Chapter 22: Slow Flow

"Joe." Lu Xifei did not relax because of her gratitude, but looked at her sideways with a stern expression, and looked at her with four eyes, "Your comprehension is indeed not low, but I give you a piece of advice, never use your own mind to judge others." You said that Lu Yuanping didn't care about Chen Anhe's golden mountain at all, but I don't agree with it at all. ”

Qiao Yixia recalled her conversation with Shi Wei during the day, and once again felt that Lu Xifei's memory and acuity were extremely high, and she could engrave every word in her mind.

Lu Xifei continued: "I can only say that he has something more important to care about than that golden mountain. Lu Xifei picked up the delicate glass on the coffee table, took a sip of water, moistened his somewhat itchy throat, and forcibly suppressed the idea of coughing, "Have you ever thought about why he bothered to read those books that are extremely difficult for him if he just wants to save his wife, with Lu Yuanping's cultural history, Chen An and every book in the study is incompatible with his world." If he just wants money, in fact, there are many ways, even if he can't hide Chen Nianwei from selling the car, as long as he has money, as long as he can not delay his wife's medical treatment, it is enough, but he still maintains his identity as 'Chen Anhe' while collecting money, why is this. ”

Qiao Yixia clenched her fists, and Lu Yuanping's face and his desperate and indifferent eyes flashed in her mind again. Qiao Yixia exhaled lightly and took his gaze away from Lu Xifei.

"Because he not only cares about Chen Anhe and that golden mountain, but also tries to permanently occupy Chen Anhe's identity and become the real Chen Anhe." Qiao Yixia pursed her lips and said.

"For a vulgar man, it is enough to be able to solve the immediate economic crisis. But the bird is a bird after all, and the wings that have been bound for a long time are finally extended, how can he give up flying in his own sky. Luci pressed his eyebrows, said no more, and got up to go upstairs.

Qiao Yixia took Lu Xifei's hand by surprise.

Her hands were very soft, but they were a little cold, which made Qiao Yixia unconsciously want to give her more warmth. Lucy Bloom obviously didn't expect her to do such a move to herself, but she didn't pull her hand out.

"Professor Lu, I want to know what your purpose is for bringing him to the mansion." This is what Qiao Yixia couldn't understand, Lu Xifei was a foreign aid invited by the high bureau this time, it stands to reason that he can retire by helping to find the real culprit, so why bother to untie the knot for him.

Lu Xifei still didn't shake off her hand, but just stood in place and said condescendingly: "Confucius once said, 'The Tao is governed by government, and all are punished, and the people are free and shameless; The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. Coincidentally, I am completely in line with the ideas of Sage Confucius, and I appreciate his idea of teaching first and then punishing, and killing without teaching and abusing it. Maybe this is the coincidence between giants and giants. ”

Qiao Yixia couldn't help laughing, this eccentric professor was really unexpected by others, wearing foreign and fashionable clothes, and the interior decoration was full of modernity, but he was a supporter of Confucius and Mencius.

"Okay Officer Joe, I'll give you a passing grade." Listening to Lu Xifei's words, Qiao Yixia didn't have the slightest joy in her heart, and her hand was getting tighter and tighter, making Lu Xifei feel a little painful.

Luci said indifferently: "Officer Qiao, if you continue to be so rude, I will really sue you." "This sanctimonious Qiao Yixia, a 'humble' servant, dared to hold her hand all the time and not let go, it was really bold.

"I'll leave tomorrow." Qiao Yixia got up and faced Lu Xifei, the two of them were of the same height, so Lu Xifei didn't make her feel too much oppression, "But before that, I want to confirm one thing." ”

After that, he grabbed Lu Xifei's shoulders with both hands and broke her over to face him, and undoubtedly reached out to cover her forehead, Luxi Fei stubbornly refused to take antipyretics, and it was cold when he went out in the morning, and he didn't know if it was thorough. Sure that Lu Xizhu's forehead was cold and showed no signs of heating up, Qiao Yixia removed his hand, nodded and said yes.

Lucy was a little tall since she was a child, and she rarely had friends, and as she grew older, that arrogance became more and more obvious, and no one dared to get close to her, let alone get close to her. is the first to face difficulties like Qiao Yixia.

"Inexplicable." Lu Xifei widened the distance between him and Qiao Yixia, frowned slightly, and then went upstairs without looking back, and said while going upstairs, "Wash the dishes and chopsticks after eating, and I will deduct points for you if it is less than three times, until it reaches fifty-nine points." Don't try to be lazy, your little tricks won't escape my eyes. ”

Qiao Yixia tilted her head, thinking she was more and more cute. Walking to the kitchen, looking at the two dishes and one soup that were well placed on the dining table, Qiao Yixia's heart was instantly filled with a strong warmth, since work, it has been a long time since she has experienced the feeling of being able to eat a good meal when she goes home after being hungry. Lucy is a very considerate and perfect employer, she is smart and beautiful, she is born to be the proud daughter of heaven in the palm of her hand, the kitchen seems to be out of place for her, but she can do everything well.

Eating the dishes that Lu Xifei fried for himself, Qiao Yixia secretly made a decision. She doesn't wash the dishes anymore, definitely not.

At about half past eleven, Qiao Yixia walked to the door of Lu Xifei's bedroom and knocked on the door, and Lu Xifei's cold voice came from the door, Qiao Yixia raised the corners of her lips and said good night at just the right volume.

Xu is too tired from running around in the past few days, and after returning to the side room on the third floor, Qiao Yixia fell asleep without thinking too much. Lu Xifei, on the other hand, violated his own schedule, leaving the bedroom and going to the study to put the finishing touches on his latest paper after saying goodnight. In the past, when she stayed up late to work, she would definitely ask Qing Ye to help her warm a glass of milk every hour to refresh herself, but now that she thought that Qiao Yixia had fallen asleep, she would always concentrate on work, and she was distracted to cook milk by herself for the first time.

When passing by the staircase, Lu Xifei keenly listened to what seemed to be a faint sound coming from upstairs, very shallow and light, if ordinary people would not notice it at all.

This kind of voice that seemed to cry for help became clearer and clearer as Lu Xifei walked on the stairs, and Qiao Yixia's slightly crying and slurred words made Lu Xifei unconsciously speed up his pace.

"Don't go, Yi Hui, Yi Hui I'm my sister, you hold it, Yi Hui quickly hold my hand!"

After opening the door, Lucy couldn't care about the discomfort of her body, and while pressing her chest, she sat on the edge of Qiao Yixia's bed and began to shake her: "Joe, wake up." ”

"Ahh Qiao Yixia sat up from the bed suddenly, her eyes open, sweat soaked her hair, she sat upright, like a puppet without a trace of anger, "Xiaohui." ”

Lu Xifei knew that Qiao Yixia was in a nightmare, and if she didn't wake her up at this moment, she was afraid that she would be even more frightened when she woke up. Qiao Yixia seemed to be awake, but she didn't seem to be fully awake, she trembled and pinched Lu Xifei's shoulder, Qiao Yixia was very good, she had a lot of strength, but at this moment, she didn't know how to squeeze Lu Xifei very painfully, she shook her desperately, sweat gurgling out: "What about Xiaohui?" Is he okay? Where is he! ”

Lucy endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and said lightly: "He's fine." ”

Qiao Yixia slowly let go of her hand, lowered her head and muttered, "Sister is wrong, forgive my sister." Then he held his head tightly with both hands, looking extremely painful, and even patted his head with his right hand, "You spare my sister, my sister's head hurts, my sister is going crazy!" ”

"Yi Hui cares about my sister very much." Lu Xifei held Qiao Yixia's hand that patted her head vigorously, and comforted her, "Sleep in peace, so as not to worry Yihui." ”

Her words seemed to have magical power, obviously very cold, but Qiao Yixia sounded so soft, and those eyes full of aura, looking at herself so seriously at the moment, teaching her not to be afraid of anything. Even if it is haunted by evil spirits, she dares to face it. Qiao Yixia hugged her regardless of it, buried herself in her arms, but didn't say a word.

For Lu Xifei, she is very tired of this kind of intimate action, she has a cold personality since she was a child, she resists hugging and holding hands with her parents, and naturally she never wants to have such a close behavior with others. But feeling Qiao Yixia's trembling, she couldn't push her away, but she couldn't respond to her either, so she had to sit quietly with a stiff body, waiting for her love to slowly recover.

The small orange lamp in the room was filled with a faint light, shrouding Lu Xifei and Qiao Yixia in a sea of golden flowers, Qiao Yixia closed her eyes tightly, and her trembling eyelashes revealed her inner unease, she was less timid than children of the same age since she was a child, and she had to turn on the light to sleep until she was an adult, and the long darkness would deprive him of a sense of security, before the age of eighteen, she never thought that she would be engaged in criminal investigation work in the future, if it wasn't for that incident, if it wasn't for that person, she would have disappeared forever.

She will never forget the person, her little Hui.

After that, she gave up her long-cherished writing, gave up her dream of Chinese language and literature at Peking University, and resolutely filled in the police academy in the volunteer column.

Time passed in bits and pieces, and listening to the sound of even breathing in her ears, Luci gently laid her down on the bed so that her head could rest on the pillow in a comfortable position.

It was nearly two o'clock in the morning when Luci returned to her room after finishing her work, and in the darkness she stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, and a great loneliness swept over her, making her feel awake for a moment.

In the early morning of the next day, Qiao Yixia received a call from Shi Wei, saying that this time the eight groups of them were extremely efficient in solving the case, and the High Bureau specially approved a day off in order to encourage the comrades, which is undoubtedly a rare good news for police officers.

In this way, I really want to thank Professor Lu.
