Chapter 16. Uncle with meticulous thinking
After talking about his own affairs, the man asked, “Miss Lin, why did you initially choose the profession of a police officer?”
Lin Dongxue said with a stiff smile, “There’s no real reason. I just like it.”
“Oh, so that’s what it was. I think you did well in choosing your career. Police officers still count as civil servants. The salary and benefits aren’t too bad. The status for girls like you multiplies after a few years in the force. It would probably give you more options in terms of choosing your partner.”
When she heard this, Lin Dongxue couldn’t handle it anymore. “What do you mean? You think I chose to be a police officer to add value to myself so that I could marry better in the future?” she demanded.
The man smiled. “We are just chatting, why don't you stop being so sensitive? Being a police officer is also a profession. Is it any different from other professions?”
“I didn't say that being a police officer is superior to other professions, but it’s very uncomfortable for me when you put it the way that you did!”
“And the reason being?”
“If we can’t communicate, there is no need to continue even half a sentence longer. I apologize but I do not think we are suited for each other. I will be taking my leave.”
After excusing herself, Lin Dongxue stood up and walked away. The man chased after her and shouted “Hey! Hey, wait.” When he caught up, the man grabbed her wrist.
Lin Dongxue turned back angrily, “What are you doing?!”
The man smiled and urged, “Don’t be in a rush to leave. The food hasn't even been eaten yet. I spent a few hundred dollars on it. I think we should learn a bit more about each other on a deeper level.”
“I am not interested in you. Let go!”
Lin Dongxue’s voice attracted the attention of other guests. The man smiled and explained to them, “Nothing to see here, just a little quarrel with my girlfriend!”
“Who is your girlfriend!?” Lin Dongxue broke her hand away in anger.
After a few steps, the man grabbed her shoulder from behind. “Miss Lin. Actually, I believe in love at first sight. Would you give me a chance?”
Lin Dongxue was so angry that she grit her teeth. Why hadn’t she refused to come to this blind date? At this time, Chen Shi came in from outside and stopped in front of the two. Chen Shi confronted the man, “Sir, don’t you think your actions are a bit out of line? She’s clearly not interested in you, yet you refuse to take no for an answer. What’s the point in that?”
“Who the hell are you?!” The man showed a hostile look.
“My friend!” Lin Dongxue rushed to get out and took Chen Shi's hand.
When the man saw that the two were so close, the man backed off. A resentful look came over his face. He fumed, “Miss Lin, are you kidding me? You have a boyfriend but came to a blind date? I’ve wasted hundreds of yuan on ordering these dishes and my precious time in order to meet you. I think you have a serious problem with your character!”
