When A Snail Falls in Love

This time when he returned to Beijing, Ji Bai did not intend to disturb any irrelevant people or inform his family. After getting off the plane and calling a taxi, the two went straight to a guest house in Nancheng anchored under the Ministry of Public Security.

In the evening, the capital was noisy and crowded, and the gorgeous sunset glowed the golden buildings. The guest house is a very inconspicuous five-story white building with a very old red carpet in the aisle and a yellow wall skirt in the style of the 90s on the wall. The reception attitude of the reception staff of state-owned enterprises is even more lukewarm.

But Ji Bai didn't care much, Xu Xu didn't care at all. Opened two rooms, took the luggage upstairs, and entered each room.

Ji Bai took a bath, put on loose T-shirts and trousers, and just turned on the computer, and someone knocked on the door.

Xu Xu. Standing at the door with a notebook, Bai Shengsheng's small face was indifferent: "Is there work at night?"

She had also just taken a shower, changed her T-shirt and slacks, and her wet short hair was attached to her white forehead, her eyes were extremely wet, dark and clear.

Like the eyes of small animals.

Ji Bai's eyes lightly moved away from her face, and she turned and put her into the house.

Three-star guest house, the room is small and pathetic. The only two mahogany chairs, one with Ji Bai's luggage, and one with Ji Bai sitting. Work is very important, Xu Xu is not inconspicuous, sit down directly on the edge of the bed, open the computer to discuss with him.

In fact, the two were in Beijing at the moment, and they were unmatched by Lin. The case can only be sorted out again to see if other clues can be found. After chatting for a little while, there was nothing new and stopped. Xu Xu did not expect to go back to the room, holding the computer to continue to read Ye Zixi's financial information. Ji Bai leaned back on the chair and looked at the night just outside the window, drinking tea quietly.

The room was quiet and silent, with orange lights showing the old warmth. Ji Bai turned his eyes slightly, and saw Xu Xu sitting on the white sheets. The slightly loose T-shirt made her look smaller and softer, and there was a fragrance of the bath liquid...the whole room seemed to have some more A soft and clean breath.

At this moment, the cell phone ringtone broke a room of silence. Xu Xu raised his dark eyes and looked over. Ji Bai looked at her, picked up the phone, and turned to look out the window.

It is Shu Hang. Ji Bai called him before he came. Like Ye Zixi, he also graduated from H University and was very popular. With his help, it is more efficient.

Shu Hang is a clever person, only to show that Tian accompanied Ji Bai to go to H University, and the others did not ask much. Then he smiled and asked Ji San to go out for a drink.

Ji Bai of course refused: "No time, you guys play."

Where Shu Hang is willing to work: "Come out, the Spring Festival is worth a lot of money, less bow and a day, the people will forgive you."

Ji Bai: "Get out of here." Hanged up the phone.

Xu Xu didn't want to listen to the phone, just heard that he was slightly lighter~ He was "off the beaten" tone, making her a little surprised. Looking up again, I saw Ji Bai's tall body leaning against the chair. His deep and handsome face with a lazy smile was just like two people who were usually harsh and cold-hearted.

Oh, it turned out to be the state of the season's private life.

Xu Xu lowered his head and continued to work.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, there was a continuous mess of engine sounds and car horns, and several lights illuminate the night. In the courtyard of the small guest house, there was an instant riot. Others shouted "San Ge" and "San Ge." in the throat. It was estimated that some people had greeted someone, and no one came out to stop it.

Ji Bai looked at this posture and couldn't help laughing. Xu Xu thought that it was none of his business, let alone that the "three brothers" were the people in front of him, only when these murmurs did not exist.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

When Shu Hang came in, he was surprised when he saw Xu Xu. Although it is known that Ji Bai has accepted a female apprentice, the two of them are wearing a tuned casual clothes, and the girl is still in Ji Bai's room at night...

Ji Baidan introduced the two with a smile, but Shu Hang was still itchy, and I had to see this clearly.

At this time, Xu Xu said: "Ji Team, I'll go back to the room first." Before Ji Bai nodded, Shu Hang stopped her: "Officer Xu, how did that come! The visitors are all visitors, Beijing welcomes you... …"

Originally, it was completely impossible for Xu Xu to "hang out" with a group of strangers. But Shu Hang is also a human being, and Tong Chan lotus throws a very convincing reason: "If you don’t go, what if the third brother is drunk by the gang guys? How can I investigate the case tomorrow? They are not like me, I support Sange’s work in this way. When you go, first, the girls have some scruples; second, if you drink a little, you can bring Sange back, without affecting tomorrow’s work."

Hearing this, Xu Xu looked at Ji Bai with his searching eyes. Ji Bai didn't want to go, but seeing that they were making a lot of noise, it seemed they wouldn't go either.

To investigate the case tomorrow, it is impossible for him to get drunk, and no one dares to confuse it. Shu Hang is just a fool. But if he went to the lush land and left the little guy in the deserted guesthouse alone, how could it be a kind of torture~ to treat small animals... Ji Bai's lips twitched and smiled, looking at her lightly: "Go out Go, change your mind."

***

There were four or five cars parked in the yard. Those young faces in the night, some gentle, some scattered. Everyone cheered when Ji Bai went downstairs. Ji Bai looked at these people, some knew, some didn't. He smiled and greeted several people, and then Xu Xu got into Shu Hang's car.

A group of people drove into Shichahai and arrived at a bar by the river. The lights are dim and the decoration is ancient, far away from the sound of the music on the other side. Shu Hang took him and went straight into the window. In the elegant seat near the window covered by the bead curtain, several men smiled when they saw Ji Bai, and were surprised when they saw Xu Xu.

One hesitated: "Sister-in-law?"

Another person was cautious: "Illegal daughter?"

...

A few of them were playing cards, and Ji Bai was here. Ji Bai was also polite, took the card, lit a cigarette, and turned to ask Xu Xu: "Will it be possible?"

Xu Xu: "No."

Ji Bai glanced at Shu Hang, Shu Hang thought well, called the waiter, brought Xu Xu a bunch of fruit snacks, and several magazines. Xu Xu looked honestly on the sofa.

Ji Bai and Shu Hang are older in the circle and more important. There are some juniors sitting on the outside sofa. Ji Bai still has teenagers in it, and asks another to send a small child: "Where did you find these children?"

This little nickname monkey, lean and beautiful, smiled and answered: "My mother must ask me to take them to play. Today I heard that you came back and quarreled to see legends."

Sure enough, after a while, someone toasted with a goblet, a young man with an arrogant eyebrow, and a Qingxiu girl with Ling Jingling. Ji Bai smiled and picked up the tea: "I can't drink today." There was a girl who didn't do it. The monkey smiled and blocked it first: "While going to interfere with official duties, do you take it?"

The girl blinked "Oh" and left.

Xu Xu listened on the side, but let his heart down-it seemed that the situation was not as severe as Shu Hang said.

After a while, someone came to Xu Xu and asked with a smile: "We play dice, do you want to be together?"

Xu Xu smiled politely: "Thank you, I will not participate."

Others are not forced to continue to play around. Only from time to time someone looked at her. A house full of red men and green women, only her simple white shirt trousers, plain white face, sitting in the corner intently. She didn't care about herself, but when she fell into the eyes of others, there was a kind of incompatibility.

Shu Hang asked Ji Bai: "It doesn't matter?"

Ji Bai looked at Xu Xu, squinted and took a breath: "It's okay." She was happy by nature, and she took her to play hard, but it would make her uncomfortable.

But the monkey stood up: "This is not successful, how can the person brought by the third brother be left out? I'll go chat with her." Then he swaggered over.

Everyone at the table laughed, and some people said, "Third brother, monkeys are countless flowers, you don't stop, this little apprentice is going to suffer."

Ji Baimei didn't raise it: "Whoever loses is not necessarily." Continue to play.

In one game, Ji Bai won a big victory and inadvertently looked up, but saw the monkey's hand on the sofa behind Xu Xu, laughing and saying something. Xu Xu didn't have any expression, but was obviously a little impatient, and he shrank slightly to the side. Seeing that he was watching, she suddenly looked up. Still those wet black eyes, a little embarrassed and a little dependent.

Actually Xu Xu didn't mean to rely on, but Ji Bai was the only person she knew at the scene. She couldn't casually brush his friend's face, of course, waiting for Ji Bai to come out and let this inexplicable person disappear.

However, Ji Bai looked at her eyes and said faintly: "Xu Xu, come here."

Xu Xu immediately got up and walked over, and the monkey smiled and followed. Everyone at this table would feel a little bit sorry, just laugh.

Xu Xu walked over to him: "Season."

Ji Bai hadn't spoken yet, Shu Hang looked at her with a smile: "It's not at the police station, what is the Ji team. They are called Ji Sange here."

Xu Xu: "Oh. Brother Ji."

Ji Bai raised his dark eyes and looked at her.

Ji Sange.

How many times was this close name called. It was the first time someone called such a plain stereotype. But her low soft voice, indifferent tone, but like a thin and long feather, gently scratching her heart, itchy, a little... strangely comfortable.

Nodded lightly and looked at Shu Hang opposite: "You get up and let her go."

Shu Hang: "Ah?" Has been pulled up with a smile.

Xu Xu wondered: "I don't know how to play poker."

Ji Bai smiled: "You can learn. This can exercise your thinking skills."

"Oh."

The fight was a double-Q upgrade, Ji Bai and Xu Xu were together, and the other two were together. In the first game, Xu Xu learned while playing. She lost naturally, and Ji Bai's winning streak was ended by her. Others are addicted, because in this circle, Ji Bai, who is good at calculating, has always been an invincible myth.

Ji Bai was not in a hurry, only told Xu Xu to remember the cards. The second game really improved, they just lost. In the third game, it became a small victory. Someone looked at Xu Xu depressed: "You really just learned today?"

Xu Xu answered: "Well. I just thought about how to count the cards."

Ji Baidan laughed: "Don't leave them alive, we will go back to rest once we hit it once."

Xu Xu: "Understood."

Everyone was silent.

...

This result has been winning all the way, winning seven or eight innings in a row, not far from victory. But the opponent's card skills are not as good, and when luck breaks out, he draws a super good hand. By the end of this round, Xu Xu hesitated. The original card is not as good as others. If you take risks, you may have a chance to defeat. But can Ji Bai understand her?

Thinking of this, I looked up. Ji Bai originally lowered his head to drink tea to read the card, and suddenly looked up at her. The two stared at each other for a moment, and each lowered their eyes, knowing clearly.

This game still won.

In the next few rounds, they were in distress again, and the two acted in the same way. They exchanged glances indifferently, and no matter how complicated the strategy was, they could understand it. Ji Bai has always been a lazy look, Xu Xu hung his head most of the time, but nobody noticed the little movements of the two.

In the last game, the opponent killed the opponent without leaving the game. The monkey threw away the poker and scratched his head anxiously: "Fuck, this card is too suffocating and not playing! It's too bullying. Laozi crosses the field For the first time in decades, I lost my self-esteem to my heart!" In addition, the man sighed.

Ji Bai smiled, looked at his watch, and got up to leave.

Xu Xu also stood up, just looked at them like this, but felt a little guilty, and said: "You don't have to be depressed. First of all, Ji and I... The third brother's memory and computing power are indeed stronger because we have undergone professional training; When we exchange eyes..."

Before he finished speaking, he covered his mouth with a large, slightly smoky hand. Xu Xu frowned slightly, Ji Bai had pulled her back and smiled and said to everyone: "Leave, there will be something going on tomorrow."

As soon as he left the bar, Ji Bai seemed to smile and looked down at her: "Why are you so honest? Don't let them lose badly, can you let us go?"

Xu Xu: "It turns out so."

Ji Bai and Shu Hang looked at each other and smiled.

Shu Hang drove them back.

The car was quiet in the cool Beijing city at night, Xu Xu leaned back, slightly tired, and did not speak. Instead, Ji Bai and Shu Hang have been chatting.

Xu Xu found that Ji Bai, aside from the identity of the captain of the Interpol, was really different. He seemed sloppy, sharp, and even a little prodigal cynical.

This difference is not difficult to understand. He was a young police officer at a young age. His calmer and stricter posture naturally convinced everyone and made the criminals feel more chilled.

But Xu Xu noticed that he seemed to be smiling Yan Yan this night, but the feeling of indifference and alienation between the eyebrows was also more obvious, with a kind of distant meaning.

She also noticed that, despite the enthusiasm and caring of those friends, no one asked about his work, and no one really understood and was interested in what he was doing.

They regarded him as a legend, but it was also a legend gradually away from their circles. Perhaps it will not be long before the lingering, lazy, cynicism remaining on him disappears, leaving only the cold-blooded police captain she is familiar with.

Thinking of this layer, Xu Xu apologized with respect and was also moved. He looked back to his handsome, smiling face in the night, reflecting the kind of warm-hearted determination.

"Here it is." Shu Hang parked the car with a smile, and immediately a tall young man in uniform came over and opened the door for Xu Jie and Ji Bai.

Xu Xu stunned slightly, Ji Bai got out of the car, glanced at the five-star hotel with bright lights in front of him, and then looked at Shu Hang.

Shu Hang opened the trunk and brought out the luggage of the two of them: "You took the apprentice to Beijing, we can let her stay at the guest house? I have already retired over there and set the presidential suit. This is closer to H, I'll pick you up at 8 tomorrow morning."
