178: Should I confess my feelings to Zhang Yu?

Then.

Zhang Yu saw Su Mei running straight towards him.

Her steps halted when she was only half a meter away.

After a second of hesitation, she extended her arms and hugged him.

With a 'thump'.

The action was somewhat sudden, and Zhang Yu couldn't help but wonder.

“No, why are you still charging with the ball?”

He could clearly feel that Su Mei was hiding her assets quite well.

Before he could speak, she released her arms again.

She prepared to head towards the helicopter, rejoining her team.

Leaving Zhang Yu somewhat disoriented on the deck.

What did Su Mei mean by that? Was she teasing him?

Or was she trying to play hard to get?

“Just you wait, I'll take care of you eventually.”

He didn't think much of it.

He only heard the system's voice ring out at this moment.

“Congratulations, host, Su Mei's star rating has reached full stars!”

“Holy moly.”

Upon hearing the prompt, Zhang Yu quickly opened the system and examined it carefully.

Indeed, Su Mei had reached the full 10 stars.

The system's operating mechanism truly had a pattern to it.

Specific people and specific events would produce specific influences.

She works in Criminal Investigation.

Therefore, the more assistance she provides in this area, the easier it is to level up her stars.

Other things, like singing and dancing or playing basketball, didn't provide much star-leveling benefit.

With another full star achieved, he couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's full-star buff Blind Box even more.

Zhang Yu exited the system and then looked ahead.

He saw a helicopter steadily land on the deck.

Several fully armed police officers disembarked and stood on both sides of the path.

Su Mei and several plainclothes police officers escorted the sole surviving wanted criminal onto the helicopter.

Subsequently.

The helicopter took off again.

Zhang Yu looked up, but it wasn't very clear in the night sky.

Su Mei sat by the window.

Watching the deck get further and further away, she couldn't help but wave.

She knew Zhang Yu couldn't see her, but she waved for a long time before stopping.

An indescribable sense of sorrow welled up in her heart, as if a part of her had been dug out.

“Su Mei, it seems you're a bit reluctant to part with Zhang Yu.”

The Captain noticed and then laughed.

“No, no.” Facing the Captain's teasing, her first reaction was to deny it.

“Ahem, it's nothing. We've all been there,” the Captain chuckled. “If you like him, just tell him directly. Your family background is good, and your job is excellent. How many girls in all of Jiangcheng are more outstanding than you?”

“Captain, please stop teasing me,” Su Mei truly lacked confidence.

Besides.

She had also personally witnessed her best friend, Lu Hanxiao, having an intimate relationship with Zhang Yu, and they even lived in the same house.

Could they already be deeply in love?

If she were to jump in now, would it be, perhaps, bad timing?

She had no dating experience and had been very protected as a child. So, for the first time encountering someone she liked, she truly didn't know how to handle it.

Although she was over 20 years old, she was still a blank slate emotionally, even less experienced than some students.

“I think Zhang Yu is indeed very excellent. If you don't act fast, he might be snatched away by someone else. I think we can talk to Director Su about it later.”

The Captain smiled, “To be honest, I also have a daughter who will come of age in the second half of this year. I can't help but want to recommend her myself.”

“Huh?”

Su Mei was stunned. Could it really be like that?

Even an eighteen-year-old daughter was being pushed out?

At the same time, a sense of crisis did indeed arise in her heart.

The two emotions intertwined, truly leaving her flustered.

She was about to say something.

She glanced out the window.

She noticed something was amiss, and her brows furrowed.

The massive, brightly lit Tianhe Cruise Ship in her line of sight had become as small as a truck.

However, not far away.

Su Mei saw three small bright spots, constantly bobbing up and down due to the seawater.

Those bright spots were less than a nautical mile from the cruise ship.

And they were moving rapidly.

Their direction was... the Tianhe Cruise Ship.

“Oh no!” Su Mei couldn't help but cry out.
