When A Snail Loves Chapter 17

Greatly dismiss the strange feeling on the tip of his fingers, Ji bai says to Lao Wu: “Really not simple. Have you ever seen a hostage being more fearsome than the kidnapper?”

Lao Wu laughs: “The point is although she’s a petite girl, she has such a terrifying strength.

Both of them faintly smiled.

Lao Wu continues to say: “ Train her properly, you never know she might even be a godly investigator. However, it’s problematic that she is lacking her physical strength.

“It won’t be a problem,”Ji Bai says: “Make her tired as if she changed several layers of skin will naturally increase her physical strength.”

The next morning when Xu Xu wakes up, the red marks on her chest still hadn’t completely faded. Because of her very pale skin, it is even frightening in her perspective looking at herself in the mirror.

Xu Xu rubs on some rose’s oil that makes her body emits the oil’s fragrance. Reached the office, Yao Meng leans in closer to Xu Xu and sniffs: “Did you hurt yourself yesterday?”

“Just got a little bit bruised.” Xu Xu replied.

A moment later, Ji Bai having his hands in his pant’s pockets relaxingly walks in the office. He nods to greet everyone then goes in his office.

If it were some other girls, they would be embarrassed seeing Ji Bai today because of what happened. Because Xu Xu is naturally different than the norm in that area, she just politely greets Ji bai.

Ji Bai is of course just as usual; He knows how to control himself, he also perfectly clear why he yearns for that soft feeling. It’s only natural since he hasn’t been this intimate with a woman in far too long. That’s why he immediately take a cold shower reaching home yesterday’s night thus all the fantasy is completely gone. He doesn’t have any other thought seeing Xu Xu today.

“Hey, do you feel there is something different about the atmosphere after the superintendent is back? Yao Meng glances over at Ji Bai’s office, quietly asks.

Xu Xu nods. It’s more nerve wrecking. Everyone speaks in a lower tone and faster than usual.

Naturally, Xu Xu adapt quite well at this atmosphere.

There are many tasks to be done for Duong Vu’s case making Yao Meng and Xu Xu very busy the whole morning.

Because of many works to be done for Duong Vu’s case, Yao Meng and Xu Xu are very busy for the whole morning. In the evening, all the documents and forms are about completed. Xu Xu couldn’t even take a breath before the phone on the table rings. Ji Bai is calling: “Get in here!”

Xu Xu walks into his office. Jai Bai is leaning onto his chair holding documents in his hands, not even raised his head: “Close the door!”

Xu Xu closes the doo and obediently standstill. Jai Bai looks up at her: “Sit down!”

Xu Xu sat down.

Feeling the peer look that Jai Bai is giving her, Xu Xu promptly looks straight at Jai Bai. His face is handsome with a clean look; his two eyes are slight close, wanting to evaluate Xu Xu.

Xu Xu likes to observe someone’s eyes because they tell a bit about the person’s mental state. But Ji Bai’s eyes at any given time are indifferent making it impossible for other to see through him.

“You are the first officer who gets caught as a hostage in the past 10 years.” Ji Bai says: “How do you explain that?” with a low and stern voice. His look is ice cold. Xu Xu heard that Ji bai made some female officers cried while lecturing them.

However, Xu Xu doesn’t show any sign of tension, she replies: “I don’t think I need to explain.”

It’s not that Xu Xu doesn’t feel shameful about it, it just that she is by nature very composed. She acknowledges her physical ability is always been her weakness. But she believes that everyone has his or her own weaknesses, why does one have to feel shameful about it?

Ji Bai remains silent while the pair of his eyes staring at her attentively. Xu Xu relaxingly faces his eyes. A moment later, there is a little bit of smile in the look of his eyes.

This look makes Xu Xu feels pressured all of the sudden, s a sign something bad is about to happen.

Indeed, Ji Bai throws the stack of the document down on the table. Xu Xu glances over, realizing that they are her background documents. The section about her physical strength’s result circled in red pen by Ji Bai.

“You got a pass.” Xu Xu strongly emphasizes.

“ You are the only one who got a pass in the whole team in physical.” Jai Bai says coldly: “While everyone else got excellence scores in it. Moreover, I just inquire that even though you got a pass, however, you placed badly.

This time, Xu Xu’s face turns red. In any case, to an excellence college student like Xu Xu, Ji Bai bad way to look at it thus makes Xu Xu feel bad on the inside.

Ji Bai looks at her attentively: “ Your physical ability has to be from “pass” to “good” within three months. You just work in the office and cannot go outside to work on any case in these three months. You don’t need a subordinate who could be caught as a hostage as any time and burden the whole team.

Leaving the Jai Bai’s officer, Xu Xu is a bit downhearted. She isn’t sure she can reach the result that Ji Bai is expecting?

From that time, the heavy pressure of “might not able to reach the result” placed on her. Got home from work. She immediately researches related information to build up a plan to strengthen her physical ability. This plan is really strict. She has to train hard while increases her food partition size.

That night, Xu Huan calls her and asks if she is finished with the case yet. He wants to introduce a man working in the IT field to her. Xu Xu agrees.

*IT field: science field

Xu Huan can tell that his sister is in a bad mood. After hearing everything from Xu Xu, he smiles in agreement: “Your superior is right, I’m also not at ease that you are catching criminals given your physical ability. “

Xu Xu feels that it is miserable to working out so she doesn’t want to mistreat herself. Next day at 6 am, she leaves the house and buys a delicious breakfast then goes to the police station.

The police station has a training field belonging to the police academy. At this time, it is still dark while there is fog covering the track. Xu Xu wears headphone starts to run slowly like usual.

There are a few fit young men and middle age men run passed Xu Xu. Most of them are wearing policer’ tank top. Xu Xu just runs 2 laps, suddenly hear a cold voice speak up: “Are you a snail?” Xu Xu turns her head to see Ji bai. He is wearing a brown tanktop with a black workout pant standing next to her.

He clearly had been running for a while because his chest and back are full of sweat while his hair is also wet. His face is a little bit red. Under the morning’ sunshine, the handsome and clean look of his is extremely stunning. But his expression is very stern; he furrows his brows to look at Xu Xu.

Because of the close distance between them, Xu Xu could smell Jai Bai’s hot manly breaths and sweats coming from him. By natural response, Xu Xu moves back couple of steps from Ji Bai. From Ji Bai’s eyes, Xu Xu’s response is like of a small and scared animal. Male and female are different *, Jai Bai doesn’t force her but just speaks up in a cold voice: “ Run faster!”

With great difficulty, Xu Xu uses all her strength to speed up. It’s not because she is scared of Jia Bai but Xu Xu heard that Ji Bai kicked some people who he wasn’t pleased with from the team in the past without hesitation. Xu Xu wants to be a detective officer; she never let herself get kicked out of the team. Moreover, she understands why Ji Bai requires her to do this; honestly, this is actually for her own good.

Xu Xu doesn’t slow down because there is a chance that Ji Bai might follow her from behind. After running for half the field, Xu Xu realized there isn’t any sound of footstep coming from behind. She turns around; all the fogs are faded for a bit, Ji Bai didn’t follow her.

Xu Xu breaths out in relief then slow down. Physical ability cannot be changed in one day or two; it has to be built up slowly anyway. Who would know after ran for the next half of the field, she immediately sees a familiar silhouette at the workout equipment’s area.

At this time, all the fogs are faded; the morning’s sunshine is shining down the grass field. Ji Bai is standing with his back facing Xu Xu, he is holding an equipment that seems very heavy. His shadow is rather huge. Ji Bai’s big muscles are slowly visible clearly under his thin tank top. When he releases the equipment, the muscles are gone. The back becomes proportional thin, creates gentlemen look under the sun’s light.

Xu Xu always felt that Ji Bai is tall and huge but not burly, who knew he has rock-solid muscles like that. Even though Xu Xu never been in a relationship before, she still knows how to enjoy the beauty. Actually, Xu Xu doesn’t like men who have muscles but men who are gentle and courteous like more. From Xu Xu’s perspective, Ji Bai can be called handsome but the fact that he has a lot of muscles, which are hidden. Despite, he still lost points in Xu Xu’s eyes.
