Chapter 149 I...can't promise you
The DNA test results between the deceased and Guo Nian were finally rushed out, and the two were confirmed to be parent-child.
The source of the corpse in this case has been identified, and the next key task is to bring the murderer Li Liya to justice.
Ye Bai said: "Li Liya's wanted picture has long been posted online, and notices have been posted on various streets, but there has been no movement in the past few days. It's as if she has evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace."
Han Jianye frowned slightly and said firmly: "Looking back at the wanted criminals in the past, some of them could not bear the pressure and eventually came back to turn themselves in; or they were recognized by the public and reported. But a woman with deep scheming like Li Liya will never come back to turn herself in easily."
In the evening, Han Jianye treated everyone to a midnight snack.
Qi Xiaolei immediately raised her hand, "Captain Han, there's a beef hotpot restaurant on Jixi Road, let's go eat there."
Han Jianye didn't care what to eat. Seeing that no one had any objections, he said, "Then listen to Xiaolei and go eat beef hotpot."
"That's great." Qi Xiaolei was the first to nod in agreement.
(*^▽^*)Hahahaha...
However, when they arrived at the hot pot restaurant, they found that the restaurant was booming and crowded.
The store had no choice but to arrange them at an open-air dining table at the door.
Ye Bai sat at the table, drinking orange juice silently.
Liao Wei poured him a glass of beer, but he didn't want to drink it.
Ye Bai didn't want anyone to know that he couldn't drink, so he pretended nothing happened.
While everyone was concentrating on eating the beef, Ye Bai quietly picked up the plastic cup and poured the beer to his feet.
Han Jianye was chewing the tender beef when he suddenly felt something wet under his feet.
(_)
He was slightly stunned, and when he looked down, he found that the beer in Ye Bai's right hand was pouring into his shoes and socks continuously.
But Ye Bai seemed unaware of it and continued to eat beef calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Bai carefully put the plastic cup back on the dining table, and suddenly felt a sharp gaze staring at him.
He turned his head slightly, and his eyes met Han Jianye's unexpectedly, and the two looked at each other.
Han Jianye's gaze swept down to his feet again. Ye Bai's heart tightened and an ominous premonition instantly came to his mind.
He subconsciously followed Han Jianye's gaze and looked under the table.
!!!∑(Дノ)ノ
Ye Bai's face turned red instantly. He was horrified to find that the beer he had just poured out had soaked Han Jianye's shoes and socks.
At this moment, Ye Bai felt so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He didn't dare to look directly at Han Jianye.
However, Han Jianye just chuckled and did not get angry on the spot. He looked at Ye Bai coldly, as if waiting for his explanation.
Ye Bai took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to look directly at Han Jianye. An expression of "I'm sorry, I was wrong" appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of apology and regret.
When it was time to pay the bill, Han Jianye still sat in his seat and did not get up.
He looked at Ye Bai, handed him the wallet, and said calmly: "You go and pay the bill."
Ye Bai knew that Han Jianye was hinting at him to take responsibility, so he silently took the wallet and obediently walked to the cashier.
When he paid the bill and returned to the table, he found that everyone else had left, leaving Han Jianye alone sitting there with a stern look on his face.
Ye Bai handed the wallet back to Han Jianye and said softly, "Wait for me here. I'll go drive."
Han Jianye just said "hmm". He really didn't want to walk now. The wet shoe on his left foot made him feel like he was wearing a pair of water shoes. Every step he took was extremely uncomfortable.
After Ye Bai drove the car over, Han Jianye took out a pair of slippers from the trunk and changed his wet leather shoes.
He raised his head and said with a teasing tone: "Ye Bai, you are really good. You are still so generous when drinking?"
Ye Bai looked apologetic and whispered, "I'm sorry, this is my problem. I'll buy you a pair of shoes."
Han Jianye snorted coldly: "I have plenty of shoes, it would be better if you compensate me with yours."
Ye Bai smiled helplessly: "Captain Han, stop joking."
Han Jianye glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but his tone was still serious: "I'm not kidding you, you don't have to compensate for the shoes, you just need to pledge your love to me."
Ye Bai's face instantly turned red. He waved his hands helplessly and said, "Stop it, Captain Han!"
"Whoever makes trouble with you, I think you are pretty good."
Ye Bai sat in the driver's seat, staring straight at Han Jianye, and asked in a low voice with a hint of tentativeness: "You... like me?"
Han Jianye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled coldly, and said with a hint of contempt: "It's fine if you can't see it, but you can't even feel this?"
In fact, Ye Bai also vaguely sensed something in his heart, but he always felt that Han Jianye was deliberately teasing him.
So he lowered his head silently, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice: "So, you are..."
"I'm not." Han Jianye interrupted him, but his tone was still calm, as if he was stating a very ordinary fact, "I never easily define my sexual orientation. For me, only the eye contact and feeling are the most important. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, no matter how good the conditions are, if they still don't catch my eye, then it's meaningless."
Han Jianye's words came so suddenly that Ye Bai stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
After a moment, he just sighed softly and whispered: "I'm sorry, I...I can't promise you."
Han Jianye felt as if a needle had pierced his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mood, "It's okay, it takes time to accept this fact, I understand."
After returning home, the two fell into a brief silence before returning to each other's rooms.
Han Jianye lay in bed, but he couldn't sleep at all.
The confession just now was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, making his heart uneasy for a long time.
He felt that he was destined to have sleepless night.
After taking a shower, Han Jianye sat alone on the sofa in the living room and silently lit a cigarette.
Smoke swirled before his eyes. He turned to look at the closed door, feeling annoyed.
At the same time, Ye Bai stood in front of the window, looking at the night outside, and his mind kept replaying Han Jianye's words and behaviors towards him during this period.
He had noticed it a long time ago, but had never been willing to admit it.
Now that they've confessed their feelings to each other, he feels that living together again will only be more awkward.
So Ye Bai took a deep breath, plucked up the courage, opened the door and walked out.
At this moment, the two people's eyes met in the air.
Ye Bai clenched his hands tightly, as if he had made a great decision, and his voice trembled slightly: "I want to move out."
Han Jianye looked at Ye Bai deeply, with complex emotions hidden in his eyes, as if he had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.
After a long silence, he smiled softly, his tone unexpectedly gentle: "Okay, you decide for yourself, I won't force you."
( . ) ah! !
Ye Bai stood there in a daze. He didn't expect Han Jianye to agree so readily and not even mention their previous agreement.
"I'm sorry." Ye Bai had nothing else to say except these three words at this moment.
Han Jianye curled his lips and smiled, "What's there to be sorry about? If you want to move out, just move out."
Seeing this, Ye Bai said nothing more, turned around and went back to his room.
