Chapter 827 Chen Bao extra (25)
After he woke up, many of his colleagues came to see him. Unlike his father's scolding, most of his colleagues were impressed by his abilities, saying that he was a hero for bravely venturing into enemy territory and that he had made a great contribution on his first day of internship, so there was no problem with him getting a permanent position!
He listened with elation, but he didn't forget to ask about Zhou Xingxing and Xu Xiaoxiao's condition. He breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the two were not seriously injured, but were just a little frightened and needed to rest.
Immediately afterwards, a feeling of loss welled up in his heart.
He still remembers the explosion; he shielded her with his body.
He couldn't explain why, it seemed to be just an instinct—he felt he had to protect her.
But after this, he didn't know when he would see her again.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when his colleague said, "They'll be coming to the station to give their statements next Wednesday. These two girls are really something. Even though you helped them, one of them is willing to take risks and the other is willing to cooperate. It's not something that just any girl could do."
Murong Chen didn't hear anything else, only the second half: "You said they went to the police station on Wednesday to give statements?"
"Yes." The colleague wondered why the person in front of him was suddenly so excited.
Murong Chen didn't explain, but silently noted the date in his heart.
It's Wednesday already.
His mind was already at the police station, but his body was still stuck in the hospital, so it's no wonder he was frustrated and anxious.
Seeing that Kong Chi had already taken out his laptop and was ready to work without changing his expression, he jumped down from the horizontal bar not far away and quickly walked to Kong Chi's side: "Brother, my good brother, please let me out. You know it's no use for me to beg Dad."
"Would it do you any good to beg me?"
Murong Chen exclaimed, "Anyway, you have to help me, or you won't have a sister-in-law!"
Kong Chi: "?"
He finally looked up from his notebook and slowly asked, "Sister-in-law?"
Murong Chen: "..."
He didn't want to talk about it, but if he didn't use his trump card, he definitely wouldn't be able to leave the hospital today!
He decided to throw caution to the wind: "That's right, I went out this time to pursue love. If I end up a bachelor and nobody wants me, it'll be because I couldn't go out today! Your brother's happiness is in your hands now, so you figure it out!"
Kong Chi: "..."
As it turned out, these words did have an effect.
An hour later, Kong Chi dropped the person off at the police station entrance: "Are you sure you want to come here to chase someone?"
He raised an eyebrow as he looked at the police station's imposing badge.
"That's right, that's it. Thank you, bro, you're the best!"
Kong Chi pushed him away just before he came over to kiss her, and said with disdain, "It's only for an hour. Otherwise, if Dad finds out I brought you out, the only one who can handle him when he gets angry is Mom."
"Don't worry, I know!"
Seeing Murong Chen's radiant smile, Kong Chi finally believed him when he said he was coming to pursue his love.
After getting out of the car, Murong Chen headed straight for the recording room.
As it turned out, they ran into Zhou Mian and Xu Xiaoxiao coming out of the door.
He braked suddenly and nearly hit the two people.
"Hey, be careful." Zhou Mian quickly reached out to steady him.
Murong Chen's eyes lit up when he saw her, but he looked somewhat at a loss: "You...you're leaving?"
Zhou Mian exclaimed, "Ah! Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the hospital recovering from your injuries?"
"Ah, well, I've recovered enough, so I thought I'd come and see you, oh, no, I'd come and see my colleagues, and also see you..." Murong Chen felt that this was a bit strange, but he couldn't think of any better words for the moment.
Xu Xiaoxiao chuckled, her gaze sweeping over the two of them before she said with a smile, "You two chat first, I'll wait for you outside."
She was saying the following to Zhou Mian.
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao leave, Murong Chen inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
"you……"
"you……"
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
Murong Chen scratched his head: "You go first."
Zhou Mian also said at the same time, "You go first."
As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.
Zhou Mian wasn't one to be sentimental, and seeing this, she said first, "Thank you for that day. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be the one lying in the hospital now."
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm a grown man..." Murong Chen said a little embarrassed.
“Not everyone can do what you do. I didn’t expect you to actually be a police officer.” Zhou Mian said with a smile, “I had doubts about you before, I’m sorry.”
"It's okay. The main thing is that I'm really young. Besides, strictly speaking, I'm not really a police officer. I'm still in my probationary period."
Seeing his flustered look, Zhou Mian smiled again: "Anyway, thank you this time. Without your help, my friend and I might not have been able to get out of here unscathed. I have something to do today, so I'll be going now. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
He said he wanted Zhou Mian and was about to leave.
Just as Murong Chen was about to say something more, a policeman suddenly came out of the interrogation room: "Hey, Zhou Mian, are these your things?"
Zhou Mian looked and saw that it was one of her cardholders that had been left behind. She quickly took it back and said, "It really is. It probably slipped out when I put my bag down. Thanks."
"It's alright, just keep an eye on things in the future."
The police said they were going back in, so Zhou Mian put her wallet away, waved to Murong Chen, and was about to leave.
Murong Chen, who was standing next to him, suddenly grabbed him and said, "Wait!"
Zhou Mian was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
"That person just called you... Zhou Mian?"
Zhou Mian nodded: "Yes."
Murong Chen's voice was somewhat urgent: "You, aren't you called Stephen Chow?!"
“Ah, that’s my nickname,” Zhou Mian said with a smile. “Xingxing is easier to pronounce, and all my friends call me that.”
Looking at her smiling face, Murong Chen felt his heart skip a beat.
After a long pause, he stammered, "You...do you know what my name is?"
Zhou Mian was puzzled, but then she realized that she hadn't actually asked his name, so she smiled and said, "Then tell me your name."
Murong Chen looked at her intently and slowly said, "Murong Chen, my name is Murong Chen."
On the other side, Zhou Mian was stunned.
She stared blankly at the person in front of her, her thoughts instantly pulled back to a distant past.
It was when she was in kindergarten that she was bullied by a few rascals who stole her butterfly hair clip.
A little boy rushed out, stood in front of her, pulled his sister back, and helped her get her hair clip back, thus avenging her anger.
At that moment, he smiled and said to himself, "My name is Murong Chen! I'll protect you from now on!"
After kindergarten, they went to different schools, and with her family taking care of them, their relationship gradually broke down.
But the image of the two siblings was deeply etched in her mind at that time, and she never forgot it.
She later learned kung fu, influenced by her older sister.
I believe that girls should rely on themselves to protect themselves.
But she never expected that the person in front of her was the little boy who jumped out to protect her when she was a child.
Upon closer inspection, they do indeed resemble each other somewhat.
She finally understood where the sense of familiarity she felt when she saw him came from.
Murong Chen saw that she was stunned at first, and then a smile slowly appeared on her face, and his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
He let out a long sigh, and the corners of his lips curled up: "You just said you wanted to treat me to dinner, so why not do it today? If you're busy, I can wait for you."
Zhou Mian's smile widened: "I just remembered that today's matter isn't that important. Why don't you choose the restaurant?"
Murong Chen's eyes sparkled with laughter: "No problem, I'd be happy to."
