Chapter 169 Chapter 169 I’m Not Unwilling to Get Married…
Xu Lian and his team already had a mission to complete, and now that they had successfully captured two fugitive suspects, they naturally had to rush back without stopping to avoid any unnecessary accidents.
However, it was still difficult for three people to bring the two people back safely, especially Chai Guohao, who looked very strong and might suddenly run away on the way back.
In order to demonstrate Anxi's responsibility and friendship towards its sister units, Team 5 also sent Jia Xuemin and Qi Xiu back with them to take care of them.
As they returned, Team 5 also went about their business as usual.
That is to plant trees.
That’s right, two months after Arbor Day had quietly passed, their city’s Public Security Bureau began tree planting activities.
As for why it was so late, the leaders of the bureau also had their reasons.
It's just that the Chinese New Year was celebrated late this year, and I was overwhelmed with things to do after I came back, so I really couldn't spare any time. However, afforestation is a major national initiative, so how can I not participate in it?
So Director Kuang waved his hand and designated an auspicious day, and everyone rushed to the new railway station with shovels and pick up the train.
The new railway station was built in the past two years. It occupies a larger area, is newer and more remote than the old railway station in the city.
Since this is a newly developed plot of land, there are only a few trees on both sides of the road, and they are needed to contribute their strength.
Deng Xingwang, carrying a shovel, shouted with great vigor and confidence, "Which piece of land is ours? I can't wait."
Qiu Jiang was walking with the older sisters in the team, just a few dozen meters behind him, and could hear his words clearly.
"Why do I feel like Xingwang is a little overexcited today?"
Wang Meilin was very confused. She turned to look at Qiu Jiang and asked, "Does he have a girlfriend recently?"
Qiu Jiang's eyebrows curved, "I don't think so."
"Then why is he so strange today?"
Wang Meilin was a little puzzled, feeling that something good must have happened to him, otherwise he wouldn't be so emotional.
So what is it?
Qiu Jiang nodded her cheek and guessed, "Maybe it's because Brother Wang bought him a box of game discs as a gift in order to invite him to be the best man."
"Sure enough, you're still just a little brat who doesn't understand the beauty of girls."
After hearing this, Wang Meilin gave a keen evaluation.
As soon as she finished speaking, the older sisters next to her immediately understood what she meant and burst out laughing.
"Jiang Jiang is the same. She doesn't understand the good of men."
"Hahaha--"
They burst into laughter.
Qiu Jiang looked confused, but actually felt helpless.
She is not a child anymore, and this is an era of information explosion. She is not a child who knows nothing. She also knows the meaning of the dirty jokes they tell.
But she was sure that if she showed an expression that she knew what it meant, they would all gather around her and gossip about her.
Whenever she thought of that scene, her scalp would tingle, and she would pretend not to know or understand.
Soon, they lost interest and started talking about someone else.
"Tell me, our team leader is already quite grown up, why doesn't he have a relationship?"
"Who knows? But there's a saying that the smarter you are, the more independent you are. Someone as smart as our team leader might prefer to be alone and be impatient with being harassed by someone."
"That makes sense, but it's such a pity."
"Alas, what's the use of feeling sorry? We are all married women. No matter how sorry we are, it won't be our turn."
"You're so shameless! Even if we weren't married, Captain Ji wouldn't be interested in us."
"How could I not know? It's just a random thought."
They kept chattering about Ji Mingcheng not finding a partner.
Qiu Jiang really had no interest in joining in on this topic. After saying something to them, she quickly ran to the saplings on the roadside ahead, picked up a few of them, and went after Ji Mingcheng.
"Team Season, are we Team One?"
"Okay." Ji Mingcheng agreed quickly.
After arriving at a place, Ji Mingcheng picked up a shovel and started digging a hole in an orderly manner. When he was almost done, he instructed her to put the sapling in, and he began to cover the hole with soil.
Qiu Jiang asked for a bucket of water from the side and carried it over here with difficulty.
At this time, Ji Mingcheng moved. He walked quickly with his long legs, took the bucket from her hand in a flash, and brought it back with great ease.
In the sunshine, he bent down to pour water.
With this movement, his well-proportioned muscles were clearly visible through his shirt, and his lean and powerful biceps were full of strength, making people unable to help but look at them again and again, unable to take their eyes off them at all.
Qiu Jiang felt that she shouldn't have done that, but the lines were so beautiful that she couldn't help herself. She squinted her eyes and took a look until her conscience began to condemn her, then she looked away. However, her lust was too stubborn and kept coming out from time to time.
When her lust got the better of her, she took a few more glances.
Once I regained my rationality, I secretly despised myself for being tempted by beauty.
Who was Ji Mingcheng? He was incredibly sharp-eyed. Even though she looked away in time and glanced to the side, he understood what was going on in a flash.
I couldn't help but feel happy.
"Come here, it's the next one."
"oh."
She quickly put those messy thoughts out of her mind and carefully supported the sapling while watching him bury the soil and water it.
Because she was too close, she lowered her head slightly and saw the muscles faintly visible under the cuffs.
Cough cough.
This time she didn't mean to look at it, she really just wanted to fix the sapling.
Compared with others, their group made rapid progress, with a row of neatly arranged saplings stretching their leaves in the wind.
Deng Xingwang suddenly came over and looked at them in disbelief. "You've planted so many trees in just a short time?"
"To be precise, it was Team Ji who planted it. I just supported the sapling." Qiu Jiang corrected him.
"That's even more outrageous, okay? We have so many people over there, and we only have two more trees than you. It's really infuriating."
"That's because you were chatting enthusiastically." Qiu Jiang immediately revealed the reason for their slow speed.
Discovered...
Deng Xingwang scratched his head awkwardly.
Fortunately, his purpose of coming here was not to plant more trees than anyone else, but to ask them if they wanted to help Wang Li.
These days, Wang Li took a long vacation to prepare for his wedding, and he hasn't seen him for many days.
He even hurriedly delivered the game disc to the security guard, which shows how busy he has been recently.
As brothers, it would be unreasonable for them not to help.
Of course, no one would say anything whether Captain Ji goes or not. He mainly wants to ask his partner Qiu Jiang whether he wants to go.
After all, they will inevitably meet Wang Li's wife-to-be at that time. It would be bad if these grown men accidentally said something wrong.
Besides, having a girl around would help both sides understand each other better.
Qiu Jiang naturally had no problem with that. "Okay, when are we going?"
"It's better to arrive early than to arrive early. Let's go after we finish planting the trees."
"That's perfect. You can go to my house and move a few boxes of wine first." Ji Mingcheng said.
"Ah? Captain Ji, are you going too?"
"What? No?" Ji Mingcheng asked back.
"No, no, no, how can that be possible?"
Deng Xingwang quickly expressed his attitude.
"That's good."
Ji Mingcheng patted the dirt off his hands and gave Deng Xingwang some instructions.
Deng Xingwang patted his chest after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
By noon, they finally set out on their return journey.
After arriving in the city, Deng Xingwang and his team did not return to the Municipal Bureau, but followed Ji Mingcheng's car to his home.
Several people grunted and groaned as they carried wine, boxes of fireworks and candies. After the trunks of the two cars were filled to the brim with nothing more, they were able to set off.
Wang Li, who was busy at home, gave them a big hug as soon as he saw them.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
This cold and cool guy who doesn't like to show his emotions is really about to cry.
I had no idea that just getting married would involve so many things to deal with.
This is even when his family and his partner are already busy with most of the work.
If they arrived at this time, they could help him a lot.
Not to mention that their team also brought so many things, all of which were high-end goods worth a lot of money. The value was secondary. The key was that they were in short supply, really in short supply, and they were good goods that he couldn't buy. If they were displayed on the wedding day, it would definitely be considered a pretty good banquet.
These things finally solved his urgent need, so he quickly asked someone to call his uncles who had gone out to purchase but couldn't find suitable candies and drinks.
In addition to Qiu Jiang going to his mother to ask if there was anything he could help with, he quickly joined in the balloon blowing game.
Deng Xingwang and his colleagues were also busy decorating flowers and entertaining guests coming and going.
As for the bride, she didn't even look at it from beginning to end.
Qiu Jiang was not surprised by this.
Even after hundreds of years, some customs have not changed, such as the fact that newlyweds should not meet each other before getting married.
This also directly avoided Deng Xingwang's previous worries.
Anyway, the purpose was achieved and no one was bothered by it. The only thing was that the unmarried people realized how tiring it was to get married after helping out this time, while those who were married, like Jia Wang, were comparing their miseries one by one, proving how much they lost when they were so busy getting married, and that they were even talking in their sleep about what they had to do the next day.
In short, it is as tiring as it can be, and it is not as free and easy as these young people think, where they can be dashing and talk to others with their wives.
In reality, getting married is a chore.
Of course, for those who truly love each other, the tiredness is definitely worth it and they are happy to be tired.
Tong Bei was the youngest person present. He didn't feel it was worth it or happy at all. He just thought that getting married was extremely terrible and could make people exhausted.
It’s terrible, terrible, so terrible.
Ji Mingcheng listened to their conversation idly, but his eyes occasionally fell on Qiu Jiang who seemed to be lost in thought, and he asked her directly:
"What are you thinking about?"
Qiu Jiang wanted to say something but stopped herself. Seeing the confusion on his face, she moved closer to him and whispered what was in her heart.
"Captain Ji, isn't this also the reason you don't want to get married?"
Ji Mingcheng felt a gust of cold wind blowing and laughed.
"I'm not unwilling to get married."
Qiu Jiang: "..."
Do you dare to believe this?
She didn't believe it anyway.
Ji Mingcheng looked at her seriously and saw through her suspicion. He raised his lip slightly and gave her a slap on the head. He said with a cheerful expression, "You'll know later."
What's the meaning?
Qiu Jiang covered her forehead, trying to guess what he wanted to say, but unfortunately she didn't understand. She just felt that he was a little strange today.
