Pei Xizhou of Qingyuan Public Security has an impressive record as a police academy graduate. With his cold, abstinent aura and devastatingly handsome face, he has plenty of admirers, but none can get close to him. What a waste of that face.

One day, Pei Xizhou went to the hospital for an injury. His doctor was a young woman who asked anxiously, "Are you all right?"

Everyone thought, Here goes another one who's been blinded by his looks. Can't he just put a Band-Aid on that little scratch?

"I'm not," Pei Xizhou said seriously, his lashes lowered. "It hurts a lot."

"What would make you feel better?"

Pei Xizhou looked at her coolly. After a moment, he said in a quiet voice, "A hug."

-

Soon afterward, everyone noticed that Pei Xizhou, who used to stay on the job even with minor injuries, had become obedient.

When he had a headache or a fever, he knew to get an IV: "Dr. Nanfeng, I've caught a cold."

When he was hurt and bleeding, he knew to see a doctor: "Dr. Nanfeng, I'm injured."

Until a colleague caught Pei Xizhou holding Dr. Nanfeng captive in his arms, his voice fierce: "Who was that person? Don't talk to him!"

The young woman rose onto her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "All right! Don't be jealous!"

Pei Xizhou's ears turned bright red in an instant, and he fled.

Case closed.

He's pretty innocent, too.

Later, Pei Xizhou was badly injured and hovered between life and death. Nanfeng asked if he was in pain.

Pei Xizhou smiled and covered her eyes with his hand so she couldn't see. "It doesn't hurt."

Nanfeng's eyes instantly reddened. "Liar!"

Then she heard him sigh, his cool voice full of helplessness. "I can't stand seeing you cry."
