I was still walking in the corridor when I smelled the food that my godmother had cooked. I opened the door with the spare key and sneaked into the kitchen. Then I hugged my godmother. I asked sweetly.

I smiled and nodded. Although the outcome of the case wasn't what I had expected, it was a good thing that this matter could finally be resolved.

After that, I slept soundly. During this sleep, I didn't have any nightmares and slept soundly and peacefully.

Because Wang Zihao wanted to bring his team to find the corpse of the homeless man who was pushed into the river by Wu Yue, he missed this sumptuous meal.

"Come, let's celebrate the completion of this case. There won't be any more troubles for us in the future." Despite knowing that I was pregnant, I couldn't help but raise my glass in this comfortable atmosphere. Just a little, I promised, and spoke to the baby in my belly.

"Cheers!" Everyone shouted in unison.

For some reason, when Liu Xi was elated just a moment ago, she seemed to be in a rather low mood.

"What is it? "Since the case has been successfully solved, what is there for you to be unhappy about?" I asked.

"That's right!" The case is solved, but I can't bear to part with you when I think I'm going back to C City. " Liu Xi said sorrowfully.

After hearing that Liu Xi was going back, my originally good mood changed. Although I knew that this was the reason for my work, I still couldn't calmly bid farewell to Liu Xi.

"It's fine, Liu Xi. You can come and see me when you're out of date, or when my snack bar is almost done, I'll come and see you. "In short, this is not a life and death situation, what are you crying for?" Although I am also very disappointed in my heart, I know that in this kind of environment, the most important thing is to calm down Liu Xi's emotions.

"Shui Er..." Liu Xi hugged me as she cried, "I really can't bear to part with you!" I felt tears soaking my shirt. Idiot, how can I not feel heartache? It's just that I can't show it on my face. Otherwise, would I be able to eat tonight's meal?

I patted Liu Xi's back, continuously comforting her, causing her mood to improve a little.

"Alright, Shui Er, you must come see me more often in the future, you are not allowed to go back on your words." Liu Xi laughed through her tears. I nodded. In my opinion, Liu Xi was still a child.

I looked at the blissful atmosphere, and I felt that this was the perfect time to bring up what I had been thinking.

I held onto my wine cup and walked slowly to Zhang Zheng's side.

"Thank you, Zhang Zheng. Thank you for staying with me these days. I toast you with this goblet of wine. " I clinked glasses with Zhang Zheng. Actually, this was also to strengthen the courage for the words that I was about to say.

"Shui Er, I have something to say to you."

"Zhang Zheng, I have something to say to you."

Suddenly, the two of us opened our mouths and spoke in an orderly manner.

I looked at Zhang Zheng, but didn't expect that he would also have something to say to me.

What else could he say? He just wants me to be his girlfriend or something!

"Shui Er, the lady should be the first, you go first!" Zhang Zheng said in a very elegant manner.

Alright, since he said so, then I won't decline anymore.

After brewing for a long time, I finally mustered up enough courage, and said, "Zhang Zheng, I have seen the sacrifices you have made towards me time and time again. I am also very moved. I think the two of us are very compatible, so … " I looked at the expectant gazes of the people around me, and then looked at Zhang Zheng's hopeful eyes. Oh my god, I don't even need to think to know what their intentions are.

"I want you to be my brother." In the end, I said it. The moment I said those words, the living room immediately quietened down. Everyone looked at us awkwardly, while Zhang Zheng's face alternated between green and white. "Suddenly, he grabbed my hand." Shui Er, you clearly know that I don't have that kind of feelings for you. " Zhang Zheng looked at me helplessly.

"Zhang Zheng, I know how close you are to me, and I'm extremely grateful to you. However, the biggest repayment I give you is that I recognize you as my brother. Zhang Zheng, I hope that you won't make things difficult for me anymore." I looked at him and slowly withdrew my hand.

"Why?" Zhang Zheng asked in confusion.

"Because my heart is already filled with a person, I can no longer give others any leeway. If I were to casually fall in love with someone, do you still dare to trust such a love? " I said. The person I was thinking of was precisely Gu Shaoyu. Even though he was about to get married, I still couldn't forget him. I was still thinking about how much he liked him. My heart has already been completely given to Gu Shaoyu, so I'm unable to give it to anyone else.

"But …" Zhang Zheng looked at me, as though he still wanted to say something. But he didn't know what else to say.

"I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first." Zhang Zheng didn't know how to face it, the only thing he could do was to escape and leave.

Zhang Zheng is too fast, I can't stop him at all.

"Shui Er, why do you have to say this at this time? Look at how awkward the meal was, what do you think we should do? It's not like you can't tell, but what are you thinking about when that guy really likes you? " This time, the godmother didn't stand on my side. She also scolded me for being ignorant.

I looked at Liu Xi, and there was some complaint in her eyes towards me.

Did I really do wrong? I had never thought about it before, I had only thought that it would be enough to find a suitable time to clarify this issue with Zhang Zheng, but looking at it now, why does it feel like this matter has become even more troublesome?
