I was led along by Kang Zixian with him holding my hand in full view of the public. Feeling shy and embarrassed, I was not used to such intimacy and tried to break free from his hand. I tried to pull away from him but his hand was very strong and I thought my hand would be crushed by him.
I and Kang Zixian had just staged a wonderful street chase in the rain. Like an exciting gangster movie, after waiting for his hand to capture mine, the rain suddenly became lighter and the sky began to drizzle light rain. As I walked hand in hand with this man in the drizzling rain, no matter how you looked at it, this really looked like a sweet Qiong Yao love drama.
Actually, this time God really had to watch Qiong Yao's love dramas, for me to be the leading lady was not the right choice because the leading man was not pleasing to my eye.
I kept pulling my hand while my mouth was not idle. "Hey, Kang Zixian, let me go. Am I a dog? Leading me along like this......."
I muttered in a low voice. "We are not even familiar with each other, this is kind of strange......."
His hands tightened, stared at me with a sullen face. "Dogs do not slip away as fast as you do."
Smoke was coming out of my head, a bit annoyed, my voice level went up a few points. "Hey, Surnamed Kang, the last time you said I was a cockroach and this time you say I'm not even as good as a dog. Okay, okay, I admit I'm an animal, will that do? I do not match with such noble people like you. Take it as I'm begging you, be magnanimous and let off this small animal. You can also avoid having sore eyes.......Hey! Let me go. Are you leading a dog? !"
I struggled while ranting out a whole lot of nonsensical words, like a thorny hedgehog but Kang Zixian only reasoned with me, sneered and gave a cold laugh. "You are wrong. I'm not noble. I do not want to release you."
I heard and almost fainted.
Droplets of water were slowly slipping down from my forehead to my eyelashes. I did not know whether it was rainwater or my sweat, in short, I was unable to see clearly.
In the past, when I was small, I was naïve and imagined people to be very simple. Bad guys were always evil, good guys were always kind but after growing up and working, I saw more of the dark side of society, especially those cold or warm scenes that connect to their own childhood view of the world. Thieves were sometimes born to love ease and comfort, hated to work and there were thieves who were threatened, forced and misled. Even behind those heinous murderers, there was always a sad story but when they finally woke up, society had stripped them of the opportunity for self-salvation.

After training for several years, I thought Monkey Brother* (Sun Wukong, the monkey character in Journey to the West) had passed on his 'fire eyes' skill to me so that I could see through everything but in front of me, this tall man soaked to his skin had suddenly thrown me into confusion.
First, he would feed me ***soup, then he would feed me ***bitter pills, alternatively, repeatedly until I was poisoned, until I could no longer look at him clearly.
I am not foolish. I have a feeling that he is interested in me, so the last time, when I was sick, he took the opportunity to come right up to my doorstep, to mock and ridicule me as a way of tormenting me.
If someone asks me: A person likes you.....and because he likes you, so he likes to kick you, how will you feel? I think I will give a straightforward answer: Is that person a pervert?
I think Kang Zixian is this type of pervert.
My heart is whispering. The people I come into contact are frank and direct. If you like someone, you admit it and if you hate someone, you loathe him.
Just like Fei Ge, who put a lot of effort into loving the book nerd, Fang Yi Heng for seven years, and she had recently admitted that the feeling of unrequited love had turned diluted as boiled water. Because she did not want to hang herself on this particular tree, so she had decided not to wait any longer and to start looking for another man.
There were many frank and straightforward people around me. Although as adults, they always wore a mask but once they were familiar with each other, occasionally they would show their true nature and would not complicate matters by making others keep on guessing their next move.
To put it bluntly, people around me are the single-celled organism. So, when I meet higher level animals, such as the tall and unpredictable man in front of me, I felt a little confused.
He seems to be interested in me but his words and behavior said otherwise.
It seems he is deliberately playing with me and play until I get furious. When that happens, he will come up and touch my upright hair to comfort me, and smilingly throw me a bone to eat, giving me a difficult choice, to pick it up or not to pick it up, which will really be a torture.
I shouted in my heart: Surnamed Kang, his mother......better give me a knife, I cannot take this slowly anymore......
All the time, Kang Zixian was leading me along the way. He walked in front, seeing that I was obedient and silent, he looked back at me. I sadly looked at him, our eyes met in silence and the heat in his palm made me blushed.
After walking for a while, we met the passers-by who had tried to stop Kang Zixian just now, in the name of justice. He smiled and looked over at us, facing his acquaintance said teasingly. "Yo, just now I really had interfered unnecessarily. It is indeed family matters."
In my heart, I bared my teeth at him and said.....actually....in his eyes, at the best, I would only be his family dog and even his watchdog had more dignity than me.
I felt sad.
I was pulled into the car by Kang Zixian. My body still felt cold with my wet clothes stuck to my skin making me feel cold and uncomfortable.
Shivering, I hugged my arms and my lips trembled.
My teeth chattered, I curled up my shivering body and complained. "Surnamed Kang,...*ge,ge*.....every time I meet you, it does not end well. *ge,ge*....this time, I'm done for. *ge,ge*.....it's endless with you......."
Kang Zixian turned up the car heater to the highest level and threw me a dry towel. "Dry your face."
"Bear for a while." The car quickly slid out in motion. He was looking ahead, droplets of water were running down his distinctive side silhouette, exuding masculinity and sex appeal but cultured people referred to this as 'sexy'.
I blinked my eyes, felt like a piece of dog meat waiting to be cooked in a pot, alertly turned and asked. "Where to?"
He concentrated on driving. "Take a bath first."
"Take a bath?" I froze. In my mind, an image surfaced, there were two birds on the river, one was called mandarin*, the other was called duck*, two silly birds were scrubbing each other's back. (Mandarin duck - two ducks, a male, and a female, together signifies two lovebirds. More information can be found on Wikipedia. The male has a red bill and the female has a white eye rim - pic below)

Suddenly I held up my hands to my chest, shrank into my seat and shouted. "Stinky rogue, what do you want to do? His mother....if you want to take a mandarin duck bath, you can look for your lover, Teacher Ye!"
I was angry and at the same time, I tried to open the car door but the door was locked. The man in the driver seat was apparently feeling unhappy, turned his head around, wrinkled his thick eyebrows and said. "What is your melon head thinking about? Better sit still obediently. Don't force me to use the method like just now, to give you warmth."
Rethinking the situation, I realized that I am a female and had no intention to argue with him. I pursed my lips and embarrassedly gave in to his hypocritical pressure.
But I decided that I still had to emphasize my righteousness.
"That......I will not submit to force, will not change in face of poverty, will not be depraved in face of wealth....."
"I know. You're very righteous."
".......that, how do you know that I am.....*cough, cough*.....police officer?"
"The present wife of your Bureau Chief is Deng Loong's elder cousin sister."
Kang Zixian's explanation was concise and to the point. I was shocked, could not help but curse.
His mother......This was the real Infernal Affairs*, ah...(A famous movie about two undercover agents, one working for the police and the other working for the triad). The triad had even sent their woman to the door of the Bureau Chief, this move was too high-handed. Suddenly I felt that everything I had done in Meise was so ridiculous.
But this time, how could the smart Lao Tan be so muddle-headed? Deng Loong was already a part of Bureau Chief's family-in-law and Lao Tan still dare to send people to move in on them, was he tired of living?
I thought it over again and was able to understand. Among all the parties involved, Lao Tan was not the only one eyeing the position of Bureau Chief. Although Bureau Chief had an immense power he also faced a lot of constraints. For Lao Tan to displace the Bureau Chief, he must first move in on his relatives. He would never let the Bureau Chief know that he had planted his men around Deng Loong. Presumably, Lao Tan had wanted to make his move first and later shoulder the responsibility but did not expect his abacus beads* were not played smoothly. (Abacus is a Chinese manual calculator (pic below) and in this instance means 'calculated moves')
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.I knitted my thin eyebrows thinking of the bureau drama as compared to TVB dramas, was even more exciting but unexpectedly Kang Zixian continued to talk.
"Martin only found out recently but he will not take the initiative to look for your little friend."
"I don't believe you. Dong Zi told me that Deng Loong had sent his men to look everywhere for him."
"Don't you know? Some carnivores will wait until its prey is scared stiff, then only make their move." Kang Zixian turned around, burst into a strange smile, revealing his white teeth. "......and then take a fatal bite."
My hairs stood on ends when I heard him, shocked at the man beside me, who could exude such a blood-filled, fishy-smell tone in his voice. I gulped down my saliva, shrunk back into my seat. "You.....you all....his mother.....are not good people. Stay away from me."
Kang Zixian was beaming at me and said. "Fang Liang Liang, congratulations. Finally, you realized that you have ignited and burnt yourself."
I had the urge to cry.
In the fastest time, Kang Zixian took me to the nearby gym that he frequented for a hot bath. He had thought of everything, even arranged for a female staff to help me buy all the things I needed including undergarments and sent it to me. I held the long-had-not-worn simple light cup in my hands and almost wanted to shed tears.
Many days had passed, I realized I really missed my cup. That scum, Kang Zixian was right. The water-laden sponge was indeed heavy. Even if it was during normal times, without water, it was still heavy enough to cause me chest tightness.
When I was wearing my fake C-cup, watching Teacher Ye on the podium with her genuine cup, my chest felt tired, very tired.
I took a quick hot shower and also hummed a song. Finishing up, I put on the female sportswear that he bought and instantly felt refreshed. And Kang Zixian who had finished his shower earlier was waiting at the door, talking on his phone. After bathing, looking very smart from head to toe, he quickly hung up his call when he saw me come out and walked over.
My face broke into a smile, looked at him up and down, smiling happily and said mockingly. "Yo, Brother, you look good, just like a dog."
Kang Zixian's black eyes narrowed, sharply pulled into a secluded aisle and again trapping me between the wall and himself. I was embarrassed, blinked my eyes several times, my face heated up. He blankly said. "Fang Liang Liang, listen to me. I'm a man and you're a woman. Don't refer to us as brothers, I don't like it."
My heartbeat speeded up and I shifted my body to move away from him. "I like the words.....two brothers......how? Kang Zixian, I'm not familiar with you. If you like to control people, you can control your lover, Teacher Ye."
"Don't let your imagination run wild, I have only seen her once."
"Oh, congratulations then it's......love at first sight."
"Fang Liang Liang! ! ! ! "
Kang Zixian looked fiercely at me, angered by my mischievous messed up provocation.
I was about to make him angrier when unexpectedly the phone in my bag rang. Staring at him, I unzipped my bag and picked up my phone.
Fei Ge was on the line.
"Liang Liang, this is very urgent! My uncle drank too much last night and nearly passed away. Now he is in ICU.....my mother....and my elder aunt nearly passed away with her crying.....my mother. Aiya, that silly cousin of mine, is really silly.....I'm in C-city hospital. It is estimated that these few days, I'll not come back, just to let you know......."
"Oh, Oh...." I answered, then suddenly remembered something, shouted loudly. "Fei Ge, Fei Ge! ! Damn! .....this morning when I came out, I didn't take my keys with me.......ah"
"Ah? Didn't take your keys? You pig brain.....ah! The doctor is calling me, Liang Liang, just look for any bridge underpass and spend a few nights there. I'm going to hang up! ! ! "
"....."
