Chapter 293 Worry

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Xiang Yuntian quickly turned around to look.

When he saw that it was Bai Mengfei who walked in, a smile instantly welled up in his eyes; it was a joy that came from the bottom of his heart.

"Are you here to help?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

"Huh?" Bai Mengfei finally came to her senses, turned her head and looked around, realizing that she was in the morgue. "I guess so! Sigh, how did I end up here?"

She spoke those last words so softly, almost as if she were murmuring to herself.

Seeing that she seemed a little dazed, Xiang Yuntian quickly put down his work, took off his gloves as he walked over, and asked, "What's wrong? You seem a little distracted."

"Really? I don't think so!" Bai Mengfei didn't want Xiang Yuntian to worry about her, so she covered it up. "How's the case you're in charge of? Any progress?"

Xiang Yuntian immediately sighed and shook his head, saying, "Not yet! You've already investigated so thoroughly, I really don't know how to continue. Sigh, I feel it's unlikely we'll get any results even if we investigate further."

"Don't give up!" Bai Mengfei looked up at him and said seriously.

He nodded, looking like he understood but not quite, and then suggested, "How about we go get a cup of coffee first? I read in a psychology book that when the brain is extremely active, it's actually better to relax a little than to be constantly under high tension. What do you think?"

Bai Mengfei was already relaxing when she heard Xiang Yuntian's words, so she smiled and nodded, understandingly asking, "So you're planning to invite me for coffee?"

"Yes, I want to ask you out!" It's unclear where Xiang Yuntian got the courage to be so bold this time.

Seeing how brave he was, Bai Mengfei nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Okay, I agree. Shall we skip work now and go get some coffee?"

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, then hurriedly ran to change his clothes, moving as fast as a 100-meter sprint.

After changing his clothes, he immediately went to Bai Mengfei and kept looking down at his outfit, wondering if he was a good match for her.

The reason he was so nervous was entirely because he cared.

"Alright, shall we go?" Xiang Yuntian chuckled to himself. His smile was like that of an innocent child, and even Bai Mengfei found him incredibly adorable.

Bai Mengfei nodded slightly and readily agreed, "Okay, let's go!"

The two then left the police station together.

Just as they were about to leave, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei saw Old Chen again. Come to think of it, Old Chen's recent behavior had indeed been rather strange!

He stood alone beside the flowerbed, doing something mysterious, looking rather strange.

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian glanced at each other. Xiang Yuntian didn't pay much attention, but Bai Mengfei glanced at them a few more times.

"Shall we go?" Xiang Yuntian suggested.

Hearing this reminder, Bai Mengfei left with him.

After they left, Old Chen immediately turned around and looked back, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes. His gaze was extremely restrained, yet incredibly sharp.

In fact, he had noticed Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian long ago!

After walking with Xiang Yuntian for a while, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but think of Old Chen's strange behavior again. She felt that this was definitely not a coincidence!

Seeing Bai Mengfei deep in thought as she walked, Xiang Yuntian smiled and asked, "Why have you been looking so absent-minded lately? Have you been thinking about something? Can you tell me about it?"

Xiang Yuntian felt that this place was unlikely to be monitored.

Bai Mengfei glanced back at him, then shook her head. This puzzled Xiang Yuntian greatly, instantly piquing his curiosity as a young man.

So when they arrived at the coffee shop, he kept looking at Bai Mengfei, using various gestures, expressions, eyes, and even verbal pleas, hoping that Bai Mengfei would tell him her secret.

"Alright, stop asking me. Let's talk about how the coffee is here," Bai Mengfei asked with a smile.

After taking a sip of coffee, Xiang Yuntian said, "There's nothing to talk about. It's just coffee grounds mixed with water. Zhang Ting, why don't you tell me what's on your mind? Although I don't know what you're thinking, don't forget, I know psychology. I can tell you're troubled!"

"I'm fine, don't ask." Bai Mengfei didn't mean to keep quiet about Xiang Yuntian's situation, but she had her own principles and didn't want to speculate or spread rumors without solid evidence.

Xiang Yuntian understood Bai Mengfei's personality, sighed helplessly, and turned to look out the glass window.

People came and went outside the window, and cars and horses were everywhere, but Xiang Yuntian's worries did not disappear.

After finishing his coffee, Xiang Yuntian knew that Bai Mengfei was a person who kept her mouth shut and acted decisively, so he stopped asking questions and simply walked silently beside her.

The two walked along the shady path, and although they did not exchange words, their companionship spoke louder than a thousand words.

The two maintained this interaction throughout the day, simply because Bai Mengfei had something on her mind.

In the evening, Xiang Yuntian planned to take Bai Mengfei home, but Bai Mengfei refused: "You go back first, I still have some work to take care of, I'll go back after I'm done."

"Huh?" Xiang Yuntian was so concerned about Bai Mengfei that he suddenly thought of many things. He even felt that what was on Bai Mengfei's mind was related to him. "Is there something I did wrong?"

Bai Mengfei knew that Xiang Yuntian would overthink this matter, so she gently shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with you. I just have some work to take care of. You can go back first. I'll take a taxi home later."

"But I'm really worried about you!" Xiang Yuntian said with genuine concern.

Bai Mengfei immediately stood up, gently nudged him, and said, "Alright, don't worry about me so much. I'm not a child anymore, you know that."

Xiang Yuntian didn't think so. In his heart, no matter how old Bai Mengfei was or how mature she was, she was always that little girl who needed his tenderness and care.

That is why his possessiveness and protectiveness towards Bai Mengfei remained so strong.

"Sigh, I'm the forensic doctor you trained, aren't I?" Xiang Yuntian tried to find a reason to stay by her side. "Maybe I can help you?"
