Chapter 187 Confused
Chapter 187 Confused
"Yes, what are you all busy with?"
Bai Mengfei asked casually.
Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly, then turned to Bai Mengfei and said, "Yeah, I've been pretty busy. Weren't you transferred to compile reports? What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to examine the physical evidence."
As she spoke, Bai Mengfei put on the white gloves that had been prepared beforehand.
After putting on gloves, she walked over with feigned seriousness and actually took out some physical evidence to begin examining it.
But in reality, her mind was always on Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian.
In truth, she harbored deep feelings for Xiang Yuntian. Although she had consistently rejected him, some of her concern for him was involuntary.
Wang Tian was completely oblivious and didn't notice anything. She walked up to Bai Mengfei and said, "I've done what I promised you."
Bai Mengfei had almost forgotten what Wang Tian had promised her, so she turned her head curiously, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Wang Tian raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised, then lowered her voice and said, "It means I agreed to help you thoroughly investigate this case. I've already spoken to Captain Zhao, and he's made all the arrangements for me."
Wang Tian said this with a smug look on his face.
Bai Mengfei nodded gently, said "Oh," and looked as if she had just realized something: "Oh, that's what it is. It's good that it's taken care of."
Bai Mengfei's tone was slightly cold when she spoke.
In her heart, she also felt that it was quite normal for Zhao Fei to agree to this.
From Zhao Fei's perspective, Wang Tian was a complete newcomer, easier to manage, and at least wouldn't go against Xiang Yuntian and knew how to compromise.
Seeing Bai Mengfei's cold attitude, Wang Tian's previous enthusiasm immediately diminished.
She turned to look at Xiang Yuntian, only to see that he was also busy with his own things.
For a moment, she felt somewhat superfluous. So, she lowered her head dejectedly, turned around, and left.
After Wang Tian left, Xiang Yuntian turned to Bai Mengfei and asked, "Were you alright last night?"
Bai Mengfei paused upon hearing this, thinking that completely ignoring Xiang Yuntian seemed a bit too much. So she turned to look at Xiang Yuntian and said, "Last night was fine, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Xiang Yuntian had a thousand words in his heart, but when he thought about Bai Mengfei's recent attitude towards him, he hesitated.
So he swallowed those words back, and just smiled slightly, saying, "It's good that you're alright."
Hearing Xiang Yuntian's answer, Bai Mengfei felt inexplicably disappointed.
She had expected Xiang Yuntian to ask many more questions, but he only said this one sentence and ended the conversation.
In fact, she was very slow in examining the physical evidence, but with her experience, she completed the examination in no time.
After the inspection, she could only turn around and leave.
After all, she had no reason to stay here any longer.
Seeing her turn to leave, Xiang Yuntian turned back anxiously and asked, "Are you free at noon after get off work today? If so, I'd like to invite you to lunch. For the sake of our past relationship, please give me a chance, okay?"
"Alright then," Bai Mengfei reluctantly agreed.
After getting off work at noon, Xiang Yuntian invited Bai Mengfei to a restaurant near the police station.
The two sat facing each other, but remained silent.
During the meal, Xiang Yuntian hesitated several times, as if he wanted to say something to Bai Mengfei.
The more he acted this way, the more curious Bai Mengfei became about what he wanted to say. Finally, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but say, "Just say what you have to say."
"There's nothing more to say." Xiang Yuntian clearly had something to say, but for some reason, he just kept his head down.
With his appearance, not only Bai Mengfei, but probably any woman would dislike him.
What is there that he's afraid to say? What is he struggling with?
“Just say what you want to say, don’t beat around the bush, that’s not like you,” Bai Mengfei said, frowning. “Just say it, what’s there to be afraid of? Anyway, you know that whether you say it or not, the result will probably be the same.”
Xiang Yuntian bit his lip, thought for a moment, and finally said decisively, "Okay, I like you, but I also know that you may no longer like me, or even hate me. So, I'm afraid that saying it will make you hate me even more."
Bai Mengfei felt that things were going nowhere, so she asked, "And then what?"
She wanted a clear result, a decision.
Xiang Yuntian thought about it seriously for a while before saying, "Then, could you please stop treating me like this?"
However, Bai Mengfei wanted to see his actual performance and longed for his understanding.
So she just looked at Xiang Yuntian quietly, without saying anything, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation.
Xiang Yuntian felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, pursed his lips, and said, "I understand, no matter what I do, I can't change your decision. Let it go."
"Then forget it." Bai Mengfei said dejectedly.
After saying that, she stood up and felt there was no need to continue sitting with Xiang Yuntian.
After all, even if they sat there for a long time, neither of them knew what to do, so why waste their time?
Just as Bai Mengfei reached the door, Xiang Yuntian suddenly stood up and said firmly, "Actually, if you still have feelings for me, I hope you won't leave. We've been through so much together. No matter how many dangers and misfortunes we encounter in the future, as long as we're together, there's no obstacle we can't overcome, right?"
Upon hearing these words, those past memories instantly surfaced before Bai Mengfei's eyes.
At this moment, the people around were also moved by Xiang Yuntian's words, and they all applauded and shouted "Get together!"
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, thinking to herself that she would agree to Xiang Yuntian's request later.
But she also felt that this time was different from before. If she really left, Xiang Yuntian might find it even harder to bear.
So, instead of making a dramatic turn like in the novel, she lowered her head, walked straight over, pushed open the glass door, and left.
Everyone was stunned; they never expected Bai Mengfei to do such a thing.
Everyone turned around, looking at Xiang Yuntian's reaction in surprise.
Xiang Yuntian's mouth was slightly open, as if he was choking up, and his eyes were full of confusion.
