"Is the Special Investigation Team really allowing Xu Lie to play on her phone and browse the news here? This is not what she expected."
In the past, Lu Youyou might have been confused, but after three days of interning with the Special Investigation Team, she had learned some basic knowledge.
Xu Lie raised an eyebrow. Ha, this silly girl is not as easily fooled as before. He certainly couldn't tell Lu Youyou that he had seen it on Danmaku.
There were still other excuses: "Did you forget? I was interviewed by a reporter, and they told me."
Lu Youyou didn't think much of it; she had personally witnessed Xu Lie being surrounded by a group of reporters when he arrived at the courthouse. She couldn't even get close enough to talk to him.
Even when Xu Lie left with the Special Investigation Team, he was still surrounded by reporters, but at that time, they were interviewing Test Tube Technology.
Still unable to approach Xu Lie for a conversation, Lu Youyou felt frustrated and decided to head straight to the Special Investigation Team: "So that's how it is."
"Actually, I didn't do much. Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling helped me."
"I didn't expect so many classmates to share your thoughts and strongly oppose Gene Matching. If it weren't for that, everyone wouldn't have signed together."
Her modesty indicated that she hadn’t put in much effort, and Lu Youyou's pretty face was filled with joy.
This reassured Xu Lie; thankfully, although she wasn't as easily deceived as before, this silly girl hadn't become much smarter either.
At most, he could trick her with a lollipop before; now it took a whole meal to do the same.
"By the way," Xu Lie said, poking the floor with his finger. "This is the Special Investigation Team; how did you get over here?"
"Hehe, speaking of that," Lu Youyou became more energetic. "I came to fulfill my promise. Didn't we agree on this?"
"In the future, I won't let you eat alone; I want to eat with you."
"And remember? I told you that the food here at the Special Investigation Team is really good! I'll recommend two great dishes!"
Xu Lie's heart skipped a beat; it had been beating normally but now felt like it jumped up and landed smoothly.
Just a moment ago, Xu Lie's heartbeat was abnormal, as if it had leaped into mid-air and paused for a while before slowly coming back down.
Gazing at Lu Youyou's beaming face, Xu Lie initially wanted to ask how she gained approval to enter the Special Investigation Team.
However, in front of Lu Youyou's smiling face, such questions seemed trivial: "Really? After hearing so much from you before, I thought you were lying."
"I just didn't want others to worry about you, which is why I said the food at the Special Investigation Team is good."
"I would never lie!" Lu Youyou exclaimed, lightly punching Xu Lie's arm.
The atmosphere between them felt reminiscent of that night when they made their promise.
The scene was particularly thrilling for the audience.
"I told you! This drama is a youth romance! My friend refused to believe it, but look at this scene—who would still dare to call it a mystery drama?"
"Alright, alright, you've made your point about it being a youth romance."
"I used to really dislike how every show adds a romantic element, but this one does it well. Lu Youyou isn't just a distraction; she actually drives Xue Lianming's storyline forward. I could give it full marks!"
"Wow! Youyou, I'm in tears; it's so sweet of you to remember your promise to have dinner with Xu Lie and actually follow through with it at the Special Investigation Team!"
Even though Xu Lie had already eaten once before and still felt a bit full, seeing the cheerful Lu Youyou somehow reignited his appetite. In the end, he nearly overindulged before watching Lu Youyou leave.
Everyone was aware of the outcome of Xu Lie's case, but since it was still pending final review, just being able to see him was already quite fortunate. The Special Investigation Team wouldn't allow Lu Youyou to stay and accompany him indefinitely.
