"Nah, I'll just order some takeout." Lingshan said.
"Lingshan, why are you always avoiding me?" Tang Yuqi finally asked the question he'd been holding in his heart for a long time! He'd been trying his best to maintain his image in front of Lingshan all this time, and he'd found out about Lingshan's criteria for a mate as well. He felt that he fit the criteria perfectly, so he didn't understand why Lingshan wouldn't accept him.
He and Lingshan were in the same line of work, and they had plenty of things in common. They were both practitioners, too, and he was stronger than Lingshan. These were all things that fit Lingshan's criteria for a mate, but why did Lingshan keep rejecting him?
Tang Yuqi didn't think that he wasn't good enough. He felt that the problem lay with Lingshan, and so he gathered his courage to ask.
"Tang Yuqi, what do you want to say?" Lingshan frowned. She'd always known that Tang Yuqi liked her, but this was the first time she'd talked about this so openly and honestly.
"Lingshan, I want to know, why do you keep rejecting me? Don't you understand what I'm thinking? I like you! " Tang Yuqi said loudly. "I'm staying here because of you. I feel like we're in the same line of work, and we're both practitioners. I've also heard that your criteria for a mate is that the man has to be stronger than you! I'm satisfied with all that. I don't understand, why don't you respond to my advances? "
"Tang Yuqi, I believe you've noticed that I've been avoiding this question ever since I found out about your feelings. You should know what I mean." Lingshan said. "I didn't say it out loud because we're colleagues, hoping that you'd back off, but I didn't think that you'd do something like this. I didn't think that you'd get stronger and stronger! But since you've said it out loud today, I'll tell you that it's impossible between us! "
"Why? There has to be a reason, right? Lingshan, there has to be a reason for rejecting me. I feel like we're a good match, there's nothing wrong with it! "Tang Yuqi said, unwilling to give up.
"If I had to give you a reason, it would be that I already have someone I like." Lingshan looked at Tang Yuqi. She said firmly, "I like him. Is that reason enough?"
"But I've never seen him before. Are you lying to me, Lingshan?" Tang Yuqi didn't really believe her. "If there really is such a person, then why would he do that?" I've been in the police force for quite some time now. It's impossible that I haven't seen them before, right? "
"He was very busy and had many things to do, so I didn't disturb him." Lingshan said. "Tang Yuqi, I can't deny that you're very good, but I'm speaking from a very fair perspective. He's much more powerful than you, so please let go of this matter. This is good for all of us … "
"No. I don't believe it! " Tang Yuqi said unwillingly, "I'm a Heaven Stage expert, an expert in solving cases. How can he be better than me? Lingshan, don't lie to me. There's no such person, right? "
"Sorry, I don't need to lie to you." Lingshan shrugged. "Tang Yuqi, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not. In short, this person really exists."
"Alright! Lingshan, since you say that he's stronger than me, then I'll challenge him to a duel. Let's see who's stronger! " Tang Yuqi said. "If he's stronger than me, then I'll accept it wholeheartedly. If he's weaker than me, Lingshan, I hope you can reconsider!"
"… Tang Yuqi, why are you so stubborn?" Lingshan didn't know what to do, but Tang Yuqi's way of doing things was very gentlemanly, after all. He wanted to compete with Lin Yi, and even if he won, he'd only let Lingshan consider him. Lingshan really couldn't say anything harsh to him.
"I hope you'll give me this chance!" Tang Yuqi said firmly.
"I can't promise you that. If you really want to challenge him, I can find some time to talk to him, but I can't guarantee that he'll accept it." Lingshan said.
"Alright, if he's really as strong as you say, a big hero, then he'll definitely accept my challenge. He won't be a coward!" Tang Yuqi knew how to provoke her, and Lingshan knew what he was thinking. She only smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart.
In fact, Lingshan hadn't seen Lin Yi in a while, and she missed Lin Yi a lot. But she heard that Lin Yi was very busy these days, being a bodyguard for Xu Shihan, and the company's new product was on the market. So she didn't want to disturb Lin Yi.
She hadn't encountered any difficult cases that she couldn't solve, either. Tang Yuqi could take care of normal cases, and she didn't need Lin Yi's help. So there was no reason for Lingshan to ask Lin Yi for help.
Now was an opportunity- Lin Yi wanted to challenge him, and Lingshan could use this to ask Lin Yi out and meet him! This was also why Lingshan agreed to help Tang Yuqi.
"I'll talk to him." Lingshan said.
"Alright! If that's the case, then I won't pester you anymore. I'll take the case file back and look at it. If you want to stay in the office, then we can continue. I'll go back first. "Tang Yuqi didn't pester her anymore after achieving his goal.
Lingshan was a little surprised. She nodded. "I'll look at it for a while."
"Alright, see you tomorrow." Tang Yuqi didn't say much and left the office with the case file.
After Tang Yuqi left, Lingshan sighed and called Lin Yi.
"Lingshan?" Lin Yi was a little surprised when he picked up. Lingshan hadn't contacted him for a while. "Is there another case you can't solve?"
"Not really." Lingshan heard Lin Yi's words and felt a little embarrassed. It was as if she was useless. Every time she looked for Lin Yi, it was to solve a case! She quickly said. "It's like this … There's a colleague in the police station who's chasing me …"
"Colleague? Pursue you? "Lin Yi paused." You called me just to tell me this? "" Huh?
"I rejected him and told him that I already have someone I like, but … He wants to challenge you …" Lingshan said.
"Pfft …" Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm a practitioner, and a Sky class at that. He wants to challenge me?"
"Actually … He's a practitioner too, and a Sky class …" Lingshan smiled bitterly.
