Just as Ge Bin was hesitating between walking and not leaving, Xu Zhonghui's voice sounded again: "Officer Ge, look at how beautiful these lanterns are, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, do you have any plans?" Will you go out to eat and go shopping and watch a movie with peace of mind? ”

Xu Zhonghui asked bluntly, but Ge Bin couldn't face it calmly, so he had to say vaguely: "Christmas is a Western religious holiday, and I have always only celebrated traditional Chinese festivals. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's an Eastern festival or a Western holiday, it's just a reason, and it can give couples an excuse to go on a date, saving them the trouble of making excuses to date, isn't it great?"

"I'm going to be on duty tomorrow ......," Ge Bin explained again.

However, he suddenly realized that he didn't really need to make this explanation. As soon as Fang spoke, he stopped after only halfway speaking.

"You can't chase girls like this!" Although Xu Zhonghui's words were frivolous, the expression on his face was very upright, and he couldn't see any contempt, "Forget it, marriage is destined, and individuals have their own lives, and I can't persuade you." Let's do our own things according to our own ideas! With that, he waved his hand at Ge Bin again and again.

Ge Bin didn't say anything more, picked up his belongings, and turned around and left decisively.

Looking at Ge Bin's long back, Xu Zhonghui picked up the mobile phone on the table again, slid to the screensaver, tapped the missed call, and dialed back.

As soon as the standby bell rang, the phone was connected, and it was obvious that the other party had been guarding the phone, waiting for Xu Zhonghui's call back.

"Peace of mind, is there something wrong with calling me?" Xu Zhonghui asked in a soft tone, which was completely different from the tone he had spoken to Ge Bin before.

"Where are you now?" An An's words revealed a faint worry, "After the memorial service, you didn't know where to go, and you didn't attend the dinner, I called you several times, but you didn't answer, where did you go?" ”

"I didn't go anywhere, I just wandered around my house for a while."

"Drinking again?" Peace of mind seems to be dissatisfied.

"Nope." Xu Zhonghui flatly denied it, but his tone was extremely gentle, "I just found a place to have dinner, and then sat down slightly." The surroundings are a bit noisy, and my phone is set to vibrate again, so I don't get your call. ”

"Really?" Anxin didn't seem to fully believe his words.

"Really." Xu Zhonghui swore and said, "If you don't believe it, you can come and verify it in person!" ”

Anxin didn't answer, and the conversation came to a halt for a moment.

"Why don't you come over and have a drink with me! I did want someone to have a drink or two. Xu Zhonghui made an invitation, and there was some coquettishness in his tone.

"It's not convenient for me to come out right now." An Xin immediately rejected Xu Zhonghui's proposal, but felt that such an answer was a bit unkind, so he said, "Drinking hurts your body, you better drink less, go back and rest early!" ”

Xu Zhonghui pursed his lips and smiled, and murmured: "What he said is exactly the same." ”

"What did you say?" Anxin asked on the other end of the phone.

"Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, do you have any arrangements?" Xu Zhonghui avoided Anxin's question, and said to him, "Do you want to have a meal with me?" It seems like we haven't eaten together in a long time. ”

Anxin was a little embarrassed, and said: "I've never been able to do Western festivals, and besides, the studio has been busy recently, so I may not be able to spare time." ”

"Even the excuses and justifications are the same." Xu Zhonghui sneered and stopped talking.

"Zhonghui, I know that An Ran is gone, and you don't feel good in your heart......"

"Actually, it's okay......"

"If you want someone to talk to and relax, you can always call me......"

"I know you're busy......"

"Your parents died young, and now that they are safe and gone, you must feel very lonely......"

"I'm fine......"

"It's cooled down in the past two days, don't stay out for too long, be careful of catching a cold......"

"I'll go back ...... now."

"I'm relieved to know you're okay......"

"Peace of mind......

"Hmmm......"

"It's okay, you also rest early and take care of grandpa."

"Don't worry, I will."

"I'll go see Grandpa in two days."

"Grandpa will be very happy to find out."

"Peace of mind......

"Hmmm......"

"It's all right, good night."

"Okay, good night."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhonghui raised his head and stared at the starry sky in a daze. At this moment, a dark cloud drifted in, obscuring the stars in the night sky and casting a haze on his face. His body was shrouded in cold, as if his breath became a little colder, and the anger in his eyes also increased. After a while, he got up, with a gloomy look, and strode towards the other side of the road, gradually disappearing into the night.

Early the next morning, as soon as Ge Bin got to work, he received an order from Huang Fangyuan, asking him to send a document to the sub-bureau, and pick up another person back by the way.

"What kind of man, can't you come to the house by yourself? We also had to make a special trip to the branch office to pick us up. Ge Bin muttered dissatisfied.

"Newcomer." Huang Fangyuan said vaguely.

"Newcomer? Haven't the new police officers been assigned to them a long time ago? Why did a new person suddenly appear at this time? Ge Bin was puzzled.

"Let you pick someone back, what is so much nonsense?" Huang Fangyuan grimaced and reprimanded.

Ge Bin shrunk his neck and said no more. On the contrary, Lin Xuan, who was on the side, beckoned to him, and the two quickly hid outside the door and bit their ears.

"I've heard that this new guy is a bit of a novice." Lin Xuan said mysteriously, "It seems that the top has specially assigned us to do so." ”

"Why?" Ge Bin became more and more puzzled.

"I heard that this person's grandfather is the former president of the Municipal High Court, his father is the director of the Suburban East Public Security Bureau, and his mother holds an important position in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the family has a great background."

"It's not good for such a person to find a job, why do you come to us?"

"Maybe we don't have a lot of work here!"

"Even if our police station is in a safe corner, no matter how you say it, it is also a police station, the most basic department, where can there be less things? Wouldn't it be nice to really find an idle position and arrange for an in-house position in a functional department? ”

Lin Xuan spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and put on a posture of "God knows", which can be regarded as an answer to Ge Bin's question.

Ge Bin didn't say anything more, and went to the branch office with the materials.

Ge Bin first went to the criminal investigation detachment to hand in the materials, and then rushed to the personnel section of the political department, but was told that the person he wanted to pick up was in the director's office. Ge Bin was immediately stunned, thinking to himself where this is sacred? The battle for entry and registration is so big, and the director has to come forward in person.

Even though there were thousands of doubts in his heart, but the pace under his feet did not stagnate in the slightest, Ge Bin walked to the director's office step by step with a stomach full of curiosity. Before he reached the door, Ge Bin had already heard a burst of laughter like silver bells floating in the entire corridor, and unconsciously quickened the pace of his steps.

When he stood outside the open door of the director's office, there was a sense of time and space. I saw that Director Guo of the Political Department was looking at the little girl in front of him with a loving gaze, smiling lightly, and the little girl was calling "Uncle Guo" one by one. Was he really standing at the door of one of the offices of the Public Security Bureau? Shouldn't this be the scene in someone's living room? The loving elders are chatting with the well-behaved juniors.

"Yo, isn't this Ge Bin? You have labored and you have come to pick up people. After Director Guo caught a glimpse of the person at the door, he immediately warmly greeted Ge Bin into the office, and then said to the little girl with a smile, "It seems that they attach great importance to you." ”

The little girl smiled and didn't answer, but said to Ge Bin excitedly, "I know you." ”

A sentence quickly caught Ge Bin's attention, and he couldn't help but look at the rumored mysterious person in front of him. On the way to the precinct, he had imagined in his mind a thousand times what this mysterious figure would look like, but the result was very different from what he had imagined. He thought that he would see a gentleman with an unruly face, but who knew that the person standing in front of him was a graceful girl, in her early twenties, about 1.6 meters tall, with short hair and a clean temperament; With a round face with a little baby fat, a pair of crystal clear big eyes, and a round and small nose, although it is not a beauty at first sight, it is quite attractive.
