That evening, Feng Ling went to the Supervision Bureau to meet up with the Twin Sisters as usual. Huangfu Miaomiao was especially happy because she could go shopping and eat snacks again.
Feng Ling also packed up the miscellaneous items she had left in Room 520 and brought along the case files. Though she did not think she had much talent for investigations, she still wanted to put on a convincing act.
"Alright~ Let's go." Feng Ling picked up her backpack.
Huangfu Miaomiao excitedly opened the door and rushed out—
Bang! She crashed right into Bai Lu, who was passing by.
When Feng Ling came out and saw this, she greeted her. "Captain Bai, you live here too?"
Bai Lu replied with a smile, "I'm in the room at the very end. There's a folding bed in my office too, so sometimes I just sleep there."
She crouched down, stroked Huangfu Miaomiao's head, then pinched her cheeks. She seemed to like children very much, but Huangfu Miaomiao was uncomfortable all over from being touched.
"So this is the little Xenomorph by your side? She's so tiny." Bai Lu's eyes curved as she looked Huangfu Miaomiao over. She pinched the flesh on her arm, from elbow to wrist. "Such tiny arms and legs, like a little doll. So cute."
Huangfu Miaomiao: "..."
Standing to the side, Feng Ling said, "Cute, sure, but there's barely any meat on those little arms and legs. She doesn't have much strength for work either."
Still holding Huangfu Miaomiao's hand, Bai Lu asked Feng Ling, "Where are you headed? Going on patrol?"
"Mhm~" Feng Ling nodded. "We're acting with the Patrol Squad. It's a good chance to familiarize ourselves with the area. I still haven't explored all the streets and intersections in Jingnan City."
