Endless Pursuit

In an instant, all of Hu Jie's discomfort towards the slaughterhouse vanished, her face lighting up with a radiant smile. She was certain that she hadn't felt this elated in a long time.

She had come to see Su Shen today, deliberately not wearing her military uniform. The last time she had worn her most formal and eye-catching uniform, it hadn't garnered his attention. She had wondered if the uniform had masked her feminine charm, rendering her unable to compete with the delicate Gu Zi. So today, she had chosen to wear a long dress instead. Officer Zhao had said it made her look very feminine and elegant.

Her heart was pounding with excitement. Without waiting for Su Shen to approach, she took two steps forward and said, "Su Shen, have you come to meet me? I knew it. Last time, it was only because that woman was there that you avoided me."
