My Life with Narration-Chapter 237 - 236: Dad, Are You Still Listening?

"Let go, let go of me, you're done for, I'll definitely get Junjun to beat you up!" Sun Mumu shouted.

At this moment, in front of everyone in the office, Su Qing slammed the social bandit onto the table with a smack.

Despite acting like a minor and needing to shop in kids' clothing stores, he dared to demand to be called "sister." What nonsense.

He already knew that Sun Mumu and Li Zijun were not only roommates but also high school classmates. Although they went to different universities and studied different majors—one becoming a police officer, the other working here—they still chose to room together.

Sun Mumu looked like a young, undeveloped legal lolita, but in fact, she was the same age as Li Zijun, which meant she was four years older than Su Qing.

Technically, calling her "sister" made sense given their ages, but Su Qing wasn't having it.

If he couldn't handle Li Zijun, could he not handle this social bandit?

If it weren't for the thin summer clothes, he would have liked to grab her by the collar and lift her up. Did she really think she could push him around just because she was a classmate of Li Zijun?

Not a chance, definitely not a chance!

"I advise you to think carefully before speaking, after all, you're currently in my hands!" Su Qing said smugly, not worried at all. Although Li Zijun was a threat to him, they didn't see each other every day, and they didn't live together, so what was there to fear!

"I'm classmates with your sister, I'm the same age as Junjun! How dare you be so disrespectful to me!" Sun Mumu cried.

Su Qing smirked dismissively, "If we're going by that logic, I have a big brother, your senior, so you should call me Uncle Su, dear niece!"

Li Maoquan, when drunk, called him his second brother, which was quite complimentary. Li Zijun even had to call him godfather, which hadn't been said for a while.

Anyway, wanting him to call her "sister" to take advantage? The social bandit could forget it.

"Mumu, stop it, Su Qing, let her go!" Lin Miaomiao saw her ally being subdued and broke free from the concern of several colleagues, rushing over to plead.

Seeing Lin Miaomiao, more or less recovered, Su Qing pushed Sun Mumu aside and asked, "Didn't President Shen give you two days off in the group chat? Why are you here at work today?"

"I was bored at home, so I came to work, and I've moved, now living with Mumu. Really, thank you so much for what you did a few days ago!" Lin Miaomiao thanked with her hands together in gratitude.

She hadn't come to work yesterday because she had gone back to the east suburbs to move house and return the rent to the landlord. One day was definitely enough time.

If she weren't living with Sun Mumu, police inquiries about the case would have had to come repeatedly to her place, but with Li Zijun around, that could be handled at home.

Plus, she felt safe having a police officer at home, the only thing was sharing a bed with Su Mumu.

Luckily, they were both girls, so they didn't mind this sort of thing. Men and women were different; almost all men wouldn't want to share a bed with another man, no matter how good the relationship, because it seems a little strange. But some girls love to sleep next to their girlfriends.

"It's nothing. I'm also a part-timer at the police station, it's my duty!" Su Qing responded politely. By now, the whole office knew he also worked at the police station, so there was no need to hide it.

At this point, the social bandit, rubbing her wrist, transformed into a keyboard warrior, quickly writing a lengthy piece and sending it to her roommate Li Zijun in complaint, then looked up with a cold smile:

"You're done for, just wait, Junjun will definitely avenge me!"

Hearing this, Su Qing's eyes widened, and he raised his hand as if to gesture, causing her to rush back to her workstation and sit down, getting ready to work.

Lin Miaomiao thanked him again and then returned to her workstation.

It was work time, and people in the office started working on their own initiative. Their workload was not heavy and pressure was minimal, unlike the business department, where every day felt intense and busy.

Even though people were working, colleagues sitting nearby would chat with each other; it created a relaxed atmosphere, which he really enjoyed, a nice change from the police station's environment.

During lunch break, Dahuang went to the publicity department to bum some food, with Old Wang there to take good care of it.

How to say, after experiencing a graduation banquet, Dahuang seemed to understand the fickle nature of people, the warmth and coldness of the world. Some seemed to like it but never thought of feeding it even for one day. Some made money off it, but in the end kicked away its food bowl. Only the publicity department felt like a warm home.

Meanwhile, Su Qing and the other two ordered takeout as usual.

"Payday! Payday, yay!" Sun Mumu exclaimed excitedly, eyes filled with content as she checked her phone.

Lin Miaomiao hurriedly picked up her phone, discovering her salary had been credited, feeling satisfied, yet she looked at Su Qing with some hesitation.

"Say it, just say it already!" urged a somewhat impatient Sun Mumu encouragingly.

Hearing this, Su Qing turned his head, finding the two girls looking at him, he was puzzled.

"What's this about?"

"Well... um, thank you, Su Qing, for what you did that day," Lin Miaomiao stammered her thanks, her face turning red.

"You've already thanked me this morning."

Seeing her struggle, Sun Mumu piped up, "Today's payday, Miaomiao wants to treat you to dinner as a thank you."

"And... and the rest of our department!" Lin Miaomiao added quickly.

To this, Su Qing couldn't help but smile, "You've just been paid, no need to spend so much! We're all in the same department, just bring some fruit. That'll be enough!"

"Really, Miaomiao wants you to bring that friend of yours, so she can thank him too!" ventured a somewhat guessing Sun Mumu, while Lin Miaomiao nodded alongside.

Seeing this, it seemed these two had already planned it out, so he nodded and agreed:

"Alright then, I'll contact him. Let's all go out tonight, have some fun, and relax."

Hearing his agreement, Lin Miaomiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[A girl's budding love often blooms in a fleeting moment. Fools have their luck, and lovesick puppies also have their springtime. Some cherish what others discard as trash; Lin Miaomiao... is in love!]

At these words, Su Qing's eyes widened immediately. This girl was in love? And from the narration, he immediately understood.

Wang Xing, yes, it had to be him.

Looking at Lin Miaomiao's loli-like appearance and thinking about Wang Xing's burly build, he couldn't help but find it a bit comical.

Of course, judging only by looks, Wang Xing was marrying up. If the two could get together, it'd certainly be great fortune for him.

Then he hurried to the restroom to call Wang Xing.

"Got plans for tonight?"

"Nope, why?"

"How about getting dinner tonight?"

"Tonight? I have a client..."

"There'll be girls!"

"Not sure, a bunch of them, from my department."

"What time, where?"

Su Qing: ...

"Say something, what time, I'll go get a haircut right away! Hey, are you still listening?"

At this, he wasn't sure whether to feel happy or worried.

Happy because a girl seemed interested in Wang Xing, and Lin Miaomiao, well, she was gentle with a bit of an airhead vibe, clearly not the scheming type, which was great.

But was Wang Xing up to it? This fool probably didn't even know a girl liked him yet and was still hung up on the idea of meeting a bunch of female coworkers.

Also, the narration didn't say anything about Wang Xing being interested in Lin Miaomiao; was it unrequited?

He opened his mouth, wanting to hint at something, but the next second a narration appeared in his head.

[Emotions are the most complex variables. Even subtle interference can cause large shifts in outcomes, and feelings are a choice made by two people, not a decision reached by a crowd. It's better to dismantle ten temples than ruin one marriage, so interfering in others' emotional issues must be approached with utmost caution!]

Fine, now he didn't have a way to speak even if he wanted to.

Because he had no idea if his actions would make things better or worse, in his moment of excitement earlier he nearly broke his vow, forgetting his rule never to meddle in anyone's emotional business.

After all, even during that disgusting episode with Jiang Mengting, he didn't intervene, let alone this relationship, where not even the first step had been taken.

"Dad, Dad, are you still there? Say something!"

Su Qing: ...

...
