10. I like your mini skirt

Shi Nian hurriedly ran to the parking lot, only to see a police officer standing beside her car, seemingly observing it closely.

What happened to her car? Is it going to get a ticket?

She found it quite odd, so she hurriedly ran up. Perhaps the footsteps startled the officer, as he promptly turned and walked away, leaving her with only his back.

The morning sun in Jiazhou was brightly dazzling, creating a golden reflection on the cars' surfaces, enveloping the officer's silhouette, allowing her to see only the straight back of his uniform.

Tall and slender, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, long and strong legs.

Ye He had worked on the entertainment page before, and she had concluded: Men with such body proportions are the most capable of arousing a woman's "interest."

Shi Nian called out to the officer's back, "Officer, is there something wrong with my car?"

Who would have thought that this man, so close at hand, was the very person she had been tirelessly searching for?

.

Her voice pursued him from behind, like a drop of clear dew piercing through the distracting light mist. It made him feel strangely itchy inside, an itch that made him unable to continue stepping forward, forcing him to stop.

But he didn't turn around.

Trying to suppress that strange itch, he squinted slightly and said, "… I like your mini skirt."

.

What did he say?

Shi Nian quickly glanced down at her skirt.

Today was a formal occasion, and yes, she was wearing a skirt. But it wasn't the mini skirt he mentioned; it was a knee-length professional suit skirt.

Shi Nian gritted her teeth and asked, "Officer, what do you mean by that?"

In broad daylight, right at the police station, did he dare speak nonsense despite being an officer?

.

She was angry.

When a person is angry, their voice cannot have any facade. Her voice at that moment made his heart itch even more.

He squinted his eyes slightly: "… I just wanted to see if what's inside your mini skirt is even more charming."

Shi Nian was completely crazy.

In broad daylight, at the police station, this damn officer was openly harassing her!

"Officer, please explain your words just now! If there's no reasonable explanation, I will file a complaint against you for misconduct at your station!"

.

The itch deeply rooted in his bones returned. But this itch made him feel inexplicably — completely at ease.

So he wasn't angry, only leisurely lowered his head, looked at the shiny brass buttons on his uniform, and hummed lightly: "… Don't dare let me see? What a pity, anything I want, I will eventually get sooner or later."

Then he chuckled softly, his laughter blending into the dazzling light mist, shimmering and diffusing. He walked away into the depths of the light and shadow.

"You!"

Shi Nian, both ashamed and embarrassed, angrily waved her fist.

With the sound of a powerful engine starting, a blue Land Rover sped away, free and agile.

Shi Nian watched the Land Rover drive away, squinting her eyes slightly.

Her Mini and his Land Rover were exactly the same shade of blue. Moreover, her Mini Paceman had always been recognized by industry insiders for its striking resemblance to a Land Rover. Seeing them, one large and one small, they indeed seemed like a pair.
