After graduating from college, Xie Xun set out for S City to investigate the truth behind his mother's death, carrying a sealed photographic negative and a heart full of worries.
He never expected that, before his plan even got underway, he would play the hero at a crime scene. Even more surprising, Pei Xuan'an, who took him back to the police station to give a statement, seemed to look at him a little strangely.
When he heard the officers respectfully address him as "Captain Pei," a perfect plan formed at lightning speed in Xie Xun's lowered eyes.
From then on, Xie Xun was always "happening" to show up by Captain Pei's side.
Xie Xun: At the cafe he frequents, my computer gets a blue screen. I frown and act helpless to catch his attention.
Captain Pei's reaction: He packs me up along with my computer and takes us both home. "I'll fix it."
Xie Xun: I get drenched outside the police station, shivering to win his sympathy.
Captain Pei's reaction: He shoves an apartment key into my hand. "From now on, this is your home."
Xie Xun: ...???
Wait, we're only on page two of the script. Why are you skipping straight to the ending?!
He diligently played the helpless little victim, while inwardly ranting about how little this people's police officer seemed to suspect.
That is, until he cornered the mastermind in an abandoned warehouse...
Pei Xuan'an burst through the door in a panic and pulled him behind his back, then shouted at the villain cowering on the floor, "Don't scare him!"
Xie Xun clapped his hands, looked at the villain sprawled on the floor and utterly unable to fight back, then at Pei Xuan'an's eight-hundred-meter-thick "helpless little victim" filter, and fell into deep thought.
