The next day.

The sun in winter is always covered with a layer of cold fog, which looks dazzling but has no warmth at all.

Robin's biological alarm clock is to wake up at seven o'clock in the morning. No matter whether he stole cattle, herded sheep or was drunk last night, he could always wake up at seven o'clock the next day.

But the place where I wake up is always unexpected.

The benches in the park, the shoe cabinet at the door of the house, the coffee table in the living room, and sometimes sleeping on the lawn for a night.

Thanks to the police, if you are in good health, you will be willful. After a night of cold wind, without a quilt, you will only have two clear noses. Just drink a cup of hot water and you will be fine.

The man opened his eyes dimly. He patted his face hard to clear his mind, and then looked at his surroundings.

The horizontal chair at the door of the police station restroom.

Hmm...it's not bad, except for the strong taste, at least it won't be late.

"Hey, Captain Luo, why are you so early today? Oh, you smell like alcohol. If the leader smells it, he will definitely give you a lecture."

"What's the smell of alcohol? Have you finished your work? Are there not enough cases? I'll give you a few more right away."

"I can't help it, I'm giving up."

"It saves you so much time every day." Luo Bin twisted his neck. He had a hard night's sleep and was inevitably a little stiff.

The man did a few stretches and walked towards his work station. He wandered past the door when he was stopped by a timid female voice.

"Luo... Luo Bin..." It was a voice as thin as a mosquito. Why could he hear it?Of course it's because of a conditioned response to a certain sound.

When the man looked toward the door, the gentle light shone through the branches on a hazy girl.

I couldn't see clearly, I just knew it was a girl.

When the man approaches...

She was wearing an ivory white pullover with a pattern of a rabbit with lop-eared ears, and a pair of khaki short boots. Although she was wearing velvet stockings, from a distance, it looked like she had two white legs exposed.

"Xue Ying?" Luo Bin walked towards the door in disbelief and looked up and down: "You...how did you..."

Why are you here alone?
The girl's eyes were dark and blue, and she pretended to be calm on her face, but in fact her hands hidden in her sweater were clenched and bloodless.

"I'll... you'll... be free..." She knew that she always stuttered, so she kept her words as short as possible.

Even if you cut off the beginning and end, people can understand what it means.

Only then did the man understand the meaning of her words. Although he was happy that she could walk out on her own, he felt empty in his heart.

It's like life has lost its momentum.

"Are you... unhappy?" In addition to the language barrier, Xue Ying has excellent eyesight. She can keenly detect any small fluctuations.

Robin shook his head and didn't know how to explain it. He just turned away and glanced at the breakfast shop opposite.

"did you have breakfast?"

"No."

"What time did you come out?" He just asked casually. It only took 30 minutes to walk from the police station to her apartment. No matter how late it was, it would have been 45 minutes later.

Xue Ying pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and said in a low voice: "2 o'clock."

"Ang?" It's not that the man didn't hear it, but he was a little surprised: "2 o'clock in the morning?"

"Yeah." The girl blinked: "I... this is the first time... From now on, the speed... will be faster."

Sure enough, it was still too difficult for her to face the crowd alone.

But at least everything is going in a good direction, right?
The man held his forehead: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have breakfast first."

Xue Ying looked at him and saw that his face was swollen and he could smell some alcohol on his body. He was not in a good condition.

"You...went back yesterday?" Xue Ying was referring to him going back to Huo Qi's team?
According to Xue Ying's understanding of him, it was unlikely that he would go back to drink.The man shook his head: "I didn't go."

"Then...why did you drink?"

"I have nothing to do, just drink and play when I'm bored."

Xue Ying knew that was not the case, but she did not continue to ask further questions and followed the man obediently.

She is thin and small, and she likes to lower her head. At first glance, she might be thought to be a junior high school student, but in fact she has graduated many years ago.

Luo Bin asked her before: Is there anything she wants to learn?

What he meant was that if he could, he would give her money to study.

However, Xue Ying didn't like strangers, and an ordinary person like him couldn't afford to hire a tutor, so the matter was dropped later.

Xue Ying is quite good at home. She arranges flowers on weekdays, has a lazy orange cat, and likes to watch movies alone.

As for other interests and hobbies, even Luo Bin doesn't know.

The two of them sat at the table set up by the breakfast shop on the roadside. Luo Bin brought her a pair of disposable chopsticks and set the bowl, as if taking care of a child.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he just thought it was to take care of his sister or a child.

"How much... did you spend to raise me?"

"?" The man had never calculated this, and thought it was a bit strange for her to ask these questions: "How much can you eat with your little bird's stomach?"

What the man meant was that with her small appetite, it wouldn't cost much to eat together.

"I ate you...a lot of money." Xue Ying was very sure of this matter.

Although she had never worried about money, since her brother's death, she has relied on Luo Bin for everything.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation cost money.

Even the apartment she lives in now is paid by him. It is said that he wants to rent it, but when he is busy with work, he always sleeps in the police station or sleeps in a corner.

He obviously spent money but lived a homeless life.

He is obviously a young man, but he looks like a frustrated uncle.

Xue Ying stared at him with her bright eyes, knowing too well.

He works so hard every day on duty as a police officer. He lives frugally, but he still has to support someone who has nothing to do with him.

He must be very tired.

"Can you eat obediently?" Luo Bin is not a person who likes to fuss with women, and why should he care about things that are external to him?

Xue Ying was inexplicably annoyed by him. She pursed her lips and stopped talking, but her thoughts became more determined in her heart.

"Tell me, how did it take you five hours to walk from the apartment to the police station?" Luo Bin was angry and funny. Compared with the awkwardness with her at the beginning, now he is like an old friend.

Although she is different from others in that she is awkward in speaking and sometimes timid, she also has good points.

For example, be sincere and don't lie, be simple and kind.

Xue Ying was a little hungry, so she drank a bowl of soy milk, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then spoke.

When she went out early this morning, Xue Ying stood at the door for a long time, mustering up her courage, then opened the door and walked out.

She doesn't like to use the elevator when she's alone, preferring to take the stairs because there's no one around.

Then...he still didn't leave the apartment for more than half an hour.

Because it was early in the morning, the surroundings were quiet. She moved out a little bit like a snail, then a little bit further.

Those who don’t know where they think this stupid thief comes from?
