The Prosecutor Is Accustomed To Waiting For A Rabbit To Hit A Stump - Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Lin Fan may not have been good at studying, but her mind was flexible, especially when handling cases, where her thought process often had to be unconventional to bring a case to a successful conclusion.

She barely finished blurting out “Kiwi neighbor” when, although she didn’t suspect Gu Ye was lying, she smoothly clarified the logical chain, assuming that Gu Ye was simply dissatisfied with her current apartment and hoped to find one even closer to the office.

The unconventional Lin Fan realized something else: the sticky note stuck on her desk with the quote from the Tao Te Ching.

It was as if she had opened up a critical meridian; the classic text and the handwriting suddenly converged in that instant.

She held the garbage bag in one hand, tightly gripping the doorknob with the other, her gaze burning toward Gu Ye.

“You…”

“I…” Gu Ye, who had been so fluent in lying before, was now just as embarrassed.

She was so embarrassed that she felt frozen in place by magic, forced to meet the little rabbit’s fervent gaze, hoping for a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But she quickly chose honesty, clearing her throat. “Lin Fan, I…”

“I understand,” Lin Fan’s ears flushed slightly.

So the ‘high mountain flower’ wasn’t as cold as I thought. Perhaps some people’s warmth is just disguised as aloofness, habitually using a cold face and cold words as a mask.

I misunderstood her before. That kind-hearted, albeit awkward and confusing, comfort from the Tao Te Ching was surprisingly apt. The 13 yuan kiwi, while it didn’t taste like money, was exceptionally effective for digestion.

Although Gu Ye had always kept her at arm’s length, it was merely her own limited perspective that failed to see through it.

Lin Fan connected everything in her mind, glancing meaningfully at Gu Ye.

So, did some childhood trauma cause her such a difficult personality?

In that moment, Lin Fan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.

The image of the sullen, pouting girl with pigtails from the family photo album flashed before her eyes.

Her single sentence left Gu Ye confused. “You… know what?”

Lin Fan quickly shook her head. “It’s nothing. Anyway, I know. But look, my apartment and the one you’re currently renting are the same distance from your office. Maybe you should look for others?”

Gu Ye awkwardly touched her earlobe. “It’s fine, it’s very good. Right, do you want to come in and take a look around?”

Lin Fan immediately tossed the garbage she was hiding behind her back aside. “Sure! I actually really like this floor plan.”

Don’t worry, High Mountain Flower, I’ll definitely let you feel the warmth of socialism~

Thinking this, Lin Fan’s smile became even more gentle. “I just bought some fruit. I’ll go grab it.”

Gu Ye’s apartment was immaculate, with a few law books placed on the coffee table in the small living room.

Lin Fan tilted her head to read the titles. Goodness, they were all books whose titles alone would stop her from even trying to flip through them.

Gu Ye washed the fruit. When she brought it out, she saw Lin Fan sitting obediently on the sofa. As Lin Fan saw her approach, she tilted her head again, giving a radiant, energetic smile.

She really is adorable!

“You…”

“You…”

They spoke at the same time.

Gu Ye slightly raised an eyebrow, a gentle light flickering in her eyes. “You go first.”

Lin Fan smiled. “I saw you brought your uniform out. Do you have an event tomorrow too?”

“Are you going as well?”

“Mhm, yes. We start at 9:30 AM.”

The corner of Gu Ye’s mouth subtly turned up, and her red lips softly curved. “What a coincidence, we also start at 9:30 AM. We can go together.”

“Sounds great! Then I’ll make breakfast tomorrow. What would you like to eat?”

Gu Ye was peeling a grape. Her fair fingers and the translucent grape flesh formed a picture. She then placed the peeled grapes in a bowl and offered it to Lin Fan. “What do you want to eat? I’ll make it. Sandwiches?”

So gentle, like the cool breeze by the river on a summer night, moving the heart.

Lin Fan thought, Sure enough, the title ‘high mountain flower’ is just what people call her because they don’t understand her.

“Sounds good.”

“Have some grapes.”

Lin Fan, as a guest, enjoyed VIP-level service.

The next morning, Lin Fan put on her bailiff uniform, holding her cap in her hand.

Before leaving, she checked herself in the mirror, looking carefully for sleep crust in the corners of her eyes.

She then peered through the peephole. The door next door hadn’t opened yet.

Lin Fan checked her phone again, then glanced through the peephole once more, seeing Gu Ye’s door open. She quickly twisted the doorknob and stepped out.

“Good morning, Gu Ye!”

Gu Ye had already changed into her Procuratorate’s spring/autumn uniform.

The Procuratorate’s uniform is a suit and trousers, very similar to the judge’s uniform. Gu Ye hadn’t put on the suit jacket. A white shirt was tucked into her trousers, looking particularly sharp, and her figure was as good as ever.

“Good morning. Come in, please.”

She really is gentle.

Completely different from before.

Gu Ye had already made breakfast and warmed milk for Lin Fan.

She pulled out a chair for Lin Fan and asked thoughtfully, “Would you like some more egg? Or pepper?”

Lin Fan immediately replied, “No need! Enough, enough! I also brought some fruit; I’ve already washed it.”

“Alright,” Gu Ye smiled, then got up to put on her jacket.

She was a Party member. The black suit jacket emphasized her waist, and the Procuratorate badge and the red and gold Party emblem were like a brilliant finishing touch, making her exceptionally charismatic.

Lin Fan already had a uniform fetish and thought her own police uniform looked incredibly cool. But looking at Gu Ye’s Procuratorate uniform, it had a different, neat kind of beauty.

The heavens were cooperative this morning, offering a clear sky.

The daylight streamed in through the window, scattering across Gu Ye’s jade-like face, making her look extraordinarily beautiful.

Lin Fan ate her sandwich with the pleasure of admiring beauty, and the sandwich tasted exceptionally delicious.

Since they were both going to the same place, Lin Fan felt indebted for the meal and was exceptionally attentive in other areas. “I’ll drive.”

Gu Ye, who was holding her car keys, immediately relaxed her grip. She dared not lie again about her car being broken, so she nodded. “Then I’ll trouble you.”

Facing Lin Fan, she dared not concoct any more stories or strategies.

Last night, just thinking that the little white rabbit was separated by only one wall, she felt restless for the first time.

When she couldn’t sleep, she started thinking again: How should I pursue her?

In the end, she came up with an idea: the kind way to put it was “waiting by the stump for a rabbit,” and the harsh way was “drawing a circle around her.”

How hard can it be to be good to one person?

She hadn’t done it before, but it couldn’t be difficult.

With the main goal set, Gu Ye woke up earlier than usual and put twelve parts of her mind into making breakfast.

When she sat in the passenger seat of Lin Fan’s car, Gu Ye naturally leaned over and smoothly took the safety belt from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan’s hand had pulled the belt across her chest, but Gu Ye intercepted it.

Lin Fan paused, and before she could react, Gu Ye had already fastened the seat belt for her.

Gu Ye’s helpful gesture was perfectly natural. She then buckled her own seat belt. “Let’s go.”

“Yes, yes, yes…” Lin Fan readily agreed.

As the car drove out of the underground garage, the morning wind blew into the car.

Lin Fan asked solicitously, “Are you cold? Do you want some heat?”

“I’m not cold. Are you?”

“I’m just right, too.” Lin Fan smiled lightly, pursing her lips. “We’re both dressed warmly, ha ha ha ha.”

Indeed, there were thermal undergarments beneath their uniforms, ensuring warmth.

This wasn’t the first time Gu Ye had seen Lin Fan in her police uniform, but this time she was looking more closely, and she couldn’t take her eyes away.

Lin Fan drove while blinking. “What’s wrong? Is my shoulder insignia crooked?”

“No, it looks great. You look very good in your uniform.”

Gu Ye spoke the truth. The little white rabbit usually looked soft and cuddly, and when she smiled, she had sharp little canines, making her very cute. But in the police uniform, she gained a touch of steely coolness.

Gu Ye’s words were so candid that Lin Fan’s ears, hidden behind her short hair, flushed again.

Being complimented by a great beauty! The feeling is absolutely wonderful.

When they arrived at the destination and parted ways with Gu Ye, Lin Fan was greeted by Chen Qian’s sharp-tongued compliment. “You’re smiling so happily, those two dimples look nice. Did you pick up a piece of poop this morning?”

Truly, even when giving a compliment, his mouth was speechless.

But Lin Fan couldn’t help but recall Gu Ye’s phrase, “You look very good in your uniform,” which made her especially shy.

Here, Lin Fan was thinking of Gu Ye’s words, her cheeks flushed.

There, Chen Qian, who had just finished his harsh comment, didn’t receive Lin Fan’s usual retort. He turned back to look at her, just seeing the little flush on Lin Fan’s face.

Thump!

He immediately turned his head and continued climbing the stone steps.

He didn’t dare look at Lin Fan again.

The next second, a blush also spread across Chen Qian’s face.

He looked uninhibited and reckless, but he was actually very pure.

“Why are you laughing like that for no reason!” he muttered. “It’s so weird! Even though it does look really nice…”
