Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

"Wait a minute, Xuanli, I have something very important to tell you!"

Zhu Yuan quickly spoke up to stop Xuan Li, then came up to him with a serious look, as if she had to make him agree.

She understood Xuan Li's thoughts, but as he said, this operation would not make much difference with or without Xuan Li's help.

That’s because it was just an excuse to call him over!

"Important matter?"

"Then... I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows in confusion, somewhat curious about the important thing Zhu Yuan mentioned, so he nodded and agreed to her.

I didn't want Zhu Yuan to spend money, but since the situation is like this now, there is no need to think too much about it.

But what puzzled him was that there was nothing between him and Zhu Yuan that required a special meal and politeness to discuss.

Is the relationship between the two of them distant?

Soon, after Seth said goodbye to the two, only Zhu Yuan and Xuan Li were left in the criminal investigation special task force.

"where are we going?"

"Zhu Yuan should have thought it through, right?"

Xuan Li looked at Zhu Yuan and asked.

"Ah...this..."

Zhu Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly. The original plan had been scrapped. The idea of ​​having dinner was something she had come up with on a whim. She had no expectations at all.

"Zhu Yuan, you..."

Xuan Li held his forehead helplessly and suggested:

"How about you just find a good place? I don't have any dietary restrictions or requirements anyway, so it's better to have something more convenient."

Delicious places...

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan immediately started thinking.

Soon, she thought of a place.

So, after a while...

……

"Uh... Zhu Yuan, are you serious?"

Xuan Li looked at the shop that was about to close. He really didn't expect Zhu Yuan to choose this place.

Coming to the breakfast shop in the afternoon?

"Ahem, didn't you say to choose a good place? I don't usually go shopping, so..."

Zhu Yuan smiled awkwardly, realizing that something was wrong. He felt a little embarrassed and planned to go somewhere else to pick one.

Inviting people to a breakfast shop is a bit...

"Oh, it's nothing. No one says you can only eat breakfast at a breakfast shop..."

Xuan Li waved his hand and didn't mind. Zhu Yuan brought him to the breakfast shop, which dispelled his previous doubts.

After all, if the relationship is not very good, no matter what, you will not consciously think of a breakfast shop when it comes to "treating someone to dinner".

"Hey? Is it really okay?"

Zhu Yuan blinked. Compared to her seriousness and solemnity at work, she was now more smart and lively. After all, she was still just a young girl.

"It really doesn't matter."

After receiving Xuan Li's affirmation again, Zhu Yuan smiled happily, put aside all his concerns, and walked into the breakfast shop.

The breakfast shop was not big, and it seemed that Zhu Yuan was not planning to eat here, so Xuan Li stood outside and waited.

Zhu Yuan and the lady at the breakfast shop seemed very familiar with each other. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhu Yuan stated his request with ease.

After waiting for a while, she came out with two bags of food and handed one of them to Xuan Li.

"No, I don't know what you like to eat, so I got you some according to my preferences."

Xuan Li took the food and was a little curious.

"It looks like you come to this restaurant often. You're so skilled at it. It must be delicious, right?"

Zhu Yuan smiled and said

"I can't say it's delicious, it tastes good, but more... I'm just used to it."

"This is the only way between home and the police station. I often don't have time to eat breakfast because of work, but I have to eat, so I often buy it here and then go to the police station."

"It's just right that I can solve the problem of breakfast on the way."

Zhu Yuan took a step forward and took a bite of the steaming bun in his hand while talking. However, he was burned the next second and kept blowing air with his mouth open.

"You don't eat and breathe out to cool down on your way to work, do you?"

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows, feeling a little amused, and said something. Zhu Yuan quickly shook his head when he heard it.

"No, no, I'm not usually this anxious. This time, I didn't notice..."

Zhu Yuan blinked, finally swallowed the food in his mouth, let out a long sigh, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

Looking at the steamed buns, which were still at a reasonable temperature, she smiled slightly. This time, she didn't have to worry about the temperature...

At this moment, Xuan Li on the side asked

"Zhu Yuan, what is the important thing you are talking about?"

"Uuuuuuu..."

As soon as Xuan Li finished speaking, Zhu Yuan became nervous again. Just as she was about to speak, she choked on the food before she could swallow it.

"You, you..."

A few black lines appeared on Xuan Li's forehead, and he sighed helplessly. Then he stretched out his hand, and an ether crystal water cup quickly condensed, and warm water was poured into it almost at the same time.

"Just go along."

Zhu Yuan quickly took the cup of water and took a few sips before she calmed down. Looking at Xuan Li's curious and inquiring expression, the tension in her heart not only did not decrease, but quickly rose again.

She just froze.

As the time they stared at each other grew longer, Zhu Yuan's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

My mind went blank again.

At this moment, a message alert sounded like a savior, quickly attracting Zhu Yuan's attention.

"Wait, let me reply!"

Zhu Yuan quickly took out his flip phone, saw the name of the sender of the message, glanced at Xuan Li, and then quickly walked aside.

After a moment, she came back.

This time Zhu Yuan seemed to have made up her mind. She walked up to Xuan Li with a serious look on her face, and then said solemnly:

"Xuan Li, that..."

"I……"

She knew her own personality and that this would be difficult, so she planned to do it while she still had the courage.

Just when Zhu Yuan was about to risk it, Xuan Li raised his hand and pressed it on her mouth, hesitating and saying in surprise

"Zhu Yuan...you...are not planning to confess?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuan's eyes widened.

No, how could this be guessed?

Is it that obvious?

And judging from Xuan Li’s reaction, he didn’t seem as shocked as expected?

Doesn't that mean she...failed?

The thought flashed through her mind, and Zhu Yuan fell into tension and embarrassment again. Although she knew it was fake, the problem was that Xuan Li didn't know!

So what’s the difference between this and the real thing?!

But deep down she was also a little curious...

What will Xuan Li do?

What kind of response will be made?

Seeing Zhu Yuan's reaction, Xuan Li confirmed his thoughts. Before this, he had never thought that the "important thing" Zhu Yuan was talking about was this kind of thing.
