In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

I was forcibly kissed?!

Feeling the unfamiliar temperature on his lips, Xu Shi's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Tang Shuang in front of him.

What's going on, sis?! Why are you kissing me all of a sudden?

Yesterday I was joking when I said you were abusing your power to harass innocent young men, but today you're actually doing it for real?

My first kiss! I wasn't pure, I wasn't clean... no, I think I haven't had that thing for a long time...

But he had never been so aggressively dominated before. In the past, he was always the one bullying the sweet and gentle girls until they were dizzy and confused. He had never experienced anything like this before!

The worst part is that you, surnamed Tang, even stick out your tongue, ouch...

However, his shock was only for a moment, and he quickly calmed down. He wasn't really a naive young boy who had just started out. What was there to be afraid of if someone kissed him?

Especially considering Tang Shuang is such a beauty, it's definitely a good deal.

To be honest, her technique isn't very good. How about I take the initiative and kiss her back?

Just as Xu Shi was thinking this, Tang Shuang suddenly sprang back as if she had been electrocuted and returned to her seat.

Her expression was somewhat complicated, a mixture of shyness and a half-smile.

"Tang Shuang, you..."

This was an expression Xu Shi had never seen on her face before, so he couldn't help but blurt out a question.

Things that need to be clarified still need to be clarified.

"Um, don't get me wrong."

Tang Shuang subconsciously touched her lips, forcing herself to remain calm as she explained, "This is to thank you for saving me earlier... um, a gift, yes, a gift."

At first glance, this statement makes perfect sense. Saving someone's life is a great debt of gratitude. She was only yelling at Xu Shi because she was confused, not because she was really angry with him. She should be thanking him.

But why are you being so grateful? You saved my life and I'll repay you with my own – that's more in line with your style, Director Tang. This kind of gratitude, almost like a young girl offering herself to someone, is not elegant at all.

She couldn't even fool herself with such a lame excuse; the truth was that she had kissed him on a whim, without thinking about anything else.

"that's it?"

Xu Shi's slightly puzzled voice came through.

"Otherwise, what should we do?"

Director Tang avoided looking at him, lest he see his increasingly burning cheeks. "Do you think I like you?"

"Oh~~~"

Xu Shi gave a sarcastic "oh" and winked mischievously, "Even if someone likes me, it's nothing. I'm so charming, it's normal for people to like me."

"No! Shut your mouth and drive!"

Tang Shuang denied it with shame and indignation, even a little exasperated. How could she possibly say such a thing?

He even asked in such a cheeky way... You're just sitting back and doing nothing, aren't you? She had heard before that Chairman Xu of "Snake Ring" was shameless, but today she witnessed it firsthand.

"Good good."

Seeing this, Xu Shi stopped teasing her and obediently took on the role of a police officer driving the car, humming a little tune as he restarted the car as if nothing had happened.

Tang Shuang calmly and serenely held her water glass, closed her eyes like an old cadre, and began to rest.

But this was just her disguise. In reality, Director Tang was so ashamed he wanted to die, and inside he felt like a chorus of groundhogs was roaring.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

What did I just say?!

That was probably the best opportunity, right? First, we fought side by side, then we had a confession session, and we even kissed... but in the end! In the end!

What do you mean by "Do you think I like you?" Isn't that just blocking your path? Tang Shuang, are you crazy?

Now it's all right, it's like nothing happened again, all confused and bewildered, hmm...

Tang Shuang suddenly felt a little wronged.

Because she knew Xu Shi was a womanizer; heaven knows how many girls had ambiguous relationships with him. She was certain of quite a few, like Xie Qingyan from "Prism," who was his fiancée, and that young girl she met at the party, what was her name again...

This also means that she is not the only one, and may not even be competitive at all—Director Tang's private life is actually a bit twisted in a sense. Her superpower has brought about a complication of rampant desires, but she is completely clueless about things like serious dating.

I definitely wouldn't attract him like this, right? Just look at his nonchalant expression; it's probably really over now…

"This is how to do ah……"

She whispered something in a voice only she could hear, regretting her poor performance in failing to seize the opportunity.

But Director Tang was not one to give up easily, and after much thought, he was still unwilling to let it go.

Anyway, he's still around, and as long as he's around, there's still a chance!

So she immediately started thinking about how to make amends. You could tell she was extremely nervous; the cup in her hand was almost crushed...

Have it.

“Xu Shi, Xu Shi, Xu Shi”

She took a deep breath, adopting a calm demeanor, and asked, "How...are you feeling?"

"Ok?"

Xu Shi didn't understand her seemingly random question. "What do you mean, 'how'?"

"So... how did you feel just now?"

Tang Shuang forced a smile and said, "I, cough, this is also my first time meeting someone, I don't have much experience, so, so I'm asking you."

That's true. It wasn't Xu Shi's first kiss, but it was hers.

Miss Tang Shuang, who was twenty-six years old at the time, probably never imagined that she would give away her virginity in this way.

"Well..."

Xu Shi suppressed a laugh, licked his lips, and replied, "Not bad? Quite comfortable."

It's really good.

Her lips were as sweet as flower petals, and the older sister's shyness, accompanied by a faint minty flavor, was a wonderful experience.

"Oh, so it seems you're quite satisfied?"

Tang Shuang was secretly delighted upon hearing this, but she didn't show it. "That's good, at least I didn't lose too much face."

She tried her best to appear like a seasoned pro.

The next second, she was once again broken down by Xu Shi's words.

"Whether I'm satisfied or not doesn't matter, right? You don't like me anyway, so why are you asking how I feel?"

"I……"

Director Tang was speechless again, and for a moment he was a little confused.

How come we've already hit the most sensitive topic before we've even exchanged two sentences? Shouldn't we have laid the groundwork with a few words of introduction? I hadn't even thought of what to say yet...

She didn't realize at all that the topic she chose was problematic in itself.

"We're almost at the inspection bureau."

Xu Shi seemed completely oblivious to her constipated expression, continuing to drive. "I spoke with Lieutenant Yu—no, Director Yu—and you were frightened today, so remember to get some rest when you get home. By the way, do you need anything tomorrow...?"

"Shut up! Listen to me!"

Seeing that he seemed completely indifferent to her, Tang Shuang stopped struggling and agonizing, sat up abruptly, and then almost shouted.

"I, Tang Shuang, just like you, Xu Shi. So what? Is that not allowed?! Is it not allowed?!"

The atmosphere immediately quieted down.

Tang Shuang gasped for breath. She had never imagined that speaking could be so tiring, especially speaking the truth that was almost forced out. Just a few words were enough to exhaust her.

"...Of course you can."

Xu Shi slammed on the brakes, then turned to look at her. "I already said, it would be strange if you didn't like me, I'm so charming."

"you……"

This answer caught Director Tang off guard, and the smile on the other person's face left her momentarily stunned.

Looking around again, where was the inspection bureau? It was still almost a 15-minute drive away...

"You, you did this on purpose?"

She suddenly understood everything, and pointing at Xu Shi, she asked, at a loss for what to do.

"That's right?"

Xu Shi's smile grew even brighter. "I also feel a little regretful that I can't hear your true feelings."

"then you……"

Tang Shuang suddenly felt a little dizzy. Did he want to hear himself say he liked him? So, did he also...?

I never said I didn't like you, did I?

Xu Shi looked like he had just pulled off a prank. "But I'm shy and don't dare to reveal my feelings first. I'll only feel at ease after you tell me."

That's pure nonsense. If you were always shy, then there would be no brave people in the world.

Ultimately, it's just that this guy is too wicked. Whether it's peeling away other people's hearts layer by layer like an onion or preferring girls to take the initiative, it's all part of his consistently perverse sense of humor.

"Who would believe your nonsense..."

Tang Shuang, of course, was not intimidated by these words. She glared at him resentfully, as if to say, "You think it's funny to see me like this?"

"You were the one who acted arrogantly first. Believe me, arrogance doesn't work these days."

Xu Shi chose to shift the blame back, seizing the moral high ground, "But anyway, doesn't it feel better to say it out loud?"

"hold head high……"

Director Tang didn't object to this. Even if Xu Shi said he wasn't interested in her, he wouldn't have any regrets, let alone hear the answer he hoped for—that they were mutually in love.

He likes me too...that's even better.

She cautiously reached out her hand to Xu Shi, who grabbed it without hesitation.

The two looked at each other and smiled.
