Zhang Feng and Qin Huan, who had just sat down in a small street-side restaurant, had no idea what was happening far away in Harbor City.
Zhang Feng was still a bit distracted, thinking about the ghost fire youth.
He was convinced that what he had fleetingly seen in that person's eyes was definitely not a figment of his imagination.
But what was that thing....
Why did he feel this way?
Zhang Feng truly couldn't figure it out.
"Zhang Feng? Zhang Feng?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Qin Huan seemed to have been talking for a while without getting a response, only to find Zhang Feng in a distracted state.
Hearing Qin Huan's prompt, Zhang Feng snapped back to reality, awkwardly waving his hand and saying:
"Oh, nothing... just something about the case..."
"What did you just say?"
Seeing Zhang Feng like this, Qin Huan couldn't help but chuckle a bit.
Shaking her head with a smile, she said:
"Wu Di said I was a workaholic, but it seems our Forensic Doctor Zhang is the real one."
That comment made Zhang Feng even more embarrassed.
Am I a workaholic?
What I do doesn't really seem to be for work....
Of course, there's no need to explain.
Qin Huan continued:
"I just said, why don't we have a drink?"
"Huh?"
Zhang Feng seemed to have an automatic reaction to the words "drink alcohol"!
Because, no matter before or after his time travel, he had only drunk twice.
Every time he drank, it caused irreparable trouble for himself!
Especially the first time, he drank so much that to this day, he still doesn't know who he got in trouble with.
Now, is another pretty little lady asking him to drink?
"Uh...."
His voice was a bit stiff as he said:
"Why don't we... just forget it, after all, we're going on a business trip tomorrow..."
But Qin Huan seemed to have been merely going through the motions when asking for Zhang Feng's opinion, waving her hand and saying:
"Don't worry, it won't delay the trip! I just wanted to see if you'd drink. Seeing as you seem okay, let's have a little drink!"
"Hey..."
Zhang Feng wanted to stop her.
But Qin Huan had already ordered the liquor.
Zhang Feng couldn't even stop her!
He was almost resigned.
Before time traveling, he hadn't drunk before, but he had heard about it.
It should be men who generally like to drink more.
But ever since he traveled here, all the drinkers have been women?
Who can handle this?
However, fortunately, none of the women he's met so far have caused a scene after drinking.
At most, they've just snuck into his room at night, nothing more.
Emm....
Even the night raids are unbearable!
Today, he definitely can't let this kind of thing happen again.
So, with Qin Huan drinking, he needed to advise her.
Advise her to drink less, not more.
But as time passed, Zhang Feng discovered a problem.
This woman's alcohol tolerance is a bit too high!
Between the two of them, a whole bottle of baijiu had been drunk!
Qin Huan only had a light blush, her eyes still bright and clear.
At most, she was just a little tipsy.
This only added to her appeal.
As for himself... of course, he didn't feel any tipsy as he had dissolved it all with his cultivation.
This was the result of being cautious after the first successful night intrusion, still not knowing who the culprit was.
After that incident, Zhang Feng decided he'd never allow himself to get drunk again.
To avoid not knowing what might happen again.
But this Qin Huan is truly something!
Isn't she ordering another round?
Zhang Feng initially wanted to stop her.
But he noticed that Qin Huan's bright eyes were misty.
She seemed overwhelmed by emotions triggered by memories.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng also put aside the idea of stopping her.
And Qin Huan seemed to, fueled by her drink, open up to Zhang Feng.
Firstly, she expressed gratitude to Zhang Feng.
Gratitude for two cases, the first being the muscle Barbie, the second the matter involving her online boyfriend.
Furthermore, Qin Huan admitted that her feelings for her online boyfriend hadn't fully developed.
She was waiting for Xu Yizhong to return, for them to meet face to face before developing feelings.
Only to find out, Xu Yizhong was assassinated before they met.
Qin Huan switched to criminal investigation because of the Xu Yizhong case.
But it wasn't because she had deep feelings for Xu Yizhong and wanted revenge.
The main reason was the bottled-up anger within her!
She'd been single for over twenty years, and when she finally got an online boyfriend, he was killed before she could meet him?
Was she destined to be alone?
She wanted to see who dared kill her online boyfriend!
She bottled it in for seven years!
Thanks to Zhang Feng, that bottled-up anger was finally released.
At that moment of release, she felt like she lost all her goals.
She even considered resigning from the Rain City substation on the spot.
Returning to her hometown, finding a mundane, stable job, and living day by day.
But before resigning, Wu Di, the Rain City substation chief, and her colleagues and subordinates all tried to convince her.
Telling her that resigning would waste her criminal investigation skills too much.
Qin Huan knew this was true.
But she had no life goals anymore!
No motivation to continue in this line of work.....
Until she thought of Zhang Feng!
This man helped her "take revenge" and resolve her inner grievances!
A thought appeared in Qin Huan's mind.
And it was: "Why not make a difference by Zhang Feng's side?"
So, she came to B City!
All of this was what Qin Huan said after drinking.
It should be true, right?
Zhang Feng certainly had no doubts.
He merely asked curiously:
"Why make a difference specifically by my side?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Huan stared straight at Zhang Feng.
With a slightly dreamy look, as if laden with a strange meaning.
She gently rolled her eyes and said:
"Guess!"
Seriously, you're that drunk and still play this game?
Zhang Feng pursed his lips, looking at Qin Huan, talking as she drank.
No matter how good your alcohol tolerance, you can't handle it all!
Especially since the second bottle of baijiu, he only took one sip, the rest went into Qin Huan's belly.
Seeing Qin Huan swaying a bit.
Zhang Feng finally said:
"It's late, Officer Qin, stop drinking, take care of your health!"
Indeed, take care of yourself!
Aren't you here to make a difference?
If you drink and harm your body, how will you make a difference by Forensic Doctor Zhang's side?
Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, Qin Huan also glanced at the clock on the little restaurant's wall, nodding, and said:
"Indeed.....already this late... Forensic Doctor Lin's still waiting for you at home....."
"Waiter, the check!"
With a delicate shout, "thud!" and Qin Huan directly slumped onto the table, out cold.
Zhang Feng's eyes widened instantly:
"Damn! This woman! Quite the schemer?!"
