What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

at last.

With a very faint "sizzle" sound, the stubborn zipper head finally overcame the obstacle and smoothly pulled to the top.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

That feeling was even more liberating than finishing the last math problem in the college entrance exam back then.

He released his grip, took a half-step back, and looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

My forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and the back of my shirt was soaked with sweat, sticking to my body uncomfortably.

This isn't a zipper.

This is practically defusing a bomb.

If he were to tremble even slightly and touch that delicate skin, or tear that precious dress, Su Feiyan would probably kill him on the spot.

"Alright, Mr. Su."

Lu Li raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his voice a little weak.

"The engineering is perfect, the fit is flawless. I admire my own hands. It's a loss to the medical community that I didn't become a surgeon."

Su Feiyan didn't speak.

She stood there, not turning around immediately.

There was a full-length mirror in the dressing room, facing the two of them.

Su Feiyan raised her head slightly, her gaze falling on the mirror.

The woman in the mirror was wearing a black fishtail dress, her figure graceful. Her originally open back was now covered in black velvet, but because of the extremely fitted cut, it only accentuated her breathtaking waist-to-hip ratio.

The man was standing half a step behind her.

He wore a white suit and had a tall, straight figure. Although he had a silly grin on his face, which seemed to indicate he had survived a close call, he was undeniably handsome.

The two figures overlapped in the mirror.

Black and white.

Cold and elegant, yet clear and bright.

There was an indescribable sense of harmony between them, as if they were... a match made in heaven.

Looking at the image in the mirror, Su Feiyan's initial agitation caused by the zipper getting stuck gradually subsided.

She saw Lu Li's eyes through the mirror.

The guy was staring at her back.

His eyes were fixed on her, and although he had said he didn't dare to look, he was actually looking quite a bit now.

[Tsk tsk tsk.]

It's finished.

But that back view... it's absolutely stunning.

Lu Li sighed inwardly, his gaze as if he were admiring a rare treasure.

I didn't dare look closely when I was zipping up the zipper, but now that I see it, the lines and curves... it's like God sculpted it when he was in a good mood!

[Especially that dimple in my lower back; it's so deep you could just slip a cherry in there.]

[And this skin, so white and smooth, like it's been waxed.]

Lu Li swallowed hard, his mind racing.

I wish I could shrink.

I'm going to build an amusement park on this back.

[Sliding down from your shoulders all the way to your lower back—that's absolutely the world's best slide experience.]

[If only we could add some lubricant... cough cough, stop, stop, or it won't pass censorship.]

[But this really makes you want to commit a crime! No wonder those incompetent emperors in ancient times didn't hold court in the mornings. With such a bewitching woman by their side, who the hell would want to go to work?]

Su Feiyan paused, her hand, which was adjusting the hem of her skirt, in mid-air.

The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably twice.

Slide?

An amusement park?

Is this guy's brain structure different from a normal person's?

What did they take her back for? A children's playground?

If it were in the past, upon hearing such frivolous thoughts, she would definitely have made Lu Li understand why the flowers were so red.

But oddly enough.

Hearing these absurd metaphors now, she didn't feel angry at all.

instead……

There was a kind of secret joy that I couldn't quite explain.

It felt like getting a perfect score on a test when you were a kid. You pretended not to care, but secretly you wanted to show off your test paper to the whole class.

It seems that going to the gym to work out my back these past few days has been effective.

At least it silenced the picky salted fish.

Su Feiyan looked at Lu Li's infatuated expression in the mirror and her mood inexplicably improved.

She tidied her hair and then slowly turned around.

The changing room was already small.

The two of them were fine when they were standing one in front of the other, but now that they are standing face to face, the distance between them has been reduced to almost nothing.

Lu Li felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

The light didn't go out.

Su Feiyan's magnified face was right in front of them.

The distance between the two was only about ten centimeters.

Lu Li was so close that he could clearly count how many long eyelashes Su Feiyan had.

He was so close that he could smell the faint scent of mints in Su Feiyan's breath.

Even more deadly is...

Shift your gaze down slightly.

It was that patch of snow-white skin beneath the deep V-neck.

The impact was too strong.

Lu Li felt a warm current stirring in his nasal cavity, so he quickly tilted his head back and stared at the spotlight on the ceiling with a shifty gaze.

"Mr. Su... Mr. Su."

Lu Li stammered, shrinking back until his back pressed against the cold wall.

"Could you... could you say hello before you turn around?"

"You scared me!"

Su Feiyan did not retreat.

Instead, it took a step closer.

The toes of her high heels almost touched Lu Li's leather shoes.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Lu Li's flustered appearance, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

Weren't you quite eloquent in your mind just now?

And there's a slide.

Now that we're facing each other in a real fight, why are you acting like a coward?

"What's wrong?"

Su Feiyan's voice was very soft, with a touch of languor and hoarseness that was rare for her.

"Afraid I'll eat you up?"

Lu Li chuckled twice, placed his hands on the seams of his trousers, and stood more primally than someone in a military parade.

"No way."

"You're the boss, I'm the employee. You're doing me a favor by eating here."

"But this is happening outside, and if someone sees it, it won't be good for your reputation."

Help!

What is this woman trying to do?

[Put me against the wall?]

[Even though I'm a guy, isn't this plot a bit off? Did they get the wrong script?]

[And this is way too close!]

[I don't think that's a deep V-neck at all, it's an abyss!]

Just one more look, just one more look, and I'll die from a nosebleed.

In Lu Li's mind, alarm bells rang loudly.

This is not only a test of vision, but also a challenge to the limits of physiology.

Especially his so-called "steel kidney," which has become excessively sensitive lately, and he wants to rebel at the slightest provocation.

Hearing the panicked thoughts in her voice, Su Feiyan's smile deepened.

She stretched out a hand.

Long, slender fingers gently rested on Lu Li's shoulder, the fingertips slowly sliding down the collar of his white suit.

The movements are so slow it's agonizing.

At last.

Her fingers stopped on the pocket square on Lu Li's chest and gently fiddled with it.

"Just now……"

Su Feiyan spoke, her eyes fixed on Lu Li's eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Li's heart skipped a few beats, as if it were about to jump out of his throat.

"No... I didn't see anything."

"I'm just checking if the zipper is zipped up properly and how the quality is."

"Our Su Group is meticulous in its work, and I'm here to oversee things for you."

Su Feiyan gave a soft snort.

They obviously don't believe this nonsense.

"Yeah?"

She leaned forward, her warm breath brushing against Lu Li's chin.

"So what do you think...?"

"Is it pretty?"

This is a question that could cost you your life.

Lu Li's brain was working at lightning speed.

Saying it's not good-looking? That's absolutely asking for trouble; you'd probably get your salary docked until the next century.

Saying it looks good? Wouldn't that seem too sleazy? Too frivolous?

【Looks good my foot.】

Is "beautiful" enough to describe it?

That's a monster!

That's a source of trouble!

That's a poison that makes you want to give your life for it at first sight!

Lu Li roared inwardly.

But on the surface, he still had to maintain the persona of that cowardly assistant.

The system suddenly made a "ding" sound in his mind.

[Temporary mission triggered: Please retaliate against Su Feiyan's provocation.]

[Task requirement: Use cheesy pickup lines to make Su Feiyan blush.]

[Reward: Lifespan +3 days, Cash +10000 Yuan.]

[Failure Penalty: Burp for ten minutes on the spot.]

Lu Li's face turned green.

This system is lousy.

Why did they have to cause trouble at this crucial moment?

Still using cheesy pickup lines?

Do you think the current atmosphere is suitable for saying cheesy pickup lines?

If things go wrong, Su Feiyan might slap me across the face, and then it won't just be a matter of blushing, it will be a matter of a swollen face.

But that penalty for failure...

If he were to hiccup for ten minutes straight in front of Su Feiyan right now, the sheer level of embarrassment would be worse than being thrown into the Huangpu River.

Lu Li gritted his teeth.

We'll give it our all.

People die for money, birds die for food. For that ten thousand yuan... no, for those three days of life, I'll risk everything.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart.

His previously wandering gaze suddenly became fixed, staring directly at Su Feiyan.

His eyes became incredibly affectionate.

It was even a kind of greasy sentimentality.

"President Su."

Lu Li's voice suddenly deepened, carrying a slightly affected magnetism.

Su Feiyan was stunned for a moment.

Why did this guy suddenly change his expression?

Just a moment ago it was like a frightened rabbit, but now it's suddenly turned into... a big bad wolf?

"What?" she asked instinctively.

Lu Li didn't speak.

Instead, he reached out and boldly grabbed Su Feiyan's hand that was resting on his chest.

It feels soft and warm to the touch.

Su Feiyan's fingers trembled slightly as she tried to pull them back, but Lu Li held them tightly.

"nice."

Lu Li looked into her eyes and said, word by word.

"It looks so good... I want to get a tattoo."

Su Feiyan was stunned.

Isn't this topic jumping a bit too fast?

Why did we suddenly start talking about tattoos?

"Tattoo?"

She frowned, giving him a look as if he were an idiot.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Why would you get a tattoo out of the blue? Company policy prohibits employees from having large tattoos. Do you want to get fired?"

Lu Li shook his head.

His expression remained affectionate, and he even went so far as to move closer to Su Feiyan.

Their noses almost touched.

"I don't get any other tattoos."

Lu Li said softly.

"I just want to have your name tattooed on my back."

Su Feiyan still didn't react.

What kind of operation is this?

Showing loyalty?

That's so outdated!

These days, gangsters don't use that kind of stunt anymore.

"Why?" Su Feiyan asked instinctively, "Because you feel that I'm your boss, and you have to bear that burden all the time?"

Lu Li's lips curled into a wicked and arrogant smile (in his own opinion).

He slowly opened his mouth and uttered the line that even the system felt ashamed of.

"because……"

"Because I want to be your..."

"Person, skin, back, bag."

The air freezes.

A deathly silence.

The air conditioner in the locker room was blowing hard, but it couldn't dispel the awkward atmosphere.

Su Feiyan's expression froze.

She stared at Lu Li, her eyes widening.

Human skin backpack?

What kind of ghostly love talk is this?

Is this a horror story?

The image of Lu Li with the three large characters "Su Feiyan" tattooed on her back, then being made into a backpack and carried on her body, flashed through her mind...

A chill ran down my spine.

I got goosebumps all over.

But then...

When she saw the tension hidden in Lu Li's eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembling slightly as he tried to suppress a laugh.

She suddenly realized what was happening.

This guy is flirting with her.

Although the method is crude, the content is terrifying, and even a bit perverted.

But that overwhelming, clumsy attempt to please her truly struck her heart.

No one had ever said such a thing to her before.

The men surrounding her were either discussing business, ideals, or praising her beauty and competence.

They all looked like mannequins wearing masks.

Only Lu Li.

That bastard.

He always manages to break through her layers of cold defenses in ways that are both funny and exasperating.

A surge of heat rose up from the base of my neck.

It quickly spread to the cheeks and then to the ears.

Su Feiyan felt her face was so hot she could fry an egg on it.

She wanted to swear.

I'm thinking, are you sick?

I want to kick this guy who talks nonsense out of the house.

But when he opened his mouth, he found his throat was dry and he couldn't say anything.

even.

The shyness after being teased and the slight, secret excitement caused her originally strong aura to collapse instantly.

She is no longer the aloof female CEO.

It's like a little girl whose secret has been exposed.

"you……"

Su Feiyan struggled for a long time, but only managed to utter one word.

The voice was soft and weak, lacking any intimidating power.

Looking at Su Feiyan's face, which was as red as a ripe apple, Lu Li finally felt relieved.

It's done!

[The system wasn't lying; cheesy pickup lines really are a surefire way to pick up girls.]

Although this love confession is a bit heavy-handed, it's incredibly effective.

Look how red her face is, like a monkey's bottom... no, like the sunset, so beautiful.

Lu Li released Su Feiyan's hand and raised an eyebrow with a hint of smugness.

"How is it, Mr. Su?"

"Would you like to consider this suggestion?"

"I don't charge any fees; this is a free endorsement."

Su Feiyan bit her lip and glared at him fiercely.

That one glance was so captivating, so shimmering, that it made Lu Li's heart flutter.

"roll."

Su Feiyan cursed.

"Who wants a backpack made of human skin like yours?"

"I'm not afraid of having nightmares in the middle of the night."

Although she was cursing, she didn't back down at all.

Instead, as if he had lost all his strength, he leaned forward a little.

Her forehead was almost touching Lu Li's shoulder.

This posture.

Rather than a standoff, it was more like... a cuddling.

Lu Li was stiff all over and dared not move.

He could feel the softness of Su Feiyan's body, and the indescribable emotion that was conveyed to her in that instant.

An ambiguous atmosphere fermented in the cramped changing room.

It's like boiling sugar water, bubbling and bubbling, sickeningly sweet.

Su Feiyan closed her eyes.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

What is she waiting for?

She herself didn't know.

Perhaps they were waiting for Lu Li to say something even more outrageous to break the awkward silence.

Maybe……

They're hoping for something else.

For example, a hug.

or……
