Tao Yu didn’t expect Yue Linze to suddenly appear. Just as she was about to frown and say something, Yue Linze gave her a sidelong glance. “Since you don’t want me to come over, please be more careful and don’t let people take advantage of you.”
“…When have I been taken advantage of?” Tao Yu was somewhat speechless. She felt that ever since she rejected Yue Linze, he seemed to have persecution complex.
On this large playground, no one else had bumped into her, but people kept rushing towards her. This foolish woman was still asking when she had been taken advantage of. Yue Linze narrowed his eyes. “You should be grateful that although people here are going crazy, homosexuals are still a minority. If your identity is exposed…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Tao Yu understood the implication. She glanced at Yue Linze. “Oh.”
“Just ‘oh’?” Yue Linze raised an eyebrow.
Tao Yu’s mouth moved slightly, and after a while, she said, “I’ll be more careful in the future.” Although she always wanted to maintain distance from Yue Linze, when he was completely looking out for her, she couldn’t be an unappreciative rebellious girl. She could only respond coldly to show she had listened.
Seeing her defenses suddenly drop, Yue Linze pleasantly curved his lips, about to speak when Tao Yu’s walkie-talkie rang. She tuned the channel. “What’s up?”
“Officer Tao, can you help me take a leave of absence?” came Zhou Ying’s muffled voice from the walkie-talkie.
Tao Yu immediately frowned. “Zhou Ying? What’s wrong?”
“…I think I’m catching a cold. I probably can’t come today.” Zhou Ying’s voice was unclear.
Tao Yu heard something was off with his mood, but out of respect for others, she didn’t probe further. She suddenly thought this was a good excuse to take leave. “Where are you? Do you need me to come see you?”
“No, no need! Just help me take a leave!” Zhou Ying hurriedly finished speaking and immediately turned off the walkie-talkie.
