Delayed Echo

[My new novel, Misaligned Lovers, is now underway. Come check it out!] / I give up halfway through everything, but I love one person for the long haul Mu Xirui - He Yu, chief of the criminal investigation team at the Shuangqing Branch, is a legend. She's an expert at solving cases, catching criminals, and sports. Her only flaw is her cold personality. She has countless admirers, but she never gives any of them a second glance. The biggest exception is the young girl who's recently appeared. She's sweet and lively, always trailing after He Yu like a little shadow. But when asked who the girl is, He Yu only replies coolly, "A friend's kid." Everyone is used to it. They feel sorry for the latest young girl's heart to be broken. Sure enough, the little shadow disappears before long. Everyone assumes Team Leader He cut the girl loose herself. After all, she carries on with her usual patrols and cases, and her draw speed hasn't suffered in the slightest. Until one afternoon, the team members rush into their captain's office. Their usually proud, cold, and utterly unfeeling boss is sitting at her desk, studying with a chilly expression. The book has a simple cover, with several bold black characters clearly printed on it: How to Win Back Your Love in One Book (?) P.S.: - A cheerful, optimistic chatterbox who's a bit of a scaredy-cat VS a cold, world-weary, cocky boss. Which one will be the other's undoing? - A story in the Wishing Upon the Night Sky series: My Uncle Stole My Best Friend, So I'll Steal His Buddy (Not really) - The characters' values and actions aren't the author's. Feel free to discuss them or criticize them civilly, but don't attack the author.
