Chapter 22: Lunch (Part 1)

  Yan Feng and Gu Long studied the case for half a day, and it wasn't until dawn that they fell asleep in the director's office. They didn't wake up until almost noon, when Yan Feng went to find Rong Yi. He brought his luggage with him, planning to leave for Erjie Mountain after discussing things with Rong Yi. Before this, he had been too busy to see Ling Long even once.

  Rong Yi had bought a small farmhouse in Jing County because she liked the scenery there. She would often come here to stay without any particular reason. But Yan Feng didn't expect her to invite him to her home to discuss things.

  "Ah, you're here! Please sit down, I just need to finish cooking one more dish," Rong Yi said as she ran into the kitchen.

  As he watched Rong Yi's energetic figure, Yan Feng didn't have time to refuse. This woman was always so fiery and impulsive that she wouldn't let others get a word in edgewise. Now he could only enter the house, but he didn't close the door behind him. It wasn't for any particular reason; it was just that Rong Yi's fragrance had taken his breath away, making him feel like he was going to pass out.

  Rong Yi never knew when to stop, and she always overdid things! Yan Feng thought to himself as he began to observe the house due to professional habit.

  Rong Yi's house didn't look much different from an ordinary farmhouse. If there were any differences, it was in the modern decorations and color scheme, which was mostly white. The entire house was quite large, with each room connected to the others. However, there wasn't much furniture, and what little there was had simple lines that reflected Rong Yi's straightforward personality. The place was also spotlessly clean, making Yan Feng feel uneasy and not daring to touch anything.

  "Come sit over here, don't just stand there," Rong Yi said as she emerged with the final dish. It wasn't until then that Yan Feng got a clear look at her outfit.

  She was barefoot, wearing a bright red jumpsuit with a low V-neckline and short sleeves. The tight fabric hugged her curvaceous figure, making it seem like he could see right through to her second skin. Her deadly curves were on full display, leaving him breathless.

  Rong Yi's eyes sparkled as she smiled at Yan Feng, who was still standing there in a daze. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!"

  Her figure is a bit like that of Westerners, typical of the plump and full type. All along, I thought she was 16K, solid, full, and powerful, I don't know if it's due to long-term exercise. Her waist is flat, slightly thicker, but this doesn't affect the overall beauty of her body at all. She is different from Wura, who has a perfect proportion, slender limbs, like the figure of a Russian girl. As for Linglong, when he first saw her, she was wearing pajamas and standing alone under the tree, perhaps due to the environment, he felt that she was very fragile, guessing that her figure was also a soft and beautiful type with smooth curves.

  "What are you spacing out for? Sit down!" Rongyi saw Yanfeng staring at himself in a daze, thinking that he was shocked by his own sensuality. He said happily, while putting the last dish on the table.

  Yanfeng came back to his senses, secretly scolding the wolfish nature of men. Just looking at someone wearing sexy clothes, and having all sorts of thoughts. Even guessing Linglong's figure.

  He sat in the chair opposite Rongyi. Because he saw Rongyi's face, his hot body and head cooled down.

  "This is too rich. Dr. Rong treats colleagues with such enthusiasm, unfortunately, I'm unworthy." Yanfeng looked at the full table of dishes.

  Those dishes were as colorful as Rongyi, but just arranged in this way was quite good-looking, but people shouldn't be like that, it's really nauseating. I don't know what Rongyi and Linglong learned these days, why they couldn't learn to put on light makeup? The thick white powder, bright red lipstick and blush, black eye circles and eyebrows on her face seemed suitable for the stage, but sitting face-to-face eating lunch was a bit too much.

  "I'm not cooking for just anyone." Rongyi put his hands on the table, intentionally revealing a deep cleavage that didn't need to be squeezed hard. "I heard you're going out on a business trip today, so I specially made a farewell meal."

  "Police going out on business trips isn't a common thing? No need for a farewell?" Seeing Rongyi pick up a chopstick and offer him something he didn't know what it was, Yanfeng could only open his mouth and swallow, feeling that the thing was old and bitter. He chewed it twice with difficulty and swallowed it hard.

  "..."

  "Did I just finish the autopsy without washing my hands? Is there a medicinal smell on the food?" Rong Yi said.

  Yan Feng almost threw up, while Rong Yi burst out laughing, her face shaking violently, and the white powder on her face fell off in clumps.

  "You're so scared, it's not even true," Rong Yi continued to laugh. "This is why people who do autopsy work can't find a partner, unless the other person is also a forensic doctor."

  "Doctor Rong is too humorous, I'm a coward and can't take the scare." Yan Feng was very embarrassed. "But I know many seniors in the police department, I'll introduce one to you later."

  "Why introduce a senior to me? Are you implying that I'm old?"

  "No, no!" Yan Feng hastily shook his head, feeling it's difficult to get along with Doctor Rong. "I really didn't mean that."

  "That's good, I like young men." Rong Yi shrugged her shoulders. "I mean relatively young, like you." Yan Feng smiled foolishly but didn't dare respond, and could only eat his food quickly. After thinking for a while, he finally came up with a topic: "Right, Doctor Rong, I heard from Gu Long that you wanted to see me about something. It's not just to send me off, is it?"

  "Call me Sister Yi."

  In an instant, Yan Feng's teeth almost ached, and his lips moved for half a day before he could finally say those three words. The entire police department knew he was a tough guy, but in front of Rong Yi, he only felt embarrassed. He knew that Rong Yi had been pursuing him, and the fact was so obvious and direct that he couldn't even defend himself.

  Earlier, Gu Long said Doctor Rong had "very very important" things to discuss with him, and he thought it was about the case, after all, Rong Yi was the chief forensic doctor in charge of this case, and she did all the autopsies by herself. But now, her so-called "very very important" matter seemed very personal.

  He didn't have any special feelings towards this "two lives" doctor, neither good nor bad, just wanting to work together as colleagues. But she always found ways to make him feel awkward.

  "This dish is actually quite delicious." He didn't know how to address her properly, so he simply said, "I need to eat quickly, I have a task in the afternoon. By the way, I heard from Gu Long that you've made some new discoveries about the case?"

  "Firstly, you can call me Rong if you want, it's more intimate." Rong Yi listened to Yan Feng say that the dish was delicious and continued to serve him food, making Yan Feng want to bite his own tongue. The dishes looked good, but he now seriously suspected they were used for poisoning people.

  "Secondly, inviting you to dinner is an important matter. This is my first time cooking for a man."

  "That's too much of an honor." Yan Feng said vaguely, feeling like he had done a good deed by trying out poison on future Mr. Rong. But logically speaking, when Rong Yi got married, her husband wouldn't be called Mr. Rong, but rather she would be called Mrs. Something. However, this strong and proactive woman might just turn things upside down.

  "Lastly, if you insist on discussing work, I do have something to say."

  "Oh? What about?" Yan Feng became interested, his full attention now focused on the case.

  "About Cheng Lingluo."
