Jiang Xuxu had dealt with several things in succession after returning from Beijing. Not to mention that the two of them had hardly seen each other, Jiang Xuxu himself hadn't even had a good rest.
Although he knew that she was anxious to find clues about the other world, Chu Beihe still didn't want her to put herself too much pressure.
"Is the matter settled?" Chu Beihe asked her.
Jiang Xuxu looked down at the turtle in his hand, his eyelids drooping slightly.
“I guess so.”
The issue at Haida University was resolved, but she was unable to get any clues from Qiao Yu.
Her voice was normal, but Chu Beihe still detected a hint of depression on her face.
After staring at her for two seconds, Chu Beihe suddenly spoke.
"Give me two minutes."
After he finished speaking, he raised his leg and went straight into the room where Qiao Yu was imprisoned.
Chu Beihe was a member of the Security Bureau General Administration, so the guard outside quickly let him in, and Chu Beihe came to the room where Qiao Yu was.
The people inside looked at him with confusion at first, and soon, the surprise in their eyes grew bigger and bigger.
"Who are you……"
Chu Beihe said nothing and walked straight up to the other person.
Jiang Xuxu stood outside the corridor, wondering what Chu Beihe wanted to talk to Qiao Yu about. The next second, he heard Qiao Yu's screams from inside.
She was startled and subconsciously wanted to go in, but quickly suppressed the urge.
I stood there and waited for a minute and a half, and exactly two minutes later, Chu Beihe came out.
Compared to before, his sleeves were slightly rolled up this time, revealing a section of his forearm with smooth skin.
While casually adjusting his sleeves with one hand, he said to Jiang Xuxu,
"Let's go."
Jiang Xuxu took a look inside and asked, "Did you hit him?"
Chu Beihe looked normal, "I just used some simple interrogation techniques."
Jiang Xuxu said with understanding, "Did you find out what you asked?"
Chu Beihe said, "No, I will interrogate him a few more times. When the time is right, you can ask him again."
Jiang Xuxu: ...
Is this the interrogation technique?
Well, I feel fine.
So she nodded seriously, "Okay."
The two walked out side by side, and only the system turtle, who had listened to their conversation throughout, quietly peeked out.
The system first looked up at the two of them, then turned its head to look at the door at the end of the corridor. After a long while, it withdrew its gaze and slowly retracted its head into its shell.
…
Because Chu Beihe came over, Jiang Xuxu stopped worrying about Qiao Yu.
After the two got in the car, Chu Beihe reported a restaurant address. Seeing Jiang Xuxu looking at him, he just said,
"It's almost time for dinner, let's go eat."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Xuxu discovered that it was a couple's theme restaurant. The prices were not particularly high, but the decoration was very romantic, and each seat in the restaurant had a different theme.
Chu Beihe booked a box with a metaphysics theme.
It is said that this private room was specially designed after the broadcast of "Inspiration" because the restaurant owner is a loyal viewer of "Inspiration". After the variety show ended, he renovated such a private room in his own restaurant.
Although it is a metaphysical theme, the box is decorated in a way that is not at all intrusive.
The Chinese-style box has a whole glass wall with Taoist French written on it with a brush. At first glance, it has the flavor of a Chinese ink painting room.
Next to it is a long display table, on which are placed a number of Taoist magic tools, but in order not to look scary, they are all made in miniature sizes.
For example, a miniature peach wood sword, a miniature scarecrow, a miniature pendant-like talisman held by pieces of glass, and... a little paper man with a round head.
And judging from the size and cutting style, it was obviously made according to Jiang Xuxu's little paper figurine.
As soon as Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe entered the room, Jin Xiaohe and Jin Xiaoxu on their bodies came out directly, jumped onto the table, and poked the little paper man curiously.
But obviously, because it is just a decoration in the restaurant, although the paper figures are cut to the same size, they cannot move without the driving force of spiritual energy.
Jin Xiaohe simply picked up a small orange-yellow paper figure that was the same size as himself, and pretended to stick it on himself, gesturing towards Jin Xiaoxu as if he was wearing a new piece of clothing.
Yes, the little paper figures on the table are in a complete set of colors: red, yellow, orange, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Seeing this, Jin Xiaoxu also pulled out a small green paper man and gestured to himself.
The two little guys were having a lot of fun showing off.
Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe naturally let them do as they pleased. After thinking about it, Jiang Xuxu even put the system turtle on it, right next to a turtle shell engraved with oracle bone inscriptions.
The system turtle did not move after being released, and still remained curled up in its shell. The whole turtle was visibly emo.
After coming out of the Security Bureau, the system has been hiding in its shell, looking like it has suffered a great blow.
Jiang Xuxu was too lazy to coax him, so he put it there and sat down with Chu Beihe to order food.
Upon hearing that Jiang Xuxu had come to their metaphysics-themed box in person, the restaurant owner rushed back to the store to entertain him personally. He introduced his own box and let Jiang Xuxu see his collection. Finally, he reluctantly left under Chu Beihe's intimidating gaze.
The two little paper figures were playing quietly on the side. While waiting for the meal, Jiang Xuxu asked Chu Beihe,
"Is this a date?"
Jiang Xuxu didn't think Chu Beihe would like such a place.
And she had noticed before that he was wearing a casual coat today.
Well, it’s the same color as the coat she’s wearing today.
Seeing her asking, Chu Beihe did not hide it and said directly,
"You said you wanted to make up for the first date."
