Volume 1 Chapter 10: Got Caught Twice In A Single Day

Shen Cangye was busy in the kitchen, stewing a pot of pork rib soup. He was about to taste the soup when Platinum suddenly walked in.

She said, "I had disturbed you a lot this morning, so you wait by the table, I will cook.”

The soup ladle in Shen Cangye's hand suddenly hung in the air. "Hey hey hey, since when did you cook? Just wait quietly, the soup will be done soon.”

Ever since he met this Kuranta girl, she has teased him for hundreds of times and has yet to apologize for any of them, and yet, out of a sudden, she apologized out of nowhere and volunteered to cook for him?

He’s not that easy to fool!

"Come on~ I won’t put anything weird in there." Platinum said cheerfully.

"No, I don't want to take a chance, do you know how many times I've fallen for your trap?" Shen Cangye said irritably. "Come, try the soup, be careful, it's hot."

Platinum bent down, and Shen Cangye offered her the ladle.

"It tastes just right," Platinum licked her lips. "Well, poor little doctor, as an apology for this morning mishap, I'll grant you one request."

"Oh? Any requests?" Shen Cangye raised an eyebrow. "Well then, I have a few things in mind."

Shen Cangye's pleased tone made the Kuranta girl feel inexplicably uneasy.

She quickly added, "Of course, within the limits of the law!"

Thinking about it, the legal limit seemed too low, so Platinum quickly added, "Within the boundaries of what is morally right!"

"Wait a minute, is the mighty assassin Platinum discussing what is morally right with me?" Shen Cangye said leisurely. "What are you afraid of? I'm just a weak scholar with no power. What can I do to you?"

The Knight Assassin seemed to find this reasonable and nodded, "Hmm, you tell me what your request first, then I'll decide."

Shen Cangye put down the ladle, took Platinum's hand, and led her to the living room.

"Here, stand here," Shen Cangye pointed to a wall.

"Why?" Platinum did as she was told, albeit with some suspicion.

Shen Cangye took the guitar down from the wall and slung it over the Kulantara girl's shoulder. "Here, hold the guitar and play a tune."

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Platinum's mouth twitched with a hint of a smile, but her tone tinged with annoyance.

Not knowing what the young doctor in front of her was up to, but she seemed interested in the upcoming development. She casually strummed a chord.

Shen Cangye calmly placed a bowl in front of Platinum and then sat on the sofa opposite her.

"Come on, lift your face a bit, good—" Shen Cangye raised his phone, turned on the camera, "Look, look, look, look, see how low the payment the Assassin of the Armorless Union got? Even a Platinum is forced to perform on the streets to make ends meet!"

Platinum was stunned for two seconds before reacting.

She angrily took off the guitar, took a big step towards the sofa, and tried to snatch her phone.

Shen Cangye didn't dodge, just watched as Platinum knelt on the sofa and tried to grab his phone.

"Hahaha, this scene seems familiar, do you think you'll succeed?" Shen Cangye laughed and pressed the lock button, letting Platinum take his phone.

Silly girl, if you're going to take a candid photo of someone, the first thing you do is lock the screen.

Miss Assassin fiddled with Shen Cangye's phone for a while, but to no avail.

She reluctantly handed the phone back to Shen Cangye, "Delete it quickly, that one looks stupid."

"Yeah, your silly look is quite cute," Shen Cangye lay leisurely on the sofa, took the phone, and put it in his pocket, "I won't delete it. Those assassins who covet your position as Platinum will probably be willing to pay for this embarrassing photo."

Seeing that Shen Cangye was determined to play it cool, Platinum naturally felt unhappy and pounced again to snatch the phone.

The Knight Assassin was kneeling and crawling at the moment, raising her arm as if she were a cat teased by a weed.

Failing to snatch it, Platinum could only try to intimidate, "Don't forget my identity! Give me the phone, or you'll regret it!"

"I'm done playing. Let's eat," Shen Cangye pushed Platinum's shoulder, indicating that she should stop.

But the little Platinum was stubborn, "Give it to me! Otherwise, I'll take action!"

"Good boys don't fight with girls. Get up, I'm going to the kitchen," Shen Cangye patted the knight assassin sitting on him.

"No!"

You little colt—

Shen Cangye was annoyed. He grabbed Platinum's waist with his right hand, exerted a little force, and pressed her onto the leather surface of the sofa.

Before Platinum could react, Shen Cangye had already flipped over and pressed her down.

Shen Cangye held Platinum's arm, pulling it high above the girl's head, his palm wrapping around her wrist, his thumb resting lightly on her palm.

Platinum's body was semi-forced to straighten, her chest lifted high.

Shen Cangye pressed his body down, locking eyes with the Knight Assassin.

He could hear clearly the quickening of Kulantara girl's breath, even the pounding of her heartbeat.

"Come on, you are a Platinum rank Assassin right? Why are you so easily captured?" Shen Cangye squinted at Platinum.

The distance between them was only five centimeters. Platinum's mind went blank, her usual quick-wittedness nowhere to be found. She parted her lips but didn't speak.

What filled her heart was resentment and irritation.

I sincerely apologized to you, and you pulled this on me. The Knight Assassin thought.

"Ah, Doctor Shen—"

The sudden voice made both Shen Cangye and Platinum freeze for a moment, simultaneously turning their gaze to the other corner of the living room.

There stood two people.

Charell, and another intern from the adjacent department—Charell's classmate, another green boy named Dominic.

The situation was a bit awkward.

Two inexperienced students stood in the room of their senior, watching as their senior pinned down a strange girl.

And this senior, just half an hour ago, solemnly declared that his dream was to be married to a sugar mommy.

Shen Cangye's mind also blanked for two seconds.

After internally questioning and answering the philosophical three questions of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" he suddenly jumped up from Platinum.

"No, how did you guys get in?"

Damn it, when did these two start watching?

There were clearly no people in the living room just now!

"Your door was open," Charell said, his face red.

Oh, damn it, did I forget to close the door when I came in?

Veins popped on Shen Cangye's forehead. "I didn't mean to make you unwelcome, but still—! Couldn't you have knocked before coming in? At least you should have let me know beforehand!"

"That's right, senior!" Dominic quickly spoke up. "I wanted to borrow a copy of 'Burn Treatment' from the Leithanien Royal Medical Society from you. Charell told me you have the latest version here, so..."

Taking over the conversation, Charell glanced toward Platinum, who was lying sideways on the sofa, her chin resting on her hand.
