A charming and dangerous character

When Cheng Ye went to work at the police station the next day, Qiu Chuyi was still in the bedroom taking care of Qiu Chuchu and did not come out.

I don't know if Qiu Chuyi fell asleep last night. Before leaving, Cheng Ye was worried that he would startle him if he made a noise, so he only left a note on the refrigerator, telling him that he had bought breakfast for him and put it on the table. You can heat it up in the microwave when you want to eat it.

Then he hummed a little song to the stereo all the way, and drove to the police station to work in a good mood.

But Cheng Ye seemed to come here a little early today, and the colleagues on night shift hadn't gotten off work yet. As soon as he entered the office door, he bumped into Lao Gao who was about to go out.

Cheng Ye greeted him with a relaxed tone: "Good morning! Lao Gao." Then he raised the plastic bag in his hand, turned his head and said to the others: "I brought breakfast for everyone!"

The entire office immediately burst into thunderous applause——

"Thank you, team!"

"Long live Brother Cheng!"

"..."

You must know that the last time Cheng Ye enjoyed this kind of treatment like a head of state was in kindergarten, when the teacher awarded him a little red flower because he loved cleaning.

And Gao Zhiqiang stared at Cheng Ye intently after taking the breakfast, as if he regarded himself as an X-ray machine that could see through everything in the world, and looked at Cheng Ye with horror.

"What are you looking at, Lao Gao?" Cheng Ye touched his face uncomfortably, and muttered, "Is there a flower growing on my face? Look so carefully."

Gao Zhiqiang still stared at him, then shook his head and said, "No, boss, you seem to be a little bit out of sorts today..."

Cheng Ye's heart skipped a beat when he said that, thinking that he was hiding Qiu Chuyi, he saw the clue: "What's wrong? I can't be normal anymore, okay!"

"No, I mean you look energetic and radiant today—" Cheng Ye could not help fiddling with his hair when he heard that he was boasting himself.However, Gao Zhiqiang's voice changed immediately: "But you didn't go back to the dormitory to sleep last night, how could you still look rosy today?"

Gao Zhiqiang asked: "Boss, did you commit a crime recently and find a sister-in-law outside for us?"

Qi Zhanzhu immediately followed up with "Oh!", as if he had suddenly figured out something, and muttered in his mouth: "No wonder, no wonder..."

Cheng Ye: "..."

"No wonder you're tall!" He stretched out his hand and patted Lao Gao's fat face: "I told you eight hundred times, don't be influenced by Huang Rong's incomprehensible girl, but you were still 'infected' by her Read the case more when you have time, and read less books such as "Numerology" and "Face Science". We are glorious party members and believe in Marx! Don't always engage in such strange powers."

Gao Zhiqiang's expression immediately turned sad: "It was originally, and I don't want people to say it..."

Over there, Huang Rong's ears heard Cheng Ye's complaints, and she said indignantly on behalf of those books: "Those are precious knowledge handed down from the ancestors! And there is also a scientific basis!" Then she pulled Lin Ze over and looked at the books. With a fierce look, he asked in a threatening tone: "You have the highest education here, Lin Ze, do you think what I just said is right?"

The innocent Lin Ze immediately nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice.

Cheng Ye didn't answer anymore, he turned around and rolled his eyes wildly at Gao Zhiqiang and Qi Zhanzhu.

But after everyone laughed, he suddenly thought of another thing, grabbed Lin Ze and asked again: "By the way, Xiaolin, didn't Expert Xiong tell you to go to Team Song? When are you going to go there? You have to work hard when you get to Team Song." ah!"

Originally, Lin Ze was packing his things. Hearing Cheng Ye's politeness, he said a little embarrassedly: "Team Song had something to do a few days ago, so I'm asked to come over today." Then he put down the things in his hand, and suddenly turned to Looking at Cheng Ye, Gao Zhiqiang and the others, they bent down and bowed deeply: "Thank you very much for taking care of me during this time!"

"Why is this kid so polite?" Gao Zhiqiang usually has the most contact with Lin Ze, and he is also in charge of "childcare" among the three.He quickly helped Lin Ze up and said, "We have taken you for so many days and haven't taught you anything, just don't think we have wasted your time in the future!"

To be honest, although Cheng Ye and the others were entrusted with a heavy responsibility when they came to the S City Bureau, after thinking about it carefully, because of the heavy restrictions, it seems that they have not achieved much after so many days.

And here, after Lin Ze finished packing and left, Gao Zhiqiang came to Cheng Ye mysteriously while going to the toilet, and whispered to him: "Boss, I heard that we will be transferred back to City D soon." It's..."

"Who did you hear this news from? Is it accurate?" Cheng Ye couldn't help frowning when he heard this—if it was true, he was transferred back to City D, and Qiu Chu, who had just arrived at his house to avoid being traced, What should Yi and Qiu Chuchu do?

Cheng Ye didn't realize that he now regarded himself and Qiu Chuyi as a community of interests.

Gao Zhiqiang immediately patted his chest and assured: "100% accurate!" Then he lowered his voice: "Who else, of course, listened to what the 'eldest lady' said, after all, she is the second generation of officials, so she can reveal it." The news must be close to each other."

"Then why didn't Huang Rong tell me?" Cheng Ye was a little puzzled.

Gao Zhiqiang shrugged: "I can't guess this. Maybe it's because you offended him somewhere? That's why you notified me and Qi Zhanzhu, but you were the only one left out."

After Gao Zhiqiang's reminder, Cheng Ye remembered the confession he rejected in the corridor of the police station.

Unexpectedly, this girl Huang Rong would hold grudges so much... How many days have passed, and she still hasn't forgiven him.

I hope that the little girl who returns to the D City Sub-bureau will stop being a monster, otherwise it will be her "territory", but it is true that people use knives to make him a fish - thinking of this, Cheng Ye's head can't help but hurt even more.

Later, when it was almost lunch break, Cheng Ye was called by Bureau Zhang to the chief's office.

Although Zhang Ju also made Kung Fu tea early this time, he did not meet with him as usual, but went straight to the point, and said to Cheng Ye: "Captain Xiaocheng, you should also listen to what your branch office said. Let’s talk, shall we? The task of learning and exchanging has been successfully completed, and tomorrow you can return to your original unit and return to work.”

Cheng Ye did not expect to leave so suddenly, but fortunately he was notified by Gao Zhiqiang in the morning, so he was not too surprised to hear Zhang Ju say this: "I heard from my colleagues." He beat around the bush, but he had to show all the courtesy he should have.

He held up the kung fu tea made by Bureau Zhang on the table, and said politely: "Thank you Bureau Zhang for taking care of our branch staff. After returning home, I will definitely promote the spirit of unity and friendship in City Bureau S with our colleagues! By the way, I am here To offer you a cup of tea instead of wine, this time has also caused you a lot of trouble!"

Bureau Zhang really admired Cheng Ye, because he was very discerning, he knew what to do on certain occasions, and he knew to keep absolutely silent when he was not told to do something.So Director Zhang said from the bottom of his heart this time: "Then you are welcome to come to our Municipal Bureau in the future. I hope that the next time we meet is when you will be promoted and transferred here!"

However, before Cheng Ye left, Zhang Ju suddenly said: "Captain Xiao Cheng, thank you for your hard work when you return to the branch office and say hello to the chief of the bureau, and by the way, give me a message saying that I will help him here." Take good care of Huang Rong."

Cheng Ye couldn't react immediately when he heard this: "Won't Huang Rong go back to the branch office with us?"

"She won't go back with you." Zhang Ju had an unknown smile on his lips, "Don't you know? This girl is also going to 'study' with the new Captain Song!"

Qiu Chuchu gradually woke up this afternoon.

It was like a long dream.When the little girl woke up, she was drenched in sweat, as if she had just had a serious illness. When Qiu Chuchu opened her eyes, she saw her father sitting on the head of the bed, staring at her intently.

The eyes of the father, who rarely showed a tired face, seemed to be full of worry, but Qiu Chuchu didn't understand where this worry came from.

"Dad..." Her voice sounded as weak as her face: "Where are we now?"

The little girl slowly turned her two bright and round eyes, looking back and forth in this strange room.

Although her father was by her side at the moment, the frequent changes in her living environment recently gave this little girl under ten a rare sense of insecurity.

Qiu Chuyi stretched out his hand with pity, and gently stroked the girl's soft and delicate hair: "We are at a friend's house now."

He only gave a brief explanation and did not answer directly, and then looked out of the sunny window. The little girl had been in a coma for almost 24 hours, so he asked: "Chuchu feeling hungry? You haven't eaten for almost a day."

But Qiu Chuchu, uncharacteristically, did not answer her father directly, but just shook her head and said, "Dad, I saw my mother in a dream just now."

When talking about her mother, a layer of mist immediately appeared in the little girl's dark and bright pupils.

In the dream just now, Qiu Chuchu met many unexpected people and encountered many strange things.

The little girl was in the all-glass house in the wilderness for a while, and the grandma who only knew of its existence not long ago was standing beside her, still the old but elegant image of that day—while Qiu Chuchu was a little shy When she shyly wanted to talk to grandma, she looked past grandma and unexpectedly saw her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time behind her.

Jiang Nanxi was still the same as before, no matter the facial makeup or the clothes she was wearing, she was glamorous and beautiful. Although her posture was elegant, she somehow made people feel aloof and unapproachable.

"Oh, is that so?" Qiu Chuyi didn't seem surprised that Qiu Chuchu would have this dream, and his tone sounded even calmer than just now—perhaps in his heart, these illusory dreams are not as good as girls' food and clothing important.

As the father in name, he could understand Qiu Chuchu's sadness at the moment.She was only a child after all, and children miss their mother a lot at some point.

Sure enough, the little girl didn't notice her father's carelessness, and she was still telling her dream and missing a child.

"In the dream, my mother seemed to want to talk to me, but we were so far apart that I couldn't hear what my mother was saying at all... But then, I suddenly saw my mother holding a copy of "The Little Witch Becca" -"

Qiu Chuchu remembered this detail very clearly, because the cover of that manga was black and red, which is relatively rare in teen anime, and she recalled that the content in that manga should be about the only time Becca sneaked out from a semester trip, Then he went to a strange city alone and there were many stories of adventures.

Thinking of the witch who seemed to be full of charm since she held her destiny firmly in her hands, Qiu Chuchu suddenly raised her head and looked straight at her father.She asked: "Dad, do you think Mom wants me to read that book? Mom probably wants me to be brave and independent like Becca when I grow up."

However, this gentle father didn't think so.

He also didn't forget the promise the father and daughter had made at school: "Chuchu, those books have been confiscated by my father. I think even if my mother comes back, she will support my decision."

Feeling that Qiu Chuchu's spirit had recovered, Qiu Chuyi stood up from the chair at this moment, and finally finalized the conversation between the two: "Okay, now Dad is going to cook some food for you, Chuchu, you'd better lie on the bed first Take a good rest."

This day is also a rare day for Cheng Ye to get off work early since he joined the public security team - but it's right to think about it, after all, they will return to the D City Branch Bureau tomorrow, and the S City Bureau naturally does not need them to continue to contribute.

And after Gao Zhiqiang and the others lied that his family had something to do today and planned to return to City D early, Cheng Ye drove to the apartment in the suburbs with the eyes of the two "everyone understands".

While driving, Cheng Ye thought about how to tell Qiu Chuyi about his leaving tomorrow.

He doesn't care about how to schedule his work now, but he has some headaches about how to arrange Qiu Chuyi and his daughter Qiu Chuchu.

In fact, the moment he chose to believe in Qiu Chuyi, Cheng Ye planned to stay by his side and work together with him to find out the real culprit behind this complicated case.

Cheng Ye drove very fast on the road and returned to the community in almost no time.When he just used the key to open the door of the apartment, a scent of food that filled his heart instantly swept him into his arms.

Like the best police dog in the police force, he followed the lingering fragrance all the way to the balcony that was used as a kitchen.And after uncovering the pot lid on the stove, the alluring fragrance really became more fragrant in the air.

Cheng Ye looked at the thick and milky soup inside, and didn't know what Qiu Chuyi used to make it, which turned his rarely-used kitchen into a Michelin-starred existence.

Just as he was about to find a spoon to taste the soup, Cheng Ye suddenly heard the sound of opening the door from the bedroom. Almost at the same time, he immediately put down the lid of the pot in his hand and turned to look at the sunny sky outside the window. I want to pretend that I am mature and will not be tempted by delicious food.

"It's you who came back?" Qiu Chuyi, who came out of the bedroom, was still holding a clean ceramic bowl. When he saw Cheng Ye standing on the balcony, he seemed a little surprised that as a policeman, he would be here at this time get off work.

Hearing his surprise, Cheng Ye explained: "Yeah. Just get off work early today, and we are still busy at this point in normal times."

Qiu Chuyi didn't continue the conversation—with a little thought, one could guess the reason why Cheng Ye and the others were busy a while ago—except for him, Cheng Ye and the others should have nothing else to worry about.

At this time, he also came to the kitchen, and after putting down the bowl in his hand, he asked Cheng Ye: "There is just boiling soup in the pot, do you want to taste some?"

Cheng Ye, who was still struggling to maintain his image just now, immediately nodded and agreed without principle when he heard this: "Eat!" Feeling that he agreed a little too readily, in order to save some face, he found a reasonable excuse for himself : "... I just happened to be hungry too. By the way, do you want to eat something with me after working so hard?"

When the two of them sat down at the dinner table together, Cheng Ye couldn't help but think of the dinner at Qiu Chuyi's house last time, and felt a little sad for a moment.

He really didn't expect that the two of them would sit at the same table for dinner so soon, still in such a peaceful and quiet state.

However, when the milky white soup entered his stomach, Cheng Ye couldn't care less about those unnecessary emotions—because the taste was so delicious that he wanted to swallow his own tongue directly.

However, due to the presence of his former crush, Cheng Ye still tried his best to maintain his image and tried to let himself eat soup slowly.But while staring at the handsome face beside him, he sighed in his heart: It's enough to be handsome, and his cooking skills are so good... I'm afraid this Qiu Chuyi is not the reincarnation of some handsome chef, right?

"Hey, is Chu Chu awake?" Cheng Ye thought of the bowl that Qiu Chuyi took out from the house just now, so he asked, "Is she okay?"

Qiu Chuyi nodded: "Well, Chu Chu woke up about an hour ago, and her body is fine."

"That's good." Although Cheng Ye was concerned, he didn't plan to go and have a look, because he still remembered the unpleasantness between his house and Qiu Chuchu last time - God knows what expression this little girl will show when she sees him, Cheng Ye also didn't want to find excitement for himself.

After the topic was over, the two drank soup in silence for a while, but Cheng Ye had something on his mind, and he always felt extremely uncomfortable if he didn't speak out.

So he thought about it and said frankly: "Actually... there is a reason why I left work early today."

Qiu Chuyi looked at him upon hearing this, as if waiting for him to tell the reason.

"I've 'completed' the task at the S City Bureau." Cheng Ye said while observing Qiu Chuyi's expression: "Also, I will probably return to D City tomorrow."

But to his disappointment, Qiu Chuyi just replied after listening: "Oh, so that's the case."

Cheng Ye couldn't tell why he was a little bit reluctant about this answer: "Then have you thought about where to take Qiu Chuchu after tomorrow? Do you have a detailed 'plan' or 'plan'? Tell me, If there is anything I can help, I will definitely help.”

——As a policeman, he has already hinted so clearly to the suspect. As smart as Qiu Chuyi, he will definitely not fail to understand the meaning behind his words.

However, Qiu Chuyi just turned his head to look at him, there seemed to be thoughtful wrinkles between his brows, and his eyes were calm but full of depth.

"You said you haven't been back to City D for so many years, why not—" Cheng Ye threw an olive branch at him again, and asked tentatively, "Go back with me this time too?"

What the two of them didn't know was that Qiu Chuchu, who was lying in the bedroom, also heard their conversation.

And the little girl immediately thought of the book she saw in her dream and the unusual journey full of adventures.

So she immediately ran out of bed from the bedroom to the living room.

While Cheng Ye was anxiously waiting for Qiu Chuyi's answer, someone suddenly opened the bedroom. Although Qiu Chuchu's face was pale and even a little sick, the expression on her face was the same as usual, and she seemed to be in high spirits.

The little girl looked at the two adults sitting side by side with piercing eyes, but she didn't "correct" Cheng Ye's principle of sitting next to her father as usual.

"Qiu Chuchu?" Here Cheng Ye wondered, "Why did you come out? Has your body recovered?"

But Qiu Chuchu just came to Qiu Chuyi directly, obviously ignoring Cheng Ye's question automatically.

She raised her full head, which was very similar to her mother, and said in a completely uncompromising tone like her father just now: "Father, let's go to City D with Uncle Cheng!"
