Chapter 140 Entangled in a Swallow
With the help of his apprentice, all the breakfasts were quickly served.
Lin Tian looked at Zhou Xun, who was slumped over the table, and frowned with worry. Just as he was about to reach out and tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, Zhou Xun sensed something was wrong and sharply raised her eyelids.
When their eyes met, Zhou Xun lowered her gaze, rubbed her eyes, and wearily lifted her eyelids to look directly at Lin Tian in front of her.
"Why are you here? Or did you not understand what I said yesterday?"
"Didn't I tell you? I have no such plans. If you're so determined to get me to go for the interview, then don't think too much about it."
Looking into Zhou Xun's eyes, Lin Tian could sense the deep-seated aloofness in this woman.
She must be very resistant to this.
But he...
Lin Tian said, "You've worked hard. I'm here to bring you breakfast... Officer Zhou, you may not know, but I'm not one to give up easily! Since I want you to go on a blind date, I'll definitely make you agree to it! And I don't require you to accept the person after the blind date. You just need to cooperate with me once. I promise that after you cooperate, I will never bother you again."
"No."
Zhou Xun frowned, got up slightly annoyed, and without even seeing the breakfast Lin Tian took out from his pocket, turned around and headed towards the tea room.
Lin Tian had just taken out breakfast when he saw Zhou Xun's actions.
He frowned and quickly caught up with him.
"Officer Zhou, slow down!"
"I told you I wouldn't agree to that, so you'd better leave now and don't piss me off! If you do, don't blame me if you lose face."
Zhou Xun focused intently on picking up the coffee powder and starting to brew it.
Lin Tian stayed close to her side.
The group of people not far away were eating the breakfast that Lin Tian had brought. They looked at each other and chuckled in hushed tones, "This is the first time in a long time that I've seen someone who genuinely wants to pursue Director Zhou. I just don't know if his attitude is right."
The young apprentice shrugged, munching on a meat bun dripping with gravy, his mouth glistening with oil, and said, "I don't care about all that. We don't usually get to eat this much delicious breakfast. We're really eating well with Director Zhou now."
You glutton!
A group of people were making fun of each other.
But when they looked at Lin Tian, their gazes carried an inexplicable blessing.
What they didn't know was that Lin Tian approached Zhou Xun only to arrange a blind date for her.
Whether the person he was on the blind date with is still unknown.
Moreover, Lin Tian's current identity is not just that simple. He can be a blind date or a matchmaker. Now, he doesn't need to commit such sins.
Suddenly, a furious curse came from afar.
"I told you, I won't accept your demands!"
The next second, Zhou Xun called out her little apprentice's name, and he immediately put down the meat bun in his hand, wiped the grease off his lips, and then ran towards Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun said, "This person isn't one of our staff. Since he kindly brought breakfast and now that he's finished with his business, let him go. If he dares to come in again, all of you just pretend to ignore him. Don't blame me for punishing you."
Zhou Xun's words were also addressed to the group of people watching the show from a distance.
They looked at each other and laughed awkwardly.
Under pressure from his master, the young apprentice had no choice but to send Lin Tian away.
He said, "Mr. Lin, thank you very much for breakfast today, but since my master has already made his point, please don't come again next time, otherwise it will put us all in a difficult position!"
Zhou Xun is indeed difficult to deal with.
Lin Tian rubbed his forehead, glanced around the police station, and smiled as he gently patted his apprentice's shoulder.
“Since it’s something I want to do, I can’t give up. But I was indeed presumptuous today. You go in and get busy. I’ll still bring breakfast tomorrow. I’ll have to trouble you to show me the way.”
Lin Tian gently patted his little apprentice's hand, his gentle and gentlemanly demeanor certainly making him very likable.
The young apprentice nodded.
But he had only taken a couple of steps inside when he came out again, looking troubled.
He stuffed a wad of banknotes he had prepared into Lin Tian's arms, his voice hesitant.
"The driver just told me not to bring breakfast tomorrow or anytime soon. This is the cost of this breakfast; if there's any extra, consider it a delivery fee."
"Mr. Lin, I've said what my master said. We all have to listen to him, so please don't come again next time!"
The young apprentice bowed deeply, then turned and quickly left.
Lin Tian felt awkward.
Helplessly turning his head to rack his brains for other solutions, he was suddenly stopped by a bright voice.
The young apprentice immediately turned his head and looked over, his face beaming with a bright smile, "Xiao Jie!"
"Sister Miaomiao, what brings you here?"
The young apprentice had barely left when he turned back with a bright smile on his face.
"I'm here to deliver soup to Zhou Xun, and I just happen to be passing by."
Sister Miao Miao?
Lin Tian's gaze fell on a girl in the distance who was about the same age as him and Zhou Xun. She glanced at Lin Tian as she passed by, and then headed towards the police station.
Lin Tian remained calm.
Younger sister? Older sister? Or best friend?
However, since the young apprentice already calls this girl "Sister Miao Miao," it's unlikely she's his younger sister.
Lin Tian suddenly had an idea, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
When the woman returned, her apprentice escorted her to the police station entrance. The woman made numerous excuses, but the apprentice eventually turned and went into the room.
Seeing the situation, Lin Tian jogged after them.
"Miss!"
The woman turned her head in confusion, and when she saw a handsome face appear before her, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him curiously.
"you are?"
Lin Tian rolled his eyes and recounted everything he knew about Zhou Xun, then labeled himself as her suitor.
I originally thought the other party would be very resistant.
Unexpectedly, the girl immediately grabbed Lin Tian's hand, blinked her eyes, and said, "Are you really Zhou Xun's suitor? That's great! I thought that guy wouldn't have any suitors!"
"Did you come all this way to me because there's something urgent you need my help with? I'll do anything I can to help you."
Lin Tian's tense heart immediately relaxed.
He smirked, took out his keys, waved them at the woman, and pointed to the parking lot next door.
"I just happened to have a car, how about I give you a ride? Let's set off together, okay?"
"Are you... available?"
"Of course it's convenient! Miss Zhou is hard to approach, but I've thought of a way to win her heart... I saw you came all this way to bring her soup, so she must be a foodie, right?"
The woman gave a thumbs-up and praised her.
"You're amazing! It's true, our Zhou Xun is a real foodie. Since you're really interested in getting to know her, come with me."
