Chapter 67 Just Say So
Episode 66 Just Say Yes
I went to see Jerry again and asked him about Tang Li.
This question made me realize that I had missed the opportunity.
Jerry was brainwashed by Fu Lin and successfully treated me as Tang Li's twin brother. He couldn't even breathe smoothly when he said "Tang Li died in the sea of fire".
"I didn't expect that you would transfer to the special forces team just to find your brother. Captain Cui, it must have been very hard for you to find him, right?"
He choked up, "Please accept my condolences."
Looking at his sadness which didn't seem fake, I could only think that Jerry was indeed not familiar with Tang Li.
There was a TV show in the past where a wife who had lived with her husband for many years came back with a mole removed and the husband couldn’t recognize her. Not to mention, Tang Li and Jerry didn't get along much to begin with.
“…”
I fell into a state of confusion again.
Just when I didn't know how to deal with the next issue of getting along with each other, they suggested leaving. He Qisi accidentally helped me to speak up, which gave me another opportunity to contact them——
As a friend of Fu Lin, He Qisi invited them to have a simple meal in the cafeteria.
I was thinking, I haven’t really been to the police station’s cafeteria… No, I mean, I was thinking about how to make friends with Fu Lin, Shang Hexing and the others.
Um!
*
"Li Zhi", He Qisi and Jerry all went to help get the food.
Shang Hexing, Fu Lin and I sat on chairs waiting for food. However, it was clear that neither of them was particularly interested in chatting with me. I kept my eyes fixed on the two of them, one was looking at the ceiling, the other was looking at the exit, and neither of them had any intention of talking to me.
I held my chin up and started thinking about how to break the ice between the two of them.
Now it seems that I am not very suitable to be a bridge between the two of them.
If I had known, I should have given a signal from the beginning, hinting to them that I was an acquaintance, Tang Li.
However, if Tang Li really showed up in the police station, it would be a huge shock to them, right? They would still prefer to accept that Tang Li has a twin brother in the police station.
Doesn't this make me look stupid for worrying about the reunion in the first place?
Am I really that stupid?
I couldn't help but question myself.
I don't know when the voice of "Li Zhi" appeared.
He quickly echoed me, “You’re too meticulous. You’ve been too considerate and careful, so you’re a little disappointed when you find that you can’t use even one percent of your ideas.” After he said this, he took out the spoon from the bag, put it in the fig oatmeal yogurt bowl, and handed it to me.
These words touch my heart.
I immediately affirmed his words, "What you said makes sense."
"Li Zhi" handed me a napkin seriously, "Don't worry about these useless little things. You must be hungry now, why don't you eat something delicious to cheer yourself up?"
I lowered my head and started eating the bowl of yogurt - it was indeed a system that had figured out my preferences perfectly. I didn’t quite like the fact that the figs on top were freeze-dried fruit instead of the soft, sweet fresh fruit. However, when freeze-dried fruit is paired with oatmeal yogurt, the taste has an extra crispy feeling. Yogurt is also my favorite flavor, not too sour or sweet, not too thick or too thin. It has just the right texture and a satisfying feeling of fullness.
For me, this is a healing experience for both body and mind.
Before I had even taken two bites, I finally noticed the quiet area except for "Li Zhi".
He Qisi stared at me coldly, then looked at "Li Zhi" with caring eyes, "Li Zhi, you usually like to eat desserts. Why don't you buy some for yourself? Do you want me to bring you one?"
"Li Zhi" didn't hesitate and refused directly, "No thanks."
The system doesn't really need to eat, and I can't eat two servings.
Besides, I enjoyed my meal, so wasn’t “Li Zhi” happy too?
I advised He Qisi in my heart that he didn't need to do so much.
As I was thinking about this, "Li Zhi" also watched me eat and said, "Seeing him eat happily makes me feel satisfied."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt Jerry next to me suddenly get cold, shivered, and moved unconsciously on the bench, but it didn't last long. He stood up in silence and left.
I looked at his back as he left, not knowing what he was doing. I looked down at my yogurt bowl and continued to chomp.
I can eat as much as I want without having to look at other people's eyes, and there are people who protect me and say good things about me. Isn't this happy?
Don’t you think so?
Just say so!
After dinner, a new idea came to me.
Although it was unnecessary, I still asked for "Li Zhi"'s contact information.
My current identity is not suitable to be a bridge, but "Li Zhi" can. I can spend more time with him, convey my ideas to him, and facilitate the ice-breaking plan between Shang Hexing and Fu Lin.
"If we have time, we can have something to eat together in the mall," I took the initiative.
Many things can only be eaten more when two people eat together.
It will definitely be fun.
Looking forward to it!
"Li Zhi" also responded to me, "I will look forward to it."
Shang Hexing: “…”
Fu Lin: “…”
He Qisi: “…”
Jerry: "...You two have such a good relationship. I'm a little envious."
