She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Ah Chen noticed Lu Yan’s face inadvertently turning a bit red and appearing slightly uncomfortable. Instead of saying more, she invited him to have a meal together.

”Consider it a thank you to Brother Lu for helping me get this great job.”

Lu Yan’s face gradually returned to normal as he sincerely said, ”It’s your outstanding ability. Even without my help, you’d secure a good job with your skills.”

Talents like Jiang Chen never miss an opportunity when it arises. It was his good fortune to have met her.

Ah Chen loved hearing such words.

It’s just a job; she indeed didn’t need to invest much effort to get it.

Jiang Maochuan and his wife didn’t say much. The little sister had her own ideas. In front of Lu Yan, they couldn’t say much either, planning to discuss Lu Yan with the little sister after dinner.

Anyone working here must be a good comrade. And this person exudes righteousness and can’t be too bad.

During dinner, Jiang Maochuan couldn’t help but chat more with Lu Yan and inquired a bit about his situation. Lu Yan wasn’t foolish either; his work was quite special, and he immediately noticed the change in Jiang Maochuan’s eyes, though he pretended not to.

But this time, he was very nervous.

It was evident Jiang Maochuan was scrutinizing him.

He didn’t hide his thoughts about Jiang Chen much.

It’s just that he had been extremely busy lately and couldn’t spare time for this.

Not until he resolved the case at hand did he finally relax a bit. With Jiang Chen’s help, it went smoother than expected. Otherwise, he truly wouldn’t know how long it’d take to catch the person.

His words about Jiang Chen’s capability were no mere compliment.

She not only drew the fleeing suspect’s portrait but also simulated various hairstyles and disguises, including the possibility of dressing like a woman.

Most related personnel can only draw a large head portrait of the suspect.

But Jiang Chen drew the whole person, including a variety of details.

As long as the narrator remembers, she can even roughly restore their hands and other features.

This time a suspect had disguised as a woman. Although the resemblance wasn’t perfect to Jiang Chen’s simulation, her colleague instantly grew alert upon seeing the drawing and rushed to knock the suspect down. Disguised, that woman was indeed the suspect.

According to his colleague, when the suspect was brought back, they asked how he was discovered, believing his disguise was flawless since he had a slim figure, fair skin, and looked convincingly as a woman, barely showing any male traits.

Jiang Maochuan was inquiring, and Ah Chen didn’t intervene much.

It was Liu Yujia who nudged Jiang Maochuan to focus on eating seriously.

Even so, Lu Yan still felt nervous to the point of sweating heavily.

After the meal, Ah Chen took Jiang Maochuan and his wife for a stroll around the county town. The couple planned to buy some things. Lu Yan, having no immediate matters to tend to, accompanied them the whole time.

Once the couple was sent to the bus station, Lu Yan went to the restroom, providing Jiang Maochuan an opportunity to speak with Ah Chen.

”Sis, Lu Yan seems to have feelings for you. What do you think?”

Ah Chen smiled and asked, ”What do you think of him, brother?”

”Pretty good.” Jiang Maochuan truly couldn’t find anything negative to say, ”Do you have some feelings for him too?”

Previously, whenever a matchmaker tried, little sister would smile and send them away. But with Lu Yan, she didn’t show any intention of refusal and allowed him to accompany them the whole time, wasn’t that obvious?

”I do.” Ah Chen did not intend to hide it, ”I’ll observe carefully, don’t worry brother.”

”Alright, I know you have your own ideas, so I won’t say much. You handle it.” Jiang Maochuan complimented again, ”He truly is good.”

Liu Yujia spoke up, ”But he seems very busy.”

”Though if you two are compatible, everything else can be managed.” She added, finding someone who’s both emotionally compatible and has good looks and character isn’t easy.

”Brother, sis-in-law, you don’t need to worry, I know.” Ah Chen reassured the two, handing them the items she held, ”You should head back. Since you’re planning to have kids, take good care of your health, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid second-hand smoke. Tell dad to quit smoking, if he can’t, then smoke further away to not affect the family’s health.”

This matter had slipped her mind. Next vacation, she’ll certainly remind Jiang Aiguo.

Jiang Aiguo is a chronic smoker, and smoking near Chen Xiuying affects her quite a bit.

The couple found it amusing yet nodded repeatedly.

Dad now listens to the little sister the most. As long as they say the little sister suggested it, he’ll surely comply.

Once the couple got on the bus, Lu Yan returned.

Actually, he realized Jiang Maochuan wanted to say something to Jiang Chen, so he used the restroom as an excuse.

Ah Chen noticed this too, clearly showing his aptitude for his profession.

On the way back, Lu Yan went to buy some fruit.

Arriving outside Ah Chen’s dormitory, Lu Yan handed her the fruit: ”I noticed you liked eating this before.”

It’s his first time pursuing a girl, unsure if this approach works, his heart almost leapt out in tension, more nervous than catching criminals. For him, remembering someone’s preferences is easy, especially for someone he cares about.

Even though they haven’t spent much time together, he remembered everything she revealed during their brief interactions.

”Brother Lu has a good memory.” Ah Chen didn’t ask why and accepted the fruit.

Wasn’t it obvious?

Fruits are rare commodities these days; who’d casually gift them?

Lu Yan relaxed internally, simultaneously feeling joy rise within.

There are indeed others interested in Jiang Chen, some even wanting to introduce a match for her, but she’s turned them all down. At the time, he was responsible for reviewing Jiang Chen’s situation and heard that matchmakers almost broke Jiang Family’s doorstep.

Thinking about it now, he still felt a bit tense.

”You should head inside. Today was tiring.” Lu Yan said, although he wished to see her always, there’s ample time ahead, today she walked around a lot, surely exhausted.

”Is Brother Lu less busy now?” She inquired.

Lu Yan nodded, ”That previous case is solved, so not busy for the moment.”

Finally has time to pursue the girl he likes.

Ah Chen wasn’t tired, yet she noticed the fatigue on Lu Yan’s face, likely due to insufficient rest lately.

”Okay, Brother Lu, go home and rest early.” She said.

Lu Yan, being observant, immediately sensed her thoughts, feeling indescribable emotions internally, mostly joy.

Upon returning to the dorm, while looking in the mirror, Lu Yan fell silent for a moment, considering today’s appearance quite lacking.

Lately, he indeed hasn’t looked as good as before; hadn’t had time to shave, and dark circles appear under his eyes. Lu Yan felt somewhat worried.

After a night’s rest, he immediately checked the mirror, shaving yesterday, and today he was energized, feeling much more satisfied.

Arriving at the station, Lu Yan quickly found Ah Chen already at her post, placing a box of milk before her, looking far more comfortable than the previous day.
