When A Snail Falls In Love

Chapter 16

Xu Xu astonished for a couple of seconds seeing such an outstanding appearance all of sudden. Add to that, for the first time in her life, an unfamiliar man is holding Xu Xu tightly in his embrace. Under the dimly light, Xu Xu is looking at his face in a close distance. She suddenly thinks of the sunlight filled picture, handsome in a dreamy way.

Ji Bai looks down on her from above to observe her for a few seconds then quickly let go of her body.

Xu Xu quickly returns to her calm demeanor: "Team Ji!"

Ji Bai doesn't answer. His eyes stopped on her delicate neck then raised his hand to touch it.

His action is really fast. Xu Xu can't react in time, and then feel rough fingers glaze over her skin giving her a tinkling sensation. According to natural reaction, Xu Xu furrows her brow then tilts her head to avoid it.

Her response of a hedgehog raising its needle fur makes Ji Bai looks at her once again. The cold and sharp in his eyes went away replaced with light distance smile.

"The wound is shallow, you can take care of it." His voice is even warmer than in the phone while not scary and demanding like before but quite gentle.

Xu Xu touches her neck, blood, so the blade left a cut on your neck: "Yes"

Thinking of the fact that Ji Bai just saved her, his physical ability and his excellent ability to analyze, Xu Xu speaks up in a respectful and sincerely tone: "Thank you sir."

Ji Bai lightly says: "No need. I will find you tomorrow to discuss everything happened tonight. An officer who got held as a hostage by a criminal, you really made me proud."

Xu Xu: "..."

At this time, there is more and more footsteps coming from the surrounding, other officers in the team have arrived.

"Superintendent!"

"Superintendent, you came back?"

Some people shouted up. Yao Meng also appeared. She is a bit stun seeing Ji Bai then speaks up in a clear voice: "Hello superintendent!"

Ji Bai glances over everybody while disregard Xu Xu to works with Zhao Han getting Duong Vu out of here. Seeing his underlie and coworker, his eyes are full of laughter and his face brightens up.

Everyone is all smiling; warm smiles however change to the look anger and despite the moment they facing Duong Vu.

No words of reunion, Ji Bai gives order to everyone:" Mr.N, take 2 people to examine Duong's place. Tieu Tran, Dai Ho and you are to take the criminal to the car. Tieu Trinh, you take everyone else to get testimony. Yao Meng, you take Xu Xu somewhere to take care of her wound.

Everyone looks at Xu Xu, Yao Meng speaks up loudly: Xu Xu, are you alright?"while run fast toward Xu Xu.

"I'm alright, just a light cut." Xu Xu smiles.

Xu Xu rejects Yao Meng's help, Yao Meng doesn't insist then quickly go somewhere else.

Xu Xu goes back to the police's car, opens the first aid box, and looks at the mirror to place 2 bandages on. She can't help and furrow brows. The most injured place is not her neck but her chest.

Just then, Ji Bai pulled her away from Duong Vu with great force. While Xu Xu didn't paid attention then but just now that he grabbed her chest so that place is hurting. Xu Xu's skin is already quite thin and sensitive, there must be purple marks with this amount of pain that she is feeling.

This feeling is strange yet odd, it isn't quite painful but it makes Xu Xu feels uncomfortable. But Xu Xu doesn't think much of it, she massages the injured place seeing that there is nobody else around until it gets a bit better. She gets out of the car and walks toward Duong Vu's dormitory.

Everything else are done very smoothly. The officers found a big amount of knives under Duong Vu's bed in his room, and his "plan" that was written by him. There is time and place along with his thoughts written on it. Duong Vu also obedience accepted guilty of the charges.

Duong Vu lived in a small town close by city L. He came from a good family, also well taken care of since young. When he was 16, his father went bankrupt. His family also went down so his mother divorced his father because of it. His school's achievement has been bad, so after his family trouble he failed to get into college thus he had to go to the city to work. Despite, he always thought that he deserved better than this, he has a bad behavior in his job. Because of that, he hasn't worked at a job for long in his 4 years in this city. His friend back home introduces the job he got before this job. But he often went to play games during his shifts so he eventually gets fired. The team realized that all of this information matched up to what Xu Xu's analyzed data of the suspect.

After everything get finished, Ji Bai told everyone who has been working all nights these last few days to go the station to turn in their guns and leave early to rest, and another experience officer Mr.N and he will inquire Duong Vu.

Getting in the car, Mr.Ngo mentions Xu Xu: " I heard about how Xu Xu get caught as a hostage, she actually almost able to convince Duong Vu to surrender. Your student really isn't simple. Oh that's right, she is somewhat like to you when he just got in the team, so ambitious.

Like him? This idea is quite interesting. Ji Bai laughs.

Right when he got off the plane today, hearing that Xu Xu and Zhu Han are at the park, he quickly goes there. At the park's gate, he realized the strange atmosphere, the park should be quiet at night is now noisy.

Reached the small forest, Jai Bai sees Duong Vu caught Xu Xu. He was about to hit Duong Vu from behind but then he heard Xu Xu's cold threats. Her performance is better than he thought. Despite being a hostage, she was controlling the situation.

When he rescued Xu Xu from Duong Vu, at that moment, what he saw right away was calm and pure black eyes of her. She was caught as a hostage but the moment she saw him, there wasn't any fright or panic, just relief and understanding of the situation.

She recognizes him so slowly greeted him: "Superintendent! "While she didn't realize that on her fragile pale neck, there is a cut that is bleeding disturbingly. She has a firm mental state when the tiny face of her gives off a haze haze expression of a bookworm.

Moreover, one thing that surprised her is that she is very fragile, can't feel any weight holding her in his embrace. Her face is about likeable, but her skin tone is too pale while her skin is too thin, giving off almost no pink blush, makes her look really weak. How can she work with him in life and death situation in this state?

Also, Ji Bai feels there is something not right.

He didn't pay attention when it happened, thinking about it now; he just realized that there was a strange feeling. Actually, the moment he pulled her into his embrace, he accidentally grabbed her chest.

Perhaps, he has been so long since he is this intimate with women; soft and elastic feeling when touched suddenly becomes very real, it still lingers in the palm of his hand.

She has a petite built, but it seems she isn't thin...
