Chapter 12(1/2)
"Love at first sight" is a bit exaggerated, but Ye Zixiao knew very well that he was indeed attracted by Xu Xu.
On the setting sun that day, there was such a petite and pale girl with blood on her face. The scene of giving orders to him impatiently was too visually impactful. He thought she was cool, exciting, and cute.
If you like it, go after it. This is the simplest truth for him.
Later, she pestered her for a day, but she never looked at him. At first, she was a little frustrated and bored. But later she stood behind her and watched her frown and squat on the grass, facing the scene of the murder for more than an hour. When she stood up, her legs were obviously numb, and she staggered before she stood firm. She jumped in place in a daze, and her legs were moved freely.
At that time, he was a little angry: If he became her little girlfriend, how could she work so hard? He had to be spoiled in heaven and earth, and do whatever he wanted. He didn't have to touch his hands or face murder, and he was sweet all day long.
...
The night is blurry and the lights are gentle.
Ye Zixiao pretended to be fine and reached out to Xu Xu: "Hello, Miss Xu, we have seen it. My name is Ye Zixiao."
Xu Xu frowned, and was about to say that you were bored, but when he raised his eyes, he saw his brother's gentle and encouraging gaze.
She suddenly remembered Ji Bai's words: Xu Xu, it is necessary to understand some human nature.
I also remembered my brother's words just now: Since you are here today, you must give me this face and finish this meal.
After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand lightly: "Hello."
A faint smile of success flashed in Ye Zixiao's beautiful eyes, and she held her little hand into her palm, but was slightly stunned and unexpectedly cold and smooth. The next second, she had already pulled back with force.
The three of them sat down, Xu Jun was watching with the menu, and Xu Xu stared at the desktop.
Ye Zixiao: "What are Miss Xu's hobbies?"
Xu Xu didn't plan to really pay attention to him and replied: "Apart from work, there is no hobby."
Ye Zixiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's such a coincidence, so do I."
Xu Xu was silent.
Xu Jun looked at the two of them and smiled.
Ye Zixiao asked again: "I heard that you are studying criminal psychology, so what are you studying? Is it the same as American TV series?"
Xu Xu: "When I was in school, I mainly studied three aspects: one is to establish a database and behavioral model of various types of criminals in China; the other is to study the impact of China's family environment on the criminal behavioral model of adults; the third is..." She said a lot of very professional and obscure explanations.
Ye Zixiao nodded frequently when he heard this, his lips were smiling lightly and his eyes were shining.
Xu Jun: "Why is it so complicated? I don't understand."
Ye Zixiao: "I don't understand either. But I feel that Xu Xu is really good at speaking."
So when he asked again, Xu Xu always answered "Yes", "Yes", "I don't know".
I finally waited for Xu Jun to go to the bathroom halfway through.
Only the two of them were left, Ye Zixiao looked at her and smiled, but Xu Xu was straight to the point: "This blind date has no meaning, I will not accept you."
However, to her surprise, Ye Zixiao was not surprised or angry at all, but looked very gentle and nodded.
Then he spoke: "Xu Xu, I know that my previous behavior was a bit abrupt, which left a bad impression on you, and also interfered with your criminal police work. I apologize to you."
He admitted his mistake so sincerely that Xu Xu was not a mean person and nodded: "I accept it. I didn't take it to heart, you don't have to care."
Ye Zixiao smiled deeper, revealing her white teeth: "Since everyone has not taken the past to heart, then I will be your blind date tonight. I hope you can give me a chance to understand me first and then decide whether to reject me:
I am 25 years old this year, I am healthy, have no bad habits and no criminal record. I have good financial conditions and I should have no problems in letting you live a life of food and clothing in the future. My graduation score abroad is the top 10, and I have excellent IQ test level, which is good for the next generation;
The most important thing is that I have a good impression of you. If I start dating, I will take this relationship seriously.
So, can you think about it?"
Xu Xu was stunned.
This is the first time someone has a long and outspoken confession to her, and he has made some sense.
In fact, Ye Zixiao was indeed prepared and made a special trip to ask Xu Xu's preferences with Xu Jun. Although Xu Jun was not helping outsiders, he could still give him some advice. He told him, my sister likes to analyze everything, so don't treat her as an ordinary vanity girl, and impress her with sincerity.
Ye Zixiao thought about it over and over again and prepared this statement. It really fits Xu Xu's logical habits and lets her listen.
Seeing her a little dazed, Ye Zixiao felt joy in his heart and asked again: "Can I act like you as your default?"
Xu Xu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Sorry, I'm a little tired. My thinking is not very clear, which affects my judgment. You ask me to concentrate on thinking for a few minutes and give you a reply." Then he looked at the time on his watch and began to meditate expressionlessly.
Ye Zixiao was a little unbelievable, and a little funny. She was actually concentrating on thinking?
If someone else did this, Ye Zixiao would not leave with a sneer. Even if he pursued her, when did Ye Si become fish on the chopping board, waiting for the woman to declare the final result? Or in person?
But the object was Xu Xu. He knew that she had no intention of humiliation or arrogance. She was just thinking seriously...
Moreover, love is not a professional problem. She actually said, "I don't think clearly, so I have to concentrate on thinking." In his opinion, he was obviously moved by him, so hesitated, okay? Then why are hesitating? What's wrong with him? What's wrong with Ye Zixiao?
Although I thought so, looking at her frowning brows, Ye Zixiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After about a minute, Xu Xu raised his head and looked very calm: "I've thought about it, sorry, I can't accept it."
Ye Zixiao's face changed slightly, and he asked almost immediately: "Why?"
Xu Xu hesitated for a moment, slowed down his tone and replied: "Thank you very much for your favor. Your conditions are very good, but I really don't like your type. The conditions can be improved, but the preferences are difficult to control. Sorry."
When Xu Jun came back, he saw Ye Zixiao leaning on the back of the chair, looking out the window, his face looking a little ugly; Xu Xu was holding his cell phone, his fingers sliding, but his face turned a little red.
Xu Jun didn't ask, sat down and started talking about business.
That night, Ye Zixiao did not talk to Xu Xu, and Xu Jun did not make any more connections. Xu Xu put away his cell phone and listened quietly to them.
After dinner, he went to pick up the car. Xu Jun said, "Xu Xu, go to the car and wait for me. Mr. Ye and I will smoke a cigarette."
Xu Xu said "Oh" and left. The two men lit a cigarette. Xu Jun smiled and said, "My sister has a straight personality, is not good at interpersonal relationships, and I am also spoiled. I won't call her next time I eat."
Ye Zixiao could clearly hear that Xu Jun was giving him a way out for the failed blind date today.
He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Xu in the distance, smiled and replied, "If you don't call her, I will make an appointment by myself. The brother of Jinshi is so sincere that he will not interfere with his sister's freedom of making friends, right?"
Xu Jun was a little surprised and smiled: "Okay, don't interfere, just follow her."
In fact, Ye Zixiao was very angry at the time. He thought this woman was too stubborn and too disrespectful.
But I was so angry that I was unwilling to accept it, so I didn't believe I couldn't catch this little girl
This idea may be caused by the desire to conquer, and he also knew that it was because of her rejection that he aroused his greater interest. But what does it matter? It is natural for men to conquer women.
In Xu Xu's opinion, Ye Zixiao's matter has been resolved, and she didn't know that he was planning to make a comeback. Although she had to get up early this weekend, she could rest at home during the day, so she recovered a lot.
On Sunday afternoon, she made a small pot of porridge for herself. She lived alone, had a full meal, and had a small pot left. She didn't like wasting food and planned to take it to the police station for breakfast tomorrow. But she still couldn't finish it. Naturally, she remembered Ji Bai and sent him a text message: "I made porridge, how much, do you want it tomorrow morning?"
Ji Bai replied quickly: "What's the content?"
“Red bean porridge.”
Ji Bai replied: "Okay."
After that, the week was calm, and Xu Xu gradually adapted to the devil training. Although the two of them exercised together every day, they didn't talk much and basically ran their own ways. Occasionally, Xu Xu brought breakfast and learned his lessons, so he prepared one for Ji Bai.
The two of them have only their usual communications. The Yang Yu case has been completely over, and there have been no cases recently.
To avoid panic, the police station did not disclose this case to the society. Therefore, most people in Lin City do not know. A very small number of people who have heard of the park blades also think it was a prank for teenagers, and the case itself did not have any social impact in Lin City.
However, everyone in the team knew about Team Ji's physical training. During lunch that day, everyone comforted Xu Xu in front of Ji Bai, saying that although the process was cruel, the result would be very good. The last time Team Ji personally captured his subordinates' physical fitness was three years ago, a relatively thin boy, who started with thirty laps a day. Now he is the pillar of the East District Branch, and he can run and fight, and has a tough guy with eight-pack abs.
Xu Xu nodded to show that he was taught.
It was at this time that Yao Meng realized that Ji Bai was personally training Xu Xu every day.
Instead of making fun of her, she looked at Ji Bai who was smiling and Xu Xu who blushed slightly, and was silent for a while.
She felt uncomfortable. The feeling was mixed with a little favor for Ji Bai, a little unwillingness, and a little powerlessness. She felt a sense of loneliness that was left far behind but could not be changed.
In fact, from the day Ji Bai came back, this feeling in her heart began to sprout.
She clearly remembered that that day he was wearing a black windbreaker, tall and upright, and was more handsome than any man she had ever seen. At that time, she thought that he was really outstanding, regardless of appearance or talent.
If you want to say a goal, then Yao Meng is sure now that she hopes to be a person like Ji Bai. Because they are originally the same type of people, with the same outstanding appearance, speaking with the same strength, and being equally mature and sophisticated.
But it was such a person who made her look up to, a person with a high position in the police force, who accepted Xu Xu as his apprentice. However, she followed Officer Wu, who was about to retire. Her origin in the police station was a little shorter than Xu Xu.
Now, Ji Bai also takes Xu Xu to practice in the morning every day and spends time together. She even has intuition about what else would happen between these two people.
That's what she doesn't want to see, she's afraid to see.
Because my home is not in Lin City, Ji Bai is almost the last to leave after get off work every day.
Xu Xu stayed very late on that day because he had to complete the work assigned by Ji Bai. Yao Meng stayed there and couldn't explain his mentality. She knew that this was a bit blind and irrational, but during the day she heard that Ji Bai personally took Xu Xu, and now she looked at the lights in Ji Bai's office, so she didn't want to leave.
Finally it was past nine o'clock, Ji Bai turned off the lights and walked out. Yao Meng heard the sound of footsteps and did not look at his direction. Instead, she turned off the computer and stood up, lowered her head to sort out her bag.
Ji Bai first glanced at Xu Xu who was still typing, and then looked at Yao Meng: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Yao Meng smiled at him: "I left. I didn't finish my work just now."
Ji Bai walked to Xu Xu and stopped: "Why don't you leave? Can you get up tomorrow?"
Xu Xu was shocked and looked up at the clock, said "Oh" and began to pack up his things.
The three of them walked downstairs together. Xu Xu and Ji Bai were going to the basement to pick up the car. Yao Meng gathered his scarf and rubbed his hands: "Then I'll leave first." After saying that, he turned around, feeling a little disappointed and a little self-deprecating. He felt like he was doing a bad performance. Although he was a bad one, he couldn't see it.
"Wait." At this moment, Ji Bai's low voice sounded, Yao Meng's heart suddenly raised and turned to look at him. She clearly felt her heartbeat was speeding up.
"There is no bus now. How do you go back?" Ji Bai said.
