression was.
Just as she was about to run to the other side of his bed to check on him, the man sitting with his back to her suddenly turned around, startling her with his unexpected turn.
Xu Moran instinctively took a step back.
The overhead light in the room was on, providing excellent illumination that made the man's features appear even more defined. Even though the car had been dimly lit not long ago, she hadn't been mistaken; the man had striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and was indeed very handsome.
At this moment, the man slightly raised his beautifully curved chin, his eyes filled with a faint smile, and looked at Xu Moran indifferently, "Miss, are you mistaken? It seems that I am the one who should be scared now."
Xu Moran was stunned for a few seconds, still not understanding the man's meaning, and asked him in return, "What do you mean?"
The man raised his right hand, and Xu Moran's gaze shifted slightly to look at his hand. She was stunned for a few seconds when she saw that the man was holding a box the size of a playing card between his thumb and forefinger.
What's the common saying?
Even if you've never eaten pork, you've seen pigs run, let alone in today's outrageously developed internet society. Even if Xu Moran hasn't had the chance to use a condom yet, he knows it's a condom.
