"How about you bully your sister next time?"
Her tone became more seductive, "When we're alone together... you can bully me however you want."
Xu Shi instantly became excited.
It has to be said that, perhaps because he was raised by Su Lin since he was a child, he really does have a preference for older women, and the word "older sister" is quite effective at appealing to him.
Or perhaps this Tang Shuang was simply unprecedented—it was clear that for the man she had chosen, cooking and cleaning for him was nothing. She could even make such a promise… Go ask the Bureau of Investigation or the Governor’s Office, and eleven out of ten people would think that their boss had been switched.
He even saw a hint of allure in Tang Shuang, yet this word, which should have been completely unrelated to her persona, appeared on her without any sense of incongruity.
Is this the consequence of years of self-entertainment? Or is it some hidden attribute lurking deep in my heart?
In short, Mr. Xu calmed himself down and managed to suppress his anger.
The final act of intimacy was just a deep kiss.
"...Shall we go for a walk?"
Breaking free from their almost-closed gazes, Xu Shi extended an invitation to Tang Shuang.
"OK."
Tang Shuang readily agreed. Having satisfied her craving for bullying her mischievous younger brother, she genuinely wanted to spend time with Xu Shi like a normal couple.
Seeing that Shen Qin and Lin Yue still hadn't gotten up, Xu Shi gentlemanly straightened them up, tucked them in, and prepared to go out with Tang Shuang.
"Wait, change to this one."
As they were talking, Governor Tang tossed him a set of clothes.
"...Why are you doing this again?"
Looking at the uniform in his hand, Xu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
You haven't even worn ■■■ first, then ■■■ yet, and I've already done all the role-playing?
"What do you mean 'again'? They're clearly different, okay?"
Tang Shuang retorted very seriously.
"What's different?"
A question mark appeared above Xu Shi's head.
"Last time it was the uniform of the Inspection Bureau, this time it's the Governor's Office."
The Grand Governor Tang spoke with great conviction.
Mr. Xu's soybeans are sweating.
But the other party's little hobby was harmless, so after struggling to no avail, he chose to compromise and became a glorious clerk in the Governor's Office.
"It has to be you who looks good in it."
Tang Shuang's eyes sparkled. "He really is the man I chose. He's perfect in every way."
"What do you mean by 'you picked it'?"
Xu Shi enjoyed her flattery, but still responded with a touch of arrogance.
"If I remember correctly, it was me who confessed my feelings to you?"
Tang Shuang raised an eyebrow. "So of course I chose you, okay?"
"Okay, okay."
Xu Shi smiled and nodded; he did indeed like Tang Shuang's poise and generosity.
The so-called date was actually just a casual stroll—Tang Shuang's residence was located at the intersection of District 17 and District 18, within the comfort zone of Night City's high society. Not only were the facilities excellent, but there was also a beautiful landscape that had been specially created.
"So beautiful."
Strolling through the park in the center of the district, Tang Shuang held her breakfast in her hand and uttered this sentiment.
In fact, such pleasing scenery was commonplace for people in Districts 17 and 18, but she suddenly realized that she seemed to have never really appreciated it before.
"I always feel like I missed out on a lot in the past."
There was no shortage of regret in her tone.
"This is what a workaholic is like."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
The little bit of girlish sentiment she had managed to muster vanished instantly. Governor Tang glared at him irritably and transformed back into her tiger-girl form.
Xu Shi didn't mind, and just smiled when he saw this, "Fortunately, there are still many days ahead, and you happen to have many firsts that you haven't achieved yet."
"Pah, you smooth talker."
Tang Shuang snorted, but couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
It has to be said that Xu Shi is quite good at coaxing people. What was originally a regrettable situation was transformed into something hopeful after he said it.
Wasn't last night the first time? Then there will be countless first times in the future: the first candlelight dinner, the first anniversary, and even the first time having a child?
As her thoughts popped into her head, she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
"Oh right, there's something we seem to have overlooked."
Her work-minded habits hadn't changed; as she strolled around, something suddenly occurred to her, "What do you plan to do with the 'Forsaken' base outside the city?"
This is a problem, though not in a big way. When they first drove this group of people out of the city and implemented an immigration system, over time, the slum characteristics that originally belonged to Sin City were transferred there.
However, if we want to expand further and establish an alliance system, it seems inappropriate to do something that damages our image. Imagine if outsiders saw such a noisy and dirty place as their first impression; it's really not something to be proud of.
"It's time for an upgrade."
Xu Shi was reminded of this, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Then why not put some effort into making it more formalized?"
Even if it doesn't transform into something like Sin City, it will definitely be a thousand times better than the current mess.
"That's what I think too."
Tang Shuang nodded slightly. "I'm a little surprised that a capitalist oligarch like you would say that on your own initiative."
Xu Shi shrugged. What was there to hide?
This involves many things. The facade of Night City is one aspect, but if it can generate more value, it would certainly be a good thing.
