The Case of Love

Chapter 115 Euphemistic Confession
Seeing that the captain had a stern face and seemed to be in a bad mood, Li Zhisong and others restrained their smiles and stopped laughing.

After calming down, Su Xiaohan quickly thought of the reason why Zhou Yifeng was depressed. Zhou Bicheng had been discharged from the intensive care unit, but Zhou Yiran still had to remain under observation.

After thinking for a while, Su Xiaohan said, "Captain Zhou, everyone has been very busy these days. We can't ask Zhou Bicheng questions until the day after tomorrow. Why don't you relax today? I'll treat everyone to a meal!"

"Okay, this is a good suggestion! Thank you, my rich junior sister!" Li Zhisong was the first to respond.

"Xiao Han is so generous! But we can't let Xiao Han treat us all the time. I'll treat you this time!" Ma Nan also agreed.

Zhu Xiaofeng and Xu Jungang also vied to treat each other, but Zhou Yifeng remained silent.

The air seemed to freeze in an instant, and they all looked at Zhou Yifeng, waiting for his reaction.

"Let me treat you, Xiaohan doesn't need to treat! Xiaohan will decide what to eat!" Zhou Yifeng suddenly said amid the expectant gazes of several people.

"The boss treats us and Xiaohan chooses the place. This is a perfect match!" Li Zhisong looked at Zhou Yifeng, then at Su Xiaohan, his eyes full of meaning.

"That's right, this will be the combination from now on. I'll treat you, and Xiaohan will choose the place!"

When Zhou Yifeng's voice came, they were all surprised. Li Zhisong thought Zhou Yifeng would glare at him or give him a lecture, but he actually agreed with what he said. They seemed to smell something special from Zhou Yifeng's answer, and they all smiled meaningfully.

After get off work in the evening, the team went out to eat together. Li Zhisong asked Ma Nan, Zhu Xiaofeng and Xu Jungang to get in his car and pushed Su Xiaohan towards Zhou Yifeng's car.

Their thoughts were so obvious that Su Xiaohan felt a little embarrassed.

On the way, they didn't say anything. As they were about to reach the barbecue restaurant, Zhou Yifeng suddenly asked, "Xiao Han, why did you block the gun for me that day? Did you know it was dangerous?"

Su Xiaohan was silent for a few seconds and said, "I didn't think too much about it. I was just worried that something might happen to you. It might be instinct."

"Instinct? Is it the instinct to protect your boyfriend?" Zhou Yifeng changed his serious expression and asked her with a smile.

"Captain Zhou, what happened before is all in the past. I don't have to lie to my mother and sister and say you are my boyfriend. Why do you still say that?" Su Xiaohan didn't dare to look at him.

"Yes, judging from the current situation, there is no need to lie to them. It is better to tell them officially." Zhou Yifeng glanced at her and said.

"Tell them formally, tell them what?" Su Xiaohan asked.

"Tell them I'm your boyfriend." When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Zhou Yifeng parked the car on the side of the road. Before Su Xiaohan could react, he pushed the door and got out of the car.

Su Xiaohan quickly got out of the car and followed. Seeing that Li Zhisong and the others had gotten out of the car, she said nothing more.

When they arrived at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, the owner came out to greet them warmly: "Yifeng, you haven't been here for a long time."

"I've been dealing with cases recently and really don't have time to come here!" Zhou Yifeng said with a smile.

"What are we having for dinner today? Same old things?" asked the shop owner.

Zhou Yifeng looked at Su Xiaohan and said to the shop owner: "Ask her what she wants to eat, and we'll eat that!" After that, he strode into the private room.

Behind him, Li Zhisong and others were cheering: "That's right, we will eat whatever Xiaohan wants to eat! We listen to the boss, and the boss listens to Xiaohan!" The shop owner instantly understood the meaning and asked the waiter to take the menu to find Su Xiaohan.

Su Xiaohan felt her cheeks burning, not sure if it was because she was shy or because the room was too hot.

She took the menu from the waiter and ordered some grilled skewers and salad.

Soon, the food Su Xiaohan ordered was served on the table. Looking at the delicious food, Li Zhisong first took a skewer and gave it to Su Xiaohan. He looked around the table and said, "I suggest that although the boss is treating us today, we should thank my junior sister. If it weren't for my junior sister's suggestion, the boss would not have brought us out to eat!"

"That's right, we all have to thank Xiaohan! Please take care of us in the future!"

"Please take care of me, Sister Han!"

"I will cling to Sister Han's thighs from now on!"

After Li Zhisong started, Ma Nan and others responded one after another, and even Xu Jungang, who was usually taciturn, started to make jokes.

While they were talking, Zhou Yifeng just sat there without saying anything, but there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he seemed to be very satisfied with what they said.

Su Xiaohan quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't thank me, Captain Zhou is treating us today!"

"Junior sister, it's non-working hours now, why are you still calling me Captain Zhou? Do you want to change your name?" Li Zhisong suggested and winked at Ma Nan opposite him.

Ma Nan understood and said, “Yes, Xiaohan, change your name, such as Brother Zhou or Brother Feng. It’s all fine. Calling him Captain Zhou all the time sounds so strange!”

Su Xiaohan understood what they meant, but pretended not to understand and said, "I think Captain Zhou is a good name, it shows respect for superiors!"

"Su Xiaohan, you are really hopeless! Forget it, just eat the skewers. They will be cold if you don't eat them now!" Li Zhisong felt a little discouraged when he saw that Su Xiaohan didn't buy his account.

Because they were busy with the case, several people in the team hadn't gathered for many days. After eating a dozen skewers, everyone chatted while eating. Li Zhisong couldn't hold back his words, and when no one was paying attention, he pulled Su Xiaohan out of the private room.

"Junior sister, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Can't you see that the boss likes you?" He deliberately lowered his voice.

"Captain Zhou likes me? How do you know? Did he tell you?" Su Xiaohan asked back.

"Look at the way he looks at you, it's full of love. Also, before you came, he never cared about us so much and even bought us breakfast. Also, when you said you wanted to treat us, he took the initiative to say he would, and said he would listen to you about what to eat. The most important thing is, when you rushed over to block the bullet for him that day, he pulled you behind him without hesitation..." Li Zhisong said a lot in one breath.

His words touched Su Xiaohan deeply. Perhaps, he was right, he really liked her. Just like just now in the car, he asked her to formally tell her mother and sister that he was her boyfriend. Recalling his expression at that time, it didn't seem like he was joking.

Seeing Su Xiaohan's expression change, Li Zhisong said seriously: "Junior sister, I boldly predict that the boss will confess to you soon. He didn't want to say it before because he promised his parents that he would never talk about love until he found his brother. Now that he has found his brother, he can talk about love naturally. So, if the boss says he likes you, don't refuse! The boss is a perfect man!"

"Senior Brother..." Su Xiaohan didn't know whether she should tell him that Zhou Yifeng had already confessed to her in a tactful way.

"What are you two talking about mysteriously?"

Seeing that they had not returned for a long time, Ma Nan came out to look for them.

"I'm telling my junior sister to seize the opportunity and not to miss the chance to meet a good man!" Li Zhisong raised his voice deliberately so that the people in the private room could hear.
