That night, in the innermost office on the third floor of the office building.

Boom, boom, boom.

A soft knock sounded on the door.

"Enter."

Chen Zheng's voice came from inside.

The door was pushed open a crack.

The keyboard, holding a laptop, slowly squeezed in, sideways.

She kept her head down, her gaze fixed on her toes, not daring to look around, only able to catch glimpses of the figure behind the desk out of the corner of her eye.

"Teach...instructor."

The keyboard asked softly, "You...you wanted to see me?"

Late at night, a man and a woman, alone together in a room.

The keyboard felt its cheeks burning, and its mind was almost unable to process anything.

"You're here?"

Chen Zheng put down the documents in his hand and looked up.

Seeing the keyboard looking like it wanted to shrink into a crack in the ground, he raised an eyebrow.

Why is this girl so wary?

It seems that to break through her defenses, I need to use a gentler approach.

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng put on what he considered a very kind smile.

Instead of giving orders from his chair as usual, he stood up.

Splash!

The chair was pushed away.

Chen Zheng walked around the desk, went to the water dispenser, and took out a disposable paper cup.

"Don't stand, sit down."

"It's so late at night, and you've just eaten so much meat, you must be thirsty?"

As Chen Zheng spoke, he poured himself a cup of warm water, added some hot water, and tested the temperature.

Then, he walked over to the keyboard and handed it to him.

"Here, have some water to soothe your throat."

Keyboard looked at the water glass handed to him, then at Chen Zheng's smiling face, and froze.

This is the devilish instructor who can kick people flying with one kick and throw them into the mud to be raised like pigs!

He actually poured himself some water?

And he's smiling so...kindly?

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft!

"What's wrong? Don't you like to drink water?"

Seeing that she didn't take it, Chen Zheng assumed she didn't like it and turned to walk back. "Then shall I get you a bottle of Coke? I remember there's still a chilled one in the cabinet..."

"No! No need!"

Startled, Keyboard grabbed the paper cup and exclaimed, "I'll drink it! I'll drink it right now!"

She held the cup with both hands and gulped it down in several large mouthfuls, almost choking herself.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Drink slowly, I'm not going to take it from you."

Chen Zheng casually pulled over a chair, placed it behind the keyboard, and patted the back of the chair.

"Sit down and talk, don't just stand there, make yourself at home."

He carefully sat down at the keyboard, only daring to touch the edge of the chair with his bottom, his back ramrod straight, ready to launch himself at any moment.

What exactly is the instructor trying to do?

Or……

She secretly glanced up and met Chen Zheng's eyes, which were fixed on her.

In order to find a way to trigger the hidden mission, Chen Zheng was now observing her intently, trying to find a breakthrough.

His eyes were focused.

But this look appears entirely different to the keyboard user, who is currently overthinking things.

Is it eyeing its prey?

Or is he looking at...his sweetheart?

It's over.

The keyboard felt like its cheeks were so hot they could fry an egg on them.

Could it be that what Ram and the others said was true, and that the instructor really had feelings for her?

"Meiren."

Chen Zheng pulled over another chair and sat down opposite her, leaning forward slightly to close the distance between them.

At the same time, try to make your voice sound very gentle in order to lower the other party's guard.

Actually, I've always been paying attention to you.

"From the first day you joined the team, I felt that you were different from the others."

My fingers gripped the paper cup tightly as I typed the keyboard, my heart pounding wildly.

Different?

"I know you're having something on your mind."

Chen Zheng stared into her eyes, his tone becoming even softer.

There are no outsiders here today, just the two of us.

"I want to...get to know you better."

boom!

The keyboard was completely stunned.

In the middle of the night, a lone man and woman, getting to know each other better?

"Instructor... Instructor..." Keyboard felt like it was about to suffocate.

Seeing that she reacted, Chen Zheng felt that there seemed to be some explanation.

As long as the atmosphere is right, I'm not afraid she won't tell the truth.

So he decided to strike while the iron was hot and get straight to the point.

"Meiren, what I actually wanted to ask was..."

Chen Zheng paused, his expression turning serious.

"Is there anyone else in your family?"

"If it's convenient, could I see him?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue for the keyboard user.

This... he's already meeting the parents?!

The keyboard's brain went completely blank.

She looked at Chen Zheng, who was standing very close to her.

He might be a bit fierce at times, but he's undeniably handsome and incredibly capable...

If it's true, it seems like I wouldn't be at a disadvantage?

But this is so sudden!

"I...I..."

Keyboard was flushed, its lips trembled, and its hands were nervously twisted together.

"Instructor... I feel... we're progressing too fast..."

Chen Zheng was taken aback.

quick?

Do we really need to spend days getting to know someone's family background?

"Isn't it unpleasant?" Chen Zheng frowned. "These things shouldn't be delayed. The sooner we resolve them, the sooner you can have peace of mind."

Solve it sooner? Get peace of mind sooner?

The keyboard suddenly looked up, its eyes filled with shock.

Is this the efficiency of a big shot? Even dating requires speed.

"But...but I'm not ready to meet your parents yet..."

The keyboard has closed its eyes; it's truly at its wit's end.

"And besides, my household registration booklet is still in my hometown, I didn't bring it with me..."

"Could we...could we start by holding hands...?"

As she spoke, she stretched out a trembling hand and placed it on the desk.

The air seemed to freeze in that instant.

Chen Zheng was holding a thermos and about to drink water, pondering how to break down the keyboard's defenses, when he heard this, his hand froze in mid-air.

His expression gradually became blank, and finally his brows furrowed deeply.

What is that?

See parents?

Household registration booklet?

Holding hands?

Chen Zheng looked at the little hand waiting to be taken on the table, then at the keyboard with its eyes closed and a shy expression, and fell silent.

He was at his wit's end.

A full minute passed.

The keyboard, still waiting for the warmth of that large hand, opened one eye in confusion.

Chen Zheng was staring at her with a dark expression.

Snapped.

Chen Zheng slammed the thermos down.

"Comrade Meiren."

Chen Zheng took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth:

"What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long?!"

"I'm your instructor!"

"I need to understand your family background! To prevent you from developing any psychological problems!"

"Who wants to hold your hand!"

"Return the household registration booklet... You're dreaming!"

The roar echoed through the office.

The hand on the keyboard jerked back.

Her face flushed red and then turned pale, finally turning ashen, and she felt that it would be best to die at this point.

It’s over.

This is truly a disaster.
