After moving the luggage back from the car, and spending another two hours, they finally managed to place everything in its designated spot. By then, the sky had completely darkened.

"I'm so tired."

After a tiring half-day,

no,

an exhausting full day, Lin Feifei lay sprawled on the bed in a "大" shape, not wanting to move at all.

"Let me give you a massage, show you the Li family massage technique."

"Hurry and give my shoulders a rub, they don't feel like mine anymore."

Li Xiang, a grandmaster in forensic medicine, has a profound understanding of the human body. At his level, all techniques converge into one. He is thoroughly skilled in massages that alleviate fatigue.

Under his skilled hands, Lin Feifei let out a comfortable hum, "So comfy, if I didn't know you're a cop, I'd think you're a professional masseur. It's so comfortable."

"You're just too tired."

Although Li Xiang joked about being a professional masseur, it was self-deprecating humor.

If others said he was a professional masseur, then that would be a problem.

"You cops, don't you all have great stamina? Your body is as strong as a bull's!"

At this moment, Lin Feifei finally realized how great it is to have a boyfriend who is a cop.

"Pretty much!"

Finding another like him is quite rare.

"You give me a massage, and I'll treat you to dinner."

That evening, Lin Feifei's idea of treating someone to dinner meant cooking it herself.

Only then did Li Xiang discover that Lin Feifei actually knew how to cook.

"So, even a superstar has a down-to-earth side."

"Don't underestimate me, I've been able to cook for myself since I was young," Lin Feifei pouted, seemingly displeased that Li Xiang underestimated her.

"Then I'll really enjoy it today."

With groceries bought, Li Xiang noted they looked fresh, likely purchased today, probably by that attentive assistant. The fridge also had fruits.

Li Xiang took out the fruits, made a fruit platter, and placed it on the table.

With only the two of them dining, Lin Feifei prepared four dishes and a soup, a very sumptuous meal.

"Wait a minute."

After setting the table, Lin Feifei playfully smiled, took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, and said, "A toast to our new home, let's celebrate with some wine."

"No problem."

Li Xiang washed two red wine glasses, poured half a glass each: "Cheers!"

"Cheers, to having a new place to live."

It was evident Lin Feifei was very happy; after drifting for over twenty years, she finally had a place of her own.

Not only that, she had a career and a boyfriend.

She found contentment easily. This was enough for her.

"Drink a little less."

"I'm happy, haven't been this happy in a long time, let's have another glass."

"Alright, I'll accompany you."

Seeing his girlfriend so joyous, Li Xiang didn't want to dampen her spirits, so he accompanied her, enjoying the moment fully.

They didn't eat main dishes, and a bottle of red wine saw them finish all the dishes, leaving the table in quite a mess.

The aftereffects of red wine were strong, and by then, Lin Feifei, face flushed, was already passed out on the dining table. Li Xiang called her name, but got no response.

"Such poor alcohol tolerance, yet drinks so much."

It wasn't her first time getting this drunk.

During the New Year, in her sadness, she also got dead drunk and stayed at Li Xiang's home.

Half a year later, in her happiness, she was once again dead drunk and settled into her new home.

History astonishingly repeats itself, yet is not exactly the same.

Li Xiang picked her up, carried her to the bedroom, and took off her shoes. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sleeping Lin Feifei utter in fear, "Don't leave, Li Xiang, I'm scared, don't leave me."

"I'm here, I'm right here with you, I won't leave."

Looking at Lin Feifei's small and delicate shoulders, he realized reaching this point must have come with great hardship.

He felt an urge to protect her forever.

After making sure she was asleep, Li Xiang quietly left the room, intending to tidy up the dining area.

The weather was hot; not cleaning up would attract flies and leave a smell.

He was grateful for his strong physique; after a busy day, he only felt a bit tired.

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

The next day was a weekend, so he had another day to rest.

Last night Lin Feifei cooked her specialty dishes for him, so this morning's breakfast was prepared by Li Xiang.

Seeing what was in the fridge, Li Xiang made two sandwiches, fried some eggs, and added a serving of milk.

After breakfast was ready, he called Lin Feifei to get up.

"Wake up, after breakfast, we need to go to the police station to record your statement. I have to return to work tomorrow."

"I'll come after I brush my teeth."

He had already contacted Yu Chuanfei, who was busy with a case recently, so there was no rest during the weekend as they were engrossed in solving it.

This was something Li Xiang understood well.

After finishing breakfast, they both headed to the police station.

Amidst his hectic schedule, Yu Chuanfei still found time to attend to them.

"Officer Yu, you're so busy, you could have just asked someone else to help us, no need to come personally."

"Your girlfriend's special identity makes me uneasy leaving it to someone else. It's fine, the experts from Gongjing will only arrive by plane in the evening, so I have some time now."

"Thank you for the trouble."

Yu Chuanfei personally guided Li Xiang and Lin Feifei to have their statements recorded.

The police officer taking the statement recognized Lin Feifei and was excited to call out, but a glance from Yu Chuanfei held him back.

"Do your job properly, maintain confidentiality."

"Yes."

With such a direct order from Officer Yu, the young policeman naturally obeyed quickly.

Just then, Yu Chuanfei's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and answered it:
