On the bench, Zhou Yunwan placed her hands on her knees, intertwining her fingers and clenching them. This was the first time in her life that she had called the police. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous, but she was more looking forward to a good outcome.
"Comrade, drink some hot water." The female police officer who stayed behind to accompany her handed her a cup of hot water.
Zhou Yunwan took the enamel cup and smiled: "Thank you."
The female police officer sat down next to her. Women are often more sympathetic to each other. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, she comforted her softly, "Don't be nervous. The bad guy will definitely get the punishment he deserves."
With someone comforting her, Zhou Yunwan's mood improved a lot, and the two chatted a lot. Time passed, and after about a few minutes, Shen Yanli came out from the other end of the Public Security Bureau, followed by a male police officer.
Seeing that she had finished taking notes, Shen Yanli hurried over: “Sorry for the long wait.”
"It's okay. I didn't wait long." Since there were other people around, Zhou Yunwan didn't want to ask him what he was going to do, so she stood up from the chair and said goodbye to the female police officer.
Before leaving, the female police officer whispered in her ear: "Your boyfriend is really good to you. When you were taking your statement just now, he was consulting my colleagues about the relevant laws, fearing that you would suffer a loss."
After hearing this, Zhou Yunwan finally realized what he had done during the time he disappeared. She immediately raised her head to look at the tall figure walking in front of her. She didn't expect that he was so thoughtful.
...
...
The female police officer continued, "You and your partner should go back and have a good rest today. If there is anything, we will send our colleagues to the guesthouse to look for you."
He is not my type.
Facing the smiling eyes of the female police officer, Zhou Yunwan's words of explanation got stuck in her throat, but what was undeniable was that Shen Yanli was really good to her. He had only known her for a few days, but he was already busy running around for her.
However, during the short period of time when she was distracted, the female police officer waved goodbye to her, turned around and went into the police station. She missed the opportunity, and it would seem deliberate to catch up with her to explain.
Afterwards, the two found a state-owned restaurant.
It was past dinner time, so there weren't many people around. After ordering the dishes, not long after sitting down, Zhou Yunwan felt a few vague gazes coming her way. To be precise, they were looking at Chen Yanli who was sitting opposite her.
The man, with his eyelashes drooping, was carefully wiping the dishes with a handkerchief. The veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly as he moved back and forth, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Yunwan had nothing to do. As she watched, her finger control problem came back. Being sneaky was not her character, so she simply propped up her chin and stared at him openly.
His profile is superior, his high nose bridge looks particularly three-dimensional under the weak sunlight, his eye sockets are deep, his eyelashes are thick and long, and his thin lips are slightly pursed. He is so handsome that he looks like he walked out of a picture magazine.
With such looks, it's no wonder that the few female comrades in the restaurant set their eyes on him. But he himself was unaware of it. After wiping one set of tableware, he went to wipe the one in front of her.
"Are you a germaphobe?" Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but ask.
She suddenly spoke, causing Shen Yanli to slowly lift his eyelids, and as expected, he met a pair of eyes as clear as glass. He had already noticed her burning gaze, but it was not easy to expose it, so he explained in a calm voice: "Just a simple wipe of the dust."
He neither admitted nor denied it, but he wiped it so carefully that it didn't seem like there was nothing there.
We will be together for a long time in the future, and for her, having mysophobia is a plus point because she is also a clean person.
Soon, he finished wiping two sets of tableware. At this moment, a strong male voice interrupted from the side: "Hello, do you live nearby?"
Zhou Yunwan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in dark blue work clothes, with a slightly reddened face on his handsome face. At another table not far away, there were several other gay men sitting there, making eye contact with each other.
They were dressed similarly and were about the same age, and it was obvious that he had mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation at the instigation of his companions.
Zhou Yunwan was stunned for two seconds and subconsciously looked at the man sitting opposite her.
There was no special emotion on Shen Yanli’s stern face. He just glanced at the young man faintly when he came over, and then looked at her.
Their eyes met at this moment. Although there was a lot of noise around them, she seemed to be able to clearly hear the sound of her heart beating faster and faster, over and over again.
In the end, it was Shen Yanli who first looked away. He did not say anything, and this attitude meant that he handed the right to handle it to her.
"Sorry, we don't live nearby. If you need help, you can ask the waiter." Zhou Yunwan raised her head and smiled at the young man with curved eyebrows. Her tone was obviously extremely gentle, but if you listened carefully, you could sense the coldness that kept people at a distance.
The young man naturally understood the refusal, but he was unwilling to give up and stared at her without blinking.
They all noticed her as early as when she appeared at the entrance of the state-owned hotel. The girl was standing on the steps, tall and slender, and even though she was wrapped tightly, it was not difficult to see her exquisite curves.
Her black hair was tied into a bun on top of her head, revealing a small face the size of a palm, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, a small and tall nose, plump and tender red lips, and delicate facial features.
He had never seen such a beautiful girl. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a fairy. No, compared to the cold and aloof fairy, she was more like a little fox in winter, charming and alluring.
She gently raised her hands to brush off some snow on her indigo jacket. Her thin, fair hands were slightly red from the cold, but she didn't care. She just put them on her face and put them away.
Her every move was quite casual. No one knew what the man next to her said. She smiled with her eyes curved, and the gleam in her eyes could easily grab the attention of all men.
For example, at their table, no one could take their eyes off her.
They originally thought that she and the equally good-looking gay man next to her were a couple, but after observing for a while, they felt that they were more like siblings than a couple, and their clothes did not match. In short, their relationship was definitely not close.
So he was urged to strike up a conversation, but he didn't expect to be rejected so bluntly.
Just when he was about to say something, Shen Yanli, who had not spoken, said slowly: “We are going to eat, are you sure you want to waste time here?”
His tone was calm, but having been in a high position for a long time, his aura had already been tainted with a hint of sharpness. The young man blushed, and could no longer stay there, so he left in disgrace.
Zhou Yunwan lazily held her chin with her hand and said in an ambiguous tone, "The food hasn't been served yet."
The ending tone rises slightly, which is inexplicably charming.
Hearing this, Shen Yanli's eyes fell on her bright pupils, and the two looked at each other silently. At this time, the waiter came over with the dishes they ordered.
"Wow, you're really on time." She raised the corners of her lips, as if nothing had been said and nothing had happened. She picked up the chopsticks he had wiped clean, picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth.
Shen Yanli's eyes darkened slightly, and he also picked up the chopsticks.
He didn't say anything, and Zhou Yunwan didn't say anything either. The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, so she ate while looking away at the main road outside the window.
Most people walking on the street are wearing black, gray and blue coarse cloth clothes. The styles are similar and relatively simple, but they are clean and tidy and in high spirits.
A red slogan was painted on a white wall not far away: Stand together through thick and thin, work hard, prosper and create greater glory. Everywhere is filled with the atmosphere unique to this era.
When she thought of Shen Yanli helping her to chase people away just now, she couldn't help wanting to laugh, but she couldn't really laugh, so she could only pretend to tidy up the hair by her ears to cover up the upturned corners of her mouth.
Chen Yanli glanced at her, not missing the smile that flashed across her lips. He narrowed his eyes and withdrew his gaze from that beautiful little face.
