Jin Yu lived with her grandmother in Jiangwan, her mother's hometown, from a young age. When she was twelve, she met a little girl. She asked her what her name was, but the girl said nothing. She was foolishly bullied by others and didn't know how to fight back, like a little mute. The poor thing looked so pitiful. But her grandmother fell ill and had to go to the capital for surgery. Jin Yu hoped the little girl could protect herself.
Li Le got into the Capital University. She wanted to protect the country and its people, just like her father. And she also wanted to meet Jin Yu. She rarely spoke, and secretly kept Jin Yu in her heart for over ten years. Later, Li Le followed the path her father had taken and took up his long-shelved police badge.
"Why don't you talk?"
"I don't like to."
"But I like your voice."
"...I'll try."
"Will you come back from this mission...?"
"I don't know."
"Li Le."
"Yeah?"
"Come back safe..."
"Okay."
"Li Le, you promised me you'd come back safe..."
A cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside, overthinker who just won't say what's on her mind, a police detective gong (Li Le) x a warm-on-the-outside and warm-on-the-inside teaching assistant (lawyer) shou (Jin Yu), with even more thoughts in her head and a mouth that sometimes runs faster than her brain.
Li Le can't put on an act around Jin Yu at all, and instantly turns into a well-behaved puppy.

Content warnings:
1. The gong falls in love at first sight, while the shou falls in love at second sight. The story follows both of their perspectives, but mostly the shou's.
2. The romance will have some gaps filled in later on.
3. The writing is average, and updates are irregular.
4. The gong has some inner conflict because of her family situation. The shou is a cheerful sweetheart in the early part of the story.
5. Who knows where the story will go later, but it will definitely be angsty.
6. Happy ending, happy ending, happy ending!!!
7. There's no claim to literary merit.
