Shi Mei felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "Are you at the airport now?"
"Yeah, just got off the plane."
"Why don’t you take a taxi here? There’s a late-night snack spot nearby; I slept a bit too long and am pretty hungry."
Gao Lian joked half-seriously, "Well, this call is well timed, just in time for a meal."
Shi Mei smiled, "I’ll send you the address later. I’m going to order some food with my bestie and wait for you." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel~fire~net
After the call ended, Shi Mei quickly got up and dashed to the next room.
Ye Tiao slept like a log, wearing a fluffy pajama set, sprawling out in a spread-eagle position; more than half of the blanket had slipped to the floor, and her mouth was slightly open, emitting soft snores.
Shi Mei covered her face.
It was a sight too horrendous to endure!!
She stepped forward and kicked Ye Tiao awake, "Get up."
Ye Tiao groaned, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Shi Mei said, "I’m so hungry, let’s go for some skewers, then we can come back and sleep."
Ye Tiao’s ears twitched, she slightly turned over and mumbled sleepily with a hint of coquettish complaint, "What time is it?"
"In the middle of the night?"
"Yeah, Officer Gao is here; I have to show some good hospitality."
Ye Tiao stretched, yawning widely while mercilessly teasing, "Showing hospitality by taking him for skewers, how warm-hearted."
"Yeah," Ye Tiao rolled out of bed, "I’ve wanted to meet this Officer Gao for a while, I’ve heard a lot about him."
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face."
After Ye Tiao had freshened up, Shi Mei was also ready.
The two went downstairs, and the server at the barbecue place enthusiastically greeted them, especially after seeing their good looks.
They got a private room. Ye Tiao ordered a dozen chilled beers and then a bunch of skewers.
Shi Mei watched her go at it. Yeah, she was way fiercer when it came to eating.
Just as they finished ordering, Officer Gao’s message popped up on WeChat: I’m here.
[Shi Mei]: Where are you, shall I come fetch you?
[Officer Gao]: Just give me the address.
Shi Mei sent him the location, and also shared her real-time location.
In less than five minutes, Gao Lian had found his way there.
Upon seeing Shi Mei, Gao Lian looked a bit surprised and couldn’t help but take an extra glance.
Although they’d kept in touch by phone, it had been a long time since he had seen Shi Mei, and he was surprised to find that she seemed a bit different from before.
At least her style of clothing had changed quite a lot.
When she was still in Yan City, she mostly wore pink, cute-style clothes, but now, she had her hair up in a high ponytail with some stray wisps of hair in front, giving off a sense of powerful beauty.
She was wearing a red little jacket, making her complexion look great.
After a look, Gao Lian concluded, "Gained a bit of weight."
Ye Tiao laughed, "Typical man."
Gao Lian grinned, showing his white, neat teeth, and extended his hand, "Hello, Gao Lian."
Ye Tiao shook his hand, "Ye Tiao, as in graceful."
While Gao Lian was sizing up Shi Mei, Ye Tiao was also checking out Gao Lian.
This Officer Gao was a bit better-looking than she imagined, with a very clean demeanor; his haircut was a neat buzz cut, his skin looked slightly darkened from years of being outdoors, giving him a majestic and somewhat aggressive appearance—easy to remember, yet overall, he exuded a comforting sense of security.
He seemed quite tall.
Ye Tiao casually stood up, well, her height of 179 cm fell half a head shorter than his.
After suffering all day, I feel so weak...
Everyone, come back at 11 PM for updates; I’ll continue posting then.
