Poor Xin Yi could only turn away, bringing the shoelaces that tightly bound his hands to the blade of a small dagger stuck in the floor to cut them. However, the shoelaces were tied so tightly that he risked cutting himself on the blade. After much effort, he finally managed to cut the shoelaces binding his hands. Xin Yi was so furious that he felt blood rushing to his head. That little brat! Next time, he would definitely find an opportunity to teach her a lesson! She needed to understand that in this world, it wasn't just women and petty people who were hard to deal with; men also had their grievances to settle!
As for women, Xin Yi pondered what the most effective punishment would be. Was it to push them down and have his way with them? That seemed to put men at a disadvantage, right? So, should he let her push him down and then have his way with her? But that would hurt his pride, wouldn't it? Why was this so complicated?
Now, Shu Rui could be said to have completely transformed. During the time Xin Yi had returned, he had been staying at her house. After becoming a woman, Shu Rui radiated vitality. She smiled more often at work, and even her assistant and close friend Wang Fang teased her from time to time, saying she was now a happy woman basking in love and secretly inquiring if Xin Yi was particularly strong in that aspect. Otherwise, why did she always have a blooming look on her face?
After another passionate entanglement, Shu Rui felt as if her entire body had melted away. She lay limply in Xin Yi's arms, tracing circles on his chest with her fingers. Both of them seemed too exhausted to speak, lost in the lingering sensations of their intimate connection.
"I might have to leave again for a while," Xin Yi finally said.
"Where are you going this time? How long will you be gone?" Shu Rui had grown accustomed to Xin Yi's frequent travels, so she felt no surprise at his announcement. She calmly asked where he was going and how long he would be away without even asking what he would be doing.
"This time it's to Yongzhou. I can't say for sure how long it will take; if things go smoothly, it will be quick," Xin Yi gently wrapped his arms around Shu Rui's smooth shoulders and kissed her forehead, saying, "I'm sorry; I won't be back for long this time."
Shu Rui sighed inwardly but replied with a smile, "Don't give me those sentimental farewell words; that's not the Xin Yi I know. The Xin Yi I know is the kind of carefree man who comes and goes like the wind. You're making me feel like I don't even recognize you anymore, haha..."
A carefree man who comes and goes like the wind—hahaha... That description really suits me! I like it! Xin Yi felt secretly pleased and rewarded himself by pulling Shu Rui closer and giving her tempting lips a deep kiss while laughing, "Still my Xiaorui understands me well, hahaha..."
"Who do you think you are calling your Xiaorui? Don’t think that just because you say that I’ll owe you anything. Let me tell you; I'm quite the flirt! If you misbehave one day, I'll write you a letter of separation and make you move back to your mother's house!" Shu Rui laughed. "By the way, who else is going with you this time?"
"This matter concerns the entire drug source in Binhai, so I've decided to take Officer Lu from the Criminal Police Team with me," Xin Yi replied. He didn't want to show his resentment towards Lu Hanmeng; after all, he had suffered silently today and couldn't tell anyone about it. If Shu Rui knew how much trouble Lu Hanmeng had caused him, she'd probably laugh herself silly—this carefree man would have completely fallen into a pit.
"Oh? Officer Lu?" Shu Rui turned over in Xin Yi's arms with newfound interest and looked at him with a smile on her face. "You mean that girl Lu Hanmeng? Hmm, she's quite suitable as your partner."
"Suitable?" Xin Yi nearly cursed out loud—how could partnering with someone like that Violent Girl be considered suitable? Right now, Xin Yi wished nothing more than to tear her apart and make her beg for mercy. Yet Shu Rui actually said she was suitable as his partner; what did she mean by that?
"Yes! Don't you think she's suitable as your partner?" Shu Rui blinked her big watery eyes and said, "Although Hanmeng has a bit of a fiery temper, if police officers were as quiet as cats, could they still be police officers? Besides, her Kung Fu is quite impressive; she can help you when necessary. Most importantly, she's also stunningly beautiful—it's nice just looking at her together. Don't you agree?"
"Come on!" Xin Yi scoffed and pouted in response. "She might be passable in beauty terms but as for being stunningly beautiful—that title truly belongs to the one beside me! Look at her; she's making me restless again."
"Stop! You never take anything seriously," Shu Rui pushed away Xin Yi's wandering hand and said. "Being stunningly beautiful and passably beautiful are basically the same thing; why can one be called stunningly beautiful while the other can't?"
"This is something you wouldn't understand, right?" Xin Yi explained while shaking her head. "Actually, the true origin of the saying 'drowning fish and falling geese' goes like this: back in the day, when Xi Shi was washing silk, her family was poor and she hadn't eaten enough for lunch. While she was washing, a few fat fish swam by. Seeing them made her hungry, so she grabbed a nearby branch and started poking at them. The fish didn't escape and ended up getting speared by her, sinking into the water. That's how the saying about drowning fish came about. As for falling geese, it refers to Wang Zhaojun leaving the fortress. Her group had run out of provisions while crossing the desert and their stomachs were growling with hunger. Just then, a flock of wild geese flew overhead, so Wang Zhaojun ordered her attendants to shoot them down for food. However, the geese were flying high and it was difficult to hit them. In the end, Wang Zhaojun got angry and personally drew her bow, shooting down an entire flock to solve their hunger problem. Now you know, this is the real story behind 'drowning fish and falling geese.' I think with Lu Hanmeng's violent personality, this kind of thing would really suit her."
After hearing Xin Yi's nonsensical explanation, Shu Rui laughed until tears streamed down her face. Wiping her tears away, she said, "Hahaha... How did ancient beauties turn into mere gluttons in your words? Poking fish and shooting geese—this is hilarious!"
"What's wrong with being a glutton? For those ancient people, having fish and wild geese to eat was already considered a decent life. Those are meat products! In an era where even thin porridge was hard to come by, having meat must have been incredibly appealing! What's wrong with beauties? Don't beauties like to eat meat? After all, as they say, 'food and sex are human instincts,' so filling one's stomach is a basic instinct for everyone, including beauties!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Your explanation makes sense," Shu Rui laughed. "But what if Hanmeng wants to indulge in those instincts while she's with you? You said it's a human instinct that even beauties are not exempt from."
"What do you take me for?" Xin Yi replied seriously. "Am I someone who likes to take advantage of every opportunity?"
Shu Rui thought carefully before responding seriously, "From what I know, you are."
Uh... Xin Yi felt embarrassed; it turned out that Shu Rui saw her as someone who loves to take advantage of every opportunity. Xin Yi was quite angry; she knew it was true but felt Shu Rui shouldn't say it so directly. At least leave her some face.
"If such an opportunity arises, don't hold back; just do what you need to do. Don't worry; I support you," Shu Rui said.
Xin Yi thought seriously for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright then, I'll listen to you."
Shu Rui burst into laughter and teased, "Don't put that hat on my head! You've probably been planning this all along, haven't you? Don't try to fool me; I know you too well."
"..." Xin Yi was speechless.
"Alright, enough of that. When are we planning to leave?" Shu Rui asked softly while wrapping her arms around Xin Yi's waist.
"I don't know; I'm ready to go anytime. It's just that I don't know how things are on her side. She still needs to consult her superiors and discuss things with her family. However, given Lu Hanmeng's impulsive nature, it should be happening in a day or two," Xin Yi replied. Considering Lu Hanmeng's temperament, she might even leave tomorrow.
"Yeah, I understand Hanmeng's personality; it should be tomorrow," Shu Rui said before retracting her hand from Xin Yi's waist. She began drawing circles on Xin Yi's chest with her finger, gradually moving downwards—to her abdomen, then lower... until she leaned in with sultry eyes and a sweet voice saying, "So tell me, shouldn't we cherish tonight's time together?"
"Oh... Yes, yes! We should cherish tonight," Xin Yi had already sensed the signal from Shu Rui's expression that they were ready for action. So what if it was a one-on-one challenge? Who's afraid of whom? Bring it on! Since ancient times, who hasn't faced death? If one must die, let it be in style!
"Do you mean, a little more?" Xin Yi asked.
Shu Rui shyly nodded and replied, "Actually, you could have a bit more..."
Thus, one two three four, two two three four, three two three four, four two three four, change positions, and do it again...
Xin Yi was awakened by the sound of his phone ringing. After a night of passionate entanglement with Shu Rui, it was already nearly nine o'clock. Shu Rui had gone to work without waking him up. This kind of thing always seemed to leave men at a disadvantage; otherwise, why were men always exhausted afterward while women appeared refreshed?
Xin Yi picked up his phone and saw it was a local number he didn't recognize. He answered, "Hello, who is this?"
"Mr. Xin, this is Lu Jianming from the City Bureau," came a man's voice on the other end.
"Director Lu? Oh, hello!" Xin Yi quickly sat up in bed. Lu Jianming was someone he respected greatly, and it felt inappropriate to take his call while lying down.
"Hello! I wanted to ask if you could come to the City Bureau now? Or where are you? I can come to find you. I have something I want to discuss with you," Lu Jianming said.
"I'll come to the City Bureau to see you. It's been a while since I've visited your office anyway; Wang mentioned me just a few days ago," Xin Yi replied.
