2. Xue Chun Tea

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Am I not a newcomer? Does that mean I am just a passerby? Have you ever seen a passerby so kind as to help carry someone else's luggage? Huo Xing heavily threw Xue Chunchai's luggage back onto his lap, "Newcomer."

Congratulations on becoming a member of Department X. Jiang Tianran extended his hand to her

"Huh?" Huo Xing was instantly petrified, his mouth twitching incessantly, "What what what what what~~~~~"

Huo Xing's eyes immediately lit up, and she tightly grasped Jiang Tianran's hand, shaking it three times, "You really understand me! Hahahaha~~~~ You truly know me well! Hahahahaha~~~~~"

"Pure tea." Jiang Tian, sitting to her left, said very seriously, "Reading the newspaper at midnight is not good for the eyes"

"I have no love for a saintly figure." The slight interest that Huo Xing had just sparked was immediately extinguished. "Boss, shouldn't you clarify what we are rushing to do overnight? We were just tormented by Jiang Tianran all day today, without even a moment's rest, and now we are heading to some big Geda Mountain to dig in the Toudong area of Yuanyuan County. What kind of place is that? It's not even on the map. May I ask, Boss, are you going there to buy soy sauce or to do push-ups?"

Huo Xing nodded, then nodded again, as the train sped towards Puyuan County. Throughout the journey, she maintained a sporadic nodding motion, her body and mind both in a state of petrification

Hmm?" Xue Chunchai, who was reading the newspaper, folded it up. "Newcomer?"

Investigation of the uncertain nature of malicious events occurring at night. The Jiang Natural Interface, the X Department is affiliated with the Special Department of the Beijing Police Headquarters, specifically targeting malicious events of an uncertain nature nationwide, with both daytime and nighttime divisions.

Just as she finished changing her clothes in the dormitory, and before she had even stepped out the door, Jiang Tianran called as if he had timed it perfectly, saying he was about to leave for work and asked her to pack immediately—so, two hours later, she found herself inexplicably sitting here—and the most crucial part was that she still had not figured out what kind of job she had actually applied for.

I cannot see again, it's just that I cannot sleep

Naturally, this is where you went wrong. How could a new hire not know what Department X does..." Xue Chunchai stroked his chin, perhaps satisfied with the sharp curve of his own chin. "You have been hired in the Night Shift of Department X, which is specifically responsible for work during the night.

"Wait a moment, can you see?" Huo Xing was left speechless, "Can you really see in such darkness?"

Jiang Tianran nodded slightly, and Huo Xing found herself feeling quite ridiculous. She could see him nodding, yet she couldn't even make out his face. How could this person possibly read documents in complete darkness? "That... it's not good for your eyes to read documents without lights in the middle of the night..."

Little Orange Baby

The person lying on the sofa chair lifted his head. He has long, straight hair that casually drapes over his shoulders. The loose collar of his white shirt accentuates the sensual curve of his collarbone. His cheeks are slender, forming a rare and standard oval face. His skin is of excellent quality; although not as fair as Jiang Tianran's, the other kind of lustrous ivory white is quite charming, and his lip color is very pale

"What work is there in the evening?" Huo Xing chuckled dryly, "Are you perhaps the new era's madam?"

"Pure tea." The girl gently placed the tea she brought on the glass coffee table in front of the sofa chair, "New task."

The soft yellow light in the office creates a warm, home-like atmosphere. A girl enters the room holding a cup of tea. There is no desk in the room, only a large, soft armchair. Opposite the armchair, a huge LCD screen is embedded in the wall. Someone lying on the armchair is currently selecting a fruit fork. Should it be made of crystal? Shaped like fruit? Made of bamboo? Stainless steel? Or porcelain? Which fruit fork should be used to pierce the last tomato in the fruit platter? The LCD screen is playing "Bunny Prison Break," with excellent sound quality and top-notch screen clarity, all of which are exquisite items that the person lying on the sofa seems to have acquired from somewhere.

What is meant by a malignant event of uncertain nature? I am quite dull.

I rely on it! I truly have a remarkable ability to predict, indeed I am a lunatic

May I ask... the rigid body of Huo Xing, sitting between two men, finally moved slightly, "I... want to understand, what kind of job have I actually applied for?"

What are your thoughts on the events in Yuanyuan County?

I have fallen in love with this guy again, I have fallen in love with this guy again, I have fallen in love with this guy again, I have fallen in love with this guy again ... ...

What! Is Marilyn Monroe considered to be pure and innocent?

Several hours have passed again, and it is now midnight.

Little Orange Baby, smile a bit, don't be so serious ~ ~ ~ ~ You have always been very good to pure tea ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Don't turn against me ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ " The person on the sofa said in a soft and sweet tone, "The power in the office is overwhelming, I can't take it anymore ~ ~ ~ "

He is the head of the night office in Department X, which makes him your superior as well as mine. Jiang Tianran said gently, "I am responsible for the document work, and you are in charge of field duties."

I have so many girlfriends that I can't even recognize them myself. Brother, do you want one? Let me introduce a few to you based on what you like.

Women who commit suicide are all pure-hearted... virtuous and gentle like Qingzi, elegant and noble like Audrey Hepburn, eternally youthful like Zhao Yazhi

Sitting to her left was Jiang Tianran, who was still dressed in pure white, with a gentle expression and an exceptionally innocent gaze. To her right sat a tall man wearing a baseball cap and a white shirt, with long hair, revealing only his pointed chin and oval face, making it impossible for her to discern his features. Due to the hurried purchase of train tickets, they had no sleeper berths, and the three of them could only squeeze together, heading towards an unknown destination in the long, dark night

Which Qingzi?" Huo Xing greatly appreciated the statement, "Women who commit suicide are all pure-hearted." This man, who reads the newspaper in the middle of the night, is somewhat thoughtful, but his delusions about this dreamlike beauty are rather excessive. He imagines someone in their fifties still possessing the charm of Marilyn Monroe, the features of Audrey Hepburn, standing at about 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a Japanese kimono... That image is simply too amusing. But his delusions about this dreamlike beauty are rather excessive.

That image is simply too amusing.

Fieldwork involves tasks such as driving, cleaning, accommodation, reconnaissance, security, infiltration, and so on. Jiang Tianran's eyes curved slightly, resembling a smile, and said, "It is precisely the kind of training I am providing you with."

What the hell! Even if you have ignored me since this afternoon, does my voice now sound like a man's? Is there any man who refers to himself as 'old lady'? Since this afternoon, Huo Xing's face, which has been made increasingly dark by Jiang Tianran, has turned even darker, "It's a man."

The investigation yielded no results, but two families living by the Wenchuan Lake have gone missing, as well as two middle school students who went hiking in the mountains. Jiang Tianran continued, "The matter has been reported to Department X, which is why we rushed to Puyuan County overnight"

Three minutes and ten seconds! Jiang Tianran pressed the stopwatch, and the completely purple-black face of Huo Xing finally came to a stop. She opened her white, bared teeth, sticking out her bright red tongue. Just one more step and she would have lunged at Jiang Tianran to bite his throat. Especially with her body covered in mud, her clothes torn with no less than thirty to fifty holes, countless abrasions, while this coach in front of her remained pristine and innocent-looking.

two hours later

Jiang Tiantian widened his eyes and said, "You are not a serf; your salary has already been paid. You can check the accounts when you go home tonight."

Akagi Haruko! Xue Chunchai opened the newspaper again, "The Virgin Mary in the Eyes of Men."

"Xue Chunchai, those who receive high salaries using taxpayers' money have no right to say such things." The girl in the orange skirt frowned, "I hereby issue a formal order in the name of the office. Regarding the Puruan County water monster incident, the trio from Night Room will set out tonight. Do not return without finding the missing villagers."

I do not know, for I am not an immortal

Just as the two people smiled at each other, the bell in the office area rang. Huo Xing did not understand why the peculiar head of Department X played the piano version of "Going Home" during the meeting. Although it was not the song itself, but rather the piano piece, upon hearing "Going home ~ ~ Going home ~ ~ ~ I needーーyouーー," did no one here feel a chill?

"I am not joking." Jiang Tianran opened a folder and took out a stack of documents. "Since two months ago, Puyuan County has been troubled by reports of a water monster. It is said that two households living by Wenshan Lake have been continuously calling the police, claiming to have seen unidentified objects in the lake. The police and the fisheries department have investigated several times, but there have been no results..." He looked at the documents in the darkness, his tone very calm.

"Ah, a newcomer..." Xue Chunchai stroked his chin, "Oh dear, I haven't really taken a good look... Is it a man or a woman?"

Huo Xing sat on the train heading to the mountains, holding a package of luggage and carrying two other bags, her face darkened... The distance from the warm bed, clean bedding, five-star lighting, coffee, and the life of taking a bath that she had imagined for tonight—both psychologically and geographically—was too far away

With your presence, it can certainly be resolved

"You belong to the external personnel of Department X," Jiang Tianran said seriously, "but you must also keep it a secret; the salary you receive and the risks you undertake are no different from ours"

"New task?" The man, known as Pure Tea, placed the fruit platter down with a sense of disinterest. "What new task?" As he set the fruit platter down, one of the bamboo charcoal slippers that had been on his foot fell to the ground with a thud, fully displaying the owner's dissatisfaction, a dissatisfaction compounded by further dissatisfaction.

It is simply uncertain whether the event can be classified as a case, and it is unclear whether it is man-made; however, it has undoubtedly had a very negative impact. In other words, it is the X file

"Go right away." Xiao Ju placed the materials on the table and couldn't help but glance at the grinning man a few more times. He still didn't notice that she was referring to the 'Nighttime Trio.' She had to admit that hearing him call her 'Xiao Ju, darling' made her quite happy. She had promised herself not to fall in love with this guy again, yet she found herself loving him a little more. With a sullen expression, she turned around as if she were dead and walked slowly toward her office.

"Very good, you are very understanding, gentle, and considerate, and you will have a great appeal to women in the future." Huo Xing immediately dashed away towards the dormitory area, where the only good thing to mention is that... the dormitory conditions are as good as a five-star hotel...

Hahaha, Xue Chunchai patted her shoulder, "So, what you do is similar to the work of 007, isn't it cool?"

"What? Police Department? Are you police officers? Then what am I?" Huo Xing immediately shrank his neck, "Are you kidding me? I just want to be a high-paying white-collar worker, and I don't want to become a guardian of the Earth overnight."

She muttered to herself, thinking in a dull and gloomy manner... In my next life, I will definitely be a rooster...

Why is it necessary to set out at night to work despite the presence of a water monster? Shouldn't it be more logical to seek out journalists, UFO experts, scientists, or fishermen instead...

What is meant by external work

Oh heavens, just drop a stone on me to knock me out! ... When I wake up, tell me that this was all just a dream

"There is a water monster." The girl gently pushed the tea in front of him; this cup of tea was Dongding Oolong with plum, containing three ice cubes and a spoonful of honey. "Puyuan County reported that there is a water monster in the Wenchan Lake at the back mountain, and several villagers by the lake have gone missing. The local police have investigated, but there are no clues."

"Huh?" Huo Xing curled up in his seat, "X Files? X Files... Are you kidding me? Jiang Tianran, don't joke around, my heart is very fragile"

Jiang Tianran, I truly underestimated you, underestimated you, underestimated you!

Xue Chunchai finally sat up from the sofa, brushed her long, disheveled hair, and began to look through the scattered documents on the table

Huo Xing looked at him weakly, barely extending her blood-stained claw, and shook hands with Jiang Tianran. Seeing him genuinely smiling so happily, she weakly said, "Damn! Don't you think you are a national leader meeting with a representative of us peasants..."

Oh! Very good, very few young people can endure this hardship like nature does, very good indeed. " Xue Chunchai patted her shoulder, "Do you have a girlfriend or not?"

"Young people are very confident, which is great." Xue Chunchai turned a page of the newspaper, "Had I known there would be such a task today, I shouldn't have had coffee."

Huo Xing reluctantly accepted his leap from "the bodyguard of a mentally unstable young master" to "an external investigator of Case X," pointing at Xue Chunchai, "So who is this... boss?"

With a soft "kola" sound, a girl in an orange short skirt pushed open the door of an office, bringing in materials along with a cup of tea. The lighting in the office was neither too bright nor too dim; it was a gentle yellow. This was because the room was equipped not with incandescent bulbs, but with energy-efficient and intelligent light bulbs that could automatically adjust the light source according to the indoor and outdoor lighting conditions. Such light bulbs were not available on the market; they were sourced online by the owner of this office from an unknown place, and surprisingly, they were quite inexpensive.

The meeting is starting. Jiang Tianran, accompanied by the somewhat disheveled Huo Xing, walked towards the office area when he suddenly exclaimed, "You should go back to the dormitory and change your clothes first. I will tell you the details of the meeting later."

The man sitting to her right shifted his position, opened the newspaper, and although the train had turned off the lights, he appeared to be reading with great enthusiasm as if he could see. Huo Xing rolled her eyes at the sky, realizing that there was indeed not a single normal person in this so-called "X Department." Was it really cool to read a newspaper in the dark at midnight? Could it be that she had applied for the position of a personal bodyguard to a mentally unstable young master?

She not only leaped from being the bodyguard of the "mentally unstable young master" to an "off-the-books investigator for Case X," but also directly ascended to become the "female version of 007"

Is there someone who is 1.7 meters tall, with skin whiter than natural, and pure like Marilyn Monroe

Overall, the person lying on the sofa chair resembles a model more than an office worker. There is a star-shaped scar on his left earlobe, which looks like he is wearing a pink earring, adding to his fashionable aura. There is also a star-shaped scar behind his left ear, which is not very noticeable as it is covered by his long hair that hangs down.
