Chapter 67 Hidden Rules 12 Standing Still
Chapter 12
Yue Fanglin picked up one, peeled it and put it in his mouth. "It's quite sweet and feels fresh."
Kou Lang said, "This is Thai longan. It's been two or three days since it was shipped from there to our hands. It's not fresh anymore. If you have time next summer, you can come and visit me. I'll take you to have a good time in Fancheng."
"Okay, I'll come and play with you when I have time."
Kou Lang patted Xiao Li on the shoulder and said, "Don't just focus on eating. Take care of your colleagues in the serious crime team." Then he said to Yue Fanglin, "You guys eat some fruit and drink some tea first. I'll go check on the dishes in the kitchen."
"good."
Xiao Li stood up and made tea for Lu Changfeng and the others.
Jing Jue and Zhou Yu sat aside eating longan, while Lu Changfeng was looking at his phone.
Not long after, the waiter came in to help clear the table and prepare to serve the food.
Roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, scallion chicken, steamed fish, blanched shrimp, a golden suckling pig...it makes people drool just by looking at them.
Kou Lang followed the waiter in and put a few bottles of wine on the table.
Yue Fanglin looked at the table full of delicious dishes and said, "I'm sorry to have cost you so much."
"What are you talking about?" Kou Lang took the wine glass and poured the wine.
Yue Fanglin stopped him and said, "Don't drink. We have to go back to Yancheng early tomorrow morning. Besides, we have to drive on the way back."
Kou Lang said, "I will make sure you don't miss anything. You don't have to worry about driving. I have arranged everything. After dinner, someone will be responsible for driving you home safely."
Kou Lang distributed the wine to several people, "I don't know when we will see each other again. This meal is both a celebration and a farewell party. On behalf of the police station, I want to thank you for your hard work during this period."
Yue Fanglin picked up the wine glass and said, "Since you said so, I won't refuse this wine. If we talk about hard work, it's your local police who have worked the hardest. It's our serious crime team that has to thank you for your cooperation and efforts, which enabled us to solve the case so quickly."
The meal was a very pleasant one and everyone drank some wine.
Kou Lang arranged for his two cousins to take everyone back to the city to rest.
Yue Fanglin, Lu Changfeng and Zhou Yu were all still sober. Two or three glasses of wine were nothing to them. But Jing Jue was different. He seldom drank. At this moment, his face was flushed and he leaned against the car window frame dizzily, feeling the cold wind.
"Little brother, when we get to the city, please find a convenience store or a drugstore to stop for a while. I'll go buy a bottle of water." Yue Fanglin saw that Jing Jue's condition was not good, so he wanted to let him drink some water to relieve his stress.
"Okay." Kou Lang's cousin agreed.
After entering the city and stopping at a convenience store, Yue Fanglin got out to buy some water and asked Lu Changfeng and Zhou Yu, "Do you want anything?"
"See if there are any mints. Let Jing Jue hold them in his mouth. It might help."
"good."
Yue Fanglin walked to the convenience store and bought only water since there were no mints.
Lu Changfeng took the opened water and fed it to Jing Jue, "Je Jue, drink some water."
Jing Jue took a sip and shook his head, "No." Then he closed his eyes and leaned against the car window.
Lu Changfeng asked: "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
"It's OK, just a little dizzy."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be in any particular discomfort, Lu Changfeng said, "We're almost there. If you're really in severe pain, I'll go to the hospital with you."
"No need." Jing Jue said, "Just take a rest for a while. It may be because he drank and is staggering."
When Kou Lang's cousin took them to the guesthouse, Jing Jue's condition had improved. After getting out of the car, Lu Changfeng reached out to support him, worried that he could not stand steadily.
Yue Fanglin said goodbye to Kou Lang's cousin and turned to look at Jing Jue, "How are you? Are you okay? If not, I'll take you to the hospital."
Jing Jue said, "Just take a nap and you'll be fine."
Lu Changfeng was still worried, so he said to Yue Fanglin, "Captain Yue, you and Xiao Zhou take Jing Jue upstairs first. I'll go to the nearby pharmacy to buy some hangover medicine."
"I'll go buy it, you keep it to take care of Jing Jue." Yue Fanglin said as he began to search for a nearby pharmacy. It wasn't too far, only about 500 meters away, and just two blocks back.
Lu Changfeng brought Jing Jue back to the room and helped Jing Jue lie down.
He turned and went into the bathroom, wet a towel and wiped Jing Jue's face.
The coolness of the towel made Jing Jue sober up a lot. He saw Lu Changfeng looking at him tenderly, and somehow he held Lu Changfeng's hand and then closed his eyes.
Lu Changfeng realized what he was thinking and tried to pull his hand back, but Jing Jue held on even tighter.
Jing Jue and Zhou Yu live together, and Zhou Yu is still in the room, so Lu Changfeng can't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu was squatting and packing his luggage and did not see this scene.
Lu Changfeng pulled his hand back forcefully, and Jing Jue's face was full of disappointment.
"Stay with me for a while." Jing Jue said in a hoarse voice, his eyes pleading.
Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yu stood up with his clothes and said, "Captain Lu, I'm going to your room to take a shower." It would be inconvenient for him to stay here.
Lu Changfeng handed the room card to Zhou Yu.
The next second after the door closed, Jing Jue grabbed Lu Changfeng's hand again and pressed it against his face. Lu Changfeng tried to pull it out several times but failed. Jing Jue's grip was very strong, so he had no choice but to let Jing Jue do it.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Jing Jue opened his eyes, with some displeasure in his eyes.
Lu Changfeng looked towards the door and saw that the person outside did not push the door open. He pulled his hand back, but Jing Jue didn't want to let go. Lu Changfeng gave Jing Jue a warning with his eyes, and Jing Jue reluctantly let go.
Lu Changfeng stood up and walked towards the door. Yue Fanglin was outside the door and handed the medicine to Lu Changfeng, "It's hangover medicine. There's an instruction manual inside."
"Thanks."
Yue Fanglin shook his head and asked, "Is Jing Jue okay?"
"It's okay. I just wiped his face. He's much more sober now."
"That's fine."
Lu Changfeng reminded Yue Fanglin, "Zhou Yu is taking a bath in our bathroom."
"good."
After Lu Changfeng fed the medicine to Jing Jue, he said, "Just sleep peacefully tonight and take a shower tomorrow morning. I should also go back to my room. Zhou Yu will be back to rest soon."
Jing Jue pulled Lu Changfeng and didn't want to let him go. "When we go on business trips in the future, can we stay in the same room?"
"No." Lu Changfeng rejected him without thinking.
Jing Jue had a look of loss on his face. He turned over and lay on his side, ignoring Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng turned around and walked out, but before he reached the door, Jing Jue hugged him from behind and pressed him against the door, unable to move.
Lu Changfeng couldn't understand where Jing Jue got so much strength from. He was also very strong, but he couldn't break free.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Changfeng opened his eyes wide in horror.
While Lu Changfeng was still dazed, Jing Jue turned Lu Changfeng around, and their eyes met. The next second, he lowered his head and kissed him.
Anyway, he was drunk, and alcohol makes cowards brave, so just treat him as if he was just acting crazy.
Zhou Yu might come back at any time. Lu Changfeng stepped on Jing Jue with all his strength, but he didn't expect that Jing Jue still held him tightly and was unwilling to let go even though he endured the pain.
"Jing Jue, don't be like this..."
"What?" Jing Jue kissed Lu Changfeng madly, wishing he could swallow him into his stomach. Lu Changfeng's lips were numb from the kisses.
Lu Changfeng couldn't help but think that maybe it was a mistake for him to accept the transfer order.
When Jing Jue wanted to take a step closer, Lu Changfeng bit Jing Jue and took advantage of Jing Jue's panic to push him back several steps.
The smell of blood spread in Jing Jue's mouth. He looked at Lu Changfeng who was leaning against the door. After seeing the anger on his face, his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move.
Lu Changfeng quickly opened the door and left.
The cool breeze blowing from the corridor alleviated his restless mood a little.
Inside the house, Jing Jue weakly returned to the bed and lay down. Sometimes I feel that I am very close to Lu Changfeng, and sometimes I feel very far away.
It's okay.
Jing Jue closed his eyes and comforted himself: It’s okay.
Lu Changfeng stood in the corridor to calm down for a while. When he returned to the door of his room, he remembered that he had just given the room card to Zhou Yu.
He could only knock on the door.
Yue Fanglin came over to open the door and saw Lu Changfeng outside. He was a little puzzled, "I thought you would be in Jing Jue's room tonight to take care of him."
"He's asleep." Lu Changfeng walked into the room and went straight to his bed. "I haven't packed my luggage yet."
"There's no need to be so anxious. Your flight is at around 11 o'clock tomorrow, so you'll still have time to pack it up tomorrow." Yue Fanglin sat back on the bed.
"Let's go to the airport together." Lu Changfeng packed his luggage in silence.
Soon Zhou Yu finished his shower, came out of the bathroom, said hello to Lu Changfeng, and returned to his room.
Yue Fanglin asked Lu Changfeng: "Do you want to wash first or should I?"
"You wash first, and I'll wash after I'm done tidying up."
Yue Fanglin hummed.
When Lu Changfeng was left alone, he sat on the bed, his mind full of the kiss just now.
This was not the first time he and Jing Jue kissed. Lu Changfeng didn't know why, but every time they were living a peaceful life, Jing Jue would do something to put them in an awkward situation.
Fortunately, I will be able to see Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang tomorrow and return to a familiar place.
Tell Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang, and maybe the problem can be solved.
Lu Changfeng didn't sleep well all night and was yawning because he was sleepy.
Yue Fanglin asked Lu Changfeng: "Are you too excited to sleep because you are homesick?"
Lu Changfeng smiled, which was considered as his agreement.
He couldn't say that he couldn't sleep because he was too irritated by Jing Jue's forceful kiss.
Several people dragged their suitcases to the police station to say goodbye to the criminal investigation team and were told that Kou Lang was waiting for them downstairs.
Kou Lang parked the car downstairs and took them to the airport.
Yue Fanglin was very surprised, "Why did you deliver it in person?"
Kou Lang said, "I don't have anything to do today. Let's go. I'll take you there. There will be a traffic jam on the road soon."
All the way to the airport, Jing Jue didn't talk much to Lu Changfeng. Even Kou Lang felt that Jing Jue was not in a good state and asked him what was wrong.
Jing Jue made up a random excuse.
Kou Lang repeatedly told them to come to Fancheng to visit him when they had time.
Yue Fanglin and Zhou Yu boarded the plane back to Yancheng, Kou Lang also returned to the city, leaving only Jing Jue and Lu Changfeng waiting to board the plane.
Jing Jue leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, not speaking to Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng opened his phone from time to time to reply to messages. The people from the Serious Crime Squad knew that he was returning to Yancheng today, and they said that they should get together tonight to welcome him. The group was very lively.
After boarding the plane, Jing Jue was also very silent.
The plane landed at Chuncheng Airport. After getting off the plane, Lu Changfeng asked Jing Jue, "What are the arrangements?"
After a while, Jing Jue said, "No arrangements."
"Come home with me?"
Jing Jue didn't reply.
Lu Changfeng made the decision: "It's decided."
Jing Jue hummed.
Qiu Shaoyang was standing at the exit holding a bouquet of flowers to greet them. When he saw Lu Changfeng from a distance, he waved at him, walked closer, and handed the flowers to Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng took it and asked, "Why did you prepare flowers for me?"
Qiu Shaoyang said, "Of course I hope you'll be in a good mood the moment you step foot on this land." He then saw another person following behind him. Judging from his age, it must be Jing Jue. Qiu Shaoyang raised his chin and said, "Why don't you introduce him to me?"
Jing Jue and Qiu Shaoyang had never met before, but they knew each other.
Lu Changfeng pulled Jing Jue to his side, "Jing Jue."
Qiu Shaoyang extended his hand politely: "I've heard of your name for a long time."
Jing Jue also extended his hand and shook hands lightly with Qiu Shaoyang, "I have long heard of Consultant Qiu's great name."
Qiu Shaoyang smiled and said, "I am no longer a criminal investigation consultant. Just call me Brother Qiu."
Qiu Shaoyang handed the key to Lu Changfeng, "I've had someone clean your house. I'll make sure it's exactly the same as when you left."
"Thank you." Lu Changfeng took it and put it in his pocket. "It's quite cold in Chuncheng today."
"It rained the past two days, and you happened to come back today, so it's a sunny day today." Qiu Shaoyang pulled Lu Changfeng's luggage over: "The car is outside, so let's not stand here."
Several people walked outside, and Jing Jue followed behind them.
Qiu Shaoyang asked Lu Changfeng in a low voice, "What step are you at now?"
“Standing still.”
