He appeared very pure, and the knowledge that they had been speaking was true as properly. Not solely so, the 2 “officers” recognised one another. The buildup of all these elements dispelled Officer B’s doubts. He figured that no inmate would have the center to interrupt out of jail like this. He believed that they wouldn’t dare to tug such an act proper beneath his nostril. 

The pinnacle-on encounter with the officer whereas thrilling had left #2 extremely tense and on the sting. He pretended to leisurely jog outwards. The second he exited the jail’s surveillance space, the restrained feelings because of his coronary heart thumping away in his chest instantly exploded. 

He picked up Ai Bei and ran for his life; he was as quick as lightning! 

Ai Bei laid on his shoulders and laughed. 

“Enjoyable?”

He clenched his enamel as he smiled too, “how the fuck is that enjoyable.” 

After efficiently jail breaking, they’d already accomplished half their mission. 

The following half was to get new garments. Since they had been going to a restaurant, their officer uniforms had been positively not going to chop it.  

Ai Bei picked a easy white button-up. She seemed as clear and youthful as a college scholar. 

In comparison with her, #2 was very way more dressed up, the truth is magnificently so. He had a 3 piece go well with on — on high of his black button-up, he had a darkish gray checkered waistcoat on, and a go well with jacket on the skin. Along with his roguish buzz lower, and his tattoos peering out of his collar sometimes, #2 was the strolling definition of restrained want, and that was sufficient to depart many girls weak for him. 

The feminine salesperson introduced a light-weight gray tie over and gestured it at him as she spoke enthusiastically: “This sample fits you, ought to I attempt it on for you?” 

#2 checked out Ai Bei by the mirror, “what do you assume?” 

Ai Bei picked up a moderately provocatively colored tie and threw it at him. He laughed, not paying thoughts to her slapdash effort. As he slowly tightened the tie round his neck, he checked out up Ai Bei, his gaze dominant and aggressive.

The feminine gross sales assistant on the aspect all of a sudden felt a bit out of breath watching the 2 of them. ♢ CHART TOPPER QUEEN, CHAPTER 12 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

The 2 of them had been spiffed up earlier than they stepped into the restaurant positioned on the very best flooring within the metropolis.

The meals in jail was solely adequate to maintain the power required for the inmates to hold out their common activites; it was positively not one of the best style and appears smart. The 2 of them stored their stomachs empty earlier than arriving. Consequently, they had been extravagent of their order; the quantity of dishes served was sufficient to fill the complete desk, and this elicited many glances from the passing servers. 

#2 had at all times been a ravenous eater, nonetheless, the him as we speak was significantly well-mannered, and would even pick the escargot for Ai Bei. 

Ai Bei had been having fun with the meals a lot she didn’t even discover that she had cream on her lips. She listed out which of the meals she needed picked out for her, “I would like this, this…” After talking, she licked her lips and lowered her head to drink the cream of mushroom soup, ready for him to portion out the dishes she had listed right down to be positioned on her plate.

“I such as you.”

The confession was sudden.

Ai Bei choked on the cream of mushroom soup. She coughed, her face turning crimson. The wrongdoer handed her a napkin, frivolous, “simply working towards.” 

“It’s best to’ve not less than warned me…”

“I such as you.” He cupped his chin as he checked out her in a way that deserves a superb throttling, “you’re the one which set the mission. I such as you.” He confessed once more consecutively.

She seemed as much as glare at him. Beneath the sunshine that filtered down like golden curtains, she was dewy-eyed, maybe as a result of her coughs from earlier, her gaze virtually a bit mad too.

“I…”

He began, his remaining phrases all of a sudden jammed at his throat. #2 glanced away in disguise. 

He produced a cigarette from the cigarette field, lit it up, and clipped it between his fingers. A server that had observed this instantly came to visit to remind him. #2 replied politely with a “oh, apologies”. As soon as the server left, he drew a puff from the cigarette once more, squinting his eyes barely. 

Ai Bei didn’t hassle minding him, and continued consuming her meals.

He checked out her lips, she nonetheless had some cream that she didn’t clear off beforehand. His fingers twitched, however he caught to puffing his cigarette as an alternative.

The 2 of them sunk into silence. After dinner was over, #2 went to the cashier to get the invoice, however didn’t see Ai Bei at their desk when he returned. #2 walked round, and located the particular person he was trying to find on the glass hallway. 

The glass hallway with roses flowering alongside the 2 sides was among the many defining options of this restaurant. You may see the surroundings of the evening metropolis beneath your toes if you stroll throughout the glass hallway; it was an ethereal expertise.

“What are you doing there?”

The second he spoke, he realised that his throat was tightening.

He had a phobia of heights. Regardless that he was simply standing earlier than the glass hallway, he didn’t dare to spare the glass facade any additional glances. He may solely power himself to pay attention his ideas on Ai Bei. 

“It’s best to confess.” She stated. 

She was reminding him, that he was operating out of time. Missions often spanned as much as a most of 1 week. They’ve spent a superb portion of the time at first getting ready for the jail break, and numerous time tonight having fun with dinner and stress-free.

Regardless of so, confessing was only one sentence, it wouldn’t take up a lot time.

#2 settled his nerves. “Come over right here.”

She shook her head, “I need to hear it right here.”

Although he had no concept why she insisted it, he coughed flippantly, and tried to rein in his scattering ideas. He hazarded a guess as to what she was considering, maybe she’d needed to do it with a romantic background.

He’d simply practiced the road a number of occasions earlier, and he’d repeated it many occasions in his head too. The extra formal the precise setting was, the extra awkward he grew to become. Even so, he spoke from the underside of his coronary heart:

“I such as you.”

The second he spoke, Ai Bei all of a sudden walked backwards, till she was among the many roses flowering within the hallway.

Night time had fallen, and town had lit its night lights. From the glass hallway, you could possibly see the the huge expense of the citylife from above. The neon lights beneath had been diamonds sprinkled throughout the ground, blinking up at you as they glittered at the hours of darkness.

Regardless of the breathtaking scene, he’d solely managed to spare it a single look. Even so, he’d discovered himself already a bit out of breath, a lot much less muster the braveness to stroll throughout the glass hallway and make it over to the place she was. 

And but, Ai Bei reached out a hand in direction of him, smiling: “That you must maintain my hand.”

In that second, #2’s thoughts went clean, it was as if even his blood froze; he couldn’t assist however really feel a chill rising by him.

He recalled the mission requirement, and that was to “maintain fingers” — he needed to maintain her hand whereas confessing to her. This had initially been a beautiful, romantic scene in his head, however the state of affairs at hand appeared to forged a darkish shadow throughout his earlier fantasy.

She stood within the hallway — the hallway he couldn’t cross — and smiled at him.

Although the gap between the 2 of them was quick, they had been as if the Jiang River and Wei River, the conflicting nature of their waters incompatible and discordant. 

“Are you not coming over?” She tilted her head to the aspect, “it’s, virtually time.”

Out of the blue, a number of police automobiles arrived beneath, parking themselves on the skyscraper. The crimson police lights blinked away dangerously, and the police sirens reverberated, shattering the melodious tune of the evening.

She’s proper, it’s virtually time.

Regardless that the mission’s deadline was not up but, they needed to go away the restaurant quickly.

“Why…” His gaze, more often than not willful, was now clouded with dread. His enamel trembled. He needed to muster all of the braveness inside him to dare himself to ask, “why?!”

How was it potential that he didn’t know what she was attempting to do.

She was the identical as the remaining; she had been, as the remaining had been, calculating what number of factors she may get from him. And but, the weak spot that she was now utilizing in opposition to him was the very weak spot that he advised her himself.

As anticipated, Ai Bei checked out him calmly: “This can be a competitors, isn’t it?”
