And the task of finding a restaurant and making reservations fell on You Mingxu - after all, she and the two of them were close friends. You Mingxu agreed immediately, and then asked: "Mengshan, Laojing, what do you two want to eat?"
Xu Mengshan said: "Eat whatever is expensive."
You Mingxu ignored him and looked at Jing Ping again. He was also looking at her, and the two long eyes on his fair face were calmer than before.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and then he answered: "I can do anything."
You Mingxu stopped looking at him and said with a smile, "Okay."
You Mingxu booked a table at a Hunan restaurant and ordered some barbecue and hot pot. He then went to Ding Xiongwei's place and grabbed a box of liquor. A group of policemen were eating and drinking to their heart's content, bragging and talking about horse racing in the box, it was quite lively.
Because Jing Ping and Xu Mengshan had just been discharged from the hospital, Xu Mengshan wanted to drink white wine, but You Mingxu took his glass away and finally served them both beer.
In fact, for a criminal policeman, there may be more things hidden in his heart than ordinary people. So when they are drinking and getting a little drunk, you will see that some people laugh out loud and are in high spirits; some people have tears in their eyes and are very frugal with their words; and some people speak righteously and incessantly - although they may be a taciturn person who can't say a word under normal circumstances.
You Mingxu was not a drinker. He would occasionally join in the fun, force others to drink a few glasses, and occasionally be persuaded to drink a glass or two. As for this group of drunken men, she always ignored them and let them fend for themselves.
But today, she drank about half a pound of tea in fits and starts, and felt a little energized, so she asked the waiter to bring her a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
The box was noisy. She drank tea for a while and still felt a little dizzy. When she turned around, she saw Xu Mengshan holding a glass of beer with red eyes.
You Mingxu pressed his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Mengshan pursed his lips and replied, "I miss Jiajia."
Just one sentence made You Mingxu's eyes well up with bitterness, but she didn't say anything.
Xu Mengshan whispered, "Actually, I rarely think of her now. I just suddenly thought of her today. If she were here, it would definitely be like a little firecracker, and the atmosphere would be better."
You Mingxu sighed, "Yeah." He picked up the bottle of wine next to him, poured himself a glass, clinked glasses with Xu Mengshan, and they drank it each.
Seeing that they had almost finished eating and drinking, You Mingxu went to the bar to pay the bill. After paying the bill, she didn't rush back to the box. Instead, she sat on the sofa in the corridor to get some fresh air and rest for a while.
Not long after, someone came out of the box.
Jingping's face was a little red from drinking, but his steps were steady and his eyes were clear. He walked over to her side and sat down.
You Mingxu remembered that the most people toasted him just now, and even if it was beer, he probably drank several bottles. It seems that he can drink quite well.
He leaned back in his chair, pressed his head with his hands, and said nothing.
You Mingxu asked, "How much did you drink?"
Jing Ping replied: "Four bottles."
You Mingxu frowned: "You and Mengshan seem to be having a great time!"
Jing Ping smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't worry about it. How much did you drink?"
You Mingxu replied: "A little over half a catty."
Jingping made a "tsk" sound.
They were both silent for a while, and Jing Ping said, "Ming Xu, I plan to go back to Yunnan."
You Mingxu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him: "You want to... go back?"
Jing Ping smiled and nodded: "I'm not a criminal investigator. I just came here to help with drug enforcement. Now that the case is solved, I should go back to the front line. Wait for me over there."
You Mingxu didn't know what to say. Want to keep him? There is nothing to retain, they do belong to different police forces. Perhaps Yu Jingping is more accustomed to intercepting drug dealers one by one at the distant border; just like her and Xu Mengshan, they are better at protecting many people in this city and keeping crime away from them.
They are eagles over the city, but he is a wolf in the jungle.
You Mingxu just asked: "When are we leaving?"
"This Sunday."
There is less than a week left.
You Mingxu thought about it, and said to him very sincerely and calmly: "Then I wish you a safe journey, and hope you can solve bigger cases smoothly and safely."
Jingping leaned back on the sofa, the soft light from the corridor shining on his face. He propped his chin with one hand, his eyes as gentle as a neighbor's brother: "Well, I hope so. I also wish our sister You to achieve more merits, live in peace, and have all her wishes come true."
The two were silent for a while, then laughed at the same time.
You Mingxu said: "If you come to Xiangcheng again, you must come to see us."
Jing Ping said, "Of course. If you come to Yunnan, be sure to let me know. I'll take you out to play and eat. Yunnan has a great climate, and you might not want to leave after you go there."
You Mingxu said: "Then we really need to go and see it."
Jing Ping stared at her and said, "But before I leave, I have one unfulfilled wish."
You Mingxu laughed: "What?"
"We've been talking about a fight for months, but it hasn't happened yet."
You Mingxu might have been a little scared of him before, but now he looked him over without hesitation and said, "Are you sure? You just got out of the hospital, can you fight?"
Jing Ping said: "It's enough to deal with you."
You Mingxu snorted coldly.
Jing Ping said, "How about this, if you're worried, I'll take care of it for a few more days, and we'll meet at the fighting arena on Saturday night. There won't be anyone there at night, and even if Sister You, who ranks first in the branch, loses, she won't lose face. I'll leave the next day after the fight. How do you think?"
You Mingxu was indeed itching to do so, but he also thought that at worst he could just stop at the expense of the other party and not hurt him, so he agreed.
However, Xu Mengshan later learned that the two were going to fight, and thought to himself, my Brother Jing is my Brother Jing, even if he failed in love, he will still be successful in the boxing ring. She also thought that if Jing Ping could really beat You Mingxu, he would be the only man who had beaten her in all these years, and in her heart, he would become a special one. Wait a minute...Is this Jingping's idea? This old drug enforcement policeman is quite sinister.
Originally Xu Mengshan was thinking about going to watch the game that night, but after thinking about it, he compared Yin Feng and Jing Ping in his mind and felt that he had a deeper brotherly relationship with Jing Ping, so he kept silent.
