"Why are you laughing? Did I say sothing wrong?" Li Shengxue asked. She was completely clueless when it ca to matters between n and won.
"Stop laughing and tell !" Seeing Jiang Siming laughing non-stop, Li Shengxue got anxious, but it was a kind of anxiousness born from embarrassnt.
Jiang Siming finally managed to hold back his laughter and said to Li Shengxue, "Just listen to that woman’s voice. She’s being so wild. If there’s any forcing going on, it’s probably her forcing the man."
"Ugh!"
Li Shengxue’s face turned red with embarrassnt as she spat in frustration. But after listening closely to the sounds coming from the woods, she realized that the woman’s voice did seem a bit... loud.
"Let’s just go. I don’t want to stay here any longer," Li Shengxue grabbed Jiang Siming’s hand and pulled him away, clearly eager to leave as soon as possible.
The two of them hurriedly ran out of the park. Only after exiting did Li Shengxue regain her composure, though her face was still a little flushed.
Going on a date with Jiang Siming and running into such an embarrassing situation — it was far too awkward.
Since they could no longer go to the park, the two had no choice but to stroll aimlessly along the street. After wandering around for a while, it was almost 11 o’clock.
"Shall I take you ho?" Jiang Siming asked, concerned that she might have sothing to do the next day.
Li Shengxue hesitated for a mont before nodding and getting into the car.
Following Li Shengxue’s instructions, Jiang Siming drove her to a residential apartnt complex near the police station.
Li Shengxue lived here. As a criminal investigation team leader, she had her own two-bedroom, one-living-room apartnt provided by the departnt.
"I only stay here when I’m busy with work. Most of the ti, I go back ho," Li Shengxue explained to Jiang Siming.
"So, are you really that busy today? Why did you bring
here?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled.
Li Shengxue rolled her eyes at his cluelessness. How could she dare bring him ho? Her parents were there!
"Tomorrow I have to hand over so duties, so staying close to the station makes things more convenient," she said, coming up with a makeshift excuse.

"Ah, I see," Jiang Siming didn’t think too much of it.
"Um... do you want to co up for a bit?" Li Shengxue tried her best to sound natural.
Jiang Siming glanced at her and, with a sly grin, said, "Aren’t you afraid of being alone with
in your apartnt? What if I do sothing to you?"
Li Shengxue’s face flushed as she snorted, "I’m a criminal investigator. If you try anything, I can have you subdued in no ti."
"Are you sure you can beat ?" Jiang Siming raised an eyebrow.
"Of course I can. You lost to
last ti, rember?" Li Shengxue said with a proud smile.
Jiang Siming chuckled. It was true that he had "lost" to her last ti, but that was only because he wanted to take advantage of the situation.
"Alright, I’ll behave and be a good boy," Jiang Siming said with a grin as he got out of the car.
"You’re always so cheeky," Li Shengxue rolled her eyes, her gaze soft with amusent. She got out of the car as well and led Jiang Siming toward the apartnt building. ??????????Ё??
At the entrance of the apartnt building was the residential supervisor, an older woman in charge of cleaning and overseeing the building. Despite her appearance as a friendly "auntie," she was a retired officer with decades of experience in the police force. Dealing with petty criminals was child’s play for her.
Li Shengxue had just rembered the existence of this "auntie," so she quickly grabbed Jiang Siming’s hand and sped up, hoping they wouldn’t be noticed.
"Hey, Xiaoxue! Why are you coming back so late tonight? Another mission at the station?"
Unfortunately, they were still spotted. Li Shengxue’s pretty face turned bright red as she stamred, "Aunt ng, I didn’t have a mission tonight. I just went out to hang out with a friend."
Aunt ng’s sharp eyes spotted Li Shengxue holding hands with Jiang Siming, and she imdiately understood everything.
"Oh my, Xiaoxue! You found a boyfriend and didn’t even tell ? Are you treating
like an outsider now?" Aunt ng said, her face beaming with excitent.
Li Shengxue was so embarrassed she didn’t know how to respond.
Fortunately, Jiang Siming had thick skin and imdiately responded with a smile, "Hello, Auntie. I’m Shengxue’s boyfriend. She was just too shy to tell you. You look so young, Auntie. You must really know how to take care of yourself!"
"Hahaha, you sure know how to sweet-talk, young man! No wonder you managed to win over the most beautiful policewoman at our station," Aunt ng said, covering her mouth as she laughed.
"Aunt ng, I’m going to take my boyfriend upstairs to sit for a bit… I’ll talk to you later." Li Shengxue quickly made her escape.
"Goodbye, Aunt ng."
After saying that, Li Shengxue pulled Jiang Siming away as if they were fleeing, leaving Aunt ng behind laughing knowingly like soone with experience.
All the way, she led Jiang Siming to the room where she lived, took out her key, and opened the door. This was the place where Li Shengxue usually rested and worked.
Just like her profession, the room had no clutter. It was clean and tidy, with police comndations and banners hanging all over the walls.
On the bookshelf, there were nurous trophies.
Shooting competitions, combat competitions, physical fitness competitions... and many more. She had won so many championships.
No wonder she beca a criminal police captain at such a young age. Even the elite "Heaven Team" tried to recruit her.
With so many honors, it was clear that she wasn’t an ordinary person.
"I only have tea and water. Which one would you like?"
This was the first ti Li Shengxue had ever brought a man ho, and her nervousness showed as she busied herself offering drinks.
"I’m not thirsty, no need to bother."
Jiang Siming replied without even turning his head. His eyes were fixed on a photo displayed on a cabinet.
The photo showed a young Li Shengxue being held by a man in a military uniform, with a beautiful woman standing beside them.
The man had a heroic appearance, and on his shoulders were the insignia of two stripes and one star, symbolizing the rank of major.
Judging by the photo’s age, it had to have been taken more than ten years ago.
If he was a major back then, what rank would he be now?
"That’s my dad, that’s my mom, and the one in the middle is ," Li Shengxue walked over to introduce them.
"Is your dad still working in the military?" Jiang Siming asked curiously.
"Yeah, he’s still on duty. My grandfather has already retired," Li Shengxue nodded in response.
"Your family is a military family, huh?" Jiang Siming said in surprise.
Li Shengxue smiled but did not deny it. "Not , though. I’m a police officer. But my older cousins and younger cousins are all in the military."
"Can I ask what positions your father and grandfather hold now? What insignia are they wearing on their shoulders?"
"My grandfather’s rank is classified, but my dad is currently a brigade commander in the Southeast Military District with the rank of major general," Li Shengxue answered honestly.
Jiang Siming felt dizzy after hearing this. Her father was a brigade commander, and her grandfather’s rank was "classified."
If it was classified, it must have been extrely high.
"Man, comparing people really is maddening," Jiang Siming said with a laugh.
Li Shengxue glanced at him a few tis, her face suddenly turning red.
"I’m going to the bathroom. Wait for
a mont," she said.
"Alright, go ahead," Jiang Siming replied casually, still engrossed in examining the trophies and comndations.
Li Shengxue quickly ran to the bathroom.
After more than half an hour, she ca back out, having taken a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes.
She was now wearing a black silk nightgown, with a style that was a bit like lingerie.
Her delicate feet were bare, and she walked slowly and gracefully on the floor.
Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, with water droplets still clinging to the ends, giving her the look of a forest elf erging from the misty woods.
