DRAGON DIVISION [Dragon Division]
Chapter 45: A Bet Between Two Women

After Xu Cheng left the factory, he received a call from the instructor.

“You should come to work early tonight, come at 7.”

Xu Cheng was curious. "What's been going on?"

“Tonight, Lin Chuxue will be holding her new album signing event at the shopping square in the North Gate area. In fact you should know that he is very popular, so the organizers ask for help to our bureau, and we have to help security in that area.”

“Is there no security company? Why are they suddenly asking us to leave too?”

“Of course Lin Chuxue is different, she is not called the blue-eyed fairy princess for no reason. The fans were crazy, and the officials were afraid of an accident so they sent us to help. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be our problem.”

Xu Cheng was silent. Oh yeah, since her boss already said that, she could only go back, take a shower, and leave for work early.

Ran Jing and Shen Yao saw him wearing his uniform this early, so they also asked curiously, “Do you have a day shift now?”

“Lin Chuxue held a signing event in Shangcheng, and the people of the security company may not be able to control its crazy fans, so we are sent now to help maintain order.”

Shen Yao could sympathize. “Then you have to prepare.”

Xu Cheng asked curiously, “Is this going to be so tiring?”

Shen Yao nodded. “When you are faced with a group of fans whose brains are dead, you really cannot communicate with them by logic. Oh yes, you should buy earplugs, may be useful for your ears.”

Xu Cheng's ears were his treasure now. He went to his room, found some earplugs, and carefully fitted them into his ears. Then, he was ready to leave.

Seeing his ears plugged in, Shen Yao still could not believe that Xu Cheng's hearing was that strong, so she tried to test his hearing again by whispering, “Xu Cheng, you are gay.”

Then, Shen Yao hesitantly looked towards Xu Cheng to check for any reactions. After Xu Cheng walked out the door, Shen Yao immediately snorted, “Huh, it's not too strong. I told you, his ears are not so capable.”

When he finished, Xu Cheng returned and opened the door. “Shen Yao, maybe after I get home from work, we can investigate my sexual orientation more thoroughly. Remember~”

Shen Yao immediately choked on her saliva and blushed.

Xu Cheng smiled proudly and closed the door then left.

Shen Yao felt her understanding of the world was about to collapse. “It won't work, Ran Jing, we have to think of something and move on. His ears are too sensitive, how can we talk behind his back again?”

Speaking of that, Ran Jing curiously asked Shen Yao, “You have the option of not staying here, I'm just confused as to why you are so adamant about staying here, anyway, even if it means being under one roof with a man. Don't tell me that you don't have any money, I won't believe it even if you beat me to death. I also can't believe you like Xu Cheng, and the reason you chose the bed is a bit unreasonable.

"Why? Do you like it? Are you worried that my presence affects your sweet time alone with her?” Shen Yao shifted and said with a satisfied smile.

Ran Jing calmly replied, “No. The reason I came to Shangcheng was to focus on my career, and I currently have no plans to date or find a boyfriend. Don't blame me for being suspicious, unless you like Xu Cheng. Otherwise, it is very difficult for me to understand why someone as beautiful and rich as you insist on living here. Logically, you can easily find high-end private units. Could it be that you also want to study this person, like me?”

“You think I'm bored?” Shen Yao snorted, “Even if he was the only human left on Earth, I wouldn't waste my time studying creatures like him with a negative EQ.”

“Do not change the topic. Come on, just tell me what is the real reason you want to stay here?”

“Don't get too thought out,” replied Shen Yao. “I'm not here for you two. You can go and check it out in the property management office, I've been here for three years.”

"It's been checked," Ran Jing replied.

Ran Jing's eyelids slightly raised.

“The dream is to be a pilot. Do you see how the balcony of this unit overlooks the runway there? Every time he took off, I came here to see him flying into the sky. Over time, I became accustomed. Habits are bad, You will feel uncomfortable if you break them.”

“So you being a flight attendant also has something to do with your sister?”

Shen Yao nodded. "No. I also want to entertain myself by traveling. You know how much I don't like coming home? Because I had a pretty big conflict with my father. That night, when I saw Xu Cheng willing to donate time and money to the family he had just met, I was deeply moved.”

“I saw both of your files.” Ran Jing slowly said, “Your father is quite famous, and it is no secret that he married a new woman. Your personality change also has something to do with this, right?”

Shen Yao leaned against the sofa, looked at the ceiling, and nodded. “To be honest, we were poor when we were kids, so I'm not like the rich second generation heirs who are rich and treated like royalty since they were born. During that time, my mother and she worked day and night and fought and created the big business we have today, but she abandoned her love for my mother and married another woman after she died. If he paid more attention to educating me and my sister than to teasing his young wife, then my brother would not take the rebellious path and never return. In my eyes, this so-called family has long lost its meaning to me.”

He looked out the window, saw an airplane flying across the sky, and said, “Only my brother understands me, and only this place can give me peace. Whenever I'm not on duty, I come here and see the plane passing by.”

Ran Jing slowly said, “Then, at least you had a loving family before. I did some research on Xu Cheng and found that he was raised only by his father who later died in an accident when Xu Cheng was still in junior high school. In fact, she lacks family love, especially motherly love. Maybe that's what touched her heart and convinced her to help the family at the hospital.”

Shen Yao's eyes became slightly watery; she was slightly surprised by how difficult Xu Cheng's childhood was.

Ran Jing smiled faintly and continued, “At first, I didn't like Xu Cheng either because he wasn't a pleasant man at all. However, after I researched his background, I became calmer. Maybe she actually feels alone, and her current personality is due to her childhood.”

Shen Yao pouted and looked at Ran Jing. “You'd better go and be a detective and stop being a criminal police officer. Let me tell you, from a psychological point of view, a woman who becomes curious about a man often signals the beginning of a beautiful relationship, and from the current point of view, a woman who becomes curious about a man, You've been curious about Xu Cheng.

Ran Jing laughed flatly. “You should also stop being a flight attendant and become a relationship consultant.”

“Sure, I will charge by the hour. Let me analyze it for you, it will be very difficult if you fall in love with a man like Xu Cheng. He will not take the initiative to know more about you or comfort you, and that is why I say he is destined to be alone forever. You can't clap with one hand, and you also need two people working together to have a good relationship. If you're in love with her, then you're done. You will chase him forever, but his heart will never be yours.”

Ran Jing started laughing. “Shen Yao, why do I feel Xu Cheng looks more like your type?”

Shen Yao paused for a moment. "What do you mean?"

Ran Jing jokingly said, “Don't you always claim that you can make any man fall in love with you? Then why don't you try and make Xu Cheng fall in love with you, if you are able to? Aren't you going to feel such a great achievement that you're going to make a man like Xu Cheng fall in love with you?”

Shen Yao flicked her thin eyelashes. “What you say makes sense, but I don't see it as a challenge at all.”

Ran Jing stood up and left after leaving a mocking smile.

Shen Yao could not digest that smile at all, and she immediately stood up and said, “Look at it, I will have Xu Cheng propose to me in front of this building and in front of the crowd.”

Ran Jing: “When?”

Shen Yao: “In a month!”

Ran Jing curiously asked her, “If she really proposed, would you agree?

Shen Yao arrogantly replied with just one word, “Never.”

In fact, in the years that followed, Shen Yao deeply missed Xu Cheng for actually proposing to him. But of course that's the next story.
