Chapter 39 The Truth About Steamed Buns
Chapter 39 The Truth About Steamed Buns
[Lele Loves Meat]: I took you home! This is definitely a major development! He used to avoid you like the plague, but now he's taking the initiative to take you home, which means he has feelings for you! Tell me, did anything happen in the car? Like any ambiguous interactions?
Su Wan tried hard to recall the scene from last night, but her mind was a mess, and she could only reply based on her vague memories—
[Wanwan Fairy herself]: I have some scrapes on my knees and wrists, but I've already treated them and I'm fine~ He must have hugged me when he rescued me, otherwise how could he have pulled me out of the water? In the car... nothing special seems to have happened in the car. I think I fell asleep and woke up at my doorstep.
[Xiaoxiao is super sweet]: Asleep? What a pity! You fell asleep during such a good opportunity to be alone! But it's okay, getting him to take you home is already a huge step forward! It shows that he treats you differently now!
[Qiqi is the coolest]: You got a scrape? Was Captain Lu heartbroken? Did he treat your wound personally? Was he gentle with you?
[Lele Loves Meat]: He must be heartbroken! Otherwise, why would he go out of his way to take you home! Wanwan, good luck! Strike while the iron is hot, while he still has feelings for you, quickly take the initiative and win him over!
Seeing her best friends' encouragement, Su Wan regained her confidence.
Although she couldn't remember exactly what happened last night, it was certain that Lu Chenyuan had saved her and taken her home.
This shows that he wasn't completely indifferent to her!
She used to worry that her persistent pursuit would annoy him, but now it seems that as long as she persists, she will eventually win him over!
[Wanwan the Fairy herself]: Don't worry, my darlings! I won't give up! I'm determined to win Lu Chenyuan's heart! Next time, I'll definitely seize the opportunity and strive to take our relationship to the next level!
[Xiaoxiao is super sweet]: Well done! We support you! If you need any help, just let us know!
[QiQi is the coolest]: Go for it! We're waiting to celebrate your wedding!
[Lele Loves Meat]: Go for it, Wanwan! If you win over Captain Lu, you'll be a winner in life!
Su Wan put down her phone, a smile still on her lips.
She threw back the covers, got out of bed, walked to the mirror, and looked at the traces of medicated oil on her knees and wrists, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
This is proof that Lu Chenyuan cares about her, isn't it?
Although her memory of last night was hazy, she could feel that the distance between her and Lu Chenyuan was gradually closing.
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, she went downstairs to get something to eat.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the living room, warming her and making her feel exceptionally good.
Unbeknownst to her, Lu Chenyuan was sitting in his apartment, looking at the morning light outside the window, his face terribly gloomy.
He didn't sleep a wink all night, the scene from the previous night replaying in his mind.
Su Wan's cries, laughter, tantrums, and the image of her in his dream all intertwined, making him extremely irritable.
He even began to regret it, regretting that he had saved her last night and that he had taken her home.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be troubled by these messy emotions now.
The morning sunlight streamed through the glass windows of the Public Security Bureau office building, casting dappled shadows on the polished floor.
At this time of day, Lu Chenyuan would usually be sitting in his office reviewing case files.
But today, when the clock struck nine, his figure finally appeared at the end of the corridor.
He was dressed in a simple black casual outfit, with the collar slightly open, revealing his well-defined collarbone.
The police uniform, which was usually impeccable, was replaced, making him look less sharp and more casual, but it still couldn't hide his cold aura.
However, the faint dark circles under his eyes betrayed his exhaustion from not having slept all night.
His colleagues exchanged curious glances when they saw him.
The farce that happened at the farmhouse yesterday is still fresh in my mind—
He carried the soaking wet Su Wan in his arms, abandoning his girlfriend Lin Man who was traveling with him. The scene was so shocking that everyone remembered it vividly.
Several young male colleagues, under the guise of fetching water and passing by, would peek at his neck.
They were all harboring the same gossip: Did Captain Lu and that Miss Su have anything going on yesterday?
If there really is a story behind it, there must be some kind of hickey or something on the neck, right?
Lu Chenyuan noticed the strange looks, his brows furrowed slightly, he stopped, his face stern, and his voice as cold as ice: "What's wrong?"
Those colleagues who had been peeking around instantly looked away like cats whose tails had been stepped on, waving their hands sheepishly.
"No, nothing, Captain Lu! I just thought you looked really smart in your casual clothes today!"
After saying that, she hurriedly slipped away, afraid that if she was a step too slow, she would be affected by his oppressive aura.
Lu Chenyuan didn't ask any more questions and went straight to his office.
He didn't notice that there were two clear teeth marks on his exposed wrist.
Those were the marks left by Su Wan biting him twice yesterday, and they were particularly noticeable on his skin.
When his colleagues saw that his neck was clean and there wasn't even a trace of intimacy, their gossip-fueled excitement gradually subsided, and they began to admire him even more.
"Our Captain Lu is truly amazing; he remained completely unmoved even with a woman in his lap!"
"Absolutely! In that situation yesterday, with a man and a woman alone together, and Miss Su being so proactive, he didn't do anything at all. His self-control is incredible!"
"I think Su Wan has no chance of winning over Captain Lu. The fact that she remained unmoved under those circumstances shows that she really has no interest in her."
"That's right, that's right. Captain Lu's mind is definitely only on his work and his gentle and generous girlfriend, Miss Lin."
At lunchtime, the chatter in the cafeteria grew louder, and these words swarmed into Lu Chenyuan's ears like flies.
He carried his tray, expressionless, and sat down in a corner, ignoring everything.
If it were in the past, if anyone dared to talk like that in front of him, he would have already frowned and told them to get lost.
But now, he only feels—
Remaining unmoved even with a woman in one's lap?
Lu Chenyuan gave a self-deprecating smile.
What appears calm to outsiders is perhaps just a facade, a forced suppression of his rationality.
His body, however, had already been completely thrown into disarray by Su Wan's repeated provocations and tests.
Last night's indulgence was the first time in his 29 years of life.
Because it was the first time ever, and because it had happened so many times before, his body hadn't gotten used to it yet, which caused him to feel an indescribable restlessness all over his body today, and even his appetite had decreased significantly.
On his plate were five white steamed buns and two dishes of vegetables.
This is his usual food intake; only this much can sustain his high-intensity work.
But today, he took a bite of the steamed bun, and found it tasteless.
My gaze fell on the remaining few plump, white steamed buns, and an image flashed uncontrollably through my mind—
Yesterday in the private room, Su Wan suddenly ripped open her collar, revealing two smooth, white mounds that looked just like steamed buns.
