Her image and temperament are very pleasing, especially her sincerity in expressing her emotions.
Unfortunately, Ge Xiaolun, the most pathetic god in the known universe, completely ignored Qi Lin's feelings.
Qi Lin never said it aloud.
But now that Lin Ci has arrived...
Then Qi Lin will no longer belong to Ge Xiaolun.
Since you don't know how to cherish her, then naturally Qilin should find a better home.
Upon hearing Lin Ci's calm, almost languid words, Qi Lin's grip on the gun tightened slightly, and her tone softened accordingly.
She only takes a hard line against real criminals.
"Then don't leave first. Come with us to the police station later to make a statement."
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Lin Ci's lips.
Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang over there had already been handcuffed and pinned to the ground by two other male police officers.
Ge Xiaolun's face was filled with panic and helplessness.
"Officer, I was acting bravely to help someone."
"He bullied that girl first... I'm not breaking the law, am I..."
Lin Ci was also "invited" into the police car by Qi Lin.
Coincidentally, he and Qilin were in the same car.
Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang were put into another car and guarded by the two male police officers.
The police car slowly started moving and merged into the city's traffic.
Inside the carriage, the blue and red police lights flashed silently, reflecting on Qi Lin's focused profile.
She looked at the man beside her who remained calm and collected throughout, and felt a little curious.
"You were there, so did you see how that big hole in the ground got there?"
Lin Ci turned his gaze away from the bustling night view outside the window and onto her.
"They got into a fight."
A look of surprise appeared on Qi Lin's face.
"They didn't even have weapons, how could they have made such a big hole?"
She pondered for a moment and seemed to have found a reasonable explanation.
"It seems that the construction team must have cut corners when they built that road."
“I have to report this, as it concerns the safety of the citizens.”
Lin Ci couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to Qi Lin's earnest analysis.
This policewoman's sense of justice is so overflowing it's almost endearing.
Qi Lin seemed to notice his smile, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she changed the subject.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Lin Ci was slightly taken aback.
We've already gotten to such personal topics?
Has my charm reached such an extent?
He shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Qi Lin revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
"I knew you didn't."
"Otherwise, on Valentine's Day night, instead of spending time with your girlfriend at a hotel or movie theater, you'd have time to go to a dark alley to watch people fight?"
Hearing this unexpected answer, Lin Ci was both amused and exasperated.
He leaned forward slightly, getting closer, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
"And what about you, officer?"
"You still have to be on duty on Valentine's Day night, where's your boyfriend?"
Qi Lin looked straight ahead, her tone indifferent.
"I do not have a boyfriend."
Lin Ci's smile deepened.
"That's quite a coincidence."
This sentence is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.
Qi Lin's fingers tightened instinctively around the steering wheel. She frowned, her tone carrying a hint of warning.
"You have a very dirty mind."
“I admit you’re somewhat attractive, but you’ve openly harassed a police officer. Believe me, I can arrest you right now.”
Lin Ci leaned back in his chair, shrugged, and looked completely innocent.
"I just said we're both single, it's just a coincidence, I didn't say anything about what I was going to do."
He looked at Qi Lin's tense profile and continued speaking.
"Officer, you're not thinking the wrong thing, are you?"
"Or were you implying something when you asked me if I had a girlfriend?"
"Wouldn't this be considered harassing a law-abiding citizen?"
"Between us, who's the one with the dirty mind?"
A series of rhetorical questions, like precise shots, caught Qi Lin off guard.
She's encountered men who flirt with her before, and she's used to all sorts of tricks.
This was the first time she had ever seen Lin Ci turn the tables on her.
Could it be that I'm just too narcissistic?
Did I misunderstand?
Thinking of this, a barely perceptible blush quietly appeared on Qi Lin's fair cheeks.
Fortunately, the darkness and flashing police lights concealed everything.
Lin Ci keenly noticed her momentary embarrassment.
He sighed, feigning grievance.
"Officer, I feel that my personality has been insulted and my heart has been traumatized."
"Could you please apologize to me?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Lin knew that the other party had given her a way out.
She immediately followed up with that.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I apologize."
Lin Ci nodded, seemingly accepting the apology, but then changed the subject.
An apology alone is not enough.
"What else do you want?"
Lin Ci started counting on his fingers.
"Look, I'm here late at night, haven't eaten a single bite of food, just trying to watch the excitement, and you've arrested me as a suspect."
"Then in the car, you verbally insulted me, which has caused me to suffer a double blow, both physically and mentally."
"It's not too much to ask you to treat me to a meal to soothe my wounded heart, is it?"
Qi Lin instinctively wanted to refuse.
Having dinner with a man she had only known for less than half an hour was against her principles.
But on second thought, what the other person said did seem to make some sense.
She hesitated for a moment.
Seeing that she was wavering, Lin Ci decided to add fuel to the fire.
He waved his hand dismissively, feigning indifference.
"And don't worry, I'm not interested in you at all."
You're not my type.
These words, like an invisible needle, instantly pierced a certain spot in Qi Lin's heart.
An inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of my heart.
She was, after all, a policewoman recognized by the police department, and the men who wanted to pursue her could stretch from Juxia City to France.
This guy actually dares to say he's not interested in me?
However, her strong professional ethics prevented her from expressing these emotions.
She simply took a deep breath and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner!"
A triumphant smile appeared on Lin Ci's face.
"Is anything okay to eat?"
Qi Lin kept her eyes fixed on the road ahead.
"Either is fine, you decide."
Lin Ci seemed to be seriously considering the matter, and then spoke with a hint of probing.
"Then I'll have to eat something expensive."
