“Of course it’s not a problem!” Li Xiaofeng agreed readily.
“Oh right, Chu He, don’t forget about tonight! We have an appointment with the anti-vice team to hold a welcome party for you. The funds are limited, so we can’t go to a high-class hotel. Let’s have a little beer at the barbecue stall and get to know each other.”
Chu He nodded. “Okay.”
When she was almost done eating, she greeted a few people, stood up, placed her plates into the collection basin, and left. Li Xiaofeng was still staring at her back view obsessively, unable to take his eyes off her!
A young police officer waved his hand in front of Li Xiaofeng before the latter finally looked away and said impatiently, “What is it?”
“We ought to be the ones asking you what it is! You keep staring at her!”
“That’s right, Captain. Look at you, you keep staring at her. You might as well run after her?”
“Captain, you’re obviously in love! How does it feel? Isn’t love sweet?”
“Get lost.” Li Xiaofeng chided them. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Hey! Stop trying to cover up! We can all tell that you like the lady!”
The others started to chime in.
“People can lie, but the look in your eyes can’t!”
“Every time Chu He appears, it’s as if you’ve lost your soul! No matter how weak our eyesight is, it’s obvious to us!”
Li Xiaofeng blushed and used his chopsticks to poke around his rice, too embarrassed to say anything.
“If you like her, then go for her! Woo her, why are you hesitating!”
“That’s right. If you dilly-dally, she might become someone else’s!”
“Eh? Doesn’t Chu He have a partner?”
someone suddenly asked.
Li Xiaofeng replied immediately, “No.”
“Captain, did you ask her?”
“Well, I asked her yesterday. She said she was single.”
“Wow! Captain, you act fast! To think we were worried about you!”
“That’s right. Captain, you’re an old bachelor. We were rather anxious for you, thinking that perhaps you didn’t know how to woo girls.”
Li Xiaofeng snapped, “Just don’t be a burden to me. You guys are always up to no good, being particularly enthusiastic with things that have nothing to do with work.”
“How are we being particularly enthusiastic?!”
“Exactly! This concerns our captain’s life event.”
“She’s so beautiful and capable. She might not be interested in me,” Li Xiaofeng said sadly. “If she has no interest in me, it’s pointless for you guys to be so enthusiastic.”
“Chasing a woman, chasing a woman, what does that mean? If you don’t need to hit it off, what’s the point of chasing? Captain, don’t worry about this, just focus on the chase. We’re all behind you!”
Li Xiaofeng was both exasperated and amused. “Alright already! Hurry up and finish your food.”
…
In fact, it was no secret that Li Xiaofeng was interested in Chu He. Other than Chu He, the entire anti-vice team knew about it. However, given that Chu He was particularly ignorant in this aspect, she only thought that Li Xiaofeng was overly concerned about her as a senior.
Before she got off work that night, Li Xiaofeng reminded her of the event. Chu He repeated, “Yes I’ve made a note of it!”
After she took Baby Chu home to the Gu family residence, she kept him company doing some craft homework.
