C39 (2/2)

She was just a head below him, her forehead resting on his chest.

Ning Ruonan's mind was blank. She abruptly stood up from his embrace, not even having the time to leave. He saw Xiao He standing not far behind him with two coffee cups in his hands.

Xiao He's eyes stared blankly, as if he had witnessed everything, but it was unknown where it had begun.

This made Ning Ruonan panic.

Jiang Han turned around and saw Xiao He. However, he put on a proud expression as if he was announcing his victory.

Xiao He did not say anything and just walked over.

Ning Ruonan pushed Jiang Han away.

Back in her seat, she folded her arms and lowered her head.

Xiao He, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened as he placed the cup in front of her table.

She remembered that he said he was going home?

Why did he come back and buy himself a cup of milk tea?

But now she didn't know how to begin.

If so, what would he think?

Did he think I stayed here just to be with Jiang Han?

This usually logical and meticulous policewoman was now as childish as a primary school student. After all, this wasn't a school, so shouldn't dating be about finding a place to sit and chat?

Xiao He naturally knew this in his heart, but he was unable to accept the scene just now.

What did Ruonan say? Why did Jiang Han suddenly hug her? He hated himself for being too late to know the whole story.

The atmosphere in their office had reached zero.

No one spoke all night.

Until Ruonan stood up from her chair, packed her coat and prepared to go to the locker room to change back into her civilian clothes.

Xiao He then turned around.

”How about, I send you back?”

”There's really no need for Xiao He.” With that, he turned to leave.

At this time, Jiang Han also wanted to join in on the fun.

”Ruonan, I'll send you back.”

Ning Ruonan stood where she was, dizzy, as if she had sensed the coming of the apocalypse.

”No need.” After saying that, he left without turning back.

She finally got what she wanted and walked on the cold streets in the late autumn without any worries or caution.

Only the cooler but still warm wind of the south came through every leaf to greet her.

She didn't want to get involved with anyone else. Living alone was actually very easy, even though it was inevitable that they would be old friends sometimes. Remembering someone's smile, gesture, and posture.

But that was only occasionally.

When Jiang Han woke up, he realized that Ruo Nan had already left.

And Shaw, too.

He realized that he had slept for a long time.

Originally, he didn't need to be on duty today, but since he had nowhere else to go, he decided to accompany her.

He was already used to her strong refusal.

It was just like how he knew that she really didn't like him, that she wasn't joking.

He thought she was just that sharp.

In his heart, he was used to escaping.

Only when Xiao He arrived at the police station did he realize that it wasn't.

There are many things that vary from person to person.

Ruonan bought some food from the convenience store downstairs that she was used to eating:

Yogurt, pineapple cans, whole-wheat bread and chips.

Although it was easy to get fat, no one paid too much attention to her figure.

As she walked into the district, her house was at the back.
