Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

She raised her hand to brush her hair aside, her arm brushing past Ding Heng, leaving behind a faint fragrance.

"Ding Heng, are you free tonight? I just bought a new bottle of wine, and it's no fun drinking alone."

Hua Qing's face darkened completely.

She stopped and turned to face Lin Man, speaking clearly, "He has something to do tonight."

Lin Man blinked, looking completely innocent: "Captain, I didn't ask you."

Hua Qing's eyes were sharp, and something seemed to be churning in her chest.

Ding Heng finally spoke: "Lin Man, that's enough."

Lin Man smiled charmingly: "What, Ding Heng, do you find me annoying?"

Ding Heng didn't speak, but simply gazed at her calmly.

Lin Man met Ding Heng's gaze, and her heart inexplicably tightened.

Ding Heng turned to Hua Qing: "Senior, wait for me."

After saying that, he grabbed Lin Man's wrist and strode towards the fire escape.

Lin Man stumbled as he pulled her, her high heels clicking rapidly on the ground.

Bai Ma's eyes widened, and she almost blurted out "Holy crap!"

Hua Qing stood there, stunned, watching the fire escape door close, her expression incredibly complex.

The fire escape was quiet, with only the soft breathing of two people.

Ding Heng suddenly exerted force, pressing Lin Man directly against the wall, one hand propped up beside her ear, looking down at her.

Lin Man's back was pressed against the cold wall, her heart was racing, but she still managed a smile.

"Ding Heng, what are you doing? Why are you being so rough..."

"Did you go too far today?"

Ding Heng's tone was flat, but Lin Man detected a hint of anger in it.

She blinked, trying to maintain that alluring demeanor: "Didn't we agree? You help me disgust Hua Qing, and I'll give you..."

"enough."

Ding Heng interrupted her, grabbing her chin with one hand and forcing her to look up at him.

Lin Man's words stuck in her throat.

Ding Heng's hand slid from her chin to her neck, his thumb pressing on her Adam's apple. The pressure wasn't heavy, but it was enough to make her feel threatened.

"Lin Man, haven't I told you before that you must do whatever I say?"

Lin Man's breathing became rapid.

During this time, Ding Heng suddenly stopped their "little games" and stopped responding to her messages. If it weren't for the chance encounter today, she would have almost forgotten about it.

The moment she saw Hua Qing again, the urge to deliberately provoke and disgust her surged up in her heart once more.

She assumed Ding Heng would cooperate as usual, but unexpectedly received a warning from the man at the end...

Lin Man was very unhappy and resentful.

Who do you think you are, Ding Heng? Do you expect me to do whatever you say?!

"you……"

"Shut up!"

Just as Lin Man was about to speak, Ding Heng sternly stopped her!

The man's hand slid from her neck to her collarbone, his fingertips brushing against the newly bought necklace, then continued downwards, his fingertips hooking the collar of her coat and gently pulling it outwards.

The sound of fabric rubbing together was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

Lin Man's body began to tremble.

I don't know whether to feel excited or scared.

"We're just business partners, don't go too far..."

She finally spoke, her voice trembling with tension.

Ding Heng's fingers stopped below Lin Man's collarbone, neither moving downwards nor withdrawing.

He took another step forward, his breath brushing against Lin Man's ear, his voice seemingly full of magic.

"You and Hua Qing are just ordinary classmates. You should let go of the conflicts from the past, okay?"

Lin Man can no longer increase Hua Qing's emotional connection, so she has no further use to Ding Heng.

Let's just stop giving Lin Man the psychological suggestion, so she won't bother Hua Qing anymore...

Lin Man stood frozen in place, motionless.

Ding Heng stepped back and released his grip, his face returning to its lazy expression, as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go back."

He turned and pushed open the door to the fire escape. Light flooded in, making Lin Man squint.

She leaned against the wall and it took her a while to recover.

My legs feel a little weak.

My heart is still beating very fast.

She glanced down at herself; her coat collar was slightly open, her necklace was askew, and her hair was a little messy.

She raised her hand to straighten her collar, adjusted her necklace, took a deep breath, and tried her best to look normal.

What just happened?

Although Ding Heng was assertive in the past, he never made her feel... dangerous.

Lin Man kept recalling the man's gaze from just now.

Calm, indifferent, as if looking at something that has lost its appeal.

The fire escape door reopened, and Lin Man walked out.

Baima jogged over: "Sister Man! Why is your face so red?"

Lin Man raised her hand to touch her face; it was indeed a little hot.

"It's okay, it's just a bit stuffy inside."

"is it?"

Ding Heng and Sister Man stayed in the fire escape for so long, and when they came out, Sister Man looked like this...

Bai Ma clicked her tongue twice in her mind, but her expression remained innocent and naive: "Sister Man, I'll be staying in Xingcheng from now on. Let's hang out sometime sometime?"

"Yes, of course."

Lin Man temporarily put aside her random thoughts and focused on dealing with the biggest spender of the escort shop in front of her.

But when he turned his head, he saw Hua Qing standing next to Ding Heng, affectionately holding his arm, her posture much more natural than before.

Hua Qing was also looking at her.

The two women's eyes met briefly in mid-air.

Hua Qing's expression remained aloof, revealing no emotion.

But Lin Man clearly saw that she tightened her grip on Ding Heng's hand, as if to assert some kind of sovereignty.

Lin Man looked away and patted Bai Ma's head: "I'm leaving first, you guys have fun."

Bai Ma blinked: "Sister Man, aren't you going shopping anymore?"

"Something happened."

Lin Man waved her hand, turned around and walked towards the mall exit. Her steps were light and natural, showing no sign of anything unusual.

Baima watched Lin Man walk away, then turned back to look at Ding Heng, her eyes filled with curiosity.

She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Brother, what were you and Sister Man doing in the fire escape just now?"

Ding Heng replied calmly, "It's nothing."

Bai Ma pouted, clearly not believing it.

She skipped and hopped over to Hua Qing, taking her arm: "Sister-in-law, where are we going next?"

Hua Qing felt a little uncomfortable being pulled along, but she still went along with her and said, "Let's just wander around."

"Let's check out the trendy items on the sixth floor, I heard a new store just opened!"

Baima linked arms with Huaqing and walked forward, then turned back to make a face at Ding Heng.

Ding Heng followed behind, watching the two figures, one large and one small, ahead of him.

This girl's love of watching a good show is just as good as Zhao Yanxi's.

As Lin Man stepped out of the mall, a cold wind hit her face, causing her to shiver. Her mind was a jumbled mess.

What Ding Heng said and the look in his eyes in the fire escape... something just didn't feel right to her.

She took out her phone to send a message to Ding Heng, her finger hovering above the screen, but she didn't know what to say.

Finally, she put away her phone, got into her silver BMW, as if she had suddenly figured something out.

That's enough for now.

Why should I go to such lengths to disgust Hua Qing, letting a complete stranger take advantage of me!

And if I keep playing like this, I'm afraid I'll get myself into trouble.

but……

I'm so unwilling to accept this!
