21 Heartbeats Facing You | Are you attracted to Xiao Jiang?
After the call ended, both of them went about their own business.
The launching ceremony of the Jingjiang Museum Annual Meeting went very smoothly. The International Exchange and Cultural Center also sent people to support the event, hoping to make cultural relics protection the main theme of the anniversary celebration of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Lanzhou.
When the ceremony was over, De Luo came to talk to Lin Weifeng and asked tentatively in broken Chinese: "Is the bully very sun-kissed?"
Very sunny?
The sun is shining today and the wind is gentle.
Did he see their conversation in front of the glass door just now?
Lin Weifeng was stunned for a moment, then realized in time that De Luo might want to say "very handsome".
She smiled and, taking this topic as a starting point, half-jokingly responded, "Yeah, it's very sunny, but he has a very healthy complexion."
Drozd, not sure if he understood, continued, "Yes, he's very healthy, with a perfect score in physical fitness. He skipped a committee meeting and has been 'shooting' ten kilometers every day, helping everyone set up the training equipment. But during the final physical fitness test, he set records in every single section, which really made the Asians proud."
Lin Weifeng first corrected his pronunciation with a smile: "Run ten kilometers as punishment."
Then, he gradually became suspicious and asked in English, "He shoulders a heavy responsibility and should be training hard. How could he run away? What happened?"
Drozd pretended to recall the past and spoke objectively, "He left in a hurry that day and didn't tell me what he was doing. When he came back, I saw him carrying the New World Hotel packaging bag."
Bag from New World Hotel.
Lin Weifeng listened carefully, and as he nodded, the blood vessels in his body seemed to be opened up.
She suddenly thought of their meeting at Lanxi Airport. He was in uniform, so he wasn't working...
Instead, he came to find her, escaping the meeting to find her.
Lin Weifeng brushed the hair by his ears, let out a breath silently, took a cup of iced coffee from the table and handed it to De Luo.
Dro drank half the glass in one gulp and added, "That happened three months ago."
Lin Weifeng asked: "Is the bully going back to Lanxi?"
"Probably not. His assessment is over."
“Is the assessment strict?”
"You Chinese people are always stronger when facing a stronger opponent," Droz said with a smile. "I think nothing can stump a bully."
Lin Weifeng smiled and nodded, then asked softly, "Has he been hard-working in these three months?"
"He never said he worked hard. He always had a spirit that I couldn't achieve."
"What is it?"
"For example, last month, Interpol successfully handled the 'Mike Murder Case'. After killing his wife last year, the murderer Mike disguised himself many times and used his complicated social relationships to escape legal sanctions. The organization has been troubled for a year. When Mike fled to the Lanxi border, a prison break case broke out, and he wanted to sneak into the country. As a result, the bully had a keen eye. In the chaos, based on the multiple photos in his memory, he recognized Mike at a glance and shot him down. We don't know how he did it. When the political commissar wanted to commend him, he asked the political commissar to award the honor to a comrade who died because of undercover in the prison break organization, and the bonus was also given to his family. Even I think that this honor will be useful for the responsibilities he shoulders." De Luo took a sip of coffee, smiled and shook his head.
Lin Weifeng listened intently, but she was not surprised, because she believed in her heart that Jiang Yu was a good person.
She simply asked, "Has he been injured in the past three months?"
"Woo..." Dror put down his coffee with a flick of his wrist, raised his eyebrows, and said with admiration and pity, "I accept it."
"Huh?" Lin Weifeng was stunned for a moment and straightened his body.
"He'd only been at the center for three months, but he'd already been involved in many major arrests. Initially, the criminals were completely unprepared for him, but his sharpshooting skills were so fast, accurate, and ruthless that, after two months, he became a target for analysis at pre-operation meetings."
Lin Weifeng said calmly, "So during this month's operation, were there any criminal gangs targeting him to harm him?"
Dromo paused for a moment, thought about it, and then said in a relaxed tone: "If I say yes, will you still like him?"
“…”
Lin Weifeng's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed, his shoulders tensed, and he hurriedly drank a sip of water.
Foreigners do like the white-drawing technique.
De Luo did not give up the topic and continued to ask: "When we work, our lives are almost hanging by a thread. Would you like him like this?"
English wasn't subtle enough after all, and De Luo's question hit her right in the heart.
Her palms grew warm, and she suppressed a smile, saying rationally, "When you like someone, occupation is not the decisive factor, whether it's safe or dangerous."
Dro smiled and clapped his hands: "You two are very interesting."
The palms holding the coffee cup were sweating. Lin Weifeng put the cup down and wiped it with a piece of paper. Then, after gathering his strength, he asked seriously, "Mr. De Luo, Officer Jiang, the bully, where was he injured?"
"Right arm." Dro didn't hesitate for a second.
Lin Weifeng muttered to himself, "Right arm." Then he tried to infer, "A sharpshooter's right arm is always targeted, even left-handed people can't escape it."
De Luo raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?"
Because Lin Haidong lost his right arm because of this.
However, Lin Weifeng just said: "I guessed."
"It's like you all have super powers," Drew said.
The activities continued until the afternoon. The afternoon activities did not involve legal issues, so Lin Weifeng took the car from the basement and returned to the law firm.
Driving to the fountain at the airport hotel, she saw De Luo scratching his head in front of his mobile phone, probably encountering some difficulties.
She honked the horn twice and rolled down the window.
De Luo soon saw her, trotted over, and poked his head into the car: "Hey, hostage, I need some more help from you."
Lin Weifeng saw that he was carrying a sports backpack, as if he was going on a trip, and guessed, "Maybe he doesn't know how to take a taxi?"
"Oh my god, you know?"
"You said I had super powers."
"Can you help me then?"
Lin Weifeng shook his head.
De Luo: "Oh my God, it turns out you are a cruel Chinese woman."
Lin Weifeng laughed and said, "I won't help you get a taxi, but I want to take you directly to your destination."
"So that's it!" Dro shouted excitedly.
"Come up."
De Luo put the backpack on the back seat without any hesitation and sat in the passenger seat.
Because he is quite large, the seat needs to be adjusted backwards and the seat belt needs to be extended quite a distance.
He gave Lin Weifeng an apologetic look, which made her laugh continuously.
Lin Weifeng tapped the steering wheel lightly, started the car again, and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Jingjiang Zoo, I want to see the giant pandas."
"Seeing giant pandas, good."
"Bully stays with me."
“…”
It happened that the light was red, and Lin Weifeng accidentally hit the wiper when he braked.
The untimely movement on the windshield let Drew know immediately, "Hostage, you're nervous."
“…”
About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the zoo entrance.
As he unbuckled his seatbelt, De Luo said casually, "Want to join us? Pandas are really cute."
Lin Weifeng said: "I have seen them many times. The two bigger pandas are called He He and Ping Ping."
"Wow, I like that name," Dro nodded, "I like the name Bully too."
“…” It must be intentional.
Dro stretched out his finger and pointed at the zoo gate through the glass.
Jiang Yu was standing next to a panda sculpture at the door.
"I think he would like you to go too," said Dror.
Lin Weifeng met De Luo's expectant eyes and tilted his head, saying, "We agreed to keep our distance."
"Why?"
"because……"
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yu called De Luo.
De Luo opened the door and walked out of the car. After saying "thank you" and "goodbye" to Lin Weifeng, he ran towards Jiang Yu.
Lin Weifeng thought, what else could it be? Because I like her too much.
But I still don’t know…
Jiang Yu held his cell phone in the air, his eyes penetrated the glass in front of the car and saw Lin Weifeng.
The sun was shining brightly, and the shadow of the car was not close to him.
According to Droz's pace, it was exactly fifteen meters.
There was a blank for a few seconds, and the two people looked at each other motionlessly.
It was not until De Luo patted Jiang Yu on the shoulder and said something that Jiang Yu scratched his temples and figured out the situation.
The two men waved slowly to Lin Weifeng in the car, indicating that they were about to go in.
Lin Weifeng blew the whistle and said goodbye with a smile.
When their figures completely disappeared from sight, Lin Weifeng received a text message that "bullies can't receive": [Fifteen meters, I did what I said.]
Lin Weifeng's lips curved, his eyes gleamed, and he replied: [Me too.]
Then, she stared at the text message dialog box and calmed down. She wanted to ask him about his injuries, but she didn't know the words, so she gave up.
Lin Weifeng worked for an afternoon and drove home.
While eating, the evening news happened to broadcast that the Jingjiang Museum welcomed the Gui home. Lin Haidong said, "Is Weifeng going to attend this event today?"
"Yes, Dad."
Lin Haidong said in a relaxed tone: "It didn't make the news this time."
Gu Chengxiu glanced at him and said, "It's not that easy to make the news."
Lin Weifeng put down his chopsticks and asked Lin Haidong: "Dad, do you still remember the news from last time?"
"Brain waves?" Lin Haidong bent his fingers and poked his temples.
"Um."
"Of course I remember. At school, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang always said my daughter was a big star."
Lin Weifeng's eyes were deep. "Dad, I didn't dare ask last time. In the news footage, can you tell who the police officer was who saved me? Do you know him?"
Lin Weifeng asked with a smile, she thought Lin Haidong would be very interested.
Unexpectedly, this question caused everyone at the dinner table to fall silent.
Lin Haidong put down his bowl and chopsticks, slowly let out a breath, and said in a low voice: "Of course, I knew it when I first saw the news."
Lin Weifeng didn't know why Lin Haidong frowned when he answered this question.
She said weakly, "That's right, he used the gesture you invented, Dad. It's impossible not to see it."
Gu Chengxiu added, "It's your most proud student, Xiao Jiang, right? He even bought a pair of pillows from my shop."
Lin Haidong paused at the sentence he had just spoken, his expression gloomy, and said nothing more.
After a while, Lin Haidong stared at his daughter: "Why are you asking this? Are you still in contact with Xiao Jiang?"
Lin Haidong was unusually serious, and Lin Weifeng felt nervous.
"We haven't been in touch all the time, but we will probably be in touch in the future," she said frankly.
Lin Haidong went straight to the point: "You—are interested in Xiao Jiang?"
Lin Weifeng supported herself on the table with her arms to sit up straight. She seemed unable to answer this short question easily.
Lin Haidong seemed to see through his daughter's thoughts and said casually, "Didn't you promise dad to go to the blind date conference?"
"I did agree, but...actually, if I hadn't met Jiang Yu, I probably wouldn't have agreed. I have some definite expectations for this blind date conference."
"I'm looking forward to Xiao Jiang."
Lin Weifeng did not answer directly. She was nervous and felt that Lin Haidong had something to hide.
