"Wait, where did you see that?" Xu Zhao suddenly caught on. "How could both of them possibly sleep on the sofa?"
"In the living room!" Lin Zhen reiterated.
"How could they both sleep in the living room? Something's off." As a police officer, Xu Zhao had a sense that something was not right; the two of them must have done something together at night.
Lin Zhen strongly disagreed. "Why not? Maybe they fell asleep while watching TV or playing games."
That explanation seemed reasonable; sometimes people could easily drift off without realizing it. As for games, Xu Nancheng had never played before, but Lin Menghan did. To get closer to her, he started playing games as well.
There was nothing wrong with gaming as long as one could control themselves. If it was just a form of entertainment, a way to pass the time, then how could one become addicted?
"Well, when you put it that way, it does seem possible!" Xu Zhao mused, resting his chin on his hand. It could only be said that Xu Zhao had some sense, but not much.
Lin Zhen nudged Xu Zhao's shoulder again. "Don't get it twisted; I'm saying that Lin Menghan definitely likes Xu Nancheng."
In the past, she could only guess that Lin Menghan might have feelings for him, but now she had caught substantial evidence.
"Yeah, with what you said, I can definitely agree," Xu Zhao nodded in agreement. After all, everyone had gone through their teenage years; who could guarantee that a boy and girl wouldn’t smile foolishly at each other when they liked one another? Everyone would!
That's how Lin Zhen and Xu Zhao felt—they had experienced it and understood it.
So Lin Zhen decided to probe a little; maybe it would lead somewhere?
She sighed; for this silly son of hers, she truly went through a lot of trouble!
"Hey! Wait a minute, dear. Don’t you think their relationship seems closer than before?" Xu Zhao furrowed his brow as he considered this conclusion.
They both had jobs and were busy every day; Xu Nancheng and Lin Menghan also had school to attend, so there wasn’t much opportunity for them to talk.
But Xu Zhao felt that recently during meals, their glances seemed almost electric. He hadn’t noticed it before, but now that he thought about it, it struck him.
Xu Zhao’s brow tightened further. "Do you think they might have gotten together behind our backs?"
Lin Zhen was shocked by his conclusion, her eyes widening in disbelief. "No way! That silly boy has the ability to do that?"
"You must be out of your mind! Xu Nancheng doesn’t have what it takes; Lin Menghan does!"
"Oh my! There really is a possibility!" Lin Zhen exclaimed in realization, slapping the blanket.
Xu Zhao quickly gave her a light tap. "Keep it down; don’t disturb the neighbors."
In the living room, Xu Nancheng's alarm clock rang. He groggily opened his eyes, his mind a bit hazy from sleep, and immediately spotted Lin Menghan next to him, wearing a silly grin.
Before she could react, Xu Nancheng sat up and leaned over to kiss her. After all, he was never one to dawdle in the mornings.
Feeling the warmth on her cheek, Lin Menghan shivered slightly and touched her face, exclaiming, "Ugh! How annoying!" Yet, despite her words, a smile lingered on her lips.
Xu Nancheng said nothing; he simply took Lin Menghan's hand gently, his expression one of earnest simplicity.
At that moment, two figures appeared around the corner of the living room. "Xu Nancheng! Come here!" Lin Zhen's tone was stern, as if she were ready to devour him whole. Xu Zhao stood beside her.
Xu Nancheng's heart sank. Could it be that they found out about him sleeping next to Lin Menghan last night? But how could they have known? Never mind! It would be better to take the initiative and admit his fault to lessen the consequences.
Lin Menghan looked at him and said, "Nancheng, I’ll go with you." She suspected they had been seen together and felt it was unfair for Xu Nancheng to bear the blame alone since it was her idea in the first place.
Xu Nancheng held her back. "I can handle this alone; I won’t die from it." To be honest, he wasn't sure if he would come out unscathed.
"No! Together!" Lin Menghan shook her head defiantly.
"Hurry up!" Lin Zhen urged impatiently.
