Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 259 Yuan Xudong helps his sister with homework
"Ah what?"
Looking at Song Enxi who opened her eyes slightly, Yuan Xudong hugged her tightly and smiled:
"Didn't you say you would protect me in the future?"
"But...I..."
"What?"
Yuan Xudong covered Song Enxi's lips with his right hand and said gently:
"Enxi, if you are willing, just nod your head. If you are not willing, just shake your head. I promise that whether you are willing to date me or not, I will not force you, nor will I make things difficult for you at work, okay?"
“Hmm~~”
Song Enxi nodded slightly. Although he knew that she had already agreed to it, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but teasing her:
"Enxi, what does your um mean? Do you agree with what I just said, or do you agree to date me?"
“You…are so annoying!”
Rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong , Song Enxi broke away from his embrace, slapped her reddened face with both hands, and continued to walk towards the nearby bus stop, muttering to herself in an unconfident and somewhat unbelievable voice:
"I...I have a boyfriend?"
"What else?"
Yuan Xudong ran after him, holding Song Enxi's right hand and said jokingly:
"From today on, you are my girlfriend. You have to wash my clothes, cook for me, clean the house, and give me your monthly salary. Do you understand?"
"ah?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Song Enxi slightly widened his eyes and said:
"What about you, what are you going to do for me?"
"You're just a gigolo!"
Yuan Xudong held Song Enxi's arm, resting his head on her shoulder, and walked while slightly closing his eyes and pretending to be pitiful.
"I am so pitiful and helpless, shouldn't you love me well?"
"screw you!"
Rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong, Song Enxi saw passers-by starting to look at him and Yuan Xudong. He couldn't help but push him and said embarrassedly:
"Prosecutor Yuan, please don't be like this, I'm a little uncomfortable with this!"
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you're not used to it. I'll be fine once I get used to it!"
"well?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was like a child, not only acting like a spoiled child to her, but also sticking to her, Song Enxi said with some amusement:
"Prosecutor Yuan, why are you acting like a child? It's okay now, but when we get back, you're not allowed to do this, okay?"
"I see. Really, you're so stingy!"
Knowing that Song Enxi didn't want to expose his relationship with her, Yuan Xudong was very happy in his heart, but he pretended to be reluctant on his face and said:
"Enxi, is it embarrassing to date me?"
"No, that's not what I meant!"
Afraid that Yuan Xudong might misunderstand her, Song Enxi quickly explained:
"Besides, you are a formal prosecutor and I am just an intern. If I date you, you will be the one who is embarrassed, right?"
"I don't care about these, I only care whether you are really..."
"But I care!"
Before Yuan Xudong could finish, Song Enxi interrupted him and said firmly:
"I care about what others think of you. You are the best prosecutor I have ever seen. You are young, capable, and kind-hearted. You are my supervisor and I am your intern. If others knew that we were dating, they would definitely gossip. I don't want that. Prosecutor Yuan, can you understand me?"
"I understand, of course I understand!"
Yuan Xudong held Song Enxi's hands and said with a smile:
"Although I don't agree with you, but... you are my girlfriend, I am willing to support you and tolerate you. You can do whatever you want. Even if you want to poke a hole in the sky, I will support you from below. So... if you have any difficulties, or if you encounter any difficulties and don't know what to do, you must tell me, understand?"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding vigorously, Song Enxi snuggled into Yuan Xudong's arms, slightly closed her eyes, smelled his scent, and whispered softly:
"Prosecutor Yuan, you're so nice to me, but...if I find out that you've lied to me, I'll..."
"What about you?"
Yuan Xudong couldn't help but ask curiously, and he actually felt a little scared in his heart. After all, Song Enxi once had the idea of becoming a killer.
"How about I just kill you?"
"Kill me?"
How is this possible?
This is not Japan, and I am not Makoto. Is it necessary to be so cruel?
Yuan Xudong shuddered as he thought about the future when his crime would be exposed and Song Enxi, covered in blood, would ride on him with a bloody hatchet in her hand. He held Song Enxi's hands tightly and taught her earnestly:
"Enxi, we are studying law, so we must abide by the law. No matter what the situation is, how can we kill people?"
After that, without waiting for Song Enxi to speak, Yuan Xudong continued:
"Murder is the greatest sin and the most cruel thing in the world. No matter what happens in the future, even if my hands are covered in blood and I end up in hell, I don't want you to ruin yourself and suffer for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"
"Then why don't you just not lie to me?"
Song Enxi looked up at Yuan Xudong, then added:
"Or you can just lie to me forever without me finding out. Prosecutor Yuan, you're so smart, you should be able to do it, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes at Song Enxi and pretended to be unhappy:
"Didn't you say I was a good person? Would a good person lie? Or are you lying and you don't really think I'm a good person?"
"I'm not lying!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Song Enxi wrinkled her nose and said:
"Besides, does lying have to be related to being a good person? Bad people lie, and good people lie too. But no matter whether it's a good lie or a bad lie, a lie is a lie, so you are not allowed to lie to me in the future, okay?"
"well?"
Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes and said:
"Didn't you just say that I could lie to you forever?"
"Can lies deceive people forever?"
Song Enxi rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and said in a proud voice:
"Only the most genuine emotions can deceive people for a lifetime, Prosecutor Yuan, you still have a lot to learn!"
"Okay, you win!"
Looking at the arrogant Song Enxi, Yuan Xudong shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then looked at her and smiled:
"Enxi, don't call me Prosecutor Yuan anymore. How about calling me Xudong, or brother?"
"don't want!"
Shaking her head vigorously, Song Eun-hee refused:
"I like to call you Prosecutor Yuan, or Prosecutor. Do you like reading online novels?"
"Online novel?"
Awesome people never read online novels. What super-rich second-generations, what movie stars, they are not as good as the real local tycoons. What is in the novel, the local tycoons in real life can also play, and what the local tycoons in real life can play, may not be in the novel. After all, harmony is much more powerful than the law. If you dare to write nonsense, harmony will teach you a new life in minutes. If you dare to write, I dare to block it. Let's see if you dare to write nonsense again? How does the saying go? I don't envy the mandarin ducks or the immortals, I only envy the chaebols every day, especially the world-famous Korean chaebols. The life they live is not even described in novels.
Thinking this in his heart, Yuan Xudong maintained his persona seriously on the surface and said:
"What online novels? I never read these vulgar literatures. They are just like fast food, without any literary value or ideological connotation. If I have that much time, I might as well read more case materials or have a cup of bitter coffee to relax. Why, do you like reading online novels?"
"Yes and no. Actually, there are still some excellent works of online novels. They are not as bad as you said, okay?"
Song Enxi retorted to Yuan Xudong.
"Yeah?"
Yuan Xudong glanced at Song Enxi and said with a smile:
"for example……?"
"For example, the Ice Queen!"
"What?"
"Ms. Snow Queen, my favorite online novel writer, has two works, one has been completed, and the other has just started serialization. Both are phenomenal works that are popular all over the Internet. I heard that they will be made into movies and TV series. I am really looking forward to it!"
Talking about her favorite online novel writer, Song Eun-hee cheered and said:
"Her two books are both about prosecutors, The Story That the Prosecutor and I Have to Tell, and The Story That the Prosecutor and I Have to Tell. In the second book, The Story That the Prosecutor and I Have to Tell, the male protagonist is also named Yuan Xudong. Like you, he works in the Second Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. The Easter egg chapter uses your online photo, which has been liked by more than 100,000 people. They all praise you for being handsome and elegant. You are even more popular than ordinary stars. How about it? Do you feel honored?"
"pleasure?"
Yuan Xudong couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said:
"I'm a prosecutor, not a movie star. Why do I need so many people to praise me for my good looks? It's better not to have such vanity. Only people who are not confident in themselves need others' praise and affirmation. Am I such a person?"
"well?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong praising himself for being handsome in a roundabout way, Song Enxi looked at him with some amusement and said:
"What? How can anyone praise themselves in a roundabout way like you do?"
"He who knows others is wise, he who knows himself is enlightened, just tell the truth!"
"Oh, so you are so narcissistic?"
"Who is narcissistic?"
"Whoever is narcissistic will be called a narcissist!"
…
While playing and joking, Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi walked to the bus stop near Qingguang Blind School. It took them more than half an hour and 3,600 won to get back to the office of the Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. They greeted their colleagues in the office and then started working.
Just like before, Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi did not have any overly intimate behavior. Their relationship was hidden from the beginning. No one knew about it except each other. No one would have thought that Yuan Xudong would take action against his intern, and the most important thing was that he succeeded so quickly.
Compared to him, Prosecutor Hong Jung-soo is simply weak. This fully proves that beautiful women are members of the Appearance Association. Ugly leaders are called harassment, and handsome leaders are called warm men. In layman's terms, appearance is justice, and one's values can be adjusted at any time according to the target's facial features, just like Jack and Rose in Titanic. I don't know what others think, but Yuan Xudong always felt that Rose's fiancé was quite pitiful.
Before he knew it, a day had passed. Just as Yuan Xudong was about to go home from get off work, investigator Jiang Zhentai walked in and handed him a stack of case materials.
"Prosecutor Yuan, this is a jewelry fraud case in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District. One of the suspects is codenamed Chunzi. Her real name is Chunzi. The nearby police station received a report that someone anonymously reported that a bar outside the boundary was selling illegal drugs. When the police went to investigate, they happened to catch Chunzi drinking there. Do you want to interrogate her in person or just hand her over to the Gangnam Police Station?"
"Just hand it over to the Jiangnan Police Station. A simple case like this should be solved quickly!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Yuan Xudong took the case materials and put them on his desk, and spoke without thinking. If he investigated every case personally, he would be too busy even if he didn't sleep for 24 hours a day. Therefore, general cases, cases without any controversy, etc., could be handed over to the lower police stations for investigation. He only needed to sign a few authorization documents. After all, the police in the Republic of Korea did not have the authority to handle cases independently.
Without the consent of the prosecutor, the police have no power to arrest people, even if they know that the other party is a bad person. At most, they can detain the person for a period of time according to the law and apply to the prosecutor above for arrest documents during this period. If the prosecutor above disagrees, or delays the time intentionally or unintentionally, the police below can only release the person obediently, otherwise it will be illegal.
Because of this, the police, who feel very aggrieved, have been wanting prosecutors to agree that the police have the same authority to conduct independent investigations. Unfortunately, prosecutors have always refused to agree, even though doing so has many benefits. After all, the police are the first-line investigators, and it is too troublesome to apply to their superiors every time they handle a case. Sometimes it is simply too late, and they can only watch the criminal suspects they have finally caught being let go.
Unfortunately, no one would complain that their power is too great or a little out of control. Most prosecutors do not agree that the police should have the power to handle cases independently. They believe that they are just subordinates of the prosecutors and can be ordered around at will. If the police can investigate cases freely, wouldn't the authority of the prosecutors be greatly diminished?
After explaining Jiang Zhentai, Yuan Xudong said hello to other colleagues and left first, especially the iceberg beauty Li Yiliya and the quiet girl Song Enxi. Fortunately, Li Yiliya's desk was outside the office, and Song Enxi's desk was in Yuan Xudong's independent office, not far from Yuan Xudong's desk. Moreover, both women were quiet and did not communicate much, which made Yuan Xudong feel relieved. Then he danced wildly on the edge of death.
When he returned home, as Yuan Xudong had expected, his new godsister Kong Xiu Ya had just taken a shower and was wearing his shirt, lying on his bed, hugging his newly bought Snoopy pillow, and watching a melodramatic idol drama on his laptop. The protagonist's father cheated on his mother, raised him as a daughter, his aunt treated him badly, but his uncle treated him very well. Unable to bear the domestic violence from his father, his mother took the little protagonist away from home and went abroad.
Several years later, the mother died in a car accident. The hero underwent surgery to become a woman, and a super beauty. Then he returned to China and met his father, aunt, and uncle. Later, his father and uncle liked this beauty, and his aunt thought that this beauty wanted to steal her husband and hated her. In the end, the truth came out, and the uncle who almost got together said to this beauty, I like you, but I like the little boy before more. Then the beautiful woman collapsed and said, I became a woman, and you actually said this to me, are you serious?
Why did Yuan Xudong know the plot? Because he watched an episode with Kong Xiuya before. Although he thought the plot was ridiculous, the actress who played the female lead was pretty. Sorry, it was the male lead. A woman played a man and became a woman. That's about it. Although he said he was disgusted, Yuan Xudong secretly fast-forwarded the TV series and finished it. Then he could confidently tell Kong Xiuya that there was nothing good about such a bad drama. It was simply vulgar and ruined her worldview. Wouldn't it be better to read more books and enrich herself when she had time?
Hearing Yuan Xudong coming in, Kong Xiuya dropped her laptop, jumped off the bed, jumped onto Yuan Xudong, hooked her hands around his neck and said happily:
"Brother, you're back!"
“Hmm~~”
Yuan Xudong held Kong Xiuya and turned around twice, then touched her hair and said lovingly:
"Still watching the Thai drama Falling Leaves. Have you finished all the homework assigned by the teacher?"
“Done!”
Kong Xiuya hooked her hands around Yuan Xudong's neck and dodged his gaze twice.
"Are you really done?"
Before Kong Xiuya could speak, Yuan Xudong added:
"I'll give you one more chance. I'll believe you no matter what you say next. So now tell me, have you really finished all the homework assigned by the teacher?"
"Actually, I only did what I know how to do. The rest... I can't do it!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Kong Xiuya said cautiously.
"Forget it. I can tell you're a big idiot. Bring me your homework. I'll teach you the parts you don't understand!"
"Okay, thank you brother!"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong was going to teach her how to do her homework, Kong Xiuya quickly got off him, found her schoolbag, took out a history test paper and said with a smile:
"Brother, please teach me history first!"
"good!"
After unfolding the test paper, Yuan Xudong and Kong Xiuya sat next to each other. Looking at the history test paper that had been folded several times, Yuan Xudong frowned slightly and said in an unhappy voice:
“When did the Dragon Boat Festival become Korean?”
Hearing Yuan Xudong's question, Kong Xiuya thought he was testing her. She thought for a while and organized her words in her mind.
"The Dano Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. According to relevant scholars, the content of the Dano Festival was described in Nam Hyo-on's Chugangji during the Joseon Dynasty, so the origin of the Dano Festival can be traced back to a thousand years ago."
“Isn’t the Dragon Boat Festival a traditional Chinese festival?”
"well?"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong would say this. Kong Xiuya slightly widened her eyes and said:
"China's Dragon Boat Festival, ours in Korea is the Gangneung Dano Festival. Although the time frame of the festival is the same, Chinese people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival by eating rice dumplings, rowing dragon boats, commemorating Qu Yuan, etc., while Koreans celebrate the Gangneung Dano Festival by dancing, shamans, swinging, etc. The two are not the same thing. Our Gangneung Dano Festival in Korea has been successfully applied for intangible cultural heritage, and many self-media in China have hyped that we South Korea stole their Dragon Boat Festival. In fact, we applied for the Gangneung Dano Festival, which does not affect their application for the Dragon Boat Festival. Those netizens know nothing, and they believe whatever the self-media news says. Really, they don't even know that they have been fooled by those editors. Brother, you don't believe those shocking news on the Internet, do you?"
“How could I possibly believe the news?”
I was careless and did not investigate clearly beforehand. It turns out that the clown was actually me. Fortunately, I can still make amends. I will fool around for now and investigate clearly later. What exactly is going on with China's Dragon Boat Festival and South Korea's Dragon Boat Festival? Those self-media news are damn good. They start with a picture and make up all the content. They try to be as shocking as possible in order to attract attention, traffic, or to make money. They have really lost all the integrity of journalists. It seems that I can't believe those self-media news in the future.
