The next day, Lin Yuner woke up from a deep sleep with the sound of a cell phone ringing. She opened her eyes and didn't see Yuan Xudong, so she sat up from the bed, supporting herself with her right hand and holding the spotless white velvet blanket in front of her chest with her left hand. After a moment of confusion, she picked up the ringing cell phone from the bedside table and took a look. It was a call from her sister Lin Xiuxiu. Lin Yuner quickly pressed the answer button and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Sister, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"
"Okay, no no, I just woke up!"
"Got it, I'll be more careful!"
"Okay, see you later!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xudong, who had been waiting at the door of the room for a while, came in with two pieces of toast and hot milk. He put the tray in his hand on the bedside table, sat down next to Lin Yuner, kissed her on the forehead and said gently:
"You must be hungry. Have some toast and hot milk first. I'll take you to a big meal at noon, okay?"
"Okay, thank you Oppa!"
After kissing Yuan Xudong twice on the cheek, Lin Yuner grabbed the velvet blanket with both hands to cover her breasts, and said to him in a tender voice:
"Oppa, can you feed me?"
"OK!"
Yuan Xudong teased Lin Yuner with the toast for a while, and then fed her properly, first a small bite of toast, and then a small sip of hot milk. When the feeding was over, looking at the milky white milk stains at the corners of Lin Yuner's mouth, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but throw her under him, with a naughty smile on his face, and said in a frivolous voice:
"Okay Yoona, what should I do if I'm hungry?"
"I...I'm going to buy some food...what...what do you want to do?"
"What do you think?"
…
Two hours later, at 8:55 in the morning, a refreshed Yuan Xudong walked out of the hotel with a rosy-cheeked Lin Yuner. Before they parted, Lin Yuner straightened Yuan Xudong's collar and tie, lowered her head and complained to him in a low voice:
"Oppa, it's all your fault. My sister and I agreed to meet at 8:30, and now it's almost 9 o'clock. What do you think we should do?"
"It's okay, just treat your sister to a meal at noon!"
Yuan Xudong put his arms around Lin Yuner's soft waist and said with a smile:
"I'm going to work first. Let's have lunch together at noon. I'll take you to my..."
"I want to go home and sleep at night!"
Before Yuan Xudong could finish, Lin Yuner couldn't help but interrupt him:
"Really, Oppa, you...you..."
"Me what?"
Seeing Lin Yuner's hesitation, Yuan Xudong was a little worried for her and said:
"Hurry up, your sister is waiting for you!"
"Nothing, anyway, I have to go home to sleep tonight, and I will only be with you for three days a week from now on!"
Lin Yuner glared at Yuan Xudong and said, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to speak, she stopped a taxi, opened the door and got in, looking at Yuan Xudong and whispered:
"Oppa, I'm leaving first. I'll have lunch with my sister at noon. You should go back and rest for a while. Really, you haven't slept all night. Don't you feel tired?"
"I'm not tired. I'm in good health. You're not... "
"I won't talk to you anymore. My sister is still waiting for me at home. I'm leaving first. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Watching the blushing Lin Yoona leaving in the car, Yuan Xudong smiled and shook his head, then hailed a taxi and started heading to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office to work. There were two beautiful women waiting for him in the office.
In the office of Yuan Xudong in the Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, although Yuan Xudong, the prosecutor, has not come to work yet, but investigators Jiang Zhentai and Che Xiuhao, secretary Park Eun-hye, clerk Li Yiliya, and trainee prosecutor Song Eun-hee have already sat behind their desks and started a new day's work.
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong's independent office, Secretary Park Eun-hye, who had changed into relatively simple clothes, looked at Li Yilia sitting next to her and whispered:
"Illya, why hasn't Prosecutor Yuan come to work yet?"
"Maybe there's a traffic jam on the road!"
Lee Elijah looked at the computer screen and typed quickly with both hands while answering Park Eun-hye in a perfunctory manner.
"Yeah?"
Park Eun-hye thought for a while and said in some confusion:
"You said... should I call Prosecutor Yuan and ask?"
"what ever!"
Li Yilia glanced at Park Eun-hye and said seriously:
"Secretary Park, be more confident, do what you should do, and don't care so much about what others think, okay?"
"Well……"
Looking at Li Yiliya who was full of encouragement, Park Eun-hye felt inexplicably moved. She nodded slightly and whispered:
"Got it. Thank you, Illya!"
"You're welcome!"
Li Yilia smiled softly, clenched his fists and looked at Park Eun-hye to cheer her up:
"Secretary Park, come on!"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding vigorously, Park Eun-hye took a deep breath, clenched her right fist and responded to Li Yilia:
"come on!"
After saying that, just when Park Eun-hye was about to call Yuan Xudong to ask him if he had something wrong and couldn't come to work, Yuan Xudong walked in from outside the office, greeted everyone and went straight to his independent office. Park Eun-hye hurriedly followed him in with the financial expenditure report that she had prepared long ago.
"Secretary Park, what can I do for you?"
After walking into the independent office and greeting Song Eun-xi, Yuan Xudong sat down at his desk and smiled at Park Eun-hye who followed him in.
"Prosecutor Yuan, this is this month's financial expenditure report, please take a look!"
Park Eun-hye handed the financial expenditure report to Yuan Xudong and said:
"If there is no problem, I can report it to the higher-ups after you sign it!"
"good!"
Yuan Xudong took the financial statement and took a quick look. He found that there was still about 6 million won left for this month. Seeing this, he returned the financial expenditure statement to Park Eun-hye and said:
"Don't rush to report it yet. Get the invoice for 6 million won back for reimbursement. Divide the amount among you and treat it as this month's overtime pay!"
"ah?"
"Ah what?"
Looking at Park Eun-hee who opened her eyes slightly, Yuan Xudong looked at her and joked:
"If you don't want it, you can use your share as a treat. It's about 1.5 million won, right?"
"Prosecutor Yuan, I...I..."
"Okay, I'm just kidding you. It's not your turn to treat anyone. Go out and tell everyone that there's a department dinner tonight. It starts at six and ends at eight. Let's go!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Park Eun-hye and smiled.
"Well, thank you, Prosecutor Yuan. I'll go out and inform everyone first!"
"Go ahead, and remember to close the door, thank you!"
Park Eun-hye looked at Yuan Xudong and bowed slightly, then walked out happily, closed the door of the independent office, and then told everyone two good news. One was that there would be a department dinner from 6 to 8 pm, and the other was that each person could have a reimbursement amount of 1.5 million won, which would be reimbursed after bringing back some invoices. It was an extra overtime subsidy given to them by Prosecutor Yuan. Except for Li Yilia who was not short of money and just smiled lightly, everyone else, especially Jiang Zhentai, was extremely excited and called Yuan Xudong the best prosecutor he had ever met, although he had only met Yuan Xudong as a prosecutor.
In the independent office, listening to the cheers of Investigator Jiang Zhentai outside, Song Enxi walked to Yuan Xudong's desk and asked:
"Prosecutor Yuan, why are you coming to work so late today?"
"I didn't sleep well last night and I overslept this morning!"
Avoiding the window of the independent office, Yuan Xudong walked to Song Enxi while speaking, hugged her and kissed her:
"Enxi, did you miss me?"
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong would kiss her in the independent office. Song Enxi's face flushed and she struggled twice, whispering in resistance:
"Xudong, please don't be like this, okay? This is an office, what if someone sees us?"
"Do whatever you want!"
Pushing Song Enxi against the wall, Yuan Xudong grabbed her hands and kissed her neck wantonly. Feeling a slight chill on her chest, Song Enxi quickly pushed Yuan Xudong away, hurriedly tidying up her clothes, and looked at Yuan Xudong and stammered:
"Xu...Xudong, I...I'm not ready yet, I'm sorry...I..."
"It's okay. I was abrupt. I shouldn't have treated you like this. I..."
"It's none of your business. It's because of my own reasons. I...I..."
Seeing Song Enxi stammering and unable to speak, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but ask curiously:
"You what?"
"I'm a little scared of this kind of thing!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Song Enxi took a deep breath and explained:
"Three years ago, my sister was raped by a bad guy... In the end, the suspect was acquitted due to insufficient evidence. My sister couldn't stand the blow and ran away from home. She also wanted to commit suicide by cutting her wrists. The scar on my wrist was caused by her accidentally cutting it when I tried to stop her. So I'm not used to overly close contact with the opposite sex. Xudong, I'm sorry, I may not be able to be your girl..."
It turns out that Song Enxi's sister ran away from home because she was abused by a bad guy. This bad guy was a senior she trusted and invited her to go out and play together. After being hurt by him, the suspect was released in court because he could not provide evidence to prove that he was forced at the time. This is also the weird part of Japanese and Korean laws. Women have been harmed and have to prove that they were forced. If there is no evidence, it is voluntary. Yuan Xudong complained about the garbage laws and bullshit human rights in his heart. Talking about human rights with criminals is the biggest insult to human rights. At the same time, he comforted Song Enxi:
"Enxi, it's okay. I can wait until you get used to it. Then we can get together again, okay?"
"What if I can't adapt in my lifetime?"
Song Enxi looked into Yuan Xudong's eyes and asked.
"Then I will wait for you forever. How about we have a platonic relationship?"
"real?"
Song Enxi looked at Yuan Xudong and curled her lips and said:
"Can you bear it?"
"I really can't help it, so you have to get better as soon as possible and take on the responsibilities and obligations of a girlfriend. But don't worry, I will help you!"
"How can you help me?"
"so……"
Without waiting for Song Enxi to react, Yuan Xudong directly kissed her red lips. He did not rush for success, but slowly guided her, just kissing her lips lightly, with his hands holding her waist obediently.
After a long time, Yuan Xudong looked at the blushing Song Enxi and said with a smile:
"Let's start with a kiss, step by step. Let's just leave it at that for today. There's a long way to go, and I'll slowly guide you!"
"I...I have to go back to work first. I still have a lot of cases to deal with!"
As Song Enxi spoke, she struggled to get up from Yuan Xudong's arms, hurried back to her seat and started working. Yuan Xudong smiled triumphantly, walked back to his desk and sat down, and began to deal with the case at hand. After a while, he walked out of the office, looked at Jiang Zhentai and instructed:
"Inspector Jiang, please give me Chunzi's information, the Chunzi involved in the jewelry fraud case in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District!"
"Okay, Prosecutor Yuan!"
Jiang Zhentai found Chunzi's information on the file shelf, took it into Yuan Xudong's independent office, handed it to him and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, this is the information you requested. Does she have any questions?"
"No problem!"
Yuan Xudong took the file bag, pulled out Chunzi's information from it and started reading it.
"You go and do your work first. I'll just take a look. I met her once before outside, and then my watch disappeared. I suspect she stole it!"
"ah?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say that his watch was stolen by Chunzi, Jiang Zhentai slightly widened his eyes and said:
"Should we call the police?"
"What do you think?"
Yuan Xudong glared at Jiang Zhentai and said:
"Since when did the police become more powerful than prosecutors in the Republic of Korea?"
"Hey, just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm going to go out to work first!"
"Well, go ahead!"
When Jiang Zhentai reached the office door, Yuan Xudong hurriedly called him:
"Wait a minute, let's ask the people at Jiangnan Police Station to keep an eye on Chunzi. If you find her whereabouts, don't act rashly. Just call me to inform me. Remember?"
"Remember, Prosecutor Yuan, make sure you complete the task!"
"You can leave now. I'll give you one day to find Haruko!"
"ah?"
"Ah what? Didn't you promise to complete the mission?"
Yuan Xudong glanced at Jiang Zhentai, who was frowning, and said with a smile:
"If I don't see Haruko by this time tomorrow, you should report to the Ministry of Transportation. Good luck!"
"I...I'd better go home to find my sister-in-law!"
"return!"
"Prosecutor Yuan, do you have any other instructions?"
"I thought about it and decided that I couldn't waste police resources just because of my own problem. So, let's do this..."
After coughing twice and clearing his throat, Yuan Xudong glared at Jiang Zhentai fiercely and said:
"Just ask the people below to keep an eye on it. If Chunzi can't be found, forget it. I'll buy a new watch and the one million won I need can be deducted from your reimbursement amount. How about that?"
"No need, just looking for someone!"
When Jiang Zhentai heard that the money would be deducted from his reimbursement quota, he immediately patted his chest and promised:
"It won't take all day. I promise you'll be able to see Haruko before you get off work tonight!"
"Very good, go ahead and get busy !"
"Okay, Prosecutor Yuan!"
Seeing Jiang Zhentai walking out in a heroic and confident manner, Yuan Xudong smiled and shook his head. Jiang Zhentai had many shortcomings. He liked to slack off, was greedy for small gains, was a veteran when handling cases, and could scare him half to death even a thief with a knife. But his strengths were also obvious. He was honest and kind, and was very good to his family. He was especially afraid of his wife.
In Yuan Xudong's opinion, men who are afraid of their wives are good men, especially when the family's financial income mainly depends on men. From this perspective, Jiang Zhentai is far better than Yuan Xudong. He is an out-and-out playboy and is very good to every woman he treats. This is also his worst point. He is so good to every woman, wanting both their bodies and their feelings. Even Yuan Xudong feels that he is unforgivable and hopeless.
But there is really no way. This is a mental illness and there is currently no way to cure it. Yes, this is a disease and there is no cure. Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong felt much more comfortable. He simply gave it a name, called Yuan Xudong Syndrome. People with the disease can't help but fall in love with beautiful and lovely people of the opposite sex. Homosexuality and lesbian tendencies do not count. That is true love and is not within the definition of Yuan Xudong Syndrome.
Night fell and the day passed in a flash. After get off work, Yuan Xudong, Li Yiliya and others found a barbecue restaurant near the Central District Prosecutor's Office. They ate, drank and had fun from six o'clock to eight o'clock. After eating and drinking, Jiang Zhentai and Che Xiuhao left one after another.
Yuan Xudong sent Park Eun-hye, Lee Il-ya, and Song Eun-hee home one by one according to their distance. Just when he was thinking about whether to go and talk to Lin Yuna or Kong Xiu-ya, Jiang Zhentai called him. Chunzi was found and was drinking at the nearby Yuejie Bar.
After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yuan Xudong immediately decided to go to Chunzi to talk about his ideals in life. The thief has stolen from the prosecutor, and it is not the first time. He is committing a crime knowingly. As the saying goes, even thieves have their own code of conduct. Do they have any professional ethics? Don’t thieves nowadays know how to respect prosecutors?
At Yuejie Bar, Chunzi and two people who were slightly acquainted were sitting together drinking and chatting. Guo Chengjian, who had rushed to Yuejie Bar later, unexpectedly saw Chunzi. Thinking of yesterday's misunderstanding, he took the initiative to step forward, bowed slightly and apologized:
"Hello, I was so rude yesterday!"
"It's you!"
Hearing Guo Chengjian's voice, Chunzi looked up at him in surprise.
"Haruko, who is he?"
The person sitting opposite Haruko asked curiously.
"There was this guy, a very scary and rude guy!"
Chunzi glanced at Guo Chengjian and said meaningfully.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you feel wronged yesterday!"
Guo Chengjian apologized again.
"It doesn't matter, it's all in the past, I won't take it to heart!"
Although she said it was okay, Chunzi still looked at Guo Chengjian with some resentment and said:
"But do I look like a thief?"
"No, I misunderstood. As an apology, can I buy you a drink?"
After hesitating for a while, Chunzi looked at the polite Guo Chengjian and said with a smile:
"Well, since you are so sincere!"
"Thank you, this way please!"
…
Following Guo Chengjian to the bar, he sat down and ordered a bottle of high-end whiskey. Chunzi leaned towards Guo Chengjian and filled his glass with wine.
"Sir, I don't even know your name."
"Excuse me, my name is Guo Chengjian!"
Seeing Chunzi next to him, Guo Chengjian moved to the side and said with a smile:
"And you, what's your name?"
"Haruko, just call me Haruko!"
After filling a glass of wine for Guo Chengjian, Chunzi sat back in his seat and said with a smile:
"Mr. Guo, I toast you a glass!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Seeing Guo Chengjian drink it all in one breath, Chunzi pretended to drink a little, and then took advantage of Guo Chengjian's inattention to pour the whiskey in the glass into the barrel beside her. She looked at Guo Chengjian and smiled:
"Mr. Guo, I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon!"
"good!"
Entering the restroom corridor, Haruko handed the stolen room card to Director Jin who had been waiting here for a long time and said:
"How long will it take?"
"Don't worry, it won't take too long, about forty-five minutes!"
Taking Guo Chengjian's room card and putting it in his pocket, Director Jin looked at Chunzi and said with a smile:
"Haruko, you must not drink, because I will be very worried about you!"
"Are you looking for death?"
Giving a glare to the grinning Director Jin, Chunzi walked into the bar. Before Director Jin and Gao Xidong installed the surveillance equipment and returned the room card, she had to find a way to delay Guo Chengjian. She couldn't let him notice that the room card was lost, and she couldn't let him go back to the hotel.
"I'm back!"
Walking into the bar and sitting next to Guo Chengjian, Chunzi filled a glass of wine for him and said with a smile:
"Mr. Guo, come, I'll toast you another glass!"
"Okay, thank you!"
After one glass after another, Chunzi took a sip and poured out the rest of the whiskey. Then she watched Guo Chengjian finish one glass after another. As a result, he was not drunk at all, as if he had not drunk any alcohol. Chunzi, who did not believe in evil, was ready to fill Guo Chengjian's glass again to see how much he could drink. Unexpectedly, Guo Chengjian covered the edge of the glass and refused:
"Okay, drink this!"
"What?"
Seeing that Guo Chengjian was not going to continue drinking, Chunzi advised:
"Mr. Guo, let's drink some more!"
"No!"
Guo Chengjian glanced at the young and beautiful Chunzi and said calmly:
"If I continue drinking it, it will offend you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Chunzi to speak, Guo Chengjian stood up and looked at the waiter standing at the bar and said:
"Waiter, please pay the bill!"
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing Guo Chengjian preparing to check out and leave, Director Jin had not yet returned the room card. Thinking of the plan that had been made, Chunzi gritted her teeth, then grabbed Guo Chengjian's left hand to prevent him from paying the bill, and pretended to be very sad and said:
“That’s really too much!”
With Chunzi holding his left hand, Guo Chengjian turned around, looked at her and said:
"Ms. Haruko, you..."
"Actually, today is... today is..."
While crying, Chunzi was thinking about the reasons for crying in her heart. She had it so hard. She was not prepared at all. She thought she could win over Guo Chengjian with her beauty, but she didn't expect Guo Chengjian to pay the bill and leave. Now she can only rely on her talent to save the situation. Unfortunately, IQ is her biggest shortcoming, which is inversely proportional to her beauty. It is too difficult for her to think of a story that will make anyone cry and feel sad in such a short moment.
Seeing Chunzi sitting there crying and unable to explain, Guo Chengjian couldn't help but ask:
"What happened today?"
"Today is ..."
Chunzi looked up at Guo Chengjian with tears in her eyes. Since she hadn't thought of the next story, she had to let go of Guo Chengjian's left hand, poured herself a full glass of whiskey, and drank it in one breath, saying in a heartbroken voice:
"Today is... Today is..."
It's over, it's over, I can't think of anything, I can't think of anything at all, I even want to laugh, Chunzi slapped herself on the face twice, then drank, not knowing whether to cry or laugh:
"Actually, today is... today is my..."
Before he finished speaking, Chunzi poured himself another large glass of whiskey and drank it in one breath, repeating over and over again, "Today is today." Guo Chengjian sat down and looked at Chunzi, who was crying, and said with concern:
"Stop drinking. What happened today?"
"Today is...a day I can't stand without getting drunk!"
Finally, she said a relatively complete sentence. Guo Chengjian was still waiting for Chunzi to continue. She held the bottle and drank again, one sip after another. The damned Director Jin still didn't come back. Chunzi felt that she might really be drunk. When Chunzi finished a bottle of whiskey, put down the empty bottle, and burped, Guo Chengjian next to her said cautiously:
"Miss Haruko, excuse me, may I ask you what happened today?"
"Shh, be quiet!"
Putting her right index finger on Guo Chengjian's lips, Chunzi raised a smile and said:
"No... No, you can't ask me questions, okay?"
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. Just drink less!"
"I……"
Just as Chunzi was about to say something, Director Jin came in from outside the bar and secretly made an OK gesture, knowing that the operation was successful. As long as he returned the room card, he could leave. Thinking of this, Chunzi took advantage of the alcohol to press Guo Chengjian's cheek and patted him:
"Guo Chengjian, you are still very cute, but you look a little old. I don't like uncles like you!"
Hearing Chunzi's crazy talk, Director Jin, who was standing next to him, secretly sweated. He walked past Guo Chengjian, returned the room card quietly, and then left the bar directly, sitting not far away to drink, glancing at Chunzi and Guo Chengjian inconspicuously. Seeing that the room card was returned to its original owner and there was no problem with the location, Chunzi stood up from his seat, looked at the three-headed Guo Chengjian and said jokingly:
"Sorry, I might be really drunk. I need to go back now. Bye!"
After that, without waiting for Guo Chengjian to speak, Chunzi held the bar and walked out of the bar. Guo Chengjian, who was standing beside her, quickly paid the bill and followed her with concern:
"You are drunk, let me take you home!"
"No... no need, I can do it alone!"
"By the way, can you tell me what happened today?"
"I……"
Looking at Guo Chengjian's curious face, Chunzi, who just wanted to go home and sleep, glanced at Yuan Xudong's watch on her wrist, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in her mind:
"My boyfriend dumped me today. He left me nothing except this watch. I loved him so much and even got pregnant with his child, but he pretended not to know me and was with another girl!"
"Is that the man who stood next to you yesterday?"
"Yes, that's him!"
Chunzi looked at Guo Chengjian and said with a smile:
"My boyfriend...isn't he quite handsome?"
"He's quite handsome. He's here to see you!"
"What?"
"Haruko, we meet again!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's voice, Chunzi felt sick. Could this be the retribution in the legend? With all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, Chunzi looked up at Yuan Xudong and forced a smile:
"Oppa, why are you here? Are you here to take me home?"
"go home?"
Looking at Chunzi who was drunk, Yuan Xudong frowned and said:
"That depends on how you define home. I guess you... um!"
Before Yuan Xudong finished speaking, Chunzi told him to shut up again, using the physical seal trick. If you want someone to shut up, just plug his mouth. Chunzi was obviously well aware of this. She once again plugged Yuan Xudong's mouth with her mouth, allowing Yuan Xudong to taste the taste of high-end whiskey. Seeing Chunzi and her boyfriend Yuan Xudong kissing each other, Guo Chengjian chose to leave in a gentlemanly manner. Before leaving, he nodded to Yuan Xudong in a friendly manner, which confused Yuan Xudong. Is there really such a gentleman who doesn't like women?
