Chapter 16: Resoluteness
Huang Shuai was angry before, only complaining to the cuckoo, and didn't pay attention to the surroundings at all, but now he suddenly heard Tang Hongye's voice, and he was also startled, and hurriedly turned around to look at him, just in time to see Tang Hongye standing behind, lazily leaning on a desk, staring at himself with a smile on his face.
Huang Shuai was a little displeased, but he didn't want to show it in front of Tang Hongye, since he was seconded to City A, he can see it very clearly, although Tang Hongye may not be the best criminal police officer in the entire criminal police team, but he can be said to be the best one in the bureau, and his reputation is quite good. And don't look at this person's usual smile, as if he is very good-tempered and talkative, but his intuition tells Huang Shuai that this is not a soft persimmon that is easy to handle, if it really annoys him, it may not be easy to dismiss.
So he smiled at Tang Hongye and said, "Hongye, don't get me wrong, I didn't say anything wrong with you, I just just focused on the method and attitude of the cuckoo to deal with the problem." ”
"Her house has become the scene of the crime, and the idea of moving in is mine, and I am the one who is preparing for settling down, and she has no choice," Tang Hongye is not stupid, they all say that men understand men better, so Huang Shuai's careful thinking is no different from transparent in his eyes from the very beginning, and now what he wants to do is to take everything on his own head, and not give Huang Shuai any chance to entangle and crookedly with the cuckoo.
Huang Shuai was a little embarrassed when he said this, theorizing with Tang Hongye was definitely not what he wanted to do, after all, he didn't please him, and he couldn't achieve his goal, from beginning to end, he wanted to do ideological work only Du Juan alone, so after listening to Tang Hongye's words, he just didn't make a sound, and he didn't plan to leave.
"Tang Hongye, this is the roadmap and scope that I just summarized, you can take a look again, is there anything I haven't thought about, let's set off in a while." Du Juan sighed, although she knew very well that she didn't need to explain to Huang Shuai at all, but what she didn't want to see was that Huang Shuai and Tang Hongye made a big red face because of such a thing, she stood up and said to Tang Hongye, "I'll go to the door with Huang Shuai to say a few words, and you will come out when you're almost done, and we'll set off." ”
Tang Hongye looked at Du Juan, and then at Huang Shuai, his gaze stayed on Huang Shuai's face for a little longer, and then he nodded: "That's okay, I'm very fast, don't be too slow." ”
"Okay, don't worry, I've got it." The cuckoo glanced at Huang Shuai, "Let's go, go to the door and talk." ”
Huang Shuai was actually a little surprised, he originally thought that Tang Hongye was obviously already standing up for Du Juan, and Du Juan would ignore him, he even thought about how to find another opportunity to persuade Du Juan, but he didn't expect Du Juan to take the initiative to ask him to talk outside and avoid Tang Hongye.
Isn't that illustrated...... What does Du Juan want to explain and explain to himself, because of Tang Hongye's presence, he will feel that it is not easy to speak? Huang Shuai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, inexplicably a little nervous.
Du Juan walked to the door of the office and stood down on the side of the corridor, she didn't plan to go too far, let alone waste too much talk with Huang Shuai, after all, there was still serious business to do in a while.
"Huang Shuai," she waited for the other party to stand down next to her, and then said to him, the expression on her face when she spoke was extremely solemn, serious, and without a smile, "Whether it was in the original unit in the past, or after arriving in City A, I am very grateful for the help you have always given me." You think to me is a good colleague, may also become a good friend, but even if it is a good colleague or friend, there should still be boundaries, such as some of my personal private matters, if I want you to ask for help, you are willing to help, then I am grateful, if I don't want you to ask for help, I also hope that you respect my privacy and personal space as an adult of sound mind, don't make accusations, say something that is not rational and objective enough. ”
"I'm not not rational and objective enough, I'm from your point of view, for your vital interests," Huang Shuai opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say for the first time, and then after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly refuted Du Juan's words, "I don't want you to do things that are irresponsible to yourself because you are confused." ”
"And what should I do if you say so?" Cuckoo tries to keep his attitude calm.
Huang Shuai saw her asking, thinking that she had listened to her own persuasion, and her mood recovered a little: "Of course, it's good to find another house to rent and live!" Didn't I print out a lot of rental information for you? If you are afraid that the information on it has expired and the house has been rented out, I can help you pay attention to it and collect it for you! All you need to do is tell me what you need, and I'll be sure to find something that satisfies you! ”
"What about this period? Now there is no breakthrough in the case at hand, not only am I tied up by this case, but you are the same, no one has the free time to look for a house to see a house, even if there is time, renting a house is not something that can be solved overnight, and the last experience of renting a house is already a big enough lesson. In the meantime, how are you going to let me solve the accommodation problem? Cuckoo asked.
Huang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "You can settle in the duty room first, or go to the guest house where I live to find a room, it is convenient to have anything that needs my help, this is wise." ”
After listening to him, the cuckoo smiled, and smiled a little helplessly: "So, in order to make you feel appropriate, in order to make you feel wise, I have to give up the option that could have been settled, and while being involved in the case, I have to live in the duty room or in the guest house like a guerrilla?" Is your so-called right choice really for my sake? Or do you simply think that as long as I stay away from Tang Hongye and provide you with a little opportunity to get close to the water, this is enough, as for whether it is inconvenient for me and what my own wishes are, I don't need to think about it at all, and I don't need to be respected? Are you really thinking about me? ”
Huang Shuai was stunned on the spot by Du Juan's questioning, and he couldn't answer for a while, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said to Du Juan: "I see that you deliberately called me out and let Tang Hongye stay inside, and fantasized that you had something to say to avoid him and me, it seems that ...... I'm thinking too much. ”
Cuckoo nodded: "You do think too much. Huang Shuai, I have always respected you, and I also pay attention to proportions when dealing with you, you should be able to feel it, but the respect between people is mutual, I can understand you, respect you, it doesn't mean that you have the right to influence me to make any choices, understand? ”
Huang Shuai's shoulders drooped slightly, his eyelids drooped, his lips pursed, he nodded, and did not speak.
Although he didn't say anything, Du Juan could see that Huang Shuai probably regretted that he shouldn't have said such a thing to himself, but since he had reached such a situation, she felt that she still needed to simply explain her thoughts and positions clearly, and not leave any room for others, so although the other party seemed to be very sad, Du Juan didn't intend to say anything comforting.
She used to think that liking someone was not a humble thing and could not be accepted, but not disrespectful. Now she feels that when a person gets into the horns of the bull and begins to use his unilateral feelings to manipulate the other party's choice, even at the expense of moral kidnapping, then a resolute response is also the best sober medicine for this person.
Huang Shuai was silent for a moment and sighed: "Dujuan, I don't mean anything else, I also know that you should be right to Tang Hongye...... I shouldn't say this, but I still want to remind you that you can advance or retreat slowly, and if you go directly into the interior like this now, there is no way out, I just don't want to see things go in case things are not the same as the direction you expect, not so smooth, and you will be very embarrassed when the time comes......"
"Thank you for your concern, but that's not something you should ask." Du Juan glanced at him, he was actually uncomfortable in his heart, Tang Hongye's recent changes, Du Juan didn't fail to see it, after all, she was not a dull fool, and it was false to say that there was no little joy in her heart, so now that Huang Shuai said this, there was a little displeasure in his crow's mouth, if it wasn't for his efforts to restrain himself, it is estimated that his face would be dark now.
Huang Shuai pulled the corners of his mouth a little embarrassed, squeezed out a smile, nodded to Du Juan, and then was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, as if he had unloaded something intangible.
"I'm sorry, Cuckoo, I shouldn't have said anything like that," he said again, his tone sounding different from before, not emotional, but sincere, "...... I hope we can turn over the incident just now, and the previous ones will also be turned over together, as you said, I hope that I can continue to be your good colleague and good friend, and if there is anything you need me in the future, you can still find me. ”
"Thank you," Cuckoo nodded at him, "I'm still trying not to trouble you." ”
Huang Shuai's eyes, which brightened because of the beginning of Du Juan's response, finally dimmed again after listening to the second half of the sentence, but he didn't say anything more, nodded to Du Juan, and walked away slightly embarrassed.
The cuckoo saw that he was walking away, and then secretly exhaled a breath. In fact, she also knew that her last sentence was a little hurtful, which meant that she didn't even leave the last glimmer of hope to Huang Shuai, so she completely drew a line with him, and it was difficult for the two of them to even get along with each other relaxed for a period of time. Saying such a thing, she was also uncharacteristically ruthless, but she thought that it was the most correct choice for her to do it at the moment, since it was impossible to accept the other party, she should draw a clear line after the other party crossed the line, so that the other party would break all thoughts and let go of the original obsession this morning.
Maybe Huang Shuai will feel sad in a short period of time, feel aggrieved and even resentful of himself, but when he really lets go and regains his energy to find a relationship that is really suitable for him, he will feel fortunate that he did not waste too much time and energy on the previous things.
Du Juan took a deep breath, adjusted her mood and state, and prepared to continue the next work, only to find that Tang Hongye had actually come out, but she saw that she and Huang Shuai had not finished speaking, so they had been standing at the door and did not come over.
The eyes of the two people met, and the cuckoo beckoned to Tang Hongye, and Tang Hongye walked over with a smile on his face, holding a piece of paper with several road names and store names copied on it.
"I've made a slight adjustment to the route you just planned, and we're ready to go now!" Tang Hongye handed the paper in his hand to Du Juan, motioned for her to go downstairs with him, and never mentioned Huang Shuai.
The cuckoo nodded to him, and the two of them went downstairs to get into the car and set off to find Zhu Junhao's whereabouts.
When the car passed by the gate, Du Juan saw Huang Shuai standing in the corner of the courtyard, hanging his head alone, burning this cigarette in his hand, looking a little lonely.
Tang Hongye's eyes are still very keen, how could he not see Huang Shuai's figure, originally he didn't want to say anything, but when he saw Du Juan not only looking over there, but also frowned, he was a little unsteady in his heart, for fear that Huang Shuai would come to a Jedi counterattack at this time with the attitude of "mourning soldiers will win".
So he pretended not to see the other party and asked the cuckoo: "What's the matter?" What to see? ”
"Oh, it's nothing, I saw Huang Shuai smoking in the yard, I've known him for so long, he has never smoked in front of me, I always thought he couldn't smoke, it turned out that he just avoided me when he smoked." Speaking of this, Du Juan's brows furrowed a little more, and she turned her head to look at Tang Hongye, "You tell me the truth, during the time when I was not in front of you, did you also secretly learn to smoke behind my uncle and aunt, but you just hid it from us and didn't let us find out?" ”
Tang Hongye was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but now when he heard her ask, he couldn't hold back on the spot, he laughed out loud, and his heart fell back to his original position, and he suddenly became much more steady.
"Don't worry, my living habits are very good, I have never smoked, I am not greedy for alcohol, insist on exercising, eat healthy, except for work reasons, there is no way to ensure that I go to bed early and get up early, the rest are the ones who perform well!" Tang Hongye replied to Du Juan's question with a smile, "If you don't believe it, if you think about it, whether you are on me or in our house, have you ever smelled smoke?" ”
