Chapter 32 I Want to Live With You
Su Jianyu looked at the stunned Yan Tingyun and laughed in her heart. Then, she turned around and opened the drawer under her desk. She took out a set of tools then sat in front of her desk and turned on the table lamp. After rummaging through it, she took out the walkie-talkie from her bag and stretched. Su Jianyu deftly disassembled the walkie-talkie.
He planned to use the hacking technology he had just acquired as well as his newfound electronic communication engineering skills. He wanted to improve this walkie-talkie so that it could pick up the communications of the other police officers. Yan Tingyun, who was at the side, had calmed down after a period of time. She was much better, but her head was still a little dizzy. The gaze she used to look at Su Jianyu’s back was extremely complicated. For some reason, she also felt a hint of affection for Su Jianyu.
In her opinion, since things had already happened, there was no room for redemption. Thus, now, no matter how much of a fuss she made, there was no way to change the facts.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yan Tingyun reluctantly filtered her messy thoughts. Then, she heard Su Jianyu’s movements. She felt a little uncomfortable being put aside by Su Jianyu. She didn’t know how to behave next to Su Jianyu for the time being. Therefore, she stood up and slowly approached Su Jianyu. She spoke a little unnaturally,
“What are you doing?”
Halfway through her question, she also approached the table. Su Jianyu’s current movements were reflected in her eyes. Looking at Su Jianyu’s extremely skilled movements, Yan Tingyun’s eyes widened and she blurted out,
“You know how to fix these things?”
Su Jianyu’s movements did not stop and he replied without turning his head.
“I’m not fixing it, I’m improving it.”
Hearing Su Jianyu’s words, Yan Tingyun laughed dryly and felt a little embarrassed. At the same time, she was extremely surprised. She did not expect Su Jianyu to know electrical engineering. Moreover, looking at his skilled movements, he was not any inferior to those professionals.
Su Jianyu was actually so nimble when working on these things. She looked at Su Jianyu’s serious side profile and her heart beat violently for no reason. She could not help but look at Su Jianyu in a new light.
She did not know what else Su Jianyu knew. Did he know a little too much? Yan Tingyun sighed in her heart and watched for a long time. After a period of silence, that same uncomfortable and awkward feeling appeared in her heart again.
She then asked casually.
“When will you let me go?” That look could not be more normal. It was as if she was having a casual conversation with Su Jianyu. Su Jianyu’s hands did not stop moving, but he suddenly laughed.
“You’re really interesting, I didn’t expect you to be so humorous.
“You’re a hostage, but you still want to leave?”
Hearing Su Jianyu’s words, Yan Tingyun’s eyes widened, revealing an incredulous expression.
“If you don’t want to let me go, do you want to live with me?!”
Su Jianyu immediately stopped what he was doing and turned around. His eyes were deep yet bright. Yan Tingyun immediately straightened her back, and her gaze subconsciously shifted away from Su Jianyu’s eyes. Seeing this, Su Jianyu revealed an evil smile.
“That’s right! I want to live with you!”
Hearing Su Jianyu’s answer, Yan Tingyun did not know why, but she did not feel a trace of rejection in her heart. Instead, she had a faint sense of anticipation, and a few images of the future flashed through her mind unconsciously.
This made her face redder and redder. Her gaze became more erratic as she asked with a trembling voice.
“How long… are we going to live together?”
The smile on Su Jianyu’s lips deepened and his tone became more serious.
“That I don’t know. I didn’t count!”
This answer made Yan Tingyun very shy. She wondered to herself if this could be acceptable… However, just as this thought arose in her mind, alarm bells rang in her heart. ‘No, no, no! What am I thinking?’ A few thoughts collided in her mind, and the expression on her face became even more bashful. Then, she immediately lowered her head to look at the ground. When she answered Su Jianyu again, her tone could not help but become a little weaker.
“You… You’re imprisoning me! You’re restricting my personal freedom!”
However, the more she spoke, the more she felt that she should be more forceful. Her last sentence was even a little close to shouting, wanting to use this to show her determination and dignity. However, Su Jianyu did not fall for it at all. Instead, his smile became even brighter as he replied in a slightly cheerful tone.
“That’s right! What’s wrong with that?”
As soon as she said this, Yan Tingyun immediately raised her head. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared fixedly at Su Jianyu. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She had never thought that Su Jianyu would actually admit to it so directly. She choked on her words and did not know how to refute Su Jianyu. She could only stare at him.
At this moment, Su Jianyu seemed to have remembered something and pulled Yan Tingyun over. When Su Jianyu’s hand touched Yan Tingyun’s hand. Yan Tingyun’s heart sped up and her mind went blank! What was he trying to do?!
Then, Yan Tingyun subconsciously closed her eyes. Just as she thought something was going to happen, she suddenly felt her pocket lighten. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Su Jianyu had already turned around and was fiddling with something on the table. She turned her head and saw that on Su Jianyu’s table were her phone as well as Su Jianyu’s phone.
At this moment, Yan Tingyun’s emotions became extremely complicated again. She could not help but look at Su Jianyu with a hint of resentment. However, she did not look at her phone for long. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw that her phone seemed to be displaying a bunch of random codes. This sudden change immediately attracted her attention. She immediately poked her head out and looked over curiously. At the same time, she asked.
“What are you doing? Why is it all gibberish?”
When Yan Tingyun asked, she realized that the gibberish on the phone was still jumping around. Su Jianyu’s hand was still doing something, so she answered casually.
“I’m re-encrypting the phone’s system.”
“Otherwise, the police will use the phone to locate it. If they do that, we’ll be exposed.”
After hearing Su Jianyu’s reply, Yan Tingyun finally saw that what was displayed on the phone was not some random code, but English letters and some special symbols. Although Yan Tingyun could not understand what these were, Su Jianyu’s words made her feel a little incredulous.
She thought that Su Jianyu was daydreaming because it was too difficult! Even if she did not know the technology, she knew that the police’s tracking technology was powerful! Under her suspicious gaze, Su Jianyu fiddled with the system and soon finished re-encrypting the system.
“Done.” Yan Tingyun was very doubtful about this, but she was afraid that she would be looked down upon by Su Jianyu if she opened her mouth rashly. She could only smack her lips and stare at her phone suspiciously.
