Jiang Jincheng was smoking one cigarette after another outside, his eyes were full of fatigue and boredom, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot and red.

Xiao Ling beside him looked at him with some concern, and couldn't help but lean closer and whispered: "Captain Jiang...why don't we go back and rest first? You haven't slept for a long time."

Jiang Jincheng shook his head slightly and remembered what he had said in front of him before, that he would not smoke anymore, so he put out the cigarette butt and threw it away.

"They mobilized police forces and wasted time arranging troops, but in the end, they killed someone and hung him at the door right under my nose. No one noticed the whole process. Isn't this a naked provocation!"

Jiang Jincheng ruffled his hair and said angrily: "Three people have died in three days! There is no clue at all! We don't even know the fucking murderer's gender!"

"I'm waiting to be criticized and I still have time to go home and sleep!"

"You will collapse if you don't rest for so long!"

Xiao Ling's voice was a little loud for the first time, which made Jiang Jincheng glance at him with some surprise.

Xiao Ling immediately realized that he had lost his composure and quickly apologized in a low voice: "Captain Jiang... I just... I didn't mean to..."

"Ok, I know."

Jiang Jincheng didn't care. He searched his pockets for a while and threw the car keys to Xiao Ling.

"Captain Jiang?"

"You didn't want me to go home and rest?"

Jiang Jincheng put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "What? You expect me to drive after I've worked so hard?"

"Ah... I'll drive! I'll take Captain Jiang home!"

Xiao Ling agreed immediately and followed Jiang Jincheng to find the car and unlock it. Xiao Ling did not rush in. Instead, he opened the passenger seat for Jiang Jincheng first and helped him sit down in a very gentlemanly manner before going to the driver's seat.

"Is it the same with your girlfriend?"

Jiang Jincheng didn't forget to tease him, so Xiao Ling had to blush and repeat again: "I don't have a girlfriend!"

"Okay, okay, I don't have a girlfriend."

Jiang Jincheng felt a little depressed and opened the car window. He took a breath and then slowly said, "Let me see if you have found a partner. I am your elder after all and have a close relationship with Director Xiao. I will help you check it out."

"Um…"

"Go straight and then turn left and drive for twenty minutes."

Jiang Jincheng just felt sore eyes, he yawned and squinted for a while. Xiao Ling looked at the bruises under his eyes, which were obviously due to lack of rest for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Jincheng fell asleep in seconds, he gently stopped the car and went to buy some fruit and milk and threw them into the back seat.

Jiang Jincheng lived in a neighborhood full of old-style residential buildings. After Xiao Ling drove the car into the parking space, he turned sideways and whispered twice: "Captain Jiang!"

"Huh? Are we here?"

Jiang Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stretched. Instead of feeling clear-headed after a good night's sleep, his mind felt even more painful.

"We're here, Captain Jiang, I'll take you upstairs before we leave."

Xiao Ling quickly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car to open the door for Jiang Jincheng.

Jiang Jincheng glanced at him and suddenly asked: "Have you not eaten yet?"

"Ah... I... I'm not hungry..."

"Since you're here, go upstairs and have a meal."

Jiang Jincheng got out of the police car and patted him on the shoulder: "But my family doesn't have much fish or meat, so I'll just make you two simple dishes, don't be disgusted."

Xiao Ling's eyes widened upon hearing this and he quickly said, "How could I dislike it!"

"Ah...that...Captain Jiang..."

"I see you haven't had enough rest. How about I cook for you? You can lie down on the bed and rest for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Jiang Jincheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xiao Ling, who had a mine and a backer, would have the time to learn how to cook. He looked at Xiao Ling for a long time and suddenly said jokingly, "I wouldn't dare to do that. If Director Xiao knew that his precious son was serving people in my house, wouldn't he skin me alive?"

"I won't tell my dad!"

Xiao Ling pursed his lips and was a little nervous. He seemed to be afraid that Jiang Jincheng would really not let him cook, so he added: "I... I just saw that Captain Jiang was working too hard... so..."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I haven't slept well yet, so I'll go catch up on some sleep."

Jiang Jincheng took out the key and walked into the building. After reaching the third floor and opening the door, the first thing that caught his eye in the room was the shorts and unwashed socks on the sofa.

"cough…"

Jiang Jincheng hadn't been home for a few days and had forgotten that there were still dirty clothes to be washed at home. It's inconvenient for an old man living alone without anyone to take care of him, so he's usually a little sloppy.

"Well... my house is a little messy... but I'm not like this usually. This is because I haven't been home for a few days because of a case..."

Jiang Jincheng regained his composure, but his ears were still red, obviously not wanting Xiao Ling to see his embarrassment.

Damn, this is so embarrassing! My image as a criminal police captain has been ruined!

Xiao Ling looked into the room and saw pants, dirty socks, clothes that hadn't been washed for who knows how many days, and slippers thrown randomly on the sofa...

"Ahem...um...please sit down first, I'll clean up."

Jiang Jincheng picked up the socks in two steps and made room for Xiao Ling. However, Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, picked up the clothes and shoes on the ground with his backhand, and gently took the socks from Jiang Jincheng's hand.

"Captain Jiang, where is the washing machine? I'll go and clean it up, you go lie down on the bed."

"Hey, hey, hey! Put it down! Put it down! It's not appropriate!"

Jiang Jincheng stretched out his hand to grab it, but Xiao Ling stepped back slightly and raised the dirty clothes above his head. Seeing the bloodshot in Jiang Jincheng's eyes, he lowered his eyes slightly with a little annoyance.

"Captain Jiang needs to rest now. I'll soak the clothes first and then go make you some food."

Xiao Ling's voice was very soft and his tone was gentle, but Jiang Jincheng actually heard a hint of irresistibility.

"Give me your clothes first! They don't fit!"

Jiang Jincheng stretched out his hand but found that he was actually shorter than the little bastard. Jiang Jincheng was 187cm tall with a first-class figure and appearance, an impeccable hunk. He didn't expect that Xiao Ling, a 25cm kid, was actually a little taller than him.

But it’s only a few centimeters taller, otherwise Jiang Jincheng wouldn’t have discovered it just now.

"It's not appropriate, Captain Jiang. There are only two of us now."

Xiao Ling's words were extremely meaningful, but Jiang Jincheng still understood what he meant.

There are only two of us, so even if I wash your clothes, cook for you and serve you, my dad would never know.

"That's not..."

"Captain Jiang, I just wanted to take care of you because you were too tired. You usually take care of me in the bureau, right?"

Xiao Ling caught a glimpse of the washing machine in the hallway room. He took two steps back and looked at Jiang Jincheng gently: "Captain Jiang, go and have a rest. I'll soak the clothes. I'll check what's in the refrigerator later and then decide."

Jiang Jincheng realized that it was useless to say anything, so he just thought about it and changed his perspective: it's not bad to have someone be a nanny for free!

"Okay, I'll lie down for a while, call me when you're done."

After Jiang Jincheng finished speaking, he felt a little sleepy again. He looked at Xiao Ling worriedly before returning to the bedroom.

Xiao Ling was really diligent. He cleaned Jiang Jincheng's house inside and out, put everything in order and threw away the unwanted garbage.

Only then did he remember that he had forgotten to take out the fruit and milk he had bought from the back of the car. Before leaving, he took a look in the refrigerator to make sure there was nothing to cook.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling took a look and found that there were only a few eggs and tomatoes in the refrigerator. There was no need to think about it. It would be difficult to even make scrambled eggs and tomatoes.

He sighed helplessly and looked towards Jiang Jincheng's bedroom again.

I really don't understand how Jiang Jincheng can live alone. There is nothing at home and he probably can only make do with a few bites of food when he comes home after work.

Xiao Ling looked at the time, carried the garbage downstairs, and went to the supermarket next door to buy meat and vegetables before taking out the fruits and milk from the car.
