And There's More, Keep Talking

The driver was really professional, at least that's how Su Qi saw it.

After Officer Zhang Ru finished talking about lunch, the car quickly drove into a highway service area, also known as a rest stop.

Rest stops are essential facilities on highways, primarily providing short-term services such as toilets, convenience stores, and gas stations.

Officer Zhang Ru, who is always on duty, often comes to this kind of rest stop.

But Su Qi found it somewhat novel, after all, for her, the only means of transportation for longer distances was the train!

Officer Zhang Ru considered this highway service area to be quite upscale. After all, it's located on the border of Zhe City and Su City, and both cities have high average GDPs.

It is said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the service station is doing quite well as a result.

Su Qi and Officer Zhang Ru were heading to the restroom, guided by their driver. Although it was described as being guided, the large restroom was quite conspicuous.

Upon closer inspection, Su Qi was shocked to find that the toilet was shockingly clean.

The floor was spotless, and the toilet smelled wonderful, even having been sprayed with the scent of air freshener—it smelled even better than the men's dormitory she lived in. But what surprised Su Qi most was the LED light on the toilet door to indicate whether anyone was there.

Officer Zhang Ru joked that this time there's no need to worry about the door-banging incident happening again!

Su Qi was still thinking, why should she worry about this? Going to the toilet is quick, isn't it?

She then realized that Officer Zhang Ru had pulled her into the women's restroom. How did she find out? Of course, it was because there were no urinals like those in the men's restroom.

At this moment, Su Qi finally realized what Officer Zhang Ru meant by the door-breaking incident.

Actually, this kind of thing often happens to boys too. For example, at school, you might be sitting in the toilet, engrossed in your phone, enjoying the quiet moment.

Suddenly, someone arrived. He seemed to be in a hurry, pulling on each door one by one. The slightly older wooden doors would open a crack, and the two men's eyes met. It was quite awkward.

But the most embarrassing thing is what it looks like when the door lock is broken and you just pull the whole thing open!

Men also have physiological advantages that allow them to be very fast, so most of the time they don't need as many slots.

But women are different; they all need to use squat toilets.

The increased probability of bumping into the door has also increased several degrees. With this thoughtful design, the toilet not only looks high-end but is also very considerate.

"Um, Su Qi, can you go to the toilet by yourself?" Officer Zhang Ru looked at Su Qi's long Hanfu, the skirt of which was so long that only a pair of embroidered shoes with delicate orchid embroidery could be vaguely seen.

Officer Zhang Ru thought that if it weren't for the high heels, the skirt would definitely have dragged on the ground. Perhaps this was the price of being a fairy! Hearing Officer Zhang Ru's suggestion, Su Qi subconsciously followed her gaze and realized that the skirt was indeed far too long!

However, if I ask Officer Zhang Ru for help, wouldn't that mean I have to hold the Hanfu in both hands to prevent it from falling to the ground, while Officer Zhang Ru helps me take off my panties?

Or would it be better to have her hold up her little dress?

No, that's too embarrassing.

Su Qi blushed – her small face flushed red – and she said, "I'm not going, I'm not going." Then she ran out of the toilet in her embroidered shoes.

Officer Zhang Ru watched as Su Qi's high heels stepped onto the smooth tiles, fearing the little girl might fall again. Since it didn't happen, Officer Zhang Ru breathed a sigh of relief. What a worrying little girl!

However, Officer Zhang Ru guessed that Su Qi probably genuinely didn't need to use the restroom. After all, she had only gone once before leaving, shed two tears on the way, and hadn't had any water, so she didn't press her further.

After that, she went to an empty toilet.

Su Qi waited anxiously for Officer Zhang Ru at the rest area near the restroom entrance.

His innocent and well-behaved appearance, coupled with the refined and otherworldly air he exuded while wearing Hanfu, quickly attracted the attention of many people!

At this moment, Su Qi noticed a young man with dyed yellow hair approaching her.

He then sat down in the chair next to her.

Su Qi smelled a faint smell of smoke on him. She never smoked, and no one in her dormitory or home smoked, so she found the smell very offensive.

He frowned, picked up a corner of his Hanfu, and silently moved to the chair next to him.

When Blondie saw that Su Qi didn't yell at him, he felt there was hope.

Think about those obsessive guys in TV dramas and movies—they all slowly test the waters before finally winning the heart of their sweethearts!

Seeing the little girl's worldly-wise demeanor, she probably won't make a fuss. Doesn't that mean I've had a stroke of good luck today?

So he moved forward discreetly and sat down in the seat Su Qi had just taken. But just then, a strong, powerful hand grabbed his shoulder!

A burly male police officer in uniform smiled at him, took out his left hand, pointed to the Public Security Bureau next to him, and said, "I think we should have a talk!"

The police didn't appear out of thin air; Officer Zhang Ru saw them. Although she was also a police officer, she thought that people in uniform were more intimidating. Thus, the scene just now unfolded.

Inside the police station, Blondie was recounting what had just happened.

"My biology teacher once said that if you can smell a girl's natural scent even when she's not wearing perfume, it means your genes selected her."

After the male officer wrote these down on a piece of paper, he looked up at the Blondie man and said, "Anything else? Go on."

Having just experienced what happened, Su Qi felt incredibly safe with Officer Zhang Ru. Even her eyes held a hint of admiration.

Although Officer Zhang Ru appreciated this, she still couldn't help but sigh.

This little girl has definitely watched too many TV dramas; she's definitely using the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope. It's a cliché, but it works wonders on this naive, worldly-wise young girl!

It seemed she still needed to keep an eye on this little girl—thinking that she had just been fooled by her actor-acting brother and unscrupulous mother without even realizing it, Officer Zhang Ru felt even more worried.

Next to the toilet were a convenience store and several restaurants.

Although it seems a bit odd that the restaurant is built next to the toilet, the service area isn't very big, so it makes sense when you think about it that way.

The two eventually chose a beef noodle restaurant.

Su Qi was stunned as soon as she entered the door. The reason was simple: the bowl for the noodles was enormous. It felt like it could easily fit her entire face with room to spare.

The waiter who entered was also stunned to see two beautiful women come in.

The restaurant's customers are mostly long-haul truck drivers. They chose such large bowls to ensure they were well-fed.

Two glamorous women walked in at once, making him feel that something was off about the scene.

Especially the little girl in Hanfu, among these burly men, she looked like a fairy who had descended to earth.

Not only were the waiters watching Su Qi, but many truck drivers also noticed the little girl.

But as they gazed at Su Qi, Su Qi was also gazing at them.

Looking at their burly, broad-shouldered figures, Su Qi inexplicably thought of a saying:

Even the best fitness coach can't beat a truck driver!
