He called her baby again?
Su Yue looked at him in surprise and slowly asked, "You called me baby again?"
"Can't I?" He lay down, pulled her into his arms, and replied.
"It's not that..." she hesitated.
"Sleep quickly. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you out to buy things for this place," he interrupted her thoughts, gently stroking her back.
Su Yue felt her head growing heavier and her body lighter. The fear that had awakened her moments ago gradually subsided, replaced by an ever-growing drowsiness.
In his arms, she felt truly safe.
She gradually closed her eyes, no longer thinking about anything else.
When she woke up, it was past eight o'clock, and Chen Ziming was not by her side.
He always woke up earlier than her, so she didn't pay it any mind. She got out of bed and drew back the curtains.
The weather was sunny, and the slight gloom from yesterday vanished completely.
After washing up, she went to the living room. Chen Ziming was on the phone.
"I'll be there in ten minutes," he said to the person on the phone when he saw Su Yue emerge, then hung up.
"Where are you going again?" she asked, sounding a little displeased.
"There's a document at the station that's locked in my locker at the changing room. It was supposed to be for a meeting tomorrow, but they suddenly need it today," he replied.
"Oh..."
"Change your clothes, I'll take you with me," he suddenly said.
"Take me with you? To your station?" she asked, confused.
"You can wait in the car. I'll grab the document, and then I'll take you out for brunch," he said, putting on his shoes by the door.
This... the timing was too tight.
But she quickly changed her clothes, applied sunscreen, and put a brow pencil, eyeliner, and lipstick in her bag, intending to do her makeup in the car.
There weren't many cars at this time on a weekend. In twenty minutes, they reached the Yuluo Street Police Station.
Chen Ziming shifted the car into park and got out.
Su Yue finally had time to pick up her makeup tools, pull down the mirror on the passenger side, and start applying her makeup.
This car was quite good, including the privacy film, so it was difficult to see inside from the outside unless one was very close.
As soon as she finished her makeup, she noticed two girls standing not far from the driver's side. One was linking arms with the other, pointing in their direction.
Who were these people?
She got out of the car, somewhat puzzled, intending to ask them what they were doing and if they were looking for Chen Ziming.
The two girls were stunned when they saw her get out of the car, especially the one who had been pointing. Her face turned pale, and she appeared flustered.
"Are you looking for Chen Ziming?" she asked, still not understanding the situation.
"Su Yue?" Lin Xiaoman happened to get out of a taxi not far away and walked towards her when she saw her.
Seeing Lin Xiaoman, the two girls quickly slipped away.
"Hey, you guys..." Su Yue watched them disappear around the corner curiously, feeling somewhat confused.
"You said you had no relationship with Chen Ziming, and yet you just got out of his car?" Lin Xiaoman ignored the two girls and came up to her, asking meaningfully with a hint of a sly smile on her face.
"Well... now, there's a little bit of a relationship..." Su Yue replied shyly when Lin Xiaoman asked, but she still thought of the girls who had just left and asked,
"Sister Xiaoman, do you know those two girls?"
Since they ran off when they saw Lin Xiaoman, she figured they might know each other.
"Them? I don't exactly know them, but they often come here," Lin Xiaoman smiled slightly. "Don't be angry when I tell you, but they live nearby. Whenever they have free time, they come to see Chen Ziming, bring gifts, and one of them even confessed to him."
Su Yue suddenly remembered what the other police officers had said the last time she came to find him here.
You girls always come here to block him...
Lin Xiaoman continued, "It's not just them; it's common. We're all used to it. Oh dear, if I don't go clock in soon, I'll be late. I'll chat with you properly about you two next time, bye~"
"By the way, you two are especially well-matched," she turned back and smiled at Su Yue, adding.
Su Yue, who was still thinking about the girls who came to see Chen Ziming, blushed at her words.
Just then, Chen Ziming came out. Lin Xiaoman ran into him, stuck out her tongue at him, and ran past him into the station.
He smiled helplessly and walked towards Su Yue.
