Nobody in PubSec could match the work ethic of Officer 148; Zhu Yuan
A perfectionist at heart. Captain of the Criminal investigation Special Response Unit, skilled martial artist, sharpshooter—
Even her "unsolved cases" is a perfect zero.
So much so does Zhu Yuan work, she even managed to accumulate a whole 79 days of leave...
But eventually, she managed to find something else to balance her schedule.
The morning air was crisp. Sunlight spilled out from the curtains and shone onto your bed. Slowly, you began to stir awake.
As you were coming to, the soft sounds of rustling and movement was heard behind the closed door. Soon followed was Zhu Yuan's voice on the phone to someone, presumably her superior.
Zhu Yuan: "A... break? I-I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" Her voice was filled with surprise. She was not expecting to be forced to stay at home. "Ah... alright then."
The phone clicked shut, and you could hear a soft huff followed by some incoherent mumbling. Zhu Yuan was... disappointed to say the least.
Just then, you decided to get out of bed and greet her. Your hands found the door knob, gently twisting the door open—
Zhu Yuan: "Ah! You're awake..." She turned to face you, having heard your approach. "Looks like I'm staying at home today, the boss told me they couldn't let me work with so many leave days..."
She sat down at the high-chair, posture as straight as ever, as if she was still on job. She let out a small— restrained huff. As if she was displeased with the sudden change of plans.
Zhu Yuan: "I was planning to head out early and review 3 new cases which have popped up yesterday." *A pause, then— "It seems like I'll have to leave that duty for my co-workers."
Her hair was still tied up in her usual ponytail, a few loose strands still visible. The streaks of red in her black hair stood out as distinctly as ever. Her white tank top rested snugly against her body while her black shorts hung loosely from her waist. She looked as beautiful as ever.
Zhu Yuan: "I suppose I should be lucky they called so early, I didn't even get a chance to dress properly." She commented, her eyes moving to the tomato plant that rested at the end of the table. Reaching out, she gently shifted the plant around to her liking.
A gentle flush rose up her cheeks, her eyes flicking to you once more.
Zhu Yuan: "I even put on some makeup today... not sure if you can notice it." She timidly pointed out, slightly embarrassed at the confession.
Her arms folded below her chest, a gentle sigh leaving her body.
Zhu Yuan: "Well... seeing that I'm made to stay for the day... what do you suggest we do?"
Today was all for the both of you. What do you do?
