NOVPUBJiang Li’s cheeks instantly flushed a shade of crimson as she glared at Chen Nan with feigned annoyance, "You jerk, what are you talking about! I just... just want to take a walk by the lake."
"In case you drown, I could intervene in time to prevent you from dying!"
Chen Nan’s lips curled slightly upward, his eyes filled with teasing, "If I really were to drown and lose consciousness, would you give me CPR?"
Jiang Li’s face brimmed with pride, "I always repay my debts. You have saved my life twice before; how could I just watch you die?"
"Then let’s go!"
Chen Nan smiled in agreement, then greeted Zhao Xing and headed with Jiang Li towards the lake at the eastern side of the village.
The night breeze was cool and refreshing.
It made one feel rejuvenated.
This natural cool air was nothing like the cold blast from air conditioners.
The countryside at night was very quiet. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
There was no noise of bustling traffic.
In the night sky, stars twinkled like gemstones, radiating mysterious light.
The vast expanse of the heavens seemed like a giant velvet curtain dotted with countless shining pearls.
The Milky Way was like a silver ribbon stretching across the sky, casting a dreamy glow.
This kind of sight was unattainable in the city.
The surrounding sounds of insects rose and fell like a grand concert.
Especially when a few fireflies flew past in front of her, Jiang Li displayed a shocked expression, then sighed, "It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced a night like this."
Chen Nan nodded slightly, "It’s indeed rare in the city."
The two followed the winding road to the lake on the east side of the village.
The calm surface of the lake was like a large mirror, reflecting the dazzling starry sky, blurring the lines between the sky and the water.
Chen Nan removed his robe and hurried into the lake bare-skinned.
"Chen Nan, males and females should avoid improper appearances; could you please maintain some decorum?" Jiang Li, her face and ears blushing, quickly turned her back, her heart thumping uncontrollably like a little deer.
"When have I not been proper?" Chen Nan said, his face flushed with embarrassment, "Besides, when I was hospitalized, didn’t you help me to the bathroom and even assist me in masturbating..."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Li, blushing, scolded, "Don’t mention that, or I’ll ignore you."
Even she didn’t know why she had helped Chen Nan with that act back then.
Every time she thought about it, she felt her face and ears turn red.
Now, Chen Nan mentioning the past only intensified her embarrassment, making her wish she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
Chen Nan wisely shut his mouth, then scrubbed his body in the shallow water.
Having helped the Zhao family search for a burial site in the mountains today, he had sweated profusely; now, entering the lake, he felt incredibly comfortable.
Jiang Li’s voice revealed a hint of bashfulness, "Turn around; I’m going to bathe as well."
She was naturally a clean girl, let alone having traversed mountains and been bitten by a venomous snake, lying on the grass for a long while; if not for these, she wouldn’t have followed Chen Nan to bathe in the lake.
"Alright."
Chen Nan turned around, his back to Jiang Li.
Even if he didn’t turn around, he wouldn’t harbor any improper thoughts towards Jiang Li.
Because he really didn’t like Wangzai mini buns.
Of course.
Jiang Li was a comrade-in-arms fighting alongside him in his heart.
He didn’t want to destroy this pure friendship!
The next moment.
Chen Nan felt ripples coming from the lake, and when he turned his head, Jiang Li had already entered the water, swimming freely in the lake, her body agile, which made Chen Nan very envious.
Jiang Li stopped several meters away, curiously looking at Chen Nan, "Chen, why are you staying at the shore and not coming in?"
Chen Nan said somewhat awkwardly, "I’m a landlubber, I can’t swim!"
Jiang Li’s face showed shock, obviously not expecting the all-capable Chen Nan to be a landlubber. Thinking of this, Officer Jiang’s face showed a mischievous smile, "Do you want me to teach you how to swim?"
Chen Nan was about to speak when he heard Jiang Li scream, and then she quickly swam up to him and hugged him tightly, her eyes filled with terror, "There’s something in the water, I just felt something touch my foot."
Chen Nan immediately looked towards the area she had been in, although the visibility was dim, but after the "Purification," his vision had drastically improved.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said softly, "Don’t worry, it’s just a harmless water snake."
"Why are there snakes everywhere at Zhao Family’s village?" Jiang Li, pale with fear, although it was a harmless water snake, was still terrified out of her wits and deeply frightened afterward.
This also confirmed the old saying, "Once bitten, twice shy."
Chen Nan chuckled, "The countryside has a good ecosystem, it’s natural to have some snakes and rodents." Upon saying this, he cleared his throat, hardly able to resist saying, "Officer Jiang, could you let go of me now?"
Jiang Li’s pupils suddenly trembled, then realizing their intimate posture.
In an instant.
Her face flushed with a shy blush, she said irritably, "It’s your honor that I’m hugging you, aren’t you happy about it?"
Chen Nan gave a sheepish smile, "It’s not that I’m not happy, just feels a bit too close for comfort!"
Jiang Li’s expression instantly froze, then the hurt tears appeared in her starry and vibrant eyes, and she pushed Chen Nan away, sobbing, "Chen, you’ve gone too far."
Seeing the tears flickering in her eyes, Chen Nan’s pupils trembled intensely, never expecting Jiang Li to get angry. Without a moment’s delay, he quickly said, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was just joking."
Jiang Li snorted, "Is that joke funny?"
"I was wrong," Chen Nan said sincerely.
He had known since he was a child the importance of taking a beating properly.
His apology at this moment was very genuine.
Jiang Li, still huffy, turned away, wiping the tears from her face, her voice choked, "I know I’m not well-endowed, and many people around me might not say it, but they look down on me too, but you didn’t have to shame me like that!"
"I was wrong," Chen Nan also realized how deeply his previous joke had hurt Jiang Li, feeling deeply remorseful in his heart.
"I offer you my deepest apologies for my disrespectful words just now, whether you hit or scold me, I am willing to accept it without any complaints," he said.
Jiang Li stopped sobbing, she turned and looked at Chen Nan, her voice cold, "Do you really know you were wrong?"
Chen Nan nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken.
Jiang Li continued, "So does that mean you won’t refuse anything I ask you to do?"
Chen Nan instinctively nodded, then quickly added, "As long as it doesn’t break the law or morals, I can agree to it."
Jiang Li snorted, "I’m a police officer, how could I make you do something illegal or immoral?"
Chen Nan, "Then tell me, whatever you ask me to do, I will agree."
Jiang Li hesitated a bit, then mustered up the courage, "I want you to help me enhance my chest, do you agree?"
