Chapter 42
Ah Ci was startled, and said, "Well, he can drink quite well."
"It's not a question of whether he can drink well or not. When he was first transferred here, Xiang Yang and the others were very unconvinced, and they also drank him alcohol, and he drank no less than tonight. But even if he was so drunk, he could hardly stand up." , his mind can still stay clear, and he will never do anything like a drunken madness." Zou Yun said, "I have known him for more than 20 years, and basically since I can remember, he has been praised by people for being very sensible, whether it is study or life. In terms of being a human being, he never needs to be worried about. His academic performance has always been top-notch, and his work ability is also very strong. Even in social aspects, he can always be impeccable."
A Ci frowned after hearing Zou Yun's words.
Zou Yun glanced at him, and then said: "Everyone says that the only shortcoming of Jian Yan is that he is too lazy. But, they don't know that my brother is actually a bit of a clean freak, and the house is always tidy. The so-called Laziness is just a layer of protection. Most of the emotions he shows outside are staged. After his uncle and aunt had an accident, he closed himself up for so long that he almost thought , The brief statement from the performance is the real brief statement."
Ah Ci moved his lips, but did not speak, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"Actually, I have always hoped that my brother could get married and have children. I am not discriminating against homosexuals. I really think this road is too difficult. Without the constraints of marriage and children, he may not find The person who can accompany him for the rest of his life." Zou Yun continued, "But after meeting you, he really changed completely. In fact, when you first met, I could tell that my brother likes you .Later, I observed many times. He couldn't hide his emotions in front of you. I've never seen such a simple statement. I didn't believe in the so-called love at first sight before. In fact, I haven't figured it out until now. , What is the reason why he likes you so much. But, I'm sure, because of you, he has become different. He has become... flesh and blood, and has feelings. I can see that you also really like my brother. I may not understand your feelings, but I sincerely hope that you will be happy. After 20 years, my brother finally found someone who can open his heart, and I don’t want to see him close himself again.”
"So, Ah Ci, I am very grateful to you for saving Jianyan. At the same time, I also want to beg you, if you decide, you must keep going, okay?" Zou Yun's last words were a little choked up.
"Daughter-in-law..." Jian Yan couldn't wait for Ah Ci in the car, and finally got impatient, and leaned on the window and yelled.
After sending Zou Yun away, Jian Yan grabbed his arm as soon as Ah Ci got into the car: "Daughter-in-law, why did you leave me alone..."
Ah Ci helplessly tore off Jian Yan's hand, looked at his sparkling eyes when he was drunk, but couldn't help staring at him stupidly.
"Daughter-in-law, I want to kiss you..."
While Jian Yan was talking, she wanted to climb to A Ci's side, but she didn't notice that she was trapped by the safety belt, and she couldn't get out no matter what, and finally became anxious.
Ah Ci looked funny, pushed him back, and suddenly asked: "Jian Yan, what do you like about me?"
Jian Yan understood this sentence, tilted her head to think for a while, and said: "I like you as my wife..."
Ah Ci was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and leaned over to kiss Jian Yan on the lips.
Simply put, I was satisfied and never made a fuss again.
But Jian Yan is a big man after all, after Ah Ci brought him home, he was already exhausted.Who knew that Jian Yan was still hugging Ah Ci tightly, never letting go, and not letting him go to wash up.
What about the little cleanliness?
But there was no way to reason with the drunk, so in the end Ah Ci had to compromise, and the two just hugged each other and slept all night.
-
The next day, as soon as A Ci arrived at the office, a colleague came to him: "A Ci, Director Zou is looking for you."
A Ci knocked on the door outside Zou Hongshuo's office.
"Come in." Zou Hongshuo's voice was as majestic as ever.
Ah Ci pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Zou Hongshuo staring out the window, wondering what he was thinking, with a serious expression that seemed a little sad.
"Zou Ju." Ah Ci called out.
"Coming?" Zou Hongshuo looked away, glanced at Ah Ci, and said, "Sit."
Ah Ci sat down, but Zou Hongshuo didn't speak. Instead, he picked up the cigarette case next to him, took out one and lit it.
Then the moment he put it back, he seemed to suddenly think of something, handed it to Ah Ci, and asked, "Would you like one?"
Ah Ci glanced at him, took it seriously, and took out one with great skill to light it.
Seeing Zou Hongshuo staring at him, Ah Ci narrowed his eyes: "What? Don't you know that I smoke?"
"I know." Zou Hongshuo also squinted his eyes and said, "But, I don't think you smoke in front of Jian Yan."
Observation is very meticulous.
Ah Ci leaned forward, leaned his elbows on the desk, rested his chin on the back of his hand, stared at Zou Hongshuo for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Are you worried that I will lie to Senior Brother?"
Zou Hongshuo also smiled: "Ah, I just said it casually."
"I smoke, but I'm not addicted." Ah Ci said suddenly, "I only smoke when I'm in a bad mood."
The implication is that in front of Jian Yan, he will not be in a bad mood, and naturally he will not smoke.
"Are you in a bad mood now?" Zou Hongshuo was noncommittal to his explanation.
Ah Ci: "Yes."
Zou Hongshuo: "Why?"
A Ci: "Because you are in a bad mood, every time you are in a bad mood, I am very worried."
"What are you worried about?" Zou Hongshuo frowned, "I remember, I was pretty good to you."
"You obviously don't like me in your heart, but you still treat me well on the surface, can I not worry?" A Ci smiled and said, without any worry or displeasure.
Zou Hongshuo stared at Ah Ci for a while, then suddenly changed the subject: "Yesterday, Jian Yan came to see me."
"What is he looking for you for...?" Ah Ci slightly tightened his fingers holding the cigarette.
Zou Hongshuo saw his actions, paused, and said, "He came to beg me to keep you in the serious crime team."
Ah Ci was stunned, and then said: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, I didn't intend to leave now."
"You're so smart, don't you really understand? In short, it's not now, it's forever, it's a lifetime!" Zou Hongshuo seemed a little agitated, took a puff of cigarette, and then calmed down a little, and continued, "Aci, seek skin with a tiger, Absolutely not a wise move."
Ah Ci didn't speak, just looked at Zou Hongshuo, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
Zou Hongshuo finally sighed, and said like a compromise, "I don't dislike you."
"Huh?" Ah Ci was taken aback by this sentence.
"I admit, I really hope that Jian Yan can marry a wife and have children like a normal person. Sorry, in my eyes, you are really abnormal." Zou Hongshuo lit another cigarette and continued, "Otherwise, After I died, I really didn't have the face to meet Jian Yan's parents. However, I raised Jian Yan, and I know exactly what kind of temperament he is. It looks easy to talk, but in fact, the things he recognized, nine The cow can't be pulled back, and his stubborn temper is exactly the same as his father's back then. He told the whole police station that you were deliberately troubled at the beginning, and he was actually telling me that this was his decision. He has decided You are gone, there is no turning back."
"My distress for Jian Yan is no less than that for Xiao Yun. I have never been able to change the decision Jian Yan made, and I don't want to change now. Even if I have no face to see his parents in the future, I don't want to watch him now. He is sad. So, you can do whatever you like, and I don't care about you."
"But Ah Ci, I understand better than anyone else the feeling of losing a loved one. Jian Yan has already experienced it once, and I don't want him to suffer it again. You are smart, tough, calm and decisive. You are a policeman. I have always They all admire you very much, otherwise they would not have tried to get you to the serious crime unit. However, smart people are often misled by their cleverness. When you think you are plotting against others, you don’t know that others are plotting against you. You have to I won't stop you from being with Jian Yan, but I hope that you can stay by his side in peace and stability, and don't do those things that make people worry."
A Ci's eyes are a bit sore, Zou Hongshuo and Zou Yun are different.After all, Zou Yun is young, so it is easier to think about anything.But Zou Hongshuo is different. He is actually not open-minded. It is really difficult for him to accept homosexuality.
Zou Hongshuo has always been a taciturn man, it was better when he was young.Later, his lover and old friend passed away one after another, and he raised his two children to grow up. Needless to say the hardships involved, he became less and less talkative.Even at work, Zou Hongshuo tried his best to be as concise as possible. Today, he suddenly said so many heartfelt words, all of which were full of love for Jianyan, and Ah Ci couldn't help but be moved.
A Ci himself is also a sensitive person, he can feel the torment in Zou Hongshuo's heart, that's why he said that Zou Hongshuo didn't like him.However, he did not expect that Zou Hongshuo would compromise so quickly for the sake of simplicity.
"It's not seeking skin with a tiger." A Ci said softly, "First of all, he is not a tiger. Although his methods are a bit extreme, the people he deals with are all really guilty people. Secondly, our goals are the same, there is no Potential conflict of interest. So..."
Ah Ci smiled: "It's not about seeking skin from a tiger, at most, we're working together."
Because Zou Hongshuo wanted to get Ah Ci to the serious crime team before, he did know a lot about him.Hearing him say that made me feel a lot more relaxed, and I couldn't help but glared at him again: "Where does anyone describe himself like that?"
"Look at this." A Ci didn't explain, took out his mobile phone, and showed Zou Hongshuo a text message.
Zou Hongshuo took the phone in confusion, and after seeing the contents clearly, he was suddenly surprised: "You are checking... The reason for your cooperation with Shang is for Jianyan?"
"Well." Ah Ci nodded, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Zou Ju, I do things properly. There may be some things that I can't explain to you now. But you believe me, not only you, lost I have also felt the pain of my beloved. Therefore, I will not take my life as a joke, and I will not let my brother worry about me."
"Since you say so, I will believe you once." Zou Hongshuo hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "But, how did you know about this?"
"I know everything about him." Ah Ci lowered his head and said.
Zou Hongshuo was still puzzled: "Jian Yan told me that he fell in love with you at first sight, but you clearly did these things before you met Jian Yan. At that time, why did you do these things? Before you met him , you like him?"
"Actually, we met eight years ago, he just doesn't remember."
"Eight years ago?" Zou Hongshuo pondered for a moment, "You are from Linpei City, so you were there when that case happened?"
Aji nodded.
Zou Hongshuo didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly smiled: "Eight years ago, you were still a junior high school student, right?"
A Ci blushed inexplicably, and explained: "It was just worship back then."
"Oh, worship." Zou Hongshuo nodded, "So, you chose the police academy later?"
"Yeah." Ah Ci nodded again, "At that time, I felt that Senior Brother was very majestic, and he has always been my role model."
"It's good that you know it in your heart." Zou Hongshuo returned the phone to Ah Ci, and said, "But you still have to be careful about the surname Shang, even if he is not a tiger, he is still an old fox."
"Don't worry, I will be careful."
"That's fine, you can go back. I'll apply for the matter of you staying in the serious crime team." Zou Hongshuo said.
"Okay, thank you Director Zou."
After standing in the corridor for a while, Ah Ci walked back to the big office.
The door of the office was half open, and Ah Ci was about to walk in, but he heard Shen Bingnian saying: "Boss, aren't you surprised at all? Ah Ci seems to know a little too much, this case... ..."
Ah Ci stood there, suddenly embarrassed to go in, he was about to leave, when he heard Jian Yan interrupt Shen Bingnian: "I was earlier than you suspected, but..."
Briefly but before saying it, Shen Bingnian suddenly saw Ah Ci standing at the door, and exclaimed: "A Ci..."
There was an eerie silence in the office for a moment.
Ah Ci pushed open the door, and saw Jian Yan's panicked expression.
"I want to go see Professor Mi, senior brother, do you want to go with me?" Ah Ci smiled, as if he didn't hear their conversation at all.
Jian Yan recovered from the shock, he walked over, firmly grasping Ah Ci's hand, his voice was a little hoarse: "Yes, of course."
"Then let's go." Ah Ci didn't shake off Jian Yan's hand, let him hold it, and walked out together.
Shen Bingnian came back to her senses, and glanced at the eyes of her colleagues who were avoiding her, unable to express her pain.
This time, she really didn't want to sow discord.So many things have happened in the past few days, Jian Yan and A Ci's relationship, they all see it in their eyes.No matter how unwilling she is, she will not be so stupid as to continue provoking, let alone she has already decided to let go.
Shen Bingnian also knew that she was too emotional about what happened to Ah Ci before, and she was not someone who could afford it and couldn't let it go.After she decided to let go, she felt that the previous incident might cause a bit of awkwardness between her and Ah Ci.Therefore, she actually wanted to ease the relationship today on purpose. Just now, she just wanted to ask whether Ah Ci has any special abilities. It would be great if she could stay in the serious crime team.Unexpectedly, Jian Yan misunderstood and was heard by Ah Ci.Even if she has a mouth all over her body, she can't speak clearly.
When Ah Ci went down the stairs, he shook off Jian Yan's hand.
"A Ci..." Jian Yan's heart was beating wildly, and she wanted to reach out to pull A Ci again, but she didn't have the courage.
Ah Ci ignored him and walked straight forward.
Jian Yan followed behind, saw him go to the parking lot, then got into his own car, and got into the passenger cab, his beating heart calmed down a little, and he hurriedly got into the cab.
Seeing Jian Yan, Ah Ci was really frightened, his forehead was sweating, and his heart softened.In fact, he wasn't angry at all. He simply said that as a policeman, seeing so many suspicious points on him, it would be strange not to doubt him.The reaction just now was to tease Jian Yan, but he didn't expect that he would be so scared.As for what Shen Bingnian said, he didn't take it to heart at all.
My heart was sour and sweet, and after a pause, Ah Ci deliberately said with a straight face: "I'll give you a chance to explain."
Seeing Ah Ci's attitude, Jian Yan's heart returned to his stomach. He grabbed Ah Ci's hand and flattered him first: "I knew my wife was the most understanding, understanding, and most..."
"Don't say pull it down." A Ci made a gesture to withdraw his hand.
"Don't, don't..." Jian Yan hurriedly clenched his hand, and kissed it on his lips, before saying, "You do have many doubts, such as what you know about me, and how you always know about the case. I can catch the key at a glance, and I seem to know who the murderer is and where the clues are... I am a policeman, so it would be strange if I couldn't see it? But, I know my wife is not a bad person, so it's fine. none of it matters.”
A Ci was obviously dissatisfied with the answer and snorted.
"Actually, you never thought of hiding it from me, did you?" Holding A Ci's hand, Jian Yan's thinking ability slowly returned, "You never tried to hide all your doubts from me. "
Jian Yan paused, and asked, "Are you from the Second Office?"
A Ci was a little surprised by his question, thought for a while, and asked, "Zou Ju told you?"
"No." Jian Yan shook his head, "It's impossible for him to tell me this kind of thing because he's so old-fashioned. He only said that your identity needs to be kept secret."
"I guessed it myself." Jian Yan looked at A Ci with a look of "You see I'm amazing", as if waiting for his compliment.
Ah Ci: "...how did you guess it?"
"First of all, the appearance of Bureau Xie is very strange. There are not many people who can work for him. My wife is so young and her background is not prominent. The only thing that can make Bureau Xie nervous is your identity. It can make the chief of public security nervous I don’t have many identities. After thinking about it, there are only two secrets. Moreover, when you were not in Xiling, you couldn’t even get through your mobile phone, and you were shot... the only possibility is Going on a secret mission."
Speaking of this, thinking of Ah Ci's injury, he couldn't help but tighten his hands.
Ah Ci felt it, and held Jian Yan's hand instead, and said, "It's just a small injury."
Jian Yan took a look at Ah Ci, and said, "Yesterday, in the text message you showed me, the note was Director... Hey, I heard that it is true that Director Shang of yours is psychic. ?"
"Psychic?" Ah Ci was startled, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Probably..."
Jian Yan wanted to say something else, but Ah Ci suddenly said, "Ah, I remembered."
Briefly: "What do you remember?"
"Didn't you ask me what his name was last time? I remember now, his name is Shang Jing." Ah Ci said solemnly.
"The man last time was the legendary Shang Tiger?" Jian Yan was a little surprised, that man really didn't look like a tiger.However, the more like that, the more dangerous it is.
"Yeah." Ah Ci nodded, "However, I don't think he looks like a tiger, but more like a fox."
"Didn't you say you're just a passer-by? You still know so well!" Jian Yan snorted.
Ah Ci is innocent: "Didn't you ask me his name?"
"Then I take it back..." Jian Yan said angrily, "You should forget his name."
Seeing his childish behavior, Ah Ci couldn't help laughing.She thought to herself, since Jianyan is seven years older than him, shouldn't Jianyan come to coax him?Why is he coaxing Jian Yan instead?
"Are you going to agree or not?" Jian Yan couldn't help shaking his hand when he saw that Ah Ci was distracted.
A Ci recalled what Zou Yun said last night, and his heart softened, and he suddenly leaned over and kissed Jian Yan on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, I promise."
Jian Yan's behavior just now was almost unreasonable. He did it on purpose just to liven up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that Ah Ci would agree and even kissed him.
This was the first time that Ah Ci took the initiative to kiss himself when he was in a normal mood. Jianyan didn't remember the kiss last night at all, so he was instantly dumbfounded.When he came back to his senses, Ah Ci had already sat back.
Jian Yan felt that it was too much of a loss, so she couldn't help but moved over, but was pushed away by Ah Ci: "If you don't drive, we are going to the professor's house for lunch."
Although he was pushed away, Jian Yan got an active kiss from Ah Ci, and he was very happy in his heart. He started the car and did not forget to tune it.Play around with Ah Ci: "You hook me every time you get in the car. If you seduce me, how can I still drive?"
Ah Ci: ...
After a while, Ah Ci heard Jian Yan shout: "Daughter-in-law..."
At first, he didn't want to talk to him, but in a blink of an eye, seeing Jian Yan's serious expression, which didn't look like he was joking, he responded, "Huh?"
"Why did you go to the second office?" Jian Yan asked, "Before the old man told me that he had been in contact with you for a long time and planned to ask you directly to the serious crime team. And, you also agreed, why did you later Went to two places again? You told me last time, you will tell me later, can you tell me now?"
A Ci pondered for a while, then asked: "Is this answer important to you?"
"I'm just..." Jian Yan's voice was full of worry, "I've heard that because the second office involves secret missions, once you enter the second office, you can't come out for the rest of your life. Moreover, the second office Missions are always dangerous..."
A Ci hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, I'm not the official establishment of the Second Office, and I'm not bound by those."
Briefly: "Really?"
"I'm considered a foreign aid, Shang... whoever helped me, I promised to pay him back."
Ah Ci paused for a moment, and added: "Ju Zou told me just now that he is ready to apply, and I will stay in the serious crimes team from now on and will not leave."
Both "who" and "won't leave" greatly pleased Jian Yan, and his eyebrows and eyes were raised.If he wasn't driving now, he really wanted to kiss Ah Ci fiercely.
