Xie Chongyue was stunned for a moment. His relationship with Xu Shiqing had been developing rapidly in recent days, and he didn't realize how relaxed he was. He blurted out without thinking, "What is this?"
A bright but crudely made peace lock was handed to him.
To be honest, if Xu Shiqing hadn't handed him this safety lock, Xie Chongyue would have frowned. In his entire life, he had never seen silverware with such poor workmanship...
"A safety lock, to keep you safe." Xu Shiqing rarely showed some worldly airs. Xie Chongyue saw his eyes flickering, as if he was a little unsure: "Do you want one?"
This expression was truly rare. After all, Detective Xu was always so commanding, how could he possibly display such a look of vulnerability? Xie Chongyue had discovered a new interest: he was happy to collect everything about this senior that was different from his usual self. To this end, he even mobilized the social skills he had been exposed to since childhood, successfully infiltrating Xu Shiqing's various circles.
Now, everyone can say that they are very good friends.
At this moment, Xie Chongyue couldn't help but think that Captain Xu, the inaccessible Detective Xu to outsiders, had revealed an expression in front of him that he would never normally have. Once he realized this and concluded that this person was nervous because of him, Xie Chongyue couldn't help but feel proud.
He knew that only when one truly entered the other person's heart would he not worry about whether a gift he gave would be accepted.
After thinking for a long time, he forgot for a moment that Xu Shiqing was still waiting for his reply. It was not until he heard the man's somewhat stagnant and difficult words in his ears that he came to his senses.
"If you don't like it, forget it..."
"No, I don't think so." When Xie Chongyue heard this, he shuddered and clasped his hands together, which made them all stunned.
Xu Shiqing pulled his hand away, but it didn't move. His tone weakened: "I know, don't be so excited..."
Xie Chongyue looked at the peace lock over and over again, as if he couldn't let it go.
Although this thing is rough, the gift itself is not important, what is important is to whom it is given.
"Why do you suddenly want to send me something?" Xie Chongyue coughed lightly, "First of all, let me make it clear, my current salary is only 3,000 yuan."
"..." Xu Shiqing was silent for a moment, then said, "You've followed me for so long, and I haven't given you anything yet."
"This lock belonged to my mother." He casually explained the lock's significance. "The orphanage doesn't have much money. This was my mother's dowry. When she heard I was going to be a police officer, she gave it to me to keep me safe."
Xie Chongyue paused playing with the safety lock, and silently held it in his hand. He had never heard of Xu Shiqing's past. Firstly, he knew that this thing could not be done. Rather than letting Xu Shiqing feel resentful towards him after knowing it, it would be better to take it slowly. He believed that after persistent approach, Xu Shiqing would take the initiative to tell him everything. Secondly, they had only been together for a short time, Xu Shiqing was introverted and never mentioned family matters, and from the outside, he did not look like an orphan at all.
...Xie Chongyue couldn't even imagine that Xu Shiqing would have such a weak and helpless moment.
This man was too calm. When they met, he was like a tall mountain, strong enough to withstand the wind and rain, so much so that he thought the other person had always been like this.
Xu Shiqing glanced at his hand, obviously noticing Xie Chongyue's actions, so he said: "Its mission is to ensure safety. I no longer need it. Handing it over to you, my student, is also a fulfillment of its mission."
"We will separate from now on, and this will serve as proof that we are once master and disciple."
As Xie Chongyue listened, he realized something was wrong and the smile on his face froze slightly.
"What do you mean by separation?" He felt heavy in his heart, and the first thing he asked was, "Am I not working in Shengjing? Or are you being transferred?"
There was a hint of anger in the last words.
He found the assumption distasteful.
"I can see that you don't have any special feelings for this profession," Xu Shiqing paused and said, "It's very hard."
"Although I stopped you from committing perjury, and it was not submitted as evidence."
"We even claimed that I instructed you to do this in order to detain the suspect and buy time to investigate the case." He said, "We all knew that if we let him go, it would be like a fish in water, and there would be nothing we could do."
"But internally, I think you are no longer suitable to stay in the Criminal Police Brigade."
Xu Shiqing said, "Maybe the director will send you the transfer order tomorrow."
Xie Chongyue gripped the safety lock tightly in his hand and asked, "Isn't that more than that? According to what you said, shouldn't I be able to open it directly?"
"You know the director won't do that," Xu Shiqing said. "In fact, he plans to transfer you to Sichuan Province."
"I don't agree." Xie Chongyue raised his voice.
"But only in Sichuan Province can you have a better future." Xu Shiqing said, "I agree with the director. After all, if you stay in Shengjing, the black mark on your resume will lead to your failure. No one will believe your father's story."
"I know you're a very capable young man. You're smart and talented. If you end up stuck as a third-level inspector for the rest of your life because of a momentary mistake, it would be a huge loss for both you and the Xia Nation."
Xie Chongyue was almost amused by the subtext in his words.
He had just realized how important he was to the other person, but now he was so eager to throw him out, as far away as possible, and even gave him a safety lock to cover up the truth! It seemed as if Xie Chongyue was very important to him!
fraud!
"What did Zhang Haichuan tell you?" Xie Chongyue asked, "What kind of official is my father and how capable he is? Do you think a young master like me is just here for fun?"
