Muchuan and Xiang Wan - Chapter 568
Chapter 568: Snatch Red Packets
Why was he avoiding her?
Xiang Wan was bewildered. “What’s up? Why are you avoiding me like the plague?”
Bai Muchuan glanced over and felt his fingertips first before touching her arm. “How is it?”
Xiang Wan was still confused. “What do you mean?”
Bai Muchuan looked at her. “How do you feel? Are you cold?”
“…”
He puffed a sigh. “I’m wet all over. I’m worried that you’ll catch a cold.”
“I’m not afraid of the cold!” Xiang Wan gave him an unhappy look and suddenly hugged him at the waist, totally ignoring the fact that his clothes were damp. After that, she looked at him with her big, expressive eyes. “Unless you don’t like me anymore?”
That look of hers where she scrunched her nose made him pat her head.
“I did that for your own good!”
“I know but I don’t mind the cold!” Now that she was relaxed, she behaved like a young girl. “Hug me! Come on!”
Bai Muchuan cracked up and finally relented by hugging her and patting her head.
“I’ve spoilt you.”
“Who says so! This is called sharing weal and woe, get it? You’re so pitiful. You must have been cold. Come hug tighter. Let me warm you up…”
“Little thing, this is the hospital!”
“Are you worried that the young women here might see this?”
“…”
“I’m not worried.”
“Oh? Is it because there’s hardly any young men there?”
Xiang Wan giggled while tilting her head, then she leaned onto Bai Muchuan’s shoulder and snuggled against him. Her voice was soft and sweet, like a cup of natural sugar cane water. “In this way, others could only see you, the indecent guy who was misbehaving in public by acting chummy with another and not me…”
“…”
Indecent?
This woman!
Bai Muchuan reached out a hand, wanting to poke her nose but Xiang Wan dodged it easily. She seemed to have thought of something as she furrowed her eyebrows. “It’s not right, since we already saved Huang He and his life is not in danger, why did you look as if… your parents had passed on or something?”
Such a description might be a little over the top.
Bai Muchuan gave her an unhappy glance. “Teacher Xiang, please reorganize your language.”
“Oh!” Xiang Wan blinked her eyes honestly. “I mean, why do you look so grim? I thought Huang He sacrificed himself or something.”
Bai Muchuan looked up, took a deep breath but didn’t answer her.
“Tell me!” Xiang Wan poked his arm.
“I can’t.”
Why not?
Xiang Wan chuckled, she bit her lower lip and suddenly tickled his armpit.
“Quick, tell me. Do you want to tell me?”
Little thing! Did she think that tickling would be effective against him?
Bai Muchuan was not bothered in the slightest bit. When they walked into the elevator, he gave a smile.
“It’s my first time using mouth-to-mouth… with a man. Can’t I even mourn for a moment?”
Eh?
Mouth to mouth?
So he had dived into the waters and even did a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to save Huang He?
Xiang Wan paused for a moment and actually cackled in amusement!
“It’s true love!”
…
…
The mission last night was very successful.
The police arrested the head of the current Dark Clan and stopped Operation Heaven’s Wrath in time.
In view that they cracked the case before Lunar New Year, this was indeed a great achievement.
While Bai Muchuan was on his way back home, he received several calls.
They were all from his superiors and peers to congratulate him on his good work.
However, Bai Muchuan did not show any sign that he was arrogant about it.
He even felt that he didn’t do well enough on the case.
For instance, there were still a lot of people who consumed the ‘zombie’ drug unknowingly at Grand Orchid Pavilion, even though the police officers arrived there in time and sent all of them to the hospital before the drug had gotten a chance to act up. However, with all the media reports, it still caused quite a lot of negative social effects. There were also drugs that had been sent to different places by An Ying in advance. Hence, several similar cases took place in other cities as well. Fortunately, as they had gotten hold of the list of participants, the situation was kept under control.
“Don’t be so modest!”
“Serious Crime Division One really did great!”
In the Gossip group chat, everyone had received the good news and were actively chatting about it.
“Captain Bai, you must claim credit for us.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah! Claim credit! The best one would be to give each of us a wife for all the bachelors in the team…”
“Aren’t you shameless? Learn from me instead, I’ll settle for a girlfriend. We should try our best to convert our girlfriends into our wives.”
“Scram! The most shameless one is you, alright?”
Everyone was chatting when they suddenly saw Huang He entering the group chat.
Salimu: “Who invited the new member? So, may I know who this brother is?”
Tang Yuanchu: “He’s my mentor when I first became a detective. Meet Huang He!”
Salimu sent a greeting. “Brother Huang He, I’ve long heard your name!”
Tang Yuanchu: “This is our hero. Brother Huang, quick, come out and tell us how you feel!”
The people in the group chat were really warm.
Messages came in one after another from various members, it was overwhelming.
Huang He took quite a while to realize what was happening. “Hi everyone.”
That’s all?
That’s all.
After a second of silence, Salimu started to show his reckless usage of language. “What happened? Brother Huang He, why do I feel that… you have overexerted your body?”
Salimu was not familiar with Huang He’s current situation and he was immediately rebuked by Tang Yuanchu. “Are you really silly or simply stupid? Brother Huang is injured, he’s injured, he’s injured! Important things have to be repeated three times, you pig brain.”
“…”
After two seconds of silence Salimu pinged Bai Muchuan.
“Boss, someone’s calling me names.”
Nobody bothered with him.
Salimu then pinged Xiang Wan.
“Teacher Xiang, handover my Boss now… he needs to uphold justice for me!”
Xiang Wan took a look at the bathroom and was smiling as she typed. “It’s not convenient right now.”
“What do you mean by not convenient…”
“He’s not wearing clothes.”
“Ahhhhhhh, this is shocking news!”
“Teacher Xiang, what did you do to Boss? Quick, tell us so we can share your joy!”
“Send a red packet and I’ll tell you.”
“What! How can you behave like this? I’m still an ‘underaged’ kid. It’s Lunar New Year and adults have to give red packets to kids…”
Salimu was really a funny fellow that brings joy.
After he said that in the group chat, he sent an emoticon of a kid asking for red packets.
In the end, in less than three seconds, a red packet appeared in the group chat screen.
The red packet was labeled with words—’Give Me Your Support’.”
“Wow! Brother Huang He, you’re so nice!”
The red packet was from Huang He. It was a really big red packet. Xiang Wan snatched and got one with 188 yuan inside, grinning from ear to ear.
“It’s been a while since I’ve gotten such a big red packet! Thank you cousin-in-law.”
Fang Yuanyuan appeared and replied, “Heheh.”
Salimu: “The situation seems strange. Cousin-in-law? I feel that I need another red packet to console my thin and small heart…”
And he pinged Fang Yuanyuan.
In no time, Fang Yuanyuan showed up with a frown. “Are you the young and weak or are you thin and small? You gotta clear this up first!”
Salimu: “Thin and small! I’m thin because of hunger. Only red packets can heal me…”
Fang Yuanyuan: “The other party didn’t want to talk to you and threw a dog at you…”
Salimu was preparing to counter when Huang He sent another red packet to the group chat.
Without any warning, he issued a red packet with the words “Gong Xi Fa Cai”, wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year.
Salimu was really fast. “Aiyah! Brother Huang is really good! Continue! Please continue…”
The entire group chat was excited.
They were busy snatching ped packets. It was only some time later when Quan Shaoteng appeared with an facepalm emoji. “I think that I just missed hopping on board a yacht…”
“Hahaha, in order not to miss out anything, Captain Quan, give us a red packet too!”
_Swoosh!_A red packet appeared.
When they clicked on that red packet, they realized just how big it was.
However, it was only one red packet. And the best part was, Quan Shaoteng issued it but he was the one who snatched it as well.
