Chapter 17: The Benefactor
Listening to Dai Xu's tone, he didn't seem to be looking forward to this dinner, and he still felt a little burdened. In fact, Fang Yuan also felt a little burdened, but she didn't know if her sense of burden was the same as Dai Xu's, she felt that it was originally a very simple thing, because of the needs of work, so she protected Bai Ziyue's personal safety, this was not out of personal position, so naturally it was not a matter of who owed anyone any favors, but Bai Ziyue feasted his benefactor with such fanfare, but it complicated things.
going, it is equivalent to thinking that they really have some life-saving grace for Bai Ziyue; If you don't go, let Bai Ziyue hang there alone, in a dilemma, in an embarrassing situation, and if you don't do it well, you will be easily annoyed and angry.
It's really a bit reluctant and awkward.
But even if it wasn't reluctant, this meal should still be eaten, now Fang Yuan only hoped that they were already so late because of work, it was best to have eaten over there, in this way, they went over, went through the motions, and said hello to Bai Ziyue, and this matter would be dealt with.
It didn't take long to drive to the hotel that Bai Ziyue booked, it took almost ten minutes to arrive, the business of this hotel was really hot, Dai Xu spent a while of hard work, and finally found a parking space, and parked the car at the designated location under the command of the hotel security, then got out of the car with Fang Yuan and went straight to the private room that Bai Ziyue had booked, calculating the time, Tang Hongye and they should have arrived early.
Walk to the door of the private room, through the closed door. I couldn't hear anything inside, and I guess the atmosphere wasn't much warmer, so it didn't go without saying Tonic Li. The person who can't count on the hot scene the most is him, Zhong Han is not introverted, but unfortunately there is such an arrogance in his bones, and he is not so approachable to everyone, giggling, in the end, only Tang Hongye is left, Tang Hongye is a chatterbox. It's just that if the four of them eat together, the others don't talk much, and they want to rely on him to heat up the atmosphere alone. Estimates are also unrealistic.
The waiter stepped forward and knocked on the door, opening the door to inform the people in the private room that there were guests arriving again, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan walked in and found that the private room was not big. Inside there is a round table. It was probably full and only enough to accommodate about six people, Zhong Han didn't come, Tang Hongye and Tang Li attended as promised, Bai Ziyue sat diagonally opposite the two of them, and the dishes on the table looked quite sumptuous, but it seemed that a few people didn't move their chopsticks much.
"Oh my God, you two are finally here!" I saw Dai Xu and Fang Yuan come in. The first person to show relief was actually Tang Hongye. He hurriedly greeted him and pulled Fang Yuan to Bai Ziyue, who had just stood up from the chair, "Doctor Bai, Fang Yuan is here, you have been saying that you want to thank you for saving your life, our brothers can't take credit for this matter, from the beginning of taking into account your situation, until the end of the protection, it was her, if you want to say that you have to say that you are not a benefactor, among the few of us, only Fang Yuan dares to admit this!" ”
Fang Yuan didn't expect that he would be pushed to the front as soon as he entered the room, he was embarrassed, he hurriedly waved his hand, smiled wryly, and said modestly: "No, no, I was just an intern at the time......"
Bai Ziyue looked at her and smiled kindly, reached out to hold Fang Yuan's arm, pulled her to herself, and very enthusiastically arranged for Fang Yuan to sit next to her, saying, "I don't care if you were an intern at that time, I knew that if it wasn't for you at that time, I wouldn't have lost my life, so you are really my benefactor sister!" ”
"In fact, I would have done that at that time, and it was all the deployment of my predecessors, not that I could do what I wanted alone, so it was everyone's credit." Fang Yuan's face flushed from Bai Ziyue's praise, and he hurriedly waved his hand.
Bai Ziyue pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Yes, a famous teacher is a high-level apprentice, so I also received Officer Dai's favor!" ”
Dai Xu just sat down in front of Tang Hongye, as if he didn't expect the topic to suddenly go around his head, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's a prize, as the old saying goes, the apprentice leads the door, the cultivation is personal, there is nothing to do with me here, I just came to eat today by the light of Fang Yuan!" ”
He didn't say this, Tang Hongye and Tang Li were also laughed at, they all nodded in agreement, Fang Yuan was even more embarrassed, his face was bright and bright, and he glared at Dai Xu with his eyes, annoyed that he actually pushed himself out to block the eye.
Bai Ziyue also laughed, and after laughing, she began to warmly greet everyone to eat together, she said while putting vegetables on the plate in front of Fang Yuan: "Okay, I know that your little girl is thin-skinned and easy to be embarrassed, I am actually similar, so in this case, I won't say anything about benefactors in the future, we will be good sisters in the future, I don't have many relatives and friends in City A, I am usually busy with work, and I don't have any opportunities to expand my social side, and my usual life is actually quite boring. If you don't think I'm boring, let's be good friends in the future, sisters, and go shopping and chat together when it's okay! ”
"Fang Yuan, it's a shame that you're not a man, if you're a man, now it's a pie in the sky!" After Tang Hongye heard what Bai Ziyue said, he couldn't help but laugh and ridicule Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan smiled wryly, she didn't know what to say, she and Bai Ziyue had only met twice, one was a doctor, the other was a policeman, and their profession was completely unrelated, plus Fang Yuan herself was also very clear about her character, although she was not good at words, she had always been slow to be enthusiastic in interpersonal relationships, and making friends was completely casual, even during the time of the internship, she was able to get along with Dai Xu more and more familiarly, Almost half of this is due to Dai Xu's personality and tolerant care for her.
So in addition to the courtesy promise, Fang Yuan was still surprised by the olive branch thrown by Bai Ziyue, from the bottom of her bones, she had an inexplicable intuition, thinking that she and Bai Ziyue were two completely different types of people, it was hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be like for two people to be friends together.
Looking at each other without saying a word, they still talk to themselves. Talking about each other? I feel awkward about everything.
Bai Ziyue seemed to see that Fang Yuan's smile was just a polite expression, but he didn't care much and shrugged. gently hugged Fang Yuan's shoulders and said to her: "Don't worry, I'm usually quite busy, so don't worry about dragging you out to go shopping with me if I have nothing to do, I just hope that after the night shift occasionally, when I'm lonely, I can have a little sister to talk to me." Chat, have a meal together, and just chat a few words of gossip. I'm sure we'll become very good friends! ”
Fang Yuan nodded hurriedly, Bai Ziyue said it in such a low manner, if he was still tense, it would be too uncultivated. Although from the heart. Fang Yuan didn't think at all that a girl like Bai Ziyue, who was beautiful and had a decent job, would be as bleak and lonely as she said, Fang Yuan vaguely remembered that when he went to the hospital to investigate, he seemed to have heard from other people's mouths that Bai Ziyue's opposite sex was still quite good.
However, what the onlookers see is always the appearance, what the inner world of the parties is like, I'm afraid only Bai Ziyue himself knows best, and Fang Yuan doesn't want to speculate too much. I just don't want to.
After Dai Xu and Fang Yuan arrived, the atmosphere in the private room was a little more lively than before. After all, there are more people, and there are more people who can talk, Tonic still continues to keep his silence is golden, Tang Hongye is trying to heat up the atmosphere very hard, and will deliberately pick out some small jokes and jokes within the public security bureau that are convenient to say to liven up the atmosphere, Dai Xu basically plays the role of a witness on the side, proving that what Tang Hongye said is the truth, not that he deliberately made up jokes, Bai Ziyue was amused several times, and praised Tang Hongye's humor, and praised Tang Hongye so much that he was almost about to float.
"I really didn't expect that the inside of your Public Security Bureau was actually so interesting," Bai Ziyue finally sighed, "We all thought that because of the nature of your work, you must be very serious and rigid, not smiling, like a wooden man, it seems that I should go to visit more in the future, visit you, have a deep understanding of your most real side, and help you clear up the misunderstanding of the outside world!" ”
Hearing these words in the ears of the four people in the Public Security Bureau, that is, Fu Yixiao, no one went to their hearts, whether it was the Public Security Bureau or the court procuratorate, in the outside society, it is often commonly known as "Yamen", when there is nothing to do, they can't hide, who will have something to do and want to run to them to hang out.
At about half past nine, several people said that they had eaten, so Bai Ziyue beckoned the waiter to come in and pay the bill, and the waiter went out to confirm it, and then came in with the receipt and the change he found, and handed it directly to Dai Xu, who was sitting closer to the door.
Bai Ziyue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
The waiter pointed at Dai Xu and said, "When this gentleman came just now, he put money at the bar, which means that he has prepaid everyone's meal, and it does not exceed the prepaid amount, so you can just make change." ”
Bai Ziyue waited for the waiter to go out before protesting to Dai Xu: "Officer Dai, what do you mean by this?" It's too much to dismiss my face, although I am still a little doctor, and my qualifications and professional titles are not in place, but I can still afford to invite my benefactor to a meal, how embarrassed you are for me! ”
"No, no, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, this money is what I bet there for Fang Yuan, you don't know her character, what she is most afraid of is being thought to be a meritorious person, if this meal tonight is really invited by you, she will be awkward to go back for a long time." Dai Xu waved his hand with a smile, pointed at Fang Yuan, and said to Bai Ziyue.
Bai Ziyue was stunned for a moment, and while holding Fang Yuan's hand affectionately, he said: "So my decision is the most correct, in the future, I will be sisters with Fang Yuan, not to mention any benefactor or benefactor, but what, I am a person who does things very clearly, one yard is one yard, tonight's meal, I owe you, I have a chance to pay back this debt when I turn around." Maybe you don't know me well enough, if Fang Yuan is afraid of taking credit, then what I am most afraid of is what I owe to others, whether it is money or emotion, I don't like it, so I will remember this account first, and find a chance to return it sooner or later, you will definitely not be able to run away. ”
When she spoke, her tone sounded a little domineering, but there was a coquettish taste in it, which was not annoying, and it would not make people feel offended, Tang Hongye laughed on the side, but Dai Xu didn't say anything.
Because no one was drinking, except for the door of the hotel, Bai Ziyue waved goodbye to the four people, and left by himself, and the remaining four people stood at the door of the hotel, and no one immediately got in the car and went home.
"Dai Xu, are you still hungry? Let's find another place to continue our meal? Tang Hongye held back for a long time, and finally scratched his head and asked a little embarrassed.
"Hungry, can you not be hungry, a few of us haven't even eaten a staple food just now, let's go, let's eat some more in another place." Dai Xu didn't pretend to him, and waved his hand directly, "Get in the car and follow me." ”
The four of them all got into the car happily, although the restaurant Bai Ziyue chose was very high-grade, and the dishes were not bad, but Bai Ziyue couldn't help but invite people as the nominal host, almost all of the rice grains in the bowl were used with chopsticks, except for a few green vegetables, almost nothing was eaten in the mouth, Tang Hongye couldn't help but ask, Bai Ziyue said that in order to maintain his figure, he generally only drank water after six o'clock in the evening, and did not even eat sugary fruits, and his diet was very strict.
As soon as she said this, Fang Yuan, who was sitting next to her, suddenly didn't know how to move the chopsticks, although she was now thinking about the problem of her figure, but a beautiful woman with a good appearance and a slender figure, and she was still an unfamiliar beauty, strictly controlling her diet on the side, on the other hand, because her heart had been relieved recently, the results of the previous diet were gone, and she was once again marching in the direction of fullness, even if she put aside the so-called inferiority complex, objectively speaking, stay by Bai Ziyue's side, It still gives people a dwarfed feeling, making her open her hungry belly next to her to eat, and she really can't open her mouth or stretch out her chopsticks.
Needless to say, a few other people, men, in front of the more outstanding opposite sex, even if there are no superfluous ideas, they will instinctively want to maintain their demeanor, the girls don't use chopsticks, they eat Haisai there, it's too ugly, so, you look at me, I look at you, just endure it.
