Chapter 170 What a Sour Smell (1/2)
On the next morning, Xiang Wan did not see Cheng Zheng delivering breakfast, so she went ahead and bought a lot of food, then hailed a cab and went to the Criminal Investigation Unit.
Due to Zhou Dequan's case, many detectives worked overtime. When she went inside the office, she saw lots of them had dark circles under their eyes.
”Morning!”
”Morning, Teacher Xiang.”
”I brought you breakfast. Have some while it's hot?”
”Thank you! You're too nice…”
”Don't mention it…”
She handed out a few sets of breakfasts before asking Little Liu. ”Is Captain Bai here? I brought him a set too!”
Little Liu was busy keying in some data on his computer. He did not even lift his head to reply. ”He just came back from the detention center. I think he should be inside his office now.”
”I see.” Xiang Wan gave it a thought and asked another question. ”How about Captain Cheng?”
Little Liu stopped his work when he heard that and looked at Xiang Wan with a puzzled look. It seemed as though he was puzzled that she would also give Cheng Zheng a set of breakfast—this was because Cheng Zheng was notoriously known for being difficult to approach.
Xiang Wan did not know why he looked puzzled. ”What's up? He's not in?”
Little Liu pointed towards the ceiling. ”He's upstairs. He's here since yesterday night.”
Oh, no wonder!
Xiang Wan gave him a friendly smile.
”Alright, please go ahead to do your work. I'll give them their breakfast!”
She had bought breakfast for those she was closer with so as not to appear too obvious when she brought Bai Muchuan breakfast. It could be said that in order to give Young Master Bai breakfast, she had racked her brains over it.
When she brought the food and entered Bai Muchuan's office, she saw him looking at the laptop screen and was busy typing something. He gave her a glance. ”Teacher Xiang, feed me!”
”…” What?
Xiang Wan felt helpless as she fed him a small meat bun. ”How is it?”
Bai Muchuan swallowed the meat bun in no time and nodded his head. ”The taste is fine.”
Xiang Wan raised an eyebrow and felt amused. ”I'm asking you how is the case?”
Bai Muchuan's eyebrows seem to move a little, looked at her, and opened his mouth again.
Pffft! Xiang Wan could not resist laughing. ”I feel like you're a baby bird waiting to be fed!”
Bai Muchuan smiled teasingly. ”Please feed me!”
”… You!” Xiang Wan fed him another small meat bun.
He gave a satisfied grunt. This time, Bai Muchuan ate more elegantly. That also meant that he was really hungry earlier.
Xiang Wan felt a little heartache for him. She gave him the soybean milk. ”Here, drink some, slowly.”
Bai Muchuan enjoyed her attentiveness. This time, he did not complain about soybean milk not having the smell of soybean. He drank almost half of the soybean milk and wiped his mouth elegantly. ”Teacher Xiang, do you know when you look the prettiest?”
”…” Xiang Wan felt this change of topic was sudden. ”When?”
Bai Muchuan smiled casually. ”When you're serving me.”
Urgh! Xiang Wan glared at him. ”Why are you so shameless?”
Bai Muchuan gave her a glance and went back to look at his laptop. ”How am I shameless?”
Xiang Wan followed his line of sight and saw the laptop screen showing the investigation report of Zhou Dequan that Bai Muchuan was working on.
She creased her eyebrows and snorted. ”You want praise and want to be served because you caught a bad person. In short, you wanted to take advantage of me by making me buy breakfast for you every day!”
Bai Muchuan smiled casually, a meaningful glint flashed past his eyes. ”I want to have a taste of how it feels like to have someone buying breakfast for me every day…”
