Later, she did keep her promise and took Su Yue out a few times.
She also told Su Yue about the case.
She spoke in great detail, as if performing a ritual for her, and clearly explained the role of reporters in it.
Her intentions were very clear.
Out of respect for the girl's pride, she did not express suspicion or ask too many questions. Instead, she subtly inquired without revealing her thoughts.
She realized that Su Yue had likely not suffered any substantial harm, which put her mind at ease.
But she wanted this girl to know that if she ever found herself in danger, seeking her help would absolutely be reliable.
It was from then on that the idea of becoming a reporter began to germinate in Su Yue's mind.
Later, the reporter transferred to another city, and they couldn't see each other often, but they still kept in touch through letters.
She often told Su Yue about her experiences as a reporter, such as interviewing prominent figures, going undercover for cases, or the articles she had written.
The more she communicated with her, the stronger her desire to become a reporter became.
Especially in her high school year, the reporter returned and appeared on a television program.
Before that, Su Yue would also specifically search for videos of her on camera.
But this time was different. She directly appeared on a major domestic news channel as a representative reporter for a significant official event.
The moment she saw her appear, Su Yue's heart pounded with exceptional intensity.
At that moment, she solidified her goal.
To be a reporter, a reporter who uncovers the truth, a reporter who covers important affairs.
No more hesitation.
And no regrets.
As her high school studies became more demanding, and the reporter's work also grew busier, although they were in the same city, their contact gradually decreased.
The reporter also changed her phone number.
Until Su Yue's last letter disappeared without a trace, they completely lost contact.
But she seemed to remain in Su Yue's life. She was now a famous reporter in the country, often seen on television, and her news articles frequently appeared in various reports.
She was like a lighthouse, taking root in Su Yue's heart.
"Dreaming again, my dear?"
Not receiving her answer, Chen Ziming looked at her pensive face and smiled.
He particularly liked her appearance at that moment.
A bit lost in thought, yet so intelligent.
So he gently pinched her cheek and spoke softly.
Su Yue snapped back to reality, lowering her eyes shyly, avoiding his gaze, and replied in a low voice, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."
"Mmm, I'll hold you as you sleep." He pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead.
He didn't pursue the previous question any further.
Instead, he joined her in falling into a warm afternoon slumber.
In the afternoon, she was awakened by Jin Yan's phone call.
"Officer Chen, while it's comfortable to hold a beauty, what are you doing here? Ren Siyuan has also arrived. I'll take you guys out for a bit. Luo Jia and Xu Changan will be a bit later; their flights are delayed."
Hearing his words, Su Yue shyly buried her head in Chen Ziming's embrace.
Seeing her like this, his heart stirred. He then said to the person on the phone:
"Give me an hour."
Jin Yan was at Ren Siyuan's villa.
After Chen Ziming hung up, Jin Yan looked at Ren Siyuan, bewildered, "Are all beautiful girls this slow? An hour to get ready?"
"Well... perhaps it's not just the girl who needs to get ready." Ren Siyuan rested one hand on the sofa armrest, his fingers tapping lightly. He thought for a moment, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
"You mean... Holy crap." Jin Yan instantly understood, "Officer Chen is really smitten this time."
With his personality, he did everything punctually and without any hesitation.
This was the first time he had ever seen him so slow.
"Is she really that beautiful?" Ren Siyuan was genuinely bursting with curiosity.
"Beautiful, truly beautiful. You wait for an hour; it's unbelievable," Jin Yan replied, then muttered to himself.
But soon, he could understand.
If he were Chen Ziming, with such a beautiful girlfriend, a university student from a prestigious university, so young and tender...
Why would he bother meeting friends?
He wouldn't dare take her to meet friends; he'd want to spend every moment with her.
Unfortunately, he didn't have one.
