Chapter 311 First day at work

“How about you drop me at the office?” An Xiulan asked. “It’s my first day at work. Be my lucky charm?”

Han Zixin blinked his eyes as he stared at her. “Today is your first day at the office?”

An Xiulan nodded her head. Her mother, stepfather and even her dad had offered to drop her at the office but she refused them because she had to coax an angry buddha. How could she fall asleep knowing that he was angry at her? She agreed that their relationship had taken a U-turn since… Not thinking about that day again.

“Yep, ” She answered him seriously.

“You will go to the office wearing this?” Han Zixin questioned as he looked at her outfit.

“What’s wrong with my outfit?” An Xiulan questioned. She was wearing a white crop top and pink flared pants. Her pink blazer jacket was still in her car. She believed that she actually looked dope. It had been so long since she had worn something pink.

“You can’t go to the office like this!” Han Zixin said in a stern tone. He went to his room and came with his leather jacket and placed it on her shoulders. When he returned, he was wearing his uniform and she felt her heart beating wildly in her ribcage. How could someone look so ravishing in a police uniform?

As he slipped the jacket on her shoulder, he zipped it up. Not even a speck of skin on her body was visible. She had an urge to pout but seeing how he was behaving, she didn’t say a word. She didn’t even tell him that her blazer was in her car downstairs.

He put a helmet on her head and carried his own while leaving the house. “My car is still not back. I have no other option but to ride a motorcycle.”

“No problem, ” An Xiulan found himself saying. She would return her father’s car later. It wasn’t like his dad lacked cars. She could keep that if she liked.

As she sat behind him on the motorcycle, she slipped his hands on his waist and both of them felt a jolt of spark as their bodies touched. It was such an innocent touch but it felt so weird to them.

There was a wide smile on her face as he was riding the motorcycle and her long hair was flying with the wind as if the petals of peach blossoms were dispersing with a gust of wind. He wasn’t smiling like her but there was a rare shine in his whiskey eyes and he seemed to have been intoxicated by her presence and addicting scent.

It was not the first time she was riding on his bike but anyone didn’t need to know about it. This experience was just as magical as the last one.

Soon, they reached her office and he stopped the motorcycle at the entrance of the building. She climbed down and looked at him, blinking her doe eyes. He removed her helmet and tucked the strand of hair behind her ear.

“Let me see my face, ” An Xiulan said as she leaned closer to him to see her face in the mirror of the motorcycle.

Han Zixin gulped as he could feel softness against his chest. She had no sense of crisis. Did she get around behaving like this? How he wished to keep her in his pocket so nobody could harm her! Oh God, she was hellbent on making him crazy!

“Here, take your jacket, ” An Xiulan said as she tried to unzip the leather jacket.

“Don’t you dare, ” He warned her. “You are a big girl now. Stop acting like an innocent thirteen years old.” He maintained a good one-metre distance between them and added, “Don’t stand close to the guy. Maintain at least a one-metre distance. No matter who it is. Be aware of your surroundings. Also, if you face any problem in the office, tell your dad. Don’t tolerate bullying and gossip as you did in your previous office.”

An Xiulan was nodding his head like a good girl while he was giving a lecture. Should she remind him that she lived in the USA for a whole seven years on her own?

“Are you getting what I’m saying?” Han Zixin questioned. She was so innocent that people would cheat her. What if they would her and she would be left counting money for them?

An Xiulan pinched his hand. As he opened his mouth to react, she instantly put a chocolate candy inside his mouth and he fell silent, staring at her with intense eyes as the familiar taste of candy overwhelmed his mouth.

She opened her handbag and took out a sleek and delicately carved box. She put it in his pocket and said, “Happy first day at the office, Zixin. Don’t be nervous. You can do it! Fighting!”

Han Zixin sighed. How was he supposed to be mad at her when she behaved like this? She was so cute and obedient that he had this dire urge to put her in his pocket and not show her to anyone. She was the most precious treasure in the entire world. If he could he would never share her with anyone.

“Thank you, ” He said in a soft voice. “To be honest, I am a little nervous. I have never been given such a big responsibility. What if I fail my higher-ups?”

“It’s okay if you try and fail, ” An Xiulan said. “I know you always give your best to your job. You work so hard to make our lives safer and more peaceful. If you fail, it’s okay. But I have faith in you. I will pray that you may pass every test thrown your way.”

Han Zixin ended up smiling. This was the reason why his best friend was his favourite human being in the entire world.

“Now go to the office and be your amazing self, ” An Xiulan smiled widely at him. “Don’t forget to give your brother a call. And please don’t be mad at him on my behalf. I begged him to not tell you I’m coming home. He always took care of me there.”

“We will see, ” Han Zixin said while driving away.
