XVIII. Germination

On the second day, Ruan Jing followed the address on the business card, looked for a street near the cultural center, and saw Xiao Chongyan's newly moved studio.

The studio is not big, the sign at the door is still very new, and as soon as Ruan Jing walked in, a young man greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Hello Miss, do you have an appointment?"

As soon as Ruan Jing was about to speak, Xiao Chongyan's voice came from inside, "Xiao Wang, it's my friend, let her in." ”

Hearing Xiao Chongyan's words, Xiao Wang's smile became more sincere, and he pointed to a door behind him, "Doctor Xiao is in this office, I'll go pour water for you." ”

Ruan Jing pushed open the door and walked in.

Xiao Chongyan took his eyes off the computer screen, took off his glasses and put them on the table, and squeezed his eyebrows, "Why are you here?"

Ruan Jing's expression was very calm, he sat down on the sofa, and said the words that had been prepared a long time ago, "I'm leaving, the information on some cases before should be here, I'll get it." ”

"In my apartment, we'll go over together in a moment, and I'll give it to you. ”

Ruan Jing nodded, and mentioned it casually, "Wait until I go back to Binjiang......"

Xiao Chongyan looked at her quietly, and Ruan Jing was suddenly ashamed to say the second half of Ruan Jing's words somehow.

Ruan Jing told himself in his heart that Xiao Chongyan is an excellent psychiatrist, and what is even more valuable is that he has a natural insight into criminal cases, and the Liuchuan City Police Department has thrown an olive branch to him and wants to hire him to participate in the investigation of the next series of cases by the Liuchuan City Police.

But is this her true thoughts? She couldn't sleep all night tossing and turning, so that she could keep in touch with a professional after returning to Binjiang?

Xiao Chongyan didn't seem to notice the embarrassment in her words, and the whole person was very gentle.

"The main body of my studio is still in Binjiang, and when I go back, I will inevitably have to look for you to catch up...... After all, I'm responsible for you. ”

He was joking, and although Ruan Jing didn't want to admit it, she was a little pleased.

Ruan Jing sat quietly on the side, Xiao Chongyan didn't know what he had written for a while, and the last pen fell, and he closed the notepad.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get my coat. ”

Xiao Chongyan stood up and walked out, Xiao Wang came in at this time, very surprised, "You guys are leaving?"

Xiao Chongyan nodded and went out, Xiao Wang put a glass of water in front of Ruan Jing, coincidentally, it was a kind of flower tea that Ruan Jing had been very fond of for a long time.

She took a sip and her eyes flashed slightly, "It's just the two of you here?"

Xiao Wang nodded simply, and replied with a little flattery, "This is the first time I've seen a girl come to Dr. Xiao." ”

Ruan Jing took a sip of tea and pretended to ask unintentionally, "What about his girlfriend, didn't come with him?"

Xiao Wang scratched his head suspiciously, "Does Dr. Xiao have a girlfriend?" I don't know, I was hired by Kanjing last month, and I was transferred here this month to help Dr. Xiao, but I have never seen anyone who looks like his girlfriend call Dr. Xiao." ”

Ruan Jing nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Xiao Chongyan walked out with a woolen jacket in the crook of his arm.

"Let's go. ”

At the door, he handed his coat to Ruan Jing, "Put it on first, I'll pick up the car." ”

Ruan Jing didn't refuse, thanked him and took it, looked down twice, and then turned his hand and draped his coat on his body, which was indeed very warm.

This is the third time Ruan Jing has come to Xiao Chongyan's apartment, Xiao Chongyan said to Ruan Jing while changing his shoes, "You can sit at will, I'll go find out where those medical records are."

There is a half-hidden door next to it, two rows of bookshelves standing, Xiao Chongyan said that he didn't move here for long, but there are so many books in the house, Ruan Jing raised his voice and asked, "Can I enter the study?"

"Please. ”

His study also doubles as a studio, and there is an oil painting on the easel that has just been completed, and the oil paint next to it is still dry, and the brush is casually thrown aside by the owner, and the residual color on the tip of the pen leaves some traces on the wooden board.

There was footsteps behind him.

"What is this?" Ruan Jing raised his chin at the painting.

"A painting that I have nothing to do. ”

Ruan Jing has no talent in art, when she was in school, the most difficult thing for her was the portrait sketch of a criminal, she looked at this painting, gray-yellow sand, large brown reefs, the sea water far away in the sky was only a shallow blue line, on the beach, a person stood there, the whole painting could not say anything wrong, but it caused Ruan Jing's discomfort.

Ruan Jing sneered, looked away and stopped looking, not knowing whether it was praise or sarcasm, "I heard that Professor Qin Jinxun in Zhucheng is also good at painting, and someone has paid seven figures to buy a painting, I think Dr. Xiao's skills are also very deep, if you put in some effort, maybe you can develop another way to make a living." ”

"Professor Qin is happily married, and all he paints in his spare time are beautiful landscapes and delicate portraits, while my paintings are gray and bare, where will anyone be willing to buy them. ”

"Doesn't Dr. Xiao also have a girlfriend? Why don't you put a ready-made one?" Ruan Jing's eyes burned, and he caught the loophole in his words.

Xiao Chongyan opened her mouth, and suddenly smiled, laughing so much that she was tickling, so she followed her heart and couldn't help sneezing.

"I've had a lot of colds lately, you wait, I'll make you a cup of cold medicine. ”

"No hassle. ”

Ruan Jing rubbed the tip of his nose and waved his hand, just about to stop him, Xiao Chongyan had already opened the door and walked towards the kitchen.

is different from the gentleness and harmlessness he created on the surface, this kind of inadvertent self-only attitude is like the real him, no matter in terms of personality, Xiao Chongyan can hide it.

Now Ruan Jing can be sure that he said that he had a girlfriend, and he was really lying to her.

Ruan Jing's eyes wandered carelessly on the bookshelf, the books he read were very miscellaneous, and the books in the two bookcases generally had some traces of flipping, and she patrolled the past one by one, trying in vain to speculate on some clues from them.

Suddenly, Xu Xiaochuan's phone called, and as soon as Ruan Jing picked it up, before he could speak, he heard a voice on the phone that was a little urgent, "Ruan Jing, I remembered, that Doctor Xiao, I have seen him, it was not because of a necklace at all as he said." ”

The door of the studio was not closed, Ruan Jing couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, Xiao Chongyan was rinsing a glass with running water, although he could only see his back, he could also detect his seriousness.

Ruan Jing felt his blood flow speed up in an instant, and lowered his voice, "Well, you say." ”

Xu Xiaochuan's voice was full of chagrin, "Just four or five months ago, when we first met, I saw you together at that time, but we only met and he left, so I only remembered it now." ”

"I'm not mistaken, you know each other...... Moreover, the relationship seems to be a little strange, because I heard what he said to you when I saw you, and he would never agree to it......"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, bursting above Ruan Jing, hitting her ears with a "buzz", and she could no longer hear any sounds around her.
