Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Taking Zhao’er on a Picnic_1

Hu Qing nodded, "Mm."

"We’ll go to Woniu Village tomorrow, and while we’re at it, pick some Fragrant Torreya nuts to fry and eat."

...

After leaving the criminal police brigade, you called Zhao’er for the first time ever, and well, how should I put it, you felt suddenly a little excited.

Some might find you overly sentimental, given you’ve already shared such intimate moments as sleeping in the same bed, to be a little excited over a phone call.

But that’s what outsiders think; others naturally don’t understand your feelings.

Though your identity has changed somewhat from before, you are still you, someone longing to roam freely under the blue sky with Zhao’er.

With Zhao’er’s arrival, your once peaceful life underwent significant changes: Er Ya returned, and you were also saddled with a crazy woman who kept pestering you relentlessly.

But to you, Er Ya remains the childhood sweetheart of old, and while your heart still holds tenderness and care for her, it is precisely because of this familiarity that she feels more like family rather than a girlfriend.

As for the crazy woman, Xian Qianling, there’s no need to elaborate. Though grateful and touched by her commitment to you, it’s hard for one heart to hold two at the same time, especially now when your heart is already full of Zhao’er.

You keep telling others that Zhao’er is your girlfriend, yet the actual communication between you two has been minimal, virtually nonexistent.

Firstly, because Zhao’er hasn’t regained her sense of mind, unable to grasp your feelings and only instinctively close to you; secondly, truly, the time spent together was too little, each brief meeting quickly leading to separation.

Zhuji is a place famous for producing beautiful women, endowed with outstanding people and a spiritually nurturing environment; speaking of beauties, the most renowned is Xishi, yet apart from her, there’s also another beauty from the same village, Zheng Dan. In the past, both she and Xishi were sent by King Goujian of Yue to the palace of Fu Chai. Together, they bewitched Fu Chai, leading to the downfall of the Wu State.

This time, while helping Hu Qing to solve a case, you also want to take this opportunity to bring Zhao’er out, to breathe in some fresh air, and hopefully stimulate something that could enhance her mental acuity.

After a crisp, pleasant piano tune, Zhao’er’s dim voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yun."

Sitting in the car, you were taken aback and immediately asked, "Zhao’er, how did you know it was me calling?"

"Idiot, who doesn’t have caller ID on their phones nowadays."

Yin Guihua’s ruthless mockery came from the other end of the phone.

Rolling your eyes, you spoke to Zhao’er again, "Zhao’er, I’m going to Zhuji for work tomorrow, leaving Hangzhou. Will you come with me?"

"Mm."

Without any hesitation, Zhao’er agreed right away.

"Then I’ll wait for you downstairs at Ladies’ Home at seven in the morning."

"Mm."

"Let’s settle on that, then. You’re busy, so bye."

"Bye."

"Choking to death!"

After hanging up, you made an extremely excited gesture.

To be honest, you’re already thrilled with such a response from Zhao’er, but what you hope for is that she could experience life like an ordinary person, to truly feel life, as only that would be fair to her.

Early the next morning, at six ten.

By five o’clock, he had already been up and had run several laps around the school. Under Yang Kai’s various curses, he took a cold shower, dried his hair, and, in an extraordinarily rare move, even took some moisturizing gel from Yang Kai’s bookshelf to style his hair.

"What the hell! Is the sun rising from the south today? Old Shu is actually fussing with his hairdo." Yang Kai, with his bird’s nest head, peeked out from his covers squinting his panda eyes, "Old Shu, what are you up to?"

"What else, taking Zhao’er out for an outing."

"Tsk."

Rolling his eyes, Yang Kai retracted his head back into the covers.

Wei Shuxian, already dressing on the bed, picked up his glasses, climbed down from the bed along the staircase, and said to you, "Since you’re going out to have fun, make sure to enjoy it to the fullest. We’ll take care of the matters here in Yuhang."

"Mmhmm." You nodded, patting Wei Shuxian’s shoulder, "Be careful in whatever you do, the demons and monsters hidden in Yuhang City are not easy to deal with."

"Don’t worry, we’re not dumb enough to mess with those terrifying creatures. Anyway, you’re not going for good. Right now, our main task is to collect information, and when you come back, we can act together. That will be faster and more efficient."

"Right, that puts my mind at ease."

With Wei Shuxian being the brains of the supernatural detective society, you felt somewhat reassured with him there.

When you drove to the Ladies’ Home, from afar, you saw a graceful figure standing by the flower beds under the corridor.

"Yun."

As soon as you parked the car beside her, she tilted her head up slightly with a calm expression and called out to you.

Zhao’er’s attire was as simple as usual. Like her body, she wasn’t bothered by cold or heat, so while others were still wearing winter clothes, she was only in a well-tailored white ladies’ shirt with light blue jeans, seeming as plain as if she had stepped right out of a painting.

"Zhao’er, get in the car."

"Mmhmm."

Zhao’er directly went around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and sat down.

Actually, from the past until now, you suddenly realized that when there was a certain distance between yourself and Zhao’er, a natural sense of beauty would arise.

At this moment, even just looking at Zhao’er beside you made you feel happy.

She was gazing at you with a blank expression, but in your eyes, she was incredibly adorable.

With a slight tilt of your mouth, you asked her, "Have you had breakfast?"

She shook her head slightly and her long, straight ponytail swayed gently, "I haven’t eaten. I was waiting for you to bring it."

"Hmm?" You hadn’t expected Zhao’er to say something like that and asked, "Did Little Yun teach you to say that?"

"Guihua said that a girl shouldn’t buy breakfast herself, she should wait for her boyfriend to bring it."

You laughed, your smile as splendid as the morning light shining from the eastern sky...

After having breakfast with Zhao’er and arriving at the Criminal Police Brigade’s yard at exactly 7:40.

Seeing your car enter the yard, Xian Qianling jumped down from her equally large Dongfeng Warrior truck and strode towards you, "I say, you’re really punctual, arriving right at 7:40 as you said... Huh? Zhao’er?"

Only when Xian Qianling approached did she notice Zhao’er sitting in the passenger seat, and her expression instantly froze. She shifted her gaze away from Zhao’er’s face, which she found stunning every time she saw it, and said to you, "Why did you bring Zhao’er as well?"

You smiled faintly, "I’m taking Zhao’er out for an outing."
