"Xiaoyu, if you're embarrassed, I'll make an appointment for you, right?"

"Sister Jiali, isn't it okay?"

"What's wrong? Just say thank you. ”

"However, Officer Qi is so busy every day...... ”

"No matter how busy you are, you have to rest and eat, right? Not to mention that today happens to be Saturday. ”

Zhen Jiali saw that Tian Xiaoyu was still hesitating, so she reached out and picked up the mobile phone she was used to putting on the shelf, found the landline number of the Serious Crime Team Office in the call record, and pressed the hands-free button by the way while dialing it out.

Tick ——, tick ——, tick.

"Hey, hello, Crime Squad. ”

The dial tone only rang twice, and Qi Zhibin's voice came from inside the third tone. Zhen Jiali smiled and glanced at Tian Xiaoyu, whose face was slightly red, and then lowered her head and said to her mobile phone: "Officer Qi, I am Zhen Jiali, and my sister Xiaoyu is looking for you." ”

By this time, Tian Xiaoyu had to speak.

"Officer Qi, it's me, Tian Xiaoyu. ”

"Oh, it's Xiaoyu, is there something wrong?"

"I really bothered you last time...... ”

"Xiaoyu is too polite, not troublesome. ”

Tian Xiaoyu always felt that it was difficult to exit, and she couldn't stand Zhen Jiali next to her, after all, she had already dialed the phone, so she mustered up her courage and said with a red face: "Does Officer Qi have time now? Can you walk away?"

Obviously, Tian Xiaoyu's tone was a little apprehensive, and he also knew that nothing should happen to her, but Qi Zhibin still asked casually, "Is something wrong?"

"I didn't ...... No, Officer Qi ....... ”

Seeing that Tian Xiaoyu stammered and just couldn't get to the point, Zhen Jiali simply pushed her away and said to her phone: "That's the case, Officer Qi, Sister Xiaoyu wants to invite you out for a meal, so as to thank you for your help that night." ”

"No, it's not a big deal, it's just a gesture. ”

refused so much, but Qi Zhibin still had some expectations in his heart.

"Officer Qi, it's not a gentleman's act to rashly refuse a girl's invitation. Besides, Sister Xiaoyu sincerely wants to thank Officer Qi. ”

Qi Zhibin, who was blocked by Zhen Jiali's words, pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes." ”

Qi Zhibin, who had originally investigated Cong Jingye, the driver of the Dousheng Group's car shift, returned to the office on time in the afternoon, but received a call from Fu Yuan saying that today's meeting would not be held, so everyone should get off work early and rest for a night, and talk about it tomorrow morning.

It is rare to have a break, Qi Zhibin first sorted out the work records of the recent period, and did not go out to eat, but sat in the office and played games. Just as he was thinking about where to go to eat, he happened to receive a call from Tian Xiaoyu.

Since meeting Tian Xiaoyu and her beautiful mixed-race cousin in the hospital corridor, Zhen Jiali's shadow will appear in front of Qi Zhibin's eyes from time to time. is not only because of Zhen Jiali's beauty, but also because Qi Zhibin always feels a little incredible about Zhen Jiali's sudden appearance, especially the move of helping Tian Xiaoyu set up a bean flower stall together.

It doesn't mean that foreigners are necessarily rich, but if they can pay for Tian Xiaoyu's mother's hospitalization fee at one time, why would they insist that Tian Xiaoyu set up a bean curd stall?

Therefore, Qi Zhibin wanted to know Zhen Jiali's identity and origin. Although Tian Xiaoyu has already said that Zhen Jiali is the daughter of her mother's distant cousin's family, it was only after Zhen Jiali contacted Tian Xiaoyu's mother after returning to China that she happened to know the situation of Tian Xiaoyu's family, or did she know it in advance, so she rushed back for this?

The reason why I think so much is because of curiosity, and secondly, because of the professional habit of Qi Zhibin, who is a police officer and a master's student in criminal investigation.

When Qi Zhibin came to Tian Xiaoyu's bean curd stall in Shunjing Street, the two had already cleaned up and pushed the mobile shelves under the wall, which meant that they would go home directly after dinner.

"No, just eat a bowl of bean curd, why put it away?"

"How can it, Officer Qi, it's not a lady's job to entertain guests with bean curd, right?"

Zhen Jiali, who spoke, behaved very naturally, while Tian Xiaoyu lowered her eyes slightly, her face was faintly flushed, and she didn't dare to meet Qi Zhibin's shy look.

Seeing this scene, Qi Zhibin had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll have a treat tonight, let's have some casual food nearby." It's just that it's delaying your business, and it's really a bit unpleasant. ”

"Officer Qi, it's nothing. Tian Xiaoyu finally looked at Qi Zhibin and said, "Originally, this bean curd stall will not be set up until the beginning of school." ”

"Are you going to go back to study?" Hearing the news, Qi Zhibin was still very happy for Tian Xiaoyu.

"Well," nodding and looking at his cousin beside him, revealing a grateful expression, Tian Xiaoyu said, "It's all my cousin's help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make up my mother's hospitalization fee until now." ”

Xiaoyu said the words of the two families again. As she spoke, Zhen Jiali pulled Tian Xiaoyu's arm, turned her head sideways to look at Qi Zhibin and said, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk." ”

Zhen Jiali took Tian Xiaoyu's arm in front and Qi Zhibin in the back, and the three of them came to a hotel called "Fengsheng" diagonally across the street, and found a window seat in the hall on the first floor and sat down.

"Officer Qi wants to eat whatever you want, order whatever you want, I'm in for a treat today. ”

"Let's go girls first. ”

Qi Zhibin smiled and pushed back the menu handed by Zhen Jiali. Originally, the words "not a gentleman's doing" on the phone had already made Qi Zhibin feel uncomfortable, but now he still has to say this. Of course, Qi Zhibin will not verbally argue with the other party about who will treat him.

Zhen Jiali and Tian Xiaoyu finished ordering, and Qi Zhibin ordered another one according to his taste. Next, in the space where they were waiting for food, the three of them chatted casually one sentence at a time.

"Where did Miss Zhen grow up? Mandarin is more standard than ours. ”

Officer Qi complimented. I was born in Australia, but I grew up in Western Europe. Since childhood, I learned Chinese from my mother, English and German from my father. Fortunately, my mother's Mandarin is extremely standard, and I can't compare to my mother. ”

"Did you come back on your own, or did the whole family come back?"

"I came back on my own. Taking a sip of the tea in front of her, Zhen Jiali said half-jokingly: "Is this Officer Qi's professional habit?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional. ”

"I like to joke, Officer Qi don't care. My mother couldn't leave temporarily, so she asked me to come back first to recognize my relatives. It is estimated that at the end of the year, or the beginning of next year, my mother will be able to pull out. ”

Zhen Jiali didn't mention her father, and Qi Zhibin didn't ask much, but Tian Xiaoyu added: "My cousin-in-law opened a multinational company in Europe, and his business is very busy, so he can't leave." However, I heard Sister Jiali say that my cousin-in-law occasionally comes to China on business trips, and he may come when he comes. ”

Listening to the meaning of Zhen Jiali's words, she should be returning to China for the first time. And judging from Tian Xiaoyu's lack of mention of the past, he should have never seen Zhen Jiali's family since he was a child, but after Zhen Jiali came back, he learned from his mother that he still had such a cousin.

After the dishes were served, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, after all, they were all the same age, and they were all young, so there were naturally a lot of topics that could be connected.

After the meal, because it was Qi Zhibin's account, Zhen Jiali, who expressed her uneasiness, invited the two to the song hall to sing again. They played until more than ten o'clock at night, and when it was close to eleven o'clock, they exchanged phone numbers with each other, and Qi Zhibin helped them push the shelves to the door of their homes again before going back to the dormitory to rest.
