Chapter 210: Stone’s Sensible Behavior Is Heartbreaking
Luo Qiao turned her head to look at Lu Yichen, who cleared his throat and said, "I’ll take this police officer outside to guard the entrance."
After saying that, they called over the male officer and left the yard, walking to a place a bit farther away, vigilantly watching that stretch of road, fearing that some inattentive person might come by during this time.
The female police officer in the yard, seeing Luo Qiao’s several abrasions, was truly shocked. Luo Qiao’s skin was too tender; a slight bump could cause bruising, let alone under those circumstances.
The compassion the policewoman had held for Zhang Qiaoyan, still detained at the police station, vanished, and she thought to herself how fortunate it was that the girl had a strong will to live. If Luo Qiao had really fallen off the cliff or been hit or stepped on by an ox, the consequences didn’t bear thinking about.
After seeing off the two police officers, the distress in Lu Yichen’s eyes was clear to anyone, and only after calming his own emotions did he finally say, "Tonight, I’ll cook dinner. You’ll have to make do with it, and later, I’ll learn to cook from you."
At this moment, Lu Yichen especially regretted that he had never thought of learning to cook from Luo Qiao before. He used to say that one only realizes the importance of learning when it’s too late, but what about now? This was like regretting not learning to cook when it’s time to use the skill, ha!
Stone came rushing in energetically. Upon seeing Luo Qiao, he charged over, asking with a whimper in his voice, "Sister Luo Qiao, did you get hurt anywhere?"
Luo Qiao replied, "I’m fine. Where have you been? Why are you covered in sweat, and your clothes are so dirty?"
Only then did Stone look down at his own clothes and nervously said, "I’ll go wash them myself later. Sister Luo Qiao, I went to Wangjia Gully and saw Zhang Qiaoyan being taken away by the police. I was going to come back with the others from the village, but I heard Auntie Chun Ni and the secretary saying to stay there for a day or two before returning to the village, so I wanted to see what they were doing there?"
