"The last time you called me, you asked me about the brisket in red wine, and what was the result?"

"Bravo!According to the method you taught my mother, it is really true, although a lot of precious oxtails have been wasted because of the first few failures, but fortunately, I can catch up with the most satisfactory finished product before Xiu-chan goes home, especially the method you taught me to cut the oxtail into small pieces, which makes Xiu-chan full of praise......"

Listening to her daughter sharing her love affair on the phone, Akemi's mother couldn't help but think of her own experience when she was younger, when she seemed to be as beautiful and charming as her daughter now, and at that time, people who wanted to date her had to wait at least a month.

"That's right, Mom...... When you're coming to Tokyo, Shu-chan and I can't wait to meet you!"

"I'm sorry dear, I may have to wait until after Kate has given birth before I can visit you......"

"Hmph, how can you do this, isn't your daughter's love affair as good as your pregnant pet cat?"

"I'm sorry, but ...... Besides, I managed to find a blue cat of Kate's blood, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"

"Toot, toot, toot......"

With a busy sound on the phone after hanging up, Akemi's mother couldn't help but feel helpless, she didn't expect her daughter, who she hadn't seen for a long time, to hang up the call with her because she was jealous of a cat.

……

When Akemi hung up the phone, a sense of relief suddenly appeared in her heart. Since she bought into the entertainment industry a few years ago because she was spotted by a talent scout on the street, Akemi left her parents in France early and then came to Tokyo to work alone. Over the years, with the exception of a brief time during Christmas, when she flew back to France to reunite with her family, Akemi spent most of the rest of her time in Tokyo fighting for her beloved cause. Since meeting Lin Shuichi and his sister, Akemi's life has gradually gotten rid of the lonely state in the past and has become lively.

After putting down the phone, Akemi first went to the restaurant to make herself a cup of coffee, although Akemi used a steam coffee pot at home. However, because the coffee at home is all classics produced by Sakura-no-Sato, Akemiya's coffee is naturally not an ordinary product. After Akemi added some milk and honey to the coffee, she slowly stirred the coffee in her hand while planning to wait for Lin Xiu's next class.

When Akemi finished drinking the coffee in her hand, she first washed the cup in her hand, and then picked up the phone and couldn't help but send a message to Lin Xiuyi. Immediately after, waiting became the sweetest thing in Akemi's heart. In just a few minutes, Lin Xiuyi's reply lit up Mingmei's mobile phone.

"Ah...... I'm sorry, I was waiting for the ceremony to begin!"

"Xiu-chan, do you remember what you said about your mother last time?"

"Ahh......h When is my aunt coming to Tokyo, should I prepare in advance?"

"Let's forget about that for a moment, she's going to stay in Paris to take care of her pregnant pet cat, so ...... There's no time to come and see me just yet!"

"Huh?"

……

Seeing the news sent by Mingmei, Lin Xiuyi couldn't believe his eyes. Unexpectedly, Akemi's mother actually postponed her plan to fly to Tokyo for this reason. This made Lin Xiuyi breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little absurd. But...... Lin Xiuyi didn't plan to tell Akemi about this idea.

"Xiu-chan, I can't compare to a cat in my mother's heart?"

"Uh...... Maybe she used the cat as a substitute for her daughter's absence...... If my aunt doesn't come to Tokyo, won't we be able to move freely during this time?"

"Eh, Shu-chan...... Is there any plan?"

"What do you think of our vacation to Korea? The World Barista Championship is just half a month away, and I was going to wait until a few days before the competition to fly to Korea, but now that I have time, I want to ...... We might as well leave early, just in time to go there and relax a little. “

"Ah...... Traveling abroad?"

"Hmm...... However, since I'm going to work at the Shinjuku Central Police Station soon, I don't have any important work on my hands right now, but I still can't leave Tokyo for too long, and if I want to be in Korea, I can fly back quickly if something happens, so ...... How about staying with you for a few more days?"

"I'm looking forward to it, it's so good to fix the sauce!"

I don't know if it's because I'm looking forward to traveling abroad with Lin Xiuyi for the first time, although the destination is South Korea, which is close at hand, but Akemi's heart is still full of expectations. When Lin Xiuyi temporarily put down the conversation with Akemi because of work, Akemi, who was staying at home, couldn't sit still with excitement.

……

After Lin Xiuyi put down the phone, he suddenly heard the voice of the counselor behind him, so he quickly turned around and saluted the other party respectfully, and then returned to the venue again.

When Lin Xiuyi walked into the venue, the atmosphere here had become extremely serious at this time. Seeing that everyone else had already sat down one after another, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. So he hurriedly put the police hat on his head, and then walked to the seat with his name written on it, and then sat down a little stiffly.

"Your Excellency the Superintendent of Police, now that everyone has taken their seats, can the next promotion ceremony begin?"

Seeing the Minister of Police walk to the center of the venue, he personally saluted the Chief of Onoda Police Department. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but tidy up the uniform on his body, and then straightened his sitting posture. To be honest, from the time he joined the Metropolitan Police Department until now, the number of times he has worn a uniform is really only a handful.

“…… Next, I would like to invite Lin Xiuyi, the head of the Special Investigation Department of the Criminal Department, to step forward and accept the congratulations of the police director!"

Just when Lin Xiuyi was still hesitating, when he heard someone call his name, Lin Xiuyi's heart couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I saw him stand up from his seat with a little restraint, and then walked in front of the Onoda Police Director, bowed down and saluted the other party, after the salute, Officer Onoda politely saluted Lin Xiu, and then said to him in a gentle tone:

"Lin Police Department, congratulations on passing the strict test of the Metropolitan Police Department, and from today onwards, you will continue to protect the safety and happiness of the people as a police officer!"
