A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

The city's neon lights faded away at midnight, leaving only the warm yellow light of "Old Chen's Barbecue" at the alley entrance.

The charcoal sizzled, and the aroma of grilled skewers mingled with the crispness of ice-cold beer, filling the air above the bustling crowd.

Su Wan stuffed the last skewer of grilled pork belly into her mouth, the oil dripping down her lips.

She casually raised her hand and wiped it off, leaving a faint mark on her fair cheek with a bit of sauce on her fingertips.

Lin Weiwei, sitting opposite, was already half-drunk and muttering to herself while slumped over the table.

"Wanwan, I can't take it anymore... I really can't drink anymore. If I keep drinking, my husband will come and get me with a broom."

Su Wan chuckled, picked up the ice-cold beer can on the table, and took another big gulp from the bottle.

The cool liquid slid down her throat, dispelling the sweltering heat of the summer night and adding a touch of arrogance to the languid look in her eyes.

She was already eye-catching, and tonight she wore a black cropped T-shirt that showed off her slender waistline, paired with high-waisted denim shorts that made her legs look long and thin.

Her slightly wavy long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few stray strands clinging to her sweaty neck. Combined with the nonchalant charm in her eyes, she looked every bit the enchanting beauty.

"Promising."

Su Wan patted Lin Weiwei on the back, her voice slightly hoarse from drinking.

"I passed out after only three bottles. Who's going to have my late-night snack with me now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of steady footsteps came from the alley entrance.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the surrounding diners, the footsteps were rhythmic and powerful, approaching step by step with an undeniable presence.

Su Wan subconsciously looked up, her gaze piercing through the swirling smoke, and she was instantly captivated.

The person who arrived was wearing a dark blue police uniform. The crisp uniform accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the star-shaped epaulets on his epaulets gleamed coldly under the lights.

He was very tall, at least 1.9 meters, and had a robust build.

Every step he took exuded power, like a lurking beast; even when he was just standing casually, he had an imposing aura.

The man had deep, distinct facial features, with sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples, and a pair of dark, deep eyes that looked like icy pools. When he swept his gaze over the noisy barbecue stall, his eyes held a hint of scrutiny and aloofness.

Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips were tightly pressed together, their lines hard and cold. His jawline was sharply defined, exuding an undeniable sense of authority.

A few strands of black hair hung down his forehead, swaying slightly in the night breeze, softening his coldness and adding to his ascetic sensuality.

Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the beer can in her hand.

She had seen many handsome men, but none of them had ever blended the dignity of the uniform, the hormones of his physique, and the coldness of his face as perfectly as the man in the police uniform in front of her.

That dangerous yet alluring aura captivated her like a magnet.

"Holy crap..."

Su Wan subconsciously let out a soft gasp and nudged the drunken Lin Weiwei next to her with her elbow.

"Weiwei, look! She's gorgeous!"

Lin Weiwei groggily raised her head, glanced at it, and then slumped down again.

"What's so special about him... he's just a cop..."

"Is this what they call 'just a policeman'?"

Su Wan's eyes shone brightly, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"Look at that figure, that face, that aura—she's practically a walking hormone generator!"

She was never one to follow the rules; she was rebellious and daring by nature. Now, under the influence of alcohol and the man's good looks, she took the "forgetting friends for the sake of beauty" mentality to the extreme.

As soon as the man sat down at an empty seat in the corner of the barbecue stall, ordering only two skewers and a bottle of mineral water, Su Wan's inner devil instantly kicked in.

"Weiwei, wait here, I'll be right back."

Su Wan patted Lin Weiwei on the shoulder, and before she could respond, she picked up another can of ice-cold beer from the table, straightened her T-shirt to make sure her waistline was just right, and then walked briskly toward the man.

She deliberately slowed her pace, and when she reached the man's table, she stumbled unintentionally, and the beer can in her hand landed on his table with a "thud," making a crisp sound.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Su Wan raised her head, a sweet yet slightly mischievous smile on her face, her eyes glistening with tears.

She deliberately moved closer to the man, and a faint scent of gardenia mixed with the smell of beer wafted towards him.

"I lost my balance, do you mind if I sit here? It's all full around here."

The man looked up at her, his dark eyes deep, and his gaze lingered on her face for only two seconds before he looked away.

His voice was deep and cold, carrying an undeniable distance: "I mind."

The word "simple" was like a bucket of cold water poured over Su Wan's head.

She paused for a moment, then laughed again, showing no sign of backing down.

She pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down, leaning forward slightly, placing her hands on the table to reveal her slender, fair wrists, her fingertips lightly tracing the cool surface.

"Officer, don't be so cold."

Su Wan's voice softened, becoming deliberately coquettish, but her eyes made no attempt to hide as she looked the man up and down.

From his broad shoulders to his crisp uniform, and even the way his hands rested on the table—

Those hands were large, with distinct finger bones and clear palm lines.

He was holding a bottle of mineral water, his knuckles slightly white from the force he was using.

"You're out for a late-night snack so late? Did you just get off work? You must be tired."

The man didn't look at her; he simply picked up the skewers on the table and ate them slowly and deliberately, his movements elegant and restrained.

Even at the bustling barbecue stand, there was a sense of quiet solitude that seemed out of place with its surroundings.

He chewed slowly, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, its smooth, sexy lines making Su Wan's heart skip a beat again.

"My name is Su Wan."

She introduced herself and reached out to touch the man's arm, but he slightly turned away to avoid it.

"Officer, what's your name? Judging by your epaulets, you must hold a high rank. Are you the captain of the criminal investigation team?"

She deliberately brought up the profession of criminal police captain, her eyes filled with a hint of probing and expectation.

She likes men who exude authority and power; the more indifferent they are, the more it arouses her desire to conquer them.

The man finally looked up again, his gaze landing on her face.

This time, his gaze was even colder than before, as if he were looking at an unreasonable troublemaker.

"Miss."

His voice was devoid of any warmth.

"I'm just here for a late-night snack and don't want to be disturbed. Please leave."

"disturb?"

Su Wan raised an eyebrow, but instead of getting up, she moved closer to the other side of the table.

She was almost over the table, less than half a meter away from the man.

She could clearly smell the faint scent of disinfectant mixed with the warmth of the sun on the man's body—the unique smell of his uniform that made her heart race.

"Officer, you can't say that. Meeting each other is fate. Look, we both like to come to this barbecue stall, which means we have the same taste. That's destiny."
