Li Tong didn't know if she could be considered righteous.

But they were indeed purely in love.

Moreover, this girl was incredibly adorable.

Seeing her boyfriend receive flowers from another woman, her first reaction was actually to devour the Swiss roll they were supposed to share all by herself...

Wouldn't throwing it on the ground or smashing it on his face have been better options?

And Chen Yuan was indeed panicking.

His reaction was more exaggerated than when he had been stabbed with a knife; he immediately rushed over and gave her a tight hug.

Li Tong, standing there, felt like a stray dog that had just been kicked twice.

While feeling somewhat abused, she found the two of them to be genuinely amusing and adorable.

Fortunately, she hadn't done anything too misleading.

"This flower..." Xia Xinyu, holding a small piece of Swiss roll, her mouth stopping its constant motion, looked at the writing on it. Her cheeks gradually turned red until her entire face was flushed, leaving her utterly speechless.

The handwriting didn't seem like Chen Yuan's; she was very familiar with his handwriting.

But indeed, it did write her name.

Moreover, it clearly wasn't added later because Chen Yuan had immediately chased after her as soon as she turned around, not letting the misunderstanding last overnight, or even for ten seconds.

What exactly was going on?

Xia Xinyu didn't quite understand.

But she knew that she seemed to have misunderstood.

So, she stopped walking away in a huff and stood still, waiting for Chen Yuan's next move.

Would he think that I don't trust him...?

Clearly, he didn't.

After Xia Xinyu's sprint, Chen Yuan also hugged her from behind, relieved, and sighed, "I almost broke up with you; I was scared to death."

Damn it, if he became single because of this, Chen Yuan wouldn't guarantee that he wouldn't assault a police officer.

But thankfully, Li Tong had written the name on the card, preventing the misunderstanding from actually happening.

This kind of thing could fill two episodes in some urban dog-blood drama.

And in those stories, when Xinyu turned to leave, a speeding car would crash into her.

I protected this home.

With a long sigh, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

And Xia Xinyu, sensing Chen Yuan's relief, felt a little embarrassed because of his words.

Almost broke up...

He seemed really scared.

She had never seen him so nervous.

It seemed that he really liked her...

But I didn't trust him.

No, who could stay calm when encountering this kind of thing?

A beautiful older woman giving him flowers, and she was the type he often scrolled through on his phone: fit, great figure, pear-shaped...

"Did I...misunderstand?"

Looking away from Chen Yuan, Xia Xinyu asked softly, feeling guilty.

"Obviously, you misunderstood."

Seeing that she had calmed down, Chen Yuan also let go. Then, looking at this girl holding the flower, he felt a sense of joy from having regained something lost.

This feeling was like recovering from a serious illness; it was very pleasant.

Damn it, what I hate the most is B misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding for a whole chapter, the female lead gets angry for a whole chapter, the male lead holds back and doesn't say anything like a mute for a whole chapter, the scheming female supporting role takes advantage of the situation for a whole chapter.

You like writing like that, huh?

Your monthly votes are gone.

Of course, if you don't write like that, you'll get monthly votes!

"Then this...did you write it for me?" Xia Xinyu held the rose, placing it in front of her heart, and asked softly.

"Yeah." Chen Yuan nodded, then added, "But the words, I didn't write."

"I...I helped him write it." Li Tong raised her hand timidly and said slowly.

"Ah, that's how it is." Chen Yuan also nodded.

"...Thank you." Xia Xinyu's cheeks flushed with pink, and she nodded gently, then sniffed the rose. "It smells good; I really like it. Yeah, it's nice."

Chen Yuan originally wanted to give it to her as a surprise, but she ruined it like this.

I'm so mean.

"Haha...let me see if there are any bugs in this flower."

Chen Yuan took the flower from Xia Xinyu, who was a little puzzled but still gave it to him. Then, he looked at the line of words written on it and immediately blushed with shame, wanting to bite Li Tong to death.

Damn it, how did she write what's in my heart?

Do you also have superpowers?

But it was indeed well-written.

Fallen leaves bring news: Xia Xinyu is number one in the world!

"No bugs; I saw it wrong; here." Chen Yuan returned the rose to her and gently wiped the tears from her eyes with his thumb, apologizing with guilt, "I'm sorry; I made you sad."

I should be the one who's sorry, right...

Li Tong felt even more uncomfortable, always feeling like her recklessness and carelessness almost ruined a perfect match.

"Yeah...it's so embarrassing; I feel like I threw a stupid tantrum."

Xia Xinyu pouted slightly as Chen Yuan wiped away her tears, not knowing what to say. But she also felt that her behavior just now was excusable.

If Chen Yuan really had another ambiguous relationship outside, and the other party gave him flowers...

What would I do?

What else could I do?

There was no room for anyone else between her and Chen Yuan.

She wouldn't let Chen Yuan make a choice.

She couldn't accept the fact that he liked someone else.

He clearly said that he liked me the most...

He clearly said that there was no girl more beautiful than me...

But fortunately, I was overthinking it.

The kind of thing I didn't want to happen didn't happen.

But the way Chen Yuan took the rose from that woman just now did break her heart a little...

Otherwise, the tears wouldn't have flowed so quickly.

"Um, so who is this?" Xia Xinyu turned her head to look at this short-haired sister who looked to be in very good shape and asked, puzzled.

"Um...allow me to explain." Li Tong hadn't been idle during this time; she had been looking for materials and then presented them one by one, starting with her police ID. "As you can see, I am a people's police officer. But don't be afraid; Chen Yuan is a very good citizen."

Next, she took out her phone and showed a photo of Chen Yuan and her mother, saying, "That day, my mother's bag was stolen, and Chen Yuan helped her get it back. This matter was even commended at the school."

"...I know." Seeing that the other party was being too serious, Xia Xinyu quickly said, "You don't have to; I believe you..."

"But I want to clear myself."

Li Tong also took out a photo of herself and her mother, showing it and saying, "That's how it is. Because of my mother's matter, I am very grateful to Chen Yuan and even said I would treat him to a meal, but he was noble and insisted on doing good deeds without asking for anything in return. So, we became friends."

Hearing Chen Yuan being praised, Xia Xinyu was also very happy and said, "He is indeed a very kind person and has a great sense of justice."

Seeing that they were about to talk about something not so good, such as Chen Yuan's previous affair with a welfare girl, and the story he hadn't told Xia Xinyu today, Chen Yuan immediately said, "Officer Li Tong is a very good older sister. I met her when I came back today, and she even gave me a ride."

"Thank you." Xia Xinyu bowed gratefully to Li Tong.

Li Tong: "..."

What's with this feeling of my husband being taken care of by you?

Are you two already living together?

But she was indeed very easy to talk to.

After meeting someone who gave her boyfriend flowers, and her boyfriend accepted them, she didn't vent her anger but sadly ran away.

Her attitude after knowing she misunderstood was also very cute and polite.

No wonder he likes this kind of girl and treats me like a dinosaur.

Indeed, I can't compare.

"My younger brother passed away earlier; he was about the same age as Chen Yuan." Because Chen Yuan said the word "older sister," Li Tong also took the opportunity to declare her status slightly in front of this girl, so she said, "When I see him, it's a bit like seeing my younger brother. So today, when I saw someone selling flowers, I thought about having him buy you a bouquet, and I also wrote the words on the card...but these few words are his original."

"I see..." Xia Xinyu felt a little sad when she heard this because it involved death.

And after understanding the reason why she did this, she completely understood.

Because Chen Yuan was like her younger brother, she wondered what her brother would be like when he grew up, whether he would have a girlfriend, so she had this kind of fun...

A little pitiful and a little touching.

"It's okay." So, Xia Xinyu made a bold decision and, after looking at Chen Yuan, said, "You can just treat Chen Yuan as a younger brother."

"?" Chen Yuan.

Li Tong's eyes lit up when she heard this and smiled. But on the surface, she still had to be reserved, so she looked at Chen Yuan coyly and said, "Wouldn't that be bad?"

"It would indeed be bad."

Chen Yuan regretted it.

This Li Tong was simply a troublemaker; she was too capable.

If they really became siblings, wouldn't she be stirring up trouble every day?

"Hey, don't be like that; her younger brother passed away." Xia Xinyu gently tugged at Chen Yuan's arm, reminding him to maintain his kindness. Then, she set an example herself and said politely, "Older Sister Li Tong."

"..." Chen Yuan really didn't want to, but Xia Xinyu had to make him do something embarrassing, so he reluctantly said, "Okay, hehe."

"Why did your accent change..." Xia Xinyu complained slightly.

And Li Tong was now so moved that she wanted to hide in her blanket and cry.

With red eyes, she smiled and nodded, "Mm-hmm!"

"Then it's okay; we'll leave now."

Because it was too much, Chen Yuan was the first to suggest leaving.

"Chen Yuan, Xinyu, bye-bye~" Li Tong was really happy, waving to the two of them and watching them leave.

She was especially happy.

And Chen Yuan once again realized that Xia Xinyu was indeed a kind and gentle person.

She could even tolerate things like acknowledging an older sister.

Maybe he should thank her.

"Thank you for the rose." Xia Xinyu also waved goodbye.

"Don't thank me for this; it's all Chen Yuan's sincerity. I just instigated it a little." Li Tong didn't take any credit at all.

"Mm, I know."

Xia Xinyu separated from Li Tong here.

Then, looking at the rose and the words on it, she said even more guiltily, "Did you ever think about just ignoring me just now?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Chen Yuan thought Xia Xinyu's actions were normal and didn't mind her overreaction at all, teasingly saying, "You were crying so pitifully; who wouldn't feel sorry for you?"

"Your tone of voice...is a bit too much." Looking at Chen Yuan, who was making fun of her, Xia Xinyu protested slightly, then said seriously, "Just now, I really thought I was going to be dumped."

If Chen Yuan liked someone else...

Then what would I be left with in Xia Hai?

What would I have left...?

"That kind of thing will never happen."

Chen Yuan touched her head, saying with great certainty, "No matter who it is, they can't compare to you."

"But she's very pretty."

"Here we go again." Chen Yuan was speechless. "Seriously, why do you think everyone is pretty?"

"They are...I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

Xia Xinyu thought Chen Yuan was the one with the problem, not thinking anyone was pretty.

"Even if there's someone who's only a little bit less than you, a very pretty person, they still can't compare to you." Chen Yuan planned to give Xia Xinyu a boost of confidence, so he said seriously, "The words on the card are serious."

Although I didn't write them.

But they are indeed my inner thoughts.

Isn't it said that thoughts are more moving than words?

"...Then why did you let someone else write them?" Xia Xinyu muttered softly.

"She insisted on writing them for me, saying she wanted to feel a little involved; I couldn't help it."

"She's really like an older sister like this. If you had an older sister, she'd probably be like this."

Xia Xinyu could tell that Li Tong had some similar feelings towards Chen Yuan, who was about the same age as her younger brother, because she had lost her younger brother.

And this was clearly not love.

She understood it now.

"But she reminded me of something." Chen Yuan also said with some self-reflection, "Girls all like flowers, right? I haven't given you any before..."

"I do like them." Xia Xinyu held up the flower, observing it with a light smile. "But it probably cost a breakfast, right?"

"You calculate it like that..."

"And you've given me many things better than flowers." Xia Xinyu said with a bright smile. "This flower will make me a little happier. But what makes me even happier is that the person giving me the flower is you."

Xia Xinyu wouldn't be sad if she didn't receive flowers.

Because Chen Yuan would make her feel cherished in other ways.

"So, why did you suddenly devour that Swiss roll just now?"

Finally, Chen Yuan couldn't help but complain.

Hearing this, Xia Xinyu's head was steaming with embarrassment; it was really unbearable.

Looking at the small piece of Swiss roll that was left, she said softly, "I've been very frugal with my living expenses this month. Since I had extra money for a dessert, I decided to buy a dessert I really wanted to eat and wait for you to come back so we could eat it together. Then, I saw you...I'm sorry; there's only a little bit left."

"Can I still eat it?"

Chen Yuan looked at this incredibly cute girl and asked curiously.

Xia Xinyu turned around, holding the delicious dessert in her hand. Then, she slowly brought it to Chen Yuan's mouth.

Chen Yuan opened his mouth, tasting it happily.

"There's a little bit left; I'm sorry."

Xia Xinyu felt more and more like she was an idiot just now...

However, Chen Yuan didn't blame her at all.

He just continued to look at her sincerely.

Then, he suddenly lowered his head, moving closer to Xia Xinyu's lips, and before she could react, he gently licked the corner of her mouth...

This action happened too suddenly; it took Xia Xinyu a beat to blush, stuttering, "Was there something...on the corner of my mouth just now?"

"Yeah."

Chen Yuan looked at this cute girl who was shy to the extreme and still had her idol image to maintain, and he also showed a very satisfied smile, saying, "It was a little delicious."
