Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Officer Lin
Lin Qiong truly went all out this ti, even agreeing to such a thing. However, for a girl like her who hadn’t even had a boyfriend before, the thought of Li Yifei bullying her filled her with such sha and embarrassnt that she wished she could crawl into a hole and disappear.
Li Yifei agreed to do this for Lin Qiong partly because of her sense of justice, and partly because he found the matter increasingly amusing—even more so than pretending to be Xu Yingying’s boyfriend. Seeing Lin Qiong agree, he imdiately cleared his throat and said, "Officer Lin, there’s sothing else I need to remind you."
"What is it?" Lin Qiong was already sowhat numb to the situation. She knew that whatever Li Yifei was about to remind her would embarrass her, but she still briskly asked.
"You’ve never had a boyfriend before, right?"
"No!"
"Then you definitely haven’t had any intimate interactions with other n?"
Lin Qiong said irritably, "Nonsense. I haven’t even had a boyfriend, so how would I have been intimate with anyone?"
"Exactly, since you lack experience in this area, we can’t just improvise when we et your parents, can we? Shouldn’t we... practice... practice in advance?"
"What? We even have to practice this?" Lin Qiong’s eyes widened in anger and embarrassnt.
"This... I’m just giving you a heads-up. I’ve agreed to help you, and of course, I want to make sure we do this perfectly to avoid any slip-ups. I should be fine with improvising, as I have a girlfriend and I’ve been with quite a few won before. If you’re confident you can pull it off on the spot, then there’s no problem."
Lin Qiong’s face contorted with discomfort at Li Yifei’s words, which made her extrely uncomfortable. Her inexperience in having a boyfriend was now an embarrassing issue, while the fact that Li Yifei, that jerk, had been with so many won seed to be a point of pride for him.
Even though she was angry, Lin Qiong, as a police officer, still had a good ability to analyze situations. She felt that Li Yifei made a valid point. On the job, she could quickly get into character to deal with criminals, but facing her parents while feeling guilty and having to act out a romantic relationship was another story. With a grit of her teeth, she threw her head back, closed her eyes, and resigned herself to fate, saying, "Fine! Let’s do it."
But after a long wait, Li Yifei did nothing to her. Opening her eyes, Lin Qiong saw Li Yifei staring at her like an idiot, which made her angrily exclaim, "Have you gone stupid? Didn’t I tell you to just do it?"
Li Yifei seed to shiver with fright, shaking his head vigorously before saying with a bitter smile, "Officer Lin, when you... just now when you said ’co on’... what did you an by that?"
Lin Qiong felt infuriated. This guy hadn’t understood her, and now she had to spell it out clearly. But at this point, she had no choice but to say through gritted teeth, "Isn’t it just a kiss? I’m telling you to kiss ."
Li Yifei had a face full of dismay and said, "Officer Lin, aren’t you being a bit silly? Could it be that you think intimacy between a couple is nothing more than kissing and sleeping together?"
"What else is there?" Lin Qiong asked, sowhat bewildered at this point.
Li Yifei widened his eyes and said, "Officer Lin, I an, it’s one thing that you’ve never been in a relationship, but can’t you even tell how others date?"
Lin Qiong blinked her large eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering as the corner of her mouth twitched slightly before she said, "I get it, does it an we have to seem closer in every aspect, like holding hands or
linking arms with you?"
"Now you’re finally catching on. With all the young couples you see on the streets, if you can’t even notice that, then I really don’t know what to say to you."
Lin Qiong, sowhat embarrassed, but quickly said, "What’s the big deal? It’s just that, how hard can it be?"
"You sure you can really do it?" Li Yifei’s face was full of disbelief.
Lin Qiong got a bit irritated and said, "Then let’s try and see if it works, shall we?"
"Alright, let’s try then. But let
make it clear beforehand, I’m not doing this to take advantage of you." Li Yifei emphasized this point, having only just resolved an earlier issue about taking advantage of Lin Qiong. He didn’t want to stir up another one and regret it later.
"Relax, I know you’re not trying to take advantage of . Just quit your dawdling and co on like a man," said Lin Qiong as she stood up.
Li Yifei also stood up, grinning at Lin Qiong, who glared at him before reaching out and grabbing his hand. Then, she extended her arm and wrapped it around his, saying, "See? That was easy, wasn’t it?"
Li Yifei’s expression was a mix of laughter and bitterness. "Does your house have a mirror? Let’s go take a look."
Lin Qiong frowned slightly and asked, "Did I do sothing wrong?"
"You’ll see for yourself."
Not willing to accept fault, Lin Qiong felt that she had held Li Yifei’s hand and embraced his arm, which should suffice as a typical couple’s behavior.
As they arrived before the mirror, Lin Qiong scrutinized their reflection and instantly saw what was wrong. Her hand was holding Li Yifei’s, but it was neither interlocked nor fully enveloped in his; it resembled a handshake between colleagues. While she had wrapped her arm around his, their arms rely created a pose without really touching. They lacked any sense of intimacy.
"See the problem now?" Li Yifei asked, struggling to hold back his laughter.
Lin Qiong gave Li Yifei a disdainful look and said, "I see it now. I’ll adjust again; this ti it will definitely work."
"Mhm." Li Yifei was in no hurry, finding it not only thrilling but also imnsely enjoyable to be tutoring Officer Lin like this.
Lin Qiong took a deep breath, then held hands with Li Yifei in front of the mirror. Li Yifei interlocked his fingers tightly with hers, and Lin Qiong didn’t refuse. Next, she looped her arm through Li Yifei’s, their arms touching.
"How’s that? I told you it was easy," said Lin Qiong, smiling proudly at their reflection in the mirror.
Li Yifei curled his lips in disdain at Lin Qiong’s reflection and said, "You’re far off. If we were just starting out in a relationship, such an action might barely pass, but rember, we’re about to get married. This makes it seem too unfamiliar."
"What? This isn’t good enough?" Lin Qiong’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Li Yifei nodded firmly, saying, "Of course not, your hand is fine now, but the way you’re holding my arm isn’t right. Think about it—we’re going to get married; we must have been to bed many tis already, right?"
Lin Qiong nodded her head.
"Having been to bed so many tis, we must be quite familiar with each other’s bodies by now, right?"
Lin Qiong glared at him for a mont but then nodded again.
"Being so familiar, for instance, your... ’eyes’... I must have touched them many tis by now, right?"
Lin Qiong’s face betrayed a flash of anger, but she quickly nodded again.
"So, if I’ve touched them many tis, and yet you’re still shy about contact when you’re holding , does that behave like soone about to get married?"
Lin Qiong opened her mouth to speak, then clamped it shut and took a deep breath. She tightened her grip on Li Yifei’s arm and truly embraced it this ti, pressing his arm firmly against her chest.
This ti, Li Yifei’s arm ca into close contact with Lin Qiong’s bosom, the surprising springiness sending a ripple of excitent through him. Though Lin Qiong’s martial skills weren’t great, as a police officer, she still exercised regularly. This made her body much more robust than that of Su Yiyi or even Xu Shanshan, who liked to dance—neither had the sa resilience as Lin Qiong.
Lin Qiong’s bosom pressed tightly against Li Yifei’s arm, which was a source of mortification for her. Although she couldn’t claim that her chest had never made contact with soone else’s—after all, as a police officer, she had to spar with male officers from ti to ti, and accidental contact occurred—those monts never involved any emotional baggage and, therefore, did not embarrass her.
But now was different. Not only was she in such close contact with Li Yifei, but she had also initiated it. For Lin Qiong, who had never been in a relationship, the situation was almost unbearably awkward. Her face flushed red like the evening sky, and she couldn’t bring herself to et Li Yifei’s gaze in the mirror.
Since he had already agreed to this charade, Li Yifei got into his role, saying, "That movent is fine, but your expression gives you away again. Think about it—would soone about to get married feel that embarrassed by this level of intimacy?"
Lin Qiong turned to glare at Li Yifei’s reflection in the mirror and said with dissatisfaction, "I don’t have skin as thick as yours."
"To get your parents’ approval, you need to thicken your skin now, or it will surely give us away."
As soon as she heard about being exposed, Lin Qiong steeled her resolve and asked, "What more do I need to do?"
"It’s simple—when we touch, you need to feel sweetness, to really want to contact
in this way from the bottom of your heart, without even a trace of reluctance," he said.
"That... seems rather difficult."
"I know it’s difficult; I find it quite challenging myself. If I weren’t trying to help you, I would have run a long ti ago."
"Hmph, don’t act all innocent after taking advantage of the situation. You’re a man, so it’s all gain for you. I’m a woman, rember?"
"Well, you’ll have to deal with it yourself then. I’ll do my best, but if we blow our cover because of you, you can’t bla ."
"Fine, fine. It’s just being sweet. What’s the big deal?" Lin Qiong huffed, then took a couple of deep breaths, smiled at the mirror, but she knew without Li Yifei saying anything—it wasn’t convincing; the smile was too forced.
"The important thing isn’t the surface, but what’s in the heart. You need to genuinely feel happy. Once I find that feeling, even a small gesture will show our sweetness and affection," he explained.
Lin Qiong knew Li Yifei was making sense, but how could she find that feeling? She didn’t truly like Li Yifei. If it was that mysterious person she was with, she might have been able to feel it.
