The field exercise went quite smoothly, as it was just a matter of getting into the rhythm, no formal conversation required.
When it ended, Su Yue let out a long sigh of relief.
"I'm leaving now, I promised to take the kids out tonight," Bai Li Qing patted Su Yue.
"Alright, Teacher Bai Li."
"Um, that," Bai Li Qing suddenly lowered her voice, glancing towards the rest pavilion, "Why are you youngsters letting your conflicts drag on for so many days? Take advantage of the weekend and have a good talk."
Su Yue froze for a moment, then gave a wry smile, "Yeah, have a good talk."
Then she watched Bai Li Qing leave.
Only then did she walk back towards the rest pavilion.
Director Zhao and the other police officers were gone, leaving only Director Chen, who wore his mask of aloofness.
Su Yue knew him too well.
He was cold on the surface, all to entice her into teasing him. Who knew how outwardly reserved yet inwardly lewd he might be.
"Director Chen." Upon entering, she followed her usual routine, locking the door and drawing the curtains, then expertly threw herself into his arms, lifted her head, and called him in a sweet, coy voice.
She saw his Adam's apple bob.
Yet he still responded with a cold hum, just like before.
"Are you looking forward to being on TV together?" Su Yue didn't care about his attitude, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled.
The man's gaze was calm, and he replied, "Looking forward to what? Looking forward to you flattering me in front of the cameras and then running off afterwards?"
Su Yue: ???
Was he subtly accusing her of leaving without a word?
Still, it was good that he could retort. It seemed his mood wasn't too bad.
"I'm not running away. I'll wait for you to get off work and take you home, okay?" She smiled even more sweetly.
She also pressed her body closer to him.
The man's eyes grew darker, his voice laced with a hint of hoarseness, "Didn't I tell you to have some self-respect earlier?"
"When was that? When I first kissed you?" Su Yue pondered, then asked.
Before he could answer, she tightened her arms around his waist, tilted her face up, and asked with an innocent expression.
"Why should I have self-respect? I just want to sleep with you, don't you know that, hmm?"
Chen Zi Ming: ...
"I told you not to take shortcuts." He avoided her gaze.
Su Yue looked at his deliberately stern face and his forced air of abstinence, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Chen Zi Ming frowned, remaining silent.
"Do you have to endure it like this? Don't you want to? Hmm? Do you want to?" she asked with an innocent expression.
She then added, "Don't worry, you'll still have to coax me. Sleeping with you won't change anything, hmm?"
There was no reply, and the air fell silent for a moment.
The man looked down at her. Though not obvious, Su Yue could tell his expression had softened slightly.
But he still wouldn't agree.
"No."
He wouldn't listen to her this time. If he gave in once, it would be like before, and she'd have him trapped again. Sleeping with her would definitely bring about a change.
"Oh." The girl in his arms showed a hint of disappointment. "Then can Director Chen treat me to a meal?"
Before he could speak, she preemptively pouted, "I'm hungry. I want to eat the food from the place you first took me to."
She was referring to that private kitchen, whose owner's name was An Ran.
He still didn't answer immediately. He looked at her for two more seconds and couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
"The water in England must have been too hard, it's made your skin thicker."
Su Yue: ...
"Just say if you like it. You like it, right? That's all that matters, isn't it?"
Pouting and showing vulnerability were always effective.
As expected, the man couldn't resist her persistent cooing. The corners of his lips curved up slightly, but he immediately pressed them together.
"Get out, I need to change."
"Why should I get out? Haven't I seen you in all sorts of states?" she whined, looking at him with pleading eyes. "Let me take a look, are the muscles still there?"
Chen Zi Ming gave her a glare, but this time he didn't refuse.
"If you don't let go, how can I take it off?"
She finally released him, leaning against the table, her arms propped behind her, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her.
He began to unbutton his police uniform again.
That was the most tempting and sexy thing about him.
A faint blush crept onto Su Yue's face.
Beneath his shirt, he wore a form-fitting tank top, revealing the well-defined muscles of his arms and the hints of chest and abdominal muscles hidden beneath.
Chen Zi Ming cast a timely glance at her, seeing the blushing girl, and his mood suddenly improved.
He took his jacket from the locker and put it on.
"Hey..." Su Yue was about to ask why he wasn't taking off the tank top.
But he cut her off with a sentence.
"Wipe your drool, let's go."
