Chapter 1 A Different Choice
The sky in the village of Befu was clean at night, and I could see the starry sky, but I had long since lost the mood to see them. I stared blankly at the starry sky, the stars reflected in my eyes, but not in my heart. "I think everybody is so cruel."
"Still thinking about Peng Wen?" Li Jing sat on the meadow with his arms crossed, "Although some people will do incomprehensible things by any means for money, you must also believe that not everyone in this world will make wrong choices." Miss your good friend Luo Ying, she spent five years in order to prove Peng Wen's innocence, and did her best to help her lover in the other world find out the truth. It's like when night falls, in addition to darkness there is also a warm starry sky. ”
"Did we meet before I was hospitalized?" What Li Jing just said made me feel inexplicably familiar.
Li Jing's hand that was about to grunt my head froze in mid-air, but it was only a few seconds, and he suddenly pressed his hand on the top of my head and messed up my head: "What do you think, if I had known you earlier, I wouldn't have let you live like a retarded person every day." ”
As always, I hate it.,The empathetic.,The look of the warm style just now must be my delusion.,I'm slandering in my heart.。 But what he just said is really familiar, and I always remember that someone told me that it seemed that he also loved such a starry night, but who was that person?
When I returned to the hospital, I handed in my resignation, and my aunt was surprised by my sudden departure, but she was quickly relieved, "It's better to change jobs, and you can see a different world." What's your next job? ”
"A friend of mine opened his own studio, and now there are not enough people, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to help. Auntie, I will still come to see you when the hospital prescribes Chinese medicine in the future. Don't miss me too much, hehe. I replied as I packed my things, in fact, there was nothing left, and after I left the little blanket and cushions, as well as the odds and pieces of stationery and books to my aunt, there was nothing to take with me.
"It's going to be a poor mouth. But is that studio reliable? Auntie asked a little worriedly.?? `
I knew what my aunt was worried about, and hurriedly comforted her: "No problem. His friend had just gotten the investment. It is to transform scientific research achievements, and the prospects are very good. Auntie don't worry about me, I'll take good care of myself. I affectionately massaged my aunt's shoulder, but my aunt's expression still looked a little worried. She patted my hand on her shoulder and said, "You have to take a little longer to go to the new unit, and no one outside will protect you like Li Jing." ”
Although I don't want to admit it, it's true, every time I was caught by the dean because of my frizzy personality, Li Jing always helped me intercede. Or help me deal with the mess. So this time I changed my job, but also to be able to train myself and complete my own things without his care.
I don't know why, I've always subconsciously avoided Li Jing recently, although we still eat together, but there is always an indescribable love in my heart that makes me want to hide far away, maybe I want to be strong too much, so I'm running away from his protection, right? That's how I always comfort myself in my heart. So before submitting my resignation, I didn't say anything to Li Jing. I asked Li Jing to go to eat beans with me after work, and I thought there was heat as a shield. Saying goodbye might not be so awkward.
When I got off work, my aunt was still telling me to go to the new unit to be exquisite, and when she felt that the instructions were comprehensive, it was almost an hour after the end of work, and when I went out, I saw Li Jing waiting for me, and his face didn't look very good.
"Leaving?" He asked me as I walked over.
I nodded, observed his expression, and cautiously asked, "Did you hear it all outside?" ”
He didn't look at me, and walked forward on his own: "In the afternoon, my colleagues in personnel told me, today's meal is considered a breakup meal?" ”
"Where can I be?" I caught up with Li Jing and said dogleggedly. "I'm just in the new company, I'm still your little brother, don't you still point to you to show me the world?" It seems that he's gotten used to coaxing him lately, but I can catch a glimpse of his expression.?.? My nervousness just now disappeared inexplicably, "So today's dinner is for my new job!" ”
"Yes, yes." Li Jing echoed helplessly, and his mood was much better than just now.
"You said I left the hospital, would you be lonely?" Through the mist of the hot pot, I cheekily teased him.
"Don't worry. I should have a lot less worry, and I don't have to think about how to help a brainless little monster clean up the mess every day. Li Jing glanced at me and began to stir the seasoning in his hand, "But if you go to a new company, you must no longer live a so-so life like here, and you must work hard to grow up in a new environment." ”
"Got it! But you didn't have the right mouth just now! I looked at him funny, forget it, hasn't he been so twisted all the time!
Li Jing smiled with a red face and began to look at the ingredients in the pot.
The studio seemed to be as tiring as everyone said, and I was so tired after the first day of work that I just wanted to lie on the table and not move. Because the whole studio is newly established, except for the technical staff, the rest of the work is only done by me, Zheng Min's friends who asked me to help, and me. Because the other party is a perfectionist, he has strict requirements for the completion of the work, and the day's harsh criticism made me feel the urge to retreat when I was successful, but thinking that this was a rare way to prove my strength to Li Jing, I finally endured it. This forbearance was endured for a whole month, and the days of working overtime on both weekends finally paid off at the end of the month. The company also recruited new people, and I could finally take a breather, and I realized that I hadn't contacted anyone for a whole month when I received the bank card credit.
Without waiting for me to call Li Jing, Li Jing's phone appeared on my mobile phone screen, and when the phone was connected, Li Jing's voice came out of the earpiece after a long absence: "Xiaozhi, are you busy now?" There's something I need you to help me with. ”
Maybe it was a high salary, or maybe I heard a reassuring voice that I hadn't seen for a long time, I agreed without hesitation, Li Jing asked me if I could take a few days off, I asked the person in charge of the studio sitting opposite, he hesitated and agreed.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else I need to do? I looked at the man across from me and asked uncomfortably.
He shook his head and waved at me for me to go, but just as I was about to step out of the studio door, he suddenly stopped me: "Xiaozhi." ”
I looked back at him, he was stunned for a moment, and finally waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just for you to pay attention to safety." I tilted my head to look at him for a few seconds, nodded, and walked out of the studio. What a strange man, I thought before I stepped out of the door.
When I found Li Jing in the café, he was talking to Mr. Lu, and there was a boarding suitcase next to me. She didn't notice me until I got closer. But what I noticed was Li Jing's habitually tightly knit brow: "What's wrong?" I asked.
Li Jing helped me pull out the chair and saw that I was seated before explaining, "I have taken on a tricky matter, and we need to investigate something." ”
"Where to go?" It shouldn't be as simple as asking me to take a few days off work and investigate locally.
"Go to L City." I guessed it.
"When are we out? I've got a compensatory day off this week. ”
"Today, I just booked a plane ticket, go pack my luggage, let's go out in a while, and I will tell you specific things on the way."
Teacher Lu interrupted Li Jing: "Before I go out, I will talk to Xiaozhi about the general matter. Teacher Lu turned to me, "One of my students works at the police station in L City, he has encountered a murder case before and has no clue, two days ago when they summarized the unsolved cases in the past few years, they turned to a few cases similar to their own cases, and the results showed 90% similarity when they were compared, thinking of serial murder cases. Because I am studying the direction of criminal psychology, I want to ask for my opinion, but I have been assisting Team Xiao in investigating other cases recently, and I really can't spare time, so I thought about asking you and Li Jing to help, after all, you and Li Jing have also been in contact with several similar cases, and Li Jing has taken courses in this area, I believe you should be able to help my students on my behalf. I don't know if you've changed jobs, but when you say you're on leave, I'm much more relieved. ”
"Is that student of yours as strange as Li Jing?" I looked at Mr. Lu and asked.
Teacher Lu was stunned for a moment, but after suddenly realizing it, he said with a smile: "How is it possible? Of all my students, Li Jing was the only one who spoke so harshly. My student is much better talkative than Li Jing. ”
Li Jing glanced at the two of us, and poured the cold coffee in the cup into his mouth in one go: "Okay, pack up your things, let's go out." ”
After simply packing our bags, we headed to the airport. In the waiting hall, I asked Li Jing cheekily, "Have you missed me lately?" ”
"If I hadn't called you today, would you still have contacted me?" Li Jing didn't answer my question, but looking at his unhappy face, I knew he was just shy.
I hurriedly replied, "Of course!" What are you pretentious about? It's not a big girl. I've been really busy lately, Zheng Min's friend's studio hasn't hired enough employees, a lot of things are done by me and his friend, today is the first day off since I went to work, and I'll accompany you to L City to investigate the case, don't you think I've been righteous enough? ”
Li Jing watched me tiptoe and quarrel with him, uncharacteristically not the most sarcastic, but laughed out of his face, I carefully poked Li Jing's arm: "Li Jing, you didn't eat something unclean, right?" ”
Li Jing glanced at me and stopped talking, pulled the boarding box to the check-in gate, I was not in the hospital for a month, he became so strange, it can't be a bad stomach, right? (To be continued.) )
