"I guarantee you this with my identity as a railway police officer!"
Zhou Qiqi glanced at her watch. "I'm sorry, Comrade Lei, I'm a little pressed for time, I really have to go."
"Okay, okay, you go ahead and get busy!"
Lei Ming quickly stepped aside and watched Zhou Qiqi ride away on her bicycle.
That red figure, like a flickering flame, was imprinted in his eyes and lingered for a long time.
He felt a little empty inside.
The feeling of being awestruck when I first saw Zhou Qiqi, that pure and innocent attraction, has not faded to this day.
It's a pity, she's Commander Shen's lover, and she's living such a wonderful and dazzling life.
Lei Ming was lost in his despondency for an unknown amount of time.
Turning around, that familiar red figure reappeared at the restaurant entrance.
His heart leaped with joy, thinking Zhou Qiqi had come out again, and he almost jumped for joy as he went to greet her once more, "Qiqi..."
Before he could even utter the word "comrade," he recognized the person's face—it wasn't Zhou Qiqi at all!
It was a strange girl, also wearing a red woolen dress. The material and style looked the same, but the feeling of wearing it was completely different.
The girl stood crookedly, her eyes revealing a shrewdness, and a hint of pettiness.
Compared to Zhou Qiqi's refreshing vibe, it's like heaven and earth.
It was Xu Zao who arrived.
As soon as she arrived, she spotted Lei Ming. He was tall and handsome, and looked very smart in his uniform. Her heart fluttered, and she knew that this was definitely her blind date!
She quickly forced out her sweetest smile, her voice so sweet it could drip honey: "Hello! You must be Comrade Lei Ming? I'm Xu Zao!"
Lei Ming's initial excitement vanished instantly, leaving him somewhat embarrassed.
He nodded reluctantly: "Hello, Comrade Xu."
His attitude noticeably cooled, and he seemed distracted.
He was still thinking about Zhou Qiqi, who had left in a hurry earlier, and he couldn't muster any interest in the girl in front of him whose eyes were full of calculation and flattery.
But since I had promised my aunt, I couldn't just turn around and leave.
My aunt will be coming over to check on things later.
With that in mind, Lei Ming still politely led Xu Zao into the restaurant, found a table by the window, and ordered food.
He also made sure to ask Xu Zao what she wanted to eat.
Xu Zao flirted with him while answering in a coy and affected manner, her voice sounding indescribably affected.
"Whatever you like to eat, I'll eat whatever you like."
Xu Shu and Lin Yao sat down at a table not far away, pretending to look at the menu, but their eyes kept glancing this way.
Soon, four dishes were served, but the meal was extremely awkward.
Xu Zao tried her best to find topics to talk about, calling Lei Ming "Brother Ming" over and over again, and even asked Lei Ming about his job and how big his house was, pretending to be innocent. Her thoughts were practically written all over her face.
Lei Ming had seen countless women like this since he was a child.
He showed absolutely no interest, only offering perfunctory "hmm" and "oh," his eyes occasionally drifting out the window.
