A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times-Chapter 172: (Su Mo) Fulfilled one’s wish.

The next morning, Bai Yichen was unusually the last one to arrive at the police station.

Everyone else was surprised to see him come in so late.

However, Bai Yichen seemed to be in a good mood, and greeted everyone in a rare friendly way, “Morning everyone!” 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝔩.𝔠𝖔𝔪

For a moment, no one reacted.

“Morning, Captain Bai! You’re really early today!” Xiao Xu blurted out jokingly.

The others quickly caught on and echoed, “Morning Captain Bai!”

Bai Yichen gave them a faint smile and went into his office. The others hurried over excitedly.

“Isn't Captain Bai acting really out of character today?”

“He actually smiled at us!”

“Xiao Xu, what did you and Captain Bai do at the bar last night? Did something happen?”

“We didn't do anything! We just...sat there until late at night!” Xiao Xu looked completely innocent.

“Haven't you all noticed?” A female officer suddenly spoke up.

“Noticed what?”

“Captain Bai has several marks on his neck! I'm guessing they must be...hickeys!”

“What?!” They all cried out in surprise.

“Shhh...keep your voices down! If you look closely later, you'll see!”

...

Bai Yichen entered his office. Officer Tan was sitting inside and glanced up at him, asking casually, “Why did you come in so late today?”

“Slept in.”

“...” Officer Tan looked at Bai Yichen suspiciously.

He slept in?? He actually slept in??

“Oh right, I might need to take some time off in the next few days. Please take care of any cases that come up.” Bai Yichen sat down and suddenly said.

Officer Tan was very surprised. “You want time off?? You actually want time off?? What are you going to do??”

Bai Yichen had always been busy like a spinning top, almost never taking time off. Even when sick, he wouldn't take sick leave. If you told him to rest, he wouldn't rest. When not working on cases, he'd be training martial arts!

“I have some personal matters.” Bai Yichen looked up at him. “But you can call me if there's anything you can't handle.”

“What personal matters??” He was truly curious what personal matters Bai Yichen could have.

Bai Yichen paused before saying, “Matters of lifelong importance.”

Officer Tan was confused for a moment. “What lifelong matters?”

“What do you think?” Bai Yichen asked back.

Only then did Officer Tan catch on, reacting in disbelief. “You...you have a girlfriend?!”

“Mm.” Bai Yichen simply murmured in agreement.

Officer Tan opened and closed his mouth. He immediately went over to Bai Yichen's desk and asked again, “You really have a girlfriend now??”

Bai Yichen patiently answered again, “Yes, I have a girlfriend now.”

Only now did Officer Tan notice the faint marks on Bai Yichen's neck up close.

He hurriedly pulled at Bai Yichen's collar, and was shocked to see several purple marks on it.

As a married man, Officer Tan naturally knew what those were.

He had actually tried matchmaking his cousin with Bai Yichen before, but Bai Yichen was like a monk!

“You...” Officer Tan pointed at him. “You...are you trying to scare all of us to death?!”

Bai Yichen touched his neck. He had actually noticed the marks on his neck already this morning, but he hadn't minded too much. They were left by Su Mo last night. Not just his neck, but his chest too.

“What's wrong? Is there a problem?” Bai Yichen asked back.

“No problem!” Officer Tan gave him a thumbs up. “Your girlfriend's got skills!”

Bai Yichen smiled silently, suddenly thinking of what happened last night.

That kind of unprecedented bliss made him lose control.

And Su Mo had matched him very well too. It was as if they had great tacit understanding, so...they went a bit overboard.

“Hey hey, what's with that smile?” Officer Tan teased. “You looking normal with a straight face is more, well, normal!”

Bai Yichen just laughed softly. “It won't be long before I invite you to our wedding banquet.”

“...Isn't your relationship moving a bit too fast?!”

Bai Yichen smiled without responding.

Too fast? But to him, they had already missed out on a lifetime together.

...

At noon, Bai Yichen did not eat at the police station. As soon as he came out, everyone ogled him curiously.

Bai Yichen gave them a look, but didn't say anything. He left the police station.

"Ahhh, it's true, Captain Bai really has hickeys on his neck!"

"Heavens, isn't Captain Bai supposed to be a monk?!"

"Ahem..." Officer Tan came out and interrupted them. "Alright, stop gossiping. Captain Bai said he'll treat us to his wedding banquet soon!"

"What? A wedding banquet?" They were shocked. "So who is it that made this monk Bai return to secular life?!"

"Well...I really want to know too!" Officer Tan laughed.

Instead of going straight home, Bai Yichen stopped by the supermarket downstairs first and bought a bunch of women's personal care products.

When he got back to the apartment, Su Mo was still asleep. Bai Yichen put the things down and went into the bedroom.

He sat at the bedside and brushed the hair from Su Mo's face, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Mo Mo...you're mine now."

Hearing the voice, Su Mo groggily and slowly opened her eyes.

"Awake?"

"Mm..." Su Mo rubbed her eyes, her voice a little hoarse. "Yichen, you're up?"

Even in her groggy state, Su Mo had not forgotten Bai Yichen asking her last night as they were making love, "Mo Mo, that assassin Wu Ying is dead now. From now on, call me Yichen, okay?"

Seeing her adorably disoriented look, Bai Yichen smiled. "It's already noon, time for lunch. Hungry?"

Su Mo stretched lazily and sat up.

Bai Yichen's gaze unconsciously fell on her chest, noticing quite a few marks on it too. He couldn't help swallowing.

Last night, she had slept wearing Bai Yichen's shirt, since she had no change of clothes. And she wore nothing underneath, so it was skin on skin.

Su Mo had an excellent figure, curvy in all the right places. So it was very noticeable.

Although they had been intimate last night already, seeing this scene now, Bai Yichen reacted instantly.

"Mm...my body feels a little sore..." Su Mo moved her waist. After all, she was a martial artist, so her body wasn't completely wrecked.

Bai Yichen swiftly pulled her into his arms. "Mo Mo, don't seduce me."

"Ah? I'm not seducing you right now."

Although she was the one who seduced him last night, Su Mo was also worn out from their lovemaking. She didn't want to go another round now.

Su Mo hugged his waist and looked up at him with a smile, eyebrows raised. "Bai Yichen, you're quite formidable!"

The corner of Bai Yichen's mouth curved up. "Miss Su Mo, you're not bad yourself."

Su Mo laughed and kissed his lips.

Bai Yichen instantly pressed her down onto the bed, kissing her deeply as his hands roamed under the shirt she wore.

"Mm...Yichen, what are you doing?" Su Mo tried to push him away.

Bai Yichen looked at her, desire in his eyes. "Mo Mo, you started this fire."

"All I did was give you a little kiss. Don't you have strong self-control?" Su Mo retorted. She really was worn out from last night and didn't want more right now.

"I told you, I can make my self-control not so strong." Bai Yichen's hands started wandering with a mind of their own.

Now that he'd gotten a taste of sweetness, why would he hold back?

Su Mo's body went limp and she quickly said, "But I'm hungry! I didn't eat dinner last night or breakfast today!"

Bai Yichen paused and sighed. He got up from her. "Alright, let's get up first. I'll take you out for a meal."

Su Mo smiled victoriously and promptly got out of bed. "Okay, I'll go change now!"

After changing, Su Mo noticed the many products Bai Yichen bought in the living room.

"Why did you buy so much stuff?"

"Aren't you going to live here from now on?"

Su Mo laughed drily twice, "Hehe, didn't I say I would move out after I found an apartment?"

Bai Yichen moved closer to her and teased, "Mo Mo, do you think you can hide your little thoughts from me?"

"......" Su Mo was a little embarrassed and glared at him.

"So you had already seen through it?" Su Mo asked unhappily.

"Yes, but..." Bai Yichen hugged her and said, "I also want to stay with you. Even if you want to move out, I won't let you move out."

"Humph! That's more like it!" Su Mo deliberately said.

"Alright, let's go out and eat first. Aren't you hungry?" Bai Yichen said indulgently.

"Okay~"

The two of them left the apartment building together and entered a nearby restaurant where they got a private room.

He knew Su Mo liked spicy food, so he ordered some Sichuan cuisine.

"Are you already so proficient in eating spicy food?" Su Mo laughed and couldn't help but think of Bai Yichen's first time eating spicy food.

"Of course, I've been here for more than ten years already." Bai Yichen said.

Su Mo was stunned and asked in surprise, "You've been here for over ten years? What exactly is going on?"

Bai Yichen looked at her and said, "Speaking of which, I find it a bit incredible myself. We came here thirteen years ago when I was only 12 years old."

"What?!"

"After I died, it was as if I had a dream. When I woke up, I realized I had reincarnated thirteen years ago. At that time, I had just met Xiao Zimo, and I discovered that Xiao Zimo had also reincarnated with his memories."

"Could it be...all four of you reincarnated to more than ten years ago?"

Bai Yichen nodded, "Yes, Xiao Zimo and I went to Miao Territory to find Gu Zhi, and went to Feng Family Village to find Hua Wuyou, before we realized they had also reincarnated. So we easily found the treasure map, and then...we just wanted to try it out, but didn't expect that once the treasure map was assembled, we would come here."

Su Mo was surprised and immediately asked, "All four of you came? Then where are the other three now?"

Bai Yichen hesitated, "When we came here, we were only a little over ten years old, and didn't have an identity or money. We were brought to an orphanage. I was the first to be adopted by the Bai family. They were also adopted later, but at the beginning we didn't have cell phones, so we lost contact."

"So you also don't know where they are now?" Su Mo quickly asked.

"I only know that Hua Wuyou should have become a celebrity. I saw him on a billboard on the street. Xiao Zimo seems to have gone abroad. As for Gu Zhi, he was the youngest so he should still be in college."

Su Mo digested Bai Yichen's words, feeling somewhat incredulous. "Do you know that we actually only crossed over to your world a few days ago? We spent eight months there, but when we came back, only eight hours had passed!"

Bai Yichen was also a bit surprised. "So...you guys actually only met us a few days ago?"

Su Mo nodded, "Yes, so I was so heartbroken when I saw you."

"No wonder... Hua Wuyou has been a celebrity for so long, yet Xia Miao Miao never went to find him. Turns out you didn't know us before."

Su Mo reached out and held his hand, smiling at him, "No matter if we knew each other before or not, at least now we know each other, and we'll never separate again in this lifetime!"

Bai Yichen was stunned, warmth filling his heart as he held her hand in return.

He suddenly took out a ring from his pocket and put it on Su Mo's ring finger, going down on one knee as he looked at her affectionately, "Mo Mo, marry me."

There was no grand proposal or wasted effort on extravagant settings, but this simple yet sincere surprise brought tears to Su Mo's eyes.

Bai Yichen had never been one to waste things frivolously, but his love ran deep, evident through his actions, just like his detective persona, giving people a great sense of security.

"You...propose to me so casually? Do you know about my family circumstances? Aren't you afraid my parents won't agree?" Su Mo choked back a sob.

"No matter what your family situation is like, I want to marry you. Mo Mo, I will definitely get your parents to accept me."

Su Mo held his face in both hands, laughing through teary eyes, "I accept, in this lifetime I, Su Mo, will only marry you, Bai Yichen!"

Bai Yichen hugged her tightly.

In this lifetime, his wishes had finally come true.

He had come to this peaceful world and lived the life of an ordinary person, with a foster father who treated him well and a brother he got along with. He had pursued the career he wanted.

Most importantly, he was with the person he loved most.

No regrets in this life.

...

Bai Yichen got off work today and started his vacation, planning to take Su Mo back to meet his father.

Early this morning, Bai's Father had called him already. He told Bai's Father that he was indeed in a relationship and planned to marry the other person.

Bai's Father was naturally overjoyed, after all his two sons had yet to date anyone, and he was getting on in years and wanted grandchildren.

Bai's Father had adopted Bai Yichen in his forties, when Bai Zhan was around ten years old as well, just a year younger than Bai Yichen.

Bai's Father had always funded the orphanage. During one visit there, a wooden structure collapsed and Bai Yichen happened to save him. He felt it was fated to meet Bai Yichen and upon asking, found out he was also surnamed Bai.

So Bai's Father happily adopted him, and treated him and Bai Zhan equally without favoritism.

Bai Zhan really liked this older brother, looking up to him a lot, because he was amazing at fighting. Bai Zhan followed Bai Yichen around all the time.

After adopting Bai Yichen, the Bai family business prospered even more, and Bai Zhan became more obedient. Bai's Father felt it was because adopting Bai Yichen had brought him blessings, and treated Bai Yichen even better, like his own son.

Originally Bai's Father wanted Bai Yichen to join the company, but he didn't seem interested in business, insisting on becoming a policeman. Bai's Father respected his choice.

With one brother a policeman and the other running the company, it was probably the best arrangement.

...

In the afternoon, Su Mo waited in the apartment for Bai Yichen to get off work and told her sisters about him and the other three crossing over.

The sisters were quite surprised, and happy amidst their surprise.

It was just that they didn't know where the others were now, only that the celebrity Lao Hua should be Hua Wuyou.

Su Mo asked Xia Miao Miao if she wanted to look for him. Xia Miao Miao searched online and found out Hua Wuyou had gone abroad for a commercial shoot these days, so they could only wait until the talent agency came to school to recruit trainees after the school term started, and hopefully see him then.

As for Gu Zhi and Xiao Zimo, their whereabouts were still unknown.
