Tao Xingzhi woke up from the study, opened the curtains, and the first rays of the morning sun shone on him, scattering light.

The sound of boiling water in the kitchen came, and Tao Xingzhi walked out, seeing Eve holding her hair and wearing an apron, quietly making breakfast.

"Are you awake?" Eve smiled at him.

Tao Xingzhi nodded and walked over, lifted the lid of the pot, and white rice porridge was boiling in the pot, and the rice grains were tumbling.

"You're up so early?" Tao Xingzhi stood beside Eve and watched her cut shredded radish.

Usually he gets up at six o'clock and goes out for a run, runs for forty minutes, and then goes to work with a casual breakfast, but he hasn't slept well last night, he rarely sleeps in the study, he is not very used to it, and there is a woman sleeping in his bedroom, so that he didn't get up to run this morning.

It's only ten minutes before seven o'clock, and she actually got up so early, too, she slept at the police station yesterday, and she must have slept enough.

"In other people's houses, it is natural to get up early." Eve said.

Because Eve was rolling up her sleeves, Tao Xingzhi naturally paid attention to her exposed arms, the red marks on her arms had not faded, but they were much lighter than yesterday.

Seeing Tao Xingzhi's eyes fixed on her exposed arm, Eve immediately understood: "It doesn't hurt much anymore." ”

"Of course it doesn't hurt much, yesterday when you fell asleep, I put ointment on both of your arms, and it looks much lighter today."

Yesterday, while she was sleeping, he gently applied ointment to the scars on her arms, and as for the rest of her body, there must still be bruises.

Eve was taken aback, why didn't she feel it?

"You wiped it for me while I was sleeping? How did I not know? ”

Tao Xingzhi smiled: "How do you know, if you sleep so deadly, you won't wake up no matter how you shout." ”

was beaten badly, and she could sleep so soundly at night, and she was the only one with such a big heart.

"And what about the rest of me?" Eve asked fiercely.

Although she likes Tao Xingzhi and often likes to tease him, she never thought of letting him take advantage of her sleep.

"Other? Where are they? Tao Xingzhi asked in a low voice, and looked her up and down "meaningfully".

Eve was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that she was being molested by him, and this was the first time that the police uncle had spoken to her like this.

This style, this tone, is too abnormal.

Could it be that he really ......

Eve was about to speak, but when the lid of the pot was lifted by the steam, she made a "bell" sound, and she hurriedly turned around and lifted the lid.

"Okay, you cook first, I'll go wash up." Tao Xingzhi stopped teasing her, turned around and walked to the bathroom.

Eve looked in the direction of the bathroom and wondered, what was going on?

When Tao Xingzhi came out of washing, breakfast was already on the table.

A bowl of white porridge, two plates, respectively: diced radish and four small round cakes.

It's been a long time since I've had such a formal breakfast, Tao Xingzhi sighed.

Eve walked over with a plate.

"It's time to eat." Eve places the sliced egg roll on the table.

"What did you cook?" Tao Xingzhi sandwiched an egg roll and ate it: "It turns out that it is still wrapped in shredded potatoes!" ”

Eve picked up a small round cake and put it on Tao Xingzhi's plate: "Try this brown sugar cake." ”

"Brown sugar cakes?" Tao Xingzhi took a bite, and the brown sugar in it immediately flowed into his mouth, with moderate viscosity and moderate sweetness, and he was not greasy at all.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" Tao Xingzhi nodded, and sandwiched a chopstick to mix shredded radish, which was sour, salty, and salty, and refreshing.

Eve looked at Tao Xingzhi's smooth eating, and felt comfortable in her heart, and remembered last night's incident: "Thank you last night." ”

Tao Xingzhi asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I don't know." After all, she is also her own mother, although she will not run away from home if she is beaten twice by her own mother, but she really doesn't want to go back, in that home, she is too suffocated, she is almost out of breath by her mother's force: "I don't want to go back, can I stay with you for a few days?" ”

Eve looked at Tao Xingzhi cautiously, she knew that Tao Xingzhi had kept a distance from her.

Sure enough, Tao Xingzhi was silent for a long time before looking at her and saying, "It's inconvenient to live with me." ”

"I'm only staying for a few days, and I'll find a new place to live as soon as possible." Eve said

Tao Xingzhi thought for a while: "Yes, but there are conditions." ”

"On what terms?"

"If you live with me, you can't live in vain, you have to work."

"Work?" Eve was stunned for a moment, swept the food on the table, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly raised her hand to promise: "Don't worry, I have covered the three meals a day for the police uncle, this is always okay!" ”

I didn't expect this girl to be quite clever, Tao Xingzhi smiled.

"Then can I live here?" Eve asked.

"Hmm." Tao Xingzhi didn't look at her and continued to bury his head in eating.

"Oh yes!" Eve couldn't suppress her excitement, and accidentally slammed her elbow on the table: "Shhh

"Slow down." Tao Xingzhi frowned, seeing Eve rubbing her elbow in pain, he hurriedly pulled her arm to check.

Looking at the red marks on her arms, Tao Xingzhi got up and took out the ointment in the medicine box: "Remember to apply it after eating in a while." ”

"Hmm." Eve agreed and pulled down her sleeve.

Tao Xingzhi looked up and saw Eve looking at him with inquiring eyes.

"What's wrong?" Tao Xingzhi asked.

"I feel like you're different." Eve expressed her feelings, and Tao Xingzhi suddenly showed such concern for her as if she had changed person.

"How is it different?"

"Your attitude towards me has suddenly changed for the better!"

Tao Xingzhi smiled when he heard this: "When did I treat you badly?" ”

"Really?"

"Of course, don't forget that I am a people's policeman, be good to the masses, and isn't it my duty to serve the people? Besides, when did I treat you badly? Tao Xingzhi was a little puzzled, wasn't his previous attitude towards her like this? Where has changed?

Eve pouted, "I still think you're weird anyway." ”

Tao Xingzhi shook his head helplessly, he was really wronged.

After breakfast, Tao Xingzhi went to the police station, and before leaving, he didn't forget to remind her to rub the medicine, which was really strange, Eve thought.

Eve cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, took a shower, and smeared the ointment, she really couldn't go to work like this, and she was not in the mood to go to work, so she asked the supervisor for a leave, who knew that the supervisor told the manager again, and the manager sent a letter to Sister Baotong.

Jin Baotong thought that Meng Nanxing's words yesterday hurt Eve's heart, so he specially called to ask for an apology. Eve repeatedly said that it was not because of that incident, but because she was sick and had to recuperate for a few days, so Jin Baotong was relieved.

As soon as Tao Xingzhi entered the office, Lin Yang came over and gossiped: "Captain, I heard that you saved the beauty yesterday?" ”

Tao Xingzhi glanced at him: "Listen to what Da Gang said, right?" ”

"Now the police station has spread all over the place, saying that you still took Miss Yi back to your house, is it true?"

"Really." Tao Xingzhi replied.

Lin Yang was stunned: "You, did you admit it?" ”

"Admit it, she did spend the night at my house yesterday, but she just slept for a while, don't think about it."

"Captain, you're not right!" Lin Yang felt that today's captain was very different, usually he always teased the captain and Miss Yi, but he denied it every time, and today he actually admitted it.

"What's wrong?" Tao Xingzhi asked.

Da Gang had been listening to the side, and then he also came over: "What he means is that you are wrong, you usually talk about your affairs with Miss Yi, but you always don't admit it, why are you so honest today?" ”

"Is it wrong to be honest?" Tao Xingzhi was helpless, why did everyone say that something was wrong with him today, what was wrong with him?

"You ......" Da Gang was still saying something, Tao Xingzhi's phone rang suddenly, so he and Lin Yang naturally avoided it.

"Hello? It's you...... Okay, let's meet at noon......" Tao Xingzhi hung up the phone, looked at the phone for a few seconds, and then plunged into work.

At noon, Tao Xingzhi walked into the café opposite the police station.

He looked around and walked over: "Hello uncle! ”

Yi Dachuan hurriedly beckoned him: "Sit down." ”

The two sat opposite each other, and the waiter served two cups of coffee.

"Uncle, you are looking for me for Eve's business." Tao Xingzhi is straight to the point.

Yi Dachuan sighed: "How is she?" ”

"The injury has been medicated, and it will heal in a few days." Tao Xingzhi said: "With all due respect, even if Eve is not very obedient, I dare not agree with Auntie's way of disciplining. ”

"Her mother is a little stronger." Yi Dachuan nodded, he knew these two people best, the temper of the two people was like a needle to Mai Mang, and they didn't give in to each other.

"She said she didn't want to go back lately and wanted to live with me now."

Yi Dachuan raised his head and looked at Tao Xingzhi's serious face, a little surprised, but still said, "It's okay, let them both calm down." ”

"Last night, I was also abrupt." Tao Xingzhi apologized.

Yi Dachuan waved his hand: "It's okay, I know that you feel sorry for her, and I also feel sorry for my daughter, Eve is a little more difficult to manage, she lives with you, you can take care of it, it's okay, besides, this child likes you, so she is willing to listen to you." ”

Tao Xingzhi looked at Yi Dachuan, a little surprised, opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"It's no secret that everyone in our family knows she likes you." Yi Dachuan smiled: "Her mother and I actually think that you are a good child, mature and stable, Eve Ken listens to you, if you can control her, then we will be even happier." ”

"Actually, I ......" Tao Xingzhi didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, I'm just saying this, of course, your own will is the most important, if you don't mean that to her, I don't have to force you." Yi Dachuan immediately said, the emotional matter is reluctant, he knows this.

Tao Xingzhi didn't know what to say, did he really have no feelings for Eve? Of course that's impossible, who wouldn't like such a lively and lovely little girl, perhaps because he had already clearly understood his heart.

He raised his head, looked at Yi Dachuan, and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this little girl." ”

Yi Dachuan looked at Tao Xingzhi in surprise and nodded.
