"Are you hungry?"
As Ethan Jiang looked at Tina Shen, his gaze softened unconsciously.
"Hungry."
Tina Shen blinked her bright eyes, looking pitiful as she nodded obediently.
"How about ordering takeout?"
Ethan Jiang's usually stern face lost its coldness, and for the first time, a rare tenderness appeared.
"Order takeout..." Tina Shen's expression became a little odd.
She remembered an interesting story from her past life during her time at the police academy.
One summer, a senior, after returning to school, was stopped by a fashionable middle-aged man just outside the train station.
The man asked, "Hey, want to go somewhere for some good food?"
The senior hesitated for a moment but decided to follow him.
That day, the senior discovered the man had taken her to a famous local restaurant, opening the door to a whole new world of delicious food...
Soon, various mouth-watering takeout dishes were delivered to the fitness center.
Tina Shen immediately turned into a "food monster" and began devouring everything in sight. She was well aware that this was no ordinary takeout—it was most likely from some high-end restaurant.
"Slow down."
Watching Tina Shen eat so quickly, Ethan Jiang lightly scolded her, "Aren't you afraid of choking?"
"You sound just like my mom!"
This wasn't a joke; it was an honest complaint from Tina Shen. Eating quickly had become a habit from her previous life. Sometimes, when cases were urgent, she had no time to even sit down and eat. When she was on duty, she'd grab a bite wherever she could. The meals were often paid out of her own pocket unless it was for a special work-related trip, in which case, they might reimburse her.
"Haha!" Ethan Jiang couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, he was stunned. It seemed that he had smiled more in the last few hours with this little girl than he had in the entire past month!
While eating, Tina Shen couldn't help but sneak glances at Ethan Jiang. She just couldn't help it—his figure in that gym attire was too eye-catching. She even imagined him in a casual suit, white shirt, striding confidently at a business event—he'd definitely be a "workplace elite!"
Although they'd only known each other for less than a day, Tina Shen knew that this aloof man would never step into such a place.
After finishing their meal, the two left the fitness center and headed to Ethan Jiang's villa.
Tina Shen took a shower and changed into the clothes Ethan Jiang had bought for her the day before. Instantly, she transformed into a youthful and sweet-looking girl.
"Do you remember what I taught you?"
Once they sat down on the sofa in the living room, Ethan Jiang asked, still not entirely at ease.
"Of course, I'm not stupid."
Tina Shen nodded, "We've only been together for a week."
"How did we meet?" Ethan Jiang asked further.
"One time, you were at a restaurant, and your wallet was stolen. I happened to be there and caught the thief. You were so impressed by my heroic figure that you were drawn to me." Tina Shen teased playfully.
"Do you believe I'll deal with you?" Ethan Jiang pretended to be angry.
"Alright, fine. I was attracted by your handsome looks and took the initiative to chase you." Tina Shen pouted. "Men!"
"Mm."
Ethan Jiang nodded, clearly satisfied. "What if they ask about your family?"
"I'll tell them the truth."
Tina Shen shrugged, "Would they care about wealth?"
"Not at all."
Ethan Jiang shook his head, "When my dad met my mom, he was just a poor guy starting his business. But my mom... She ignored her family's objections and resolutely followed him."
"Wow, uncle and aunt have a real-life love story!"
Tina Shen exclaimed, "I noticed they have similar personalities to my parents. When my mom married my dad, her family also opposed it, not wanting her to marry so far away. But in the end, she came to B City and married my dad."
"Huh?"
Ethan Jiang was stunned, "My mom too!"
The two of them stared at each other, their faces full of shock. No way... could it be this coincidental?
"By the way."
Tina Shen asked, "When they arrive, what should we...?"
"At most..."
Ethan Jiang blushed, gritted his teeth, and said, "We can only hold hands!"
"Oh."
Tina Shen gave a nonchalant response. It's not the first time I've been a human, and I don't suffer anyway. They weren't really a couple, and even though she had crossed over, her values from her previous life were still rock solid.
In the next moment.
Tina Shen reached out and took Ethan Jiang's broad hand.
"You..." Ethan Jiang was both surprised and angry, about to speak.
"Don't move, someone is secretly watching us outside."
"Huh?!"
Ethan Jiang's heart skipped a beat.
It had to be his mother. This was exactly the kind of thing he would do. Was she already suspecting?
Thinking of this, Ethan Jiang didn't hesitate for a second. He stretched his long arms and pulled Tina Shen into his embrace. Tina Shen's light body settled into Ethan Jiang's warm arms, like a feather, perfectly fitting.
"I suddenly have a feeling."
Tina Shen leaned against Ethan Jiang's solid chest, her voice carrying a trace of amusement.
"What feeling?" Ethan Jiang lowered his head slightly, his warm breath brushing past Tina Shen's ear.
"We look like underground workers meeting under the enemy's nose."
Tina Shen looked up at Ethan Jiang's chiseled chin, "Don't you think so?"
"Haha!"
Ethan Jiang relaxed his tense body and looked down at the smiling Tina Shen in his arms. He couldn't help but laugh, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Then, both of them froze.
Why did it feel so natural? Why... was it so easy to act like a couple?
