"No, I just thought you were dressed so beautifully today. I thought I'd mistaken you for someone else."
Lin Feng explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Xia Xue's usually composed face actually flushed.
In all the time they had known each other, this was the first time Lin Feng had complimented her beauty.
"Alright, stop joking. I'm treating you to dinner today. What do you want to eat? Order whatever you like!"
Xia Xue pushed the menu towards Lin Feng.
"Then I won't be polite. Fifty servings of Australian abalone, ten plates of golden caviar..."
"Wait, you don't need to order. Let me do it!"
Xia Xue quickly snatched the menu back from Lin Feng. At Lin Feng's ordering pace, she couldn't afford it.
"Fine, you order!"
Lin Feng knew that Xia Xue's monthly salary wasn't much and didn't intend to take advantage of her.
Xia Xue looked at the menu and ordered ten dishes, with prices that were considered reasonable, totaling around five hundred yuan.
"Captain Xia, you're suddenly being so nice to me. I'm not quite used to it. Do you need something from me?"
Lin Feng pretended to be oblivious and asked tentatively.
"Why would I need anything from you? Stop being so self-important. This meal is simply to thank you for providing us with clues, helping us crack down on the organ trafficking organization!"
Xia Xue scoffed, though she felt a little uneasy inside.
The Dragon Head had instructed her to appease Lin Feng. After much thought, she had no choice but to try and mend their previous bad relationship.
"Is that so? Then I understand."
Lin Feng smiled and began eating once the dishes were served.
"Captain Xia, my hands aren't feeling well. Could you peel some shrimp for me?"
Lin Feng pushed a plate of cold shrimp towards Xia Xue.
"You want me to peel shrimp for you?"
Xia Xue's eyes widened, she almost couldn't help but curse.
In her entire life, she had never peeled shrimp for anyone. It was always others who peeled shrimp for her.
"Forget it, I'll peel them myself. Our relationship isn't that good anyway."
Lin Feng feigned displeasure and pulled the plate back.
"I'll peel them for you!"
Xia Xue, with a stern expression, took the plate of shrimp to her side and reluctantly began peeling the shrimp shells for Lin Feng.
She looked as if she was treating Lin Feng like the shrimp in her hands, biting her teeth and peeling with all her might.
"They're peeled. Eat up!"
After a long while, Xia Xue finally finished peeling a plate of shrimp.
"My hands aren't feeling well. How about you feed me?"
Lin Feng tilted his head back, his mouth open wide, waiting to be fed.
"What? You want me to feed you too?"
Xia Xue was about to explode. This scoundrel Lin Feng was really pushing his luck!
"If you don't feed me, then so be it. Anyway, our relationship isn't good, and you don't consider me one of your own!"
Lin Feng mumbled.
"I'll feed you, I'll feed you! Our relationship is good, and you are one of my own!"
Xia Xue felt like she was going crazy. To complete the task assigned by the Dragon Head, she had no choice but to go all out.
With her fair hand, she picked up a piece of shrimp and slowly brought it towards Lin Feng's mouth.
Lin Feng bit into the shrimp meat with satisfaction and even sucked on Xia Xue's slender finger.
This action immediately made Xia Xue frown. She shook her finger, which Lin Feng had sucked, with a look of disgust.
"Why did you suck my finger? It's covered in your saliva, it's disgusting!"
Xia Xue picked up a tissue with disdain and wiped her finger.
"I didn't mean to, but your finger smells really nice!"
Lin Feng smiled faintly and opened his mouth wide again, waiting for food.
Xia Xue felt utterly mad. Looking at Lin Feng's infant-like posture, she truly wished she could smash the plate onto his face.
But she had no choice. To please Lin Feng, to become good friends with him.
She could only continue feeding him shrimp.
However, Lin Feng seemed to be doing it on purpose, always sucking her finger while eating the shrimp.
Xia Xue felt like her fingers were about to be sucked raw.
Fortunately, Lin Feng finally finished the plate of shrimp.
"Alright, are you full? Let's go if you're done eating."
Xia Xue looked at the completely empty table, thinking that Lin Feng must have been a starving ghost in his past life. She hadn't eaten a single dish herself; Lin Feng had devoured everything.
It was a good thing she hadn't let him order the dishes, otherwise, the meal would have cost her a year's salary!
"Captain Xia, why the rush? I still want to eat some shrimp. How about another plate?"
Lin Feng rubbed his stomach, pretending he wasn't full.
"What other plate? All the shrimp are sold out. If you want some, maybe next time!"
Xia Xue didn't want to peel shrimp for Lin Feng anymore. She said curtly, grabbed her bag, and went to pay the bill.
Just then, Xia Xue's phone rang. It was the Dragon Head calling.
"Boss, you're looking for me?"
Xia Xue sounded a little nervous. This was the first time the Dragon Head had called her personal number.
"Xia Xue, I heard from Chu He that you're treating Lin Feng to dinner. How was it?"
"It was, it was very good."
Xia Xue was flattered. The Dragon Head was actually concerned about this now?
"That's good. In that case, why don't you bring Lin Feng to my office? I want to have a chat with him. Can you do that?"
"Yes, I'll bring him to you right now."
Xia Xue agreed readily.
She then found Lin Feng, who had just walked out of the private room. "Let's go, we need to go somewhere. Someone wants to see you!"
"I'm not going!"
To Xia Xue's surprise, Lin Feng actually refused her.
She had already promised the Dragon Head. If Lin Feng didn't go, how could she report back?
"Hey, Lin, I treated you to dinner, and all I'm asking is for you to accompany me to meet someone. Is that really so difficult for you?"
Xia Xue said with displeasure.
"Yes, it is difficult for me. Why should I go see someone just because you tell me to? What are you to me? Why should I listen to you?"
Lin Feng found it amusing.
Xia Xue really didn't know what to say.
Lin Feng was right; she truly had no reason to demand anything of him.
"Then, then tell me, what can I do to make you listen to me?"
Xia Xue had no choice but to gaze at Lin Feng with a hint of pleading.
"Unless you can make me happy. If I'm happy, then it's not impossible for me to listen to you once."
Lin Feng knew Xia Xue needed something from him and felt a slight urge to tease her.
Xia Xue looked a bit bewildered. Make him happy? What did this guy mean?
Instinctively, Xia Xue clutched her chest, looking wary. "Lin, don't think about those perverted things. I'm not like Tang Wan; I'm not a woman who is so easily swayed."
"Are you kidding me? If you're not easily swayed, am I? If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep!"
Lin Feng feigned anger and turned to leave.
Xia Xue panicked and quickly caught up with him. "Okay, okay, I misunderstood you. You're a respectable person. Then tell me, how can I make you happy? As long as it's not too much, I'll satisfy you, alright?"
"I want a massage!"
Lin Feng stopped.
"Okay, it's just a massage. I'll find the best masseuse for you, let's go get one right now!"
Xia Xue agreed readily.
"I don't feel comfortable with a masseuse. You have to give me the massage."
"What!? You want me to massage you? Don't push it too far!"
Xia Xue clenched her fists furiously. Lin Feng was deliberately making things difficult for her!
"If you don't want to do it, then forget it. I'm going back to sleep!"
Lin Feng said indifferently.
"Don't go, I'll do it, I'll massage you!"
Xia Xue was driven mad, stomping her feet in frustration.
She hated herself for agreeing to the Dragon Head so quickly, trapping herself!
"That's more like it. Let's go, to your place."
Lin Feng smiled.
"To my place? Are you crazy? My parents are still at home!"
Xia Xue's beautiful eyes widened. If her parents saw her massaging Lin Feng, how would she be able to face them in the future?
"Then where should I massage you? In the car?"
Lin Feng glanced at the SUV Xia Xue had parked outside. "That would work too. There's enough space. We can do it in the car then."
Xia Xue didn't refuse. She would rather do it in the car than go home to give Lin Feng a massage.
