Chapter 568 - Snatch Red Packets (1/2)

Why was he avoiding her?

Xiang Wan was bewildered. “What’s up? Why are you avoiding me like the plague?”

Bai Muchuan glanced over and felt his fingertips first before touching her arm. “How is it?”

Xiang Wan was still confused. “What do you mean?”

Bai Muchuan looked at her. “How do you feel? Are you cold?”

“…”

He puffed a sigh. “I’m wet all over. I’m worried that you’ll catch a cold.”

“I’m not afraid of the cold!” Xiang Wan gave him an unhappy look and suddenly hugged him at the waist, totally ignoring the fact that his clothes were damp. After that, she looked at him with her big, expressive eyes. “Unless you don’t like me anymore?”

That look of hers where she scrunched her nose made him pat her head.

“I did that for your own good!”

“I know but I don’t mind the cold!” Now that she was relaxed, she behaved like a young girl. “Hug me! Come on!”

Bai Muchuan cracked up and finally relented by hugging her and patting her head.

“I’ve spoilt you.”

“Who says so! This is called sharing weal and woe, get it? You’re so pitiful. You must have been cold. Come hug tighter. Let me warm you up…”

“Little thing, this is the hospital!”

“Are you worried that the young women here might see this?”

“…”

“I’m not worried.”

“Oh? Is it because there’s hardly any young men there?”

Xiang Wan giggled while tilting her head, then she leaned onto Bai Muchuan’s shoulder and snuggled against him. Her voice was soft and sweet, like a cup of natural sugar cane water. “In this way, others could only see you, the indecent guy who was misbehaving in public by acting chummy with another and not me…”

“…”

Indecent?

This woman!

Bai Muchuan reached out a hand, wanting to poke her nose but Xiang Wan dodged it easily. She seemed to have thought of something as she furrowed her eyebrows. “It’s not right, since we already saved Huang He and his life is not in danger, why did you look as if… your parents had passed on or something?”

Such a description might be a little over the top.

Bai Muchuan gave her an unhappy glance. “Teacher Xiang, please reorganize your language.”

“Oh!” Xiang Wan blinked her eyes honestly. “I mean, why do you look so grim? I thought Huang He sacrificed himself or something.”

Bai Muchuan looked up, took a deep breath but didn’t answer her.

“Tell me!” Xiang Wan poked his arm.

“I can’t.”

Why not?

Xiang Wan chuckled, she bit her lower lip and suddenly tickled his armpit.

“Quick, tell me. Do you want to tell me?”

Little thing! Did she think that tickling would be effective against him?

Bai Muchuan was not bothered in the slightest bit. When they walked into the elevator, he gave a smile.

“It’s my first time using mouth-to-mouth… with a man. Can’t I even mourn for a moment?”

Eh?

Mouth to mouth?

So he had dived into the waters and even did a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to save Huang He?

Xiang Wan paused for a moment and actually cackled in amusement!

“It’s true love!”

…

…

The mission last night was very successful.

The police arrested the head of the current Dark Clan and stopped Operation Heaven’s Wrath in time.

In view that they cracked the case before Lunar New Year, this was indeed a great achievement.

While Bai Muchuan was on his way back home, he received several calls.

They were all from his superiors and peers to congratulate him on his good work.

However, Bai Muchuan did not show any sign that he was arrogant about it.

He even felt that he didn’t do well enough on the case.

For instance, there were still a lot of people who consumed the ‘zombie’ drug unknowingly at Grand Orchid Pavilion, even though the police officers arrived there in time and sent all of them to the hospital before the drug had gotten a chance to act up. However, with all the media reports, it still caused quite a lot of negative social effects. There were also drugs that had been sent to different places by An Ying in advance. Hence, several similar cases took place in other cities as well. Fortunately, as they had gotten hold of the list of participants, the situation was kept under control.

“Don’t be so modest!”

“Serious Crime Division One really did great!”
