Two days have passed and so far there's no cases for them to solve. "Where do you guys want to go eat for lunch today?" Kai Ge asks the team. "Kai Ge, is your mind carrying only food?" Bi Bi jokingly asks.
Everyone has started to miss the old days. Even though their workload in their old work force might not be much fun or entertaining, at least there was something to do. Right now they feel like they're just getting all moldy up.
*RING RING*
Li Yi's phone starts ringing and the caller id displays "mom." Li Yi doesn't want to pick up because she knew her mom would nag and tell her to come back to help her dad. The ringing ends and in a few seconds, her dad starts calling her.
Li Yi's dad is a very understanding person. He doesn't push her to do anything that she doesn't like or want to do. But in her family, her mom is like the top priority. She's like the queen. But even though her mom likes to take control of her life, Li Yi's dad would always step up for her.
She slides the button on the phone. "Dad."
"Li Yi, are you busy right now?" Her dad quietly asks her. Li Yi shakes her head, "no, why? Did something happen?"
Everytime when her dad talks quietly like that, there must be something.
"Your mom's friend's nephew just came back from America and she wants you to come back." After hearing what her dad told her, she knew that her mom is gonna force her to do something that she won't like. She's even using dad to make her go back too, cuz she knows that Li Yi won't say no to him.
Li Yi sighs, "dad I'll come back." She ends the call and packs her stuff.
"You guys can eat without me today. I'm going back home to eat." Li Yi left without giving them a chance to say anything and left the office.
As she walks to get her car, she sees a woman pestering another man. Li Yi isn't a gossip person, but as she was about to just walk past them, she saw that the man is Zhang Yu Xuan.
'What's happening? Is that his girlfriend?' Li Yi thought, but she didn't stay long to see what happened or walk up to them. She just got in her car and drove off.
Li Yi's parents' house isn't very far from the police station. It took Li Yi less than 20 minute to get there. She parked her car outside the house and saw her nanny waiting for her.
"Liu ma, why are you here?" Li Yi takes her hands and holds it.
"Ah Yi, I came out to wait for you."
Liu ma is already 76, and she has been taking care of Li Yi ever since she was a baby. She loves and cares for Li Yi a lot. Everytime when she's depressed, Liu ma would always be there for her and comfort her. For the past 7 years, she hasn't seen Li Yi a lot. Now that Li Yi is back, she's so happy to see her.
"Let's go in. They're all here already," as Liu Ma smiles and walks in with her.
Before entering, Li Yi could hear all the laughing and talking already. All these noises mainly came from her mom.
" Li Yi, your back! Come and meet your auntie Zhang, and her nephew Alan."
Li Yi's mom drags her and walks over to where they're seated.
"Li Yi, long time no see. I remember the last time I saw you was when you were a kid. How are you doing?" Auntie Zhang talks to Li Yi warmly.
"Hello Auntie Zhang, you are still so beautiful."
One compliment could make them so happy already. Li Yi already learned this trick after so many years listening to her mom saying it.
Li Yi looks over and sees a man sitting there with a cap over his head. "This is?" Li Yi asks and looks at him.
"Ahh, this is your auntie Zhang's nephew."
Li Yi could see Auntie Zhang nudge his shoulders. Li Yi kept her smile on her face.
He stood up, shook her hand and sat back down. She didn't even get to see a close up on his face yet, and yet he has sat back down already.
Both of the moms awkwardly stare at each other and laugh. "C'mon, go wash your hand and let's eat."
At the dinner table, Li Yi notices that Alan still won't show his face. 'Is he ugly or something? Why is he wearing his cap, so down that is covering his face? Can he even see what he's eating?' Li Yi looks at him with so much doubt.
"Li Yi, I heard your mom say that you're a detective right?" Li Yi nods her head. "My son is also a detective. Maybe you know him?"
"The police department is so big, so I don't think so I know him." As Li Yi finishes saying, the doorbell rings.
"Maybe it's him. Liu ma, can you help open the door please?" as Li Yi's mom calls.
The door opens and walks in a tall guy in a black suit.
"Sorry I'm late."
That voice, Li Yi could never forget. She has a very good memory and she could never forget anything she sees and hears. She turns around and froze.
"It couldn't be. It couldn't be.." she kept whispering those words over and over again. A light bulb just hit her head. "Auntie Zhang. Zhang. Her son is Zhang Yu Xuan?!"
Both of their eyes met, and as she is debating whether or not to act like she doesn't know him. He walks up to her and puts his hand out.
"Hi, my name is Zhang Yu Xuan. Nice to meet you." His bright and warm smile is making Li Yi so uncomfortable.
She had never seen him like this for the past two days at work. From what she knows about him, he is always cold and would always be on that straight face.
"This is ridiculous. How could this be happening to me," as Li Yi talks to herself without realizing that he's still in front of him and holding his hand out.
He looked at her again, and Li Yi quickly shook his hand. "I'm Li Yi." And quickly releases her hand.
He kept his smile on and walked over to his cousin Alan.
"What took you so long?" as his mom questions. "Something happened in the department, and so it took me some time."
"Lie."
Li Yi didn't realize that she spoke out again.
"Li Yi, did you say something?" as her mom asks.
She looks up and sees everyone gazing at her. And she saw Yu Xuan's eyes. The eyes that look like it's gonna kill her any second. "No, I didn't say anything," as she laughs it off.
"Yu Xuan, I heard that you're also a detective right? Have you seen my daughter around before?" Li Yi's mother curiously asks. But in Li Yi's brain, she already knows her mom's next step to this conversation.
Zhang Yu Xuan looks at Li Yi and pretends that he has never seen her before. "I've never seen Li Yi in the department before. But I believe we would be working together one day."
In Li Yi's mind, she is impressed by how good Zhang Yu Xuan could lie and act.
As they are eating, both Li Yi and Zhang Yu Xuan's phone rings.
*Garden 21 road. A woman got murdered and got dumped inside a sewer.*
Li Yi put down her chopsticks and ran straight out the door.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" as her mom screams. "I got work to do. Bye." As the door closed from behind, Zhang Yu Xuan also stood up.
"I'm sorry, there's a new case and I have to go now." He said goodbye and left also.
"These two kids." Both mom sighs as they know they can't do anything about it anymore.
