Chapter 21: More than 20 Years Like a Dream (2)
In the Guzi Restaurant, Ji Qi, Xi Xiaodi, Su Qitian, and Gu asked for a position by the window.
"Xiaodi, this is the valley, my colleague," Ji Kai introduced to Xi Xiaodi, after all, Xi Xiaodi's forensic doctor studied one year longer than Ji Kai's and them, and he rarely came out to have dinner with them.
"Hello!" Gu smiled politely at Xi Xiaodi.
Xi Xiaodi also smiled politely, "Xi Xiaodi." ”
In fact, without waiting for Ji Kai's introduction, Xi Xiaodi had already noticed the good-looking and talented man in front of him. I always feel that he is different from others.
"Have you been busy with schoolwork lately?" Ji Qi asked without a sentence while digging ice cream.
"It's okay, it's... Soaking in the smell of formalin every day, my head is about to explode. When Xi Xiaodi talked about formalin, he specially pronounced it heavier, wanting to disgust Ji Qi, but Ji Qi seemed unmoved.
Xi Xiaodi took a closer look, the ice cream in front of Ji Qi had been mashed, and her brain had long flown to where she was, and she was not listening to her at all.
"Hey~" Xi Xiaodi poked Ji Qi, "What do you want?" ”
Although Xi Xiaodi asked, he also guessed that nine times out of ten it was related to Mo Dye, who had just returned to China.
"The captain recently took on a case! I'm thinking about how to use the 'beauty trick'! Without waiting for Ji Qi to answer, Gu Gu answered first.
"Beauty tricks?" Su Qitian, who was quietly enjoying the night view outside the window, suddenly screamed anxiously, staring at the valley with his eyes, "Make it clear." ”
"It's not the president of the Hemu Group, who is not willing to cooperate with the police investigation, so he can only make this decision~ Fortunately, our captain is naturally beautiful, I think this trick may be useful!" Valley explained with a smile.
"I disagree!"
"I disagree!"
Xi Xiaodi and Su Qitian roared out almost at the same time.
The valley suddenly covered his seat, staring blankly at the three people staring at each other in front of him. Obviously, Xi Xiaodi and Su Qitian don't know Mo Ran, not to mention that the director has no objection to Ji Qi's method. Are you worried about Ji Qi's safety? It's not right, the captain is capable, can fight and run, and is witty, but he won't encounter any danger in Mo Ran, not to mention that Mo Ran looks like a decent gentleman.
The more Gu thought about it, the more incomprehensible it became, and even the ridiculous idea that Xi Xiaodi and Su Qitian had a crush on the captain came out.
Ji Qi quietly gave Xi Xiaodi and Su Qi Angel a look, indicating that they didn't know about the matter between her and Mo Ran.
"That..."Xi Xiaodi put away his dissatisfied expression, "Ji Qi, I don't think this method is feasible." ”
"I think so." Su Qitian hurriedly seconded the proposal.
"I know what you're worried about," Ji Qi looked at the two of them intently, with the composure and persistence that he should have as the captain of the reconnaissance team in his eyebrows, "I've made up my mind." ”
"Ji Qi! Could it be you—" Xi Xiaodi just wanted to complain but glanced at Gu Gu's confused face, so he had to swallow the words to his lips again, "Have you really thought it through?" ”
"I'm not a kid anymore."
"You ......" Su Qi Angel rubbed his hair vigorously, "why are you so willful." ”
"I'm just doing my job, you don't have to be so nervous."
"Yes~" Gu quickly answered, "The captain can be civil and martial, besides, I will follow the captain from time to time, you don't have to worry so much." ”
"You go back and think about it," Su Qitian got up and walked out of the restaurant. At this moment, his heart ached like a pinprick. He guarded her for four years. But he knew that she had waited for him for four years.
The so-called hatred is just Ji Kai's self-deception, or maybe she made up a lie to deceive him.
"Valley, I'll send Xiaodi back to school first," Ji Qi was also a little weak, she also understood Su Qitian's anger very well, in fact, if it was her own sober moment, I am afraid that she would blame herself.
"Ji Qi, haven't you let go of Mo Dye yet?" Xi Xiaodi sat in the co-pilot and looked at Ji Qi, who was concentrating on driving.
The speed of the car seemed to slow down in that second, and Ji Qi's hand holding the steering wheel tightened, "I only hate him, let alone let it go." ”
"You just have a tendon, just like Su Qitian, and you don't want to let go if you recognize it," Xi Xiaodi sighed, "You said, you've been single for so many years, aren't you just waiting for Mo Ran?" ”
"Haven't you been single for so many years?" Ji Qi smiled, his brows relaxed slightly, "I'm just waiting for the right person to appear, just like you." ”
"Even Su Qitian you refused, who else is the right person for you?"
"......." Ji Qi didn't know what to say. In fact, she knows very well in her heart, where is she waiting for the right person? Over the years, she has been in a state of confusion and has not even had a basic goal. However, after Mo Ran appeared, she suddenly wanted to find out the unsolved case four years ago. She has also been comforting herself that she is an eyewitness to that case, and she has the responsibility to let the truth of this case come to light and end perfectly.
However, it is only for comfort.
"I know that the decision you made will not be changed easily," Xi Xiaodi held Ji Qi's right hand, "If your heart is cold this time, give up completely." ”
A wry smile rose at the corner of Ji Qi's mouth. This friend didn't make friends in vain, but saw through his thoughts. Although this operation, Ji Qi is mainly focused on the case, and there is only a moment of thought about Mo Ran.
At least, there were, and this is undeniable.
OOOOOO
Mo Ran strode into the coffee house that he frequented in the morning.
It's just that this time it was a bit of a surprise.
Because he actually saw Officer Ji who was constantly tracking him here.
Ji Qi in front of him, wearing a white dress and his hair scattered, was sitting lazily by the window, sipping the steaming coffee in his hand.
Ever since he stepped into the store, Mo Ran couldn't help but look at the quiet fairy who seemed to have come out of a fairy tale not far away, but the fairy, from beginning to end, never looked at him.
For several days in a row, Mo Ran would see Ji Qi at a specific location in the coffee shop every day.
Ji Qi will dress up a little every day. After all, she knew, he was quietly watching her.
Obviously, her purpose was achieved.
Mo Ran originally only came to drink coffee twice a week, and since he met Ji Ji here, he has been visiting every day.
However, Ji Qi always felt that the coffee in his mouth was getting bitterer and bitterer day by day. Maybe it's bitter in my heart... Ji Qi laughed to himself... He's still as flamboyant as she'd known him when she was younger...
From beginning to end, Ji Qi was reluctant to look up at him, even though she knew that he was looking at her.
Since it is a "beauty plan", Ji Qi swallowed cup after cup of bitter coffee, determined to have fun with this negative man.
Mo Ran sat in the distance, took a sip of black coffee, and the corner of his eyes looked at Ji Ji with a hint of bitterness, I don't know if it was because the coffee was too bitter, and the corners of his mouth were a trace of bitterness. She was too much like the girl he had dreamed of for four years, but his instincts told him that she wasn't that girl. The girl in the dream is gentle and innocent, like a bubble floating in the sun, beautiful and fragile; The girl in front of her was sharp, cold, and more like a thorny rose, gorgeous and dangerous.
However, no matter how much she admonished herself, Mo Ran still sat here on time every day, just to watch her quietly.
On July 5th, Ji Qi finished his work at hand, and took advantage of the end of work to slowly walk to Qingfang School, a place full of memories with too many good or bad things.
At this time of year, Ji Qi will come over.
Just once, even though the school wasn't that far from where she worked.
Maybe it's because I'm too busy at work, or maybe it's ......
Ji Qi looked up at the maple trees growing on both sides of the road.
The dim light sprinkled on the ground, and the rustling of maple leaves on the dusky asphalt road resembled a few ink strokes on dusty papyrus.
Ji Qi pulled the black curls that were blown away by the wind, and closed his eyes with some enjoyment.
She just stood under the tree, her eyes closed, and she sniffed the familiarity. Before he could take a few breaths, the little pictures of him walking on this road poured out like sea water.
Ji Qi covered his chest and felt a little difficult to breathe.
The moment he opened his eyes, a trace of panic and disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Mo was wearing a straight suit, standing under the tree opposite her, leaning against the lamppole, although separated by an asphalt road, Ji Qi could also feel that his cold eyes were staring at him.
If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were too stinging, Ji Qi would probably think that he was hallucinating.
Ji Qi withdrew his eyes to look at Mo Ran, and quietly walked towards the school gate. She was surprised, after all, this time, she didn't go out of her way to get close to him.
It would have been a coincidence if he hadn't approached her in particular.
Ji Qi didn't plan to say anything more to him in this environment, although she didn't look back, she knew that he was silently following behind her.
Ji Qi slowly lowered her pace, and the figure on the ground behind her also paused.
"What, Mr. Mo?" Ji Qi finally stopped, feeling ridiculous.
Mo Ran didn't seem to expect her to turn around and talk to him, and there wasn't even a hint of surprise in her eyes. Mo Ran paced, walked straight to Ji Qi, and his eyes once again saw Ji Qi deeply, "So, we have always known each other?" ”
The dim light was imprinted on Ji Qi's face, and at this moment, she saw him clearly. If she didn't know enough about the man in front of her, I'm afraid she would be tempted again. Or, if you were any other girl, you would be bruised by the seductive man in front of you.
"What is Mr. Mo talking about?" Ji Qi looked at him indifferently, without a trace of waves in his eyes.
"You're still going to lie to me?" Mo Ran took another step closer and stared straight at Ji Qi. Seems rather dissatisfied with her calmness.
Ji Qi was still unmoved, and only smiled, "What kind of lie am I telling?" I'm a good scout, but I don't know how to read minds. Please also ask Mr. Mo to make his words clear. ”
Mo Ran's sharp face happened to be covered by the shadow of a maple leaf, and it became more and more gloomy in the dim light.
"Why did Officer Ji come to the asphalt school, isn't it a student here?" After a moment, Mo Ran lowered his voice and asked.
"So that's the case~" Ji Qi smiled slightly, "I did graduate from this school." Don't you say I really forgot, last time I heard the valley say that you also graduated from this school~ strange, why don't I have any impression of you at all? Ji Qi pretended to think after speaking.
Mo Ran stepped back, and the shadow of the maple leaf that had previously covered his face also fell to the ground, and the dim light illuminated his cold face slightly.
Only then did Ji Qi realize that he had such a lost expression on his face at this moment.
In the face of his loss, Ji Ji really didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
A cyan maple leaf suddenly slid in front of Ji Qi's eyes, and she was suddenly startled.
Don't repeat the mistakes of the past, now is the perfect time to get close to him.
"Since we're alumni, why don't we walk together?" Ji Qi's clear eyes looked at him.
Mo Ran's lost face lifted, and he looked at the smiling girl in front of him in surprise.
"Okay."
