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

Xiang Yuntian was afraid that Bai Mengfei would find him boring, so he quickly changed the subject: "It's a bit chilly!"

This feeling made Bai Mengfei quite embarrassed, as if they were strangers on a blind date. Bai Mengfei couldn't help but secretly bite her soft lower lip, turned to look at him, and said, "Actually, I'm quite happy that you came to keep me company, there's really no need to force yourself to talk."

"Oh," Xiang Yuntian replied, feeling somewhat dejected because he thought he hadn't performed well, "I understand."

"What do you know?" Bai Mengfei suddenly felt that Xiang Yuntian was sometimes really stupid. He didn't understand what he should know, but he pondered things he shouldn't know, and just thought about all sorts of nonsense.

So she stood up and decided to take a walk around.

Xiang Yuntian silently accompanied her, walking quietly beside her without uttering a sound.

Bai Mengfei was quite satisfied with this, as it at least showed that he wasn't the kind of straight man who didn't understand girls' feelings.

The two strolled around the campus, and before they knew it, they had returned to their dormitory.

At this moment, Wang Yang, who had just been in the cafeteria, returned, his eyes fixed on the corridor, as if eagerly anticipating something.

Upon seeing Xiang Yuntian, she immediately ran over with a beaming smile, exclaiming with delight, "You're back! I thought you weren't coming back!"

"How could that be?" Xiang Yuntian smiled faintly. In fact, he was not happy at the moment because he had just been with Bai Mengfei but had not made her happy.

He responded and went straight to his bed. His bed was above Bai Mengfei's, so it was more like climbing up than walking.

After he went upstairs, Wang Yang noticed that he was in a bad mood, so he asked Bai Mengfei, "What's wrong with him?"

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but laugh when she thought about how Wang Yang had boldly given away eggs in the cafeteria. Now, hearing Wang Yang ask her this question, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

However, this time she didn't want to play pranks on anyone again, and said directly to Wang Yang, "I don't know either. If you want to know, go ask him yourself."

Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, Wang Yang knew he didn't have the courage to ask Xiang Yuntian, so he just said "Oh," pinched his earlobe, and didn't press the matter further.

Around 10 p.m., the three of them lay in bed, ready to go to sleep.

However, Bai Mengfei had always had trouble falling asleep, and she tossed and turned in bed. As she turned over, she noticed that Wang Yang on the opposite bed was also awake, staring at her with wide eyes. She asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wang Yang quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you should get some rest." After saying that, Bai Mengfei turned around again, this time facing the wall.

She knew in her heart that she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. If it were just her and Xiang Yuntian in the dorm right now, she would definitely go and chat with Xiang Yuntian.

However, Xiang Yuntian didn't make a sound on the upper bunk, so he seemed to be asleep.

Actually, that's not the case. Xiang Yuntian was resting his head on his arm, quietly staring at the ceiling, pondering matters related to the case.

It is obvious that Liu Yun's case is most likely unrelated to the previous serial murders.

Xiang Yuntian recalled what Bai Mengfei had said and felt that the murderer might have deliberately misled the police investigation.

Just as Xiang Yuntian was deep in thought, Zhao Fei suddenly sent a message: "Are you asleep? Are you home now? Why aren't you answering your phone?"

Xiang Yuntian didn't receive a call from Zhao Fei at all.

Just as he was about to tell Zhao Fei the situation, he realized that there was no signal here.

It was late at night, and in order not to wake others, he sent a message to Zhao Fei: "Captain Zhao, Bai Mengfei and I are investigating a case at Liu Yun's school, and we're staying here. You can talk to us here if you need anything."

Not long after, Zhao Fei replied: "Oh, I see. Then you guys continue the investigation. Actually, the reason I contacted you so late is because of this case. The higher-ups are urging me to keep up, but I have no clue whatsoever. I just think the murderer should be a man, in his twenties or thirties, especially probably between 20 and 30. That's why I sent you this message to keep an eye on this case."

“Yes, I will definitely keep an eye on it,” Xiang Yuntian typed in reply.

Then he thought of Zhang Shun's case again, though he was actually more concerned about that one. So he messaged Captain Xu again: "What about Zhang Shun's case?"

“I’ll follow up,” Zhao Fei replied.

Meanwhile, feeling bored, Bai Mengfei, clinging to a sliver of hope, texted Jiang Shuai on her phone: "Are you asleep?"

Jiang Shuai quickly replied to the text message: "Hehe, not yet. Where are you and Xiang Yuntian? You never come here unless you need something. So, what do you want this time?"

Bai Mengfei thought for a moment and then typed a reply truthfully: "I can't sleep. Xiang Yuntian and I are investigating another murder case."

Jiang Shuai immediately became interested and sent a message asking, "What case? It requires you and Xiang Yuntian to handle it personally. The victim's death must be very suspicious."

“It’s not too strange,” Bai Mengfei described to him truthfully, “but there are quite a few suspicious points in the case.”

……

And so, the two talked about the case all night long.

Meanwhile, Xiang Yuntian, who was lying on the upper bunk, spent the entire night writing a summary report on his phone.

They didn't sleep well again that night.

Xiang Yuntian didn't fall asleep until after 5 a.m., so when he got up at 9 a.m., he had big panda eyes.

When he woke up, Bai Mengfei was sleeping soundly because the daylight gave her a sense of security. Wang Yang, on the other hand, had already gone to class, as there was a social studies course taught by their principal in the morning.

Xiang Yuntian stood beside Bai Mengfei, watching her sleep so peacefully, and couldn't bear to disturb her.

Recalling the moments he had shared with Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian felt inexplicably sad and unconsciously moved his face closer.

He originally wanted to kiss Bai Mengfei's forehead, but after careful consideration, he refrained from doing so.

After all, this is no longer Bai Mengfei's original face. Unless Bai Mengfei opens her eyes and lets him see that familiar look again, he really can't convince himself to cherish her so affectionately.
