Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Li Chui and another colleague rushed back just before the end of the workday; the two had been running around outside all day.

Jiang Shiyue ordered some fast food for them since they hadn't even had lunch yet.

One of the officers, who looked much thinner than Li Chui, wolfed down his food with gusto: "I'm really exhausted today. That suspect is a real runner. Damn it, he ran all day. Even marathon runners aren't as good as him."

Li Chui was in much better shape than him, but he had been starving all day and ate very quickly.

After finishing his meal, he took a cardboard box out of his bag and headed straight for Zhou Liwan's office.

Zhou Liwan was already packing up to leave work when she saw Li Chui and immediately smiled, "Li Chui, you're back! How was it? You must be exhausted today."

Li Chui felt a girl's concern for the first time. He scratched his head shyly and carefully handed over the box: "It's alright. I don't feel tired because I like it very much. I saw this on my way back and thought you might need it."

Miss Zhou has been very kind to me, but my current abilities are really limited, so I can only give her these inexpensive gifts. I don't know if she, a daughter of a wealthy family, will find them distasteful.

Zhou Liwan stared at the somewhat cheap cardboard box the man handed her, took it with delight, and looked at Li Chui sincerely: "I'm so happy to receive this gift, thank you, Brother Li."

Li Chui said happily, "I'm glad you don't mind that it's cheap. It's not a particularly expensive gift. I just thought that you sit in the office all the time and don't exercise for long periods of time, which can cause some damage to your back, so I bought you a lumbar support. It will be more comfortable for you to sit on the chair with it on."

Zhou Liwan's eyes lit up immediately. This gift was so thoughtful: "This is so considerate. It's a small gift but carries a lot of meaning. Thank you in advance."

Seeing that the other person really liked and valued his gift, Li Chui waved his hand contentedly: "Then you can get ready to go home. I won't bother you any longer."

Zhou Liwan smiled and nodded, put the gift down, sat down and tried it out. It was indeed very good.

As Zhou Liwan watched, she picked up her phone and contacted a high-end eyewear store she usually frequented, preparing to order a pair of blue light blocking glasses for both herself and Shen Nanzhou.

My uncle doesn't have many entertainment activities on weekdays, and his eyes must not be able to take it if he stares at the computer all day.

This can be considered as being inspired by Li Chui.

After making the arrangements, Zhou Liwan got up and left work.

When I passed by Jiang Shiyue's office, I found that he was still organizing the case files.

Zhou Liwan gently knocked on the door, and the man looked up, his eyes looking tired: "Ready to leave work? Don't go yet, wait for me a while."

Zhou Liwan was taken aback for a moment, but still went into the office and sat down on the sofa.

"I'll be right there, don't worry."

Zhou Liwan reassured her, "Take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

The two exchanged a smile, and Jiang Shiyue quickly returned to his work.

Zhou Liwan started playing mobile games, which made her quite bored, and time passed quickly.

Night falls, and neon lights illuminate the night.

The night view of City A is exceptionally dazzling.

Jiang Shiyue pinched the bridge of his nose, tidied up, stood up and looked at the little girl who had already fallen asleep.

For a moment, they had the illusion that they had returned to the village of Gouba.

Together they found a small, undiscovered cave and hid there, gaining a rare sense of safety and peace.

That's how she was back then, trusting herself completely, and fell asleep beside him.

That day was also the first time in nearly ten years that the two of them slept so soundly.

They were found not long afterward and faced an even more brutal beating.

Despite being timid as a mouse, she resolutely stood in front of him, protecting him behind her.

Jiang Shiyue carefully sat down next to the girl, his gentle gaze lingering on her face inch by inch.

The fine downy hairs, the delicate little nose—the gaze slowly descends to that soft, pinkish flesh.

It had some kind of coating on it, which made it look crystal clear and delicate.

Jiang Shiyue's eyes gradually darkened, and his sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down instinctively.

The girl seemed to sense something and let out a short, soft moan.

Jiang Shiyue's mind went blank for a moment, as if something had exploded inside.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already kissed her.

The soft touch and sweet fruity aroma made him instinctively grind and suck a few times. When he realized what was happening, he hurriedly retreated to a place far away from Zhou Liwan.

Frustrated, he scratched his head, cursing himself for being worse than an animal.

When Zhou Liwan opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Shiyue sitting dejectedly on the table by the window, as if he had suffered some kind of blow.

They look listless.

Zhou Liwan asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is the case not going well?"

Upon hearing the girl's voice, Jiang Shiyue froze, unable to look her in the eye: "No."

Zhou Liwan rubbed her eyes, stretched her stiff body from sleeping, and walked to Jiang Shiyue's side: "What's going on tonight? It's already seven o'clock."

Jiang Shiyue smelled that sweet fragrance again, and his ears turned slightly red: "Last time, the Wan family found some clues about the charity gala. It was my sister who colluded with the Wan family and those little girls from the Han family to do this."

Zhou Liwan nodded indifferently. This matter had nothing to do with her, and she didn't take it to heart at all: "So you wanted to tell me about this?"

Jiang Shiyue still didn't dare to look at the other person, directly avoiding their gaze: "The Wan family invited you to dinner, wanting to apologize in person, tonight."

Zhou Liwan was puzzled: "Shouldn't you be talking to Zhou Qingya? Why did you ask me? You don't mean you want me to pass on a message, do you?"

Jiang Shiyue said, "Everyone knows Zhou Qingya's true identity, so why would they invite a ridiculous illegitimate daughter? Besides, their invitation is just an excuse to get closer to you. After all, if they have a good relationship with you, they will have a better chance of cooperating with the Jiang family in the future."

Zhou Liwan nodded knowingly, staring at Jiang Shiyue suspiciously: "You've been avoiding me since just now, not even looking at me. What does that mean!"

Jiang Shiyue's face turned somewhat pale, and he stiffly uttered two words: "No, you're overthinking it."

Zhou Liwan felt increasingly uneasy, so she pulled Jiang Shiyue over and forced him to look at her: "Something's wrong with you, what exactly is wrong with you...?"

Zhou Liwan, who was about to question him, suddenly noticed the lip gloss on the man's lips, and her cheeks flushed red: "Jiang Shiyue, you!"

Zhou Liwan simply couldn't bring herself to say, "Did you steal a kiss from me?"

The two remained silent for a long time, their expressions complicated. One of them reached out and wiped the lip gloss off the other's lips: "Next time you do something bad, remember to clean up the mess, at least don't let anyone find out!"

After saying that, she turned around, picked up her bag from the sofa, and was about to leave when her fair, delicate hand was suddenly pulled into a strong embrace by a pair of large hands.

The man's calm, woody scent instantly enveloped her.

Zhou Liwan stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking up at Jiang Shiyue: "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Shiyue looked at Zhou Liwan, who was wary, her watery eyes like those of a forest path in the early morning.

A desire to tease her arose spontaneously within him. He slowly lowered his head and said in a lazy and nonchalant tone, "Since you've discovered it, there's no need for me to hide it anymore. We didn't get enough of a kiss just now, so why don't we continue?"
