Despite the noise, Ji Bai hadn't said a single word to Xu Xu. He glanced at her and stopped: "I'm going to buy some local specialties for my friends, do you want to come?"
Xu Xu thought he wanted to buy some: "Go."
Ji Bai looked up again and asked everyone: "I am going to buy some local specialties with Xu Xu. What about you?" He looked around at everyone. Everyone met his gaze and shook their heads.
"No, no. You go."
“What’s the point of buying local specialties?”
Su Mu: "Captain Ji, I recommend a store to you. The products are very good, but it's a little far away."
——
It was not just a little far, it took me more than half an hour to get there.
However, they were both secretly satisfied with Su Mu's recommendation: it would be okay to spend another night with him (her) in such a quiet manner without being disturbed.
After coming out of the specialty store, they were both silent for a while. Ji Bai looked around quickly and finally chose the riverside: "Let's go over there."
The small town is surrounded by green rivers. The newly built river embankment along the river is like a gray-white jade belt, extending in the night water. After they walked for a while, they heard lively music ahead and saw an open square at the end of the riverbank.
Because of the rain, there were not many people along the way. But rainy days cannot extinguish the passion of the people in this small town for life. The song "Summer, summer quietly leaves, leaving behind sweetness..." echoes over the river bank. Dozens of pairs of men and women, mostly middle-aged or older, were dancing under the lights.
To a young person like Xu Xu, this scene was warm and lovely, but also a little frustrating.
Ji Bai also thought that it was quite embarrassing to dance in a group with a bunch of middle-aged men and women in public. But he remained silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at Xu Xu: "Would you like to dance?"
Xu Xu: “…whatever.”
Ji Bai casually threw the local specialties he had just bought on the ground and didn't think about it until he left.
——
Xu Xu had only danced with Xu Jun at home. She gave one hand to Ji Bai and put the other on his shoulder, then lowered her head, her face starting to heat up silently.
Ji Bai grasped her sweaty little hand tightly, and finally held it with his other hand, tracing her slender waist which he had traced many times with his eyes.
The moment he got the hang of it, his heart was filled with waves of calm and joyful excitement, and Xu Xu's body also trembled slightly. He felt it, but silently tightened his hands a little more, bringing her body closer to him.
The sound of music is right next to my ears, yet it seems so far away. There were crowds of people around, but like the night, they all became an insignificant background. Xu Xu was in his arms, feeling a slight dizziness she had never felt before.
This, she thought, was what it meant to be infatuated. I'm a little confused.
In fact, neither of them is good at dancing, and their dance steps are not in sync. Although Xu Xu did not step on his leather shoes, he would move and exert force in the opposite direction from him from time to time. Every time at this time, she could always feel Ji Bai's strength in his hands being retracted, bringing her back into his arms, without any distance between them. He seemed to be more silently powerful than usual. Xu Xu looked up at his eyes that were dark and quiet in the night, wanting to look directly into his heart. But she was only a little dizzy and couldn't think clearly and calmly.
One song after another.
From "Pink Memories" to "The Most Dazzling National Style" and then to "The First Snow of 2002".
When Dao Lang sang "You are like a flying butterfly", Xu Xu suddenly felt that Ji Bai hugged her waist tighter, and his warm breath seemed to be approaching her short hair.
…
“It’s raining!”
"It's raining again! Let's go home!"
The music suddenly started and the dancers in the square scattered. Ji Bai slowly let go of Xu Xu and they stared into each other's eyes.
The raindrops fell at their feet and on their heads.
"Boss! You guys are here!" Da Hu's cheerful voice came from behind the rain curtain, "Hurry up and get in the car. There will be another rainstorm soon."
In a flash, the rain got heavier.
Ji Bai glanced at Xu Xu and said, "Get in the car first."
——
It turned out that Su Mu had taken the car and was taking everyone for a ride along the riverbank, and happened to run into them.
The group returned to the police compound in a lively manner. Ji Bai stood under the porch, surrounded by several young criminal police officers, who expressed their admiration before parting. Xu Xu walked to the door of the room and glanced at him across the crowd. He seemed to notice it immediately and looked up at her with a calm and deep gaze.
After taking a shower, Xu Xu sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the heavy rain outside the window.
Just when the dance was at the end, she felt Ji Bai lower his head, and then her head was gently touched.
So was it Ji Bai who kissed her short hair, or was it the first drop of rain that fell on her head?
Thinking of this, her heart beat faster again. She pushed open the window decisively. Immediately, raindrops floated in, falling on her head in twos and threes.
I don’t know how long she spent comparing and feeling it, until her hair was half wet, she finally pulled her head back. He rested his chin on one hand and smiled.
It's so frustrating. I have no experience and can't tell the difference.
☆、35
China-Myanmar border.
The Mekong River is turbulent, with large tracts of emerald green forests lining both sides.
On the winding mountain road, a military off-road vehicle suddenly stopped and several armed soldiers jumped out and rushed into the forest. A moment later, they surrounded a hillside.
The branches were shaking, and a woman stumbled out of the woods with her hands covering her head. After days of fleeing, she was ragged and pale. One soldier grabbed her long hair, and another soldier hit her hard on the waist with the butt of his rifle. The woman screamed and fell to her knees.
"Notify the Chinese police." An officer said in Burmese, "'Lu Ge' has been caught, please ask them to..."
"Bang." A faint but clear sound of breaking through the air.
The officer's words came to an abrupt halt. A bloody bullet hole appeared between his dark eyebrows, and his expression froze for a moment. The surrounding soldiers watched in horror as he fell on his back.
"There's an ambush! Be careful!" the soldiers exclaimed one after another.
In response to them, there was a burst of "bang bang bang" sound of machine gun fire coming from outside the forest. After a while, dust and fallen leaves were flying all over the forest, and the soldiers fell to the ground in a bloody mess.
Lu Ge crouched on the ground, his body shaking like a sieve at the sound of gunfire. Not until everything returned to silence did she look up in panic. Outside the forest, under the blazing sunlight, several off-road vehicles were parked beside the road. Several men stood on the roof of the car with guns on their shoulders, with indifferent and numb smiles on their faces. The door of one of the cars was slowly opening towards her.
Lu Ge stood up from the ground, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
——
The fully armed convoy was speeding along the forest road. On the front of the car, the flag of the Kakkan Independence Army in northern Myanmar fluttered in the wind.
Lu Ge knelt in the middle car and bent down to kiss the man's shoe.
This was a very tall and strong man, wearing a dark grey camouflage military uniform. On the bronze face, there are eagle-like fierce eyes and dark red tangled scars. He grabbed Lu Ge, held her in his arms, stared at her, and whispered in Burmese: "You are my woman, no one can kill you."
Lu Ge nodded and answered in awkward Burmese: "I will help you sell more people to Southeast Asia and make more money."
As soon as the words came out, their lips were kissed together.
——
Thousands of kilometers away in Lin City, the sunshine is quiet and the summer breeze is gentle, which is completely different from the scorching and unrestrained tropical world.
As soon as he arrived in the city, Ji Bai received a call from the director, who ordered him to go directly to the Provincial Public Security Department to attend the director's work meeting.
At the meeting, Ji Bai reported the results of the arrest operation. The deputy director in charge of external relations said: "According to reliable information, 'Lu Ge' has probably fled to Myanmar. We have contacted the Myanmar side through the China-Myanmar Joint Crime Office and asked them to arrest 'Lu Ge' and hand him over to us as soon as possible."
Another deputy director in charge of criminal investigation frowned and said, "I heard that the situation in northern Myanmar is quite chaotic recently. I hope the arrest operation will be effective."
After the meeting, Director Liu said to the director: "Old classmate, please come to my office with Xiao Ji for a chat."
After drinking the green tea from Director Liu's personal collection, the director turned to Ji Bai with a smile and said, "Let me tell you, it's rare to drink her tea. Normally, it would embarrass me if you're so polite."
Director Liu laughed, and Ji Bai also laughed.
Director Liu said to the director sincerely, "To be honest, there is a girl named Xu Xu under your command. I admire her very much and would like to transfer her to the provincial department."
Ji Bai's hand holding the teacup paused slightly and he looked up at Director Liu.
The director smiled and replied, "Xu Xu and Yao Meng are talents specially recruited by our bureau. I even invited their dean to dinner. If you take them away, my team will be incomplete."
Director Liu: "Old classmate, I am also considering the overall situation. I also have a top student who studies criminal psychology, named Yang Qinglin, who is Xu Xu's senior. If Xu Xu comes, I want them to form a criminal psychology research room, which will be of great significance to the improvement of the province's criminal investigation level. I have also asked the director, and he has no objection."
The director said, "Okay, I agree in principle. But the criminal investigation is under Ji Bai's charge, so I'll have to see his opinion."
Ji Bai smiled and replied, "Director Liu's idea is very valuable. But Xu Xu is rather stubborn and has deep feelings for the Lin City Police Force. Let me go back and do some ideological work on her."
Director Liu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to do the work! Don't I know what you're thinking? Maybe the girl was willing at first, but after you did the work, she refused to do it anymore." He smiled slightly and said, "Since both of you agree in principle, then wait for Xu Xu's opinion - I've sent someone to do her work."
——
Ji Bai stayed in the canteen of the provincial department to eat in the afternoon, feeling secretly resentful.
I don't want Xu Xu to go to the provincial department, but it's not entirely out of selfishness. Objectively speaking, Xu Xu has too little practical experience, and leaving the front line too early and returning to research work may not be good for her long-term development.
What's more, the relationship between the two has not been confirmed yet. Where is the provincial department? It gathers a considerable number of young men who have just graduated from the police academy, and there are more wolves than meat.
As soon as he sat down, he sent a text message under the table: "I will decide anything when I get back."
After waiting for a while, Xu Xu didn't reply.
He calmly put down his phone and ate a few bites of food. Then he heard Director Liu on the other side say to the director with a smile: "The two of you are quite suitable..."
Ji Bai raised his eyes and looked over with a smile: "What's appropriate?"
The director glanced at Ji Bai and said to Director Liu, "Xu Xu is very outstanding, and there are several young men in our bureau who are pursuing her. But as a leader, why are you interfering in the affairs of young people?"
Director Liu: "How can this be called meddling? You haven't met Qinglin, a very kind and upright boy. He and Xu Xu have been senior and junior brothers for three years, and they have had a very good relationship in the police academy." He laughed and said, "I also told him that as the saying goes, 'the one who is close to the water gets the moon first'. If he can't mobilize Xu Xu to come to the provincial department today, don't regret it in the future!"
After a while, Ji Bai stood up with a faint smile: "Two leaders, please eat slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Director Liu watched him leave and said to the director, "Why is he a little strange today?"
The director smiled and replied: "I'm afraid your Qinglin was born at the wrong time."
——
After Xu Xu and Big Hu Yao Meng returned to the Municipal Bureau, they have been busy with the follow-up work of the case. The criminal police team hadn't seen each other for many days and were particularly friendly and concerned about each other. Of course, there were people who had heard the news in advance - for example, Old Wu, who looked at Xu Xu and saw that she looked normal, so he smiled and said nothing.
The early summer sun is bright and the office is busy yet quiet. Xu Xu had just finished sorting out the last stack of documents when he looked up and saw a thin white figure beside the table.
Xu Xu was a little surprised: "Senior Brother."
Yang Qinglin was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers. He looked at her, his gaze fixed for a moment, and then he smiled gently, "Xu Xu, long time no see."
The criminal police team watched the two people quietly leave the office side by side. Da Hu asked, "Who is this person?"
Someone answered: "The leader from the provincial department wants to talk to Xu Xu."
Da Hu stood at the window, looked at the police compound downstairs, and said, "The leader was talking... why did he go into the woods?"
Zhao Han secretly sent a text message: "Boss, when will you be back?"
——
The sun was setting, and on the west side of the yard was a patch of sparse, beautiful trees, and behind the trees was a lush green meadow. Yang Qinglin and Xu Xu sat down on the grass and were quiet for a while.
"Brother, thank you and Director Liu for your attention." Xu Xu said, "But I will not consider transferring to the provincial department for the time being. Please apologize to Director Liu on my behalf. I have just arrived at the front line and I don't have much experience. I hope to accumulate more things. Otherwise, the research will be like water without a source, and I don't have the confidence to do it well."
Yang Qinglin looked at her serious and fair little face, as if she was still the eccentric little sister who was naive and did her own thing. But he always knew that beneath her taciturn appearance, she actually had a clean and pure heart. That is a unique love that others cannot understand. It seeps into his heart bit by bit, and only after years and months can you know how deeply it is engraved in his heart.
Yang Qinglin turned his gaze away from her face and looked at the large patch of soft green grass at his feet: "When you go to the provincial department, you can also participate in front-line investigations, and you will supervise major cases. In addition, I will also... do my best to create a suitable professional development and work environment for you."
Xu Xu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Thank you, Senior Brother, but I still don't want to go. I am now investigating a case with Ji Bai. He has a lot of criminal investigation experience and unique analytical thinking. I want to continue learning from him and don't want to give up halfway."
Yang Qinglin's poor articulation does not mean that his intuition is not sharp. Although his junior sister said this calmly and naturally without revealing any clues, he still inexplicably felt a trace of pain.
Ji Bai, Ji Bai, the best detective in this province. It is rumored that this young man from the capital, who has a distinguished family background, chooses to do the most arduous criminal investigation job, risking his life and being a brave man.
In the years when he stopped and retreated, wanting to make some achievements first, has a better man already touched her heart?
Yang Qinglin said softly: "Okay, I will tell Director Liu that when you feel that you have settled down in the front line, you are welcome to come to the provincial department at any time. In addition..." He turned his head and looked directly into her eyes: "I have another thing to ask you. I... I have been working hard in the past few years and I don't have a girlfriend. Are you willing to... be with me?
My personality may be rather boring and I am not good at interpersonal relationships, so I may not be able to provide you with particularly favorable living conditions. But I will keep working hard, and I have the confidence that I can support and manage my future family. I will also do my best to take care of you, love you, and always put you...first. ”
Xu Xu's heart was slightly shaken, and he looked at him quietly.
The phone suddenly rang. It was a text message from Ji Bai: "I will decide anything after I come back."
——
When Ji Bai returned to the office, it was already dark. The starlight was like broken jade spread out in the night. The huge office was silent. There was only a familiar slender figure sitting quietly at the desk. Hearing the noise, she looked up, her eyes as clear and dark as water, staring at him steadily.
Ji Bai also looked at her.
In fact, he knew that she would most likely not agree to go to the provincial department; he also knew that she would probably not accept her senior brother's kindness. But he still drove very fast for the first time and rushed all the way back to the police station.
When was the last time you drove so impatiently? When I was fifteen or sixteen, I raced around the Second Ring Road of Beijing late at night with a bunch of childhood friends. We came out on top but found it boring.
So what now? Why does my heart start to slowly heat up just by looking at her quiet face?
Was it because the light kiss on her hairline yesterday had already made him so excited that he could not control himself; or was it because he had been suppressing himself for too long, and after vaguely realizing that she was willing to respond, he could no longer remain silent and did not want to think about strategizing and making every move?
The one who is closest to the water gets the moon first. His tower has his moon.
He walked to her table and paused: "I have something to tell you."
Xu Xu was silent for a moment: "Me too."
——
Walked into Ji Bai's office and sat down face to face.
Xu Xu spoke first: "I will not go to the provincial office. I have already made it clear to my senior brother."
Ji Bai looked at her and nodded.
There was no smile on his handsome face, and his dark and deep eyes were fixed on her. He raised his hand, opened the drawer, took out a cigarette lighter, and lit one.
Xu Xu frowned: "Why did you smoke again?"
Ji Bai looked at her quietly through the thin smoke and said, "Xu Xu, I said that only my girlfriend can control me."
Hearing the same words now, Xu Xu's heartstrings seemed to be gently plucked.
Ji Bai changed the subject, his expression calm and composed: "So, I have been chasing you for so long, what do you think?"
Xu Xu could clearly feel his heart pounding in his chest, but... his logic was wrong.
"Since when have you been chasing me?"
Ji Bai raised his dark eyes and looked at her quietly.
He knew very well that everything he did was actually a bit like Jiang Taigong fishing and waiting for the bait to come his way. Because he wanted them to be in love with each other, he wanted her to be moved too.
However, he still replied calmly with a bit of a forced argument: "Accompany you in morning exercises every day, teach you how to shoot, let those guys call you sister-in-law... if that's not chasing you, what is it?"
Xu Xu felt the same slight dizziness as yesterday again. But the feeling today was even stronger, as if a piece of fermenting bread was stuffed in her chest, swelling sweetly.
She also felt a sense of satisfaction she had never felt before. This is completely different from the feeling when you achieve success in your studies or work. This kind of satisfaction is not calm and cool, but jumping and throbbing, which can stir people's hearts.
She let out a long breath, letting her heartbeat calm down.
"No need to chase."
Ji Bai had never expected her to respond like this, and his heart suddenly sank: "What do you mean?"
She looked him straight in the eyes: "I like you too, so there's no need to chase me."
——
The night is quiet and the lights are silent.
The two looked at each other quietly.
The smile was like a flame, burning quietly and deeply in Ji Bai's dark eyes: "Okay. I won't chase you anymore."
Xu Xu's face got a little hot from being stared at by him, but she still asked the question she was most concerned about, "So our relationship is officially confirmed, right?"
Ji Bai's smile deepened, and his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were tinged with an almost dazzling light under the lamp.
"Quite sure."
Xu Xu looked at him and smiled too. I don’t know what to say, and it seems like there’s nothing to say.
At this time, the phone rang at an inopportune time. Xu Xu picked it up absentmindedly: "Brother? What's the matter?"
Xu Jun hadn't seen his sister for a few days and missed her very much. He smiled and said on the other end of the phone: "Let's have dinner together tonight?"
Xu Xu looked up at Ji Bai, his eyes inquiring: "Tonight you..."
"Of course." Before she could finish, Ji Bai answered quickly and concisely.
So Xu Xu said to his brother: "Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."
Xu Jun heard the faint male voice on the phone, and his heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Who did you... make an appointment with?"
At this time, Ji Bai had already picked up his coat and walked over to open the door for Xu Xu. Xu Xu stood up, her calm voice still revealed a hint of joy: "Boyfriend. New one."
☆、36
The two went to a nearby restaurant in the downtown area.
It was rush hour after get off work, there were many people and we had to wait for a table. But after entering the restaurant, there are spacious dark red sofas and soft lights. The bright night scene is reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows. It is quiet in the midst of noise and full of the atmosphere of fireworks.
Xu Xu sat on the sofa at the side and took the menu from the waiter. She lowered her head and just flipped through a few pages when the sofa beside her sank slightly. A familiar warm breath surrounded her as if it was far away and near.
Ji Bai put their coats and bags on the opposite side and sat down by himself. One arm was resting on the sofa behind her, and he watched her order food leisurely.
For Xu Xu, since they were already boyfriend and girlfriend, physical intimacy was natural. Moreover, she still prefers Ji Bai's physical appearance. So she raised her eyes and smiled at him, then took the initiative to move a little closer to him.
Ji Bai suddenly laughed.
The two of them patiently looked at the menu together.
Ji Bai loves to eat sea bass. Xu Xu turned to that page and asked, "Master, should sea bass be steamed or braised?"
Ji Bai leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice: "What did you call me?"
Xu Xu looked at him sideways.
Recalling the names people around her used when they were dating, she thought the routines were probably all the same, so she spoke carefully: "Ji Bai? Honey? Ji Ji? Bai Bai? What do you prefer?"
Ji Bai smiled again.
After laughing, he gently prompted: "What did you call me in Beijing?"
Ji San Ge, Ji San, San Ge. He really liked her calling him that way. Her voice was soft and gentle, with a sense of dependence and tenderness in it, which made his heart feel itchy and comfortable.
Xu Xu said simply: "Third Brother Ji."
"Hey." Ji Bai immediately agreed softly, staring at her with a half-smile in his black eyes.
It was obviously a simple answer, but it made Xu Xu's face inexplicably hot. After flipping through the menu for a while, she suddenly realized: Ji Bai...the look and tone just now were flirting with her?
Really well tuned.
——
Xu Xu didn't hesitate for a long time like other girls when ordering food. Instead, she chose a few dishes quickly and asked Ji Bai, "Is it ok?"
She is strong and has a dominant attitude, as if she is the boyfriend.
Ji Bai answered yes of course - from now on, his girlfriend would take care of such a daily routine as eating, how comfortable and worry-free would that be?
What's more, she ordered what he liked to eat, what a tacit understanding.
However, when he mentioned this common point, she said calmly: "It's not tacit understanding. I have studied your hobbies."
These words really made Ji Bai feel comfortable. He looked up at her and smiled, "Oh? What are the research conclusions?"
——
Both of them enjoyed the meal very much. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Ji Bai sent Xu Xu downstairs of his house.
The night breeze is blowing gently, the lights in the community are soft and warm, and the shadows of the trees are swaying. The two stood face to face.
Although he liked the feeling of her always being with him, she had been on a business trip for days and there was a hint of fatigue in her brow. So Ji Bai said, "Go up, see you tomorrow."
Xu Xu nodded but didn't move.
He was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers. He looked down at her. Under the street light, he looked even taller and straighter, with a handsome and resolute face.
Xu Xu let his heartbeat speed up silently, stared into his eyes and said, "Yesterday in Xiangchuan County, when it was raining, did you..."
Before she could finish her words, her waist felt tighter and he reached out and pulled her into his arms. Xu Xu only caught a glimpse of the slightly upturned corners of his lips. He had already lowered his head, and his soft lips gently fell on the top of her head again.
His voice sounded particularly low and soft: "You mean... is this what you said?"
Xu Xu nodded silently. This was exactly the feeling.
"Thank you... I'll go upstairs then." Having achieved his goal, Xu Xu was satisfied. Unexpectedly, when she pushed him away, he did not let go, but instead held her tighter in his arms.
The two of them were tightly pressed together, hugging each other quietly for a while, and Xu Xu suddenly felt that Ji Bai's face seemed to be moving down a little bit along her hair and forehead.
It was so quiet around them, with only the sounds of their breathing seeming to be entangled together. She could even feel the straight nose touching her cheek, rubbing down gently... It was a very light touch, but it made Xu Xu's skin tense up with sensitivity.
At this time, Ji Bai had lowered his head, with his face completely level with hers. His deep black eyes looked at her very quietly, without a smile, and then his lips pressed up.
The man's breath was cool and warm, but his kiss was powerful. After pausing and rubbing her lips for a moment, his tongue then thrust forward firmly. This feeling was a little strange to Xu Xu, but she felt very comfortable and had a faint sense of excitement. She didn't know how to respond with her tongue, so she could only stand straight in his arms and slightly raise her face to make it easier for Ji Bai to ravage her lips.
Ji Bai's movements were indeed a bit forceful, and his strength was a bit heavy - after all, he had been longing for her lips for too long, and her breath was as fresh as expected. After absorbing it for a while, he felt slightly satisfied and then removed his lips.
The two of them stared at each other from close range. Ji Bai held her face with his big hands, and his slightly calloused fingers gently and silently stroked her soft skin.
"How do you feel?" Ji Bai's voice was very soft and hoarse, with a faint smile, and there seemed to be waves flowing in his black eyes, "Do you like me kissing you?"
Xu Xu thought: He is flirting with me again.
Nodding, he teased back: "It feels good... Third Brother Ji."
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, the smile on Ji Bai's lips suddenly deepened, and he kissed her again.
——
When Xu Xu entered the room, his lips were obviously a little swollen and his cheeks were also red. Because I hugged him a little too hard, his shirt was a little messy.
Xu Jun was alone tonight, so he only had some unpalatable takeout and went straight to his sister's apartment to wait. With his experience in love, what was there that he didn't understand when he looked at her expression? He felt a strong sense of relief and joy that "my daughter has grown up", but he was also a little dissatisfied with the man who kissed his sister like this - damn, it's only the first day, and they kissed? It's coming with great force.
As soon as Xu Xu came back, she took a shower and hummed a song while showering, which was rare for her. Xu Jun felt like a little claw was scratching his heart when he heard it. When she came out of the shower and sat on the sofa to blow dry her hair, Xu Juan said calmly, "You're making pretty fast progress. When will you bring it back so I can see it?"
Xu Xu nodded: "After a while, when I have made substantial progress with him, I will bring him back to see you."
Xu Jun's brows trembled slightly: "What does 'substantial progress' mean?"
Xu Xu replied: "The relationship is deeper and more stable."
Xu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and found himself a little funny.
After a while, the brother and sister both sat on the balcony, looking at the lights all over the city at night.
"Ji Bai." Xu Jun said, "He's from Beijing, 28 years old, joined the Lin City Criminal Police Team for 7 and a half years, has a great reputation for his achievements, and has a wide network of contacts in the police system. I can't find out, but I can roughly guess his family background. To be honest, this kind of family background may bring you pressure in the future."
Xu Xu replied: "He himself thinks family background is not important, why should I care?"
In Xu Jun's opinion, this answer is too idealistic and too childish. After a moment's silence, he asked, "You said that you are suitable for men with low-level skills. Although I haven't had in-depth contact with this Ji Bai, I can feel that he is not simple. Do you really think you can control him?"
Xu Xu was silent for a moment, then answered: "I used to hope that love, like work, could be under my control. But after falling in love, I realized that I didn't want to control him. He knows what I'm thinking, and I know what he wants. I can treat him well with all my heart, and that's what's most important."
——
As soon as he got to work the next day, Ji Bai went to the director's office first.
"Xu Xu and I have confirmed our relationship." He got straight to the point, "I came to inform you."
The director looked at him and answered slowly, "I have no objection to you dating, but you still have to be careful about the impact in the office."
Ji Bai smiled: "Of course. I have always kept my public and private affairs separate. The same is true for Xu Xu."
Before leaving, Ji Bai said, "Tell Director Liu about this. Let her be happy for me, too."
The director laughed and scolded: "You kid, kill them all!"
——
The two of them really had a tacit understanding and kept a low profile.
When the work bell rang, Ji Bai walked into his office with a sanctimonious and calm face; while Xu Xu did not look at him the whole day, and when he saw him, his tone and expression were indifferent: "Boss." Even more distant than before.
Everyone in the criminal police team had heard some rumors. Seeing the two of them like this, I was a little unsure. During lunch, Zhao Han secretly asked Lao Wu: "Did they blow it off?"
Old Wu laughed: "I don't have much vision, and this is it!"
——
There are no major cases in the city and the criminal police team is calm. The weekend came in a flash.
Ji Bai knew that the two of them were making rapid progress. They confirmed their relationship within a day and even kissed her.
But men... especially men who are unmarried and have matured physically and mentally for many years, always want more. It's not that I'm going to eat her alive right now, as she would definitely not like that and feel it was rude. He also hopes that every step the two of them take will be natural, solid and firm.
But asking her for more intimacy and tenderness is simply a man's instinct.
On Saturday morning, he cleaned up the house, prepared lyrical music, movie discs, food and red wine, and called Xu Xu with a refreshed mood: "Are you free today? Come to my house?"
Xu Xu smiled and replied: "Not going to your house. I have already arranged the location and content of today's date."
Ji Bai felt a little surprised and happy. The little guy seemed to be very concerned about this.
——
However, Ji Bai really didn't expect that Xu Xu would arrange the date at the police academy.
Looking at the solemn school buildings, tall trees, groups of police academy students running in unison, and the six-character iron-blooded school motto "Loyalty, Responsibility, Struggle" on the wall, Ji Bai smiled at Xu Xu who looked calm and asked, "What's the next plan?"
Visiting the school building? Education on Eight Honors and Eight Shames? Or go to the archives to check out the case files and improve your professional skills?
Neither.
Xu Xu brought him to the south side hall of the police academy library.
This is the place where the police academy usually uses to screen audio and video materials. It has seven or eight rows of seats and can accommodate at most forty or fifty people. Xu Xu took Ji Bai to sit in the middle row, took out popcorn and soda from under the seat and handed them to him. Then the lights dimmed and a flash of light appeared on the screen in front. Ji Bai was sure that Xu Xu had brought him here to watch a movie today.
The film shown was an American high-IQ crime movie with heavy and bloody content, which has not been publicly released in China. But it was very much to Ji Bai's taste, and Xu Xu of course stared at it intently.
After looking for a while, Ji Bai looked at the empty surroundings. Although it's the weekend today, I'm not alone.
"Why is there no one else?" Ji Bai stared at her and asked softly.
As expected, she gave him the answer he expected: "I asked my instructor yesterday to book the entire theater so that we could have a date." She turned around and continued to watch the movie seriously.
Ji Bai stared at her fair and calm little face in the light and shadow, and couldn't help but smile. After a while, he tilted his head and kissed her: "From now on, let your boyfriend do these things. You just need to make the request."

Finally, after watching the movie, Ji Bai got his wish and took her home.
After dinner, the two of them curled up on the sofa and watched TV. Ji Bai put his arm around her shoulders and asked, "As a boyfriend, can I make a request?"
Xu Xu had received a request from his brother not to have sex too early, so he asked seriously, "What request?"
Ji Bai: "It's a very simple request. You just need to move your feet."
Move your feet? Xu Xu thought about it and understood. Looking at his tall and strong body, I felt a little excited, but I didn't reject it. I answered, "Okay, I can try."
Ji Bai let go of her, stood up, and went into another room. Xu Xu took out his mobile phone and searched on Baidu for "Quick Learning of Back Stepping" and "Introduction to Back Stepping Skills". He also took off his shoes and waited barefoot.
She read it quickly and got a rough idea. At this time, Ji Bai came back, holding a pair of familiar blue stiletto sandals. Seeing her bare feet, he smiled faintly: "You guessed it."
Xu Xu looked at the shoes in his hand and nodded: "... Yeah, I guessed it."
After changing his shoes, Xu Xu frowned as he did last time: "I still think they are just average."
Ji Bai stared at her feet intently and replied, "Okay, take them off."
Xu Xu had heard his brother's theory about women's dressing last time, and he roughly guessed that Ji Bai might like this style. So I asked directly: "Have you seen enough?"
Ji Bai didn't answer, he picked up his shoes and put them back into the house.
enough? Of course not enough. It’s just that slender, white and tender little feet, the more I look at them, the more attractive they become and the more addictive they become. It’s only been a few days since they were first seen. I can't watch this any longer.

This summer is hot, calm and ordinary for most people in Lin City.
For Xu Xu and Ji Bai, there was a sweet and tempting thrill in their lives.
