The crosswalk indicator light on the right front has turned red, and an elderly lady is standing in front of the guardrail dividing the left and right lanes. She seems a little hesitant, not knowing whether to stand there and wait for the light to turn green, or to continue walking forward.

After Lin Yue got off the car, he walked up to the old lady with white hair and said a few words. He took the white plastic bag containing the bowl cake with one hand, held the old lady's arm with the other, and walked forward slowly.

At the crosswalk, when he handed the white plastic bag over, the old lady took out a lunch box containing four pieces of bozi cake and stuffed it into his arms.

Lin Yue made some concessions, but seeing the grandmother's firm attitude, he could only salute and thank her, and accept the offer.

Mary laughed as she watched in the car, thinking that Inspector Lin was really familiar with the job of a uniformed patrol policeman.

When Lin Yue walked back from the crosswalk to his car parked in the middle of the road, a tall, round-headed man jumped out of the van behind him that had been honking its horn for a long time.

"police."

I didn't see him doing anything extreme. He just glanced at the cars behind him and revealed his identity. The crew-cut man returned to the car and sat down obediently, without honking the horn.

After Lin Yue got in the car, he put the lunch box containing the bowl cake into Mary's hand, said nothing, and continued driving.

She opened the lunch box, picked up a piece with a toothpick and put it in her mouth.

"Well, it's fragrant and smooth, and the coconut milk flavor is very strong. It turns out that the ladies are the ones who know the city's food best."

Lin Yue said with a smile: "When I was young, my father went to work in Kowloon City and occasionally brought my mother brown sugar bowl cake made by a grandmother. I still remember the taste when I ate it for the first time."

This is neither the truth nor a lie.

He does like to eat the brown sugar bowl cake made by Mrs. Liang of Kowloon City, but his father did not bring it to his mother. He bought it for Qing'er and Lin Xi.

Mary picked up another piece with a toothpick: "Would you like to eat a piece?"

Lin Yue shrugged: "How can I eat while driving? If the traffic police catch me, they will sue me for dangerous driving."

Mary pondered for a moment and handed the piece of cake to Lin Yue.

He put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully and swallowed it.

"Did you know that Bo Zai Gao also has a nickname, Dating Little Sweets."

Mary said: "Okay, take advantage of me, I thought you were so honest."

"You took advantage of me, okay, Sister Mary."

"Who wants to take advantage of you?"

Mary turned her head to look at the scenery along the way, with a faint smile on her lips. Putting aside work contacts, this was the first time she and Lin Yue had been close together, but there was no sense of embarrassment and distance like when they first interacted with opposite sexes.

, on the contrary, I feel reassured and relaxed about the person driving the car.

She didn't know why, but in short, his stability, occasional humor, charm in every gesture, and seriousness in doing things seemed to have a kind of magic that made people trust and rely on him unconsciously.

After a while, the car stopped at the foot of a white apartment building. Lin Yue took her out of the car and helped her into the elevator.

He went up to unlock the door and saw that there was no one in the corridor. He simply picked up Mary, opened the door with his shoulder and walked straight into the living room.

"There are several colleagues living in the building, what should I do if someone sees them?" Mary said angrily.

"I'm not afraid of Lao Xu, so why are you afraid of them?"

"..."

Mary didn't know what to say. After getting along with each other for this period of time, her affection for Lin Yue was increasing every moment. However, considering that there was a 3-year age difference between the two, she felt very unsure.

She was afraid that Lin Yue was just playing around.

She didn't want to play with him, because despite her rational resistance, she actually had a vague expectation for the relationship between the two of them.

As a 29-year-old woman, she knows exactly what this expectation means.

However, when she thought about breaking up with Lao Xu and about Azu who had just confessed to her two days ago, her mind was very confused.

When Mary was in a daze, Lin Yue put her on the sofa, squatted down and took off her shoes, and rolled up her trouser legs.

The ankle is red and swollen very high.

"Where's the refrigerator?"

"Kitchen." Mary pointed to the north.

Lin Yue opened the door and walked into the kitchen. He quickly came out with a plastic bag containing crushed ice cubes.

Tie the mouth of the plastic bag tightly with tape, tie it with a few tight knots, and finally place it on Mary's ankle.

"Hold it."

"oh."

"Here, let me look at the arm...the other one."

Mary stretched out her other arm and let him roll up his sleeve to inspect the area where the car door had been hit.

He pressed it twice with his fingers: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"That's okay." Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to her: "Don't go tonight, I will help you ask for leave from Huang SIR."

Mary said: "No, I'm fine."

"Are you okay..." He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, reached down with his hand, and pulled something out from under his butt.

Mary's face felt a little hot, she grabbed her underwear and hid it behind her back.

Only then did Lin Yue notice that her room was in a mess. On the single sofa next to her were T-shirts, shirts, stockings, and sweatpants that had not yet been washed. There were hair ribbons, documents, magazines, cosmetics, etc. piled on the coffee table.

Finished coffee...

Well, chaos is good, to be precise, it is a mess.

"I've been busy with work recently and the house is very messy. I haven't had time to clean it up." Mary said while avoiding his eyes.

Lin Yue didn't say anything, he held her hand and held the ice pack, got up and walked into the kitchen.

Mary breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the sound of hot oil frying came from the kitchen, and the rich aroma floated into the living room through the crack in the door.

The sound of the refrigerator closing.

The sound of the faucet being turned on.

The sound of roaring flames.

…

She looked at the kitchen door in a daze.

At this time, Lin Yue walked out, sorted the things on the coffee table, and walked back to the kitchen without saying a word, holding the coffee cup.

When he came out again, he had two bowls of noodles in his hands.

There is a soft-boiled poached egg in the middle, and next to it are two pieces of shiny lunch meat, covering the fresh soup and curly noodles.

The hot air brings the aroma of pork rib soup, like a group of elves dancing on your taste buds.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Lin Yue handed her a pair of chopsticks, picked up his bowl and ate without caring about his appearance.

Mary held her rice bowl in her hands, her heart pounding.

Azu asked her to go to his house yesterday and promised to make breakfast for her. After finishing work today, he went from upstairs to downstairs, but he didn't make breakfast for her. The person who made breakfast for her was changed to Inspector Lin.

Lin Yue ate for a while and suddenly found that she hadn't moved and was looking at him.

"Why don't you eat it? It doesn't taste good?"

"No, it's not." Mary quickly collected her emotions and took two bites of noodles into her mouth.

A bowl of egg noodles gave her mixed feelings, and her heart was filled with emotions.

After finishing the noodles, Lin Yue took the bowl into the kitchen and rinsed it. After that, he carried her to the bed in the bedroom, then went outside to make a glass of milk and put it on the bedside table.

"Go to bed after drinking the milk. If Lao Xu comes to bother you, remember to call me." Lin Yue patted her shoulder: "I'm leaving."

Mary watched him turn around, his back disappearing through the rapidly narrowing crack in the door.

"Lin Yue..."

"What's wrong?" He opened the door again.

"No, it's nothing." Mary said softly: "Be careful on the road."

"I will."

After saying this, he left without looking back.

Mary leaned against the backrest for a while, not knowing what to think. Her face became increasingly red, and her body slowly slid down. The usually capable senior inspector pulled the thin blanket over her head like a big girl.

Lin Yue left the apartment building, found a deserted place, picked up his phone, and checked the photos he took with the camera before going out.
