Chapter 80: A Confession Scene Suddenly Appears in the Cafeteria

On their way to the cafeteria, Ye Ye Qingfeng and Zhu Yuan encountered numerous security officers walking back; upon seeing the pair, they instinctively stepped aside, clearing the central path for them.

"Where shall we conduct our drill this afternoon? At the Security Bureau or outside?"

Ye Ye Qingfeng ignored the gazes casting around him and asked casually.

"Hmm?" Zhu Yuan fell into serious thought and quickly provided an answer she found satisfactory, "How about the park? There won't be too many people there before five o'clock."

"The park, huh?"

Ye Ye Qingfeng recalled the painful encounter he had suffered in the park back then, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Actually, there are other places we could go," Zhu Yuan said, mistaking Ye Ye Qingfeng's expression for some unspoken difficulty; without asking for the reason, she immediately listed several other locations.

"No need! The park is fine, and it's close by!" Ye Ye Qingfeng hurriedly denied.

"Then let's go with the park."

Zhu Yuan nodded, confirming the location for their upcoming drill.

Under Zhu Yuan's lead, they soon arrived at the cafeteria; after finding a seat for Ye Ye Qingfeng, she went alone to the window to get their food.

Seeing Zhu Yuan walk away, a security officer sidled over, casually slapping his hand onto Ye Ye Qingfeng's shoulder. "Brother, you're something else! I never expected you to win over the Security Bureau's flower of the force."

"Just lucky, just lucky."

Ye Ye Qingfeng waved his hand with an air of calm indifference.

Since they all believe Zhu Yuan and I are a couple, let's just let it be that way!

Anyway, Zhu Yuan definitely knows and hasn't objected; as a grown man, there's no need for me to split hairs over it.

"Do you have any secret techniques? Give your brother a couple of tips!" The security officer's eyes lit up at this; he pointed toward a sweet-looking female officer not far away. "See that girl over there? Hehe! Not bad, right? I've had a crush on her for over a month but haven't dared to make a move..."

"There's no special secret," Ye Ye Qingfeng said, following the direction of the pointed finger to where several female security officers were eating together; he quickly spotted the girl the man harbored feelings for, glanced at her twice, then shifted his gaze away. "However, a certain love saint once told me something!"

"What did he say?"

Upon hearing Ye Ye Qingfeng's previous sentence, the security officer felt instantly dejected, but after hearing the latter part, his face immediately broke into an expression of delighted surprise.

Ye Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly, yet his tone was exceptionally serious. "He said that sincerity is the ultimate killing move!"

"Sincerity is... the ultimate killing move?" The security officer was visibly stunned for a moment after hearing these words, then adopted an expression of sudden enlightenment. "Master, I have achieved enlightenment!"

After bowing solemnly to Ye Ye Qingfeng with clasped fists, the security officer resolutely turned and walked straight toward the female officer he admired; coincidentally, Zhu Yuan returned at that moment carrying two plates of food, and seeing the retreating figure of the officer, she asked:

"What did he come to you for?"

It was obvious that Zhu Yuan knew that security officer, and coupled with certain rumors circulating recently within the Security Bureau, her gaze held a hint of vigilance and her voice carried a trace of chill.

Clearly, Zhu Yuan assumed the security officer who had just approached was here to pick a fight.

"Come, sit down first."

Ye Ye Qingfeng directly reached out, grabbed Zhu Yuan's wrist, and pulled her gently but firmly to sit beside him; yielding to this force, she naturally settled down next to him.

"You treat me to a meal, and I'll treat you to some gossip; that's a pretty good deal, isn't it?"

After Zhu Yuan sat down, Ye Ye Qingfeng still did not withdraw his hand; while holding her, he leaned forward, resting his chin on her shoulder, where he could clearly feel her body stiffen, and brought his mouth close to her reddened earlobe to whisper softly.

"Ah... um! Very... very worthwhile!"

Zhu Yuan's face flushed crimson as she felt waves of hot breath striking her ear; instantly, her heart began racing while her heart also felt incredibly itchy!

So... so close! Phew! Moreover, she could clearly feel Ye Ye Qingfeng's body temperature; why did it feel a bit cool?

No! It's my own body that's burning up!

Feeling Zhu Yuan's body temperature rising continuously, Ye Ye Qingfeng instantly suppressed his desire to continue teasing her; he silently pulled back, glanced around to confirm no one was looking their way, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhu Yuan smells so good and feels so soft~ If I could hug her, it would definitely be super comfortable!!

The main reason he stopped was concern for Zhu Yuan! If someone became jealous, disliked her for it, and witnessed this scene, they might just run off to file a secret report with the superiors.

He himself didn't care either way; he was just afraid Zhu Yuan would get punished because of him; even a mere verbal warning was something he didn't want to cause her due to his own actions.

As for why no one noticed this scene, the reason was naturally that the security officer who had just left was now standing in front of a female officer, looking extremely nervous.

This sudden appearance of a confession scene undoubtedly captured the attention of everyone present, and the entire hall instantly boiled over with excitement.

"Little A, I didn't expect you to be so brave!"

"I'm rooting for you, go get her!"

"If you fail, I can mock you for the rest of my life!"

"Haki-A, you rascal!"

A security officer who was on good terms with him didn't even continue eating; he stood up directly to cheer him on.

Several others who were less familiar also issued shouts of support one after another.

Originally flushed and lost in a daze, Zhu Yuan heard the commotion around her, looked back, and immediately spotted the confession scene.

It's him? Zhu Yuan hadn't expected that immediately after leaving Ye Ye Qingfeng, this man would bravely stand before the girl.

"He just came over and asked me if I was together with you."

Holding his meal and eating, Ye Ye Qingfeng explained the events that had just occurred to Zhu Yuan beside him. "I didn't give a definite answer, only saying it depended on your thoughts; afterward, he asked if I had any secret manuals, so I told him: sincerity!"

"And then?"

Watching the confession scene over there and hearing Ye Ye Qingfeng's explanation, Zhu Yuan instantly felt extremely nervous in her heart, yet she forced herself to appear calm as she asked.

"And then, we have the current situation!" Just as Ye Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, he saw that security officer begin his move and immediately called out a reminder: "It's starting."

Zhu Yuan immediately focused her attention and looked over.

"I... I like you! Please give me a chance!"

"I'm sorry... I don't have those kinds of thoughts for now."

Crack—

The sound of a certain security officer's heart shattering.

"I understand..."

After speaking these words, he turned and ran away without looking back.

Zhu Yuan cast a deeply empathetic gaze at the retreating figure, then fell into deep thought...

Ye Qingfeng's words just now were hinting at her!

He didn't deny the rumors that we are a couple, and what he said afterward was about waiting for my decision...

Plus, in many situations, he is the one who takes the initiative... just like a moment ago...

It's time for me to take the initiative as well!

Thinking of this, her pretty face flushed slightly red; just as she was wondering what to do, she sensed multiple gazes from all around turning toward her.

Zhu Yuan glanced sideways with her peripheral vision and indeed saw no small number of eyes watching this side; she immediately shrank her neck, buried her head, and focused on eating, while Ye Ye Qingfeng saw her suddenly become like a turtle retracting its head.

Although he found it quite incomprehensible, he chose to respect it nonetheless, and so the two quietly buried their heads and ate diligently under the gaze of the crowd.
