Next, Hou Rui seemed to be suddenly addicted, and he kept filming at Jin Shanshan, but unfortunately the play between the two did not last long, and the manager of the restaurant rushed over and explained to Hou Rui;

Probably because the restaurant does not allow taking pictures, because it will disturb other guests, so Hou Rui can only apologize again and again, and put down the camera in his hand helplessly.

After such a small episode, the atmosphere at the table finally became a little more relaxed, and then the sommelier first brought a bottle of white wine over to pour it for Hou Rui and Jin Shanshan, and then asked Hou Rui to taste the wine, and left the wine bottle on the table according to Hou Rui's instructions.

There is still a little time before the food is served, and it is impossible for the two people facing each other to sit all the time without talking, so Hou Rui decided to seize the initiative of the conversation: "Shanshan, how long will your work in South Africa last this time?"

"How...... Suddenly concerned about this?" Jin Shanshan asked very sensitively.

"I've heard from friends that Cape Town will be ...... in a few days It's raining, it's super heavy rain. ”

"......" Listening to Hou Rui's vague description, the smile on Jin Shanshan's face gradually faded, and began to become serious and cold, and then even the tone of his voice became a lot stiffer: "...... It's your friend again, and that friend of yours is really powerful. ”

"It's always good to be careful, I don't want you to get wet and get sick. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but getting wet is also part of my job, I should learn to accept it, if I really get sick, it is also my own path, there is nothing to complain about. ”

"Shanshan, I said a long time ago, your job is not for you, because...... The world is far darker than you think, and you don't have to go through the storm here. ”

"Oh, yes? What about your current life, taking pictures of the fashion industry every day, and then doing some part-time jobs that you like, traveling around the world, is this kind of life very suitable for you?"

"......" was counterattacked by Jin Shanshan so fiercely, Hou Rui couldn't say anything below, he first reflected on it, and then replied with emotion: "The days go by day by day, but whether it is going forward in the way I like, this is not something I can control, I found that there are many people, a lot of time, I am just pushed and forced to move forward by reality." ”

If I do get wet in Cape Town, that's my life, and I can't blame anyone else, and I certainly don't have to worry about you. Jin Shanshan replied very domineeringly.

"......" But Hou Rui felt very, very helpless when he heard it, and he had an uncomfortable feeling all over his body.

The actual situation now is that Hou Rui knew that it would be very dangerous for Jin Shanshan to stay in Cape Town, but Jin Shanshan stubbornly refused to give in, and then, when Hou Rui was still hesitating, or just stop playing any dumb riddles, and directly confessed to talking to Jin Shanshan, Jin Shanshan suddenly asked a question: "Hou Rui, which Miss Coco are you still with now?"

“…… Hmm!" Hou Rui snorted.

"Then let's get together if we have a chance, I didn't have a chance to meet in the joint investigation team last time, and besides, you have to give me a chance to see where my predecessor lost. At this moment, Jin Shanshan still seemed very generous to propose, and winked at Hou Rui as she spoke, and she could no longer see the serious expression on her face at that moment just now.

"What about you, do you have a boyfriend now?" and then Hou Rui asked casually without thinking too much, but unfortunately Hou Rui immediately regretted it as soon as the words came out, blaming himself for being a good man, and he didn't even see Jin Shanshan's pretending to be generous, and he actually asked such an idiotic question.

“…… If I don't have a boyfriend or not, what does it have to do with you?" Sure enough, this sentence stepped on the landmine, and they chatted well a second ago, but who knew that Jin Shanshan suddenly turned her face, and the whole expression on her face became hideous, which made Hou Rui very embarrassed, and he couldn't speak for a minute.

"Shanshan...... , you don't want to be like this, let him pass the past. After a long time, Hou Rui squeezed out a sentence.

"That's right! I really should be more mature, I shouldn't dwell on the past anymore, and what if I don't want to go to the past? The dead will not be resurrected, and other people's memories will not be like hard disk data, which can be simply deleted, and everyone needs to be responsible for their own lives and what they have done. ”

Not to mention that women are more fickle, Jin Shanshan, who almost choked Hou Rui to death just now, immediately began to reflect on herself, but unfortunately in the last part of this reflection, the words seemed a little meaningful.

"Shanshan, you seem to be very sentimental today, can these truths that even children understand cause you to feel so much?"

"Maybe it's the opposite, it's not that I'm sensitive, it's that you've become numb!"

“……”

When the two of them were silent at the table again because they were not speculative, the long-awaited delicacies were finally served by the waiter, so Hou Rui took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass and stretched it out towards Jin Shanshan on the opposite side of the table, and Jin Shanshan also showed great cooperation, raised his hand and gently clinked glasses with Hou Rui, and took a very ladylike sip.

"Bordeaux's Miscadet, although it is not the top grape, but it is not bad among liquors, do you think that?" Hou Rui said like a few treasures, the drinking habit that he has maintained for many years, and then coupled with good economic strength, has gradually cultivated Hou Rui's half of a professional tongue.

"Hehe, a big photographer is a big photographer, you have once again successfully crushed the lives of our little people, white wine for me, is still just staying on the Great Wall and Tongtian these domestic brands, Bordeaux Château I am really not familiar with. Jin Shanshan sarcastically said to Hou Rui a little, and then began to abuse the abalone in front of him with a knife and fork, but for some reason he only cut it and didn't eat it.

"Come on, I still like the black tea shop next to your school. Hou Rui didn't want Jin Shanshan to feel that the gap between the two was too big to be overcome, so he took the initiative to mention the memories of the past.

“…… You may not know it, but the black tea shop has been demolished and is now a skewer bar. As a result, this strategy was very successful, and Jin Shanshan's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and she couldn't care about sarcastically mocking Hou Rui anymore.

"It's a shame. While Hou Rui replied, he unceremoniously dug out his curry lobster shrimp meat from the shrimp shell, but he also followed Jin Shanshan's example, just put the shrimp meat on the plate, but was not busy stuffing it into his mouth.

"There's no pity, a lot of things have changed! That friend of yours, the man named Lao Xiao, everyone else is dead, you know?"

“…… I really haven't been back for a long time, those friends in China have been slowly alienated and forgotten after a long time, the old Xiao you just said, I can't even remember it for a while. Hou Rui, who did not leak a drop of water, gave a perfunctory approach like this, and once again dodged the mines set up in Jin Shanshan's words.

"Lao Xiao, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, then do you still remember your parents and your sister-in-law?" But this time, Jin Shanshan didn't plan to let Hou Rui go easily, and then threw out a more straightforward and explicit question.

"Just kidding, of course I remember, what's wrong?" Hou Rui, who felt wrong, naturally looked directly into Jin Shanshan's eyes, if Jin Shanshan wanted to pierce this layer of window paper this time, then to be honest, Hou Rui would also feel a lot more relaxed, but things were about to become a different state, and everyone was in a state of non-stop.

"It's nothing! Recently, I stumbled across their files for the sake of investigating a certain case, so I asked more. ”

Hou Rui, who felt that he couldn't pretend anymore, finally put down the knife and fork in his hand, and then he leaned back and leaned back on the back of the chair, and then asked with a serious and focused face: "What kind of case can still be connected to my parents and sister-in-law?"

"In our hometown, in a mound not far from the outskirts of the city, the police found two bodies that had been buried years ago, and along with the bodies, we also found a rusty Montblanc Kennedy fountain pen, just like the one you gave me, but not in gold. ”

Looking at Hou Rui's face fearlessly and meeting Hou Rui's gaze, Jin Shanshan, who was still elegantly operating the knife and fork, continued to speak, revealing a lot of information in an instant.

"Shanshan, you...... Is this investigating me?" the atmosphere at the table had become imminent, and Hou Rui paused for a moment, and then suddenly asked the question.

"What? I can't investigate you, or have you done something dangerous and illegal? Are you scared now? Afraid that I'll investigate you?" Jin Shanshan asked rhetorically.

"My biggest offense is probably running a red light and littering. Since Jin Shanshan didn't turn her face, and the choice once again fell back into Hou Rui's hands, Hou Rui naturally had no reason to take the initiative to confess, so he found an excuse and answered this question in a joking tone

"Really? Then I, in my capacity as Interpol, a first-class investigator, will formally arrest you for your illegal acts, and I warn you not to make unnecessary resistance, or I will use appropriate violence. Listening to Hou Rui's answer, Jin Shanshan smiled again, and made a pistol pose with her fingers while laughing, facing Hou Rui's chest.
