Xu Xu continued to lower her head to eat, Ji Bai quietly waited. In the shop, the only customers were them. The owner was standing at counter holding a calculator to calculate today’s turnover. His son was lying on the counter doing his homework. There were few passersby, the streets lit with dim lights.
Ji Bai watched the slightly wavy hair and Xu Xu’s nice white chin. He thought: I didn’t want to see James play but watch her eat noodles here. But he’s doing it willingly and even feels fascinated.
When they walked out from the shop, the two returned to the police station parking lot to take their cars.
Xu Xu’s heavy mood had become enthusiastic. Before she got into the car, she couldn’t help but turn to say: “Goodbye master.. see you tomorrow.” to Ji Bai.
Ji Bai’s mood was also very good, he smiled and nodded: “Yeah, eight o’clock tomorrow, I’ll wait for you at the shooting room.”
Those were very common words, but they made Xu Xu’s face heat up. She was a little uneasy, and immediately lowered her head and lightly nodded then got in the car and drove away without looking back.
JI Bai watched her car until it disappeared; and only got into the car then. Thinking of tonight, he subconsciously laughed. Just as he started the car the mobile phone rang.
This time it was actually the director.
“Ji Bai, Chuan Xian has just reported a murder, it may be related to the human trafficking gang in the province. The local police asked us to focus on the supervision. You’re going to Chuan Xian tonight.”
“Yes sir.” Ji Bai answered simply.
The director also said: “You may involve and liaison with the local police and also comfort the victim’s family, you should also bring the person who is responsible for external contact in your team.”
“Alright.”
The external contact person is Yao Meng, Ji Bai immediately telephoned her and told her to meet up half an hour later at the police station then they drove to Chuan Xian.
The next morning, Xu Xu came to the shooting room at 7:30. She attentively practiced for a while, at eight o’clock, Ji Bai didn’t come.
Eight thirty, he still hadn’t come.
She had just taken out her cell phone, when Ji Bai’s phone call came.
“A case occoured in Chuan Xian, Yao Meng and I came here last night” He spoke very quickly: “I’ll be gone for a week, you practice on your own.”
“Yes!”
After hanging up on the phone, Xu Xu’s mood was absolutely normal, when there was work, she certainly wouldn’t think about the affair between men and women. She decided to search for information related to the case once she got back to the office, perhaps it would be useful within her limited power.
But after a while, JI Bai’s words suddenly emerged in her mind “Yao Meng and I came here last night.”
She remembered the bright smile on Yao Meng’s face while she and Ji Bai raced, remembered Yao Meng looking at Ji Bai with flicker of complex emotions in her eyes. Bits and pieces she hadn’t been aware of before suddenly appeared on her mind.
The finger on the trigger trembled slightly. As it turned out that Yao Meng also liked Ji Bai.
