Shen Xi led Yun Qi to the living room and sat down on the sofa opposite the police.
The young policeman in the living room blushed as he looked at Yunqi.
This girl is so beautiful! ...If it were me, I'd want to hide her away too...
Yunqi couldn't help but tighten her grip on Chen Xi's hand.
An eerily quiet moment followed.
The lead officer coughed lightly and began the routine investigation: "Excuse me, what is your name?"
"...He Yunqi".
"age?"
"twenty four."
"Home address?"
"Room xxx, Building xx, xx Community".
"Mr. Shen Chen reported that his brother imprisoned you, is that right?"
Shen Chen immediately interjected, "The police are here now, you can tell the truth without being afraid."
The police officer frowned: "Mr. Chen Chen, please do not disturb the police investigation."
Shen Chen obediently shut up.
Yunqi: "Chen Xi...did not imprison me."
Chen Xi tightened his grip on Yun Qi's hand...
"Have you not left your house for over a month?"
"…Yes."
Why don't you go out?
Yunqi trembled involuntarily at the thought of going out: "I... am sick... I... don't want to... go out..."
The police officer asked, "Why?"
Yunqi didn't know how to answer, so she hid behind Chen Xi. Chen Xi sighed and answered for Yunqi: "Because Qiqi suffers from social anxiety, she is afraid of facing crowds, so I asked the other officers to leave the room first."
"...So you've been staying at Mr. Shen Xi's house recently?"
"Yes."
What is your relationship?
Yunqi looked at Chen Xi: "...Chen Xi is my...boyfriend..."
Shen Xi's eyes lit up, and he gripped Yun Qi's hand even tighter.
"So, there was no kidnapping or imprisonment?"
"Um."
"Could you tell me how you met?"
"That day was the anniversary of my parents' death. I went to sweep their graves very early... and didn't come back until evening... I fainted on the way... and Shen Xi brought me back and took care of me..."
He Yunqi was right; their first encounter was indeed like that. However, He Yunqi didn't mention that she had been drugged by Shen Xi, which caused her to faint. Shen Xi took her back to care for her, but also to imprison her...
Shen Xi was surprised that He Yunqi would help him keep it a secret. Could it be that He Yunqi also liked him, which was why she helped him hide it?!
"..." The lead police officer could tell that He Yunqi was very dependent on Chen Xi. Based on the current situation, there was no kidnapping or imprisonment. Even if there were, if the person involved didn't admit it, there was no way to file a case...
The lead police officer saluted Shen Xi: "Mr. Shen Xi, it's clear now that there was no kidnapping or imprisonment. You and Ms. He Yunqi are boyfriend and girlfriend, and it's normal for you to live together. Whether you go out or not is your personal freedom. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you. Thank you for your cooperation. We'll leave now."
Shen Xi nodded and shook hands with the police officer, then looked at Shen Chen: "Officer, Shen Chen is slandering me. Can I sue him?"
Shen Chen shouted excitedly, "It was clearly you who imprisoned He Yunqi! He Yunqi, are you sick in the head?! Why are you defending Shen Xi?!"
Yunqi was startled by Shen Chen and instinctively hid in Shen Xi's arms.
The police officer grabbed Shen Chen by the collar to create distance between him and He Yunqi, apologizing as he said, "I'm sorry to have troubled Mr. Shen and Ms. He Yunqi. I'll take Shen Chen away right away."
Ignoring Chen Chen's struggles, she dragged him out of the house and thoughtfully closed the door after everyone had left.
As the police car drove everyone away, Yunqi gradually calmed down.
Chen Xi stared intently at Yun Qi: "Qi Qi, why didn't you tell the police officer that I drugged you and brought you back? And why did you imprison you here..."
"You...you didn't imprison me, it's just that...I didn't want to go out..."
Shen Xi looked at Yun Qi expectantly and said, "Qi Qi, I like you. Do you like me a little too?"
Yunqi blushed under his gaze. Though shy, she nodded and said, "I like...I like you..."
"Then we're boyfriend and girlfriend now."
"Um…"
Shen Xi was overjoyed. Shen Chen's original intention was to cause trouble, but he unexpectedly became a great helper!
Shen Xi pulled Yun Qi into his arms, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction... He couldn't help but kiss Yun Qi's lips...
"Ugh..." Yun Qi's cheeks flushed red under Shen Xi's onslaught, and she became somewhat unsteady on her feet... She froze, forgetting to catch her breath...
Only when Chen Xi released her did she feel like she had come back to life...
Seeing Yunqi's innocent and inexperienced appearance, he couldn't help but laugh: "Remember to breathe when you kiss in the future..."
Yunqi's face turned bright red again...
After their relationship was established, they became even closer. Yun Qi blushed and felt shy at Shen Xi's increasingly intimate physical contact, but she didn't reject it. She also became more dependent on Shen Xi than before...
Shen Xi's recent good mood is something that everyone in the research institute can attest to.
Normally he had a cold, aloof expression, but now he greets everyone with a smile and takes the initiative to say hello, especially to the colleague who helped him answer the phone to ask for leave. Shen Xi was very grateful to him, and when the final research results were published in a prestigious journal, his name was added...
Even his colleague hadn't expected that such a casual act of kindness would elicit such a strong reaction from Shen Xi... Although he had also participated in the research, he had only done the simplest data organization... He wasn't originally qualified to have his name listed on the research findings... But Shen Xi put his name on it, which was equivalent to giving him an honor...
His colleagues also approached Chen Xi, saying he felt unworthy of such an honor...
Shen Xi said: "You may have just been helping out casually with that phone call, but to me, it was more important than the research results. Thank you for letting me get back in time... This honor is well-deserved, consider it my way of expressing my gratitude."
