A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian walked slowly along Jiefang Road.

In the quiet atmosphere, Bai Mengfei keenly sensed that Xiang Yuntian's arm around her might be getting a little sore, and she herself felt increasingly embarrassed by this intimate gesture.

Her face flushed slightly, and she looked up and said softly, "Why don't you put me down? I want to walk around by myself."

Her voice was soft, like a gentle breeze brushing past your ear.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian smiled gently but remained silent. Instead, he instinctively tightened his grip on her arm, showing no intention of letting her go.

Bai Mengfei had no choice but to stop talking and just lean against the wall quietly.

And so, the two of them remained silent until they reached the car. Only then did Xiang Yuntian carefully and gently put Bai Mengfei down, his movements so tender as if he were afraid of disturbing her.

On the way back, Xiang Yuntian hesitated several times, his eyes revealing a hint of entanglement and hesitation, clearly indicating that he had something to say to Bai Mengfei.

However, whenever he caught a glimpse of Bai Mengfei's slightly strange expression, he couldn't help but worry that if he opened his mouth, not only would he fail to explain, but he would only make things worse and displease her.

With these concerns in mind, he could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Go home.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei's cheeks were already flushed with a faint blush. She was so shy that she didn't even have the courage to look Xiang Yuntian in the eye. She simply lowered her head slightly and walked quickly towards her room.

The figure behind her exuded a hint of shyness and panic.

Xiang Yuntian gazed silently in the direction she had left, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips, his eyes overflowing with deep love, like a deep, tender lake.

He chuckled to himself, a smile that held a sweetness and doting affection unique to him.

Seeing that everything was in order, he was about to go back to his room to rest when his cell phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket, breaking the silence.

He quickly took out his phone, only to see an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.

Another telemarketing call?

He frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still pressed the answer button.

"Hey."

Xiang Yuntian's voice was steady and deep, as if carrying a hint of vigilance and displeasure.

In recent years, telecommunications fraud has been increasing, and he is genuinely annoyed by the frequent calls from unknown numbers.

Soon, a strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a light and slightly mocking tone.

"Hey hey, handsome, do you remember me?"

"Hmm? You are..." Xiang Yuntian was full of suspicion, and his mind quickly began to think about who among the people he knew would joke with him like this.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, and his doubts grew stronger.

However, the other party suddenly fell silent. This unexpected silence made Xiang Yuntian even more curious, and he couldn't help but urge, "Tell me, who exactly are you?"

"Haha, that's hilarious." The other person's voice suddenly changed, returning to normal and becoming a magnetic, gentle male voice: "What, it's only been a few years, and you've already forgotten my name, Jiang Shuai?"

Upon hearing this name, Xiang Yuntian's face immediately showed a look of bewilderment, as if he were both laughing and crying.

How could he possibly forget the name Jiang Shuai?

That was a close friend he made while studying abroad.

He didn't have many friends; as the saying goes, "Those who aren't family don't belong together."

Jiang Shuai is also a handsome young man with high intelligence, but his major is completely different from his. Jiang Shuai is a hacker who roams freely in the online world and is ranked among the top hackers in the world.

Just as Xiang Yuntian was talking with his old friend, Bai Mengfei, wearing a light nightgown, gracefully walked out of the room.

In that instant, Xiang Yuntian's gaze was drawn to her as if by a magnet; to be precise, his entire mind was completely captivated by her.

So much so that while Jiang Shuai was talking non-stop on the other end of the phone, Xiang Yuntian didn't hear a single word; his mind was filled with Bai Mengfei's image.

Bai Mengfei keenly noticed Xiang Yuntian's intense gaze, turned her head slightly, and asked softly, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"

She secretly guessed that it might be Zhao Fei or someone else related to the case who called.

Xiang Yuntian then seemed to wake up from a dream, quickly covered the microphone with his hand, and hurriedly explained, "I'm talking to an old friend."

"Your friend?"

A sense of doubt arose in Bai Mengfei's heart. She thought back carefully and realized that since she had known Xiang Yuntian, she had never heard him mention any friends. She couldn't help but ask, "Who are they?"

"I met a male friend named Jiang Shuai when I was studying abroad!"

Xiang Yuntian deliberately emphasized the word "male," his eyes showing a hint of barely perceptible tension, as if afraid that Bai Mengfei might misunderstand.

Bai Mengfei simply gave a soft "oh" on the surface, but a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She was deeply moved by Xiang Yuntian's thoughtful, considerate, and understanding actions.

She knew that she didn't need to say anything; Xiang Yuntian could see through the jealousy and misunderstanding that might arise in her heart. This unspoken understanding between the two was like an invisible thread that tightly connected their hearts.

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian was only focused on communicating with Bai Mengfei and completely forgot about Jiang Shuai on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Shuai waited on the other end of the phone for a long time, but received no response. Helpless, he had to hang up and call back.

Xiang Yuntian then snapped out of his daze, quickly put the phone to his ear, and explained with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I was just talking to a friend. I'll come pick you up right away, please wait for me at the station!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for a response and turned to leave.

But he stopped abruptly after taking a step, his expression showing hesitation and worry. He was really worried about leaving Bai Mengfei, a girl, alone at home.

He turned his head, his eyes filled with concern and hesitation, and looked at Bai Mengfei.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Bai Mengfei blushed slightly at his worried gaze, subconsciously raised her hand to gently touch her face, and asked in confusion, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Xiang Yuntian quickly laughed heartily, trying to dispel the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"No, it's just... I'm about to go out for a bit. If it's convenient, how about we go together?"

Bai Mengfei secretly pondered that with her current childlike body, going out with Xiang Yuntian would not only fail to provide him with any help, but would most likely become a burden to him.

She really couldn't understand why Xiang Yuntian insisted on taking her with him every time he went out.

She couldn't help but think of other things, and a sense of unease rose in her heart. She asked, "You...you're not thinking of taking me to pick up your friend, are you?"

She was well aware of Xiang Yuntian's feelings for her; it was perfectly normal for a boyfriend to introduce his girlfriend to his friends.

However, her long-buried feelings of inferiority quietly surfaced at this moment.

Before I died, I always felt that I was too old, like an old cow eating young grass; now, I feel that I am too young.

She was filled with worry, fearing that others would misunderstand Xiang Yuntian as having unusual fetishes or being a pervert.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yuntian didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting, and said, "That's right! I'll introduce her to everyone I meet. She's my childhood sweetheart."

As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian's face was beaming with a bright smile.

It was as if this was an incredibly honorable thing, and not shameful at all.

Bai Mengfei really couldn't do anything about him. Although she still had some concerns, she finally nodded in agreement when she saw Xiang Yuntian's expectant eyes.

Afterwards, the two drove together to the station to pick up Jiang Shuai.

"It's been almost an hour now, are you sure your friend is still waiting here?"

Standing near the exit, Bai Mengfei looked around and asked with some concern, her eyes revealing a hint of unease.

Xiang Yuntian said with certainty, "No, although he used to act recklessly, he should be more mature now after all these years."

"I told him to wait for me, and he definitely won't leave!"

His eyes revealed his trust in his friend.

"That's good." Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, her worries lessening somewhat.

The two got out of the car and saw the back of a young man.

A man carrying a laptop bag and dressed in casual clothes stood quietly outside the station, as if he was waiting intently for something.

In his spare time, he would occasionally kick the pebbles on the ground with his sneakers. The action seemed casual, but it also revealed a hint of boredom.

Judging from his back, this person should be Jiang Shuai, since judging from his age, he is about the same age as Xiang Yuntian.

Bai Mengfei made this deduction, and Xiang Yuntian thought so too.

So he quickly stepped forward and tentatively called out, "Commander Jiang?"

Sure enough, the young man turned around.

"Who is it?"

"Hey? Yun Tian, ​​why are you bringing a child with you?"

Unexpectedly, the first thing Jiang Shuai said upon their reunion was this. His gaze towards Bai Mengfei seemed to reveal a hint of curiosity and interest, and his eyes lingered on her for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Bai Mengfei subconsciously stopped and ceased following Xiang Yuntian.

Now, she has an exceptionally strong sense of self-protection, and instinctively feels a sense of vigilance when faced with the gaze of strangers.
