State Security is different from the rest of the governmentagencies. Other than National Day, the staffs had to work on Oct 2ndand 3rd in shifts. Everyone had to return to work on 4thOct. Today was Dong Xuebing could rest before he returns to work. He returnedhome with Qu Yunxuan and saw his small one-bedroom apartment. He got the familiarfeeling as he sat on his couch.

Aunt Xuan helped him keep all his belongs: "Hehe... The homestill feel the best?"

Dong Xuebing replied. "Of course. I am almost going bonkersat the hospital. It was so boring!"

"Ok. I had escorted you safely back home, and I should go. Istill must work overtime during the holidays." Qu Yunxuan helped Dong Xuebingpour a cup of hot tea and pinched his cheeks playfully: "Sister Luan is notreturning back to Beijing for the holidays? Then you stay at home alone. If youneed anything, just send me a message. Don't go out by yourself and wait athome for me. Bye."

"Ok. Bye."

Clicked. The door closes.

Dong Xuebing had fully recovered from his injuries. He gotup and wanted to cook a bowl of egg tomato soup. But after the soup was cooked,he discovered he had run out of vinegar. He finished his soup and took theempty bottle to the supermarket nearby. While walking to the supermarket, hethought back on how Aunt Xuan took care of him the past few days, and he smiled.

Was there anyone else that's as virtuous as Aunt Xuan inthis world?

Was there anyone else that's as pretty as Aunt Xuan in thisworld?

No.

There's no one else as virtuous and pretty as her.

Dong Xuebing was still letting his imaginations run wildwhen he saw a stunning beauty appearing in his sights. He was shocked. Helooked at that slim figure. The woman was standing under a tree using herphone. Her hair was tied into a bun and was wearing a suit. Her eyes were a crescentshape with long lashes and had a small face which was beautiful beyond words.

There's really someone as pretty as Aunt Xuan.

Dong Xuebing took in a deep breath. He was a normal man andlikes to look at pretty women. He pretended to be waiting for someone and keptstealing glances at that woman. The woman should be about slightly older thanhim. She looked mature, and her movements were graceful.

Many passers-by also notice this beautiful woman and all ofthem were looking at her.

Dong Xuebing noticed a skinny man walked past that woman andstopped behind her. He seems to be looking at the woman carefully.

This graceful woman ignored everyone's looks and continuedto smile and talks on the phone: "Old Zhou, it is not that I am not helpingyou... It is beyond my ability to help... Yes... You can ask Xiao An. He is close toMinister Zhao. Ok?" After talking on the phone for a while, she hung up andkept the phone into her opened handbag. She turned and walked away in her backheels.

Dong Xuebing took his eyes off her and start walking backtowards his home.

Sigh... All he could do was to look at the woman from far. Heknew he was not good enough for this type of women.

After taking two steps, Dong Xuebing heard a sweet woman'svoice: "Eh? Where is my wallet?" Dong Xuebing turned around and saw the womansearching her handbag. She then looked around on the ground.

A kind old lady went up to her and asked: "You can't findyour wallet? Did you drop it somewhere?"

The woman frowned: "I should not have dropped it. It wasstill in my bag 2 minutes ago when I was on the phone."

"Oh, then your wallet should be stolen."

2 minutes ago?

Dong Xuebing paused. He remembered that skinny man standingvery close to her when she was on the phone just now. He stopped beside her forabout 2 seconds. Damn! That was a pickpocket?

BACK!

...

Time returns back to 1 minute ago.

The woman was still on the phone under the tree.

"Old Zhou, it is not that I am not helping you... It isbeyond my ability to help... Yes... You can ask Xiao An. He is close to MinisterZhao. Ok?" The woman was smiling as she talks on the phone. 2 meters from her,the skinny man walked away from her quickly with his hands covering hisstomach.

Dong Xuebing put down his bottle of vinegar on the floor andran over.

The bystanders were looking at him as he tried to make aslittle noise as he ran. When he was closer to the skinny man, he pounced ontohim. "Stop!"

The skinny man fell onto the floor and shouted: "What areyou doing?"

"What am I doing? You should know what I am doing. Where isthe wallet?" Dong Xuebing got into a tussle with that man.

The skinny man was very confident of his pickpocketing skills.He thought no one would know he had taken that woman's wallet. But this manexposed him and was very sure that he had stolen the wallet. The skinny man wasshocked and frightened. He quickly broke off Dong Xuebing's grip and threw aleather wallet on the floor before running away.

Dong Xuebing saw that man had left the wallet behind and didnot give chase. That skinny man might have accomplices around, and Dong Xuebingmight be ambushed or stabbed if he gave chase.

That beautiful woman looked at Dong Xuebing puzzledly. Shestill does not understand why this young man got into a fight with that skinnyman. But when she saw the wallet in Dong Xuebing's hand, she was stunned. Sheimmediately hangs up the phone and checks her handbag.

Dong Xuebing got up from the floor and walked over to passthe wallet back to that pretty woman. "That man had stolen your wallet."

"Oh..." The woman took the wallet from Dong Xuebing and shookhis hand. "I was on the phone and did not notice it. Thank you. Are you hurt?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"I'm fine." Dong Xuebing shook her hand. His heart hadskipped a beat. freew ebnove l.com

The woman looks prettier closer. It's hard to find words todescribe her beauty.

After some pleasantries, the woman's handphone rang again.She thanked Dong Xuebing again. "I still have something to attend to. Give meyour number, and I will treat you to dinner some other day." From her tone,this woman seems like a leader at her workplace. The way she speaks wascommanding.

Dong Xuebing had wanted to reject her offer, but he couldnot resist her charms. He told her his mobile number.

The woman took out a notebook and jotted down his number."Ok. I will contact you another day. Bye."

Dong Xuebing was still in a daze as he looked at that womanwalked away.

Sigh... Whoever that marries her must be blessed by all his ancestors.
