Half an hour later, Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan were sitting in the police station together, Assistant Qu bought them something to drink and came in, he handed Shen Yuhan a can of Coke.
Shen Yuhan looked at the cold red can in his hand, he didn’t know how to open the can of Coke, he skillfully handed the Coke to Shan Qihuan: “Honey, help me open it.”
Shan Qihuan looked at him helplessly, and skillfully helped him open the can: “You haven’t recovered from your cold yet, so you can’t drink too much iced drinks.”
How could Shen Yuhan, who had tasted the joy of Coke for the first time, listen to it, he drank in small sips, drank quite a bit, and even let out a not so elegant burp, he thought Shan Qihuan didn’t hear it, and then the Coke in his hand disappeared, Shan Qihuan snatched it away, and drank the rest in one breath.
Shen Yuhan gave him a resentful look: “Don’t even leave any for me.”
Shan Qihuan said seriously: “You’re not drinking in moderation.”
Shen Yuhan blinked innocently: “It tastes good.”
Assistant Qu watched the whole process, and he almost couldn’t remember how the boss was so capitalist at first and signed the boss’s wife for training classes.
The person who took the notes for them was a female police officer with a kind face, she was taller and stronger than Shen Yuhan, and was in her thirties.
The police officer introduced herself first and showed them her police ID card.
After Shen Yuhan saw that girls could also be detectives, no, police officers, he gave the girl a smile, and was very moved by the fact that modern women can freely choose their careers.
The female police officer was fascinated by his smile for a moment, thinking that this young man is quite good-looking.
Shan Qihuan is a little unhappy, Shen Yuhan had never smiled at himself this way before, he couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, why did he smile so happily at others, they weren’t the ones stealing the painting.
Huang Quan, who was taken to the police station at this time, initially insisted that he did not steal the painting and that he was the artist of the painting, however, the police were not a vegetarian, after asking a few questions, his answers began to be full of loopholes1漏洞百出 (lòu dòng bǎi chū): lit. one hundred loopholes (idiom); full of mistakes (of speech or article); to be replete with flaws; be filled with loopholes..
The atmosphere on their side is relatively harmonious, the female police officer asked Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan to provide valid evidence, the police will also check for fingerprints on the painting, and ask Shen Yuhan to leave his fingerprints for comparison, also ask them if they have any other evidence besides fingerprints.
Shan Qihuan didn’t mention the contents of the painting again, because they could be fabricated, and the most probative evidence happened to be irrefutable physical evidence.
“The Xuan paper we use at home is purely handmade Xuan paper purchased from Song Zhuzhai, priced at 8,000 yuan per sheet, there are probably very few on the market, so it’s easy to identify, if you need to find a professional to do the appraisal, I can pay for the relevant fees.”
The female police officer’s hands trembled slightly, anyone who heard that they use a piece of Xuan paper that cost 8,000 yuan per sheet, wouldn’t remain calm, it’s a Xuan paper that would break with just a casual touch, if one piece is damaged, 8,000 yuan is gone, the world of the rich is truly terrifying.
The female police officer tried hard to suppress her surprise: “Is there any other evidence?”
“There’s also a video, I’ve sent someone to pick up the video directly from the calligraphy and painting institution where we take classes to pick up the video.” He turned to Assistant Qu and asked, “Assistant Qu, did you get the video?”
Assistant Qu said: “Yes, the other party took two manuscripts from Mr. Shen.” Then he handed the video to the police for examination.
Because the incident has not alarmed calligraphy and painting training institutions so far, so they got the video very smoothly, and the female police officer didn’t say much, after all, Shen Yuhan is a member of the calligraphy and painting institution, but this kind of thing will happen, calligraphy and painting training institutions also have problems with neglected management.
The female police officer asked Shen Yuhan: “Is the other one also a painting?” She found that the real owner spoke less, and it’s Shan Qihuan who is answering for him.
Shen Yuhan answered her seriously, shook his head and said: “No, it’s calligraphy.”
Assistant Qu said that he didn’t see any calligraphy at the exhibition, it’s unknown what the other party used it for, or was it thrown away because he didn’t think it was useful?
–
After asking a few routine questions, the female police officer said that they would continue to follow up on the case, if the evidence was sufficient, the case would be closed soon, if it is true, they will return the painting to its original owner2物歸原主 (wù guī yuán zhǔ): to return something to its owner; to return something to its rightful owner..
Shan Qihuan then left with Shen Yuhan, leaving the rest to the police.
As soon as they left the police station, a group of reporters rushed up to him, Shan Qihuan’s first reaction was to cover Shen Yuhan’s face.
Shen Yuhan knew that he was protecting himself, so he stayed close to Shan Qihuan, and did whatever his husband said.
The reporters also came after hearing the news.
Just an hour and a half ago, Shan Qihuan was photographed by a reporter at the art exhibition, after the video was posted to Weibo, his face, which often appeared in major news, was immediately recognized by netizens, and they began to uncover the truth of the matter on the spot, and now they are surrounded by reporters.
The reporters were also in a hurry, when they caught Shan Qihuan, they asked gossip: “Mr. Shan, who did you go out to see the art exhibition with today? How is your relationship with your newlywed husband now? I heard you are getting divorced!”
Shan Qihuan didn’t want to answer any of these questions.
In today’s incident, Shen Yuhan is the victim, and Shan Qihuan won’t say much, reporters are the worst at gossiping and distorting facts, give them a word or a look can cause a deluge of heavenly flowers3天花亂墜 (tiān huā luàn zhuì): lit. a deluge of heavenly flowers (idiom); fig. extravagant embellishments; (derogatory) wild boast about something; hype; flowers cascading from the sky—wild boast about sth; Originally referring to a Buddhist priest expounding the Buddhist sutras, so flawless and persuasive that it moved the god of heaven, leading to a deluge of heavenly flowers., they are not celebrities, and they don’t rely on their faces to make a living, silence is the best way to deal with it, and he is also protecting Shen Yuhan.
In the presence of bodyguards, Shen Yuhan was protected by Shan Qihuan, so the reporters only photographed the top of his head, meanwhile, Shan Qihuan didn’t even look at the reporters, and directly got into the car, the bodyguards stood outside the car door, the reporters’ cameras were unable to take advantage of any loopholes, and the car door was quickly closed by the bodyguards, cutting off the reporters’ chirping.
Shen Yuhan sat in the spacious car seat and looked out the window at the reporters chasing the car, wondering what these people were doing.
Reporters are a blind spot in his knowledge.
“They didn’t catch up.” He was frightened, these people looked like refugees trying to get steamed buns while giving alms.
“Don’t be afraid of them catching up, there are bodyguards.” The purpose of leaving bodyguards behind is to help them get rid of the reporters’ tracking, Shan Qihuan didn’t explain much, in his cognition, Shen Yuhan knew that their family was special, and it’s not uncommon for reporters to stare at them.
“Then I’ll run away when I see them next time, it’s a bit scary.” If his husband hadn’t been protecting him just now, he would have been squeezed onto the road by these violent people, how dangerous it would be, it’s scary to think about it. He thought of one of the reporters’ questions again, and couldn’t help but frown and look at Shan Qihuan, “We’re not divorced, why are they talking nonsense?”
“Entertainment reporters are like that, don’t mind them.” Shan Qihuan has long been accustomed to their behavior, he was afraid that Shen Yuhan wanted to be famous, and go up to the reporter to tell the truth, there was nothing he couldn’t say, but he just didn’t want outsiders to disturb their private life, “Just hide from them next time you see them.”
“Um, I understand.” Shen Yuhan decided to listen to his husband.
When their chatting paused for a moment, Assistant Qu interjected and asked them: “Boss, are you going home next or do you have other arrangements?”
With all the commotion with the art exhibition, lunch time has passed, Shan Qihuan had already made a reservation at a Western restaurant near the art exhibition.
Shan Qihuan asked Assistant Qu “Let’s go eat first, is there a restaurant with good steak nearby?”
Assistant Qu said: “There is one, only ten minutes away without traffic jams.”
Shan Qihuan: “Then let’s go.”
Assistant Qu asked again: “Will the bodyguard still follow you this afternoon?”
Shan Qihuan thought about the reporters who came after hearing the news: “Just let them follow from a distance, we’ll go for a walk in the afternoon.”
Although it is not the restaurant that was previously booked, the taste and service level of this steak restaurant are not much different, the surrounding environment is also a bit quieter, and it is not too far from the place where Shan Qihuan will take Shen Yuhan in the afternoon.
It’s already one o’clock in the afternoon.
Shen Yuhan drank some coke before, which contained a bit of sugar, and it lasted for a while, now that this little energy has passed, his stomach started to get hungry. he didn’t eat much in Qi Kingdom, after coming to modern times, he turned into an adult man, and would easily get hungry if he didn’t eat.
After Assistant Qu sent them to the entrance of the restaurant, he went to deal with the matter of Shen Yuhan’s paintings and calligraphy stolen by Huang Quan, it was better not to watch the boss dating, the single dog’s4單身狗 (dān shēn gǒu): lit. single dog; (neologism, slang, often self-deprecatory) single person; singleton; (Internet slang) person who is neither married nor in a relationship (used self-deprecatingly); refers to people who are single or who don’t have a boyfriend or girlfriend. In China, this state is like that of a dog, afraid of being lonely and in need of company. heart felt uncomfortable.
Seeing the steak being served and smelling the food, Shen Yuhan instantly forgot about the troubles he encountered in the morning.
He imitated Shan Qihuan in pouring sauce on the steak, holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and began to cut the meat, he learned quickly, and looked decent. In fact, after his husband said yesterday that he would take him to eat steak, he quietly asked Siri how to eat a steak, and he even practiced on his own in the bathroom without the real objects, so that his husband didn’t find out the loophole today.
He didn’t expect modern people to be so particular about eating meat, he heard from his brothers that the soldiers of Qi Kingdom ate meat directly with their hands, drink alcohol and ate meat with large mouthfuls.
While eating, the sound of violin playing came from next door, Shan Qihuan asked Shen Yuhan: “Do you want to listen to the violin?”
The violin should be a musical instrument, Shen Yuhan is not very familiar with modern musical instruments, another blind spot of knowledge, he mentally memorized the name of this unfamiliar musical instrument.
Shen Yuhan nodded expectantly: “I want to hear it.” He was very curious about everything now, and he dared to answer as long as Shan Qihuan dared to ask.
Shan Qihuan pressed the service bell, and the waiter invited the violinist to come over, he was a young man about the same5不相上下 (bù xiāng shàng xià): to rival one another; to be on a par; to be equally matched; to be about the same; roughly the same; neither is better than the other. age as Shen Yuhan, the other party was wearing a standard tuxedo, Shen Yuhan saw different clothes for the first time, and couldn’t help but take a second look.
“What kind of music would the two gentlemen want to hear?”
“Something gentle will do.” Shan Qihuan noticed that Shen Yuhan had been staring at the pretty boy6小白臉 (xiǎo bái liǎn): lit. little white face; attractive young man (usually derog.); pretty boy; Adonis; gigolo; A term used to describe a young, innocent and good-looking person. It can be used to express admiration or affection for someone, but it can also be used in a derogatory way to describe someone who is considered naive or inexperienced., he was in a bad mood, upon closer inspection, he saw that the performer’s facial features were similar to Shan Qiyun’s, could it be that he still obsessively concerned with Shan Qiyun?
The performer chose 《The Rain7久石讓的《The Rain》 (Jiǔshí Ràng de “The Rain”): Video Link.》 by Joe Hisaishi, which is a piece of music suitable for memories, the prelude is a little sad, but it was only at the end that it became joyful.
Shen Yuhan is currently in a sensitive period, after listening to this music, he can’t help but think of his family, and his heart is blocked, the steak in front of him is no longer so fragrant, his parents have never eaten this kind of fried steak, and this kind of soft mashed potatoes, he wants to take it back for them to try.
After the song was finished, the waiter wished them a pleasant meal and left, however, Shen Yuhan, who was still immersed in memories, couldn’t come out of it, his nose was sour, and he was trying hard not to let his tears fall down.
Shan Qihuan finally knew what Shen Yuhan was thinking, he felt sentimental when listening to the music, but when he thought that he might be thinking of Shan Qiyun while listening to the music, his heart clogged up.
“What are you thinking about? Eat first.”
Shan Qihuan’s inner annoyance came out in his words, and his voice was a little cold.
“I’m not thinking about anything.” Shen Yuhan’s eyes were slightly red, he blinked hard to hold back his tears, and then he was afraid that his husband would misunderstand, so he whispered, “I miss my father a little, my father and my mother.”
Shan Qihuan was still thinking about emotional matters, it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong, one is willing to give a beating, and one is willing to take a beating8一個願打一個願挨 (yī ge yuàn dǎ, yī ge yuàn ái): From the idiom, 周瑜打黃蓋——一個願打，一個願挨 (Zhōu Yú dǎ Huáng Gài, yī ge yuàn dǎ, yī ge yuàn ái), lit.

Zhou Yu wanted Huang Gai, his subordinate, to pretend to defect to Cao Cao‘s side so that Huang Gai could gain Cao Cao’s trust. This allowed Huang Gai to set fire to Cao Cao’s fleet during the Battle of Red Cliffs, forcing Cao Cao to retreat. Zhou Yu had Huang Gai flogged in front of Cao Cao’s spies so that they would not be suspicious., as soon as he heard Shen Yuhan’s words, that bit of displeasure also disappeared.
After putting away all those losses and sentiments, Shen Yuhan concentrated on finishing the steak, it’s not easy to come out, so take advantage of it.
Observing that Shen Yuhan had calmed down on his own, and watching him finish the cream of mushroom soup9奶油蘑菇湯 (nǎi yóu mó gu tāng): Cream of mushroom soup. 
on his plate bit by bit with a spoon, the corner of Shan Qihuan’s mouth that was tense slowly relaxed, and he mentally put this restaurant on his blacklist, how could they make the guests feel uncomfortable!
The next part will be posted tomorrow, sorry. There’s a family emergency & I’m quite exhausted.
