Chapter 5

When encountering setbacks, Xu Xu's reaction is different from his peers.

Most young people have a strong desire to realize their self-worth, so they care more about "feelings" and "gains and losses". Only after several years of social training can they more or less develop a calm temperament of "not being happy with things but not being sad with themselves". This calmness is sometimes a kind of numbness.

But Xu Xu is born to care more about "what should happen" and does not have a particularly strong desire to "what kind of person I must become". She is engaged in criminal psychology research because she is interested and good at it. She does not pay much attention to other people or even her own feelings. This characteristic makes her calmer than ordinary people, but it also lacks a lot of human feelings.

So this night, after being scolded by Ji Bai quite severely, she did feel a brief sense of grievance and discomfort, but when she walked out of the park gate, she had completely returned to normal.

It was midnight, the streets were deep, the street lights were dim, and there was no trace of people. Xu Xu looked at the narrow reflection, thinking that Ji Bai was right. In the end, in addition to saving people, she did not play any other role at the scene, and she also delayed her homework. So she should go back and work overtime with peace of mind.

In addition, what she was more interested in was the "intuition" and "experience" of the criminal police that Ji Bai mentioned. That was exactly what she lacked. Thinking of this, she even felt a little happy.

The moon is cold and the stars are sparse, and the night is long.

Finally finished the report, Xu Xu stared at the words on the screen and felt a sudden fatigue.

Then I realized that my whole right wrist was sore and numb, and my whole body seemed to be falling apart. Yes, today I was exhausted a lot of energy, stopped bleeding from the injured, ran around the park, and then stayed up all night.

Although I really wanted to go to bed, after sending the email to Ji Bai, Xu Xu thought for a while and still called him.

Because she remembered that he got angry today, right?

Although he was not in good control of his emotions, as an apprentice and subordinate, she had to take the initiative to call to ease the relationship.

She still understands this kind of human nature.

In the quiet night, the mechanical "beep" sound seemed particularly empty. After a few sounds, he picked it up, and did not speak immediately, but could only vaguely hear the sound of breathing.

"Hello, Team Ji." Xu Xu reported steadily, "I just sent the report to your email address. Please check it. The report is divided into four parts, and there are seventeen attachments that are related information..."

"Xu Xu." Ji Bai interrupted her.

Xu Xu stopped immediately and waited for instructions.

"At four o'clock in the morning, I woke up my boss and reported a report that was not painful. Don't you want to continue to be in the criminal police team?"

Xu Xu then looked at the time on the computer: 4:07.

I was silent for a moment: "Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time. And you said yesterday that I asked me to send it to you before 6 o'clock, and now it is before 6 o'clock."

The other end was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed softly, and his voice became lazy: "Tell me, I've woken up anyway."

"oh."

She started to report without any rush, but there were rustling sounds from the other end of the phone, rustling sounds of the faucets, clanging windows, and crisp sounds of a spoon hitting the wall of the cup.

Xu Xu suddenly remembered that when he was having a video call with him yesterday, he heard someone telling him to drink. It was already 12 o'clock.

So he was a hangover and woken up by his phone?

"What are you stunned?" He keenly noticed her distraction.

Xu Xu continued.

The messy sound on the other end of the phone disappeared, only his slightly long breathing sound, probably smoking. Xu Xu wrapped himself in a quilt and held his phone in front of the computer. The surroundings were cold and quiet, and only his voice, with "um" from time to time, casual, but low and powerful.

An irrelevant picture suddenly appeared in Xu Xu's mind Ji Bai was also wrapped in a quilt and lying on the bed to call her. This picture made her feel a little weird: she didn't know what a tall and strict man would look like when he was nestled on the bed.

In the picture, the man's face is blurry. She saw his photos in the information and vaguely remembered his facial features, but in fact she didn't care much about what he looked like, but instead she was a few photos of wanted criminals. She studied facial features for a long time and could copy them at any time.

In fact, Ji Bai did stuff himself into the quilt, wrapping it like a big bear, and talking to Xu Xu. Beijing in early spring was also full of coldness, especially around sunrise, which was extremely cold. What's more, he didn't sleep at three o'clock in the morning and drank a stomach full of wine, and had a headache like someone was shooting with a machine gun inside.

Xu Xu was very dedicated to the report, but he actually didn't listen to it at all, nor did he open her report to read it.

After reading a report she submitted before, it was not only qualified, but far exceeded his requirements. For such a smart and self-disciplined subordinate, he certainly would not waste his energy and read the dense reports.

However, she doesn't have to know. She still needs to be tempered.

The sky outside the window was still dark. Ji Bai lit a cigarette, closed his eyes, and took a nap in a daze, occasionally echoing her to show that he existed. It was very quiet around him, and he found that the girl's voice was different from others. Although his voice was very soft, he spoke in a very low tone. It sounded quite comfortable, and the more he listened, the more he wanted to sleep... Damn, the cigarette butt burned his hands, he woke up in a terrifying way, but said to her lazily: "Well, this part is written more rigorously."

The next day, Xu Xu went to work with dark circles.

Because of her pale skin and a thin face, her two circles were particularly black. As soon as she entered the office, she felt several people staring at her. She sat down without looking sideways, but she saw a bright red banner and a large bouquet of tender white roses on the table.

A pennant wrote: Be brave and heroic, and the style of a woman.

The signature is Ye Zixi.

It turned out that the woman I saved yesterday was named Ye Zixi. Xu Xu thought the name sounded a bit familiar and had heard it in the news.

No wonder I was able to find her so quickly and even send her a banner.

"Papapapapapapa" warm applause suddenly rang out. When Xu Xu looked up, he realized that everyone had stood up and smiled at him and applauded.

"Salute" Officer Wu, who was over 40 years old, was like a loud bell, and everyone raised their right hands together to pay tribute to her.

Xu Xu immediately raised his hand to salute, but faced with countless bright and smiling eyes, his face slightly hot.

"Xu Xu, good." Officer Wu praised.

"Don't look at Xu Xu's small size, he is very magnanimous when encountering big things." said a humane person.

"Xu Xu, you saved Ye Zixi," Zhao Han said with a smile, "She often accepts interviews and goes to magazines."

Xu Xu avoided everyone's sight and answered honestly: "It's just a simple first aid for wrist bleeding. Every senior here will do better than me. But I happened to meet it."

Everyone laughed. It was not easy to say that she was a newcomer.

Xu Xu looked at everyone's gentle smiles and suddenly understood.

Compared with the work of a criminal policeman, what she does is indeed something that is not worth mentioning.

They took this opportunity to help her integrate into the criminal police team.

Xu Xu was a little moved, blushed and sat down silently.

At this time, Yao Meng smiled and said, "I suggest that everyone have dinner together at noon to celebrate Xu Xu." At the same time, he gave Xu Xu a wink. Xu Xu understood that she meant to take this opportunity to get closer to everyone. Xu Xu nodded to her and said, "Yes, I'll treat everyone to dinner."

Everyone laughed and said how could you make your little girl spend money, but the dinner was decided.

After working for a while, Xu Xu was summoned by the director.

It turned out that Ye Zixi's pennant and flowers were sent directly to the director and then handed over to her.

She is an executive of Ye Group, a celebrity in the business world in the city. She usually has a good relationship with the mayor and various government agencies. When she received her banner, the director felt that she was very proud and praised Xu Xu.

Seeing that Xu Xu didn't say a few words for a while, the director didn't care much, but instead felt that the girl was really good. He said with a smile: "You didn't say your name yesterday, but when she called, I knew it was you."

Xu Xu nodded: "My appearance characteristics are quite obvious."

The director was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

The place for lunch was set in a small restaurant not far from the police station. On the way to the trip, everyone was in groups of three or three, Yao Meng and Xu holding hands. Xu Xu was a little uncomfortable, but looking at her bright and friendly eyes, he silently told himself to get used to it.

Yao Meng asked: "What did the director ask you to do? I'm praising you for saving people."

Xu Xu nodded.

Yao Meng looked at her angrily and whispered: "You, why don't you invite the director to come and have lunch together?"

Xu Xu was silent, never thought about it.

The meal was very pleasant.

Xu Xu didn't know that the men in the criminal police team were so poor and so able to talk, and laughed constantly during the meal. There was also a pleasing beauty like Yao Meng, who was organizing to add water and add food to everyone, and the chat atmosphere became even more lively.

They also talked about Ji Bai. Officer Wu said that Team Ji hasn't been home for three years, so he must relax this time before he will come back. Zhao Han said that the director specifically instructed him not to disturb his boss's vacation in any case recently. Some people also said, Xiao Xu, you must work hard with Team Ji, and this opportunity is not something that everyone has.

Xu Xu nodded frequently, thinking that Ji Bai's prestige in the police force turned out to be so high.

When checking out, Xu Xu just took out his wallet and was stopped. Several big men rushed to pay. Zhao Han said loudly: "Don't just rob the boss, he would like to ask for this."

He shouted, and everyone stopped moving. Zhao Han said while taking out his wallet: "I just sent him a text message saying that he was having a dinner party, and he said he would keep his account."

Everyone said "Oh" and naturally took all their wallets. Xu Xu was about to say that I would do it, but suddenly he felt Yao Meng pinch his hand.
