Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Anti-fans Arrive
Night had fallen.
At the Anling Riverbank, a small shop glowed under the night sky, its few yellow, gentle lights casting halos on the stone-paved entrance path, complementing the twinkling stars above.
A gentle breeze fluttered the corner of the shop’s curtain, also tossing Shen Qianqian’s smooth hair into disarray.
Inside the shop, Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian were sitting by the window.
At that moment, Shen Qianqian had changed out of her uniform and into casual clothes, a white chiffon blouse with jeans below, and white canvas shoes on her feet. Her face, tired from days of overtime, was now revitalized, fair and delicate, exquisitely sweet.
Indeed, not working overtime could rejuvenate a person.
Shen Qianqian adjusted the little curl on her forehead and said with a light smile, “Lin Chuan, Qiqi said that Wang Zikai has a fever, so they can’t come.”
Lin Chuan took a sip of jasmine tea and smiled awkwardly, “Uh, Wang Zikai told me too.”
Two minutes ago.
Wang Zikai sent a message: Brother, seize the opportunity well!
Lin Chuan only replied with an ellipsis.
Old Wang really never forgot to consider his brother’s lifetime matters, getting a fever at crucial times, leaving Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian alone together.
It’s the thought that counts!
However, the atmosphere between the two was somewhat awkward.
Because Lin Chuan had only wanted to freeload a meal and had not anticipated that Wang Zikai and Xue Qiqi would stand them up.
He didn’t know what topics to talk about with Shen Qianqian.
With others around, he could chat away, but alone, it was as if his mouth had been sewn shut, and he couldn’t squeeze out a sentence for the life of him.
That was, perhaps, the predicament boys face when alone with a girl.
Fortunately, Shen Qianqian took the initiative to speak, “Lin Chuan, where did you learn those investigative techniques from?”
Lin Chuan was taken aback, “Officer Shen, why do you ask that?”
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, her clear eyes staring earnestly at Lin Chuan as she said sincerely, “I think you have a lot of criminal potential.”
Cough!
Lin Chuan choked on the jasmine tea, coughing harshly, “Officer Shen, you can’t talk recklessly like that!”
Shen Qianqian burst into laughter, revealing shallow dimples, “Isn’t that the case?”
“That’s a dangerous thought!” Lin Chuan said with a wry smile, “And here I was, thinking you were a true fan today, only to find out you’re an anti-fan.”
Number one anti-fan!
Day in and day out wanting to drag me away and subject me to severe interrogation!
The professional habit of a detective was such, to want to check if anyone had a case on them and then bring them back to the police station to boost their performance.
Shen Qianqian chuckled, “You still haven’t answered my question.”
Lin Chuan looked into Shen Qianqian’s sincere eyes and thought for a moment, “If you’ve forged a thousand crime scenes, then investigating a scene would be as simple as drinking water to you.”
In terms of investigating cases or conducting interrogations, Lin Chuan wasn’t an expert.
But when it came to examining crime scenes, he was second to none.
Because he had indeed forged countless crime scenes!
Shen Qianqian’s eyes widened, “Who could have forged so many scenes?”
“That’s why it depends on talent,” Lin Chuan replied with a smile.
“So, you’re saying you’re a Criminal Investigation Genius?” Shen Qianqian’s eyes twinkled, and she began to smile.
“Thanks for the compliment,” Lin Chuan grinned.
Shen Qianqian smiled as well.
By the riverside cafe, the evening breeze gently blew, and the atmosphere between the two eased considerably.
Lin Chuan took a light sniff of the breeze.
The Anling River was well-maintained; there was no stench, and the night breeze carried the fresh scent of riverside herbs, refreshing the spirit.
This feeling was somewhat peculiar.
Although Lin Chuan was a professional web novel writer, even he couldn’t accurately describe it.
Perhaps, it was the prospect of a bright tomorrow beckoning him.
