Chapter 138 - 88: Night Talk
Su Fu saw that she had no intention of saying more, so he did not ask further.
"Will the autopsy I’m performing tonight get me into trouble?" Ran Yan wasn’t sure. Her affairs had been spreading wildly in Suzhou recently. Although there were no rumors about her autopsy skills, it was easy for people to make the connection. If the other party were ordinary people, she might not be too concerned, but seeing the stance of those people, she knew they were not ones to be trifled with easily.
Su Fu said indifferently, "As long as you don’t leave any handle in his hands, he won’t do anything to you."
Ran Yan looked deeply at Su Fu, wondering if he had any handle that had fallen into that person’s hands.
Ran Yan’s questions were all very measured – they seemed sharp, but in reality, they did not probe too deeply, hence Su Fu did not feel much aversion.
The chicken was roasted, and the two sat silently opposite each other, each using a dagger to cut the meat. Ran Yan, with an obsession akin to a compulsion, when presented with a "body," would subconsciously ponder how to separate the bones most perfectly with the smallest incisions made.
This was not the habit of all forensic doctors, but when a body came into Ran Yan’s hands, under the premise of thorough dissection, she would try her best to preserve the body in the cleanest and most complete state.
Su Fu seemed to eat earnestly, but he was actually paying attention to Ran Yan’s movements. However, since he was not a gossip, even if he had doubts, he would not ask further.
After they finished their late-night snack quietly, Su Fu got up to take Ran Yan back.
Without his full gear, he was like any ordinary handsome young man, eyes downcast, quietly walking by her side, carrying her tool kit. The moonlight deepened his features, making them alluring and irresistible. Ran Yan’s gaze lingered on him, regretting in her heart that she could not appreciate his body.
