Such an unparalleled young master, who was upright and calm, and has no shame in admiration, who could compare with him?
***
Although Mu Lanshu's attitude had not changed, now that Chu Zhaoyang and Gu Nian's affairs were no longer a secret, the two of them were open and aboveboard.
Chu Zhaoyang comes to wait downstairs at Gu Nian's house every morning and took Gu Nian to the police station.
Just as Gu Nian was about to go out, she received a text message on her phone. It was a text message sent to her by a skin care brand at the counter of the mall, saying that today was her birthday and she could go to the counter to receive birthday gifts.
At this moment, Gu Nian realized that today was actually her birthday!
She had been busy, and unknowingly, she had forgotten such an important day!
The most important thing was that Chu Zhaoyang didn't mention it.
He seemed to have never asked her when her birthday was, and he didn't even have the slightest thought about it.
Chu Zhaoyang was an upright and steady person. In some respects, it could even be said to be simple. At least that was the case emotionally. When he treated her, he made her felt like he was like a child sometimes. It made her heart soft and she wanted to take care of him all the time.
The bad thing was that sometimes it was quite slow.
Because he have never been in love or chased a girl, he didn't know how important anniversaries and holidays were to women.
Chu Zhaoyang was careful, but in this regard, he was also careless.
Gu Nian pouted. As expected, she couldn't expect a 100% perfect man.
Chu Zhaoyang was sitting in the car, looking at the calendar on his phone. There was a line of small red words on the memo on the calendar: Gu Nian's birthday.
Thick, dark and curled eyelashes covered half an inch of light in his eyes. The early morning sun was still cool, shining through the windshield of the Bentley, casting a faint golden halo around his body.
The light golden light fell faintly on his eyelashes, leaving a thin shadow under his eyelids.
Chu Zhaoyang looked at the small red letters on the date, his eyes were warm, and a smile as bright as the warm sun appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Nian sat in, saw Chu Zhaoyang's expression, and looked at Chu Zhaoyang's phone screen.
But before she saw anything, Chu Zhaoyang quickly locked the screen and put the phone away: "It's nothing."
Gu Nian looked at him suspiciously, but halfway through the car, Chu Zhaoyang didn't even say anything.
Judging from his reaction, he didn't know that today was her birthday at all. Everything was so normal, no different from before.
Gu Nian puffed out her cheeks, rested her elbows on the car window frame, and slightly supported her chin with her palms, still very unwilling to do so.
She asked suggestively: "When is your birthday?"
Chu Zhaoyang gently raised the left corner of his mouth, only for a second, then quickly retracted it, and said nonchalantly: "March 17."
"Oh, then I have to celebrate your birthday next year." Gu Nian's tone was full of regret.
After waiting for a while, Chu Zhaoyang was silent, and nothing more happened.
Gu Nian gritted her teeth angrily, glared at him quietly, turned away and said nothing.
The car stopped at the entrance of the police station. Gu Nian said "goodbye" to Chu Zhaoyang lazily and out of energy, then opened the door and got out of the car.
"Nian Nian." Chu Zhaoyang's soft and helpless voice sounded behind him.
Gu Nian was overjoyed, could it be that this man was self-taught and could still surprise her?
Gu Nian was shocked, and tried to adjust the expression on her face so that she didn't look so surprised and expectant, and then turned around.
Chu Zhaoyang said helplessly: "I have to work overtime tonight. Do you think I should ask He Haoran to pick you up, or you -"
Gu Nian said angrily: "I'll just go back by myself. Goodbye!"
After Gu Nian finished speaking, she got out of the car angrily.
Chu Zhaoyang looked at her back helplessly until she entered the police station building and was out of sight, then he looked away and smiled helplessly.
Really, she was so angry that she didn't even give him goodbye kiss, which made him feel uncomfortable and unmotivated anywhere.
After a long time, Chu Zhaoyang drove away feeling very unhappy.
Gu Nian had not calmed down when he entered the office. Shen Xiaoman slid over on the swivel chair and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you? You came in so angry so early in the morning. Your face is almost like a pufferfish."
Gu Nian smiled and patted her cheeks: "It's not that exaggerated."
"If you don't believe me, see for yourself." Shen Xiaoman picked up a portable mirror from her desk and gave it to Gu Nian, "In your situation, you are either angry about something else or you had a fight with your boyfriend, right? I don't think so. Instead of arguing with each other, are you sulking yourself?"
Gu Nian opened her mouth in surprise: "Okay, I didn't realize it. When did you change your career to become a mind-reading detective?"
"Well, it's not a big deal if you're in the mood to make fun of me!" Shen Xiaoman said with a smile.
"Actually, it wasn't a big deal in the first place. In the past, I would have thought it was pretty cool. But it's only now that I understand what love is." Gu Nian shook her head and let out a "tsk".
"Chu Zhaoyang can still make you angry? Look at the day you were suspended, he came over to support you just for this matter, and slapped the faces of Yan Chuwei and the others, not to mention it was a relief." Shen Xiaoman waved her hands twice in the air.
"Then he will protect you in his arms. He will hold you in his arms for fear of touching a hair." Shen Xiaoman stretched out her index finger and thumb, and the two fingertips were almost touching. "Those of us watching from the side are so envious."
"Even those people who have been saying bad things about you have distorted faces. Isn't it because they don't want to admit it, but they are actually jealous in their heart?" Shen Xiaoman held her chin with both hands, "How can they still provoke you like this?"
Gu Nian puffed up her cheeks, held her chin, and whispered: "It's not to make me angry, but...hey, there is no romantic element. I can't expect him to remember any festivals or anniversaries and give me a surprise."
"I think you just don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." Shen Xiaoman poked Gu Nian's forehead, "Teach this matter slowly, don't rush it. Except for this, in other respects, your man has already just kill the others instantly, okay?"
Shen Xiaoman's "your man" really made Gu Nian very happy. She ironed her cheeks, covered her face with her hands, lowered her head and secretly enjoyed herself for a long time.
Shen Xiaoman was so amused by her reaction that she laughed, shook her head and went back to work.
On this day, she didn't receive any more messages from Chu Zhaoyang. Gu Nian thought, since she couldn't expect him to surprise her. She really have to take the initiative to say her birthday.
There will be no surprises this year, at least there must be one next year!
It didn't have to be a surprise, what was needed was Chu Zhaoyang's heart.
Even if it's just a simple "Happy Birthday" to her.
So she planned to go home from get off work to celebrate her birthday with Mu Lanshu, and then go to Chu Zhaoyang's house to wait for him.
As a result, when there were still 10 minutes left before getting off work, everyone from the Forensic Medicine Department arrived, headed by Director Ma of the Forensic Medicine Department.
"We have a happy event that our forensic department would like to share with you."
Director Ma said with a smile, "The forensic doctor in our department has officially passed the assessment and was officially promoted to chief forensic doctor today."
When everyone heard this, they all said congratulations.
"It just so happens that today is the fifth anniversary since Dr. Yan came to the Forensic Medicine Department." said a colleague from the Forensic Medicine Department next to him.
"Well, thank you all for your care and tolerance for me in the past five years. I never thought I could have such a good working environment. Everyone is like a family together. They always take special care of me and help me." Yan Chuwei stood up with a gentle smile on her face, "Today is both my promotion day and my fifth anniversary here. My parents specially booked a banquet hall in Shengyue and invited friends to celebrate. So, I want to invite everyone comes to participate."
Yan Chuwei took out a stack of invitations: "Really, I would like to thank you all for your care and tolerance for me over the years."
Yan Chuwei handed over invitations to everyone. Everyone's names were handwritten on them, very carefully.
"I know that we may have had some unpleasantness at work. But I hope everyone can come to participate today and forget all the unpleasantness. We are a family. How can families have an overnight feud?" Yan Chuwei said softly.
"I know, there haven't been any cases recently. You guys are not busy and you all leave when you get off work at one o'clock." Director Ma said, "You all have to give face to attend, even Director Cheng will go."
Unexpectedly, Yan Chuwei was so proud that even Director Cheng would participate.
"Gu Nian, what is the origin of Yan Chuwei's family?" Shen Xiaoman asked Gu Nian in a low voice.
"I don't know either. I only knew that their family was in good condition, but I don't know the details. She has been working here for five years and you don't even know?" Gu Nian asked in a low voice.
