Bai Muchuan brushed aside some of Xiang Wan’s fringe which was covering her forehead. He then tucked it behind her ear and kissed her on the forehead.
“I’m not as good as you think I am. You’re also not that bad that you thought you are. The me and you now is actually well-matched!”
“Are you joking around with me?”
“Nope.”
“Really?”
“As truthful as it can be!”
“
”
Xiang Wan’s eyes felt warm.
She felt that this must be the most touching words for a lover to say to her.
Nothing made her feel more comfortable and at ease than this assurance from him.
“Your attitude is really sincere. I believe you.” Xiang Wan turned her head to take a glance at Bai Muchuan before looking at the direction of Wen Xin Nunnery. “Is the Bodhisattva still intact in the Nunnery?”
“
 The explosion knocked it down.”
“
”
She had thought the Bodhisattva could be their witness to their love like what she read in some romance fictions. She thought it felt romantic

Alas

Xiang Wan felt like laughing.
Bai Muchuan suddenly said, “We got it back up again!”
“
”
This was certainly unexpected to Xiang Wan.
She turned her head and looked at Bai Muchuan. “I didn’t expect that, you actually
”
“My actions for doing that has nothing to do with feudal superstition,” He explained, “after all, this is what the people here believed in. Most people here are old and may not have much to do in their free time. It’s actually good for them to come and pray; at least they have something to look forward to
”
Xiang Wan chuckled. “Your words always make sense!”
Bai Muchuan smiled as he pinched her nose. “Of course!”
“What you’ve said earlier,” Xiang Wan turned her head, “I’ll consider it!”
“I’m just offering a suggestion,” said Bai Muchuan, “you’re the one who will decide.”
A while later, he suddenly looked at her deeply. “If this is something that troubled you, I hope you’ll face it head-on and not avoid it
”
Xiang Wan sighed. “
”
A few seconds later, she said, “Let’s go, the winds here are really strong. It’s cold!”
Bai Muchuan agreed and looked at her seriously. “Shall we take a picture together?”
Eh? A picture together. Xiang Wan stood glued to the spot for an instant.
“We have not taken a picture together, right?”
Yes! They had not taken a picture
 together.
Xiang Wan had never seen Bai Muchuan took pictures as well.
“I never knew that you like to take pictures?” she asked.
“No, I don’t. Well, it really depends on who I’m with
 Today, I want to leave some memories here with you!”
Bai Muchuan fished for his mobile phone. The sunlight refracted from the ends of his hair fell on his face; his already well-defined features seemed even more exquisite
 His five o’clock stubble made him seem manlier than usual.
He was like a man who came straight out of an idol drama.
With looks like his, it would be a pity if he didn’t take any pictures.
Especially

Here in Wen Xin Mountain.
Where Wen Xin Nunnery once stood.
And where Wen Xin Town was located at the foot of the mountain.
In this place, they experienced many first times in their life

“I agree, we should take a picture together!”
Xiang Wan walked around to get a good angle and sighed regretfully.
“It’s a pity we don’t have a selfie-stick with us
 the picture might not look as good
”
She raised her arms; she wanted to shoot the winds and snow

The winds blew against her long, wavy black hair, and her long ethnic dress fluttered in the wind

“Click.”
Bai Muchuan lifted the camera.
He took a picture.
“Aiya!” Xiang Wan tried to tidy her hair as she laughed. “I’m not even ready
”
“It turned out good!” Bai Muchuan looked at the screen.
“
 I don’t believe you.”
Xiang Wan had no confidence in Bai Muchuan’s photography skills due to their difference in taste.
“See for yourself
”
Bai Muchuan walked to Xiang Wan and showed the screen to her.

 Ooh!
It was just as he said, the picture turned out well!
The snow mountain, silvery white peak, and the pure, clean scenery around it.
The pure color was in strong contrast to her rich, vibrant ethnic costume

The color contrast was artistic and filled with impact.
“Bai Muchuan, I admire you so much! You can actually take such a nice picture of me!”
No girl would hate having beautiful pictures taken of them.
Xiang Wan had to admit that no one had ever taken a picture of her as artistic and as beautiful as Bai Muchuan did

As she grew excited, she laughed heartily. Bai Muchuan was just standing beside her, looking at her from the corner of his eyes. He revealed a sneaky smile and tapped on the ‘switch camera’ button. Immediately, both of their faces appeared on the mobile phone screen, with the blue sky and snowy mountain as their background. Then, he moved slightly as he adjusted the angle of the camera.
Click!
With his long hand, he managed to move the camera further away to get a good angle. With that, his pictures were naturally more refined. It totally did not look like a close-up selfie shot

Xiang Wan was stupefied. She stared at the picture for a long time and did not utter a word!
Bai Muchuan’s lips curved into a smile. “What kind of expression is that? Is it not nice?”
Xiang Wan grinned blissfully, like a little silly idiot.
“Bai Muchuan, you’ve completely overthrown the impression I have of you
”
“Mm? What do you mean?”
“I’ve always thought that the photography skills of men who have strange tastes in women’s clothing
 would be terrible!”
“Of course.” Sir Little Bai raised his eyebrows. “In ten thousand such men, only one is good. Congratulations to you, baby, for that one in ten thousand, is me!”
“
” Xiang Wan was stunned for a moment. “Don’t you feel awkward singing your own praises like this?”
“No, not the slightest bit!” Bai Muchuan looked serious. “Actually, you can’t blame the rest of the men.”
“Why do you say that?”
Bai Muchuan’s sexy lips curved into a half-smile. That smile unexpectedly enchanted Xiang Wan to not react for a moment.
“This is because
 even if they have great skills, it will only work if they have good looks!”
Hahaha!
Xiang Wan laughed heartily again. “Are you talking about yourself?”
Bai Muchuan pinched her face. “Silly, I’m talking about both of us!”
Cough! Xiang Wan stopped laughing and nodded her head. “In that case, then I must agree with your point!”
Bai Muchuan patted her head and put his hand on her waist. “Let’s go now, we, the two good-looking ones, should go and have our lunch.”
“Goodbye, Wen Xin Nunnery!”
“
 Goodbye, Wen Xin Mountain!”
“Goodbye, Wen Xin Town!”


When they were leaving the town, the hotel owner sent them off at the entrance with teary eyes.
He held Quan Shaoteng’s hands; his face was full of reluctance

When they were settling the final bill with the owner, Quan Shaoteng showed the owner the page of the online store that sold the same series of the high-valued watch he was wearing with a serious expression

“Young brother, you should visit here more often!”
Quan Shaoteng stroked his shiny ear stud.
“Sure
 but you’d better not hope for us to come!”
The hotel owner could not stop looking at his watch. “Why?”
Quan Shaoteng showed a ravishing smile at the owner.
“If it’s not because of a crime, who would want to come to such a remote place and endure such cold winds?”
The hotel owner’s face distorted into a grimace. “
 Please take your leave! Goodbye!”


Although the snow had stopped, the road was still tough to drive on.
The young Salimu who had never undergone military training was like a delicate baby who cried out in pain throughout the journey when he was carried out of the hotel.
Hence, Bai Muchuan had to order everyone to reduce their speed

His decision made Quan Shaoteng felt like a knife slicing his heart. He had wholeheartedly wanted to return to Nanmu City as soon as possible, so he could enjoy a hot water bath and change into a set of fresh, clean clothes.
“That young fellow Salimu, we should ‘throw’ him to the Special Police Force in the Capital for a few months of training?”
He had said that to Bai Muchuan.
It was actually a fair suggestion.
Salimu had his forte, but he was timid and afraid of pain. Going ahead, they would not know what cases they might encounter; bringing Salimu along would be equivalent to bringing along a kid with them since he seemed to ask for a lot of attention

“No! No!” Salimu immediately replied before Bai Muchuan said anything and he was pulling a long face. “Captain Bai, after all I’ve done to save all of you, you won’t be treating me like this, right?”
Bai Muchuan had an unconcerned look. “How did you know?”
Salimu instantly showed a smile. “I know you’re the kindest
”
Kind, huh!? It’s this word again.
Bai Muchuan touched his face and seemed to be deliberating over it.
“Generally, for officers who have done well in missions, the organization would encourage them to keep improving themselves. In this way, they would have better advancements in future
”
“How to keep improving?” An expectant Salimu pricked up his ears.
“Of course, it’s to go for a few months training with the Special Police Force!”
“Ahhhh
. No!”


The dull and boring journey became interesting because of Salimu.
They would chit chat and someone would tease Salimu

It was Quan Shaoteng who seemed to enjoy doing so.
However, everyone inside the SUV benefited from it as they guffawed from the jokes.
When their SUV got out of Wen Xin Town and drove for dozens of miles, the roads were no longer as wet and slippery.
The area they were now cruising along did not have snow.
They could then accelerate as the road condition improved.
However, by the time they arrived in Nanmu City, it was already dark.
Nanmu Hospital.
The signboard of the hospital was clear and bright at night.
One could see it from afar in the dimly lit city of Nanmu.
When they stopped their SUV in front of the hospital, everyone saw Tu Liang who was standing under the street light.
The injuries he suffered were burns, open wounds, and the like due to the whip. Besides recuperating for two days, he had been working on the case.
He received news from them that Salimu would be sent to this hospital, so Tu Liang had already informed the hospital to standby and waited for them.
He was indeed worthy of the title of the Butler of Serious Crime Division One!
Bai Muchuan was the first to hop off the SUV. He gave Tu Liang a hug and gave a few pats on his back.
“Brother, you’ve worked hard!”
Tu Liang felt his eyes warm. “Everyone has worked hard too!”
Everyone there had experienced a difficult period in their life for what happened for the past few days.
Everyone gave each other friendly hugs but did not say more.
After Salimu was carried into the hospital, Tu Liang looked at Bai Muchuan.
“Boss, all of you can return to the hotel to rest. I will be here.”
“Mm!” Bai Muchuan patted him on the arm. “I’ll leave him to you now!”
Tu Liang smiled then showed a serious expression. “Meng Chi is at Nanmu Hotel. Just 10 minutes ago, he called me up to ask when you will be coming back to Nanmu.”
Bai Muchuan sneered, “What did he want?”
Tu Liang replied, “He said, he wanted to talk to you!”
