Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 1118 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 41)

Miaomiao didn't expect to encounter such a tough opponent, and the other party was still able to maintain a vibrant spirit even at such a late hour.

Miao Miao's wrist was grabbed, and the rope in her hand fell to the ground with a thud. She could feel that the other person's strength was extremely great, far beyond that of an ordinary man.

With one hand restrained, Miaomiao instinctively raised her other hand and struck the man's chest with a swift and ruthless motion.

Xie Chenzhou was prepared. He slightly turned his body to avoid her attack, and at the same time released his hand covering her mouth. Instead, he grabbed her other wrist and firmly restrained her arms to his side.

The distance between the two instantly shortened to a point where Miaomiao could clearly smell the faint pine cone scent on him, which felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

Miaomiao couldn't figure out what she was familiar with for a moment; she just wanted to knock the person in front of her unconscious with a punch.

Miaomiao suddenly raised her knee and slammed it into the man's abdomen.

Xie Chenzhou took the opportunity to turn over and gently press her onto the bed, instantly changing their position so that he was leaning over and pinning her down.

His actions, though seemingly forceful, were always deliberate and left room for maneuver, ensuring she wasn't harmed in the slightest.

The two of them tacitly kept the fighting noise to a minimum, maintaining an astonishing level of restraint throughout, without making much noise.

Being so close to a stranger, not like acting in an idol drama, but like a horror movie where blood could spill at any moment, made Miaomiao feel goosebumps rising all over her body.

In particular, she could feel Officer Willie's hot breath on her neck and cheeks from time to time, which made her skin tingle slightly.

His chest was very close to hers, almost touching, and she could clearly feel his steady and powerful heartbeat, which resonated with her own panicked heartbeat.

Deep in Xie Chenzhou's eyes lurked a hint of greed that even he himself was unaware of.

He deliberately slowed his movements, using the position of pinning her down to greedily inhale her fragrance and feel her warm body temperature and delicate skin. Each physical contact was like a balm, slightly soothing the anxiety and longing in his heart.

He knew he was being paranoid, but he couldn't control himself—only by being so close to her could he be sure that she was truly safe and that she was really by his side.

"Don't move."

Xie Chenzhou's voice was extremely low, with a barely perceptible hoarseness, and his warm breath brushed against Miaomiao's ear.

"I am not a bad guy."

Miaomiao was stunned. That voice... seemed somewhat familiar?

But she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.

She stopped struggling, looking at him warily, her eyes full of suspicion.

"Who are you? Why are you here? What is your relationship with the man who lives here?"

Xie Chenzhou looked at her face so close to his own, her eyelashes long, her eyes sharp and wary, like a little animal with its fur standing on end.

His desire grew stronger, yet he still forced himself to restrain himself. He slowly released his grip on her hands, but did not get up. He remained bent over, keeping her within his own confines.

However, his tone remained as gentle as "Officer Willie's".

“I’m Officer Willie, here to investigate Harris.”

"I'm staying here to make it easier to continue the investigation tomorrow."

Miaomiao didn't believe it immediately; her brows remained furrowed.

But now the situation is beyond her control; she is held captive in the other party's arms, and whether she believes him or not is no longer important.

However, the man in front of her did give Miaomiao a vague sense of familiarity.

She could clearly sense that the other person seemed to be deliberately hiding something. It wasn't malice, but more like a cautious test, which made her inexplicably lower most of her guard.

Okay, it's rare for her to lose a fight...

It must be due to physical weakness.

Using the moonlight streaming in through the window, Miaomiao took a deep breath and looked into the man's eyes again.

The moonlight outlined his clear features, his eyes deep and calm, holding emotions she couldn't understand. Yet, the curve of his gaze and the warmth in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine.

That look... it's kind of like Xie Chenzhou's.

Even though they hadn't met many times, they shouldn't be so familiar with each other, but the moment this thought popped into Miaomiao's head, she was startled.

But could it be him?

Miaomiao pursed her lips, wanting to start a conversation and test the other person's identity.

Meanwhile, Xie Chenzhou saw all of Miaomiao's reactions and a faint warmth flickered in his eyes.

He knew Miaomiao would find him; she definitely had feelings for him.

Unfortunately, if Miaomiao discovers him, he won't be able to satisfy his cravings with such physical intimacy as before...

If we continue to suppress her at such close range, it will only make her more vigilant.

Fortunately, that brief moment of intimacy was enough to soothe his longing over the past few days, allowing him to communicate with her calmly.

"I'm letting go of you now. Let's both calm down and not make too much noise."

Xie Chenzhou didn't dare to take advantage of Miaomiao any further. Instead, as if to make sure that she wouldn't suddenly scream, he slowly released his hold on Miaomiao, then raised his hands and placed them at his sides with his palms facing forward, so that Miaomiao could clearly see that he had no ill intentions towards her.

After making this move, he took a half-foot back, giving her enough safe distance so that she could sit up from the bed.

"What's your name?"

Xie Chenzhou's voice was still very low, but it was more sincere than before.

"The owner here is named Harris, and he is connected to a case called 'Luna'."

You may not know this, but it is a case of a missing girl from eight years ago.

I hadn't noticed him at first, but recently the police department reviewed old case files and discovered many irregularities, which is why they started focusing their investigation on him.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet room, and every word reached Miaomiao's ears precisely.

Miaomiao was stunned; she hadn't expected things to be so coincidental. In her current state, she posed no threat to the man in front of her, yet instead of taking the opportunity to tie her up and interrogate her, he proactively explained his purpose, attempting to gain her trust.

Combined with that strong sense of familiarity, Miaomiao had to temporarily believe that the man in front of her might be in cahoots with her, or that he was Xie Chenzhou, or at least not Harris's accomplice.

"They call me Luna."

Miaomiao was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, her voice slightly hoarse from the recent fight.

"But I know I am not."
