"Huh?" That was the only response that I could give in response to this.
Ling Yue saw the confused look on my face and quickly waved her hand as she said, "It isn't anything strange at all. I just simply want to take care of you."
Though she said this, she didn't explain any further what she meant by this.
But the look on her face made it seem like she didn't know how to explain this any further either.
There was a long and awkward silence that filled the air until I finally asked, "Um, can you explain what you mean by taking care of me?"
Ling Yue revealed an awkward look as she tried to figure out what to say, but in the end, she just said, "It's taking care of you, kind of like a big sister."
"Huh?" I was even more confused when I heard this.
Finally, Ling Yue seemed to have thought of something as she said, "You know how you keep getting caught up in these events. I'm sure that they have affected you mentally in some way or another, right?"
I was even more confused, but I still gave a nod since it seemed like the easiest way to handle this.
Seeing this, Ling Yue's eyes lit up as she said, "So basically, what I'm saying is that I'll be checking up on you from time to time to see how you are doing. This is just part of my job as a police officer, so it isn't anything weird at all."
I couldn't help raising a brow as I looked at her with a doubtful look.
When Ling Yue saw this, she revealed an awkward smile, but she didn't turn away from my gaze.
Finally, I said, "Alright." Then with a bow, I said, "I'll be looking forward to working with you in the future."
Ling Yue quickly gave a nod and bowed to me as well before saying, "I'm looking forward to working with you too."
After that, she turned to the side and couldn't help letting out a secret sigh of relief as she patted her chest.
She didn't know what had come over her to make her say these things, but it was just a good thing that she had figured out a way to explain her actions. If she didn't…it would be very hard for her to see this young man again and she didn't want that.
She didn't know what it was, but there was a small part of her that wanted to see this young man she had just met two days ago more.
Was it because she wanted to protect him, or was it something else?
As for me, I couldn't help letting out a secret sigh of relief as well.
It seemed like she wasn't here to investigate the fact that I was involved in the incident yesterday. It seemed that she was here for something else, which was confusing to me, but it didn't seem like it was a bad thing.
After all, building a relationship with the police was always a good thing.
It would not only be a good source of information, it would also be useful when I was in danger.
So I already had the idea of putting this female detective under my mind control as well.
But before that, I had to take it slow since I couldn't use the same extreme methods that I had used with Sasha.
So first, I had to figure out a way to contact her.
I took out my phone and said, "Should we exchange contact information then?"
Ling Yue was caught off guard by how forward I was, but she didn't waste any time in taking out her phone and nodding her head.
Just like this, we were able to smoothly exchange contact information.
When we did so, I could see that Ling Yue was peeking at my phone, as if she wanted to see how many contacts I had.
I didn't have anything to hide since I only had a few contacts in the first place.
Also, I hadn't added Sasha to my contacts yet.
I would have if Ling Yue didn't show up, so it was a good thing that she showed up early instead of late.
Once we had exchanged contacts, the first thing that she did was call me.
As soon as it rang, she hung up right away and took my phone out of my hand. Then after pressing a few buttons, she gave it back while saying, "I've set myself up as your number one speed dial. You just have to dial one and it'll call me."
I couldn't help looking at her with a very strange look after hearing this, but I still gave a nod in response.
Seeing this, Ling Yue's eyes lit up and she revealed a wide smile.
Then after hesitating a bit, she said, "Can I ask you for something?"
I couldn't help feeling very strange when I heard this, but against my better judgement, I still gave a nod.
Ling Yue looked at me with shining eyes as she said, "Can you call me big sister?"
I really didn't know how to react in this situation, but seeing the passionate way that she looked at me, I really didn't know how to say no…
So I just said in a small voice, "Big sister."
Ling Yue didn't hold back at all as she suddenly came forward to take me in her arms, pressing my face up against her chest. The soft feeling that came from it really was something else…
She was by no means small, so it was like being pressed into an airbag…
But what I paid attention to was something else…
"Don't worry, big sister will protect you. That stinky Xia Tian, he wants to betray his sense of justice and frame an innocent victim as the criminal. I won't let things go his way." Ling Yue muttered this, but I was still able to hear it since I was so close to her.
It turned out that the other detective from before, the male one, still thought that I was guilty…
It seemed that I would have to do something about it…
