Behind the Murder Volume I

Chapter 25: Spoiling the Scenery

"Mint candy..." Gu Xiaofan still felt confused. If Ni Ran was holding five chocolate beans, she might blush and her heartbeat would speed up, but she really couldn't think of what mint candy meant.

"Yes, Gao Xuan met me in the corridor at noon today and asked me if I saw you. I said no, and I guess you were busy outside. He happened to be going out to do something at that time. Then he asked me to pass it on to him if I saw you. What do you think this means?" Ni Ran winked at Gu Xiaofan and stuffed the white and round mint candies into Gu Xiaofan's hand.

Gu Xiaofan stroked the small balls, thinking secretly that she never liked mint candy, and in fact, she hated mint candy the most. Of course, Gao Xuan definitely didn't know this, but if she had to say what the meaning was of asking Ni Ran to pass these hard candies to her suddenly, she really couldn't think of it.

"Zhong Han, you are definitely smarter than Xiaofan, this little idiot. Tell me, what does this represent?" Ni Ran grabbed Gu Xiaofan's wrist and asked Zhong Han to help analyze it.

Zhong Han took a piece of mint candy from Gu Xiaofan's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "In my opinion, this means that Gao Xuan may have eaten hot pot at noon, and there were five people eating together."

"Hahaha." Ni Ran suddenly couldn't help laughing. Her laugh was loud and hearty. She looked at Zhong Han carefully and said to him, "You speak so rationally and ruin the mood. You must not have a girlfriend, right?"

Zhong Han smiled and nodded, admitting: "I guess my ability to make up lies is not good enough, so I can only stay single for now."

"Ni Ran, come here." Gu Xiaofan pulled Ni Ran aside, away from Zhong Han, and talked about Gao Xuan. Zhong Han, a new colleague of the opposite sex who was not very familiar with her, was listening to the topic. She felt awkward. "Do you know why Gao Xuan asked you to give me mints?"

"You silly girl!" Ni Ran poked Gu Xiaofan's forehead with her index finger in anger and amusement, "Why are you so stupid? The point of this matter is not about peppermint candy or milk candy, why don't you understand?"

Gu Xiaofan was still confused: "If the point is not the sugar, then what is it about?"

"It's about behavior!" Ni Ran winked at Gu Xiaofan. "It's not about value, it's about the thought. What do you think of someone who thinks of you first and shares things with you no matter what they are doing?"

At this point, Gu Xiaofan finally got the idea. She looked at Ni Ran with red cheeks, a little excited but not so confident: "Is it true? Don't let us overthink it!"

"What do you mean by thinking too much or not? I think there's a way, girl. I think you're almost there this time. I've said it before, if you work hard, you can grind an iron rod into a needle. Look, now everyone is thinking about you and missing you, so just be happy!"

After saying that, she patted Gu Xiaofan on the shoulder and waved to Zhong Han: "Okay, the stuff has been delivered successfully. I'm going to go find Han Lele and go home. Don't stay up too late, your health is the capital of revolution!"

"Let me take you out!" The blush on Gu Xiaofan's face had not yet faded. She held the candies in her hands as if she were holding a handful of diamonds, and her heart was filled with joy.

When she sent Ni Ran to the office door and turned back, Zhong Han just threw a few pills of unknown medicine into his mouth and was swallowing them with water. Seeing this, Gu Xiaofan hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
