Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

After dinner, Swire suddenly suggested that he accompany her to the small park in front of the house, and she even wanted to play on the swings, just like the little girl next door.

Qin Duanyu was somewhat puzzled. Shi Huaiya wasn't the kind of naive young lady who had never experienced the ways of the world. On the contrary, because she had worked in the serious crime unit for many years, she had come into contact with countless people from all walks of life. If she were really that easy to fool, Little Tiger would have been running around everywhere by now.

However, since it was a request from their "girlfriend," and Texas and the others wouldn't be able to get here for a while, it wouldn't hurt for them to do some hard labor and push the swing.

Moreover, the way Swire cheered while sitting on the swing was so adorable, creating an unexpectedly cute contrast.

……

"Swinging on a swing? How could a cat be so childish?" Chen, who was in the distance, almost crushed her binoculars. Tonight was supposed to be a dinner party for the inspection team to celebrate her return to her post, but who knew that she would see this adulterous couple entering the park as soon as she came out of Aunt Wang's restaurant.

"She's clearly a shrewd and capable woman, yet she reveals her childlike and adorable side. Many people do like this kind of contrasting charm!" Hoshiguma analyzed, resting her chin on her hand, secretly sweating for Chen.

"Is this what Master meant when he said, 'If she is naive and inexperienced, take her to see all the wonders of the world; if she is world-weary, take her to ride the carousel'?" Looking at Qin Duanyu pushing the swing and Swire with a big smile on her face, Machider couldn't help but show excitement.

I've learned something new.

I'm quitting my job right now to find a rich woman to date!

I found a pretty interesting book, also an Arknights fanfiction. Those looking for something to read should check it out: "The Integrated Farmer is Unemployed."

Section 82, Chapter 77: What about me?

On a sunny morning, on the roof of the Imperial Guard building.

"Miss, we agreed to break up in three days, then another three days, and it's almost been a week. I'm about to go back to Rhodes Island." Qin Duanyu said to Swire with a hint of helplessness, looking at the pedestrians on the street who looked like ants.

"Can't you be a little nicer to me? Right now, I'm the only one in the whole Dragon Gate who knows about this fake relationship, and besides, aren't you enjoying this feeling?" Swire stomped her foot and said irritably.

Enjoy... Qin Duanyu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that this was indeed the case. In fact, he was the one who benefited from being caught in the middle. Not only was the young lady affectionate and considerate to him, but the aloof policewoman was also throwing herself at him.

"But Chen's condition hasn't been quite right lately. I heard that she was almost beaten up by some petty thieves when she went out on patrol yesterday..." Qin Duanyu said with some concern, clearing her mind of the chaotic thoughts.

Perhaps because of the recent gossip, Chen seemed distracted after being called in for a talk by Wei Yanwu. The upcoming battle was not going to be easy, and if Chen continued in this state, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.

But Qin Duanyu's words had a different meaning in Shi Huaiya's ears.

You're worried something might happen to her, so you can't wait to break up with her.

what about me?

After spending so much time with me, haven't you been even slightly tempted? Haven't you even considered taking this for real? Swire held her expensive handbag as if she were pinching Qin Duanyu's face.

She herself wouldn't believe that she had dragged it out for so long just to spite Chen.

In fact, from the moment Qin Duanyu first arrived in Longmen, Swire noticed this guy who dared to confront Chen. At the time, she didn't think much of it, but she felt that this person was really bold and could be a good partner in the future against Chen.

After learning some rumors about the doctor from her elders, she became even more curious and wanted to see what kind of monster he was and whether he was as terrifying as the legends said.

But after getting to know him, she realized she was wrong. This guy was an interesting goofball, with endless secrets to uncover. Especially when it came to exploiting his employees, his tricks were endless.

Although he was somewhat greedy and couldn't resist the allure of Lungmen Dollars, he was very principled. At least when Snow Chick came under his control, the profits from the patents were not touched in any way. On the contrary, he even used Rhodes Island's legal department to handle Snow Chick's troubles.

The ancient Chinese proverb, "A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way," resonates deeply with Shi Huaiya. She easily sees Qin Duanyu as a similar type of person and inevitably develops some goodwill towards him because of it.

So, when Swire came to her that night in a rage, clearly having misunderstood them, she abandoned any other, simpler methods and, almost involuntarily, admitted that the two were dating.

There's a certain expectation that this fake relationship might become real...

So, in what way is this young lady inferior to Changfenlong?

"Forget it, I really can't stand Changfenlong's behavior. There's no point in arguing with her." Swire turned her back and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Don't worry, I'll talk to her about it when I get the chance!"

……

"Have you heard? A few days ago, Machidir found a rich woman, but she was so scared by the rich woman's 'pleasure ball' that she almost cried. She had to call the police to be rescued. She was completely devastated."

"I heard that he used to sing 'Fairy Tale' all the time. The psychologist downstairs counseled him for several days and he finally recovered. Dr. Xu said that this was the first time he had ever seen a case like this in all his years of practice."

"To be honest, watching Sarkaz is just for fun. If you really want to learn skills, you have to look to that Rhodes Island doctor. What are the Tiger of the Major Crimes Unit and the Dragon of the Inspectorate compared to him? They're just kittens and... Why are you all looking behind me?"

In the Major Crimes Unit office, several police officers were chatting animatedly when suddenly their laughter stopped.

Felines walk silently!

"poetry……"

The man with his back to the office door swallowed hard, vaguely guessing what was going on. He turned around, ready to explain.

Before he could finish speaking, a narrow, furious meteor hammer flew past the unfortunate man's face with a sharp whistling sound. Even though he had worked in the Major Crimes Unit for many years and had brushed with death many times, he was still so frightened that he took several steps back and grabbed the wall for support.

If Little Tiger makes a mistake, his life will be over.

Before he could even feel relieved, Swire struck him in the stomach with an elbow, and the poor elite of the Major Crimes Unit rolled his eyes and passed out.

"From now on, no one is allowed to mention that guy in the office, especially not in front of me!" A tiger's phantom image appeared behind Swire, the aura of the king of beasts leaving everyone in the office speechless for a long time, only daring to nod repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? You were fine this morning..." After she calmed down a bit, a policewoman came over and asked tentatively.

"I'm done for! I can't do anything about it!" Swire's tearful eyes left no room for doubt about the truth of her words.

She slammed the cubicle door shut and sniffled, trying to hold back her tears.

I have documents to process when I get to work, so I absolutely can't let personal matters interfere with my official duties! Men are just men, I can find plenty if I want to, right?

At that moment, Swire noticed a gift box on the expensive mahogany desk that he had purchased at his own expense.

"I'm leaving soon, and I'm very grateful for your care during this time. This is just a small gift; I hope Miss Swire won't find it offensive." The signature wasn't a name, but rather a cute little tiger head drawing.

Thanks to the large number of documents that someone had reviewed, Swire recognized the handwriting at a glance. She originally wanted to throw the box directly into the trash can, but after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't resist her curiosity and opened it.

It was a short red cheongsam with a black overcoat over it, and it looked somewhat familiar.

She suddenly remembered that this was an outfit she had liked a few days ago when the two of them were pretending to be a couple and shopping together, but unfortunately, they didn't have the right size and she had to give up.

Unexpectedly, he took my casual complaints to heart.

Ugh, you despicable central air conditioning! You think you can get rid of me with such cheap clothes? You're dreaming!

Shi Huaiya's expression turned serious, and she cursed inwardly with dissatisfaction before putting the gift box into the innermost safe.

Although it's cheap, this outfit is really nice, and it would be a shame to tear it up; it would be a waste... For the sake of this outfit, if that guy suggests "getting back together," it's not entirely out of the question.

In some ways, the young lady seems really easy to fool.

Have any of you tough guys watched Uma Musume Pretty Derby? I highly recommend it, it's a must-watch for tough guys!

By the way, to accommodate readers of the book "The Sinking Ship," I've deleted some comments showing off cards in the book reviews. Please don't have any complaints about Xiao Jiu QAQ.

Chapter 78, Section 83: As expected, I still hate this guy.

That afternoon, Qin Duanyu knocked on the door of Chen's cubicle with a small gift box in hand.

"Inspector Chan, I've completed the handover procedures here. Thank you very much for taking care of me during my time with the Special Inspectorate." After receiving permission, he walked in and said in a low voice.

Chen did not respond, seemingly immersed in official business, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Just a few days ago, they seemed to have returned to the time when they first met. Even when Swire brought food, Chen just looked at her coldly and showed no intention of joining the competition.

"That's it? If there's nothing else, you can leave. I have a lot of work to do." After a moment, she seemed to finally notice Qin Duanyu's presence and said coldly without looking up.

"Well... okay, I feel like you haven't been doing so well lately. Make sure you get some rest, drink plenty of hot water, and get better as soon as possible." Qin Duanyu sighed and placed the gift box on her desk.

Watching Qin Duanyu leave with his head down like a defeated dog, Chen's lips moved slightly, his right hand rose a few inches before quickly lowering it, and finally he let him close the door.

That's it. If things continue like this, I'm afraid I won't know how to face Rhodes Island... and you. Chen recalled the task Wei Yanwu had assigned him that day, his face darkening.

"Old Chen, the doctor actually wanted to invite you to tonight's farewell party. I remember you don't have any missions tomorrow, right?" Not long after, Hoshiguma walked in and asked with some confusion.

"Why are you speaking up for him today?" Chen frowned. Hoshiguma wasn't like this when she was giving advice back then. Could it be that she was bribed by the professor?

"No, it's just that I felt sorry for the Doctor's lonely figure." Hoshiguma said with a sheepish smile, hiding a motorcycle show ticket and discount coupon behind her back.

Qin Duanyu gave gifts to all her acquaintances in the Guard Bureau, and she was no exception.

"What does it matter to me whether he's pitiful or not? I'm tired of this too." Fortunately, Chen didn't delve into it, saying in a calm tone, "Sending him off is pointless. We'll have opportunities to cooperate in the future. It's not like we'll never see each other again. What difference does it make whether I go or not?"

"Well... as long as you're happy." Hoshiguma sighed. It seemed that Chen had suddenly come to his senses. Although he would be in pain for a while, he could just spend one night drinking with her until they were completely drunk, and the next day would be a wonderful start.

When Chen looked up again, it was already dark outside. Everyone in the office had gone to a farewell party. She declined the invitation, saying she hadn't finished her work, and everyone tacitly refrained from trying to persuade her otherwise.

"Eat something and go back to sleep!" She stretched and went to get her lunchbox, but bumped into Qin Duanyu's gift box.

Open it and take a look; it won't hurt you.

Chen quickly tore open the packaging and found a photo frame inside. The main person in the photo was her, but with a strange, forced smile. It must have been during their first dinner party when she scared away Old Wang's child.

Then came the attack. This guy pretended to be weak but actually killed Hiram. Then... she shook her head, took the whole photo frame out of the box, and found a line of large handwritten words at the bottom of the photo: "You look so beautiful when you smile."

As expected, I still hate this guy!

Chen gripped the photo frame, gritting his teeth as he thought to himself.

pat, pat.

The glistening liquid dripped onto the glass, making a crisp sound.

It's raining.

……

"It's raining."

Meanwhile, at the lively farewell party, Qin Duanyu gazed out the window, somewhat lost in thought.

"Doctor, you're the star of the night, why aren't you chatting with everyone?" Exusiai walked over with a cup of soda and said to Qin Duanyu, who was leaning against the window.

"It's raining quite heavily. I'll catch a cold if I go back soaked," Qin Duanyu said casually, listening to the pattering rain. She was thinking that there didn't seem to be any umbrellas in the inspection team's office.

"It's okay, we drove here anyway," Exusiai said nonchalantly, then clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture. "By the way, could you talk to the officer over there and ask him to cancel our tickets from last week?"

"I'm not familiar with the Transportation Department. Just go and pay the money honestly. Didn't you just get your salary this month?" Qin Duanyu rubbed Exusiai's head and saw her give him a cute smile, which finally made him feel a little better.

To be honest, he didn't really like these semi-official gatherings. Instead of wasting time on insincere pleasantries with the high-ranking officials of Lungmen, he preferred to invite Machidir and the others to have a late-night snack at a roadside stall.

"Croissant, take it easy. We'll provide food and lodging when we get back to Rhodes Island tomorrow. You don't have to worry about not having anything to eat, do you?"

"Ah Kong, you have no idea. This is made with the highest quality ingredients. There's even plenty of Ursus caviar. You'd be missing out if you didn't eat more."

"But even if you're eating, Croissant Sister, please don't put it in the lunchbox..."
