Chapter 20

"Boss Zhou, to be honest, do you like me a little too?"

Seeing that Zhou Chengyuan didn't respond, Han Li continued to inch in.

Zhou Chengyuan avoided her gaze, and his voice was impatient, "You little girl, why are you so cheeky?"

Han Li pouted, "If you don't like me, why do you always come to me and bring me delicious food, if you don't like it, you can't hide, right?"

Because you're a stupid, very useful bait.

Zhou Chengyuan looked at Han Li's eyes.

He couldn't have said that.

"Han Li, how many people have you said to 'like you'?"

Han Li's throat choked.

She didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Chengyuan's words for a while.

Although she is a big character, it is really the first time for God to testify that she is so enthusiastic about "chasing" a person.

Han Li's grades have been very good since she was a child, and after her mother passed away, she studied hard, wanting to be admitted to a good university and become a criminal policeman in the future to investigate her mother's disappearance and the cause of her death, which she still can't believe.

Later, when she went to college, there was indeed no shortage of people around her who liked her and pursued her, but Han Li was busy with professional classes and physical training, sometimes even busier than in her third year of high school, and she had no time or heart to think about these things.

She has also met a lot of handsome boys, and some of them have thoughts, but they can make her pounce enthusiastically, as if it is still a little bit interesting, and if you get along for a while, it will always become boring.

Only Zhou Chengyuan.

Han Li didn't know why she could always be fearless and full of enthusiasm in the face of such a lukewarm person.

She has never been a person who is shy about expressing her emotions, whether she likes it or dislikes it, she will say it bluntly.

So for Zhou Chengyuan's overly enthusiastic liking, Han Li also felt that it was okay to say it.

She was such a girl who was willing to speak.

When did you start doing this to Zhou Chengyuan?

Maybe it was the first time I saw him, and when he leaned down to talk to her, there was a deliberate temptation in his eyes, or maybe it was when the two were exercising, he taught her to keep a proper distance from boys, or maybe it was at this time, he was obviously panicked, and he could still lower his eyes and make a gloomy face, and ask her, "How many people have you said the words 'like you'?"

Zhou Chengyuan seemed to have a magnetic field on his body that pulled Han Li, making her follow his direction unconsciously.

Helpless, and like, fate.

Han Li has always felt that "destined" is a very stupid and ridiculous idiom to deceive elementary school students.

"What's the matter? can't count, do you calculate in your heart?" Zhou Chengyuan's cool voice spit out a string of unpleasant words.

Han Li came back to his senses and was confident, "How is it possible? I have never said the word 'like' to anyone, you are the first!"

She unconsciously let Zhou Chengyuan take the initiative.

"Oh?" Zhou Chengyuan pursed his lips and smiled slightly, the eyes behind the lenses looked at Han Li, "I'm 11 years older than you, and I say that I am a little older, almost a generation behind you, and I also have a lot of my own things to be busy with, I have a knot to solve persistently, and a career height to pursue, so, Han Li, I don't have time to play college students' love games with you, and I don't want to play either, understand?"

Han Li seemed to understand, and spoke for a long time, "It's okay, I don't think you're old." ”

......

"You ......" Zhou Chengyuan was choked speechless.

How could he forget? What he was facing in front of him was Han Li, this non-human girl with a brain circuit different from ordinary people, how could she understand Zhou Chengyuan's tactful refusal?

"I'm not joking, you really don't have to have the inferiority complex of an old cow eating tender grass. The corners of Han Li's lips rose, as if she was smiling, "No one can only do one thing in their life, right?" What's more, Boss Zhou, you are so good, you can't be a single-celled creature that can only work on a single thread, right?"

Zhou Chengyuan sighed, "Han Li, don't you understand?" I mean......"

"I understand, you mean, you're rejecting me," Han Li interrupted him, "Boss Zhou, I'm not the kind of person who stalks, but I'm not a piece of wood either, since you don't like me, be a good person to the end, don't take the initiative to find me again, you come to the police station to wait for me, you call me in the middle of the night, these ...... I'll be misunderstood. If I misunderstand, it will make you feel uncomfortable. ”

The little fox who was still cunning one second, why is there a sparkling mist in his eyes the next second?

Zhou Chengyuan looked at Han Li and was slightly stunned.

"I'm just cheeky, Boss Zhou, you better reject me directly, don't leave me any leeway. Han Li said.

Zhou Chengyuan looked into her eyes and opened his mouth.

Is it really just because of the pendant that I want to see her?

Zhou Chengyuan stood up suddenly, took out a few pieces of cash and threw them on the table in annoyance, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." I'll invite you for this meal. ”

"Hey, Boss Zhou. Han Li grabbed his sleeve.

Zhou Chengyuan's mind was not on these, and this time he didn't shake it off nervously. He looked sideways and frowned slightly.

"You haven't rejected me outright. ”

Zhou Chengyuan's tone was very bad, "Why should I cater to your habits and do what I want to do? ”

He broke free from Han Li's hand, and even the back of the departure was so angry.

Han Li kept staring at his long back until he pushed open the door of the café and walked out, completely disappearing from sight.

Han Li laughed out loud.

"What, tsundere. ”

It's cute, though.

"Where have you been? I never answered your phone. Zhou Chengyuan walked into the house and found Xu Hongchao teasing birds on the balcony.

On the dining table were two buckets of cups and bowls that had just been eaten and had not yet had time to be collected, and there was still noodle soup and flour residues on the table.

Zhou Chengyuan glanced at the dining table with a calm face.

Xu Hongchao remembered something, and hurriedly trotted to collect the bowl, and by the way, he took out two tissues and wiped the table clean.

"I don't mean ......"

"Don't eat instant noodles at your house," Xu Hongchao answered, shyly smiling, "I'm sorry, I just changed shifts, I haven't eaten a bite of anything since last night, and I haven't been paid yet, and I don't dare to use your kitchen, so I have no choice but to forgive me." ”

Zhou Chengyuan took off his suit and hung it up, "Don't take it as an example." ”

"Eh, I promise not to take it as an example!" Xu Hongchao agreed.

Anyway, this "don't take it as an example", Zhou Chengyuan has been talking to him for almost ten years.

"You haven't said it yet, where have you been?" Xu Hongchao asked as he collected the garbage.

Zhou Chengyuan glanced at him, "Where do I have to report to you?"

Xu Hongchao quickly shut up.

This unangry look, it seems that he came back from eating somewhere. There are really few people in this world who can make Zhou Chengyuan angry, at least Xu Hongchao doesn't know such a person.

Hero, I really want to make friends with a great hero who can be angry with him!

"I'm here to tell you about it, Wang Haixiang's whereabouts are estimated to be found soon. After disposing of the garbage, Xu Hongchao washed his hands and sat next to Zhou Chengyuan.

Zhou Chengyuan raised his eyebrows, "Found it?"

"Not yet," Xu Hongchao shook his head, "but some people have reported that they have seen him, and I am checking along this line." You know, I'm doing this alone, no one helps, and I have to be careful in private, and this progress is already fast. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, and I will thank you when it's over. ”

"Thank you, fart," Xu Hongchao waved his hand, "It's also my own business." I think you're right, Toumian should really be alive again. ”

Zhou Chengyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Yes, those people have been moving too often recently. Did you make any progress on the case they handed over to you last time, Han Li?"

Xu Hongchao smiled bitterly, "No, our side and the forest public security are investigating together, but there is no useful news." The boss in the squinted mouth is like the world has evaporated, and it can't be found at all. The team hired a simulated portraitist and painted a portrait of the 'boss', but this person has only seen it with squinted eyes, and this kind of portrait is actually not of much reference value. ”

His fingertips tapped lightly on the table, "Wang Haixiang, this person, is too clean, there is no criminal record at home and abroad, he has been raised over there for so long, this time I come back, I think he must be of great use." But fortunately, he still has the shortcoming of arrogance, and I guess I don't know that we have noticed him and are checking him. What about Han Li? You haven't told her yet, have you?"

"Not yet. Zhou Chengyuan said, "Let's talk about it when we find a suitable time, she will be by my side for the time being, and it will be fine." ”

Xu Hongchao was happy, "'Put it by your side'? When did you pity the jade so much? Besides, that girl is so capable of fighting, can she be taken care of by you, a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken? Those colleagues around her, if you pull one out, they can beat you for a hundred streets." ”

Zhou Chengyuan didn't speak, and his face was a little stinky.

"Hey, but seriously, she's so good-looking, if it weren't for me, I would have wanted to chase her. Xu Hongchao continued to speak freely.

Zhou Chengyuan glanced at him, "What's wrong with my peers?"

"It's not suitable to be a wife, and it's so fierce, I'm afraid that she will abuse me when I quarrel in the future. ”

Zhou Chengyuan made a slight mistake between his teeth, "You think too much, and there must be a limit to being sentimental." Can people take a fancy to you?"

Xu Hongchao choked.

That's what I said.

"Stop talking about the rights and wrongs of a little girl behind your back, it's too offensive. Zhou Chengyuan stood up and poured two glasses of warm water for himself and Xu Hongchao, "I think she is very good like this, she has ideals and dreams, much better than the type you like." ”

"What type do I like, do you know?" asked Xu Hongchao.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute!

If you heard it right, Zhou Chengyuan, this kid, was talking for Han Li just now?!
