A meal lasted for three hours, with everyone chatting and laughing, the host and guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Sun Zhidong drove him back home again in the evening. Since he had accepted his hospitality, Li Xiang thought it best to refrain from saying much else.

When he got home, Li Xiang took out his phone and discovered a voice message from Lin Feifei that he'd missed during dinner, so he quickly played it.

"Li Xiang, come help me move this Saturday, you promised me last month."

Li Xiang checked the time and realized it was only two days until Saturday, so he called her up:

"No problem, I've just finished my current case, see you this weekend."

"How are you coming over? Want me to pick you up?"

"I'll take a ride over, no need for you to drive back and forth, it's tiring."

"Didn't you get your driver's license? You can drive back."

"Sure thing, sweetheart. Actually, I've been meaning to tell you, I'm planning to buy a car too. Without one, it's quite inconvenient, and once I have it, I can see you anytime I want."

"I'm all for it. You help me move, I'll go car shopping with you."

They continued to chat on the phone for quite a while. It had been almost a month since they last saw each other and, being recently official, they'd rather spend every day together.

However, their jobs don't allow them to be together every day.

Lin Feifei was busy with recording and promos, while Li Xiang was occupied with solving cases. Their time seemed never to be their own, so finding a moment when both were free was precious—they had to cherish and seize it!

The waiting was torturous!

The past two days dragged painfully on, especially when there was nothing to distract him, making time seem even slower.

But even slow time eventually ends, and soon it was Friday night.

Li Xiang absentmindedly shut down his computer, preparing to leave work.

Zhidong shouldered his bag and said to Li Xiang, "Hey, Xiang, let's go. Time to clock off, I'll give you a lift!"

"Nah, someone's picking me up in a bit."

"A date tonight, huh? Who's coming to get you?"

Hearing Li Xiang mention someone was picking him up, Sun Zhidong perked up with interest, "Is it Lin Feifei?"

Li Xiang chuckled, "Yeah!"

"Wow, did you really succeed? You're my role model, Li Xiang! You know, I have doubts about everyone else, but not you!"

Sun Zhidong was absolutely shocked that Li Xiang had really won over Lin Feifei!

Li Xiang was truly the epitome of a comeback story, rising from being an unnoticed auxiliary officer to becoming the captain of the criminal investigation team and capturing the heart of a beauty—what a legendary feat!

"It's not about winning her over. We're just dating normally."

"I know you're dating normally. I'll head out first then, go play poker with Xiao Mei tonight!"

Sun Zhidong winked at Li Xiang as he dashed towards the office door and slammed right into the door frame with a loud "bang." "Ow, that hurts!"

The pain dropped him to a squat, clutching his head with one hand, grimacing and hissing!

"Serves you right!"

After packing up, Li Xiang walked past him, pressed the elevator button, and stepped in as soon as it arrived.

"Wait for me, wait for me!"

Sun Zhidong hurriedly caught up to the elevator Li Xiang was in, his stylish forehead now sporting a prominent bump, clearly swollen from the hit.

That impact seemed quite hard indeed.

Li Xiang shook his head, "Why the rush? Don't you know to walk slower?"

They pressed the elevator button for the first floor and headed straight for the main entrance.

He had just received a text from Lin Feifei saying she had arrived at the police station entrance, so he'd see her as soon as he stepped outside.

When he reached the entrance, there was her iconic little red car—an eye-catching combo of luxury car and beauty.

"Off work now, quickly, did you miss me?"

"I missed you terribly!"

"Quick, get in, I'm starving. I haven't eaten since noon."

"You must eat, come on, let's get you something delicious."

Li Xiang opened the car door to get in.

"You drive, I'm exhausted after driving for two hours, my back and waist are killing me."

"Careless of me, I'll drive. I'll give you a Li-style massage tonight, guarantee you a comfy night and fresh morning."

"That's more like it. I want grilled squid, soaked seafood snacks, and what else?"

"We'll know once we get there, let's go."

Li Xiang floored the accelerator, and the Panamera roared melodiously, tires skidding with a trail of smoke, and they raced off with a launch start.

Sun Zhidong, just out the door, saw this and muttered, "And he tells me not to rush? Look at him!"

Saying so, he rubbed his forehead; maybe he'd skip poker with Xiao Mei tonight and go home to apply some toothpaste to reduce the swelling.

-----------------

The first rays of morning sun peeked through the curtain gap.

Li Xiang flexed his arm, finding it stuck, so he gave up.

With a point added to his physique, Li Xiang started to feel a long-lasting stamina change, much to the exhausted Lin Feifei's detriment, not even awake yet.

Seeing her delicate face, Li Xiang brushed her stray hair back and couldn't resist giving her cheek a kiss.

"Mm."

Lin Feifei let out a soft sigh, stretched lazily, and upon seeing Li Xiang beside her, turned to embrace him naturally, "When did you wake up?"

"Just a while ago, still tired? Want to sleep longer?"

"You have the nerve to ask, are you on meds?"

"I am, you are my medicine, and I can't stop taking you."

As usual, it wasn't until nearly noon that they got up, had a bite, and then set off for Jinling.

"Why are you moving all of a sudden?"

"The place I'm living in now is company-arranged. My own apartment is ready, so it's time to move."

"Is being a singer this profitable? Do you think it's not too late for a career change?"

Even after maxing out, Li Xiang thought he was quite good, but compared to Lin Feifei, he suddenly felt like she was the true protagonist.

Young, with an expensive home, luxury car, high income—truly a life winner.

All he had saved up including bonuses was just one hundred thousand, barely enough to buy four wheels of her car.

Might not even be enough~

"Not every singer earns money. This industry's a pyramid; only top-tier artists profit. Most at the bottom struggle with basic needs, only the famous make money."

"Well, I was only joking. I like singers because my wife is one, but I still dream of being a justice-upholding cop."

"Wow, so manly!"

Lin Feifei enthusiastically played the role of a fangirl, doing an exaggerated swooning act that had Li Xiang laughing, filling the car with joy.

Not a dull moment the entire way.

Following the GPS, Li Xiang quickly reached where Lin Feifei currently lived.

Upon entering the community, he sensed a car following them.

At first, he thought it was just his imagination, nothing to worry about, but he remained cautious.

After parking, the car pulled in as well, positioned for a perfect view of their side.

Paparazzi!

The word popped into Li Xiang's mind.

"We're being followed by paparazzi."

"Huh? Paparazzi? Where?"

Li Xiang pointed at the car, "That car, it's been tailing us since we entered the community, probably recognized yours."

"These paparazzi are so annoying, following everywhere like flies."

Mentioning paparazzi brought an expression of disdain to Lin Feifei's face. Clearly, she was tired of their harassment.

They're like pests, impossible to shake off.

"Let me handle them."

"Forget it, let's not cause trouble. As long as they don't bother us, we'll ignore them."

Lin Feifei held Li Xiang back, afraid things could escalate. His special identity could easily make him a target for others.

"What if they catch rumors of us? Won't your male fans be heartbroken?"

Li Xiang knew well that a goddess-like singer such as Lin Feifei had mostly male fans, and publicly dating would definitely lead to a wave of fans leaving.
