Chapter 11(1/2)
Xu Xu has her own stubbornness and arrogance in her professionalism, but as a policeman, she has always strictly enforced rules and orders. Although Ji Bai's request is a bit unkind, she would not think of resisting her superiors, and it can even be said to be a little "submissive".
So the next morning, she went out on time. When she arrived at the sports field, it was dark and the street lights were still on. The track was gloomy and empty, and three or two people could be seen running in the dark.
She stood there for a while and saw a figure running from the thick haze to her.
It's Ji Bai, it should have arrived not long ago, without any smell of sweat.
The light was very dark, his outline was a little blurry, but his voice was clear and powerful: "How many laps did you run yesterday?"
Xu Xu: "Five."
"Ten today, the speed cannot be slower than yesterday, I will count the time." After leaving these words, he continued to run forward.
Xu Xu was silent for a moment, picked up the water bottle and took a big sip, and followed.
Of course, if you say you follow me, Ji Bai will soon disappear. After Xu Xu ran for half a circle, his calm and rapid footsteps approached from behind.
Just listening to the extremely rhythmic breathing sound, you can feel the power released by the male body during movement. In contrast, Xu Xu's running had no sense of existence at all, with small steps and light breathing. As soon as she lowered her head, she saw Ji Bai stepping over two and a half steps, surpassing the past...
"This circle is not counting, it's too slow." A faint voice floated from the distance from the darkness, and Xu Xu froze and followed up depressedly.
By the time Xu Xu finished ten laps, it was already bright and his breath was weak. As for how many laps Ji Bai ran, she could not count them. Anyway, he had stopped by the last two laps, and he didn't see anyone, so he didn't know where he went. She even had a little doubt whether he was really timing it.
After resting for a while, Xu Xu dragged his lead-like legs out of the sports field. When he walked to the equipment area, he saw Ji Bai and a man sitting there. Hearing her footsteps, both of them turned around. Ji Bai waved to her with a smile: "Xu Xu, come here."
The smile was particularly soft, which made the already outstanding face shine a bit brighter in the sun.
Xu Xu glanced at him and turned his eyes to the man.
The man looked over fifty years old, medium-sized, gray-haired and kind-hearted. He said to her: "Hello, Xu Xu. I heard that a newcomer with great potential came to the team, but I didn't expect that he was such a petite girl."
Xu Xu: "Hello, Captain Yan. I have long admired Daming."
The man's smile deepened: "It's true that he is smart. But since you are Xiao Ji's apprentice, you should call me Master."
This person is the retired former criminal police captain, whose surname is Yan, and he is also Ji Bai's master back then, a famous detective in Lin City. Xu Xu had heard of him before, and then he inferred his identity based on his age and tone of speaking.
Of course, Ji Bai's smile that was as gentle as if it was about to drip water also explains it all.
"Hello, Master," Xu Xu shouted honestly.
Seeing that her eyes were clear, neither humble nor arrogant, and she developed a little favor, Team Yan smiled and said to Ji Bai: "Your apprentice is well-behaved and smart, so she is well-behaved. She is a girl, so don't be too strict."
Ji Bai smiled: "I naturally know this."
Xu Xu was silent.
Team Yan heard that Xu Xu was learning the mentality of crime, so he was very interested. After asking a few questions, Xu Xu answered them one by one. Team Yan really praised her a few more words. After all, he was facing a former legendary figure in the police industry, and Xu Xu blushed a little when he was said.
Team Yan observed his expression and handed Ji Bai a look, meaning that this girl was too simple.
Ji Bai was originally listening to their conversation quietly, and when he received the look of his master, he looked at Xu Xu. He was slightly stunned when he saw this.
The sun was already rising, and the morning light was slightly yellow and bright. Xu Xu stood in front of them. His originally pale skin was almost transparent in the sun. But his small cheeks had a uniform crimson red. The red was not deep, but her skin looked thin and fragile, and the red was about to drip down like blood. Even the snow-white little ears were red, and the moist color seemed to touch it and it would touch it.
She lowered her face slightly, her expression was a little cramped, but her eyes were as dark and calm as ever, like two shallow streams, quietly reflecting the sunlight.
It turns out that it is quite impressive.
Seeing Ji Bai's eyes looking at him with sparse eyes, Xu Xu bowed to Team Yan in a regular manner: "Master, I'll leave first. Let's talk next time."
Team Yan kept smiling and watching her walk away, turned to Ji Bai and said, "No wonder you don't care about the trouble. You are willing to take a female apprentice. It seems that you are very good."
Ji Bai looked up and happened to see Xu Xu turn out of the sports field door, and replied with a smile: "She hasn't caused any trouble."
During lunch break, it was natural for Xu Xu to sleep in a dark and dark place. He didn't even hear the bell ringing at work, but Yao Meng pushed her to wake her up and asked cutely: "Is it okay? You seem to have been beaten up."
Xu Xu replied in a sluggish manner: "It's almost the same."
As soon as I turned on the computer, a message popped up in the UC (internal communication system) of the police station, and the person who was interviewed was Zhao Han.
Xu Xu asked about the condition of the sports field, so he knew about Ji Bai's training. In addition, Xu Xu was held hostage last time, he felt guilty. Therefore, he came to encourage him specifically.
Zhao Han: "How does the devil's special training feel?"
Xu Xu replied: "It's true that the devil."
Zhao Han: "Haha, God will give you a great responsibility, so the people are also a team of people. This is for your own good."
Xu Xu: "I know."
Zhao Han: "The other female policewomen can't even envy them."
Xu Xu: "Why?"
Zhao Han said something casually, and was stunned for a moment and replied: "Because the boss is handsome."
Xu Xu: "Because he is handsome, I want to be tortured by him? They like to be abused?"
In the seat opposite, Zhao Han sprayed a mouthful of water.
In fact, Xu Xu's thinking and language are very straightforward, and what he says is limited to literal meaning. "Torture" refers to running that makes her feel tortured; "Torture" refers to the psychologically serious concept of abusive physique. But in the eyes of an ordinary man like Zhao Han, her words are really too explosive.
Similar things have happened before.
In high school, people were still very shy about men and women. One day after school, several girls stayed in the classroom and gossiped privately, saying that they suspected a certain girl and had an improper relationship with a certain boy. Because Xu Xu was there at that time, one of them had a good relationship with Xu Xu, and was very excited to ask her what she thought about this.
Xu Xu did not know the two people they were talking about, so he could only express his views on the nature of the incident, and answered: "Sex is an animal instinct."
The girls who were embarrassed to mention "doing" publicly were immediately shocked.
...
On this side, Zhao Han trembled and replied: "You..."
Xu Xu replied: "?"
As soon as I finished the question mark, I heard a slow voice behind me: "Xu Xu, come to my office."
Xu Xu turned his head and saw Ji Bai holding a cup, still steaming, probably just coming back from the tea room. He glanced at her condescendingly, turned around and walked into the office.
Xu Xu didn't feel that he was saying anything too much, but Ji Bai saw her commenting on him, and he felt that it was still a little wrong, so he immediately got up and followed in.
As soon as he sat down, Ji Bai glanced at her and said indifferently: "By my standards, morning exercise is just a warm-up, and the formal torture has not begun yet."
Xu Xu: "..."
Ji Bai opened a document and threw it to her: "This is a report that my superior wants, and I will hand it over before getting off work tomorrow."
Xu Xu took it, flipped through it, and asked a few unclear places. Ji Bai was about to answer, but his phone rang.
It was an important phone call. He picked up the phone and stood up, signaled Xu Xu to wait for a while, and walked into the small conference room next door.
He didn't say he wanted her to leave, but Xu Xu naturally sat and waited honestly. After a while, he finished the documents. Before Ji Bai came back, she looked up boredly and looked around.
It was afternoon when the sun came in from a large window, painting the floor in a golden and warm color. The water-milled marble tabletop seemed to be stained with the dry smell of sunlight.
Ji Bai's office chair is also more comfortable than outside, wide and solid. Xu Xu sat in the sun for a while and felt a little sleepy. He leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes relaxedly to ponder.
After Ji Bai finished the phone call, he just walked into the office and saw that Xu Xu was already asleep.
Her small body was curled up in a wide chair, her head was slightly raised, and her arms were placed on the armrests, and her movements were as mature as a middle-aged man. Her face looked a little bad, and her dark eyebrows were slightly frowning, as if she was deeply tired.
It seems that the little one is indeed exhausted.
Ji Bai looked at her for a few seconds, let her pace lightly, returned to her seat and sat down, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it.
Give her ten minutes.
However, Xu Xu woke up in less than a minute.
He was awakened by the slight rustling sound of flipping the pages. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Bai sitting opposite him at some point, his handsome face was slightly drooping, holding a cigarette in one hand and flipping through the documents with no expression.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but it was too much for her to fall asleep in front of her superiors at work. Especially Ji Bai, who was still so strict, immediately sweated coldly on her back and her face turned pale.
Ji Bai didn't raise his head and asked slowly: "Are you still satisfied with my office sleeping conditions?"
So Xu Xu's face became even more ugly: "I'm sorry."
I thought Ji Bai would be more harshly criticized and ridiculed, but he changed his subject: "What else did you know just now?"
Xu Xu was stunned and talked about her work questions. Ji Bai answered one by one, but did not mention the embarrassing thing about her sleeping again.
Overall, in the first week of Ji Bai's return, Xu Xu lived a life worse than death. Every day, both mentally and physically, he was exhausted, and fell asleep when he got home from get off work, and his appetite increased significantly.
Xu Jun felt distressed when he saw her depressed look. But he was a tough and diligent person. He believed that training was good for his sister, so he didn't say much. He just said that since he was disappointed in his career, he had to strive for a happy love scene. He made an appointment with her on Friday. A high-quality IT man must be on time.
On Friday morning, Xu Xu finally completed the great task of ten laps. While sitting in the small conference room for breakfast, he asked Ji Bai, would he still need training on Saturday and Sunday?
Ji Bai replied, don’t you have dinner on Saturdays and Sundays?
So Xu Xu was speechless.
When it was time to get off work, Xu Xu was already depressed. But because of the blind date in the evening, she could only think of seeing her earlier, completing the task, and going home to sleep.
She went directly to the parking lot of the bureau, and Xu Jun came to pick her up. As soon as she got down to the basement, she saw Ji Bai walking out of another passage.
The clear voice of "Xu Xu" was Xu Jun, wearing a fine black suit, sitting in his Mercedes-Benz, with a smile in his eyes. He just saw her simple shirt and casual pants, frowned, "You're wearing this kind of dress to go on a blind date?"
Xu Xu looked down at himself: "So?"
Xu Jun stopped talking. Xu Xu turned around and said, "Captain Ji, goodbye."
Ji Bai actually glanced at her, nodded, and walked towards the car next to her.
