Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 341 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (52)

The sound came from Jin Shuhe's room. In the dead of night, when no one was prepared, Lu Liruan felt her heart rate jump to 150 for a moment, and her hand holding the phone trembled.

I even forgot to press the hang-up button.

"call--"

Before Lu Liruan could react to what was going on, she heard other sounds coming from Jin Shuhe's room.

She stood frozen in place, her throat feeling choked up. Her brain, which had just woken from sleep and was now severely frightened, was simply unable to process the information.

In that instant, only fear remained.

what happened……

Footsteps clattered.

Move closer to the living room.

"who!"

Lu Liruan finally managed to make a sound.

The ringing stopped.

"Click."

The sound of the doorknob being pressed down to open.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, Lu Liruan saw a figure walking out of the house.

"...Sister Li Ruan? What's wrong?"

The moment Jin Shuhe's voice rang out, Lu Liruan's knees went weak, and she collapsed onto the sofa. After unconsciously holding her breath, a large amount of air rushed into her trachea, causing a stinging sensation.

In the darkness, Jin Shuhe noticed that Lu Liruan was not in a good mood, and rushed to her side in three steps: "Sister Liruan! What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Do I need to go to the hospital?"

As soon as Jin Shuhe grasped Lu Liruan's wrist, he felt her pulse quicken, becoming rapid and continuous.

"No, it's nothing, no need." Lu Liruan swallowed a couple of times before finally recovering a bit.

She grabbed Jin Shuhe's arm and squeezed his fingertips together to show that she was alright.

"Take a deep breath!"

Jin Shuhe raised his hand, wanting to touch Lu Liruan's chest to help her catch her breath, but the faint moonlight shining through the window prevented him from doing so.

One button on the collar of Sister Li Ruan's pajamas was undone, revealing her delicate, white chest rising and falling, and a small mole below her collarbone was clearly visible.

Jin Shuhe froze, instinctively turning his face away abruptly!

Lu Liruan regained her senses at this moment. She had just made a phone call, and the phone rang in Jin Shuhe's room, so of course he was home!

I was just overthinking things before bed, which really put a lot of pressure on myself and scared myself.

"Sister Li Ruan, did you have a nightmare?" Jin Shuhe knelt on one knee on the carpet in front of her, looking up at her intently.

He has thin eyelids, and when he looks up at people, his eyes appear narrow and double-lidded, making them look even more handsome and innocent.

Yet his eyebrows were very angular, which perfectly balanced the childlike quality of his eyes, creating a unique blend of sharpness and purity.

When he looked at Lu Liruan, he didn't realize it himself, but in Lu Liruan's eyes, his focused and sincere gaze was captivating.

This child seems to always be looking up at her. Lu Liruan herself can't remember how many times Jin Shuhe has looked at her from this angle.

It seems that in front of him, he is always inferior, weak, and needs attention and a pat on the head.

Lu Liruan thought this for a moment, and when she came to her senses, her hand was already on his hair, which had grown a little longer.

"I guess so." Lu Liruan pressed his head down, and Jin Shuhe sat down completely on the carpet, leaning against Lu Liruan's legs.

"When did you come back?"

"It's late, around one o'clock?" Jin Shuhe thought for a moment.

Lu Liruan usually sleeps well, and she didn't hear anything today.

"Why...why aren't you replying to my messages?" Lu Liruan waved her phone.

"I only looked at it after I left work. It was too late, and I was worried that replying to the message would wake Sister Li Ruan up."

Jin Shuhe knew that Lu Liruan had a habit of keeping her phone next to her pillow or under it, and that she didn't turn off the notification sound.

He replied to her message, and the notification sound might have woken her up.

Sitting in the car, Jin Shuhe hesitated for a moment before turning off the screen.

"What's wrong? Is someone waiting for you to come home?"

Wu Qidong, sitting in the driver's seat, asked.

Those of them who work in criminal investigation have eyes sharper than eagles and noses more sensitive than dogs.

Sometimes it's not even intentional; it's more like an occupational hazard.

Wu Qidong had already noticed that he was preoccupied, but because the boy was shy, he didn't ask anything.

It was late at night, and he became somewhat talkative.

"Mm." Jin Shuhe nodded.

"Who?"

Jin Shuhe hesitated for a moment, but didn't know what to say. He didn't want to tell anyone that Sister Li Ruan was his sister.

Even if others don't know the inside story, he doesn't want them to think that he and Sister Li Ruan are just an ordinary brother and sister.

"Isn't it?"

Half a minute later, Wu Qidong suddenly turned his head to look at him.

"Huh?" Jin Shuhe didn't know what he meant.

"You little brat, you're just living with people like that? Aren't you going to commit to the girl yet? No official relationship, no status?"

Jin Shuhe: ...

Seeing his expression, Wu Qidong silently turned his head back. Just then, the streetlight turned green, and he stepped on the gas and sped off.

"No." Jin Shuhe didn't know why he suddenly thought of that.

“Sigh… I’ve seen too many distorted relationships at work, and I start to analyze everything in terms of illegality and crime.” Wu Qidong sighed. “You can’t see anything truly good or beautiful in our industry. Da Wen’er, when he first joined the major crimes unit, he was almost obsessed. There was a leak in the upstairs apartment of his, not a gushing leak, but a dripping leak from the bathroom pipes.”

"He pondered for several days, thinking that some case had occurred upstairs, otherwise why had no one noticed the leak?"

"and then."

Da Wen, whose full name is Qin Wen, is a veteran criminal investigator specializing in serious crimes. He is strong and healthy and still unmarried at the age of thirty-five, so he is almost always part of the team when they go out to pursue fugitives.

Jin Shuhe, who had only been working for a short time, had already heard of his nickname "Iron Butt" because he could sit in a hard seat on a green train for ten hours or more without even blinking.

"Then he couldn't help himself and went upstairs to knock on the door, but no one answered! This made him even more worried. It was an old neighborhood, and the property management didn't have any information about the homeowner. After much searching, he finally found the homeowner's current phone number."

"It turns out they rented it to a tenant, and then contacted the tenant, but the tenant had been out of town for half a month, so of course they wouldn't have noticed the leak!"

"They were suspicious and busy for ages, but nothing happened." After telling the group members about their funny incident, Wu Qidong nodded and praised them, saying, "But this kind of vigilance and execution is something you should learn from."

"Understood." Jin Shuhe smiled. Everyone in the Major Crimes Unit was very capable. Working with them was tiring, but also fulfilling. He felt that he had truly found his direction in life and a job he wanted to stick to for the rest of his life.

"You're still young. Our line of work needs young people. Technology is advancing, and investigative methods are constantly being innovated. So are we. We need to continuously train young people like you to adapt to the ever-changing social environment."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu, for being willing to teach me." Jin Shuhe said sincerely.

He could certainly feel Wu Qidong's care for him; whenever he needed help, Wu Qidong would patiently offer guidance and assistance.

In this room full of serious criminals, there were almost no good-tempered people. The few old ladies who did work were all decisive and capable, each one of them could be used as a team, and every word they uttered was firm and resounding.

They had used almost all their patience and gentleness on these newcomers.

"You started calling me Uncle Wu after get off work?" Wu Qidong casually joked.

Jin Shuhe is meticulous to the point of being watertight. At work, he never does anything that makes people feel that he is familiar with them, and he completely acts like a leader.

"Going to work is going to work... and leaving get off work is leaving get off work." Jin Shuhe said rather embarrassedly.

“That’s good. Your personality is suited to this job, and you’re not as stubborn as you were when you were a kid.”

Wu Qidong had practically watched him grow up, and when he learned that he had chosen to attend police academy, he felt both surprised and saddened.

He knew about Jin Shuhe's family situation and worried that he might become despondent and go astray, but Wu Qidong still felt somewhat saddened by his choice to become a policeman.

This child is destined to be influenced by their childhood experiences for the rest of their life...

"So who are you really thinking about?" Wu Qidong turned the steering wheel twice, and the topic returned to the present.

"You weren't tricked by some girl, were you? You're the one without a name or status?" Wu Qidong started thinking about things in a completely different direction again.

"Uncle Wu, it's really... not."

"Do we need to keep it confidential?"

"Right now, I don't know what to do either." Jin Shuhe tugged at her seatbelt. "Please don't ask."

"Okay, okay, it's a leader's job to care about and solve subordinates' personal problems! It's not easy to find a partner in our line of work. There's just too much that our partners have to bear and understand. You could say we're letting them down, because they're destined to bear more of the burden in their families than we do."

Wu Qidong became slightly serious: "When you're pursuing a girl, you have to tell her about this. You can't just trick her into marriage, can you?"

Jin Shuhe thought to himself: Isn't it a bit too early for you to tell me all this?

"Your auntie was asking when you'd come over for dinner. She's really happy to hear you're working for me now."

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll visit you another day."

There were few cars on the streets at night, and Wu Qidong soon dropped Jin Shuhe off at the entrance of the residential area.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu."

"Get some rest! Have a good night's sleep tomorrow!"

Wu Qidong stepped on the gas and drove off.

When Jin Shuhe carefully opened the door, he saw that the room was dark, and knew that Lu Liruan had indeed gone to sleep.

After quietly washing up, I went back to my room, but I was woken up by a ringing bell shortly after falling asleep.

I thought it was an urgent matter at work, but who knew that it was Sister Li Ruan's name on the screen!

To be honest, Jin Shuhe was also startled for a moment.

When I rushed out, I saw Sister Li Ruan standing alone in the living room, looking lost and confused. Suddenly, my mind cleared up.

The feeling of exhaustion I had just experienced vanished instantly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it this afternoon." Jin Shuhe pursed her lips and apologized softly.

"It's nothing, I'm just... a little worried about you." In the darkness, their outlines were blurred, making it easier to speak their hearts honestly.

Even in such dim light, Lu Liruan could still see that Jin Shuhe's eyes suddenly lit up with an astonishing brightness.

It revealed surprise and joy.

"Sister Liruan, are you worried about me? Are you so worried that you can't sleep?" He tilted his head and leaned against Lu Liruan's knee. Seeing that he was not rejected, he slowly wrapped his arms around Lu Liruan's legs. Such a big person, shrinking at Lu Liruan's feet, he looked on expectantly.

Lu Liruan's pajama pants were loose-fitting and would shorten when she sat down. Jin Shuhe's warm skin felt cozy against her slightly cool calves.

Lu Liruan did not push him away.

"Shouldn't I worry about the work you do?" Lu Liruan said honestly.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Sister Li Ruan." Jin Shuhe felt guilty.

Regardless of the circumstances, it's all his fault that Li Ruan is unhappy because of him.

Sister Li Ruan is worried about me.

She can't sleep well at night because of me, and she wants to be with me all the time.

Feeling a sweet sensation in his heart, Jin Shuhe was overjoyed in the dead of night. Everything Sister Li Ruan did for him, all the emotions she expressed that she loved him, felt like a reward.

"Not next time."

"I don't mean to blame you."

Lu Liruan felt that she was being unreasonable after his earnest and urgent apology.

It's clearly some unresolved issues within myself...

But the child really did feel that he was in the wrong.

“Sometimes I forget to check my messages too. What I mean is, if you remember, let me know you're okay, otherwise... otherwise I'll really worry about you. Your job is special, so you have to understand me, right?”

"I don't have the patriarchal attitude that means I have to control the child!" Lu Liruan couldn't help but defend herself.

"It will be all right……"

"Ok?"

"I don't care what Sister Li Ruan does, it's all because Sister Li Ruan cares about me and likes me." After saying this, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart.

"Yes, I care about you." Lu Liruan didn't know how he could be so innocent and cute. After saying half a sentence, she casually added the second half: "I like you."

The embrace on my legs suddenly tightened!

"So you'll listen to me..."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Li Ruan."

She's so well-behaved, are all young children like this? She agrees to everything I say, and she's adorable from head to toe, inside and out.

"Alright, let's go back to our rooms and get some sleep now." Although Lu Liruan wasn't sleepy at all, she felt that if things continued like this, something she wouldn't be able to handle would happen.

Jin Shuhe did not let go of her hand.

Lu Liruan pretended to yawn, and then released her grip.

"Sister Li Ruan..."

"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Lu Liruan stood up, feigning exhaustion.

"No, goodnight."

"OK, good night."

After returning to her room, Jin Shuhe sat on the bed, looking at her hands, and vaguely wondered: Sister Li Ruan... does she actually like me a little?

Outside, the sky was pitch black, and the hazy, clear moonlight made everything that happened seem like a dream.

Am I dreaming? Anything related to Sister Li Ruan is a dream.

Lu Liruan originally thought that after being so frightened, she would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

But to my surprise, I slept unusually well in the latter half of the night. When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside. When I turned on my phone, it was still on the page for making a call.

The missed call to Jin Shuhe at the top of the screen instantly cleared Lu Liruan's mind. She paced around the room hesitantly, unsure how to face Jin Shuhe.

Last night, I think I implicitly agreed to some things...

What on earth are you doing?!

It's this innocent, youthful romance that's impossible to hide—it's so beautifully written, ahhhhh! (scratching his ears and cheeks) (turning into a mala and darting around—)
