Prequel 09 Red Face and White Hair (2)  

But who can tell her that there is only one deck of cards in total, how could this man bomb and double buckle? After changing the banker, he still buried a full 80 points in his whole cards! Too ruthless! How many points did she lose to him? She can't figure it out anymore.
The only thing she had learned in hindsight was that he was the emperor of mathematics, and he was definitely a leverage in counting cards. Why did she forget it! This is all right, she was slaughtered by him in one round!
“Su Mian, come here." He suddenly said. With short black hair, those eyes are as bright as stars.
Su Mian looked at him with a guilty conscience and stayed still.
He laughed slightly: "Sit here a little bit, or how to cash the bet? I won't eat you again."
"Oh..." Su Mian moved over slowly, but listened to him as if talking to himself: "At least not eating now."
"I want to be beautiful!" Su Mian stretched out her hand to pinch his handsome face and pulled it to both sides. 
He laughed in a low voice, rolled over and pressed her on the carpet.
"Hey, didn't I kiss you?" She protested vaguely.
"You are too slow." He clasped her hands, and the kiss fell like raindrops. "I'm not patient and can't wait."
...
At that time, he was as arrogant as him, how could he know that his patience could be so good later.
When you really want to wait for someone, you can't afford to wait.
I'm afraid I can't wait.
This bet has been fulfilled for more than an hour. She was in his arms and her face was crimson and disheveled. And he was extremely dissatisfied with his vitality. But the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and did not go further.
In the end, the tumbling blood and passion finally subsided. 
She leaned in his arms, and the two sat on the ground, chatting and watching TV one after another.
At some point, she fell asleep.
Han Chen was still playing with her fingers, but when he lowered his head, he found that Su Mian stretched her eyebrows and leaned on his shoulder, breathing evenly like a child. The blue silk was scattered in his arms wantonly.
Han Chen's heart suddenly softened to a mess.
He carefully lifted her up sideways and put her on the bed. He took off her shoes and covered her with quilt again, and stood by the bed for a while, then reached out and touched her face, then bowed his head and kissed her.
In the long night, she slept decisively, but he was not sleepy anymore. Just looking at the girl in his heart like this, a small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He got up and walked around the house boredly. Finally pushed the door out, lit a cigarette, and leaned in the corridor. Looking up, he saw the sky above the canyon, full of stars, bright as a dream.
——
Spring goes to winter.
On a sunny winter day, Su Mian made a special trip to the school for a day off, and she was shopping alone.
Soon, she found what she wanted.
A very beautiful and soft scarf for men.
Although Han Chen is very resistant to freezing, he almost never wears a scarf. But Su Mian thought he must be very handsome with a scarf. And every time she see him standing in the cold wind with his bare beautiful neck, it hurts a little bit.
What's more, today is the first anniversary of their love. There is no better gift than this.
Standing under the bright lights of the mall, Su Mian paid the bill while waiting for the salesman to pack. Of course she deliberately dressed up today, and lambskin boots were spotted on the marble floor.
"Miss, what floor is Lin Wan Bookstore on?" someone asked next to her, his voice low and gentle.
Su Mian looked up and saw a pair of dark and slender eyes. The visitor wore an extremely elegant black coat and sweater, with neat short hair, and even the hands hanging on his side and his nails were neatly trimmed. The handsome and elegant young man smiled politely at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
But Su Mian saw more than just this.
There are so many people in the mall and she stood in front of the counter deep down. If he wants to ask for directions, the salesman next to her is more suitable than her.
Therefore, this person deliberately struck up a conversation.
Su Mian smiled: "On the fifth floor, take the elevator from the front and turn right to get to it."
She had a calm tone, smiled politely after speaking, then turned her head and ignored him.
The man seemed to hesitate for a while, and he didn't conceal that his drunkard was not drinking.
"Oh, yes. My name is Mu Fangcheng." He reached out his hand to her, "Can you take me there?”
Although this man looks very well-educated, he is not like a gangster. Su Mian didn't look at him either, and took the bag from the salesman, and replied faintly: "No." She turned and left.
Leaving the man alone standing in place. In the salesman’s curious gaze, he kept looking at her back, and finally smiled and left.
In the eyes of the salesman, this was just a gossip story about a golden man who wanted to pursue a beautiful girl but hit a wall; in Su Mian's mind, this was just an insignificant episode.
They didn't know that this day was actually the beginning of a huge and dark plan.
After the man left the commercial building, he got into a car. After driving for a while, he got somewhere.
In this place, many of his companions gathered.
At that time, the group of seven was not called the group of seven, and the core group of S was more than seven people. And this man is one of them. His marked crime was sexual asphyxiation and murder.
"M!" R and A walked over and asked him, "how is things going?"
Mu Fangcheng smiled and looked up at S not far away. He was sitting in front of the bar, his shirt collar unbuttoned casually, his white jade-like cheeks were lightly red, and he was drinking thick absinthe.
"Everything is going smoothly according to S’plan." M replied, "please enter the urn, step by step."
R was silent, A smiled. But this laugh didn't taste much joy. They both looked up at the same time and looked at S. And in their heart, the same thought is—
That's it.
She should be completely plundered.
If S has someone he wants, how can this person not belong to him?
——
After leaving the mall with an anniversary gift, Su Mian arrived at the police station soon. But Han Chen is very busy with work recently, and she doesn’t have the will to bother him. So she found a cafe next to the police station and tried to call him.
Shut down.
Another text message was sent: "What are you doing? I finished contacting you. Nothing, I miss you."
no reply.
In fact, he has been like this many times over the past year in love. Su Mian got used to it too. After waiting a few times, she lost her temper. So she ordered a cup of coffee, put on a soft scarf, and waited patiently.
She waited from dawn to dark, and from the cafe filled with people until closing.
After eleven o'clock in the evening, she walked out of the cafe, wrapped her coat tightly, and walked alone on the cold street. After wandering for a long time,she was almost frozen into a pillar of ice, and finally his call came.
“Su Mian, I just finished the task and returned to the bureau. Something’s up?” His voice sounded a little dumb, but it was gentle enough to make Su Mian feel...warm for no reason.
"Han Chen, I'm outside your police station..." she said aggrievedly.
How could Han Chen be willing to be such a baby? A few minutes later, Han Chen, who was actually still in the meeting, ran out halfway through. There were still people coming in and out at the door, and he didn't care about it, and directly took her cold form into his arms.
"It's freezing to death..." she whispered.
Han Chen unzipped his jacket and wrapped her in. He hugged her and walked toward the dormitory while blowing to her hand. If those brothers see Young Master Han being so considerate to women, they will be surprised.
"Why did you come here without saying hello?" he asked, "a woman who is foolishly freezing outside."
" I want to give you a surprise..." Su Mian whispered.
Han Chen slowly laughed.
The life of a criminal policeman is dangerous, exciting, and exhausting. This kind of midnight, after just arresting a vicious criminal, sitting in his office, he really feels empty.
But when she came, it was different when he saw her.
She nestled in his arms so fresh, delicate and warm. And the night that was originally empty, instantly became happy.
When the two entered the house, Han Chen directly locked the door neatly and closed the curtains so as not to disturb other people in the dormitory. Then she took her hand and sat down by the bed: "Why do you want to surprise me?"
Su Mian almost died of anger: "Han Chen, what day is today?!"
Han Chen is really busy these days, forgetting the days. But as soon as she reminded him, his mind was good, and he immediately remembered, and his heart suddenly shook.
Seeing him apologizing, Su Mian was not really angry, so she took out the scarf: "Here is your present."
Han Chen took it in his hand and looked at it, wrapped it around his neck in twos, and said, "I will wear it every day from now on."
Su Mian smiled: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good. I have never seen such a beautiful scarf."
"Fuck you!" Su Mian was finally satisfied, Han Chen had bowed his head and hugged her, asking for a kiss gently and warmly.
"Wait!" Su Mian stopped him, wanting to be fooled?
"Where is my gift?" She stretched out her hand.
Han Chen was really unprepared, and knew that she was deliberately making things difficult. He smiled and bit her hand directly: "It seems that I can only agree with my body today."
"Go!" Su Mian pushed him away, but was grabbed back under him. The two of them chuckled and grinned again.
In fact, the two have been together for so long, only the last step of the defense has not been broken. Han Chen, even though he hasn't done anything to her, he mentioned it several times, intentionally or unintentionally. And this flirting always makes Su Mian embarrassed and nervous.
"Since there is no present, then in the next few months, you will spend more time with me." She softly protested in his arms.
Han Chen let her lie on his shoulders, but this request made him difficult.
"What? Are you busy again?" She noticed his silence and looked up at him.
He replied with a "huh": "There have been several serial homicides recently, most likely by the same criminal gang. The task force is about to be set up above, and I may be one of the criminal police officers of the task force. If you enter the case team,you may have to interrupt contact with the outside world for a few months, and cannot see each other.”
Su Mian was disappointed. They couldn't see each other for a few months.
The two were silent for a while, and she first spoke: "Then I will wait for you."
Han Chen stared at her with low eyes.
"What can I do?" She sighed, but there was a bright smile he was familiar with, between her eyebrows, "Han Chen, when you finish these months, I will just graduate. If you missed my graduation ceremony  at all, see if I won't hit you! I won't apply for your branch job."
Han Chen took her hand and kissed it to his lips: "How could I miss it? When you graduate, I..."
Su Mian's heart was pounding, sweet and tangled like wild grass.
"What are you saying?” She squinted at him, her eyes full of smiles.

He did not smile. The dark eyes stared at her for an instant, but in his voice, he carried his usual hooligan energy: "I have been working hard for a year. When you graduate, you should truly become my woman. Leave everything to me."
