Chapter 32

(The author lacks the literary foundation to write the poetic feeling of Senior Qing Yi's speech; I apologize to everyone here.)

The two, chatting in perfect harmony, arrived at the restaurant without realizing it and found an empty table to sit at. Ye Qingfeng and Zhu Yuan began to defer to each other while ordering, and in the end, Senior Qing Yi couldn't stand it anymore, snatched the menu away, and finished the ordering task.

Senior Qing Yi put down that cup of super-sweet milk tea and poured a cup of tea, drinking it impatiently; only then did she feel like she had come back to life.

She didn't know why, even though she was such an emotionally stable person, she didn't know how many times she had sulked in just this short while.

After Zhu Yuan's explanation along the way, he also roughly understood that this little loli named Senior Qing Yi was a robot and also her colleague.

Subsequently, Zhu Yuan gave Senior Qing Yi a brief introduction to Ye Qingfeng; of course, besides his name and some unimportant matters, she didn't know what else to say.

"So you're saying this kid is actually a robot?"

Ye Qingfeng, with a surprised expression, leaned in close to the incessantly talking Zhu Yuan and deliberately lowered his voice to confirm with her again.

"K... kid?"

At this moment, Senior Qing Yi suddenly felt that her hearing equipment being so excellent wasn't a good thing. The mood she had just calmed down vanished in an instant, and the force in her hand increased uncontrollably, causing the teacup in her hand to shatter instantly.

It made a loud "bang" sound!

【Ding! Senior Qing Yi's favorability decreased by 5%. Current favorability: -5%】

Zhu Yuan, who had been feeling restless due to Ye Qingfeng's sudden proximity and hadn't even heard what he said, was brought back to her senses by the sudden "bang."

"Senior Qing Yi, what's wrong?"

Zhu Yuan hurriedly stood up and went to Senior Qing Yi's side, wiping up the tea splashed everywhere and carefully cleaning up the shards of the teacup.

While Zhu Yuan was busy back and forth, Ye Qingfeng and Senior Qing Yi stared at each other across the table.

Senior Qing Yi was feeling inexplicably angry now, although she had been angry ever since she met Ye Qingfeng.

To Senior Qing Yi, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Zhu Yuan her sister; it wasn't that she hadn't thought about her having a boyfriend in the future, but this guy in front of her was absolutely not allowed!!

Not to mention anything else, this brat was still staring at her! He was provoking her, right! I can't take it anymore!!

He must be trying to snatch Zhu Yuan away from her, and I won't agree to it!

If Ye Qingfeng could hear Senior Qing Yi's thoughts right now, he would definitely shout that he was wronged!

Because he was currently being scolded by the system and had absolutely no intention of provoking Senior Qing Yi.

【Are you trying to piss me to death? I told you to capture the target, and you treat others like a child?】

'She looks like a child no matter how you look at it! And she used to call me Host, Host! Now she's not even pretending anymore, right!'

Ye Qingfeng's expression was very helpless at this moment, but to Senior Qing Yi across the table, it looked as if he were saying: Forget it, I won't argue with a child.

【I don't care what you call me, you first explain what the problem is! Even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it!】

'Alright, alright—I'll apologize to Senior Qing Yi in a bit, okay!'

【That's right! Exactly! Why treat me like a child!】

'?' Aren't you a child? And even if Senior Qing Yi is a robot, isn't she still a child?'

【You... is there a possibility that my real age is old enough to be your grandmother? And the other child you think you see is actually old enough to be your grandmother in mental age too?!】

"What!! Then you're old enough to be my grandmother! And you were pretending to be young before?!"

He felt the system had no reason to tell such a lie. Thinking of it being old enough to be his grandmother, yet talking in a cutesy voice in front of him every day, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable and blurted out subconsciously with an awkward expression.

... I give up.

"Hmph hmph... you brat—!" After Senior Qing Yi let out two soft hums, she gritted her teeth and slowly stood up, a three-section staff appearing in her hand from nowhere. "This is truly too bullying!"

Senior Qing Yi thought for a moment and decided to put away the weapon in her hand, instead pouncing on Ye Qingfeng, instantly knocking him to the ground, and taking the opportunity to sit on his abdomen, a wicked smile appearing on her face.

"Die!"

Seeing Ye Qingfeng still looking dazed, Senior Qing Yi didn't hesitate and swung punch after punch at him.

"Wait... wait a minute! What's wrong?"

Feeling the pain, Ye Qingfeng hurriedly raised his arms to block his face. He hadn't reacted at all and had been knocked down instantly; he couldn't understand why Senior Qing Yi was beating him. Had he done anything heinous?!

"Everything is negotiable! Stop, stop!" Seeing that Senior Qing Yi didn't respond and even felt the force of the blows on his body increase, Ye Qingfeng hurriedly called out to Zhu Yuan for help. "Zhu Yuan, help!"

Zhu Yuan had just finished cleaning up the glass shards and happened to witness the entire process of Senior Qing Yi pouncing on Ye Qingfeng; until Ye Qingfeng called her, her mind had been in a blank state.

"Senior Qing Yi, please don't hit him anymore!"

She hurriedly rushed to the two of them, trying to stop Senior Qing Yi's violent behavior. Seeing that Senior Qing Yi had no intention of stopping, she directly hugged her around the waist and dragged her away.

Senior Qing Yi didn't forget to add two kicks to Ye Qingfeng's body before finally feeling a bit relieved.

"Um..."

At this moment, the waiter who had just walked to the door of the private room was frozen in place with a plate of food, watching the scene before her, which dealt a heavy blow to her young heart. Leaving now wasn't an option, and going in wasn't either...

Anyone who hung around this area knew the two people inside: the famous Zhu Yuan from the Public Security Bureau and her partner, Senior Qing Yi.

In the eyes of the people, they were righteous police officers; in the eyes of the Ethereals, they were evil devils.

Originally, the two were high-standing idols in the waiter's heart, but now they were fighting over a man.

That's right, she had imagined a grand ethical drama in her mind.

At this time, the three people in the private room finally noticed the waiter at the door, tried to pretend nothing had happened, found a nearby seat, and turned their heads to look at the waiter.

Whew... it's over! They aren't going to kill me to silence me, are they!

"Um, Miss Waiter, the food will get cold if you don't serve it!"

Ye Qingfeng noticed the waiter trembling in place, possibly afraid of something, but considering his stomach was already growling with hunger, he considerately spoke up to remind her.

"Okay... coming right up..."

The waiter took a deep breath, comforted herself a few more times in her heart, rushed over with the plate, set it down with lightning speed, and sprinted out of the private room, not forgetting to slam the door shut.

"I... I survived..." The waiter leaned against the door, thinking about having to deliver food inside later, and immediately took out her phone to send a message to her best friend, sending all her speculations from just now in one go.

She believed that soon, rumors would spread that Senior Qing Yi had discovered she was the "other woman," and that her rival was her partner Zhu Yuan, leading to her beating up the scumbag out of love-turned-hate.
