You Mingxu didn't take Yin Feng's angry tone of "I'll take care of you if you take care of me" seriously at all. But when she opened the door, she was stunned.
There are many thin light strips hanging from the ceiling of the living room, flickering. The dining table was placed in the middle, covered with candles arranged in the shape of a smiley face. Place two sets of napkins and cutlery at each end. There are many bouquets of flowers around the dining table. The entire space is filled with a hazy, romantic and warm beauty.
It was the first time for You Mingxu to witness such an occasion, and he glanced at Yin Feng. But this guy had made so many careful arrangements, and now he was still angry. He walked to the dining table without saying a word, pulled out a chair, sat down, buried his face in his arms, and ignored her.
You Mingxu laughed.
At this time, Chen Feng came out of the kitchen with a few appetizers and greeted with a smile: "Ms. You, this is to celebrate your return home after working overtime for four consecutive days. Teacher Yin specially designed and arranged it. There will also be cake after dinner."
You Mingxu felt his temple throbbing a few times. Now she not only felt that Yin Feng was abnormal, but Chen Feng was also a little... out of line. This was the first time in her entire life that she had seen anyone celebrate working four more days with great fanfare.
Chen Feng quickly retreated into the kitchen again, truly a good Chinese assistant. Yin Feng was still lying there motionless. You Mingxu walked over and poked his head, but he still didn't move.
You Mingxu said, "Aren't you going to celebrate for me?" His voice was a little softer than before. He finally straightened up slowly, and when he saw her still swollen face, he immediately stood up and said, "Let's take you to the hospital first!"
You Mingxu endured it and said, "It's just a minor injury, why go to the hospital? I'll go wash my face and put some medicine on it." After that, he went to the bathroom first, washed his face carefully, and looked at himself in the mirror. His face was swollen and looked extremely ugly.
You Mingxu threw away the towel and walked back to the bedroom, only to see Yin Feng already sitting there with an ice pack in his hand. You Mingxu took it, pressed it gently on his face, and let out a "hiss" in a feeling of both pleasure and pain. A smile quickly appeared on the corner of Yin Feng's lips, but his handsome face immediately tensed up again.
You Mingxu held back his laughter and ignored him. He picked up the cotton swab and iodine from the table next to him and said, "Take it away. I'll apply medicine on you."
You Mingxu held out his hand: "I can do it myself."
He pursed his lips again: "No."
You Mingxu was too lazy to argue with him, so he put down the ice pack and turned his swollen face towards him. He applied the iodine carefully and lightly, making You Mingxu's face feel a little itchy and cold. She turned her eyes and caught a glimpse of his serious expression. He was exactly the same man who was looking at the case files in the car before.
The medicine has been taken and I can finally go out for dinner.
You Mingxu looked at the exquisite dishes on the table, and the chefs and servants who were serving food in an endless stream. And Chen Feng, who always stands by and controls the overall situation. She just buried her head in her food. After finishing her meal, she put down her knife and fork and said, "Hey, thank you for this time. Don't be so exaggerated next time. I work overtime every other day, and when I get home I just want to eat and sleep normally."
He lowered his head: "Got it."
You Mingxu suddenly had a strange feeling. This child seemed to have grown up a little mentally and started to have his own ideas. He no longer showed his thoughts on his face, nor did he listen to everything he was told.
No, that's not right. In fact, from the very beginning when they met, although he was stupid, he always had his own thoughts.
After dinner and a shower, You Mingxu sat on the balcony outside the living room and put an ice pack on his face. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and a few stars came up and shone brightly. You Mingxu leaned lazily in his chair, his mind relaxed.
Yin Feng pushed the door open, walked out, dragged a chair and sat next to her. He held a cup of Coke in his hand and drank it in small sips. You Mingxu seemed to be able to feel the cool and sweet feeling of the Coke pouring into his throat. He swallowed a little and said, "Give me a bottle."
Yin Feng immediately protected the Coke: "This is the last bottle in the house."
You Mingxu snorted softly.
He immediately said, "I'll ask someone to buy it for you."
In fact, You Mingxu was not used to ordering others around, so she said, "No, just give me a sip of yours." She was a criminal police officer, and sometimes she felt tired and thirsty while on duty. It was common for her to share a bottle of water with a few brothers. She was used to a rough life, so she didn't care about this.
Yin Feng was stunned for a moment because he never shared food with others. Feeling his heart flutter, he slowly handed over the cup.
You Mingxu took it, tilted his head back, took a big sip, and handed it back to him.
Yin Feng took it and looked at the rim of the cup where she had drunk, as if it was exactly the place where he had drunk. Yin Feng couldn't tell what he felt, a little nervous, a little secretly happy. It was clearly she who used what he had used, but he felt like he had done something bad.
"Your inference may be wrong." You Mingxu said.
Yin Feng raised his head.
You Mingxu looked into the distance and briefly recounted the progress of the investigation in the past few days. Then he said, "We haven't found any suspects around Xie Huifang with a clear motive or time for murder. I'm afraid the motive of revenge that you insisted on before is not true. Now our investigation direction has been adjusted to burglary and murder."
After she finished speaking, she turned and stared at him, expecting to see an embarrassed expression on his face, but she only saw that he looked calm with only a slight frown on his brows.
You Mingxu smiled, snatched the Coke from his hand, and took another sip.
"I'm not wrong." Yin Feng said, "Each victim was stabbed several times. The careful killer chose to kill Xie Huifang when she was alone at home. The pile of bodies had no practical meaning, only psychological implications. These conveyed strong emotions and motives. This was a revenge killing. You must have missed something or someone."
You Mingxu looked at him for a few seconds without saying anything. In fact, this case seemed simple, but she also felt it was strange.
Yin Feng took the opportunity to take the Coke from her. When he took a sip, only he knew that he hesitated for a second. Then he aimed at a certain place and drank the rest in one gulp, his heart beating silently and very hard.
Then he held the empty cup in his palm, shaking it back and forth for a long time, smiled brightly, and said, "You are wasting your time by following the direction of the theft. Ash, you are doing something stupid."
Although You Mingxu also had doubts about the direction of the investigation, he became unhappy after hearing what he said. He felt like he and his brothers were slapped in the face by him. She snorted and said, "Why do you care so much? We have the final say on how to investigate."
Yin Feng didn't know why, but it seemed as if a ray of light suddenly opened up in his mind from the sky above his head. It was a feeling of blessing that shocked his soul. He blurted out: "How about we make a bet."
You Mingxu raised his eyelids.
Yin Feng said, "Let's bet on this case, is it revenge or robbery. If you can't find anything along the line of theft, then I win. The bet I want is... from now on, you will take me with you when you investigate cases."
