Wall Kiss

"That’s my Hanzi. He’s always punctual and would never run off. This definitely has something to do with you."

The woman shouted angrily, then actually started hitting him. "Give me back my Hanzi! Give me back my son…"

"You—you can’t just hit people! Criminal Inspectors! Criminal Inspectors! Stop this crazy woman…"

Black Sunglasses was a gang leader too. If someone had dared hit him like this at any other time, he would have struck back long ago. But he couldn’t do that here. This was the City Police Department.

If he really dared to cause a scene here, with his background, there was an eighty or ninety percent chance he would be thrown into the Detention Center to cool off for a while.

"Ma’am, please calm down!"

The two Criminal Inspectors hurriedly held the agitated woman back and stopped her from continuing to attack him, even though they really disliked Black Sunglasses.

Still, they had to follow the rules and regulations. It had yet to be confirmed whether he was involved in this matter, and even if he was, they couldn’t simply allow others to violate his safety.

"Waaah~~ My son! My Hanzi…"

Unable to make a scene and get her way, the woman sprawled on the floor and began wailing. Perhaps, just as Black Sunglasses had said, her real goal was money.

"Ma’am! Ma’am!"

The two Criminal Inspectors pleaded helplessly as they tried to pull her up. "Please get up first. Tell us what happened slowly. You say your son’s disappearance is related to this gentleman. Do you have any evidence?

"You should know that your son has been missing for less than forty-eight hours. According to regulations, we still can’t open a case."

"Exactly! How long has he even been missing? It hasn’t been thirty hours, has it? What are you getting so worked up about? Hiss!"

Black Sunglasses covered the wound on his face as he spoke. He accidentally tugged at it while talking and sucked in a breath from the pain.

"Hmm~"

As Gu Sheng watched, he suddenly turned his head. A little tail had apparently followed him from behind. Afraid of attracting Le Erya’s attention, he continued walking, going around the people blocking the way and heading toward the restroom.

"Hehe!"

Once Gu Sheng left, Le Erya emerged from the corner where she had been hiding. She stared at his back with a mischievous grin and carefully followed him all the way to the corridor leading to the restroom.

But just then, Gu Sheng suddenly quickened his pace and dashed into the men’s restroom. By the time she foolishly reached the corner, he was already nowhere to be seen.

"That doesn’t make sense! How did that kid notice me?"

Le Erya wore a puzzled expression. When she reached the restroom, she hesitated. She had planned to wait until Gu Sheng entered the men’s restroom, then draw some water from the sink outside and control the water to teach him a lesson.

But perhaps Gu Sheng had somehow figured out her plan. After entering the restroom, he hadn’t gone to the urinals. Instead, he had headed toward the stalls.

Her Telekinesis had only just awakened. She couldn’t control anything outside her line of sight. Since she didn’t know which stall Gu Sheng had entered, it was impossible for her to make it "rain" over every single closed stall, right?

"Hmph~ You think this is enough to stump me?"

Le Erya was not the type to admit defeat. How could she give up without accomplishing her goal? Her eyes turned, and she stood beside the sink, slowly washing her hands as she prepared to wait for Gu Sheng to come out.

"What’s wrong with this kid? Is he constipated?"

Le Erya waited and waited. After a long time, Gu Sheng still hadn’t come out, and she was growing increasingly irritated. There wasn’t even the slightest sign of him.

She kept craning her neck to peek into the men’s restroom. Fortunately, there was no one else around. Otherwise, people would have thought that this pretty young woman was a pervert.

"Creak~"

A half-closed restroom door was pulled open. Gu Sheng, who looked as though he had finished his business, walked out. Le Erya saw the scene from the corner of her eye through the glass and was furious.

She hadn’t expected Gu Sheng to be so crafty. If she had just now sent water into several closed stalls, not only would she have failed to splash Gu Sheng, she might even have offended someone else.

"Hehe~~ You think that’s the end of it? Just wait until you come out. I’ll show you."

Le Erya hummed under her breath as she already lifted a ball of water in both hands.

"Yaya, are you outside?"

Gu Sheng suddenly called out, startling Le Erya. The ball of water she had gathered dropped into the sink with a splash, and she hurriedly darted into the women’s restroom.

"Tap~ tap~ tap~"

A series of footsteps faded into the distance. Hiding in the women’s restroom, Le Erya quietly let out a breath. She didn’t want Gu Sheng to catch her.

"That’s right. Run while you can!"

Le Erya said this, then stepped out of the women’s restroom and washed her hands again. She was heading down the corridor to leave when a hand suddenly settled on her shoulder.

"Ah!"

Le Erya cried out in fright and hurriedly turned around. When she saw Gu Sheng standing behind her with a mischievous grin, she was furious.

She strode forward and jabbed a finger against his chest, snapping, "Are you insane? Don’t you know that startling people can scare them to death?"

"No, Yaya. Didn’t I already call out to you earlier? You didn’t hear me?"

Gu Sheng spread his hands with an innocent look, but the mischievous grin on his face was far too bright.

"Gu Sheng, you bastard!"

How could Le Erya not know she had been played? She raised her fist and swung it at his face. She had always been the one playing tricks on others, after all!

"Yaya, what are you doing~"

Gu Sheng dodged Le Erya’s punch, then reached out and grabbed her. With both hands, he used her momentum to force her back against the wall.

Le Erya panicked. Looking at the approaching Gu Sheng, she stammered, "W-what are you doing? Gu Sheng, I’m warning you. I’m a Criminal Inspector. Don’t do anything rash.

"Attacking a Criminal Inspector will get you detained. It’ll also leave a record, which won’t do your future any good."

"Yaya, tell me—are you following me because you like me?"

Gu Sheng looked down at Le Erya’s embarrassed, angry, and timid expression. She looked even more captivating like this.

"No! Aren’t you being way too narcissistic? If I were going to like someone, I’d like a mature handsome man. You’re even younger than me. How could I possibly like you?"

Le Erya nervously turned her head away, not daring to look at Gu Sheng. She shrank back, not even daring to face his gaze. Unfortunately, both her hands were restrained, and there was a wall behind her. She had nowhere to hide.

"I know. You’re saying one thing but meaning another. Yaya, actually, I also…"

Gu Sheng’s words aroused Le Erya’s curiosity, making her turn her head instinctively. Just as she was about to lift her delicate chin, a face in her vision rapidly grew larger.

"Mmph~"

Le Erya was dumbfounded. Her eyes widened as she stared at the focused face before her, eyes closed. She had actually been kissed by this young man she had always bullied, stealing her first kiss.

This can’t be happening. I should push him away. I should resist. But this feeling… should I wait a little longer…?

She told herself she had to resist, but her hands instead wrapped around Gu Sheng’s neck of their own accord. In that silent environment, the two of them quietly expressed their feelings to each other.
