Back in the county town, Lin Haitao was working hard to save up for a fake. He never imagined that he would meet Ye Zhi in such a short time, and it would be at the bureau. Looking at Ye Zhi, who had messy hair and a bruised face, he felt both heartbroken and angry. With a stern face and tightly pressed lips, he asked, "What happened?" To be honest, Ye Zhi also felt embarrassed about this way of meeting. How could she explain? She had childhood trauma, Aunt Flo had visited, her emotions were volatile, and she snapped easily.
"Well... the other party had a bad attitude, so I wasn't polite. As soon as she made a move, I lost my cool... then we got into a scuffle, and somehow the glass counter fell over... someone screamed... and then the police took me in!" Ye Zhi's voice grew quieter as she spoke.
Zhang Dou laughed inappropriately and teased, "Ye Zhi, if you're coming, just come! Why make such a big fuss?" Ye Zhi pouted, staring blankly at the table.
Lin Haitao stood up and opened the cabinet, pulling out Purple Medicine before sitting back down. "Look up!" Ye Zhi was lost in her own world and didn't hear him. His warm fingers gently lifted her chin. When she looked up, a cotton ball soaked with deep Purple Medicine appeared before her. The sudden sting made her grimace, and unfortunately, it tugged at the wound on her lip.
Ye Zhi cried out in pain, "Ouch! Xiaobinzi, can't you be gentler?" Zhang Dou turned away with a shrug; Xiaobinzi was definitely doing it on purpose. Ye Zhi's minor scratches didn't need any ointment; why apply Purple Medicine and make it look like a palette?
With an expressionless face, Lin Haitao said coldly, "Now that you know it hurts, no more fighting in the future!" Ye Zhi grumbled unhappily, "Hey! I got disfigured from being beaten up, and you don't say or do anything?"
Lin Haitao pressed the cotton ball firmly against Ye Zhi's lip. "It hurts!" Ye Zhi shouted angrily; this was too much—he showed no understanding of cherishing delicate things.
"Ye Zhi, it seems like the other party is hurt more seriously!" Zhang Dou adjusted his gaze to focus on the top of Ye Zhi's head and cleared his throat to remind her. Nonsense! The Red-Lipped Saleswoman was a head taller than her; if she hadn't been wearing Bite-Resistant Armor and kept her head down, she would have been beaten into a pulp and hospitalized. Meanwhile, the other party only got hit by her from Xiao Mi into big Mi Mi—essentially getting free cosmetic surgery from a beauty perspective. She was disfigured while the other person benefited; she was at a disadvantage. Who knows if her potential partner Xiaobinzi would be scared off because of this? That would mean losing out on a great romantic opportunity...
"Xiaobinzi, did you forget what you said when we left Zhoujiatun?" Ye Zhi widened her almond-shaped eyes and stared at Xiaobinzi. Lin Haitao's deep gaze revealed some helplessness; if he didn't care, he wouldn't be angry!
Zhang Dou sensed that the atmosphere between them was off and tried to mediate: "Xiaobinzi, both sides are at fault here. Brother Zhang has already handled it and calmed the other party down; Ye Zhi will pay half for the glass counter. Let's just leave it at that."
"Ye Zhi, don't be so impulsive next time!" Zhang Dou sincerely advised.
At that moment, Zhu Team appeared at the door: "Zhang Dou, come out!" Zhang Dou knew what was going on; he had specifically taken leave to let Xiao Lin go home for family visits. Why did this kid run to Zhoujiatun? Was he interested in someone there?
“Zhu Team, what's going on?”
“You brat, stop talking and come with me!”
After Zhang Dou left with Zhu Team, the Criminal Investigation Team's Investigation Room was left with only the sound of their breathing, staring at each other for a long time, as if waiting for the other to speak.
Lin Haitao broke the silence first, “You have to endure the pain!” He said while gently pressing a cotton ball against the cut on Yezhi's right temple. It seemed that Xiaobinzi wasn't scared off; one must say that Xiaobinzi had a strong heart. Actually, “Xiaobinzi, what do you like about me?”
Yezhi's candid words and bright eyes clearly surprised Lin Haitao. What did he like about her? Lin Haitao chuckled, “I like you for being so genuine!”
“Really!” Yezhi beamed; this was indeed her greatest strength.
“In the future, don’t be so impulsive. Fighting is trivial, but getting hurt is not good!” Yezhi nodded, realizing that this fight was not worth it.
“Why did you come to the city this time?”
“For you. You left a vague statement, and I had to figure it out—whether it meant what it said or if it was what I thought. Just now, you didn’t show any tenderness at all; I thought I misunderstood!” Yezhi spoke nonsense with her eyes wide open.
Lin Haitao raised an eyebrow. If he took Yezhi's words seriously, then those two years as a police officer would have been in vain. “You rushed here to confess your feelings to me!”
Yezhi shouted back, “Stop being so vain! I came to inquire about the oil sale!”
“Oil sale!” During his stay in Zhoujiatun, Lin Haitao had heard Zhou Village Head mention Rice Bran Oil several times.
“Yeah, I went to the Grain and Oil Company, but the old guard stopped me and didn’t let me ask anything!” It was also her fault for not being prepared; she didn’t bring a letter of introduction or any samples. Now, Rice Bran Oil had become a source of worry for her. “Xiaobinzi, are you done? I need to hurry back to the village!” Hearing that Yezhi was leaving, Lin Haitao fell unusually silent.
The atmosphere turned cold in an instant! Could it be... Yezhi grinned mischievously and said, "Xiaobinzi, you wouldn't miss me, would you?" In truth, he really did not want to part ways. He gazed seriously at the leaf-like face and remarked, "Your face will scare Aunt Zhou and the others when you go back. Take care of yourself first. Let's go home!"
Originally confident, Yezhi felt a hint of shyness upon hearing the words "go home." Lin Haitao pretended to be casual as he took Yezhi's hand. Seeing that she did not resist, he felt good and slowly walked in the direction of the Lin family.
"Master, you're back!"
Yezhi was lost in a silly smile while staring at Dulisa's beautiful legs, his mind filled with images of her and Xiaobinzi holding hands on their way home.
"Master~!"
"Xiao Fang, what's up?" Yezhi asked with a bright smile.
Could it be that the master was stunned by that salesperson? Xiao Fang looked around; it was indeed his master, but something seemed off. Just yesterday, the master had shouted, "My table, I decide!" when Miss Dulisa forcibly changed it. Today, however, he seemed unfazed and was smiling foolishly at the new table.
"Master, Xiao Fang has selected several new tables for you to choose from." Before Xiao Fang could finish speaking, Yezhi waved his hand and said, "Forget it; I'm used to looking at this one!" Used to it? The new table featured a dynamic promotional poster for Miss Dulisa's latest movie, showcasing her queenly demeanor as she proudly stepped on Mr. Xianruipu, who was kneeling on one knee. Pink flower petals danced around them, filling the air with a faint floral fragrance.
"Master, are you really not going to change it?" Yezhi nodded with a grin and said, "Well, with a beauty like that, it's nice for a handsome guy to look at!" Xiao Fang patted his head full of flower petals and replied, "Alright then! Master, Peter gave us an 80% discount. The day after tomorrow we start advertising, but we still haven't bought the New Year pictures or Spring couplets. What should we do?"
Yezhi pondered: The department store might have listed her as a dangerous person. Since she was currently in the spotlight, it would be better not to go there. If worse comes to worst, they just wouldn't sell anything.
Suddenly realizing something, Xiao Fang exclaimed in frustration: "Master, you can't go to the department store until your protective helmet arrives!" Yezhi chuckled as he brushed off the flower petals from his head. Xiao Fang really treated the department store like a den of tigers and wolves, as if once she entered, she would never come out intact.
