After continuously typing on the keyboard for more than two hours, Xiao Qiao finally stopped. She leaned back in her recliner and closed her eyes slightly while using her fingers to massage her temples, relieving the headache.

Talents often overwork their brains; this was true of Xiao Qiao. Although she did not do any physical work, her mental exertion was immense.

Just then, a familiar and long-missed fragrance wafted into her nostrils, and Xiao Qiao couldn't help but sniff with her cute little nose. Her eyes suddenly snapped open, and turning her head, she showed an expression of joy on her beautiful face: "Husband, when did you get back And where did you get the Xiao Qiao fruit from"

"I bought them on my way." Xia Tian handed the basket of red fruits to Xiao Qiao as if seeking praise. "As soon as I finished buying them, I came back at top speed to give them to you!"

Xiao Qiao picked up a fruit and popped it into her mouth, gently chewing on it. The pleasant fragrance filled her mouth, followed by the sweet yet sour taste sliding down her throat, refreshing her senses. At that moment, all discomfort in her brain vanished.

Floating along with this familiar feeling, Xiao Qiao's thoughts unconsciously drifted back to three years ago when she was critically ill and came to a mysterious mountain top. There she met a woman whose beauty made her feel inferior and a boy around the same age as herself.

The boy was delighted upon seeing her because it was the first time he had encountered someone his own age on the mountain. However, at that point in time, Xiao Qiao, who felt utterly hopeless about her illness, couldn't muster any joy. The boy then came up with all sorts of ways to cheer her up, picking a snow lotus flower for her and saying it was a thousand-year-old one. When she said she didn’t want to eat anything, he picked this fruit for her and told her that the fruit originally had no name but would be named after her from now on. Since then, this fruit came to be known as Xiao Qiao Fruit.

After eating just one of these Xiao Qiao fruits, she fell in love with its taste. During those days, almost every day, she ate Xiao Qiao fruit, and the boy would go pick them for her daily without fail, regardless whether it was daytime or nighttime, rainy or thunderous weather; whenever she asked, he immediately went to pick them.

One day, she insisted on going with him. When they came to a rock wall, she looked up and found the fruit tree growing in a steep crevice of the cliff. At that moment, she realized it wasn't an easy task for him to fetch her fruits every time.

Although later he told her that the cliff wasn't a big deal to him, and that he could easily climb it, he did demonstrate this by quickly climbing the sheer rock face. Yet deep down in her heart, she was moved.

"I wonder how the fruit tree on the mountain is doing now," Qiao Xiaoqiao muttered to herself.

"When I came down from the mountain, the fruits weren't ripe yet." Xia Tian replied, "But today's been lucky. I actually managed to buy so many of them! Even our fruit tree wouldn't produce that much."

"That's true, dear husband, where did you get these fruits After coming down from the mountain, I tried looking for some but never saw anyone selling this type." Qiao Xiaoqiao came back to her senses and asked somewhat puzzled.

“A girl was selling them by the roadside, so I bought all of it.” Xia Tian scratched his head. "But in my rush to give you Xiaoqiao fruits, I forgot to ask where she picked them from."

Qiao Xiaoqiao took another fruit and put it into her mouth without asking anything further; this taste had been too long overdue for her.

"Honey," after a while Qiao Xiaoqiao said, "You should take some of these to give Sister Xing. They're rare fruits, she should try them."

“Okay then, I’ll first go and give some to Officer Flower. She often has trouble sleeping, so eating this might be better for her.” Xia Tian ran down the stairs to find a fruit plate, then filled it up with Xiaoqiao fruits before quickly leaving.

Xia Tian had been to Dong District Police Station previously and now knew his way around well; many people there recognized him and let him pass unimpeded. He soon reached the floor where Leng Bingbing's office was located,

“Brother Tong, you must help us find that lawless thug who resisted arrest…” At the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Team, two dejected urban management officers were talking with Tong Jiang, these were the unfortunate fellows Xia Tian had beaten up earlier.

"Brother Tong, it's him!" Before he could finish speaking, one of them, with sharp eyes, spotted Xia Tian approaching and immediately shouted in joy.

The other urban management officer also noticed and rushed over to Xia Tian: "Great! You hit someone and now you're walking right into our trap, is that it Brother Tong, quickly, have someone catch him!"

"Why are always the two of you idiots" Xia Tian was originally in a good mood coming to look for Officer Sister but upon encountering these two again, he immediately became unhappy.

"What did you just say You still dare to curse here" The urban management officer was enraged.

"He's truly lawless, Brother Tong..." Another urban management officer also wanted to speak out and reprimand.

Xia Tian had already become impatient; he kicked one person down with a single kick, naturally cutting off his words. Then, he casually grabbed the other urban management officer and threw him away: "Don't block my way!"

Pitifully, the urban management officer was dazed from being thrown around, unable to understand in that moment how someone could dare hit people even in front of a detective.

He scrambled up off the ground and went straight to complain to Tong Jiang: "Brother Tong, did you see This person completely doesn't respect us law enforcers... uh..."

Tong Jiang immediately covered his mouth before he could finish speaking: "Stop talking!"

The other urban management officer was also about to speak but received a harsh glare from Tong Jiang: "Whatever you want to say, shut up!

These two urban management officers were instantly dumbfounded. What was going on

"What's all the noise about What happened" An irritated voice came at that moment, and a beautiful and sexy policewoman with long legs appeared before everyone—none other than Miss Cold.

"Nothing, nothing, Chief Superintendent Cold, you have work to do..." Tong Jiang quickly said with a smile.

Summer flashed forward and stood in front of Miss Cold. He then presented her the plate of Xiao Qiao fruit, saying, "I'm giving this to you to eat!"

"What is this" Miss Cold was somewhat puzzled and frowned slightly, "Didn't I ask you to look after Hongbo Why did you come here alone"

"They went to play. Don't worry. I asked Fatso to accompany them," Summer said hurriedly.

"Fatso" Miss Cold frowned. "You mean that Wang Jie of yours"

"Yeah, your cousin wanted to go to Jianghai University and I'm not familiar with the place so I sent Fatso there. He is a student at Jianghai University too," Summer nodded, then picked up one of the Xiao Qiao fruits. "Miss Policewoman Wife, don't worry about them, eat this fruit! It's very delicious!"

As he spoke, Summer held the fruit and brought it close to Miss Cold's mouth. Seeing that the fruit was right at her lips, although she wasn’t entirely comfortable with this gesture, she still opened her seductive cherry lips for Summer to feed her.

This scene caused those two unfortunate urban management officers to stare blankly. They had heard about Miss Cold’s reputation and knew that she is currently the deputy director of this eastern district branch. To see a boy feeding food to Miss Cold in public like this, even a fool would know that he must be her man.

This time, they understood why others dared to act against them even in the police station. They also realized why Tong Jiang suddenly stopped them from speaking; it turned out that they were no match for these people at all. In this day and age, although urban management officers often bully people, their targets are usually ordinary folks—how could they dare to bully someone with backing

"Consider yourselves unlucky this time. Hurry back," Tong Jiang whispered to the two men, "Since you called me Brother Tong, I'll give you a piece of advice: don't provoke him. You can't handle it."

"Thank you, Brother Tong! Thank you, Brother Tong!" The two hurriedly responded and glanced at Xia Tian before quickly leaving. They used to be the bullies around here, but today they got bullied for once.

Seeing the backs of these two men, Tong Jiang couldn't help recalling a saying: "Evil people must be ground down by evil ones."

Shaking his head and sighing inwardly, Tong Jiang turned around to enter the room and didn’t stay in this corridor as an unwanted guest.

Leng Bingbing, who had just finished eating a fruit, picked up another one and put it into her mouth. It was clear that she now knew how delicious these fruits were.

"What kind of fruit is this" After eating several pieces, Leng Bingbing couldn't help asking.

"It doesn’t have a name. I gave it a name—Xiaoqiao Fruit," Xia Tian didn’t lie about this point either, "Little Xiao loves these the most."

Xiaoqiao Fruit

Leng Bingbing felt somewhat dissatisfied; what kind of strange name was that She suspected that this guy had made up such a name just to please Little Xiao.

"Then where did you get these fruits" Ling Bingbing asked as she walked into the office.

"I bought them on the way." Xia Tian replied, then added, "But there are also some on the mountain I live on. If Police Flower Sister likes to eat them, you can have them every year."

On a mountain

Ling Bingbing was about to ask which mountain when her phone rang.

Picking up the phone and taking a look, Ling Bingbing answered: "Hello, Director Hu."

The call came from the provincial chief of police, Hu Tu.

"Little Ling, do you know where your boyfriend is" Hu Tu's tone was somewhat strange over the phone.

"Boyfriend" Unconsciously glancing at Xia Tian beside her, Ling Bingbing asked, "Director Hu, are you referring to Xia Tian"

“Yes, Little Ling, do you know where Xia Tian is now” Hu Tu continued asking.

Ling Bingbing was about to say that Xia Tian was right next to her but hesitated and instead asked: "Director Hu, is there something you need from him"Ms. Sun Xinxin," the woman replied coldly, "you mentioned 'equal conditions.' When we leased this shop to you for 10,000 a year back then, now there's someone willing to pay 5,000 a month for it. Can...
