Chapter 108 Linda Was Left Alone in the Bookstore
Those cadets were simple creatures. If you won their hearts, you would win their respects
And Bun had impressed them and earned their respects.
"Very well. Now let's take ten minutes to rest, and we'll resume our training."
Bun glanced at her watch, and there were still half an hour before the morning training was over. Bun only took charge of the morning, and she was supposed to go to the bookstore with Linda in the afternoon. Lying on the ground, Sarah Shen was much better and less breathless after taking a long rest. However, she could still feel the pain all over her body. And her cheeks were aching mildly but persistently. She hadn't worked out for quite a while, and therefore her body was apparently not used to the sudden exercises.
It was really painful.
Ten minutes later, Bun asked them to stand at attention.
It was actually kind of an act of mercy, for standing still was much more comfortable than other trainings. Bun was planning to go easy on them in the last half an hour.
But clearly Sarah Shen didn't think so. She still felt Bun was against her on purpose.
Sarah Shen's fury was almost reaching its zenith. She could barely sit up properly at the moment, and how was she supposed to stand at attention? Standing upright meant more energy loss, and she would only be more exhausted than she already had been. However, others all took their positions and stood still at Bun's order. Though they were just as tired as Sarah Shen was, they didn't want to give up.
Sarah Shen couldn't help cursing silently, "What the hell is wrong with these people? It's only a training program. Do you seriously need to obey every word she said?"
It hadn't even been 60 seconds when Sarah Shen slouched again. Bun noticed and shouted at her, "Chest up! What? Are you pregnant? Or trying to hide something?"
After being mocked by Bun again, Sarah Shen was totally humiliated.
She gave Bun a hostile look and yelled, "You are just picking on me, aren't you? Madam! I know we had some issues, but this is police officers academy! Aren't you afraid I report you to the authority?"
"As you said, this is the police officers academy, not your own house. We are now in the middle of your training program, and I'm your instructor, which means you have to obey my order. Take a look around. Everyone else is standing here just as you do. Or are you trying to ask for special treatment?"
Replied Bun sourly. And all of a sudden she thought of a phrase she once heard, "Drama queen".
"You!"
"What? Want to go back to running again? Chin up, chest out, shoulders back, stomach in and eyes front! 25 more minutes to go! Come on! Unless you don't want to have lunch!"
Sarah Shen was too tired to talk back, and so she looked aside and said nothing more.
In the meantime, Brian Ho drove Linda to the nearby bookstore.
But Brian Ho left Linda alone in the store and went for Bun right after he got the address from Linda. Linda felt so angry when she noticed that he had sneaked away.
However, Brian Ho at least had the courtesy to call Charles Mu first before he left.
"Charles, where are you?"
"Hmm? In the company."
"Linda is in the bookstore right now. You'd better come and get her. I'm not sure whether she will be safe on her own."
"What do you mean? She is supposed to be at home and wait for Bun at this hour..."
"Well... It's a long story. And a quite complicated one, I'm afraid. Let's not talk about this right now. Anyway, you go get Linda. I have got an emergency and I've got to run. Bye."
Brian Ho then hung up and sped up toward the academy where Bun worked.
And Brian Ho specially stopped by the flower shop to buy a bunch of 99 red roses as a surprise gift for Bun.
Brian Ho had been planning to surprise Bun on his way there, and he couldn't wait any longer to see Bun when he arrived at the institution. He passed the security check with his certificate of officers and asked about where Bun was, and then he went to find her with the roses.
Although Brian Ho had left the army, he was still used to wearing his uniform in his daily life.
The epaulets of Major General was shining blazingly on his shoulders. And people couldn't help wondering what could have brought a Major General to such an academy.
And apart from his military rank, he was so gorgeously handsome. Although Brian Ho wore his hat low, it was clearly not enough to prevent his seductive eyes from drawing the attentions from the female cadets on the training field.
Brian Ho looked around and found Bun at the front of a line, looking fierce and handsome.
Bun was giving orders to her team, and he went directly toward her.
Brian Ho knew Bun would finish her job at precisely 12 o'clock. It was ten to twelve, so Brian Ho stepped aside with the flower and waited for Bun to finish.
99 roses made a huge bunch that was big enough to hide Brian Ho's face if he held the flower in front of his chest.
Brian Ho was so eager to surprise Bun, and he shouted immediately at Bun's direction as soon as the training was over, "Hey, Bonny!" Hearing the voice, Bun looked around in surprise and noticed the voice came from someone who was holding a giant bunch of roses.
Bun was actually quite familiar with Brian Ho's voice. However, she didn't recognize it at first since his face was hidden behind the flower.
Brian Ho slowly moved away the roses and then ran his fingers through his hair to make sure he looked charming enough. Then he slightly narrowed his eyes and stared at Bun. However... His face turned ghastly pale two seconds later after he saw Sarah Shen in the crowd.
Brian Ho had no idea how he would end up in such a mess. What was Sarah Shen doing here? Wasn't she the Deputy Director-General of the Municipal Public Security Bureau? She should have graduated from the academy ages ago. How could she be on the training ground with those freshmen?
People on the training field were either freshmen or instructors.
How could Sarah Shen not notice Brian Ho and the flower in his hands?
A mixed feeling rushed into her mind the moment she saw Brian Ho. And Sarah Shen found her eyes start to water as she was looking at him.
It had been two years since they last met. Brian Ho disappeared from her world without even saying goodbye two years ago and he had never been heard of again ever since...
How time had flown. Just when Sarah Shen thought she had forgotten this man and moved on, he showed up in front of her face again...
Only that he was here for another woman...
Sarah Shen felt her heart was torn apart, and she couldn't help crying.
Bun had already heard of the story between Sarah Shen and Brian Ho. She felt so sorry for Sarah Shen who had to go through this. And meanwhile, Bun knew somehow, at least in Sarah Shen's view, that she was to blame for Brian Ho showing up with flowers. What the hell was he doing? Coming to her with roses?
Bun was totally confused...
Bun knew that Brian Ho was a player, and she also heard about the long list of his ex-girlfriends. Therefore, she thought that Brian Ho was merely flirting with her last night...
"... Er........... Why are you here?" Brian Ho stood where he was, looking rather awkward.
"Brian... You..."☐☐☐☐☐☐
