"Do you remember what the room looked like when we went in?"
The intern trembled under Yan Qi's grasp and cautiously said, "Li Yue is lying on the bed, strangled to death, and Xia Xi is lying on the floor, knocked unconscious?"
"Anything else?"
"besides?"
The intern tried hard to recall, but it seemed that was all there was to it, nothing else.
"That glass of milk."
"Um?"
Every time he mentored a new recruit, seeing their eyes wide open like light bulbs, filled with utter ignorance, he couldn't understand how they even got into criminal investigation school. It irritated him immensely.
"The glass of milk was left standing upright on the table. Do you remember what she said when she came to give her statement?"
"I was carrying milk into the house when I was knocked unconscious before I could even see what was happening."
The little boy murmured those words, his eyes fixed on the white paper on the table.
"I understand. Milk, she was knocked unconscious on the ground, so the milk must have been spilled too. It's impossible for it to still be on the table..."
"So, she's lying?"
The intern thought of this and felt a chill run down his spine.
Why would she lie? It concerns a life! Also, the hospital's examination report shows that she suffered a heavy impact to her back. Is that just a coincidence?
"Then...is she the murderer?"
While marveling at Xia Xi's lie, they were also deeply impressed by Yan Qi's meticulous judgment.
Unexpectedly, these words earned him a glare from Yan Qi.
"How exactly did you graduate? Do you have any evidence?"
The intern stared at Yan Qi's receding figure with a look of utter confusion.
Was I just being criticized? It feels like the captain is favoring that girl. Every word you say is misleading me; she's the murderer!
"Cut! Great, let's wrap this up early!"
Filming with a group of good-looking and talented colleagues is really comfortable. As long as you try your best to meet the unreasonable demands of the fussy director, you can wrap up quickly, which is incredibly enjoyable.
Taking advantage of everyone's cheers, Shen Jinchen, with great foresight, pulled Luo Jiu and slipped out through the back door.
This group of people are all night owls, and they're all incredibly good at creating a buzz. Finishing work so early, they're definitely going to start planning where to have dinner together.
Why can't you just enjoy your time together as a couple? Why do you have to join in this mess and become a lamb to the slaughter?
Shen Jinchen suddenly realized that whenever the two of them were together, they always felt there wasn't enough time. It always felt like they hadn't done anything at all, and time had already passed by.
I want to use every spare moment, even the smallest fragment, as if I could split it in two. For the first time, I realized I could be this "sentimental."
"Then, I'm going back."
During dinner, Luo Jiu drank some red wine, and her face was flushed and quite cute. Her big eyes were watery, reflecting Chen Jinchen's image.
"Um."
He responded softly, but his eyes remained fixed on Luo Jiu, showing no intention of going back.
"See you tomorrow."
"Um."
Luo Jiu slowly backed away, walked to the door, and placed her hand on the doorknob.
Shen Jinchen gazed at the graceful figure not far away, slowly opened the door, and then…
He turned and ran back to himself.
Warm little hands slipped around her waist and wrapped tightly around her. Luo Jiu lifted her head from his chest, looking charming and alluring.
She tiptoed and, under Shen Jinchen's gaze, gently kissed him.
Goodnight, boyfriend.
"Um……"
It was definitely the alcohol that was making Luo Jiu unusually excited tonight, and she really wanted to give Shen Jinchen a little surprise to make him happy.
A moment later, Luo Jiu tried to pull her hand back, but unexpectedly couldn't break free.
Luo Jiu: "??"
The man wrapped his arm around Luo Jiu, tightening his grip. His deep eyes held a glint of something Luo Jiu couldn't decipher.
"I... went back."
"Hmm? You want to run away after flirting?"
A deep, husky voice exploded in Luo Jiu's ears, leaving her stunned for a moment. Then, she felt something pressing against her leg, burning hot.
"No, no. Calm down, calm down." Luo Jiu was a little flustered, and her words started to stutter.
The man chuckled softly again. He pinned Luo Jiu against the wall, his deep black eyes fixed on her. Then, he kissed her.
The temperature rose between the two, and Luo Jiu's soft moans and Shen Jinchen's heavy breathing filled the air.
The emergency lights in the corridor flickered on and off. The stars outside the window twinkled, as if recording some message.
...
The next day, Luo Jiu asked Luo Zhe for leave. The drama "White Bone Sorrow," in which she and Shen Jinchen starred, had already been released and had been airing for a while, receiving a good response, but it lacked popularity.
Tonight, the story starring Luo Jiu is airing, and Wang Xucai invited her to promote it.
Why didn't Shen Jinchen ask for leave? Because his price tag is too high; the director couldn't afford him.
And coincidentally, the show "Saturday Party" where Luo Jiu was a guest a few weeks ago will also be broadcast tonight.
Everything came together at once.
After dealing with a group of annoying reporters at the promotional event, Luo Jiu turned around, stepped off the stage, picked up her phone, and started forwarding the Weibo post announcing the premiere of "Saturday Party".
Ding! Your lovely and charming Qinqinzi is a guest on "Saturday Party"! Check it out! Wink~ #Retweet #Retweet
Below the text is a repost of a behind-the-scenes clip from the program.
Luo Jiu wore the costume of the elf badminton from "The Sorrow of White Bones" all day. In order to maintain her figure and look good on camera, she hadn't eaten much. By the end of the day, she was exhausted.
The video she reposted quietly gained traction on her Weibo account, then became incredibly quiet, like the calm before a storm.
Liu Zhen drove Luo Jiu back to her apartment. She had been discussing several scripts and endorsements these past few days, and it was a good opportunity to have a good talk with Luo Jiu.
"This is a script by director Li Yu, a pure campus theme. If you go there, he can give you the lead female role..."
"Um……"
Luo Jiu ate noodles, leaning on the coffee table, her eyes glued to the screen as Shen Jinchen played the Elf King.
This man... is truly a peerless beauty. I want to rip his clothes off and tear apart his ascetic face...
"And this script is for a palace intrigue drama, directed by a big director and produced by a big production. If you go there, I think you'll have a lot of potential."
"Um……"
This man is so adorable!
"I also helped you land several endorsements, all from top-tier brands. They really see your potential..."
"Um……"
Liu Zhen endured for a long time, looking at Luo Jiu's infatuated expression, and was very confused. How could he have given up his career that he had worked hard for for many years for this woman?
"Luo Jiu, give it to me..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu didn't react, but Li Li immediately jumped up from the sofa for some reason.
"Sis, you're trending!"
