Double Bait

In the consultation room of the vocational training center that smelled of disinfectant, what doctor and lecturer Lu Nanting touched with his fingertips was not only the stiff muscles on the waist of his boss Shen Li, but also the dangerous and ambiguous boundary between them. As the "Mr. Shen" in charge of training, Shen Li is usually elegant and distant. At this moment, the warmth and vulnerability of Shen Li lying on the massage bed penetrated the professional calmness that Lu Nanting tried hard to maintain and cast ripples in her heart. This ripple originated from an unexpected late-night phone call. The deliberate compliment for asking for leave unexpectedly opened the valve that Shen Li was guarding against. Amidst the noise of the electricity, Shen Li took off her disguise, confided in her pain of betrayal by her ex, and asked a shocking question: "Nanting, do you... Like girls?" The panicked Lu Nanting denied it, and even made up a non-existent "boyfriend" to build a line of defense. However, under her sharp rhetorical questions, Shen Li frankly admitted her sexual orientation. This exchanged secret instantly brought them closer, but it also carried a deeper danger. Lu Nanting sensed Shen Li's possible affection for him that transcended the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Fear made her start to distance herself from all directions like a frightened rabbit - she lowered her head to avoid looking, the corridor gave way hastily, and invisible barriers were erected at the work station. However, Shen Li didn't seem to notice it or didn't take it seriously. In the name of "treatment", she continued to call Lu Nanting into the consulting room filled with body temperature and cold fragrance, enjoying the service at her fingertips, and trying to pry open her defenses in silence or chatting. What made Lu Nanting even more suffocated was Shen Li's aggressive probing in public. She took advantage of her status to create seemingly casual physical contacts - holding arms, holding hands, and even tapping Lu Nanting's skin with her fingertips. Every touch was like an electric current, causing Lu Nanting to escape in embarrassment. Shen Li, the formidable "King of Hell" in meetings, showed almost stubborn enthusiasm in his private pursuit of Lu Nanting. She regarded Lu Nanting's dodge as a challenge and pressed forward step by step. "Double Bait" depicts a forbidden relationship that thrives within workplace power structures, simmering in skin-to-skin encounters and late-night secrets. On one side is Lu Nanting's protective shell weaved with lies and his inner panic escape; on the other side is Shen Li's fragile temptation and fiery pursuit after taking off her disguise. Between the cold breath of disinfectant and the warm touch of skin, in the gap between the siege built by lies and the quiet growth of love, the two embarked on a dangerous game of desire, fear and true self. Intention: chasing and escaping, temptation and temptation, mutual redemption, running in both directions
