"Well, but in fact, the matter of me beating him has nothing to do with Xiaoxiao, it’s just that he’s too foul-mouthed and deserved it. Otherwise, even if Xiaoxiao had pulled me in, I wouldn’t have hit him."
Xiao Yi nodded and did not hide his thoughts at the time. He didn’t know what Zeng Xiaomei would think, but that was the truth back then, and he didn’t want to implicate Zeng Xiaoxiao.
"Oh?"
Zeng Xiaomei looked at Xiao Yi somewhat surprisingly, not expecting him to speak out in defense of Zeng Xiaoxiao. If it were someone else, even if they didn’t know her family background, they should at least know that she is now the captain of the criminal police, and at this time, they should be keen to take credit.
"Yes, what I’ve said is the truth, so, don’t blame Zeng Xiaoxiao later."
Xiao Yi nodded at Zeng Xiaomei.
"I didn’t expect you to be quite righteous."
Hearing Xiao Yi defend Xiaoxiao because he was worried that she would blame her, Zeng Xiaomei’s impression of Xiao Yi slightly improved.
Before, she hadn’t had a very good impression of Xiao Yi. First, there was a sense of loss from being ignored, and second, she thought he was just a student, and it was simply too unnatural for him to remain calm in front of her all the time, a captain of the criminal police. In other words, she felt that he was too cunning.
"Hehe."
Xiao Yi laughed lightly and said nothing, seeing Zeng Xiaomei’s expression and knowing that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.
"Classmate Xiao, I don’t stop you from making friends with Xiaoxiao, but I hope you are just friends. I have only one sister, Xiaoxiao, and I think you two are not suitable. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zeng Xiaomei looked at Xiao Yi, thinking for a moment, and still decided to discuss this matter with him, even though it seemed right now like there was nothing between him and her sister, it was still better to take precautions.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi didn’t expect Zeng Xiaomei to say such a thing and was stunned.
"Classmate Xiao, I hope you don’t misunderstand, I just feel that my sister is still young and I don’t want her to experience relationships too early. After all, matters of the heart are unpredictable, and a small mistake could cause great harm; I don’t want her to suffer any harm too early, so, I hope you understand."
Zeng Xiaomei hesitated for a moment but still refrained from saying things like "*you are not suitable*" directly. She didn’t have the heart to say those words, and although she didn’t have a very good impression of Xiao Yi, after all, he was just a student who had just entered university. If he couldn’t take it well, and it affected him badly, his whole life might be ruined.
"Officer Zeng, don’t worry, my feelings for Xiaoxiao are purely platonic, or rather, I treat her as a sister. I think she feels the same way about me, or maybe she doesn’t even consider me a friend, she just finds me fun. What you worried about won’t happen," Xiao Yi responded, surprised that Zeng Xiaomei was actually worried about this.
Looking at Zeng Xiaomei’s anxious expression, fearing that he couldn’t handle it, he couldn’t help feeling a bit grateful within. He knew that what she was hinting at was the typical dramatic words found in all those melodramas—*you are not suitable for her, she is out of your league.*
However, he didn’t act like many male leads in melodramatic dramas, who would have slammed the table and gone into a tirade about the freedom of love and how no one could force him to do anything, instead he simply smiled and made a brief comment.
Although Xiaoxiao was quite cute, he had really never considered being with her in any capacity, at least up to this point. He hadn’t thought about it, and as for the future, he couldn’t predict it nor would he make promises, so he simply spoke of the present.
"Then, thank you, haha."
Xiaomei hadn’t noticed the emphasis Xiao Yi placed on the word "now." Seeing his composed demeanor, which lacked any typical male reaction to such statements, she couldn’t help but be a little surprised. Hearing what he said about Xiaoxiao’s feelings towards him, she was even more startled. Although this was the conclusion she had come to based on her understanding of her sister, she hadn’t expected him to be so self-aware and clear about his position—he’d thought he might be quite attracted to her since she always called him Brother Xiao.
It took her a moment to recover before smiling at Xiao Yi.
"You’re welcome, Officer Zeng. Anything else?"
Xiao Yi wasn’t afraid of the police, but he didn’t particularly like them either. After all, strictly speaking, he could be considered from a different world compared to the police, as many of his principles and methods were completely different from theirs.
Once the discussion was over, he wanted to leave. There was no point in staying at the police station any longer, where the only decent view, besides the beautiful policewoman opposite him, was pretty bleak.
"That’s it, let’s head out."
Xiaomei waved her hand and stood up, walking towards the door first.
"Oh, here’s my business card. If you run into any trouble, you can call me anytime; my phone is on 24/7."
Xiaomei took a few steps, then stopped and pulled out a business card, which she handed to Xiao Yi.
"Oh, then thank you, Officer Zeng."
Although Xiao Yi felt he might never use the number—not just because of his confidence but also because he knew that if he did run into an insurmountable problem, he wouldn’t likely seek help from the police—he still took the card and casually put it in his coat pocket.
"Classmate Xiao, you better remember my number. I know Ziming Li; he is a very narrow-minded person. If you provoke him, he will definitely find a way to get back at you."
Seeing how Xiao Yi had nonchalantly tossed the card into his pocket without even looking, a hint of displeasure flashed in Xiaomei’s eyes. She felt he was too presumptuous. So many people wanted her business card and couldn’t get it; his act was like treating her kindness with ingratitude. At that moment, she almost felt like letting Ziming Li do whatever he wanted with him, but in the end, she suppressed her irritation and reminded him.
"Sure, I definitely will."
Xiao Yi hadn’t expected Xiamei to give him her card because she was worried about Ziming Li retaliating against him. Although he didn’t think someone like Ziming Li could really cause him any trouble, he acknowledged her good intentions with a slight sense of apology. Saying this, he deliberately took out the card again, glanced at the number, and then put it back in his pocket.
Xiaomei almost choked on her own blood as she saw Xiao Yi casually pull out the card, glance at it, and put it back. It seemed like she had forced him to pay attention to the card out of fear it wouldn’t be taken seriously, and he had reluctantly looked at it out of obligation. Her card, after all, was highly sought after by countless young elites across G City. Was it really worth so little?
This kid was truly ungrateful!
Xiaomei didn’t say anything more, nor did she want to say anything further. She just silently decided she would make him suffer a bit before helping him if he ever did call for assistance in the future, just to teach him a lesson and show him the importance of her card!
