To please others? It's better to please yourself.

After watching Shen He leave, Xu Jing'an went straight home without lingering. After tidying up, she transformed herself back into one of the countless ordinary workers.

Upon returning to work on the 27th, I presented Wu Sufeng with the red scarf I had bought as a wedding gift. Wu Sufeng was overjoyed to receive it.

During lunch, Sister Zhao quietly came over: "Xiao Xu, meet me at Chaoyang Park at 10 am on Saturday the 29th. There's also a movie ticket; don't forget!"

"I'll never forget you, Sister Zhao," Xu Jing'an replied.

Step 3: Utilizing Environmental Factors

In psychology, there are three terms related to love that tell us that in these three environments, it is easier to win the favor of love.

The "suspension bridge effect" tells us that it is easier to pursue love in a heart-pounding environment; the "ski resort magic effect" tells us that it is easier to fall in love at first sight in a ski resort; and the "darkness effect" tells us that it is easier for couples to close their psychological distance in a dark environment.

On the 29th, her makeup remained the same, but her hairstyle changed to two braids, and she still let her baby hair fall down in front of her forehead. She wore a black sweater underneath a green imitation military uniform and liberation shoes.

This time, I applied the "Youthful Days" perfume balm from the Fragrance Collection. It's a little sweet and smells a bit like Safeguard pomegranate soap! It's sweet with a soap and tea scent, and it's especially refreshing.

She slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed towards Chaoyang Park. After waiting for an hour without seeing anyone, Xu Jing'an turned and left the park, eating an orange-flavored hard candy as she walked towards the movie theater behind it.

Just as she reached the corner, someone suddenly rushed out from inside. With a loud "thud," she felt a powerful impact, making her dizzy and causing her body to fall backward uncontrollably.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry. Miss, are you alright?" The other person pulled her back and asked anxiously. "I was in a hurry, that's why I ran so fast, I didn't notice anyone."

"Ah, don't move, you've caught my hair!" Xu Jing'an tilted her head, pressing her hand against her aching scalp, and had no choice but to shout.

Just as I untied my hair, I heard footsteps approaching from a distance. "Quick! He just ran past here!"

The other person was breathing rapidly, and Xu Jing'an was startled and instinctively looked up at them. Their eyes met, and they both froze for a moment.

Shen He quickly grabbed her and ran towards a narrow passageway. The passageway was already dark, and the narrow passageway was even darker. The narrow passageway was only 30 centimeters wide, and there was a corner big enough for two people to stand in. The two of them squeezed together sideways inside.

"Where is he?" "I clearly saw him run away from here, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye." "Search carefully! I refuse to believe he can fly away!"

Hearing what the people outside were saying, Xu Jing'an held her breath, her heart pounding in her throat.

People came and went outside several times. The two stood face to face, not daring to make a sound, and could feel the hot breath exhaled from the other side.

"Let's go! Let's retreat first and look elsewhere."

After the man left, neither of them moved. Sure enough, about ten minutes later, they returned. "Looks like he really wasn't there. Bah! He got away." And with that, the group of people left again.

The two men dared not move and continued to endure. Thirty minutes later, the group returned. "Boss, still haven't found it."

"Have our men cordon off the area, then wait a bit longer." "Yes, boss!"

The danger had temporarily passed. "When can we get out?" Xu Jing'an asked quietly.

"Wait a little longer," Shen He replied softly.

Silence fell again. Time ticked by, and Xu Jing'an felt her legs go numb. She tried to move them, but every time she did, her legs collided with Shen He's. Xu Jing'an was incredibly embarrassed.

Shen He originally came to meet his girlfriend today, although he hesitated and declined after hearing the proposal. However, his mother had already spoken with his aunt, and since the girl was already here, he felt obligated to come and meet her regardless of whether the relationship developed or not.

Who would have thought he'd have to work overtime today? He rushed, trying to take a shortcut through a back alley, only to stumble upon an underground transaction. A group of people against him—could he possibly stay put?

In my haste, I bumped into a girl I'd seen a few days ago. There was no time to run away, and leaving her alone was even worse! Without thinking, I grabbed her and hid.

The two were now standing face to face, almost touching each other with the slightest movement. Shen He could sense the girl's nervousness and unease.

In the darkness, his senses of smell, hearing, and perception were amplified. The girl opposite him emanated a scent different from the jasmine fragrance he'd smelled before; it was a sweet scent of soap and tea. He could even smell the sweet scent of oranges in her breath.

Xu Jing'an had never felt time pass so slowly. She heard Shen He's breathing becoming more and more rapid, and his heartbeat growing louder and louder. She subconsciously wanted to back away, but as soon as she moved, she bumped into him again, which startled her so much that she froze.

The sound of swallowing was clearly audible.

Shen He suddenly realized: although he couldn't see the girl's face clearly in his dream, he was now absolutely certain that she was the girl opposite him.

Countless thoughts raced through his mind, but he could only suppress them. Even if he wanted to pursue this girl, he needed to leave this place first, not now. Any words he uttered at this moment would be manipulative and an act of bullying.

In this situation, if he were to ask, regardless of the girl's willingness or her true feelings, it would be difficult for her to refuse. He is a man who, like all males, wants to pursue the girl he likes, and will desperately try to showcase his advantages, using every method and means at his disposal to win her over.

But more importantly, he was a police officer, a police officer who served the people. He had to be worthy of the uniform he wore and true to his conscience. The people he genuinely wanted to serve were not his enemies.

Besides, he has his own pride. He has a good job, a good family background, and is good-looking. Why can't he openly and honestly pursue the girl he likes?

Thinking about this, his heart gradually calmed down.

It was already afternoon when the two left.

Shen He decided to make another trip to the park. Even though it was late and there was a high chance the other person wasn't there, he still had to go check. What if they were still waiting for him?

The weather was getting colder, and after standing outside for so long, Xu Jing'an felt that her nose was not very clear, so she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her nose.

Shen He watched as the girl unknowingly dropped something from her pocket, bent down to pick it up, and glanced at it subconsciously. Hmm? Wasn't this right next to his movie ticket seat?

He felt an overwhelming sense of joy.

Didn't I tell Mom I refused today's blind date? How could that be! He was born specifically for the girl in front of him.

Isn't confessing your love today considered bullying? Screw that! He's just a male peacock courting a mate.

"Comrade, are you Xu Jing'an?" Shen He asked, looking at the girl opposite him.

"Yes, that's me. And you are?"

"I am Shen He, your blind date today."

Xu Jing'an looked at the other person in surprise. "You ran so fast just to see me?"

"Yes, I didn't expect to be late due to working overtime and keep you waiting." Shen He replied with a smile, revealing his snow-white teeth.

"We've met now, no matter what," Xu Jing'an thought for a moment, "So, what about now?"

Shen He continued, "Let's eat something now and watch a movie." As he spoke, he took out another movie ticket from his pocket.

A beautiful romance begins from day one.
