After coming out of the "Qingxin" bar, Zhou Yuanyuan sighed heavily.
What the hell was going on? Wen Ziqing just went home to say goodbye to her family, and all this trouble had happened. She and He Jingjing just had a bad blood relationship! From childhood to adulthood, even if she ignored He Jingjing, she would still cause her a lot of trouble.
If...if Wen Ziqing couldn't recover, she would definitely kill He Jingjing to avenge him. Zhou Yuanyuan thought with gritted teeth.
In the sea of consciousness, Xiaoyu seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Xiaoyu felt that Zhou Yuanyuan's mood had been off these past few days. Before, she hadn't been so violent. Could all this have something to do with the withered "Tree of Life"? Xiaoyu began to stare at the green tree again. She believed she could find the cause.
At this time, a young man in a police uniform was riding a bicycle past the door of the "Qingxin" bar. Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan, the young man called out in surprise, "Zhou Yuanyuan?"
Zhou Yuanyuan looked up and saw, wow! It was an acquaintance! Who else could this young man be but Geng Xiaoliang?
"Geng the Public Security? Are you going to work?" Zhou Yuanyuan and Geng Xiaoliang had worked together several times. Seeing Geng Xiaoliang's bright smile, Zhou Yuanyuan forced a smile on her originally gloomy face.
Zhou Yuanyuan stayed in the "Qingxin" bar for a while. It was only about 8:30 at this time. People were walking hurriedly on the road. It was the time when government offices went to work.
"Well, I'm just about to do something. Zhou Yuanyuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you still in middle school?" Geng Xiaoliang was so happy when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan that his heart was bubbling with joy.
Talking about how Geng Xiaoliang and Zhou Yuanyuan met, it really was their "fate".
After graduating from university, Geng Xiaoliang was assigned to the Gongqiao Police Station as a police officer. Zhou Yuanyuan's grandfather, Zhao Qingshan, lived within the Gongqiao Police Station's jurisdiction.
Yu Xiaohan returned to Kyoto to recognize his relatives. Seeing that Yu Meiru didn't want to pay attention to him, he secretly took away Zhou Yuanyuan's little cousin Zhao Yu.
The entire Zhao family was almost driven crazy by Zhao Yu's "disappearance". It was Zhou Yuanyuan who helped. She and Geng Xiaoliang and several other police officers intercepted Yu Xiaohan at the airport and "rescued" Zhao Yu.
From that time on, Zhou Yuanyuan, a beautiful and kind girl, lived in Geng Xiaoliang's heart.
Before he knew Zhou Yuanyuan's true identity, Geng Xiaoliang had a crush on her. Sometimes after get off work, when he had some free time, Geng Xiaoliang would foolishly run to the gate of Chaoyang Middle School just to see Zhou Yuanyuan.
At that time, Geng Xiaoliang had just graduated from school and his heart was very innocent. He liked Zhou Yuanyuan just because he liked Zhou Yuanyuan as a person and did not consider the Zhao family and Zhou family behind Zhou Yuanyuan.
It was Geng Xiaoliang's boss Xu Zhiyuan who "woke him up". Xu Zhiyuan told Geng Xiaoliang that Zhou Yuanyuan was the great-granddaughter of General Zhou, and that he and Zhou Yuanyuan were from two completely different worlds. Zhou Yuanyuan already had a fiancé, who was a perfect match for her and was something a small policeman like Geng Xiaoliang, who had no family background, could not even dream of.
Geng Xiaoliang lost all confidence after being hit by Xu Zhiyuan's warning, and it took him half a year to get over this secret love.
Today, Geng Xiaoliang is wearing a police uniform and looks very handsome. Geng Xiaoliang has a bright smile. When he smiles, his bright smile with white teeth is like a luminous body, attracting the attention of many young women passing by.
"Yeah, it's been a few years since I last saw you. Geng Xiaoliang, have you changed jobs?" Seeing Geng Xiaoliang, Zhou Yuanyuan inevitably recalled the last time they worked together. Back then, Geng Xiaoliang worked at the Chaoyang Branch. He'd been an eyesore for someone, but during the last "vampire" hunt, the clueless Geng Xiaoliang had been dispatched to work alongside the special operations team.
Generally speaking, in such "paranormal cases," it's the special operations team that Zhou Yuanyuan is on duty, and ordinary people like Geng Xiaoliang are basically used as "cannon fodder" or "bait." Fortunately, Zhou Yuanyuan was able to lure the enemy out, and Geng Xiaoliang was able to escape.
"Yes, thanks to your reminder last time. I'm working in Shilitun now." Geng Xiaoliang saw Zhou Yuanyuan. On the one hand, he wanted to talk to her, and on the other hand, he was really grateful to her. If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't reminded him, Geng Xiaoliang would still be foolishly staying in the position he shouldn't be in, becoming a thorn in the eyes of others.
"Ah? Then hurry up and get to work! Your workplace is quite far from here." Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. The "Qingxin" bar was located in Gongqiao District, and it was still a full 20 kilometers away from Shilitun!
"I'm not going back to the bureau right now. I'm going to do some research nearby." Geng Xiaoliang waved his hand and said, "Zhou Yuanyuan, don't worry about affecting my work. I have something I want to ask you! Have you had breakfast? There's a good snack bar nearby. I'll treat you."
Ever since he saw Zhou Yuanyuan's fierceness in killing the "vampire" with one move, Geng Xiaoliang had long since "buried" his former affection. In Geng Xiaoliang's eyes, Zhou Yuanyuan was no longer the girl he liked, but the girl he admired.
"Sure! I'm just hungry." Seeing that Geng Xiaoliang really wanted to treat her, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't refuse. Geng Xiaoliang's smile was so bright that just looking at him for a few more seconds made Zhou Yuanyuan's gloomy mood much better.
Zhou Yuanyuan thought that she had to wait for news from Yunshang these days, and since she had nothing else to do, chatting with Geng Xiaoliang would be nice to relax.
Geng Xiaoliang took Zhou Yuanyuan halfway down the street and came to a snack bar called "Delicious". The snack bar was not big, with only six or seven tables.
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but chuckle at the name on the plaque. She herself was a lazy person, and she hadn't expected the owner to be even lazier. Using the word "delicious" as the name for the shop, perhaps the owner was just as bad at naming things as she was.
The owner was a fat man in his forties. When he saw Geng Xiaoliang and Zhou Yuanyuan talking and laughing as they walked into the store, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
"Xiaoliang, where's your girlfriend?" The fat man greeted Geng Xiaoliang with a grin. Geng Xiaoliang lived nearby, in the same neighborhood as the shop owner, Peng Youliang. Peng Youliang was a good friend of Geng Xiaoliang's father, the kind of person who often drank and chatted with him when they had free time.
"Uncle Peng, she's not my girlfriend, she's my colleague." Geng Xiaoliang blushed and glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan. He wasn't lying; he and Zhou Yuanyuan had been on missions together before, so they were considered colleagues.
When Geng Xiaoliang said this, he was worried that Zhou Yuanyuan would be upset. Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's composure, Geng Xiaoliang finally felt relieved. If the "delicious" soy milk and buns weren't so delicious, Geng Xiaoliang really wouldn't have brought Zhou Yuanyuan here. The owner, Peng Youliang, was too nosy. What happened this morning would definitely reach Geng Xiaoliang's father's ears that evening.
