Because I Cannot Hurt You

The next day, as Yunru stepped into the police station, he saw the other officers whispering and giggling as they saw him.

Yunru frowned. "What is so funny?"

They hastily shook their heads. "Nothing."

Confused, he entered the station and froze in his steps. The scene that awaited him shocked him out of his wits.

The whole police station was decorated with flowers and a number of gift boxes were stacked up on a desk.

He saw Zizi standing near the main desk, holding a bouquet in her hands. She was restlessly shifting in her place as if she was awaiting somebody. There was silence as the other staff didn't say a word.

Then her glance fell on Yunru and she brightened. "Yunru!" She shyly came up to him and offered him the bouquet. "This is for you."

Yunru took a step back and turned.

"Hey, Hey! Where are you going?" Zizi grabbed his arm.

He smiled. "I have clearly arrived at the wrong place."

"What do you mean? This is the right place. You work here, don't you remember?"

"I don't remember working in a flowery kind of place."

Zizi sheepishly grinned. "Oh, the flowers...I brought them."

"Surely, I understand the source of all this pinkiness...What I failed to understand is why does it look like this?"

"Oh!" Zizi nodded. "I bought flowers and gifts to greet all the people who you work with. It's the only right thing to do because I am your fiance now," she seriously said.

He narrowed his eyes. "I smell something fishy here."

"How dare you! I came here with good intentions! Your co-workers should know who I am and I should know who they are."

"Ooooooooo~~~" the colleagues whistled. They hopped at Yunru's side and grinned.

"You bastard! How dare you hide such good news from us!?"

"Damn it, you have a fiance now and you didn't tell us!"

"How long have you been dating?"

"We need to get all the answers from you today."

Yunru coughed. "This...it's a long story."

Zizi said, "Since I am meeting them for the first time, it would be rude if I didn't bring any gifts with me."

"Sister-in-law, forget about this man! He is boring! He works so hard that he even forgets to eat at times."

"It is hard to drag him out of his shell once he starts working," they grimaced. "No wonder he didn't tell such a huge news!"

Zizi frowned. "You skip your meals?"

"I don't."

"Lies!"

Zizi glared at him. "You cannot skip your meals! Do you want to fall sick? Aren't you a cop? How will you protect the citizens if you are not well yourself?"

The other officers sobbed. "Oof. Such a caring wife."

"When will I get one?"

"Look at yourself in the mirror with that beard. Like hell you will find a girlfriend!"

Yunru cleared his throat. "They are just exaggerating. I do eat. Now, Princess. It's time for me to work."

"Oooo Princess huh~~~"

His brow twitched.

Zizi glanced at his officer buddies and asked, "Tell me the truth. Does he really not take care of himself?"

The brothers in arms burst into tears. "Where should we even start!? He is a monster!"

"Soo Yunru solves the highest number of cases but that comes at the cost of compromising on his health!"

"He doesn't eat and sleep!"

"Sometimes he has stayed in the station for days!"

Yunru gritted his teeth.

You traitors!

As Zizi heard these astounding facts, she grew more and more furious with him. "No wonder you look so thin and even your skin is deteriorating so much! Good food and timely sleep are important for healthy skin."

"I am a cop, not a model to think about my skin."

"Shut up!" She glowered at him.

Zizi took a piece of paper and wrote her number on it. She handed it to his friends and said, "From now on, just call me if he does anything stupid. I will barrage this station until he doesn't do what I order him to!"

The brothers solemnly nodded. "Yes, sister-in-law! We will do as you say!"

Yunru clapped his hands. "Okay, back to work! We have a lot of cases to work on. Get going!"

"Boooooo~~~"

Yunru dragged Zizi to his office amidst all the whistling and cheering. He shut the door and sighed. "What have you done?"

Zizi smacked him on his head. "I should ask to that! What are you doing with your health?"

"I am just fine, Princess. Sometimes the work is demanding, that's all."

"Whatever it is, you cannot compromise on food and sleep."

Yunru quickly asked another question to divert her mind. "Okay, okay. I won't from now on. Tell me why you are really are."

"What do you mean?"

"Your real intentions," he squinted his eyes.

"I am your fiance. Can I not come to visit your place to know more about you and your work?"

"I don't think that you will suddenly get the idea of meeting my colleagues out of nowhere. Your brain is not that developed yet."

Zizi gnashed her jaw. "Soo. Yunru!"

He raised his brow, challenging her to fight his claim.

She coughed.

"Princess…." He narrowed his eyes. "Spill it out."

Zizi mumbled. "Sometimes, I curse that you are so sharp."

"Hm?"

She straightened up and grumbled. "I was reading a novel and there was a scene where a secretary was trying to flirt with the main lead CEO at his office which was a serious threat to the female lead," she looked away, "I couldn't help but wonder if you have a beautiful female officer working with you in the station who could be hungrily eyeing you."

"..."

"She will be a threat to me if there is any such woman here. After all, you are a charming man. It's easy to fall for you."

He coughed hard.

Princess…

"So, I came to check how many female officers you have here. But apart from some attendants, there are really not many women working here which is a relief to me haha," she grinned.
