The next morning, the sun was just beginning to shine, its rays piercing through the window and landing on the blankets. Birds in the trees were chirping incessantly.
Luo Jiu woke up to this peaceful morning scene.
I vaguely remember last night... being dragged to see a movie by Su Hengzhe, and then... being dragged to some kind of party, supposedly for karaoke.
I drank too much and felt a bit unwell. Then…
As a songstress, drinking too much... and even blacking out? That's a bit embarrassing.
Luo Jiu banged her head hard, but it didn't help.
I don't think I did anything shameful.
"Miss, you're finally awake. The Major General is waiting for you in the living room to have breakfast with you."
A voice stopped Luo Jiu from continuing her foolish actions. It was Xiao Li, the maid who usually served Luo Jiu.
"Hmm..."
Luo Jiu responded and got out of bed.
Wait for me to have breakfast?
It doesn't seem very early now, so why did the male lead suddenly decide to invite me to dinner?
...
Luo Jiu apologized and took a seat.
The table was laden with traditional Chinese breakfast items: soy milk and fried dough sticks; and also with Western items: milk and bread. The food filled most of the table.
Luo Jiu took a bowl of soy milk and placed it in front of her. She wanted to drink it, but hesitated, saying:
"Is the Major General waiting for someone?"
Xu Shaojun glanced at her, but wasn't angry. Instead, he asked in a good mood, "Why do you say that?"
"Hmm... this breakfast on the table seems to be more than enough for two people."
"No. I just didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little too much. Take whatever you like."
Xu Shaojun's words made Luo Jiu feel somewhat uncomfortable. How could he have changed so much overnight? Is everything alright...?
"You like soy milk and fried dough sticks, right? What else do you like to eat? I'll have Lin Fu go buy it later. Is there anything else you need? I'll call... never mind. I'll go to the street with you later."
Xu Shaojun finished his breakfast in a few bites. He was now staring intently at Luo Jiu, his deep eyes making Luo Jiu feel a little flustered.
It turns out it wasn't just what I thought; he really has changed completely. Otherwise, why would his attitude towards me have changed so drastically?
"Well... I guess that's not necessary."
Luo Jiu chuckled dryly. "Male lead, your behavior towards me makes me inexplicably nervous."
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! The male lead's affection level has increased to 50%!] #SprinklingCrayons#
Luo Jiu was stunned again when she heard 007's voice. What was wrong with this world?
Xu Shaojun, standing to the side, looked at Luo Jiu, who was sitting coldly on the chair, and felt a little puzzled. Had he treated her badly before? Now, they were just going shopping together, and this unexpected incident happened?
Hmm... I can be nicer to her in the future.
If Lieutenant Lin, who was standing to the side, knew what Xu Shaojun was thinking at that moment, he would definitely want to complain as well.
Major General, tell me, when have you ever gone shopping?
Forget accompanying girls, you've never even been to one yourself, okay?
However, the plan was abandoned not long afterward.
"Major General, the police just sent someone to say that there has been progress in the case of the stabbing at the Su family banquet."
These words stunned everyone present for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the police station, which is practically a shell of its former self, has a lead so quickly? Is it because they realized they couldn't win the fight and wanted to curry favor with the newly appointed commander, so they were willing to put in the effort?
Or is it because of something else?
Xu Shaojun was silent for a moment, then said, "Go to the police station."
She had just stood up when she turned to look at Luo Jiu. She clearly looked bored, but he interpreted it as disappointment.
Fine, I'll agree to her request first.
"Jiu'er? Want to come along? I'll take you for a stroll in the streets after I finish my business."
