Chapter 33: Beautiful
Lu Cheng parked the car, and the property staff reconfirmed his identity and registered. The security guard called the property management and led the two towards the apartment building.
20 buildings 701.
The building manager took out the key and opened the door.
The glimmer of light in the hallway lit up.
There was a cool breeze in the room, and Shen Ran didn't close the window when he went out, and Lu Cheng saw the window sill he had said at a glance.
The white curtains fluttered in the wind, and it was strange to see a woman sitting on the windowsill at night.
The house is not small, but he is the only one who lives there, and it is somewhat empty.
Although Shen Ran was also a man, he shouldn't have to worry too much, but since he heard that he would see something strange, Lu Cheng still didn't feel at ease.
Along the way, Lu Cheng kept holding Shen Ran, others persuaded him to put it down, and several people walked together, after all, it was the weight of an adult man, Lu Cheng only said that he was not tired and refused.
In terms of Lu Cheng's daily exercise and physical strength, it is not a problem to walk such a little way with Shen Ran in his arms. What's more, Lu Cheng was worried that one of the others would accidentally bump into it, which would be even worse. Lu Cheng has always had a heavy sense of responsibility, and he is not at ease when he hands over what he thinks is important to others, which is one of the reasons why he can be appointed as a vice captain at work.
It wasn't until a few people walked into Shen Ran's room that Lu Cheng put Shen Ran lying flat on the bed.
When his hand touched Shen Ran's velvet futon and sheets, he clearly felt Shen Ran slip from his hand to the mattress.
Even the sheets were cold. Lu Cheng sighed in his heart.
He put Shen Ran's hand into the quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt.
"Your colleague is so dizzy, someone has to take turns taking care of him." Uncle Property glanced at Shen Ran and said. "This key...... Do you need me to get you one? Or, when you come, call me, and I will open the door for you. ”
When the uncle asked if he needed another key, his eyes were looking at Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng understood that it was mainly because of his identity as a criminal policeman, if he said that he needed it, most of the property would not refuse, at most it was for the case.
But the uncle rolled his eyes, and proposed that he would open the door, after all, he was still a little relieved, and hoped that he could also stare at it.
This time Lu Cheng did not insist, he agreed that the property would open the door.
As soon as he saw that this uncle was so responsible for his work, he was inclined to cooperate with him in supervision, on the other hand, this is Shen Ran's home after all, even if he is tough and authoritarian, it is only at work. For Shen Ran, the owner here, before he wakes up, he will maintain a minimum bottom line and respect.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Xu Guangyuan saw that Lu Cheng had no objection to this, and he couldn't say anything.
"I'm not too busy right now, so I'll stay here today. If Professor Xu is busy, go ahead and get busy. ”
Lu Cheng's height was slightly taller than Xu Guangyuan, so he was at the door of the room, with his arms in his hands, his eyes slightly downward, looking at Xu Guangyuan and saying.
This posture is like a door god.
His tone was not like a consultation with someone, but more like a one-man dictatorship, directly giving a command order.
Xu Guangyuan felt that he was too exaggerated, but he didn't care about these details with him at this time, he just felt a headache.
He didn't know if it was true that Lu Cheng said that he was not busy, but he really had a bunch of things to deal with.
He stood there for a moment, hesitated, and then decided, "Okay." Then I'll take care of it first, according to my previous experience, just let him sleep alone, it's not a big problem. I'll come back later. ”
"Hmm." Lu Cheng didn't talk to him anymore, and finally the two reached a discussion without incident.
For the next period of time, just like Xu Guangyuan said, Shen Ran was in a state of deep sleep and didn't seem to need special care.
Lu Cheng moved a white wooden chair with a backrest and sat on the edge of the bed.
He looked at Shen Ran's face and felt that some things seemed to be repeated, but there were some differences.
The last time I was in the hospital, it was the same, staying by Shen Ran's side. I have to wait for him to wake up before I can rest assured.
What was different was that he didn't seem to look at Shen Ran's face so carefully.
Shen Ran gave him the impression of white skin and thin figure. The rest of the time, he didn't keep staring at Shen Ran.
A few times a while, Shen Ran approached him, and he could see the dark brown pupils through Shen Ran's thick eyelashes.
Shen Ran was born with a lazy and unfocused look, which made Lu Cheng unsure whether Shen Ran had taken a serious look at him.
Thinking of this question, Lu Cheng suddenly felt the inside of his chest jump suddenly.
What's going on, the temperature in the house seems to be a bit high.
Lu Cheng felt a little hot in his body.
He was going to open the window of his room wider.
Thinking so in his head, his body still sat in his chair and did not move.
He was still looking at Shen Ran, this face had not been looked at so carefully before.
In the hospital and at home, there is still a difference. There were people in the hospital, and it was difficult for him to make such an action, and he didn't want to look at him like that at the time......
Looking closer now, his eyelashes are also a little brown.
There seems to be a slight gradient of color.
It had been another hour or two since he took Shen Ran home in the afternoon.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and Shen Ran's face was half of it showing a soft luster under the action of the light outside the window, and half of it was hidden in a faint shadow.
At this time, Lu Cheng had that impulse again, wanting to get close to him, wanting to reach out, wanting to touch him......
He didn't know why he thought that way.
His rational brain seemed to be dead at this time, blank.
He got up from his chair but didn't walk to the window.
He unconsciously took a step in the direction of the bed.
Unfortunately, he walked big and soon touched the edge of the bed. This bed is also quite big, and Shen Ran is lying in the middle, still some distance from him.
He wanted to go further, so he lifted one of his legs, knelt half-kneeling on the futon, and propped his hands on the bed, his upper body leaning forward completely.
It's a lot closer.
It seems a little too close.
Shen Ran's low and slow breathing, as well as the frequency of slight blinking of his eyelids......
It's too close, this one is too close.
Lu Cheng's mind was full of this sentence, but his body couldn't move.
The temperature in the room rose again, and his breathing quickened.
It's so pretty......
Just as this exclamation was about to come to mind, his cell phone rang.
Shen Ran's brows furrowed slightly.
Lu Cheng hurriedly jumped out of bed from the bed, hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and strode towards the living room, constantly pressing the keys in his hand to lower the volume.
He walked to the living room and breathed a sigh of relief. When I picked up my phone, I saw that it was Xiaomei.
"This girl is about to scare Lao Tzu to death." He picked up the phone and said in an unkind tone, "What's the matter?" ”
"Boss, boss, you said that I will call you to report later......" Xiaomei knows her boss too well, how can she provoke him.
Did you not do your job well, or was the call late?
The Marines' temper is getting harder and harder to figure out right now. Especially every time Shen Ran appeared, he was a little abnormal...... Just like a woman is troubled by her aunt every month, during that time there will be emotional abnormalities and physical disorders. Could it be that the Marines also have a few days a month, Shen Ran, is his eldest uncle?
Xiaomei speculated and lamented why her career was so bumpy.
She didn't dare to express any of these strange thoughts, but just reported the results of the afternoon's work endlessly.
During this period, Lu Cheng didn't say a word, which made her nervous.
Fortunately, when she finished speaking, Lu Cheng gave her affirmation, "Okay, well done." These materials need to be sorted into written documents, I have to look at them all, sign them, and report them to the top again, and the case should be completely closed. ”
Lu Cheng listened very carefully, and his mood seemed to have returned to normal.
"Boss, you have to come back as soon as possible, I'm done here, and I have to try you again."
Lu Cheng frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and replied to her: "Tomorrow, I'll go back tomorrow." Call me again if there is anything new. ”
Xiaomei also paused for a second, and then agreed, "Okay." ”
Her boss is iron-faced and selfless, work-oriented, and has never delayed the investigation of the case. Even if it's just for a day.
If he is procrastinating like this, he will definitely find out what the reason is.
In this kind of detail, Xiaomei is really proud of her emotional intelligence slightly higher than that of the land team.
No need to ask, Xiaomei can probably guess that it has something to do with that Shen University expert.
It's just that Xiaomei didn't expect that there was one thing, and there was a person who could make the Lu team let go of the most important thing at hand.
This is not at all the style of the Marines in the past.
She suddenly remembered what the fat man said, Schrödinger's relationship......
What is it like between them?
She rekindled her curiosity about this question.
Hanging up the phone, Lu Cheng returned to the bedroom, and he was relieved to see that Shen Ran was not woken up.
"What am I doing?" He asked himself. I was deeply dissatisfied with my chaotic feelings and actions just now.
He decided to stay here at night, but not in the bedroom.
This house has three bedrooms, except for the master bedroom where Shen Ran sleeps by himself, the other two rooms, one of which is used as a study, and the other has not been sorted out, and only a layer of cloth is laid on the bed board. It should be like Xu Guangyuan said, he is alone on weekdays, and no one else has lived.
It can be seen that Shen Ran himself can't use all the space in this room. And the whole house is more like a family designed for multiple people living together.
Why did you choose to live here? Lu Cheng had a little doubt.
He planned to sleep on the sofa in the living room at night, which was not enough, the sofa space was spacious enough and the material was comfortable. Shen Ran himself should often pass the time here.
He went to the semi-open kitchen at the other end of the living room to take a look, the ingredients were not too many, but they were complete, it seemed that Shen Ran, who lived alone, often cooked at home.
Looking at these details, Lu Cheng sketched Shen Ran's life in his mind little by little.
Independent, concise, and a little withdrawn.
This is very much in line with the impression he has made, he is quiet, always standing silently, rarely noticed by others, and that he is the most perceptive and perceptive person who knows the key.
Lu Cheng looked at his neatly arranged kitchen utensils for only one person, and thought about using these kitchen utensils to make himself some dinner, but he thought about it or gave up.
These were his personal belongings, and when he touched them, Lu Cheng would feel offended. It's like he doesn't know why he wants to get close to Shen Ran when he's asleep, this is where he can't understand himself when he's awake.
Breaking into his house without permission is already a very offensive move, and I don't know if he will be angry.
Although Lu Cheng couldn't help but be a little worried, he would not regret it.
Speaking of which, he was reluctant to put Shen Ran with Xu Guangyuan, Lu Cheng's explanation to himself was because he was not at ease, Xu Guangyuan was very busy every day, how could he have time to take care of people?
However, this logic does not seem to be so tenable when he pushes it on himself.
But he didn't think about it.
Anyway, for him, everything is divided into ranks in his heart, and he always grasps the most important things to do first, which has become his habit of acting without thinking.
"Forget it, let's order takeout." Lu Cheng glanced at the refrigerator and said to himself.
He still had to go to the bathroom, and after staying so long, it was time to put water on himself.
Next to the toilet is a separate shower room, and the bathtub on the other side is divided into two spaces.
You can also take a shower for a while, and don't sweat and lie on the sofa. Lu Cheng pondered like this, and his mood was a little happy.
After putting the water, he walked to the sink to wash his hands and looked in the mirror by the way.
There are Shen Ran's sanitary utensils, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc., all of which are for one person.
Lu Cheng found that this mirror seemed to be a mirror cabinet, so he pressed it on the mirror, and the mirror bounced open, and it was indeed a cabinet inside, and there were some spare toothbrushes, towels or something in the cabinet.
None of this was unusual, but he saw something resembling a small bottle in the corner of the cupboard.
Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, he still took out the small bottle.
"What's that?" It seems to be a medicine......
There are a few clear words written on the bottle, Estezolam tablets.
Lu Cheng's eyes immediately widened, and his originally relaxed mood dissipated invisibly.
After working as a criminal police officer for several years, he is still familiar with the names of some common drugs.
"Sleeping pills?"
Shen Ran, is he taking medicine?
