In April, spring comes back, grass grows, birds sing, and the weather has completely warmed up.
In the office of the first team, brilliant sunlight poured in through the glass. Lin Mo pressed his face against the glass of the office, facing the dazzling sun. He kept watching Bai Yu, who was on a mission, walk out of the door of the Investigation Bureau. Then he turned around and whispered, "Xiao Bai is gone. He probably won't be back before noon."
Yuan Xue placed a notebook on the table with a "pop". It was filled with ideas she had thought up while staying up late:
"Very good, let's discuss now how Captain Chu should confess his feelings to Xiao Bai so as to achieve the highest success rate."
Chu Zehuai looked at the thoughts one after another with mixed feelings.
If he wants to confess his feelings to Bai Yu, does he really need the entire team to come up with advice?
Seeing what her captain was thinking, Yuan Xue pushed up her glasses, and a beam of white light reflected from the lenses:
"Of course it's important. This is related to the harmony of our entire team. If we don't find a solution, what are you going to do if you are the only one left, Captain Chu?"
Chu Zehuai hesitated for a rare moment. He had no relevant experience, and all his knowledge of love came from the various novels and dramas he had read recently: "Uh... I want to... invite Bai Yu to go to the movies with me, and then go shopping together..."
He hadn't figured out what to do after shopping when Yuan Xue interrupted him mercilessly:
...
...
"These are too outdated. They are exactly the same as they were decades ago. Besides, Captain Chu, do you usually go to the movies and go shopping with Xiaobai?"
Chu Zehuai shook his head.
The places where he and Bai Yu spent the most time together were the office and the mission location.
"Then if you rashly ask Xiaobai to go to the movies or go shopping, won't he quickly notice that something is wrong? Not only will there be no surprise at all, but Xiaobai might even suspect that you have mental problems again."
And according to all of their observations, Bai Yu likes watching TV series but almost never goes to the movies. This method does not touch on what the other person likes at all.
Chu Zehuai thought about it and felt that it made some sense, so he had a new idea: "Then I ask him to go on the mission together? Confess my feelings during the mission?"
The key is that he usually doesn't ask Bai Yu to go to other places. He usually asks them to do tasks together. Using this method, the other party will definitely not notice anything unusual in advance.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone opened their eyes wide in disbelief, and Yuan Xue's eyes were brighter, as if she was looking at the number one straight man in the Dongzhou region.
"No, Captain Chu, what do you think? Why would anyone want to confess their love during work? Being on a mission is annoying enough, and the pollutants are ugly and the surrounding environment is not good. There is no romance at all."
Yuan Xue couldn't help but complain that this was even worse than the confession routine in the movie theater just now.
"Yeah. When I'm on a mission, I just want to get off work quickly. If someone disturbs me at this time, let alone confessing, even if it's a proposal, I want to kick him to the sky."
Yanran crossed his arms and rarely expressed his opinion.
“Brother, aren’t you afraid that Xiao Bai will mistake you for being serious during work?”
Lin Mo twitched his lips and decided to go online to buy some books about love for his brother.
"If the mission location is not an option, then...our team's office?"
Chu Zehuai looked around the office where he had worked for such a long time and said.
The main reason is that these are the only two places where he and Bai Yu spend their daily time together.
"The office is too boring. Workers get irritated when they see the monotonous environment of the office. If I decorate the office, there will definitely be a risk of being discovered by the newbies in advance."
Yuan Xue shook her head and rejected the suggestion.
"It's fine if you succeed, but if you fail, how will you two look straight in the face of the office in the future? If your luck is even worse, someone else will pass by while Xiao Bai is refusing. Wouldn't you become the laughing stock of the entire investigation bureau? It might even be spread outside."
Lin Mo held his chin and said this, and then Yan Ran gave him a beating on the grounds that "you are not allowed to say discouraging words".
Chu Zehuai pursed his lips. This and that wouldn't work. Either it was too old-timey and not romantic enough, or it was too annoying and boring and risky.
He rubbed his temple with a headache and looked up at the three people in front of him: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
It doesn't arouse Bai Yu's suspicion, yet it's romantic enough.
"If you want Xiaobai to agree to you, you must first show how you are better than others."
Yuan Xue took out a piece of paper and a pen and started writing on it.
Lin Mo nodded in agreement, but then had a new question:
"My brother is stronger than others... The most obvious thing is his strength. But to show his strength, he must kill the pollutants. He can't fight Xiaobai, so doesn't that overlap with the previous plan we denied?"
"Captain Chu doesn't just have this one advantage."
"Powerful? Rich? An RV without a mortgage?"
"Xiao Bai doesn't look like someone who would care about such things."
The group had a heated discussion, and half an hour later, Yuan Xue came up with a plan that everyone thought was good.
"I remember that Xiaobai likes food very much. We can let Captain Chu do this and that first, and then let Lin Mo do that and that. Even if we fail in the end, we can still do this and that..."
Yuan Xue handed over the filled paper and began to tell everyone her ideas.
"I think so."
Yanran nodded. This method could not only prevent Bai Yu from becoming suspicious, but also help her understand his preferences. It could also showcase Chu Zehuai's strengths while creating an extremely romantic atmosphere.
For Captain Chu's first confession, they must be fully prepared and have a careful plan for the back-up plan, and they must not be rash and confess on impulse.
"It's time to set a date now. I asked Grandpa Shen to calculate it, and he said May is the best time. If not, May to September will be fine."
Lin Mo pulled up the calendar on his phone and pointed at the date May 3rd.
"May 3rd is the Hundred Flowers Festival holiday, which lasts for three days and is only about ten days away."
Chu Zehuai looked at the calendar, then at Yuan Xue's paper.
"Okay, then I'll go back and think about it and adjust the details."
"That's settled for now."
**
Bai Yu always felt that his colleague was a little strange these two days.
His expression was weird, his words were weird, and even his movements were a little weird, as if he was hiding something, or secretly doing something big.
If it were in the past, Bai Yu might have asked a few questions out of curiosity.
But it is different now. The flowering period in May is approaching. He doesn't know if it is because the newly transformed plant cells are going through the flowering period for the first time, but he feels much more agitated than usual and doesn't care about his colleague's strange behavior at all.
Anyway, it's just a little strange, not particularly strange. Maybe this is the diversity and complexity of human personality.
Bai Yu ignored them, but his colleagues came over.
"Xiaobai, I remember you moved to a new house, right?"
Lin Mo pulled a chair and stopped beside Bai Yu. Although it was a question, his tone was very affirmative.
The residential complex where he sent the other person back when they first met was completely different from the address on the other person's current profile.
"Yes, we moved last summer or autumn. What happened?"
Bai Yu blinked and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"That's right, Xiaobai. According to Dongzhou's customs, we haven't prepared a housewarming party for you yet."
Lin Mo clapped his hands and took out a book from somewhere.
"It's because we were so busy those days that we didn't notice this. As your good friend, I think we owe you a party. How about May 3rd?"
Bai Yu looked at the contents of the book and touched his chin: "It doesn't matter. I don't care about this kind of thing. Besides, it happened last year."
Lin Mo shook his head: "No, this is very important. No matter how long ago we moved to a new home, it would be incomplete without friends and family to hold a housewarming party together!"
Bai Yu looked at the other person and didn't know what to say for a moment. He had never had a deep understanding of these human customs.
"It's been so long, why do you suddenly think of this now?"
"Well...I just happened to find that your information had been changed when I went to the archives last time to look for information."
Lin Mo scratched his head somewhat unnaturally, and then he and his chair were pushed away by Yuan Xue.
The woman wearing glasses and dressed smartly pulled a chair to Bai Yu in the same posture. Under her glasses, she looked confident and calm, and she explained to Bai Yu in a low voice:
"Xiao Bai, Dark Night Crow just wants to eat the food Captain Chu made. Because of some things that happened before, Captain Chu had a bad impression of him and never cooked for him again. But if it's your banquet, then Dark Night Crow can just go and eat for free."
"I see."
Bai Yu suddenly realized, and he asked why Lin Mo suddenly brought up this topic with him.
"Captain Chu's cooking is really delicious."
The taste was comparable to the food he had enjoyed in Dongting. No wonder Lin Mo was obsessed with it and came up with this trick.
Come to think of it, he was a bit greedy, and he had only tasted the porridge, fish and candies made by the other party.
But according to Lin Mo, this is not Chu Zehuai's best dish.
"Yeah. So I was thinking, why don't you just agree to Night Crow and we all go together, and let Team Chu do more, as some kind of team building."
After going around in circles, Yuan Xue finally revealed her real purpose.
"Does everyone think so?"
Bai Yu asked, and then he saw four pairs of eyes looking at him, and even Xiao Mi scratched the cage.
"Oh well."
Looking at the expectation in everyone's eyes, Bai Yu nodded in agreement.
It's just a party at home, it's not a big deal, and it can also enhance the relationship with colleagues.
He has never been able to resist delicious food, and he is also quite interested in team building activities, which he has never participated in before.
However, Bai Yu soon had new concerns:
"Will Captain Chu agree to our request? Is there anything I need to prepare in advance?"
Chu Zehuai seems to be very busy recently and may not have the time to attend such a banquet, let alone cook himself.
"Don't worry, cooking is one of Captain Chu's hobbies, and we haven't had a party for a long time, he will agree. No need to prepare anything in advance, it's settled, see you on May 3rd."
"good."
