The moment Xiang Wan got added, it created a storm in the WeChat group.

Wow!


Here comes our sister-in-law.


Here comes our red packet!


Which is better? Sister-in-law or red packet?




Of course, it’s the red packet!

Messages appeared one after another as the detectives joked around—the atmosphere was very lively. Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan looked at each other, their eyes sparkling as though the stars in the sky. Xiang Wan’s heart was filled with sweetness that she felt her hand was light as a feather as she typed a message in the chat group.

Everyone please, just call me by my name.


No! Captain Bai will bash us.


Call her Teacher Xiang then!
It was rare to see Bai Muchuan in the chat.
Otherwise, if she feels embarrassed, I’m going to be in for a hard time!
He continued.

Wow! Captain Bai doting his wife—

Everyone started to spam the chat with all kinds of emoticons in response to that message which made Xiang Wan felt dizzy. Somehow she felt that the word
wife
in the chat group seemed a little striking.
She had never experienced the feeling of being bound together with another person, as though sharing the same destiny, breathing the same air, and having the same feelings—they liked each other.
Enthusiasm and warmth were wonderful feelings.
And her thoughts started to shift to her novel plot.


Going forward, both her female and male protagonist should start their secret love affair.
Umm, no, their romance…

Captain Bai, is it because you want to keep the relationship under wraps that both you and Teacher Xiang do not hit the like button for each other’s WeChat Moments?


… I don’t hit the like button only because I’m not familiar with her. Look, the moment I hit the like button, I told all of you immediately.
Bai Muchuan added the laughing emoticon.

You’re not the one who told us. It’s Tang Yuanchu who told us.
Someone typed a reply cheerfully when he suddenly realized something.
Uh… where’s Tang Yuanchu? That young lad is not here, where did he go?


I don’t know. He was here earlier.


Strange!

It was funny that the team was together in one place, but they had to communicate with each other using the messaging app.

Someone give him a call?


… Let’s not worry about him. We should let Captain Bai give us red packets.




Yes, yes, yes, Captain Bai, I want a big, fat red packet! Quick!


Brothers, it’s time to pit our hand speed against each other.


Those who have fast hand speed must be experts in polishing the horn!


Just scram.


Haha, there’s a female co-worker here. Everyone do watch your language!

Inside the ‘Heavenly Chamber’, the detectives were glued to their mobile phones. Inside the car, Bai Muchuan had a smile on his face.
Get ready,
he looked at Xiang Wan,
I’m going to issue red packets.


Yes! I’m ready!

Bai Muchuan issued the red packets after ensuring that she was ready.
Thus, Xiang Wan was the first one to get the red packet—she felt shy as it meant she had the fastest hand speed.

Wow! What a big red packet!




This is the first time in my life that I’ve ever gotten such a big red packet!


Captain Bai, continue! Don’t stop.


Captain Bai, I love you, don’t stop.


Captain Bai, we all love you, don’t stop!

A group of men expressed their
love
for Bai Muchuan—their messages where they cried out
Captain Bai, don’t stop
, urging him to continue issuing red packets, amused Xiang Wan greatly.

Somehow, I have a feeling… that these words just don’t feel right?

…
As everyone was asking for more red packets, the atmosphere was very lively.
One red packet after another, Xiang Wan had a fun time snatching the red packets.
The red packet must be poison! The red packet was truly addictive! Xiang Wan felt as if her hands did not belong to her. She just kept staring at the screen and did not want it to stop.


After a good while, Bai Muchuan suddenly became quiet. He would always alert her whenever he was going to issue a red packet.
Xiang Wan turned her head and saw that he was scrolling and looking at the mobile phone, not sure what he was thinking about.

What happened?
Xiang Wan asked.

Holy sht!
Bai Muchuan suddenly cussed then turned to stare at her in a somber manner.

Hm? What is it?
Xiang Wan’s tone was slightly on the higher side as she was confused by his behavior.
However, not only did Bai Muchuan not say a word, his gaze started to feel colder that her heart started to feel uneasy. His gaze was sharp like a pair of claws that grabbed her heart. She felt like looking away from him…
Did something grave happen?
The two of them were inside the car. What could have happened?
Xiang Wan could not help but lower her head to look at his mobile phone instead.
In the end, she saw a selfie of herself wearing the policewoman uniform which she posted on her WeChat Moments on his mobile phone.
Beneath that selfie post, there were many compliments and enthusiastic comments from her friends and colleagues…

Xiang Wan.
Bai Muchuan’s voice was suddenly somber.
I noticed something very terrifying.


What is it?
Xiang Wan was surprised by his remark.

My entire team of detectives are friends with you in WeChat. You even added Cheng Zheng. Why didn’t you add me?


I…
Xiang Wan felt a little guilty.
She did notice the baffling fact that she and Bai Muchuan did not add each other in WeChat. As she wanted to maintain a
special messaging experience
with him, she never raised this issue but continued the
primitive
method of using SMS to communicate with him.
But on second thoughts, she regained her composure.
Why didn’t you add me then?
she refuted grumpily.

I’m always so busy!
Bai Muchuan grunted,
I don’t have time to think about all this. Can’t you take the initiative?


I don’t have the guts!
She pouted,
What if I sent a request and it didn’t get through? I’ll get hurt.

Bai Muchuan:
…

Xiang Wan saw his peeved expression and knew that he was irritated about the fact that she was friends with Cheng Zheng in WeChat but had left him out. His pride as a man couldn’t allow that.
Hence, after giving it a thought, she softened her stance, held his hand with both of her hands tightly, and leaned on his shoulder, her pretty face looking all serious.

Actually, ain’t this proof enough that you are different from others?


…
Bai Muchuan gave her a sidelong glance.

If it’s possible, I don’t even want to use SMS. I’d rather communicate with you by writing letters.


…

Haha! 
She managed to make Bai Muchuan laugh.
Bai Muchuan knocked her forehead with a finger.

Stop blabbering nonsense!


I’m not lying, I’m serious,
Xiang Wan said softly while looking at him,
look at me, don’t I look serious?


…
There was not much light inside the car, but the amount was enough to see her fair, delicate face that looked adorable and mischievous. He felt strangely reassured.
Bai Muchuan:
Tell me then, why do you talk about writing letters?


In the ancient times, people communicate via letters which can take months to send and receive. Isn’t there a saying? In a lifetime, one could only have enough time to love a person—

As Xiang Wan said that, she stared at him without blinking an eyelid.
One could only have enough time to love one person in a lifetime. She said that she wanted to communicate with him via letters. It was simply because she wanted to be a couple with him all her life.
She believed that Bai Muchuan would understand her.
She waited quietly for his response as she gazed at him.
But for a long time, he did not speak. His gaze fell on her hopeful face where it gradually became sharper.

Xiang Wan—

He stopped after calling her name.
It was all quiet inside the car.
Both of them had noticed that this was not a good place to talk about romance.
Nevertheless, for a couple who was passionately in love—the burst of emotions was the hardest to control.

Hm?
Xiang Wan was a little nervous. Her fingers fiddled around his sleeves slowly and subconsciously. Bai Muchuan lowered his head, took her hand and held it in his palm. Then he slowly bent down to her—
Xiang Wan was slightly surprised.
The moment she thought of the fact that there was a designated driver in the car, she found herself unable to raise her head.

… What?

The corners of Bai Muchuan’s mouth seemed to have lifted up.
Why don’t you write to me tomorrow? A handwritten one…


…

Xiang Wan looked at his earnest face.
Does the post office still offer postal service
?

!


Haha!

The two of them burst into laughter.
The atmosphere instantly became relaxed. After the designated driver stole a few glances at the rearview mirror, both of them stopped laughing and behaved themselves.
When Xiang Wan got back, Fang Yuanyuan was actually not at home.
Xiang Wan sent her a message to ask about her whereabouts where she replied that she was having dinner with her colleagues. Xiang Wan did not ask anymore and went to her bedroom.

I need to write my update. You should go wash up and rest early.

Hearing her words, Bai Muchuan walked over to her door and leaned on the frame.
Can I borrow your sofa for a while?

Xiang Wan was puzzled.
What do you mean?

It was easy to get off work early. Moreover, since there was nothing urgent to handle, shouldn’t he go to bed early and have a good night’s sleep? What did he want to do now?
Bai Muchuan pointed at her sofa.
I can’t sleep when I’m alone. I just want to lie on your sofa a bit…

When he said this, he saw Xiang Wan’s eyebrows knitted together.
I won’t disturb you,
he immediately promised,
I won’t talk and I won’t harass you.

In fact, when Xiang Wan was writing, she did not like having people around her. This was because she could easily get distracted, and it was certainly not easy to get into the writing state. However, the moment she looked at Bai Muchuan’s sincere and innocent expression, she got soft-hearted.

Alright then, suit yourself!

Bai Muchuan’s lips formed a smile as he walked casually to the sofa as if this was his bedroom.
Plop! 
He lied down on the sofa as though he had
died in battle
.
Pffft! 
Xiang Wan could not help giggling at his humorous style of lying on the sofa while she quickly went in the toilet for a quick change of clothes. She washed her hands and sat in front of the laptop to write her update for the day…
At first, she had a feeling that she was being stared at from behind.
After typing a few words, she turned around to look at him.
However, all that she saw was Bai Muchuan, whose eyes were closed tightly, resting on the sofa.
After doing that for a few more times, Xiang Wan finally calmed down and her speed of writing increased.
The process of writing a new chapter every day was simply a process of entering the story slowly. When she started, she was still conscious of herself in her mind. But as she continued writing, there was only her female protagonist in her head. She could not feel anything else as her heart and her head was completely controlled by her story…
Maybe it was because she was in a good mood, the romance plot in the story began to unfold in full swing.
Now that she was in an actual relationship, Xiang Wan could write about romance easier and more realistic than before.
When she finished writing her latest chapter in a breeze, she realized that she could write romance fiction very well.
Hur! 
Fang Yuanyuan had looked down on her on this aspect. She wanted to let her look at her latest update where it was filled with romance—
No, no, no! Yuanyuan’s now a heartbroken individual, 
thought Xiang Wan, it’s not nice to show her a chapter of sweet romance. Why not let her have a cat?

Xiang Wan then decided that she would get Fang Yuanyuan to bring her pet cat, Bao Jie, over to this house, so that she would not be so lonely.
Yeah, she should do just that as she had a boyfriend now.
Xiang Wan was delighted when she thought of that. After going through one more time to check her work, she uploaded her update.
She had actually updated two chapters for the past few days. The reason for only writing one chapter was because she wanted to spend more time with Bai Muchuan. Hence, she also left a note for her readers that there would only be one chapter for that day.
As she had been very diligent recently, her reviews and comments page was filled with comments telling her to take care of her health. Xiang Wan felt very glad and blissful.
When she finished looking through her reviews and comments page and found no strange messages, she checked her income.
It was growing!
She was on the path to becoming a famous author!
Letting her imagination run wild as she thought about life as a famous author, she started to grin from ear to ear until a hand landed gently on her shoulder.

What are you laughing about?
