Han Haoming immediately turned, placing his index finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet.
Qin Siyue's mouth formed an 'o' shape. She paused for a moment, and seeing he was on the phone, she quietly walked over and placed the fruit on the coffee table.
"Haoming, why did I just hear a woman's voice?" Lü Ying suddenly asked from the other end of the phone.
"Mom, it's a female colleague. She just bought some fruit outside and brought some over for me," Han Haoming glanced at Qin Siyue as he replied.
"Oh, so it's a colleague." Lü Ying continued with a serious tone, "The fruit is acceptable, but you must maintain a certain distance. Don't forget, Siyue is waiting for you at home."
"Mom, what are you saying? Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Han Haoming chuckled helplessly and quickly ended the call. "I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I can't chat anymore. I'm hanging up now."
Han Haoming put away his phone, let out a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Qin Siyue, asking, "Isn't it working hours? Why do you have time to come over?"
"I was afraid you'd be too lonely here by yourself, so I came to keep you company," Qin Siyue said with a playful smile, walking over to help him sit on the sofa. "Was that Auntie on the phone just now?"
"Mm," Han Haoming replied with a single word, watching Qin Siyue slowly open the bag of fruit she had brought. She took out a plastic container and placed it on the coffee table, then asked him, "You hung up the phone so hastily just now. What did Auntie say?"
A smile played on Han Haoming's lips. "She told me not to get too close to the girl who brought me fruit."
"Ah?" Qin Siyue's heart skipped a beat, and the hand that was about to open the plastic container stopped. "Did she say anything else?"
Seeing her nervous demeanor, Han Haoming's smile widened. "She also said that I should treat you well and bring you home to meet the parents soon."
Qin Siyue finally relaxed and smiled as she opened the plastic container. "I knew it. Auntie must not have known who the person delivering the fruit was, which is why she said that. She even comforted me last night, telling me not to rush and to wait patiently for you to come back."
Suddenly, a strange smell filled the entire room. Han Haoming immediately covered his nose and asked, "What is this smell? Why is it so unpleasant?"
Qin Siyue looked at him in surprise. "It's durian. You haven't eaten it before, have you?"
"No," Han Haoming replied, frowning, his hand still covering his nose. "Durian smells like this. It smells a bit off, but it's very fragrant when you eat it."
As Qin Siyue spoke, she scooped a spoonful and offered it to him. "Why don't you try some?"
Han Haoming reflexively shifted to the side. "I'll pass. You eat it."
"Haoming, don't look down on durian. It's very nutritious and especially effective for recovering from injuries," Qin Siyue still held out the spoon. "I specifically went to the fruit store to buy it for you. You can't dismiss my efforts. Besides, as a police captain, you're not afraid of criminals, are you afraid of this? Come on, be good, open your mouth."
Han Haoming was momentarily speechless by her words, so he had no choice but to open his mouth, hold his breath, and bravely take a bite as if receiving an order. However, he kept it in his mouth and didn't move for a long time.
"How is it? Isn't it very fragrant when you eat it?" Qin Siyue tilted her head and asked.
Only then did Han Haoming move a little, his tightly furrowed brow relaxing. "Mmm. It is indeed a bit fragrant, soft and creamy, and very delicious."
"Really? If it's delicious, then eat more. This is all for you." Upon hearing this, Qin Siyue immediately pushed the entire container towards him.
Han Haoming took the spoon she handed him and ate another three or four bites before stopping and asking, "Are you eating too?"
"There's only one spoon. How can I eat?" Qin Siyue tilted her head, looking at him. "Why don't you feed me?"
The next moment, the man indeed scooped a large piece and brought it to her lips. "Here, eat."
Qin Siyue looked at his handsome and charming face, her heart filled with joy. She unceremoniously swallowed it in one bite, completely forgetting her usual ladylike demeanor in front of him. As a result, some durian flesh stuck to the corner of her mouth. Han Haoming, with doting eyes, reached out and naturally wiped it away for her.
"If I had known you liked it so much, I wouldn't have eaten so much earlier."
