Zhao Han secretly sent a text message to Ji Bai: “Boss, when will you come back?”
In the late afternoon sunset, the west side was a pretty garden of sparse trees. Behind the trees were green grass. Yang QingLin and Xu Xu sat down on the grass, they were silent for a while.
“Shixiong, Thank you for the approval from you and deputy director Liu.” Xu Xu said: “But currently I’m not thinking about transferring to the provincial police. Please give my apologies to deputy director Liu. I’ve just arrived at the front line, and so I am still not that experienced. I hope to learn a lot more, otherwise, research is like water without the source, and I don’t have the confidence to do it well.”
Yang QingLin looked at her white and serious face. Xu Xu was still the junior sister who liked to act according to her desires, and didn’t understand life from before. But he always knew, under the quiet and indifferent exterior, she actually had a clean and pure heart. Others could not understand her special points, the things that had slowly soaked into his heart, from that year onward and had become deeply engraved within his heart and mind.
Yang QingLin looked away from her face, followed the green soft grass under his feets: “Transferring to the provincial police, you could still be involved in the front line of the investigations, moreover, you can be involved in all the major cases. Also, I will help in creating a working environment that’s suitable for your professional development.”
Xu Xu was silent for a moment then shook her head: “Thank you Shixiong, but I don’t want to go. I’m working with captain Ji now. He is highly experienced and has a unique analytical thinking. I want to continue to learn from him, I don’t intend to give up halfway.”
Yang Qinglin wasn’t good at talking, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t have a keen intuition. Although junior sister’s words were calm and natural, and didn’t expose any loopholes, but there was still a trace of inexplicable pain in his heart.
Ji Bai, Ji Bai, the famous investigator province-wide. There was a rumor that he was a young master at the capitol, and with an amazing background. But he voluntarily became a criminal investigation police office, an occupation with the hardest works, in life and death, and was not afraid of difficulties.
In the past several years he had stopped, with the aim to create a career, a better man already appeared and opened the door to her heart?
Yang QingLin softly spoke: “All right, I’ll tell deputy director Liu, but whenever you feel that you have had enough experience at the front line, we will welcome you to the provincial police anytime. In addition…” He turned around and looked into her eyes: “I came to find you for another reason. These few years, I’ve been working hard, and didn’t find a girlfriend. Would you be willing to… be with me?”
His personality was relatively boring, and not well versed in socializing. “Perhaps, I can’t provide special favorable living conditions, but I’ll work hard. I am confident that I can support and manage the family well in the future. I’ll be dedicated to taking care of you, love you, and always put you… in the first place.”
Xu Xu heart was slightly shaken, she quietly looked at Yang QingLin.
Her phone suddenly rang, there was a text message from Ji Bai: “No matter what, wait for me to come back to decide.”
When Ji Bai returned to the office the sky was already completely dark. The starlight scattered across the dark night, there was only the familiar fragile figure sitting quietly at the desk. Hearing a noise, she looked up, the clear and dark eyes like water stared at him.
Ji Bai also looked at her.
Honestly, he could predict that it was unlikely that she would agree to the transfer to the provincial police, and also knew that she would not accept that her shixiong’s feelings. But he still had sped back to the police station.
When was the last time that he had driven in such haste? When he had been fifteen or sixteen years old, with friends not knowing about the world, raced around Beijing in the middle the night. In that race, he had come 1st but it had still felt tasteless.
What about now?
Just by seeing her calm face, his heart inside his chest slowly heated?
Because of the kiss on her hair yesterday, it had made it difficult for him to restrain himself; or was it because he had been suppressed for so long, that after he had vaguely perceived the reciprocal response of hers, it was difficult for him to continue to be indifferent, reluctant to think of strategies to proceed step by step?
“Riverside house gets to enjoy the moonlight earlier”, The house was his and the moonlight was also his.
Ji Bai walked to Xu Xu’s desk, and stopped: “I have something to say to you.”
Xu Xu sat silent for a moment then said: “I also have something to say to you.”
They entered Ji Bai’s office and sat down face to face.
Xu Xu spoke first:
