I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

As night fell, the city's neon lights twinkled like stars, illuminating the figures of Li Wei and Lin Yue walking side by side. Ever since the last case, the relationship between the two seemed to have subtly changed. Zhang Wanqing watched them, a flicker of relief in her eyes. She knew that her matchmaking might truly lead to a lasting romance.

Li Wei and Lin Yue strolled along the riverside path, the moonlight casting a shimmering light on the water. Their shadows stretched long under the light, and occasionally a night breeze blew, bringing with it the fresh scent of the river.

Li Wei's mood was a bit complicated. He could feel Lin Yue approaching. Her breathing and her steps made his heart beat faster. He cleared his throat and tried to break the silence: "Lin Yue, are you okay with what happened last time?"

Lin Yue smiled slightly, her eyes seemed particularly gentle in the moonlight: "I'm fine, thanks to you."

As they continued walking, Li Wei gradually relaxed and began to tell stories about his past, his glories and setbacks in the police force, and the confusion and loneliness after resigning. Lin Yue listened quietly, her eyes filled with sympathy and understanding.

Their conversation shifted from work to life, from the past to the future. Lin Yue also shared her own story, her aspirations, and her dreams. As Li Wei listened, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he found that he liked this strong yet gentle woman more and more.

The next day, Zhang Wanqing arranged a gathering for four people at a retro-style cafe, where soft jazz music played and the aroma of coffee filled the air.

Li Wei and Lin Yue sat by the window, overlooking the bustling streets. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan sat across from them, their conversation relaxed and enjoyable.

Zhang Wanqing looked at Li Wei and Lin Yue, a sly look in her eyes: "You two seem to be getting very close lately."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Wei's face. He coughed and tried to change the subject: "Ahem, um, how's work going lately?"

Lin Yue's face flushed slightly, and she said softly, "I'm fine. I'm following up on a new project recently."

Fu Siyuan laughed and interrupted, "I see you two don't just collaborate on work."

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan's teasing made Li Wei and Lin Yue feel a little uncomfortable, but a smile flashed in their eyes. They knew that behind their friends' teasing was their concern and blessings for them.

One night a few weeks later, Li Wei received a call from Lin Yue. There was a hint of anxiety in her voice: "Li Wei, can you come to my house? I have something to tell you."

Li Wei immediately rushed to Lin Yue's home, his heart full of worry. When he arrived, he found Lin Yue standing at the door with a hint of tension on her face.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Wei asked with concern.

Lin Yue took a deep breath, her eyes showing a hint of determination: "Li Wei, actually, I...I like you."

A strong emotion surged in Li Wei's heart. He looked at Lin Yue, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but also a hint of relief. He said softly, "Lin Yue, actually, I like you too."

Their eyes met in the moonlight, their hearts filled with joy and anticipation. This was a new beginning, an opportunity they both could seize.

As time went on, Li Wei and Lin Yue's relationship grew stronger. They began to plan their future together and face life's challenges together. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan watched them with joy.

They knew their matchmaking had paid off; Li Wei and Lin Yue had found each other and their own happiness. Li Wei, in particular, was healed by the gentleness of Lin Yue. He softened, learned to share, and learned how to love someone. He was no longer the reckless, rough man he once was, but gradually became more considerate.

On a sunny afternoon, Li Wei and Lin Yue sat on a park bench, each holding a favorite book and occasionally exchanging thoughts. The sun shone on them, bringing warmth and tranquility.

Li Wei said softly: "Lin Yue, I think we can do a lot of things together."

Lin Yue smiled slightly, her eyes full of happiness: "Yes, Li Wei, we can face the future together."

The two held hands tightly, their hearts filled with expectations for the future and commitments to each other.

The morning sun shone through the half-open curtains, illuminating Li Wei's face. He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warmth of the light. Today was the first day he and Lin Yue were investigating a difficult case together. He sat up in bed, took a deep breath, and prepared himself for the new challenge.

Li Wei put on a dark blue shirt and casual pants and stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his outfit. His eyes revealed a hint of determination. He knew that this case was not only a work collaboration for him and Lin Yue, but also a test of their relationship.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue was busy in her apartment. She wore a simple white shirt and black trousers, her hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Her eyes held a hint of anticipation, yet also a hint of nervousness. She knew this case was more complex than any other before, and she needed Li Wei's help and his trust.

The two met in the newspaper's conference room, where case files and photos of the suspects hung on the walls. Li Wei and Lin Yue sat at opposite ends of a long table, their eyes meeting as they looked at the files, both revealing a hint of seriousness.

"This case is not simple," Lin Yue said with a hint of solemnity in her voice, "We need to proceed with caution."

Li Wei nodded, his eyes showing a hint of determination: "I will do my best to help you."

They began to discuss the details of the case, from the suspect's background to the possible motive for the crime. Li Wei's police intuition told him that there was a deeper secret behind this case. They needed more evidence and more clues.

The afternoon sun was scorching as Li Wei and Lin Yue walked along the busy street, their eyes searching the crowd. They were tracking a suspicious figure who might be directly connected to the case.

Li Wei's eyes were sharp, and he quickly scanned the crowd, searching for that familiar figure. His heartbeat quickened a little. He knew that this pursuit might bring danger, but he couldn't retreat.

Lin Yue followed closely behind, her eyes a little nervous, but her steps firm. She trusted Li Wei, and she knew that as long as they were together, nothing was impossible.

Just then, they spotted their target. A man in a black jacket hurried through the crowd, a look of panic on his face. Li Wei and Lin Yue exchanged a glance and immediately followed him.
