Lu Feng

"Old Qin, I suddenly remembered something..."

Zhao Jian Hua reached out and patted Qin Ye's shoulder, saying with a smile: "Your precious granddaughter Qin Feiyu is in her twenties now, right? Does she have a partner?"

Hearing his words, Qin Ye gulped down the beef in his mouth with a gurgle and couldn't help but sigh heavily: "It would be great if she had a partner, but she doesn't! There are quite a few young men in our courtyard around her age, and their conditions are all decent. I thought about introducing a few to her and playing matchmaker, but every time I mention it she gets anxious with me, saying her career comes first and to talk about dating in a few years. Sigh... I'm worried to death."

Every time this topic came up, Qin Ye couldn't help but worry.

Seeing that the children around Qin Feiyu's age in the courtyard were getting married or should be getting married, those who married early now had children several years old.

Even a few children he didn't think highly of now had partners when they should.

But his own granddaughter Qin Feiyu seemed not to care about this at all, and after so many years she was still single from birth.

Qin Ye frowned deeply and couldn't help but complain to his three old friends: "Xiao Yu is already twenty-five this year. Her job is special; she deals with people who have committed crimes every day, and her temper is getting harder and harder. If she goes on like this, I really worry she'll never be able to marry in the future. What should we do?"

"That shouldn't be! Xiao Yu is so beautiful. In their unit, isn't there a single suitable one?"

Zhao Jian Hua said while keeping a concerned look on his face, but his right hand secretly made a gesture to the two people beside him under the table.

Seeing his gesture, Liu Zhen Guo held a bowl with one hand pretending to drink soup, and held chopsticks in the other, quietly picking a large piece of beef from Qin Ye's bowl without changing expression, then quickly stuffed it into his mouth and chewed with enjoyment.

Xu Shao Ying pretended to pick up a tissue from the table, held chopsticks in his right hand, quickly reached into Qin Ye's bowl, and rolled away a large piece of beef. Taking advantage of the motion of wiping his mouth, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth and savored it with delight.

The two's movements were skilled and without any hesitation; at a glance, it was clear they weren't doing this for the first time.

Qin Ye was completely unaware of this, his attention entirely on the topic just mentioned, and he continued talking about his granddaughter to himself.

"Why wouldn't there be? There are actually quite a few young, handsome young men in their unit. But she's worked there for several years and hasn't taken a liking to a single one. Do you know what their colleagues call her behind her back?"

"Call her what?"

Xu Shao Ying had already swallowed the beef in his mouth and asked curiously.

He smacked his lips with lingering enjoyment, his eyes still fixed on the beef in Qin Ye's bowl, waiting for the next opportunity.

"The colleagues in their unit think Xiao Yu is usually cold as ice, doesn't smile when talking to people, and behind her back they call her Iron-Blooded Rose!"

Qin Ye shook his head, saying somewhat heartbroken: "Listen to yourselves, what girl is called such a thing! I really regret it now. If I had known this would happen, I should have stopped her back then and not let her become a police officer!"

"Hey, this title sounds pretty good!" Xu Shao Ying couldn't help but smile, reaching out to pat Qin Ye's shoulder: "It sounds quite domineering. Xiao Yu is beautiful, and the title Rose suits her well. Roses are so popular!"

While Qin Ye was talking to Xu Shao Ying, Liu Zhen Guo and Zhao Jian Hua made their move again, one after another, secretly picking two pieces of beef from Qin Ye's bowl.

"Old Xu, don't joke around." Hearing this, Qin Ye rolled his eyes at Xu Shao Ying unhappily: "Xiao Yu is a girl after all. Every day she puts on a stern face. Men seeing her like this, who dares to approach her?"

"Old Qin, you're exaggerating too much."

Liu Zhen Guo licked his lips and laughed loudly: "Xiao Yu isn't as cold as you say. Every time we see her, isn't she quite happy, right, Old Zhao?"

"Exactly. Old Qin, what you said is indeed a bit exaggerated." Zhao Jian Hua nodded in agreement.

Qin Ye shook his head helplessly and said with a sigh: "Xiao Yu is fine in front of acquaintances. I'm talking about her behavior at the unit. I've been to their unit; when those colleagues see her, they're like mice seeing a cat."

"That's nonsense. Xiao Yu is a police officer. You just said yourself what kind of people she faces all day. If she smiled all the time at work, could she intimidate those people?" Xu Shao Ying said with a laugh.

"That's true, but I'm still worried."

Qin Ye nodded slowly and said with a worried look: "Xiao Yu rarely contacts outsiders usually. Besides going to work, she stays at home all day. Her colleagues at the unit are all so afraid of her. How will she find a partner in the future?"

"Then when you have nothing to do, bring her out more often to meet more people outside. It would be good for Xiao Yu too."

Zhao Jian Hua said while picking another piece of meat from Qin Ye's bowl. This time it was somewhat brazen.

But Qin Ye's attention was completely elsewhere right now. He had no reaction to Zhao Jian Hua's movement. Hearing him say this, he suddenly thought of something: "Old Zhao, if I remember correctly, your grandson is getting married next month, right?"

"What do you mean 'your grandson'? That sounds so awkward."

Hearing Qin Ye's words, Zhao Jian Hua couldn't help but cough and correct him: "Can't you just remove that word? He's getting married on the 10th of next month. All of us brothers must come then. We'll have a good drink then, no return until drunk!"

"I really envy you!" Qin Ye laughed twice, and a hint of emotion couldn't help but show on his face: "I still remember when he was little, he was bullied by Xiao Yu a lot. Every time he cried and led you to my house to complain. Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, the children are at the age to marry and have children. I don't know when my Xiao Yu will find a partner."

"Hey, Old Qin, what do you think of Xiao Lu?"

Liu Jian Guo chewed the beef in his mouth while pointing toward the kitchen, leaning over to ask.

"Xiao Lu?"

Hearing Liu Zhen Guo's words, Qin Ye couldn't help but turn his head to look toward the kitchen.

The moment he turned his head, the three people at the table quickly made their move. Several more pieces of beef disappeared from Qin Ye's bowl.

Lu Feng in the kitchen was seriously cooking noodles. His angular face carried a faint smile, looking especially handsome.

They say a serious man is the most handsome. Qin Ye had to admit that Lu Feng's looks were much better than his when he was young.

He turned his head back, thought seriously for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "Come to think of it, I think my Xiao Yu and Xiao Lu are quite a good match. I'll find an opportunity to ask Xiao Yu's opinion later. Maybe this can actually happen!"

But just as he finished speaking, he muttered with some worry: "But with Xiao Yu's temper, I don't know if Xiao Lu can stand her..."

"Alright, alright, Old Qin, let's not talk about this topic anymore."

Seeing that the beef in Qin Ye's bowl had been almost eaten by them, Xu Shao Ying let out a burp, patted Qin Ye's shoulder, and advised: "You don't need to worry too much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Xiao Yu has been liked by people since she was young. When you have nothing to do, bring her to the shop more often. Let her talk and interact with Xiao Lu more. Let things take their natural course. Maybe the two will hit it off."

After hearing this, Qin Ye also thought he made sense and nodded with a smile: "You're right, no more talk, no more talk! Hurry up and eat the noodles. If they get cold, the texture won't be as delicious."

Saying this, he picked up his chopsticks, preparing to get another piece of beef.

Who knew that when he lowered his head, he saw only two pitiful pieces of beef left in the bowl. His eyes almost popped out of his head, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Where is my beef?!"
