The Case of Love

Chapter 19 A Little Bit Moved
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the carriage and Su Xiaohan didn't respond.

She was not stupid, nor was she a young and ignorant girl. She could see that Zhu Nanfeng's feelings for her were not friendship or sibling love. But she could not accept this feeling. She really regarded Zhu Nanfeng as a brother and could not let their relationship change from siblings to lovers. To her, this was simply too outrageous, like incest.

"Xiaohan, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. You can think about it. I can wait." Zhu Nanfeng didn't dare to look at Su Xiaohan, for fear of seeing the word "rejection" on her face.

"Brother Nanfeng, I... never thought about..."

"Then start thinking about it from now on." Zhu Nanfeng interrupted her.

"Brother Nanfeng, you are very important to me, just like my family, but my feelings for you will not change. You will always be my brother!" Su Xiaohan didn't want to drag it out and make him wish for something and then be disappointed.

The carriage fell into silence again. Zhu Nanfeng said nothing more.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door of Su's house. Zhu Nanfeng watched her enter the yard before starting the car and leaving. He knew Su Xiaohan's personality and was afraid that being too impulsive would affect their friendship of many years. At least, they were still brother and sister, childhood friends.

Su Xiaohan was getting tired, and went upstairs to sleep as soon as she entered the room. In her dream, Zhou Yifeng called her and asked her to go to the crime scene. She woke up in a cold sweat.

On the bedside table, her cell phone was vibrating.

It turned out that it was not a dream, Zhou Yifeng really called her.

"Su Xiaohan, take a look, is my wallet with you?" Zhou Yifeng's voice was filled with anger on the other end of the phone.

After Zhou Yifeng reminded Su Xiaohan, she remembered that when they left, Zhou Yifeng was drunk, and Li Zhisong and Zhu Xiaofeng supported him. She helped him take the wallet on the table, but she probably forgot to return it to him.

She quickly got up and looked, and sure enough, there was a black wallet in her bag. In addition to several bank cards, there was also an access card and keys in the wallet.

"Captain Zhou, the wallet is with me, and there's the access control and keys inside!" Su Xiaohan quickly reported to Zhou Yifeng.

"I can't go home. What do you think I should do, Su Xiaohan?" Zhou Yifeng was still drunk and there was a hint of laziness in his tone.

"Tell me the address and I'll send it to you, Captain Zhou!" Su Xiaohan felt guilty and didn't want to anger him.

"It's too late. I'll go get it."

"Captain Zhou, I'll go. You're drunk, don't move..."

Before Su Xiaohan finished speaking, she heard a "beep" from the other end, and Zhou Yifeng hung up the phone. Su Xiaohan smiled secretly, it seemed that Zhou Yifeng was quite considerate and didn't ask her to send him the key.

Late at night, everyone in the family was asleep and the villa was quiet. Su Xiaohan tiptoed downstairs and waited for Zhou Yifeng in the living room.

Perhaps because there were few cars on the road, Zhou Yifeng arrived in more than 20 minutes. Su Xiaohan put on a coat and went out, holding his wallet in his hand.

Under the streetlight, his handsome face was coated with a layer of gold, adding a bit of coldness and unruliness in the haze. She thought, he looked cold on the surface, but he had a warm heart.

"Captain Zhou, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. I was a little dizzy at the time and forgot to give you the wallet, so you had to come to my house to get it." Su Xiaohan felt guilty and apologized to Zhou Yifeng as soon as she approached him.

"It's okay, it's good to sober up." Zhou Yifeng smiled slightly, and the anger before was melted by her apologetic face. "Captain Zhou, I'll call a taxi for you." Su Xiaohan took out her mobile phone and wanted to call an online taxi for Zhou Yifeng.

"No need, I'll go for a while to sober up. You go back!" Zhou Yifeng subconsciously held her hand.

The moment he touched her, Su Xiaohan's hand froze slightly, and the warmth of his palm made her heart beat faster. This was the most intimate contact. After he finished speaking, Zhou Yifeng turned and left. Su Xiaohan was alone there, watching his back disappear at the street corner before walking into the yard.

Su Xiaohan felt that she was very disappointing. Since junior high school, she had always been pursued by boys. When had she ever had a crush on anyone?

After crossing a street corner, Zhou Yifeng waved and called a taxi. He was already very sleepy, but he didn't want Su Xiaohan to call a taxi for him, so he said he wanted to walk for a while to sober up. Zhou Yifeng is not sexist against women, but he thinks that the profession of police is more suitable for men. It is an indisputable fact that women are naturally inferior to men in strength. However, since Su Xiaohan came to the police force, his idea has been shaken. The role she played in the two cases that were just solved cannot be ignored. He originally wanted to praise her well during the dinner, but because Zhu Nanfeng was there, he inexplicably didn't want to talk.

He didn't want to figure out why. He fell asleep as soon as he got home. After two days, the thing he wanted to do most was to sleep.

The next morning, Zhou Yifeng woke up to the sound of an alarm. Normally, he would wake up naturally around six o'clock and rarely needed an alarm. He turned off the alarm and picked up his phone to check WeChat.

The top message was just sent by Li Zhisong: "Boss, Xiaohan is really nice. She came early in the morning and brought breakfast for everyone. It's the pan-fried buns made by her aunt. It tastes very good. Come quickly and eat together!"

Zhou Yifeng smiled. This Li Zhisong was a typical foodie.

He put his phone aside, went to the bathroom to wash his face and went out. It was nice to have no cases, even the air was fresher than usual.

When he entered the office, Su Xiaohan, Li Zhisong and others were sitting around the desk in the middle eating.

"Boss, you're here. If you don't come, the buns will get cold!" Li Zhisong was sitting facing the door and was the first to see him.

Seeing him coming, Su Xiaohan hurriedly stood up and handed him a box of steamed buns.

"Thank you!" Zhou Yifeng took the pan-fried buns and smiled gratefully. If he hadn't read Su Xiaohan's resume, he would have suspected that she was from the south and didn't like fried dough sticks and sesame cakes, but loved pan-fried buns so much.

Like Zhou Yifeng, everyone in the team enjoyed this rare leisure time. Without any cases, being able to sit down and eat breakfast in peace and quiet meant that the city was peaceful. For the police, this was definitely a comforting thing.

Zhou Yifeng held the lunch box and ate five pan-fried buns in a row. They were stuffed with beef and onions, which was his favorite flavor.

"Boss, I want to take a day off tomorrow to take wedding photos with my girlfriend." Seeing that Zhou Yifeng had a good appetite, Zhu Xiaofeng guessed that he was in a good mood, so he said to him with a smile.

"Go ahead, I'll grant you leave!" Zhou Yifeng agreed readily.

Su Xiaohan had just arrived and didn't know the people in the team well enough. She didn't know Zhu Xiaofeng was going to get married. When she heard him say that he wanted to take wedding photos, she hurriedly congratulated him with a smile.

"Junior sister, you should congratulate him. He has been with his wife Zhu Qianqian for several years. If they don't get married, his girlfriend will probably run away with someone else!" Li Zhisong said fearlessly.

"That's right. The last time they were preparing to get married, Xiaofeng was injured and hospitalized, which delayed them for several months. This time, I hope everything goes well!" Ma Nan followed Li Zhisong to tease Zhu Xiaofeng.

"You two are such bad luck, can't you please hope for me? We are going to take wedding photos tomorrow and get the marriage certificate next month! I think you two old bachelors are just jealous that I am getting married..." Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xiaofeng realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was not the only bachelor in this room. The team leader Zhou Yifeng was still single.

Fortunately, Zhou Yifeng didn't pay any attention to what he said. When they talked, he kept staring at his phone, and his originally relaxed brows gradually frowned. His classmate in C City, W Province sent him a message saying that he had found a clue about the person he asked him to help find.
