At The Police Station (1)

Lu Yi Feng looked at the place that she touched and he felt the warmth seeping through his sleeves. He was slightly frozen due to surprise but sighed in relief when he knew that there was a thin fabric between their touch. He almost flung his arm due to the surprise, however, Feng Xiao Qing's tight grip prevented him from doing that.

"Aren't you going to go inside?" Lu Yi Feng asked.

"Ah... er... I will," Feng Xiao Qing stuttered. She didn't really believe in the police because they made her disappointed once, that's why they didn't really put high hopes on them and she had also seen something that shouldn't be seen back then, hence her aversion toward the police. She knew that not all of them were like that, but it was just her subconscious mind had always been working that way.

"Why are you hesitating? Aren't I here? Come on! I won't let you suffer a grievance, after all... currently I'm your 'boyfriend'," Lu Yi Feng said.

Feng Xiao Qing knew that Lu Yi Feng was saying those lines due to their special contract, but it still calmed her somehow. Probably because she got used to handling all things -- either big or small by herself, she felt that having someone to lean on for once in a while was... nice. However, she knew that this was only a temporary thing so she didn't dare to lean on him too much and made her afraid to let go.

She closed her eyes and when she opened them, her eyes were tranquil. "Thank you," she managed to choke out her thank. After that, her tone was firmer than before, "Let's go inside!"

The policeman that called her was Officer Li. He was a young man in his twenties and judging from his slightly nervous tone, it seemed like this was his first case. His twinkling eyes vigorously showed his pure intention before he was corrupted by the society and somehow it calmed Feng Xiao Qing down. Officer Li couldn't be counted as a handsome man, but his personality was pleasant.

He quickly told them to sit down and he didn't know who Lu Yi Feng was, so he was able to talk with ease. If he knew that the man in front of him was a big shot, he would certainly become more and more nervous. Officer Li asked, "Why didn't you go to the police station to report for the fire?"

Feng Xiao Qing hesitantly said, "Yesterday... I only found out from the news that my house was burned down. I fainted due to shock and stress." She told half the truth, after all, she couldn't tell the police that she moved out and then shopping for her new place, right? It would look like that she was deliberately burning down her own house just to move in with her new wealthy boyfriend!

Officer Li nodded in understanding, then asked once again, "Is this your husband?" Without asking whether his assumption was correct or not, Officer Li went into a long rant, "As the husband, you should be the one who takes care about handling this thing to the police station! Why did you come here so late and wait until we call Mrs. Feng Xiao Qing?"

Lu Yi Feng, "..." He didn't do anything and yet he was reprimanded by a mere officer! Even his boss had to lower themselves when they met him. Lu Yi Feng's face slightly darkened.

Feng Xiao Qing quickly tried to clear up the misunderstanding, "He's... he's not my husband!"

"Then, who is he?" Officer Li asked suspiciously. This was an arson case and there was a probability that it was done by someone closed to Feng Xiao Qing. Thus, he had a little bit prejudice to the man.

"Er... my boyfriend..." Feng Xiao Qing answered.

"Boyfriend? How long have you become her boyfriend?" Officer Li asked the question to Lu Yi Feng with a formal tone and he already prepared to write his statement.

Lu Yi Feng, "..." He never talked and did anything, but this officer thought of him as what now? Suspect? His expression was getting uglier and uglier. 'Fuck!' He cursed inwardly and almost tempted to flip up the table.

Feng Xiao Qing sweated on her back. This officer... wasn't he too blunt and too rush ah~? Didn't he notice the cold and menacing aura from the man beside her?! "Er... Officer Li... He's not a suspect, isn't he? I just became his girlfriend yesterday and while with him, I saw the news about the fire and fainted. He didn't know that it's my house..." Feng Xiao Qing tried to explain while distorted the fact a little bit.

Officer Li looked at them funnily and then doubtfully asked, "Really?"

When Officer Li asked the questions, his boss was actually listening to him from his office. He wanted to see how the new officer worked, so he paid attention to their conversation. He nodded on satisfaction until he opened the door and saw Lu Yi Feng sit there. He almost fainted in shock!
