"I, Lu PingAn, only want a peaceful life."
"And that's your excuse for skipping work today? Get up! Report in now—we're busy as hell today!"
After hanging up, Lu PingAn yawned and glanced at the blazing sun outside.
"Mm, nice weather. Perfect for going back to sleep."
With that, he hugged his pillow and lay back down.
"Ding ding ding!"
But the mechanical synthesized ringtone refused to let him off, even after he buried his head beneath his pillow.
"Seriously, will you quit it already?"
With a helpless sigh, he picked up his phone.
Huh? There was no call. Then what was ringing?
"Boom!"
Finally tired of waiting for the door to open, someone outside simply smashed it down with a violent punch.
Lu PingAn froze for a moment as Captain Xia burst in, looking thoroughly menacing.
Then he flashed a bashful smile and tugged at the blanket while turning sideways.
"Could you step outside for a moment? I-I'm not dressed yet. Don't look, you little brat. You're so lewd."
"Y-you're the lewd one, you idiot!"
Staring at Lu PingAn as his theatrical act kicked into overdrive, the woman finally exploded. She jumped onto the bed and gave him a heartfelt talk with her iron fists.
More than ten minutes later, Lu PingAn, utterly resigned and nursing a pair of panda eyes, pulled on his uniform with a bitter expression and was dragged out the door.
"If I'm not mistaken, today's Sunday, right?"
"Criminals don't take days off. We have to make up for everything we missed before!"
Captain Xia, brimming with energy, clearly made no distinction between workdays and rest days.
And Lu PingAn, who had been trying to live a healthier life, could only give up resisting and obediently report to the police station.
"...Let's go. Next stop."
