Zhao Yuxing put the polished pocket watches on the shelf. As soon as his fingertips touched the wooden edge, the shelf shook inexplicably and the two small clocks fell to the ground.
He frowned and was about to lean over to clean it up when Shi Sui quickly stepped forward and tapped the clock body with light gold lines on his fingertips. The cracked watch case slowly recovered.
"Sir, God of Wealth," she said, leaning on the counter with a smile, "I am the only one who can control your unlucky physique."
Zhao Yuxing looked down at her and said in a thoughtful tone, "Well, I will rely on you from now on."
Shi Sui spent too much time retracing the investigation and leaned on Zhao Yuxing's shoulder to catch his breath: "So retracing the murder case is so tiring..."
Zhao Yuxing raised his hand to cover the back of her neck, sending a trace of spiritual power of wealth to warm her: "Don't be brave next time."
"But I am the only one who can find the murderer." She looked up at him, with lingering fatigue in her eyes.
He leaned over and pressed her forehead, his voice was low and firm: "You control the time to find the trace, and I will be responsible for blocking the knife and protecting you. Your life is more important than solving the case."
Seeing her stunned, he added: "All my luck has been used to exchange for your safety."
