"My goodness! I have hands... I don't like egg yolks... Hahahaha, Teacher Su, are you a devil? You're not just killing me, you're destroying my spirit!"

"Did you see that? Gao Kai's face turned red, then white, then purple, just like the dye vat in our village! And Commander Jiang! My goodness! This is the first time I've ever seen Commander Jiang's face, which is usually so unchanging even if the sky were to fall, actually... actually crack! It was so damn exciting! This meal was worth it! It was even more exciting than watching a gunfight!"

"One was trying to cram in the meat, the other was trying to deliver the egg, and in the end one was criticized for being too meddlesome, and the other was criticized for being the yolk... Hahahaha, I declare this to be the most classic scene since the establishment of our Third Battalion!"

Gao Kai's brothers, all former police officers, were holding back their laughter, their faces turning red and their necks bulging. They wanted to laugh but dared not laugh too loudly in front of their boss.

Wang Jin covered his mouth, his shoulders trembling as if he had been electrocuted, and the sound he made was like a leaky bellows.

Li Si simply buried his face in his enamel bowl, his whole body trembling violently, pretending to drink soup.

Chen Xiaocao and Liu Landi, sitting opposite Su An, had the clearest view.

"Sister Su An... is too amazing." Chen Xiaocao covered her mouth and whispered to Liu Landi, her eyes full of stars, a complex light mixed with worship, awe and extreme admiration.

Liu Landi, on the other hand, appeared much calmer. She glanced at Gao Kai and Jiang Yan, whose expressions had instantly turned to stone as if they had suffered a catastrophe, and then at Su An, who had already picked up a steamed bun and was eating with stir-fried cabbage with a composed expression. A hint of understanding and deeper admiration flashed in her eyes.

Unmoved by external things, undisturbed by emotions.

This is the Su An she knows.

Any complex interpersonal relationship or any ambiguous situation can be resolved in her in the simplest, most direct, and most effective way.

Gao Kai is a firearms genius and an elite police officer. Jiang Yan is a shrewd strategist, calm as a mountain, and a born soldier.

In Battalion Three, the two men who were almost the most outstanding in terms of both ability and appearance were now sitting awkwardly and stiffly on either side of Su An, like two primary school students who had failed to win the teacher's favor and had done something wrong. They became the laughing stock of the entire canteen.

Gao Kai was completely dumbfounded.

He stared intently at Su An's profile, his mind buzzing and completely blank.

Teacher Su... she... she rejected me?

And they even said... they have hands?

What does this mean? Does it mean I'm being nosy? Does it mean I'm being rude?

The flame that had been burning so brightly in his heart was instantly extinguished, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe, leaving only a wisp of smoke and a mess on the ground. A huge sense of shame and frustration surged into his heart, making his cheeks burn, and he wished there was a crack in the ground he could disappear into.

He picked up his chopsticks sullenly, ignoring the mountain of meat in his bowl, and started rummaging through the white rice in it, as if every grain of rice was his class enemy, his movements so forceful it seemed he wanted to destroy the enamel bowl with it.

Did I do something wrong?

He kept thinking about it.

Teacher Su works so hard; mental labor is the most draining. Shouldn't she eat more meat to replenish her energy? I specially asked Old Zhang from the cookhouse for the best pork belly, stewed until it was extremely tender! It's perfectly marbled with fat and lean meat, full of oil and flavor—the best way to relieve fatigue!

Could it be... that my approach was wrong? Too direct? Too loud? Did I scare Teacher Su?

Do lesbians... all like those who speak softly and gently?

He subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yan beside him.

It's all that Jiang's fault!

If he hadn't jumped out and pretended to peel some broken egg, acting all high and mighty, how could Teacher Su have said those things!

This is a genuine expression of my feelings, a heartfelt outpouring of sincerity! Yours is just a scheme, a trick!

But... what if Teacher Su actually likes that kind of person?

The moment this thought crossed Gao Kai's mind, it felt as if a large hand was gripping his heart tightly, leaving him feeling both sore and aching, and extremely uncomfortable.
