Chapter 15: The Undercurrent
The three of them were silent for a while, the first person to speak was actually Dong Weibin, he was sitting next to Tonic Li, which was also the result of He Ning's deliberate actions, when the three of them arrived at the waiting area, she sat straight to the edge of the sofa first, and Tonic followed closely behind and sat down, Dong Weibin had no choice, so he had to sit next to Tonic Li, at first he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with such a seating arrangement, but now it seems that his attention has shifted to other things.

"Your name is Tonic Li, and you were originally a police academy......" He didn't know if the more he couldn't remember, the more uncomfortable he became, so he desperately wanted to recall where he had seen Tonic Li, or was he a little curious about Tonic the person, so he didn't say anything for a long time, and he probably had been thinking about it, "I do think I should have seen you somewhere, or at least heard your name...... No, I'm sure I've seen your ...... anyway."
Tang Li looked at him and didn't make any response, putting aside Dong Weibin's actions to He Ning, before knowing He Ning and knowing Dong Weibin's things because of He Ning, this person and this name really didn't have any impression on Tang Li.
He Ning turned his head to look at Dong Weibin, and saw that he was really thinking about it, which made her feel a little curious, Dong Weibin didn't look like he was pretending, did he really know Tonic before?
Where did he see Tonic This matter, for Dong Weibin, it seems that he has indeed fallen into it, and there is no way to pull his thoughts out for a while, until the waiter comes to inform that the table is ready, so that they can follow him over to the table, Dong Weibin is still trying to search every corner of his memory that has been dusted for a long time, and he has not noticed anything next to him.
It wasn't until he sat down that he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and suddenly slapped his thigh, and even the person at the next table was startled by his actions, but pointed to Tang Li who was sitting opposite him with a look of surprise and said: "Tang Li! I finally remembered why I think this name is also very familiar, and I see that you yourself are also very familiar! When I entered the military training in my freshman year, the school found a student and teacher who was called ' at that time." The senior brother of the Three Kings came to assist the instructors who came from the army to manage us together, and you are the senior brother who was in charge of us in the first place! I remember correctly? Is there such a thing?"
"Yes," Tang Li nodded, he still had some impressions of what Dong Weibin mentioned, but he only remembered that there was such a thing, and the specific people involved did not have any impression at all, so he said to Dong Weibin very honestly, "But I don't know you as a person." ”
It can be seen that Dong Weibin really has a little bit of admiration for Tonic Li, at least his emotions seem to be a little excited, I heard that Tonic doesn't remember him, but he doesn't mind, and he waved his hand again and again to save face for himself, saying: "That's normal, that's normal!" The two of us are two years apart, when you were in the school, I was still a little-known freshman, not long after I entered the school, and then you interned and left in my senior year, and when I reached my junior year, it was the time when I performed the most outstanding in all aspects, of course you don't know, senior brother. ”
"What do you mean by 'Three Kings'?" He Ning felt a little curious and asked, but she was not asking Dong Weibin, who had just mentioned the word, but Tang Li himself, who was sitting next to her.
Tang Li smiled and shook his head: "Classmates are casually calling for fun." ”
"That's really not just a casual joke," Dong Weibin heard him say this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to add on the side, "He Ning, you have also worked with Senior Brother Tang for so long, and you don't even know how powerful he is?" The reason why I called him 'Three Kings' at the beginning was because he was the king of sanda in the school at that time, the king of actual combat, and the king of 400 meters of hurdles. I remember when I was in military training, the instructor who came from the army at that time was also a person with very good military quality, he took the initiative to challenge Senior Brother Tang, Senior Brother Tang agreed on the spot, and after a round of competition, there was a draw, you must know that Senior Brother Tang was only a college student at that time, and the other party was an excellent player in the 400-meter hurdle competition in the army, and Senior Brother Tang was already very powerful to be able to compete with him in a draw. ”
"I didn't expect it, you are low-key enough, you haven't even mentioned such heroic deeds!" He Ning laughed and teased Tang Li, she didn't deliberately pretend in front of Dong Weibin how affectionate she was with Tang Li, and her speech and demeanor were no different from when the two of them dealt with each other on weekdays.
Tonic only smiled faintly at her: "It's not worth mentioning." ”
"Senior Brother Tang, the medal you won in the National Sanda Competition is still in the display case about the honor of students in the school history exhibition room, I said that I think your name and person are quite familiar, I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence. Dong Weibin has always liked to make friends with some people who have outstanding performance in a certain aspect or field, and now when he sees Tang Li, who was once famous in the police academy, his attitude suddenly became completely different from Fang Cai, with a taste of flattery and stammering.
As if he didn't buy Dong Weibin's set, Tang Li took the menu book on the table and handed it to He Ning.
Dong Weibin seemed to have finally come back to his senses, and suddenly found himself sitting on one side of the table, and Tang Li and He Ning were sitting side by side on the other side, which made him a little annoyed, but he had already sat down, and it was not good to get up and change his seat again, firstly, it would be strange for others to look at it, and secondly, he was afraid that He Ning would reject him, so he had to sit in place so reluctantly, and he had to keep a smile on his face, and said to He Ning: " Yes, you're starting to get busy again before the year is over, how hard it is, I have to help my uncle and aunt treat you!"
He Ning listened to his words, raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a smile: "I don't know your uncle and aunt. ”
The smile on Dong Weibin's face froze: "I'm not talking about my uncle and aunt, it's your parents." ”
"Then you don't make it clear, it's so kind, I thought you were talking about your own relatives!" He Ning replied half-truthfully, and his gaze fell back to the menu.
Dong Weibin saw that He Ning didn't pay much attention to himself, and Tang Li didn't like to talk, so he also resigned his eyes to the menu in front of him, which was okay, as soon as he looked at the price of the dishes on it, Dong Weibin's face became a little subtle, his eyes wandered for a while, and finally he couldn't help it, and opened his mouth tentatively: "He Ning, it's all Western food here, are you used to eating?"
"I'm used to eating, what's wrong?" He Ning raised his head and looked at Dong Weibin very innocently and suspiciously.
"Oh...... It's okay, I just want you to eat it well. Dong Weibin said with a smile, but his smile looked a little dry, I don't know if it was because of distress or physical pain.
In fact, He Ning didn't have any research on Western food, and compared with it, she actually liked Chinese food more, but she made up her mind to eat here today, so after flipping through the menu for a long time, and finally couldn't figure out what was what, which would be more delicious, she raised her hand and signaled, and the waiter immediately greeted her after seeing it, with a well-trained smile on her face.
"Customer, is there anything I can do to help you?" she asked He Ning in a gentle voice.
He Ning nodded and said to the waiter: "That's right, the three of us are here for the first time, and we are not very familiar with your family's dishes, are there any signature dishes that are particularly worth recommending?"
"Yes, we have four full set menus recommended by the chef at home, all from the appetizer to the final dessert, each of which is a classic pairing, and the three of you can choose from them. The waiter said enthusiastically while helping He Ning turn the menu to the page recommended by the chef.
He Ning looked at it, it was worthy of the chef's recommendation, and almost all the exquisite and expensive dishes in the store were added, and the prices behind it were also very "friendly".
"Okay, then we'll have the same set of A, B, and C. He Ning casually looked at the combination of these four packages, and finally made a choice very happily.
"No, no, no," Dong Weibin hurriedly stopped the waiter who was happily preparing to place an order, and waved at her, "I don't need three set meals, I'm not hungry, I can't eat so many things, I'll just have a pasta." ”
"Sir, our stuff is exquisite, not won by weight, the things in the set are really the best we have here, I suggest you give it a try. "The waiter certainly doesn't give up so easily.
Dong Weibin waved his hand again and again with a particularly resolute attitude: "No need, no need!
The smile on the waiter's face froze, but he still kept it, nodded, did not continue to recommend and lobby, after placing an order, after a while, he first brought them a plate to pad their stomachs while waiting for food, and the free bread in the store was placed on the table.
"This shop also gives away so many small breads, I knew that I wouldn't order pasta, can't you be full if you order a salad!" Dong Weibin subconsciously retreated, and after finishing speaking, he realized that his words sounded a little shameless, so he hurriedly changed his words again, and said while laughing, "I'm joking." ”
This kind of high-priced Western restaurant, whether it is authentic or not, at least in terms of process, it can be said that it is trying its best to imitate foreign high-end restaurants, so the food is served very slowly, He Ning and Tang Li are actually hungry, and the bread is served, and the two of them are not too restrained, they take the bread and eat it first, casually pad their stomachs, Dong Weibin is also eating bread, but judging from his attitude, he has a little bit of "don't eat for nothing" that kind of feeling of wanting to get back to the basics.
Dong Weibin is not a brainless fool, halfway by the question of where he saw Tonic Li, and forgot to guard and probe for a while, now the three of them are sitting there, Tonic and He Ning are sitting side by side opposite him, Dong Weibin's train of thought is finally back on track, and he began to ponder.
"Senior Brother Tang, after He Ning came here to work, he didn't cause you any trouble, right?" He put down half a small bread in his hand, put up a smile again, and started talking, but this time the object of his conversation was not He Ning, but Tang Li who was sitting next to He Ning.
Tang Li raised his eyes and looked at Dong Weibin, there was no special expression on his face, but Dong Weibin felt as if his careful thoughts had been seen through by Tang Li, he felt a little weak for no reason, and after his heart was empty, he felt unnecessary, if He Ning looked at it like this, it was still reasonable for him to be a little weak-hearted, and it made no sense to feel the same way in the face of Tang Li, right?
It must be because Tomley is still in his mind or the "Three Kings" elder brother who was full of shining points all over his body. Dong Weibin secretly analyzed, but this sense of awe is completely unnecessary, at the beginning Tonic was a well-known senior brother in the school, and he was just a stupid little junior brother who had just entered the freshman year, but now it is not what it used to be, the senior brother of the year is now just an ordinary policeman on the front line, he is not well-known, but he stayed in school, and when he goes out, he is also a college staff, and when it comes to who is more majestic and decent, there is naturally no objection.
Thinking about it like this, Dong Weibin's waist hardened.
"My partner, it's not troublesome. Tonic responded succinctly.
Dong Weibin was speechless for a while, he originally thought that Tang Li's answer must be an affirmation of He Ning's ability, and said that He Ning did not add any trouble to himself, and he could take the opportunity to express his understanding of He Ning, and secretly show that the relationship and intimacy between the two people are extraordinary, but the other party actually did not play cards according to the routine, and the sentence "their partner" seemed to be quite unusual for the relationship between the two of them. Thinking about it like this, Dong Weibin's face suddenly became a little gloomy.
He Ning opened his mouth with a smile while fiddling with the knives and forks on the table, looked up at Dong Weibin, and asked, "What kind of work are you responsible for in the school now?"
Hearing that He Ning cared about his work, the faint layer of gloom on Dong Weibin's face disappeared in an instant, he piled up a smile on his face, and said to He Ning: "There is no change, I am still the same as before, that is, I am responsible for some student management." ”
