Foras long as Se Cai could remember, Zhang Xin Yu presented herselfprofessionally. She was all sharp angles.
Unlessnecessary, she would not waste her time on casual conversation, a typical icequeen.
Itthus came as a complete surprise that under that frozen exterior hid a youngmaiden’s heart. Who would have thought?!
Toborrow a common term, she had a mature appearance but a loli’s heart!
“s.h.i.t,what am I thinking? This is not a person that I can mess with!”
SeCai finally came to his senses.
Aspreviously mentioned, County S Tv Station’s Zhang Xin Yu had many admirers. Onesuch evidence was the red Honda Z4 that was abandoned by the side of thestation building.
Accordingto rumors, the car was gift from a famous rich man’s son that wanted to wooZhang Xin Yu.
Theanchorwoman though was unmoved.
Sinceit would be too shameful to take the car back, the man left it by the station,exposed to the elements. Every time Se Cai pa.s.sed it, his eyes couldn’t helpbut linger. Such a waste, he would think to himself.
SeCai didn’t hear the door open.
Se Cairelied too heavily on his newly enhanced senses to tell him of approachingpeople but he failed to prepare for the closed-in environments of the dubbingstudio.
Atall woman stood framed by the door, and it was Zhang Xin Yu.
Unfortunatelyfor Se Cai, she had decided to come early that day!
“SeCai, I didn’t expect to see you at work today…”
Xin Yusaid with a shock when she saw Se Cai in her office, but her face quicklymelted into a rare smile. He did save her from a beating after all.
Thesmile though froze on her face when she saw what Se Cai was holding in hishand.
Herhands involuntarily went up to her mouth that was opened in utter shock whenshe realized Se Cai was gripping her bra!
“Wait, this is not what you think!”
Ablanched Se Cai tried desperately to explain.
Hehimself knew how horrible the whole situation looked. If he was someone else,he wouldn’t believe his own explanation either.
“You…Get out of my room!”
Xin Yusaid chillingly.
“Pleaselisten to my explanation. My computer died so I wanted to borrow yours for ause but I accidentally sat on your make-up and that led me to discover yoursuit…”
Se Caiexplained hurriedly.
Xin Yustalked over to grab her bra away from Se Cai.
“Whowould believe such nonsense? I saw you fondling my bra with my own eyes…”
Xin Yuaccused as icily as she could but a faint blush still crept to her face.
She waswearing a faded pink t-shirt that day and it showed off her figure nicely. Whoknew she would be so… s.e.xy when she’s animated, Se Cai’s male brain couldn’thelp but notice.
No wonder there was so many people interestedin her. Se Cai even heard from Director Bai that a rich tyc.o.o.n had signed alucrative advertis.e.m.e.nt contract with the tv station just to have dinner withXin Yu.
Then,he remembered there were other people with mal-intention that were pursuing XinYu as well.
Hesaid, “Right, I meant to tell you, the people from Blue Sky Rehab intents tomean you harm so you better be careful…”
“Stopsticking your hands in my business. Leave or I’ll call security!”
Xin Yuinterjected angrily.
Se Caiclammed up and scurried out of her room.
“F*ck,why did I think I could use her office? What to do now?”
Se Caitormented himself when he returned to his desk.
Hisworking relationship with Zhang Xin Yu was starting to warm since he saved herbut now he had become a bra thief.
Thingswere sure to be awkward in the office.
He wastoo tortured to notice Director Bai picked up the hotline and rushed over afterjotting some things vigorously down in his memo.
“Se Cai…where’s the other reporters?”
DirectorBai frowned as he surveyed the almost empty newsroom.
“Everyone’sout on field a.s.signment. The last one to leave was Xu Ran, half an hour ago.”
Se Caisnuck a look at the clock, it was already half past nine, no wonder there wasn’tanyone left.
“Then,there’s no other choice but to depend on you. A citizen just called the hotlineto report a jumper at the commercial building…”
Hai Donglooked at Se Cai pleadingly, “I know I’ve said you could stay in today butcould you please do me this favor? There’s really no one else available now.”
Se Caishot up in his seat, b.u.mping the front of his chest with his fist, he said, “Leaveit to me, Director Bai. This is my responsibility after all!”
CountyS was a relatively peaceful county so most of their news was about jaywalking,community events and the likes.
Suicideby jumping was huge! It should have no problem being tonight’s lead news.
“Likelast time, this should nab me 10 News Point… That’s not an amount to scoff at,it’ll get me that much closer to trading that second item.”
The thoughtof earning News Point breathed life into Se Cai, it had even pushed the memoryof the earlier awkward encounter out of his mind.
“Alright,remember this phone number. I’ll get the driver’s crew to hail you a cab soplease get to the scene fast. Of course, Xiao Se since this is the first timeyou’re covering something this scale, I’ll get a second reporter to come aidyou as soon as possible…”
DirectorBai said with some hesitation.
Hishesitation was well-founded because Se Cai was at the station for only a year,news this scale should go to a more experienced reporter. However, there was noone else readily available and news like this depended on timeliness.
He hadno choice but to trust Se Cai.
Se Cainodded in quick succession before leaving with his camera equipment.
He feltstrangely calm.
It wasjust a suicide a.s.signment, wasn’t it? He only needed a few good pictures fromthe actual scene to complete a piece of worthy news!
