Chapter 25: A Straight Man

Recently, there has just been a serial murder case in J City, the murderer's modus operandi is extremely brutal, and three young women have been killed in a row, and the case has not been solved. For the sake of safety, Ye Yanran was not arrogant, and gladly accepted Shao Jie's kindness.

Shao Jie is not a person to talk about, he often talks one thing at a time, and he doesn't turn around and grind his feet, which is very much to Ye Yanran's appetite. However, this also makes the conversation between the two often cold after a question and answer.

Shao Jie scratched his head with a smile, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not very good at talking. ”

Ye Yanran bent her lips slightly, "Why don't you listen to music for a while?"

Shao Jie scratched his head again and said, "Let's listen to the radio! I rarely listen to music, and I don't have any preparation in the car." ”

As he spoke, he turned on the radio and changed the channel, and all he heard were advertisements for the lower body, anorectal diseases, infertility, and painless abortions.

He turned off the radio in embarrassment, his expression very helpless.

Ye Yanran couldn't help laughing. Shao Jie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed as well.

The two laughed for a long time before stopping.

"It's really ...... advertising now" Ye Yanran shook her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers.

Shao Jie quietly looked at her sideways, and the smile made her facial lines that had been tense soften, and the whole person no longer seemed alienated.

"I'm really hungry at this time, can you accompany me to eat something and then go back?"

He didn't politely say that he invited Ye Yanran to dinner, but said that he wanted her to accompany him to dinner, which gave Ye Yanran less reason to refuse. At the same time, Shao Jie was given a lot of freedom when choosing a restaurant, which made them get along much more casually.

Shao Jie took Ye Yanran to a small restaurant, the façade is not big, and the decoration is very simple, because it has passed the peak hour of dining, and there are one or two tables of guests left in the restaurant.

The proprietress of the restaurant, a neat middle-aged woman, saw Shao Jie greet him familiarly, sat down at an empty table in front of the window, put down the menu, and turned to make tea.

"It's not far from where you live, don't look at the façade, the food is very authentic. I come here often. Shao Jie picked up the menu while introducing, "You can eat spicy, right?"

Ye Yanran hesitated slightly, and Shao Jie already understood, "Okay, I know." ”

"Actually, it's okay to eat less, you just have to choose what you like. ”

Shao Jie smiled and raised his hand to beckon the proprietress to come and order.

He ordered four or five dishes in one go, and advised: "All these are half portions, your dishes are too large, and there is less oil, less salt and less spicy." ”

The proprietress smiled and wrote down the name of the dish on the order menu, obviously Shao Jie used to come over these habits, until he heard "less spicy" before he raised his head and said, "Aren't you spicy and unhappy......?"

Shao Jie glared at her, secretly blaming her for being troublesome.

She looked at Ye Yanran opposite Shao Jie, realized something, and left with a smile.

The dishes came up quickly, and the proprietress added an extra bowl of red chili oil, winked at Shao Jie and walked away with a smile.

Shao Jie was afraid that Ye Yanran would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Don't pay attention to her, you're hungry, eat quickly!"

Ye Yanran had been busy for a day, and she was hungry at this time, so she was no longer polite. Maybe it was affected by Shao Jie's good appetite, or maybe it was because he had eyebrows at work, and finally settled down, Ye Yanran obviously ate more than the standard at this meal. She has always insisted that she only eats eight points full at each meal, but this time she actually ate a little bit.

"I can't see that you're thin and small, but the amount of food is not bad. ”

Shao Jie's words made Ye Yanran's face turn red all of a sudden.

Shao Jie felt speechless, touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I'm not very good at talking, don't you care!"

Ye Yanran thought that this was the so-called honest man, and it was the first time she had met someone like Shao Jie.

Although he would not ask her for advice before the meal, he would carefully mix the dishes with meat and vegetables. Although he speaks bluntly and makes you a little embarrassed, he will not hide his heart and let you guess left and right.

I don't know how many times stronger such a person is than Wei Xiaodong, a man who is a humble gentleman on the surface and is actually a scumbag.

Shao Jie's car parked downstairs under Ye Yanran, looked around and said, "This community is quite quiet, if you come back alone at night, it is best to let your family go downstairs to pick it up." ”

Ye Yanran smiled and waved her hand at him, without explaining to him that she lived alone.

Shao Jie didn't move, sitting in the car and watching Ye Yanran walk towards the door of the building. Ye Yanran didn't hear the sound of the car starting, and turned back suspiciously.

Shao Jie waved his hand to Ye Yanran, "Go up, I'll see you enter the door and leave." ”

Ye Yanran's heart was hot, she turned around and went upstairs with a slight bow, and just went up to the second floor, the door of the apartment suddenly opened from the inside.
