When this topic came up, both of them fell silent.

That accident two years ago... it wasn't exactly a coincidence, but it was also quite a coincidence.

Zhou Zuizui thought to herself, rubbing her ears and regretting her teasing remark about Shen Nan that had slipped out... It wasn't a problem teasing him, but that she herself had found herself in an awkward situation.

She turned her head to look at the scenery flashing past the window, watching them get further and further away from the bar...

—Two years ago, late at night.

As soon as the two entered the house, before the living room lights were even turned on, Zhou Zuizui pressed Shen Nan against the door and kissed him without a second thought.

Shen Nan was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

When he finally realized what was happening, he instinctively tried to push Zhou Zuizui away, but she clung to him tightly, using both hands and feet. Even as Shen Nan was about to scold her, she looked at him with her wet eyes and asked pitifully, "Even you dislike me now?"

After saying that, she reached out her hand...

Shen Nan's eyes darkened, and he let her do as she pleased.

That evening, both of them drank some alcohol.

He didn't know what was going on, but he inexplicably followed Zhou Zuizui.

The two kissed from behind the door... their lips and tongues intertwined, and they kissed each other.

Having been excessively provoked by Zhou Zuizui, Shen Nan's kisses were filled with a fierce and possessive force.

From the doorway to the room, clothes were scattered all the way, lying forlornly on the ground.

Zhou Zuizui reached out and hooked her arm around Shen Nan's neck, backing away and walking to the other side. Not to be outdone, she bit Shen Nan's lips and sucked on them, the two of them going back and forth, evenly matched, neither willing to admit defeat.

Only after kissing him so hard he could hardly breathe did Zhou Zuizui open her mouth to bite Chen Nan.

Shen Nan winced in pain and was about to let her go when she, like a little leopard, tilted her head back and kissed his Adam's apple on purpose.

fed up.

Shen Nan grabbed her and threw her onto the bed...

........................

"Zhou Zuizui, you asked for this."

..........................

She raised her eyebrows, looking at Shen Nan triumphantly with a provocative expression: "Who asked for it is still uncertain!"

..............

What happened next was beyond their control.

The temperature in the room gradually rose.

The lights were off, and the curtains were half-drawn. Through the dim moonlight, the shadows of two people could be vaguely seen.

The night grew deeper.

......

......

Just then, the car suddenly stopped, and a deep male voice came from beside my ear: "What are you thinking about?"

He glanced at her, his deep eyes fixed on her. When his gaze fell on her face, his voice lowered even more: "Why is your face so red?"

Zhou Zuizui snapped out of her daze, pinched her slightly burning ears, looked at the man with a rugged profile, sized him up from head to toe, and then her gaze fell on his bobbing Adam's apple as she licked her lips.

It has to be said that Shen Nan is such a rugged man... that once you've slept with him, you can't forget him.

Thinking for a moment, Zhou Zuizui coughed and glanced out the window: "Have we arrived?"

We drove further and further away from the bar until we reached the parking lot of the residential complex.

Shen Nan glanced at her intently, then unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

Zhou Zuizui raised an eyebrow, leaned against the car window to look at Shen Nan, her eyes full of cunning: "Captain Shen, why aren't you asking any more questions?"

The more she tried to avoid it, the more interested she seemed to become. Or perhaps she wanted to find something to distract herself. With Qiuqiu not around, the only person Zhou Zuizui could amuse without getting angry with her was Shen Nan.

Shen Nan paused, ignoring her.

It's obvious that what I'm thinking of isn't anything good.

The two entered the elevator one after the other. Zhou Zuizui moved to stand next to Shen Nan and, taking advantage of Shen Nan's inattention, poked his sturdy frame with her finger. As always, it was rock hard... When Shen Nan looked over, she winked and smiled mischievously: "It wasn't on purpose."

Shen Nan looked at it, curled his lips, and chuckled.

It wasn't intentional, but it was deliberate.

After the two entered the house and changed their shoes, Shen Nan went straight to the kitchen, and Zhou Zuizui followed him.

She followed behind Shen Nan, and after he poured her a glass of water, she immediately snatched it and drank it down.

"..."

Shen Nan lifted his eyelids and looked at her coldly.

Zhou Zuizui chuckled, finished her drink, and handed the cup to him with a serious expression: "Thank you, Captain Shen, for pouring the water."

Shen Nan watched, and laughed in exasperation.

He looked down at the girl standing beside him. Zhou Zuizui's height was considered good for a girl, but compared to him, it was relatively average. There was a twenty-centimeter difference between them, and she was thin, making her appear even more petite and delicate in comparison to him. She was so thin that Shen Nan felt he could easily snap her waist with just a little force.

Thinking of the delicate, soft skin beneath the clothes, Shen Nan paused, his Adam's apple bobbing. He lowered his eyes, picked up the cup beside him, poured himself another glass of cold water, and gulped it down.

Zhou Zuizui watched from the side, finding it all amusing. It seemed that no matter how much you provoked or annoyed Shen Nan, he would never get angry and would just let you make a fuss.

She stared at it for a while, then her eyes darted around, and another mischievous idea popped into her head.

After coming out of the kitchen, Zhou Zuizui followed beside him in slippers. Just as Shen Nan was about to enter the bedroom, she grabbed his clothes.

"I have something to tell you."

Shen Nan nodded, remaining standing still: "Go on."

"I'm going out for a bit later."

Shen Nan paused, then turned his head to look at her.

Zhou Zuizui smiled, flicked her hair, and said, "Xia Wen, do you remember her? My friend."

"Um."

Zhou Zuizui was somewhat surprised that this person actually remembered.

“If you won’t drink with me, then Xia Wen will drink with me tonight.” She raised an eyebrow, looking at him smugly, her pupils full of mischief: “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t sleep with you when I get drunk this time.”

...

Shen Nan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zhou Zuizui, gritting his teeth as he said, "Zhou Zuizui!"

He was warning her.

Zhou Zuizui shrugged, not at all afraid of him: "What?" She stood on tiptoe, staring at him with wide eyes, looking completely innocent: "Did I say something wrong?"

Shen Nan chuckled, opened the door, and walked straight in. "Remember what you said."

After saying that, he closed the door right in front of Zhou Zuizui.

Zhou Zuizui stared wide-eyed at the closed door in front of her, speechless.

Depend on!

Why did you close the door?

Shen Nan's deep voice came from inside the room: "I'm afraid you'll sleep with me."

Zhou Zuizui: "..."

She stood there, thinking about the words Shen Nan had just said to her, and then she couldn't help but smile again.

Her previously extremely low mood seemed to improve slightly in an instant. She chuckled softly, turned around, and went back to the room on the side.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Zuizui came out wearing a dress. Before leaving, she knocked on the door next door and called out, "I'm leaving."

Shen Nan came out of the bathroom and opened the door. Before he could say a word, all he could see was the dazzling white neck that disappeared in front of him. He looked at it and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

As expected, Zhou Zuizui and Xia Wen arranged to meet at a bar.

Both of them are wine lovers and enjoy having fun.

Zhou Zuizui's personality had always been suppressed and restrained. The reason she was able to become good friends with Xia Wen was because she could no longer pretend.

In the past, Xia Wen disliked Zhou Zuizui for her polite and proper manners. She always felt that Zhou Zuizui was not living a real life. Her eyes were devoid of any emotion or warmth, yet she pretended to be someone who would listen to whatever she was told and do whatever she was told, acting like a good girl...

In short, all sorts of things.

The two didn't like each other back in high school.

In college, the two inexplicably ended up in the same school and class, and gradually became familiar with each other. After getting to know each other, Xia Wen spared no effort in digging out Zhou Zuizui's other side, ruthlessly destroying her public image. Later, she finally understood why Zhou Zuizui had acted so obediently and well-behavedly—it was all because she was forced into it.

Due to their upbringing and family circumstances.

Xia Wen drove downstairs, and upon seeing Zhou Zuizui's dress, she whistled lewdly: "Excellent, sister!"

Zhou Zuizui was wearing a black strapless dress. Her collarbones were delicate and beautiful, and when they were exposed, they had an invisible allure. Moreover, she had taken such good care of herself in the ancient town over the past two years that her skin was as white as snow, and every move she made was exceptionally seductive without her even realizing it. Coupled with her exquisite and bright features, Xia Wen was sure that... Zhou Zuizui would be the brightest star in the bar tonight.

She hadn't seen Zhou Zuizui like this in a long time, and felt a sense of loss, yet also a strange feeling of familiarity.

After getting into the car, Zhou Zuizui chuckled, took off the coat she had just put on in the elevator, and looked at Xia Wen with her eyes curving into crescents: "Did you miss me?"

"Absolutely." Xia Wen said as she drove away, "I don't want anyone else, I just want someone to come to the bar and make a good impression for me!"

Zhou Zuizui choked, glancing at her sideways: "So my only function is to be able to drink?"

"Of course not," Xia Wen laughed. "It's that I can drink with you."

They both smiled; even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, there was no sense of distance between them.

"Come out... Did your husband say anything?"

Zhou Zuizui was taken aback, then smiled like a fairy: "I told him."

Xia Wen stroked her chin, looking at her like this, and felt that Zhou Zuizui was up to something. She thought for a moment and couldn't help but expose her: "I feel like... you seem to be planning something?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui looked at her innocently: "I didn't. What did I plan? I'm a good citizen, would I scheme against the backbone of the country?"

Xia Wen choked for a moment, then glared at her: "Whether you've schemed or not, you know it yourself."

This person can set traps for you with a smile on their face and a belly full of bad intentions. Xia Wen always felt that in Zhou Zuizui's eyes, Shen Nan was like a little fat lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If he was not careful, he would fall into the net and be devoured alive by this woman.

Zhou Zuizui smiled but remained silent, resting her hand on the car window and turning her head to look at the night outside.

In the bustling bar, you can be driven away by the deafening music as soon as you arrive at the door.

Xia Wen led her inside with practiced ease. Before going in, Zhou Zuizui raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "This bar is still here?"

This is the bar they used to frequent.

"Absolutely. Business has been booming these past two years. A celebrity recently showed up here, giving the bar a boost in advertising."

Even more people came.

Zhou Zuizui smiled knowingly.

The two went inside, found seats, and began their nightlife at the bar.

...

When Lu Jiaxiu called, Shen Nan was just about to make something simple to eat.

He answered the phone, said a few words, then changed his clothes, grabbed his car keys, and went out.

It wasn't until they arrived at the bar that Shen Nan subconsciously looked up at the bar's sign. It was as familiar as ever, the name was the same, nothing had changed.

He lowered his eyes, said something to the waiter at the door, and was then led upstairs to the second floor.

As soon as Shen Nan arrived, Lu Jiaxiu called out, "Master Shen, over here."

He glanced over and saw Lu Jiaxiu and Hu Yi sitting together. He looked at the two of them and smiled, a rare occurrence. The three of them greeted each other, saying, "Long time no see."

Shen Nan looked around and asked, "Where's Zhou Ran?"

The four of them had known each other since childhood, but later Shen Nan and Zhou Ran both joined the army, while Lu Jiaxiu and Hu Yi pursued business careers, so they gradually lost contact. Zhou Ran was alright, being a criminal police officer, so they could occasionally meet up, but Shen Nan was different... He went to the frontier for two years, and no one could see him.

"I have a mission to attend to, I'll be back later." Lu Jiaxiu looked at him with a smile, then punched Shen Nan on the shoulder: "You're finally back."

Shen Nan smiled, which was a way of expressing his feelings; he felt relatively relaxed being with them.

The three of them got together for a meal and drinks, and from their private room on the second floor, they could see right into the lobby below.

Shen Nan sat on the edge of the window, looking down and scanning the hall. When he saw a familiar figure from behind, he touched the corner of his mouth with his tongue and hummed softly.

Hu Yi and Lu Jiaxiu were still chatting on one side: "You're not leaving again this time, right?"

Shen Nan hummed in agreement: "It depends on the mission."

Often, whether they leave or stay, or where they choose to stay, is not something they can decide for themselves.

Lu Jiaxiu scoffed lightly, raising an eyebrow slightly, and said, "If you want to stay here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Nan suddenly stood up, turned around and left before the two could react.

Lu Jiaxiu, still holding the wine in mid-air, paused and looked at Hu Yi: "What is he doing?"

Hu Yi shook his head, looking equally bewildered.

Suddenly, he looked downstairs, pointed at the somewhat blurry figure, and paused: "Isn't that... Master Chen's wife?"

Lu Jiaxiu glanced over and said, "Oh, it really is! You're getting prettier and prettier."

The two exchanged a glance, looking down at the man surrounding Zhou Zuizui downstairs. Hu Yi made a bold guess: "Is Master Chen... protecting his wife?"
