Chapter 122 - Chapter 122: A Beautiful Woman Asking for a Dinner? Sorry, I wont be meeting you! (2/2)

“Crash!”

“Ouch!”

As the woman let out a painful cry, she had collided forcefully with Su Xuan, who found himself on the ground. He quickly helped her to her feet and asked, “Are you okay?”

Although it wasn’t his fault, he wanted to be a gentleman about it.

“I’m fine,” the woman replied, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I didn’t mean to…”

As she spoke, she lifted her head and, upon seeing Su Xuan’s face, she was taken aback.

“Oh my! Handsome Officer, it’s you!”

Handsome… Officer?

Su Xuan was momentarily surprised and looked at her face closely.

With a good memory and having met her not too long ago during a beach patrol, Su Xuan quickly recognized her.

“What a coincidence.”

This woman was none other than the girl Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang had encountered during their beach patrol, the one looking for her friend. However, what puzzled Su Xuan was that she had appeared much younger back then. How had she suddenly grown up?

Noticing Su Xuan’s confusion, the woman introduced herself. “Officer, my name is Zhou Yiyi. I forgot to tell you my name last time.”

Su Xuan decided not to dwell on the age issue and replied, “What a small world. Are you on a mission here?”

She hesitated briefly but then sealed her lips with a zip motion, indicating she wouldn’t reveal his identity.

“Thank you for helping me this time,” she said genuinely. “I might have hit the ground hard if not for you.”

Su Xuan explained, “I’m quite busy today, but when I’m back later, how about 1 treat you to a meal?”

“Su Xuan, last time, we only exchanged contact, and we didn’t even have a proper conversation…”

“This time, you can’t refuse me, right?”

Zhou Yiyi gazed at Su Xuan, who looked quite handsome even in casual attire. She recalled the striking figure he had cut by the beach, and without hesitation, she proposed another dinner date.

However, Su Xuan could only shake his head helplessly in response.

“I’m really sorry, but I’m currently on a mission,” he explained. “By the time I’m back, I’ll likely still be on duty. Let’s not plan this dinner.”

He tried to downplay the importance of the dinner invitation, saying it was just a casual thing.

But just as he declined, Zhou Yiyi was not willing to give up. For her, the dinner wasn’t the main point. It was an opportunity to get closer to this handsome young man. After all, every romance starts with getting closer, right? If she didn’t make a move, how would she have a chance?

“No, this won’t do. I…”

Seeing Zhou Yiyi still trying to persuade him to continue discussing the dinner date, Su Xuan promptly made his escape.

“I’m sorry, but I have something to attend to right now. I’ll have to leave.”

With that, Su Xuan walked away, paying no heed to whether Zhou Yiyi agreed or not.

He could feel that this young woman had an unusually strong interest in him. However, Su Xuan was currently on a mission and didn’t want his personal feelings to get in the way of his work.

Besides…

He had already been on a blind date, and he felt he owed it to that potential relationship!

As Su Xuan quickly walked away, Zhou Yiyi understood his intention. He was rejecting her advances.

She stood there for a while, feeling a bit disappointed.

“What’s this!”

“I’m a beautiful woman offering him dinner, and he actually said no!”

“How rude…”

“I clearly asked him if he was single last time… with this attitude, he deserves to be single!”

“Hmph!”
