Murder the Dream Guy

“…”

Xiang Wan snorted, “But I don’t want your life!”

“Aye!” Bai Muchuan had no choice but to sit beside her and patted her head as usual. “You really think too much…”

“Just answer me!” Xiang Wan’s insistence made it look as if she was throwing a mild tantrum.

That look of hers felt somewhat like Bai Muchuan at times.

“Hur!” Bai Muchuan laughed. “I thought Teacher Xiang should have known!”

“I don’t!”

“You really don’t?”

“Really!”

“If so… you want me to demonstrate it for you?”

“Okay, show me!” Xiang Wan refused to back down.

The next instant, Bai Muchuan directly removed his bathrobe!

“Ah! You’re so annoying!” Xiang Wan couldn’t stop laughing and hammered him with her tiny fists.

This guy really knew how to make her laugh and relax!

In just a few sentences, her earlier dissatisfied mood had disappeared.

Of course, Bai Muchuan would not really demonstrate anything before Xiang Wan. He smiled and put an arm around her waist, pulling her over to him.

“In the past, I’m so busy that I don’t have time to think about all this. When I grew up and knew what I want in life, I have been learning non-stop and worked so hard to improve myself…”

“Hmph!” Xiang Wan gave him a glance that spelled distrust.

“I was an outstanding student, an outstanding soldier, and an outstanding police cadet. I really don’t have the time and energy on such matters. You need to believe me,” Bai Muchuan said all this as a matter-of-factly, “there’s a limit to a man’s energy. If I did too much of such things, do you really think I have that kind of energy for learning and training?”

Wow, Xiang Wan felt so proud of him!

An outstanding student, an outstanding soldier and now, an outstanding detective!

Xiang Wan gave it some thought and realized that she liked this!

Hence, she asked, “With such a capability, you must be an outstanding baby that peed a lot, right?”

“…”

Bai Muchuan gave her a sidelong glance and smiled.

The two of them were really a perfect match for each other!

When they were together, they could let each other be in a good mood.

“Xiang Wan, you are a punster held by online novels!”

“Of course!” Xiang Wan leaned on his chest, smiling away. Her finger was making a circular motion on his muscles as she looked at him warmly. “Are you calm now?”

“…”

Bai Muchuan kept quiet for a moment. “You mean I’m not calm earlier on?”

“What do you think?”

“You don’t like it?”

“… Too merciless!”

“That’s what a man should be! Didn’t readers in the women’s genre like this type of male leads?”

“Tch!” Xiang Wan begged to differ. “Nowadays, hot young studs who are sweet, doting, and tender rule the women’s genre!”

“Hah! After Bai Muchuan indulged himself, his mood was noticeably different from what he was earlier at the doorstep. He lifted her chin and gave her a gentle, affectionate kiss. “Is this sweet and doting?” He asked in his husky voice.

Xiang Wan licked her lips; her gaze seemed a little lost. “Too deliberate!”

“How about this…?”

His lips were against hers as he kissed her slowly and lightly.

Little by little, that slowly infiltrated her lips as well as her heart.

Before Xiang Wan almost lost herself, she realized that he had a reaction. She was so flustered that she held his shoulder.

“You’re cheating!”

Bai Muchuan kissed her forehead. “What do you mean?”

“… That’s how you get around and past the subject!”

Bai Muchuan’s lips twitched, unable to say a word. “All right, I’ll let you off. Let’s go eat our dinner…”

When he wanted to get changed, he noticed that the woman behind him had a gaze so bright he felt prickly at the back. He quickly turned around, explaining with his brows creased together. “Nothing happened, it’s just that male corpse. There are no leads… and the case has been ongoing for so long. I suddenly feel frustrated!”

Xiang Wan narrowed her eyes to a squint as she observed him.

Bai Muchuan replied with a defeated smile, “You know about it; all those who work in this industry can be very gloomy and brooding.”

This was because they exposed themselves to the ugly side of humanity.

As well as the dark side of society.

Indeed, it was a heavy and depressing occupation.

Hence, the police needed more love and concern than ordinary folks…

When Xiang Wan thought so, she accepted his explanation. She drew closer to him and kissed him back. “All right, I believe you now.” She smiled.

“Good!” Bai Muchuan brushed her nose with a fingertip.

“So do you… want to smoke a cigarette?” Xiang Wan asked, tilting her head.

“Mm?” For an instant, Bai Muchuan did not get it.

“I heard that… men liked to smoke a cigarette after doing that?”

Cough! Bai Muchuan looked at her. Xiang Wan could see his long eyelashes before her when he blinked. Unexpectedly that stirred her emotions a little. “Woman, don’t you think you know a little too much?”

“I’m a female author! It’s hard to be pure and innocent in this line of work!”

Xiang Wan chuckled twice mischievously, then smiled at him meaningfully.

“Well, those hot, sizzling scenes I’ve read in a year are more than the amount of AVs you’ve watched in your life…”

“Oh!” Bai Muchuan did not laugh.

He looked at her seriously and suddenly squeezed her face.

“Next time, Teacher Xiang should teach me a few tricks or two! I’m looking forward to seeing your performance!”

“…”

“It’s settled then. Get up, we’ll be getting dinner!”

“…”

This was a typical example of shooting oneself in the foot!

Xiang Wan wished she should have bitten her tongue…

Aye! One must not boast recklessly!

…

Originally, Bai Muchuan had wanted to eat with Xiang Wan. However, as Xiang Wan had made plans with Fang Yuanyuan, he could only drive her to the hospital.

It was now difficult for the two to get together. He could understand Xiang Wan’s feelings.

Hence, their world was suddenly bright with numerous “lightbulbs”!

While on the way to the hospital, they bought food for them, not leaving out Tang Yuanchu as well as Salimu.

Both of them carried the bags of food and went up directly to Huang He’s ward.

Fang Yuanyuan adjusted the coffee table, while the rest moved the chairs and placed around it. With the sofa on one side of the coffee table, the few of them could sit around together.

Out of these few who got injured, Huang He was the one who had suffered the most. He did not come over but sat on his bed instead, leaning against his pillow. Fang Yuanyun was the one who passed him the bowl of food.

Xiang Wan was actually astonished to see that.

Although Fang Yuanyuan was not the daughter of a rich family, she was the only child at home. Her parents did not let her do any housework since they doted on her so much that even though she was an adult and had a job, eldest aunt still washed clothes for her…

However, over here, for Huang He’s sake, she would do everything by herself.

That also included the first two days when Huang He just got sent to the Xi City hospital when he had to be on a catheter and she helped to clear the urine daily…

It just shows how great the power of love is! she thought.

Regarding the news of the male corpse. it was already all over the place. As the few of them ate their dinner, they also talked about the topic.

A mask, a tattoo, nobody came forward to collect the body… when one pulled out these crucial terms, it could easily form a very special kind of mysterious atmosphere…

Fang Yuanyuan was very curious about the news. “Captain Bai, if the police could not get any leads about the identity of the corpse, what will happen?”

Bai Muchuan looked up but before he could answer, Huang He replied for him.

“It’ll become a cold case!”

“Ah?” Fang Yuanyuan’s eyes were wide-opened. “So, it’ll just be left aside?”

“Otherwise? Do you think the police can keep on allocating manpower to investigate just one case like this?”

Urgh, he’s right!

There was a limit to manpower. This was what she had felt after getting to know Huang He.

“So are there a lot of cold cases you know of?”

Huang He remained silent for a while and puffed a casual sigh.

“If you think it’s a lot, then it is. If you think it’s not, then it’s not!”

Fang Yuanyuan was not pleased with his answer. “So is it a lot or not at all?”

“That depends on your understanding!” Huang He lowered his head and ate his food. “There are always cases that can’t be solved.”

“… Fine then! Your answer is so vague.” As Fang Yuanyuan said so, she laughed. “Well, most people are interested in unsolved cases…”

“It’s normal since people are curious about things they do not know.”

“Do you think it will be disheartening for Serious Crime Division One to take on unsolved cases?”

“… I don’t think so!”

“Is there a percentage that detectives must hit regarding solving cases?” Fang Yuanyuan was totally the most inquisitive one of them all. “Just like our platform, do you have missions to achieve?”

“…”

Huang He could not answer that.

“That,” he smiled, “you have to ask Captain Bai!”

“Captain Bai…” Fang Yuanyuan shifted her line of sight to Bai Muchuan and wanted to talk to him when his mobile phone rang.

He glanced at everyone then picked up the call. “Hello, it’s me.”

It was Cheng Zheng.

There was never an unnecessary word between the two of them.

“I need you to come to the Forensics Department right away!”
