Xu Yao looked up and saw his master He Shenming standing beside him with a gloomy face.

"Master, it's rare to see you in the cafeteria, why did you sneak here?" Why

did He Shenming come here? He just saw a sad and unhappy figure when he passed by the cafeteria, so he had to come over.

He Shenming knew his apprentice's character best. When Xu Yao smoked one cigarette after another, he must have encountered some difficulties that he couldn't solve.

In the past one or two days since Xu Yao came back, he would come to the office from time to time. It was obvious that Xu Yao was in a very bad condition.

After returning from Longhai City, He Shenming had seen his apprentice hiding in a place and smoking one cigarette after another more than once or twice.

He Shenming sat opposite Xu Yao and asked meaningfully:

"Xiao Xu, I could feel that you were worried when you came back from Longhai City. Can you tell Master about it, or can I help you?"

Xu Yao looked up at He Shenming, but lowered his head and remained silent.

He Shenming had no way to deal with his beloved disciple, so the two grown men glared at each other without saying anything.

But Xu Yao couldn't help it and said, "Master, you said that people like me don't deserve happiness, right?"

"What the hell are you thinking? Everyone has the right to be happy, Xiao Xu. Don't blame yourself for all the misfortunes in the past, maybe it was just an accident."

"Master, it can't be an accident?" Xu Yao's brows wrinkled even deeper.

"If I say it's an accident, then it's an accident!" He Shenming stood up and slapped the table.

"It seems that the psychological counselor didn't work, or you just ran away. I will call there to verify. If you really escaped temporarily, I will tie you up even if I have to."

"Master, I really don't think I need to do any psychological counseling. I don't have any disease at all."

He Shenming didn't intend to listen to Xu Yao's explanation. He turned around and just said, "Listen to me in a few days. You've been tired these days, so don't work overtime today. Go back and have a rest."

After Xu Yao returned home, he sat on the sofa and didn't want to move. After being scolded by his master, he was extremely depressed. He

had never felt so tired and so lonely. In his mind   , he kept thinking about

the scene where Mo Xiaoqing was sitting opposite Li Tianfeng with a smile on her face, and they were having dinner with each other. Xu Yao shook his head repeatedly, trying to calm down. The more he tried not to think about it, the more he thought about it.   It was 7:10, they should have finished dinner, right?   At 8:30, Xu Yao couldn't help but think again: Has Li Tianfeng sent the little one home?   Finally, at 9 o'clock, he couldn't help but make a phone call.   After a few beeps, the other end picked up the phone. When he heard Mo Xiaoqing's familiar voice, Xu Yao's heart was pounding, and he was a little overwhelmed.   "Captain Xu, you called me so late, what's the matter?"   "Where are you now?"   "Oh, Li Tianfeng invited me to the mall after dinner." Mo Xiaoqing received the call and thought Xu Yao had something important to tell him, so she asked again:   "Captain Xu, is there something at work?"   Xu Yao was so angry that he wanted to yell into the phone: You bastard, can't I call you if it's not about work? !   He didn't say it out loud, but suddenly he had an idea, touched his head, and deliberately yelled loudly.   Sure enough, Mo Xiaoqing's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone, "Captain Xu, what's wrong with you?"   Xu Yao took a few breaths and said in a trembling voice, "It's nothing, I just have a terrible headache. I wanted to ask you, if you have time, could you go to the pharmacy to buy me a box of medicine and send it over?"   When he heard Mo Xiaoqing's extremely urgent voice asking for resignation from Li Tianfeng, he couldn't help but smile.   When Mo Xiaoqing heard Xu Yao say that he had a severe headache, she was completely panicked. She had no interest in strolling around here in the breeze, so she bravely asked for leave:   "Li Tianfeng, I'm sorry, I may have something urgent to do now and I have to leave first. How about I treat you to a meal next time as an apology?"   "You seemed to have answered Xu Yao's call just now. It's so late, do you still have a mission?"   Mo Xiaoqing's eyes flashed, she licked her lips and lied, "Yes, the Xu team just called me and said that there was the latest development of the case and asked me to go over quickly."   Naturally, Li Tianfeng had no reason to refuse Mo Xiaoqing, a policeman, to go back to work. He spread his hands with a helpless look in his eyes,   "That can't be helped. We'll make an appointment next time. How about I take you there?"   When he said this, Mo Xiaoqing had already turned around and ran towards the exit. She turned back and showed a brilliant smile,   "Li Tianfeng, thank you for your hospitality today."   Looking at Mo Xiaoqing's gradually receding back, Li Tianfeng stood on the busy street, smiling, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.   Mo Xiaoqing bought four or five kinds of headache medicine in the pharmacy and rushed to Xu Yao's residence.   Xu Yao, who had been waiting in the room in boredom, felt that time was passing too slowly and was too boring, and couldn't help but take out his cigarette and smoke.   It was only an hour, and there were already four or five cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table.   Suddenly the doorbell rang. Xu Yao, holding a cigarette in his mouth, walked slowly to open the door. He didn't think that Mo Xiaoqing would abandon her date to bring him medicine.   When he opened the door, his eyes were full of surprise. It had only been an hour since he called Mo Xiaoqing, but Mo Xiaoqing was standing at the door of his house, breathing heavily. Her little face was frozen red, especially the tip of her nose, like Santa Claus.   Before Xu Yao could speak, Mo Xiaoqing asked nervously, "Captain Xu, are you feeling better now? I don't know which medicine you want. I have chosen four or five kinds of medicine for headaches."

When she exhaled and looked up at Xu Yao, who was holding a cigarette in his hand and staring at her calmly, Mo Xiaoqing was a little confused about the situation.

"Captain Xu, doesn't he have a headache? Why is he still smoking?"

Although she knew that it was not her job as a small assistant to control Captain Xu's smoking, Mo Xiaoqing had to take care of things that threatened life and health.

She ran over and snatched the cigarette from Xu Yao's hand.

"Captain Xu, I know I am not qualified to control your smoking, but you have to be responsible for your own health."

Mo Xiaoqing walked into the living room and began to mutter about the harm of smoking:

"Captain Xu, let me tell you, tobacco contains many substances that are harmful to the human body. These harmful substances also need to be detoxified in the liver. Therefore, when smoking, the burden on the liver increases, affecting the function of the liver. Tobacco contains a variety of harmful substances that can block the recovery of liver function and increase the chance of developing cancer in the mouth, throat, esophagus and kidney. Research results also show that smoking is closely related to liver cancer."

Mo Xiaoqing was talking fluently, she turned into Baidu Encyclopedia, Xu Yao quickly interrupted her,

"Okay, you win, I quit smoking, isn't it okay for me to quit smoking?

If you see me smoking in any occasion in the future, just fine me a hundred yuan."
