Hearing what the shop assistant said, Caesar couldn't help feeling a little depressed, and Ling, who was standing beside him, came forward to comfort him.
"It's okay, Caesar. If that doesn't work, you can just ask your friend to watch it on his phone."
"There's nothing else I can do. Thank you, Ling."
But actually I came here just for paper comic books, so I took the opportunity to purchase supplies.
Caesar thought so in his heart, and Zhe beside her felt a little bit sorry for her appearance, so he finally took out a special edition comic book.
"If you don't mind, Caesar, you can give this to your friend."
"Eh? This is..."
Caesar subconsciously took the comic book that Zhe handed to her, and Ling, who was standing next to her, also came over to read it together.
The comic book was beautifully packaged, and the author's pen name was written in black pen on the lower left corner of the cover.
The shop assistant next to her was a comic book seller, and she immediately recognized that this book was special.
"Ah, could this be the legendary special edition signed by the author? They say there are only 10 copies in each series!"
"Special edition? I think I've heard of it, but how did you get this, brother?"
Ling looked at Zhe beside her with some confusion. How come she had never known about this? And where did her brother take out the book from just now?
"Ah, I won this in a lottery when I bought something before."
Zhe lied without batting an eyelid. In fact, the so-called autograph was just a gimmick. He himself had no time to sign anything.
As for this, it was just someone who signed the book for the company that released it. He also had one copy of each series of this so-called special edition. (Although they were all lost due to the Hollow Crisis.)
He had wanted to collect it before, so he mentioned it to the publishing company. Unexpectedly, the other party still remembered it and sent him the latest copy.
It was just that after receiving it, he suddenly had something to do and didn't have time to put it back home, so he temporarily put it in the system space. There was no use for him to keep it anyway, so he just gave it to Caesar.
"Thank you, Zhe, but I can't accept such an expensive gift."
Caesar said as he handed the comic book back. The packaging was still unopened and looked new.
And it would be better to leave it to Ling than to give it to her, after all, she also likes this comic very much.
"It's okay. After all, my brother doesn't like these either, so it's okay for Miss Caesar to accept them."
At this time, Ling also persuaded Caesar to accept the comic book. Seeing this, the latter wanted to continue to refuse, but under the kindness of the brother and sister, he finally accepted it.
Chapter 90 Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi
"Well, thank you."
Caesar looked at the brother and sister in front of him and was deeply moved. Then he seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to speak.
"Well, I want to tell you the truth. I'm sorry for lying to you before. Actually, this comic book was not bought by my friend. I just wanted to read it myself."
Caesar said this with some shame, expecting to be looked at strangely by others, but Zhe and Ling didn't seem to care.
"That's normal. After all, it's normal for a girl of Caesar's age to like reading shojo comics. There's no need to be embarrassed. Doesn't my sister like to read them too?"
"Eh? Yes, is that so?"
Caesar was slightly stunned after hearing Zhe's words, and finally thought of it.
Yes, in front of Zhe and the others, her identity was not the leader of the Sons of Calydon, but an ordinary girl from the Outer Ring.
Caesar was very happy when he thought of this. Finally, he excitedly bowed to Zhe to express his gratitude. His bottomless career line was once again displayed in front of him.
Hmm, is Caesar not wearing any underwear like this?
Zhe did not continue to pay attention to this matter, but explained to Caesar that they had to go to the Public Security Bureau to do some things next.
The latter had to go back early after purchasing things, so they had to part at this time. Before leaving, Caesar exchanged contact information with Zhe.
He said that if there is a chance in the future, he will let Zhe go to the outer ring to play and he will definitely treat him well.
"Wow, I just checked, that limited edition comic book is so expensive!"
Ling was also shocked when she saw the second-hand price on the phone, and Zhe smiled when he saw her like this, and then said deliberately.
"Yes, but it has been sent out, and it is unlikely to come back."
"Hmph, brother, what are you talking about? I don't mean to come back, but you, I didn't have the nerve to say it when Caesar was here just now.
I was away for just a short while, and you already found another beautiful girl. I really can't let my guard down against you, brother."
Zhe felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Ling said, but it really couldn't be blamed on him. After all, meeting Caesar was completely an accident.
It was as if there was some special magic that attracted beautiful girls to him. Never mind, Ling wouldn't believe it no matter what I said.
So Zhe compensated Ling by eating out tonight and letting her decide what to eat. The latter was very happy to hear this.
"Great! Let me see if there's anything good to eat nearby."
Then I immediately picked up my phone to search for nearby restaurants, but when I opened it, it kept showing "loading".
"Huh? Is it because the signal in the alley is bad?"
Ling said this while holding her phone high in both hands and walking towards the sidewalk outside. At this time, Zhe frowned slightly.
He heard something approaching quickly, the throbbing of an engine, and the scraping of car tires against the pavement.
Wait, sidewalk?!
"Ling, be careful!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhe immediately rushed forward and tried to grab Ling, while the latter was still a little confused.
"Huh? What...ah!"
When Ling saw the out-of-control car speeding towards her from a distance, she was immediately startled, but she could not dodge it by herself at this distance.
"Beware!"
Just as Zhe rushed forward and grabbed one of Ling's arms to pull her back, a clear female voice sounded from the other side, accompanied by a figure approaching quickly.
Zhe reached out to pull Ling back, while the other person pounced on her, and the two approached Ling almost at the same time.
This led to Zhe's actions causing both of them to fall into his arms, and then a loud bang was heard.
He noticed out of the corner of his eye that it was a blue-haired girl with twintails who was using a long stick-like weapon to force the out-of-control car to stop.
"I'm so sorry, are you guys okay?"
The sheriff who had knocked them down quickly stood up and reached out to help them up.
"Uh, I'm fine, thank you very much Miss Sheriff."
Looking at the sheriff in front of her with a black ponytail and some red highlights, Ling expressed her gratitude for the other party who had just saved her.
The latter shook his head upon seeing this, then looked at Zhe beside him.
"You're welcome. My name is Zhu Yuan, and I'm a peace officer. In fact, even if I hadn't taken action, you would be fine."
What Zhu Yuan was referring to was naturally Zhe's action just now. That agility was obviously not what a normal person should have, but this alone did not mean anything.
"Zhu Yuan, I've arrested the man. How's things on your side? Is anyone injured?"
"Ah, report to Senior Qingyi, no one was injured."
The person Zhu Yuan called "Senior Qingyi" was the girl with twin ponytails who had just stopped the car.
"Yeah, that's good."
Qingyi nodded after hearing this, and then the two sides introduced themselves to each other. Zhe and Ling decided to go back with them.
On the one hand, I had to apply for a driver's license, and on the other hand, I happened to be taking notes on what had just happened.
However, during the recording process, Qingyi discovered that Zhu Yuan seemed to be too interested in Zhe's news, and even some of the questions he asked were beyond the scope.
So after finishing the record, she approached Zhu Yuan with a gossipy look on her face.
"What's wrong? Our officer Zhu Yuan seems to be very interested in the young man named Zhe.
That's right, after all, she's at marriageable age, so it's normal for her to want a boyfriend. Besides, that young man named Zhe seems excellent in every way, and he's a good match for our Zhu Yuan."
Qingyi said this and nodded with a look of certainty, but Zhu Yuan couldn't remain calm at all after hearing this.
"Senior Qingyi, what nonsense are you talking about! I don't have any such thoughts! I just..."
"Just what? You want to understand the other person's preferences first, so that you can promote the relationship, right?"
"That's not the case!"
Out of desperation, Zhu Yuan explained his original thoughts to Qingyi, and tried his best to affirm that he just wanted to confirm this point.
"Okay, okay, then I was wrong about you. What a pity! I thought someone finally caught your attention, Zhu Yuan. After all, it's not good to always focus on work. So... Hey, what are you doing? Don't go!"
"Senior, Zhe and Ling should have finished their business. I'll go see them off."
Zhu Yuan really couldn't stand Qingyi's nagging about this, so he made an excuse to leave, and the latter had no choice but to follow him.
Chapter 91 Snacks
"Zhe and Ling, thank you very much for your cooperation. It must have taken quite a while to take the statement at the bureau."
At the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Zhu Yuan was talking to the brother and sister in front of her, and Qingyi was standing beside her, but when she mentioned this, Zhe also thought of it.
"By the way, how is the driver who caused the accident now?"
After all, the opponent almost hit the bell, so Zhe was naturally very concerned.
"Thank you for your concern. The driver only had a minor bump, but he was so frightened that he can't remember anything before the accident.
But don't worry, as the old saying goes, 'When an enemy comes, we fight him with our troops; when a flood comes, we block it with earth.' The Public Security Bureau will always find a way to uncover the truth."
With Qingyi's promise, the two felt a little relieved, and Zhu Yuan also spoke at this time.
"It's getting late, you two. Please go home today. If you remember anything about the accident, please feel free to contact us."
"Well, Zhu Yuan, Qing Yi, thank you again."
"You two, if you ever pass by Liufen Street, my sister and I would love to have you visit our video store."
After hearing what Zhe said, Qingyi was also a little surprised, and then couldn't help but sigh that it was fate.
"So you live on Liufen Street. Looks like we'll be able to meet again soon."
"Well, what do you mean?"
After hearing Zhe's puzzled voice, Zhu Yuan came to Qingyi and reminded him in a low voice.
"Senior, wait a minute. Your vague statement might cause the citizens to misunderstand and think that you are in trouble."
"Um, excuse me, regarding what Senior just said, could you please take a look at this?"
Zhu Yuan took out a poster as she spoke, and after her explanation, the brother and sister understood.
It turned out that Qingyi and Zhu Yuan received orders from their superiors and were temporarily dispatched to the Guangying Branch to prepare for the activities of the Public Security Patrol Promotion Month.
"We will be holding a large-scale safety knowledge lecture for the public here soon. In order to get more people to participate in the lecture, my seniors and I will visit nearby neighborhoods and distribute questionnaires to everyone."
"I see. Welcome."
Ling was very enthusiastic when she said this, and Zhu Yuan nodded when she saw this, then handed over the questionnaire in her hand.
"Thank you. Please keep this questionnaire for now. If you're interested in participating, you can fill it out and give it to us when we get to Liufen Street."
"Well, two store managers, see you later."
After saying these words, Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi returned to the Public Security Bureau building, while Zhe and Ling prepared to go back.
"The sheriff will be visiting Liufen Street in a few days. We've lived in Liufen Street for so long, but this seems to be the first time we've encountered something like this, don't you think, brother?"
On the way home, Ling looked at Zhe who was still thinking about something beside her. The latter also reacted after hearing this.
"But compared to this, Ling, I have another important matter to discuss with you. It's about those two sheriffs."
"Well, actually, I was just thinking of discussing this with you, but this isn't the place to talk."
"Ling, in that case, let's go home first. Oh, by the way, so many things happened today, and it's getting late, so why not write down the dinner plan and wait for next time."
"Hey, brother, do you still remember this?"
Ling herself had already forgotten about this matter, but she didn't expect Zhe to still remember it.
"Of course. After all, this was Ling's request."
