The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Chen Shi slept until eleven o'clock before waking up. After stretching his muscles, he felt like he had inexhaustible energy.

Being young is great; after a good night's sleep, your body is back to normal.

Jiang Yiqiu walked into the room and saw that Chen Shi was awake. He smiled and said, "Breakfast is ready. Get up and have some."

Chen Shi got up, dressed, washed up, and ate a bowl of noodles. The noodles tasted good. He thought that if he opened a noodle shop, the business should be quite good.

Girls from rural areas have it easy; 80% of them are pretty good cooks. Unlike city girls, Qin Min is a typical example. She can't even cook noodles, and her mother won't let her go into the kitchen, thinking that learning to cook is just serving others.

What kind of twisted logic is that? Cooking is for yourself. If you're a strong woman, no one would dare ask you to cook. Take Empress Wu Zetian, for example. Anyone who would dare ask her to cook would be asking for trouble.

If you're an ordinary person and don't cook, are you going to eat out every day? When you have kids, you'll have to cook for them, right?

As Chen Shi ate his noodles, he thought that a woman like Qin Min was only suitable for dating; marriage was out of the question, as he would have to take care of her.

Breaking up seems to be the right choice; some people are only suited for romance, not for the mundane realities of daily life.

Wang Yanhong is suitable for marriage and a stable life. Jiang Yiqiu in front of her is okay for a stable life, but not stable.

Seeing Chen Shi looking at him, Jiang Yiqiu smiled slightly and said, "Why are you looking at other people?"

"It's good that it's beautiful; it's pleasing to the eye."

Jiang Yiqiu was overjoyed by Chen Shi's praise: "I'm not as pretty as you say."

I didn't say anything, and Chen Shi continued eating his noodles.

"Let's go hiking later, to enjoy the spring scenery. If we don't go now, summer will be here."

Chen Shi had nothing else to do, so he took a sip of soup and said, "Okay, I'll go with you today. Wherever you want to go, that's where we'll go."

Chen Shi pushed the bowl in front of Jiang Yiqiu. Jiang Yiqiu cleared away the dishes and put them in the kitchen. She then changed into a white dress and high heels. When she went out, she would definitely turn heads. If Chen Shi wasn't around, she would get at least a dozen people asking for her contact information every day.

Seeing Chen Shi staring intently, Jiang Yiqiu chuckled, "Never seen such a beautiful woman before? They're all yours, and you still can't get enough of looking at them?"

"Only a woman as beautiful as you is worthy of a man as handsome as me."

Jiang Yiqiu chuckled: "I didn't expect our Captain Chen to be so narcissistic."

"This isn't narcissism, it's competence."

"Okay, you are the most handsome man in my heart."

Jiang Yiqiu picked up his bag, slung it over his shoulder, took Chen Shi's hand, and went out.

In the apartment, she greeted the teachers warmly whenever she encountered them. Everyone looked at Chen Shi, which explained why Jiang Yiqiu didn't like anyone else; it turned out he had someone he liked.

If you put Chen Shi among the young male teachers at No. 1 Middle School, none of them would be as handsome as him, not to mention that he is already a deputy section chief at a young age.

Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes; this is the sentiment expressed by most teachers upon meeting Chen Shi.

Jingshan Mountain, located two kilometers from the county seat, is the highest mountain in the county, with an altitude of over 1,000 meters.

Chen Shi drove Jiang Yiqiu to Jingshan Park for a spring outing.

There are so many people visiting Jingshan Park that there's nowhere to park. I drove around for a while but couldn't find a parking spot.

Chen Shi saw Li Li standing with a pretty girl, chatting and laughing.

Chen Shi poked his head out and waved to Li Li.

When Li Li saw Chen Shi, he wondered what he was doing here. He thought that it was normal for Chen Shi to be here because he had a girlfriend. The county town was so small that it was easy to run into acquaintances.

Jingshan Park is the best place for spring outings. The weather has been getting hot lately, and the summer solstice has already passed. If we don't go for a spring outing now, we'll have to wait until next year.

Li Li left the girl behind and jogged over. He could find another girlfriend, but the chance to run into a leader was rare.

"Captain Chen, are you looking for a parking space?"

"You've got a good eye, kid," Chen Shi nodded. "Help me find it and park my car."

Chen Shi got out of the car, and Jiang Yiqiu followed, putting on sunglasses.

Li Li glanced at Jiang Yiqiu's long, white legs, thinking they were damn beautiful, and quickly looked away.

Chen Shi handed the keys to Li Li, who took them, ran back to his car, put on his traffic police uniform, and began directing the illegally parked cars to park in an orderly manner and make room. Li Li then ran over, drove his car over, parked it properly, and respectfully handed the keys back to Chen Shi.

"Team Leader Chen, the car is parked. Here are the keys."

Chen Shi took the keys: "You're out having fun, and you're still wearing your police uniform."

"We traffic police are different; we carry them with us at all times. If we encounter a traffic jam on the road, we can wear them to make it easier to direct traffic."

Jingshan Chen Shi was visiting for the first time: "Isn't anyone managing the haphazard parking here?"

"Jingshan is not yet developed. It gets crowded on weekends during this season, but not many people come on weekdays. There are farmhouses around, but you have to walk a bit to park. Everyone parks here for convenience, and no one manages it, so it easily becomes congested."

Chen Shi nodded: "Don't worry about me, go and be with your girlfriend."

Li Li quickly replied, "She's not my girlfriend, just a regular friend. We were free on the weekend, so we hung out together."

"Don't neglect the women you bring out. Go on."

Jiang Yiqiu took Chen Shi's hand, and the two walked up the mountain.

Those around who didn't recognize Chen Shi and Jiang Yiqiu all turned their gazes towards them. This couple was so pleasing to the eye; they were truly a perfect match.

Jiang Yiqiu's desires were satisfied; this was exactly the effect he wanted. Anyone worthy of him was certainly not an ordinary person.

Chen Shi glanced at the high heels Jiang Yiqiu was wearing: "Do you have shoes in the car? Wearing high heels to climb mountains can easily lead to sprained ankles. The roads are all dirt tracks, so it's not easy to walk on them."

"It's okay, I'll help you. I forgot to bring my flat shoes when I went out today."

Seeing that Jiang Yiqiu was disregarding her feet for the sake of beauty, Chen Shi didn't say anything more. Besides, it would be like he was nagging his mother endlessly.

Jiang Yiqiu has been to Jingshan many times and is very familiar with it. Chen Shi is in high school in the town and is not very familiar with the county seat. He has only heard of Jingshan and has never climbed it.

"Is this your first time here?" Jiang Yiqiu said with a smile, taking Chen Shi's hand as they walked slowly together.

"This is my first time here, and I'm not really familiar with the county town yet."

"There aren't many fun places in the county town. Jingshan is one, but it's mostly in spring and autumn when many people come to climb it."

In summer and winter, almost no one comes here.

When I was in high school, I would come here every spring and autumn. The scenery here is also beautiful in autumn, so we'll come again then.

At a glance, Chen Shi saw that most of the people there were couples, and most of them were employees of county-level public institutions, which could be discerned from their words and actions.

When they encountered some couples from No. 1 Middle School, whom Jiang Yiqiu recognized, he greeted them warmly, and they all glanced at Chen Shi a few more times.

The summit was still far away, about three or four kilometers away, and it took us more than two hours to climb.

Chen Shi looked at Jiang Yiqiu: "Does your foot hurt?"

Jiang Yiqiu felt a warmth in his heart. His feet really hurt, but he still shook his head and said, "It's okay. When we go back, it's downhill and not easy to walk. You'll have to carry me."

You're just pretending. It's been a long time since I climbed such a high mountain. My feet hurt from walking. How could they not hurt when you're wearing high heels?

He still smiled and nodded.
