Griseo, Who Falls for Everyone? / Griseo: "...You, Dragonface?"

Of course, if it were just a series of messages, it wouldn't have surprised Chen. What surprised her was the person who sent the messages, Lin Yuhsia... It wasn't that she didn't know this person well, but they certainly didn't contact each other often.

After suppressing his initial surprise, Chen quickly browsed through the messages Lin Yuhsia had sent him. After all, perhaps this "friend" who rarely contacted him had something important to say this time.

"..."

After reading Lin Yuhsia's concise message, Chen fell into a brief state of thought.

After thinking for a moment and failing to find any useful information in her mind, she slowly replied to the message on the other end.

[I'm currently out on fieldwork, but I'll get back as soon as possible.]

[If you're in a hurry, you can take that young lady there first. Swire is still with the Lungmen Guard Department; she can help.]

[Okay, I understand. I'll tell her and then I'll take some people over.]

Not long after Chen replied, Lin Yuhsia quickly sent a message.

"..."

After receiving a clear reply from the other side, Ch'en put away her phone, adjusted her original plans, and then headed towards the Lungmen Guard Department.

If she had known this would happen, she would have just taken a police car home...

"Alright, we've arrived. This is the Lungmen Guard Department, and it's also where Ch'en, the person you're looking for, works." Lin Yuhsia held Griseo's hand as they stood at the entrance of the Lungmen Guard Department, and then quietly introduced the building to her.

"However, you'll have to wait a while before you can see her."

"Yes, thank you so much for today, sister..." After hearing Lin Yuhsia's words, Griseo first thanked her with a slight smile, then gently tugged at her hand and said, "How about I treat you to lunch, sister?"

"Pfft, you little one? I'd rather treat you to a meal." Faced with Griseo's childish words, Lin Yuhsia couldn't help but pat her head and tease her.

As they spent more time together, Miss Lin, who already had a good impression of Griseo, grew to like this well-behaved and adorable little sister she had just met even more.

However, Lin Yuhsia's growing fondness for Griseo and her increased understanding of her also brought some worries, especially after she roughly grasped the meaning of the colors Gretchen spoke of and her own characteristics...

In Miss Lin's eyes, the little girl's special ability, combined with her naivety, was simply a "disaster." People are naturally innocent and easy to manipulate, and this trait only exacerbated the situation...

"???) Um, I'm serious!"

Seeing Lin Yuhsia taking her words as a joke, Griseo out her cheeks and said seriously.

Honestly, if she hadn't been reluctant to reveal her location, the little girl would have readily handed over her money! But after this incident, she's learned her lesson; next time she goes on a long trip, she'll prepare a small bag to make it easier to retrieve things discreetly.

"Okay, okay, Griseo is serious..."

Lin Yuhsia, who was laughing and coaxing Griseo, suddenly changed the subject after noticing a familiar figure in the Lungmen Guard Department lobby. "The person we've been waiting for has arrived. Let's go."

"Um."

P. S.: Ah, I'm going back to my hometown to visit my ancestors' graves tomorrow! But I have some good news: I can finally get rid of that dog.

Chapter 71 Griseo, who falls in love with every woman she meets?

"So this is the child you were talking about, Lin Yuhsia? So cute." After meeting Lin Yuhsia in the lobby, Swire smiled and looked at Griseo, who was looking at her with innocent eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that it would be impolite, the little tiger would have even wanted to reach out and pet the adorable child in front of it.

"..."

As Swire gazed at Griseo, she was also observing the pleasing pale gold hue surrounding her.

To be honest, at her current pace of liking every color she sees, the little girl thinks there's a pretty good chance she'll collect all the colors and complete the task today.

"It is quite cute, but isn't Tai He us to stand here?" Lin Yuhsia asked Swire, noticing the curious glances coming from around them.

"Indeed, Tai He to have Miss Lin standing here with such a cute child. Let's go to the office." With that, Swire turned and led the way out of the Lungmen Guard Department lobby, heading towards her office.

At the same time, she turned to Grey, who was holding Lin Yuhsia's hand behind her, Griseo, "Let's get acquainted. My name is Swire, and I'm the police superintendent here. I'll help you contact your parents and get you home safely."

"Yes, it's nice to meet you, Sister Huaiya. As for my name... my name is Griseo, and I'm a painter." Upon hearing this, Griseo nodded her little head slightly and then gave her standard introduction, although the last sentence was generally not believed by most people.

"A painter... So Griseo is really good at painting. I didn't expect that I would be helping a little painter this time." As soon as Griseo said this, Swire was walking in front, was slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help but laugh.

Unlike the others, the little tiger did not refute or ignore the meaning behind the words, but instead praised them in accordance with the meaning.

As for why Swire did this, it's because... children's dreams must be protected.

Since this adorable little girl was confident enough to speak up, she would naturally offer encouragement and praise. After all, who didn't have dreams when they were young?

Even before her childhood, Swire is still striving for the dream born from being rescued as a child, and for her current ideals.

"???) Hmm, Sister Huaiya actually believes what I said?"

After hearing Swire's words, Griseo's large Roland eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked a question.

It's understandable that the little girl was making a fuss; she's been in this world for quite some time now and has used this "standard introduction" a lot, but there are very few people who praise and affirm her like Swire right from the start.

"Is it really necessary to be so surprised? Or do you yourself not believe what you're saying?" Seeing Griseo 'Griseo surprised expression, Swire grinned and asked with a hint of helplessness.

"Well, of course I believe what I say, it's just that everyone I knew before didn't quite believe me at first..." As she explained, Griseo suddenly quickened her pace, took two steps forward, and gently tugged at Swire's sleeve, saying:

"Sister Huaiya's colors are also very beautiful. May I use them to paint a picture for you?"

"Drawing for me is no problem."

Swire, whose sleeve was suddenly tugged, did not resist. Instead, she slowed her pace slightly, naturally took Griseo's small hand, and asked with a curious expression, "But what about my color? Are you referring to the color scheme of my outfit?"

"If you're curious about this, instead of asking Griseo, Swire, you might as well ask me directly." Lin Yuhsia raised an eyebrow at Swire, looking at the little girl who had suddenly changed her mind because of her friend (color).

"It seems you've gotten quite a bit out of Lin Yuhsia. Tell me about it!" Having been interrupted, Swire turned her curious gaze to Lin Yuhsia, waiting for her to continue.

"Ah, that's a long story. Griseo, would you mind if this person knew some things about you?"

"Well, it's not a secret..."

After obtaining the consent of the person involved, Lin Yuhsia slowly began to explain to Swire the abilities or characteristics of Griseo that she had previously understood and summarized.

On the other side--

"..."

As Ch'en hurried toward the Lungmen Guard Department, she continued to search her mind for any matching information.

However, after thinking about it again, she couldn't recall anyone she hadn't seen in a long time asking a little girl to deliver something to her...

Could it be someone she had saved or helped before? With this question in mind, Ch'en quickened her pace again.

Lungmen Guard Department, Senior Superintendent's Office

"Griseo, are you really not going to reveal any information before Ch'en arrives at that hotel?" Swire asked helplessly, looking at Griseo, who was sitting at her desk shaking her head and unwilling to reveal any information about her parents or the hotel.

Even if you're not in a hurry to go home, your family must be worried about you being out alone for so long.

"Well, my sisters won't worry, because I'm very capable... Sister Huaiya, you don't need to worry about me, you can go and do your own thing first." After saying this earnestly to Swire, Griseo turned to Lin Yuhsia and said:

"Sister Yuxia, if you have something to do, you can leave first. I'll come find you later and treat you to a meal!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two, who couldn't discern any strength in the seemingly weak, innocent, and adorable child before them, exchanged a glance and simultaneously formed a thought: they would give this little guy a good scolding when they met his parents later!

How could anyone let such a young and innocent little cutie go out alone without any concern?! It's incredibly irresponsible!

"I don't have much to do today, so I have plenty of time to spend with you and take you home." Lin Yuhsia narrowed her eyes slightly before continuing:

"Besides, I also want to meet your [elders], Griseo!"

"..."

Swire had originally intended to say "[Me too]", glanced silently at the unfinished documents on her desk and quietly changed her mind, saying instead:

"Well, I can't be like Lin Yuhsia... after all, I haven't finished my work for today, but I've been here the whole time. You can call me if you need anything."

"Once we've found out about your situation, little Griseo, I'll be responsible for sending you back, and then I'll give your guardian a proper talking-to!"

"???) Well... that's troublesome."

P. S.: You were right! Yesterday I went back to my hometown to visit the graves and take the dog back, and because the dog was being disobedient, it suddenly lunged backwards while I was going uphill, and I fell flat on my face. Since it was on a mountain, I hit a rock, and it hurt terribly. My leg is still swollen... o? o

And then, Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, everyone!

Chapter 72 Griseo: "... A defeated dragon?"

"Swire, I have another one here..."

Just as Swire and the others were having a friendly conversation in the office, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and at the same time a mature and cheerful female voice came in. However, the voice stopped abruptly after the owner of the voice saw the scene in the office.

"...?"

After pausing her words and actions, Hoshiguma cast a questioning glance at her friend in the office, as if asking what was going on.

"Excuse me, I'll be right back." Noticing her friend's gaze Swire didn't rush over but turned back to Lin Yuhsia and the other woman first.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll stay with Griseo here." After hearing Swire's words, Lin Yuhsia nodded seriously.

In her opinion, Swire's choice at this moment was quite correct. If her friend had actually chosen to stay here and play with the children and temporarily give up her work, then she would have felt that her friend had neglected her duties.

"Well, Sister Huaiya, go ahead and do your work. Griseo will be obedient and won't cause any trouble..." After hearing their conversation, Griseo blinked her beautiful eyes gently and said obediently.

"Um!"

After hearing their replies, Swire smiled at them before turning and walking towards Hoshiguma, who looked completely bewildered at the door.

"What's going on? If I'm not mistaken, that person is..." Hoshiguma asked in a low voice as Swire walked over.

"It's a long story, let's go outside and talk." With that, Swire gently nudged Hoshiguma and gave her a wink.

Swire didn't intend to hide the current situation in the office, but it was clear that the office doorway wasn't a suitable place to talk.

"Good."

Just after the two superintendents left the office, Lin Yuhsia withdrew her gaze from Griseo, which she had been staring at out of curiosity, and said with a somewhat strange expression, "You haven't fallen for that superintendent's colors again, have you?"

"If I remember correctly, you said before that you were only coming to Lungmen for a few days, and that you wouldn't have enough time to draw for other people, right?"

Before witnessing the familiar interaction between the little one and Swire, Lin Yuhsia certainly wouldn't have asked such a question. But after seeing it...

Ms. Lin genuinely doubted that Griseo would give each person she thought had a piece of her work that reflected a beautiful "color"...

"Hmm, that lady's color is also very pretty... it makes me feel safe standing behind her." Faced with Lin Yuhsia's sudden question, Griseo nodded her little head and answered truthfully.

"I don't have enough time to draw these few days... but that's okay, if it really comes to it I can go back and draw some more, and then mail it over later. I've already memorized everyone's colors."

"Alright... whatever makes you happy." After hearing Griseo's explanation, Lin Yuhsia shook her head helplessly and stopped asking questions, instead falling into deep thought.

As for what he was thinking about, he was naturally thinking about the little girl next to him. Especially since she had previously deduced that "color" was "personality" or "characteristics," and he hadn't refuted it.

To be honest, Miss Lin was quite curious about Griseo's standards for "colors," whether she had any particular preferences, and what these so-called "colors" looked like in her eyes.

Lin Yuhsia had asked Griseo these questions before, but unfortunately, she didn't get any useful information that could be used to speculate.

Just as the four people were chatting in pairs, a figure in dark blue arrived on this floor in the elevator. Before the figure even reached the office door, it spotted two friends whispering to each other not far away.

"What are you doing? And where are Lin Yuhsia and that child?" Chen, who had just returned from outside, didn't hold back and stepped forward to ask.

"Hey, our busy man is back."

Upon hearing this, Swire turned her head towards the source of the sound, then continued, "I was explaining the situation to Hoshiguma, and we also chatted about work. As for Lin Yuhsia and Griseo, they're in the office."

"Okay, I understand." Chen nodded lightly, then turned and pushed open the door to see what was going on in the office.

Meanwhile, the two, who had almost finished chatting, exchanged a glance and then followed in unison. They were also quite curious about who would send a little girl to bring something for their friend.

However, the situation inside the office after they pushed open the door was completely unexpected for the three of them.

"Lin Yuhsia, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Lin Yuhsia, who had somehow moved to a corner in the office and distanced herself from Griseo, Swire's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. Then, as if remembering something, she quickly said, "Wait, did this little one get tainted by you just now?"

"Hmm." Meeting Swire's questioning gaze, Lin Yuhsia nodded.

Heaven knows what she felt when the little one beside her suddenly blurted out, "I can draw for you, and I can take you to see your sisters, but you'd better prove to me how worthwhile that is," while she was deep in thought.
