Chapter 589: You… Are the Bird (Update 2)

Glancing at Gan Shaomei’s expression before him, Lin.

Xiao Yu’s face began to take on an intriguing nuance.

These days, that little sister really plays in a flashy manner.

What happened? Aren’t men irresistible anymore?

“Aren’t you curious how I figured it out?”

With a complex look, Xiao Yu glanced at Gan Shaomei and said, “Just because you’re 27 doesn’t mean you understand everything—you haven’t experienced much. Remember when you asked if I believed in love? How did I answer?”

Gan Shaomei frowned.

She recalled the words Xiao Yu had once spoken.

Sometimes, crying out loud isn’t a sign of sorrow, and trembling doesn’t always mean you’re ill.

The faster you brush, the more foam appears… The more you open the tap, the greater the water flow?

Even now, Gan Shaomei still couldn’t decipher the meaning behind Xiao Yu’s words.

“You’ve never been with a man, have you?”

Xiao Yu’s expression turned odd. “Not even many male friends, right?”

Gan Shaomei’s face flushed once more, a flicker of anger emerging.

It confirmed what Xiao Yu had guessed.

A 27-year-old woman is still a very beautiful woman.

Is it normal to have never been with a man?

Well, yes, it’s quite normal.

Some unique girls simply aren’t into men.

Or, for some reason, they just aren’t attracted to them.

Maybe they’ve simply never had the time for a relationship.

Or perhaps environmental factors have led to certain psychological issues.

Take Mu Qingwu, for example; back in 560, she was so wrapped up in business that all her energy went into her career.

Who would have time to look for a boyfriend, until Xiao Yu got incredibly lucky and crossed paths with her…

But then there’s another distinct group of people.

Some may be born this way or become so over time—disliking the opposite sex and preferring the same.

So, how did Xiao Yu figure out that Gan Shaomei doesn’t like men?

First, take a look at himself.

And it’s not just his bragging; women from age eight to eighty admire his looks.

Rarely do young women see him without stealing extra glances.

That attention feels incredible, and it filled him with confidence.

A real man exudes that kind of confidence!

However… that confidence completely failed when it came to this woman.

Ever since their very first meeting.

She remained calm and aloof when she saw him.

She simply didn’t pay him any real attention.

Of course, Xiao Yu wasn’t so conceited as to believe every woman adored him.

But through careful observation, he noticed something off about Gan Shaomei.

Xiao Yu realized that Gan Shaomei was, in fact, still… a girl.

What does that mean?

Chances are, she’s never been with a man!

How did he come to that conclusion?

Admittedly, it’s an unscientific deduction.

Not entirely accurate—it was merely based on experience.

For instance, from an anatomical perspective.

A girl’s way of walking and sitting can reveal if she’s had an active romantic life.

During the transition from girlhood to womanhood, the hip joints and pelvic muscles naturally change.

For a girl, the hips and thighs form one cohesive unit, with a firm closure.

For a woman, the hips naturally loosen, causing a swaying motion as she walks.

This change in gait often results in legs that naturally spread outward.

When sitting, girls typically keep their legs together.

While women usually sit with their legs apart.

Of course, this is only a rough guideline—not 100% accurate.

But in most cases, it holds true…

So, even if Gan Shaomei is still a girl, does it relate to the case?

Yes—there’s Gan Shaomei’s ‘boyfriend’!

According to her colleagues, her boyfriend often picks her up in a Cullinan.

Yet no one has ever actually seen him.

Police investigations revealed a Cullinan registered under the victim, Wen Heyu, usually parked in the lot outside an Apartment Building.

Since his company is close to home, he’d only need to walk for around ten minutes.

Thus, he rarely drove.

In contrast, the victim’s wife, Qi Dandan, was often seen driving out.

(chdj)

That was Xiao Yu’s initial assessment.

He suspected that Gan Shaomei was very likely the lover of the victim, Wen Heyu.

After all, most people wouldn’t expect anything to happen between individuals of the same sex.

But now, something was off.

At 27, Gan Shaomei had no male friends or romantic experience despite her striking looks—she should have plenty of suitors…

Yet in two years, none of the colleagues at the Sales Center had seen any man approach her.

So Xiao Yu boldly ventured a guess and asked.

Her expression confirmed his suspicion.

She actually prefers women!

Gan Shaomei isn’t Wen Heyu’s lover—she’s Qi Dandan’s!

Damn… At that moment, Xiao Yu felt like he was witnessing a scene straight out of a melodrama.

It was as if a 360-degree somersault of chaos had been dumped on his face.

“Before I met you, I never realized I was guilty of judging people by their looks,” he said.

Staring at Gan Shaomei with a bizarre expression and a look of utter consternation, Xiao Yu remarked, “It’s like talent is akin to pregnancy—you only notice it after a while!”

Doesn’t love between the same sex count as genuine love?

Xiao Yu wasn’t discriminatory.

But when love becomes an obsession that leads to murder, that’s an entirely different matter…

That’s a whole other story…

“So, then?”

Gan Shaomei replied coldly, “Even if I love women, so what?”

Xiao Yu squinted and asked, “Oh? Are you about to tell a story?”

“When I was young, I once saved a bird—I didn’t want it to leave me.”

Gan Shaomei coolly looked at Xiao Yu, “But it had wings while I did not. One day, it flew away, circling my yard three times. I wondered if it was reluctant… You might not understand—once, there was a bird that flew three circles for me!”

Xiao Yu furrowed his brows.

What does that mean?

In a normal mind it would go like this: First circle, I stay when you speak; second circle, I take another flight—perhaps you didn’t even notice; third circle, as I leave, I glance back… When it’s not flying, you keep thinking, ‘It has wings and I don’t, so I’ll never catch it. That’s why I didn’t stop it?’

A bird circles three times and departs simply because it has nowhere to land.

A person circles three times and leaves because you didn’t try to hold on.

No, Gan Shaomei’s tone was off.

Xiao Yu’s thoughts raced.

Could it be interpreted that way?

There was a dog that lingered around her for three whole years.

But in the end, the dog, unable to be tamed, ran off with someone else.

I long for the days when I was pure and unblemished, and I despise how obvious I’ve become now… Xiao Yu fell silent.

Is that why you’d wipe out an entire family—even sparing the unborn?

No, that can’t be right—there must have been more to it.

A woman like Gan Shaomei is far too composed.

If we assume she committed the crime…

A woman so calm wouldn’t still harbor such deep hatred.

She would never be capable of committing such an act.

Unless…

Xiao Yu suddenly widened his eyes, staring blankly at the ice-cold Gan Shaomei before him.

“You… Are the bird?!”
