"I didn't expect you to come down and take on this role. It must be because Wang Lei is studying under Xing Zhen; chatting with him is never unpleasant," she said.
"Yes, it's just a matter of chance," he replied lightly, a smile playing on his lips.
"Well, it seems we were destined to meet again," Wang Lei remarked casually.
When he inquired about Li Hao, Wang Lei thought that chapter was closed, yet he still harbored some lingering feelings for Lin Xiao. Over time, he came to realize that he had been holding onto those feelings for too long, and now he had finally let go.
After all, life is too short to hang oneself on a single tree; still, he couldn't help but care a little more than necessary.
He had heard that she often brought her child along to keep her company. Just thinking about it made him feel inadequate; being a police officer kept him far too busy.
Lin Xiao chuckled and changed the subject. "Let it go; if it wasn't for someone deliberately causing trouble, perhaps we could handle it more lightly. Ordinary people work hard for their money; anyone would be upset in such a situation."
Wang Lei set down his chopsticks and looked at Lin Xiao, who was eating. Her shirt collar was slightly open, but nothing inappropriate was revealed—only a scar that extended from her neck downwards.
"Are you hurt?" Wang Lei asked, surprise mingling with concern.
Lin Xiao quickly straightened up at his gaze. "It's nothing; just a surface injury."
Wang Lei called out to a passing officer to fetch a doctor.
"It's really fine," Lin Xiao insisted as she stood up to leave.
Wang Lei grabbed her arm. "You won't leave without seeing a doctor."
Though he couldn't see the injury clearly, his professional knowledge allowed him to deduce that something metallic had grazed her neck, implying that the worst of the injury was likely on her chest, concealed by her clothing.
Lin Xiao hadn't expected Wang Lei to pull her back in front of everyone; instinctively, she tried to shake off his grip, but he released her on his own.
"I'm sorry; I acted out of concern. Please see a doctor before you go," Wang Lei said quickly, aware of Lin Xiao's defensiveness and eager to apologize.
