16 Hello sir
The lights in the room were dim and soft, so quiet that it seemed that Jian Yao was still alone.
Bo Jinyan was sitting on the sofa reading documents, his side face quiet and focused. Jian Yao poured him a cup of tea, turned around and was about to leave, but he raised his eyes and glanced at the tea, and said, "I don't drink messy things, I change them to plain water." β
Jian Yao looked at the so-called "messy things" in his hand. It was a pot of flower tea, linden flowers and lavender, fragrant, orange and translucent, and it was also her favorite private collection.
He doesn't know the goods.
"Drink water and pour it yourself."
Bo Jinyan looked up at her at this time, but she had already turned her head and left.
Jian Yao cut the dish for a while, and noticed that there had been no movement behind her. When he turned his head to look, he saw that he was holding the cup of tea, looking at the light, his slender brows frowned, and his expression was extremely serious, not losing the time when he cut the corpse.
Jian Yao couldn't help but smile and said, "This is what I found in an old alley, there is a girl who opened a small shop to sell this, and the taste of the materials is better than other stores." β
Bo Jinyan glanced at her and didn't speak.
Jian Yao continued to cook. After a while, she brought the cooked chicken soup to the coffee table, and when she looked up, she saw that the teacup in front of him was empty, and he was still reading the papers.
Jian Yao smiled slightly, turned around to leave, but heard a slight tapping sound.
Looking back, it was Bo Jinyan who stretched out a hand, and his long fingers tapped lightly on the table next to the teacup, looking very indifferent.
What does this mean...... Let her refill the tea?
Jian Yao raised her eyebrows and asked crisply, "It's delicious?" β
Bo Jinyan raised his eyes to look at her, and a shallow smile appeared in his eyes: "Yes, thank you." β
Jian Yao looked at his handsome face, thinking that Fu Ziyu was really right, she also had masochistic tendenciesβBo Jinyan's rare praise actually made her feel flattered.
She poured him another cup without hesitation, and brought the teapot to him.
ββ
For dinner, she originally prepared Dongpo pork, stir-fried lotus root slices, green vegetables and soup. When the rice was served, she left the Dongpo meat directly in the steamer and did not bring it out.
In view of Bo Jinyan's pickiness, when Jian Yao put a bowl of rice in his hand, she had already thought about it - if he said: I don't eat these unpalatable things, she said: I'm sorry you misunderstood, this bowl of rice is also mine, I'll eat two bowls.
However, her thoughts were superfluous, and Bo Jinyan naturally picked up the dishes and chopsticks.
Jian Yao sat down across from him, and neither of them spoke for a while.
Jian Yao watched his chopsticks fall on the lotus root slices first, clamped a piece, ate it with a faint expression, and didn't say anything; Then he took a bite of rice and sandwiched a green vegetable; Spoon out a piece of chicken and place it in a bowl......
"Even if you keep staring at me, these dishes won't get any better." A deep and melodious voice sounded across from her.
Jian Yao raised her head slightly, and saw that his eyes were clear and calm. She was about to reply, but he asked, "What kind of rice is this?" β
The small white porcelain bowl is in the palm of his hand, and the grains of rice are soft and full.
"Thai fragrant rice." Jian Yao replied.
Bo Jin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, Jian Yao knew what he was puzzled about, and explained, "The taste is very good, right?" I once bought more than 20 kinds of fragrant rice for comparison, and finally chose this one. β
ββ
After eating for a while, Jian Yao found that Bo Jin Yan was tall and long-legged, sitting in a low small sofa, leaning forward every time he picked up vegetables. She put down the bowl and took a pillow from the bed for him: "Put it in the back, and it won't be uncomfortable." β
This cushion is also the one she went to several shopping malls and bought the most desirable, the color is elegant and generous, and the texture is flexible and comfortable. Bo Jinyan took it, pinched his long fingers, threw it behind him, glanced at her, and leaned in.
ββ
When Jian Yao was washing the dishes, her mobile phone rang, it was Li Xunran, who had not been in contact for many days, Jian Yao wiped her hands and picked them up.
"What for?" His voice sounded lazy, "Half a day before answering the phone." β
Jian Yao replied with a smile: "Wash the dishes." β
Li Xunran: "Just eat." With whom do you eat it? β
Jian Yao glanced at the man who was sitting on the sofa watching TV: "Bo Jin Yan." β
"Oh? It's nine o'clock and I'm still eating...... You're not going to be better, are you? β
"Where do you want to go?" Jian Yao interrupted him, "I had a supper with you at twelve o'clock at night." What's the matter with me? β
Li Xunran smiled and replied: "The matter of blood numbers has some eyebrows. Provincial experts used new testing techniques to find several new numbers in the original bloodstains. If there is any progress, I will inform you and Professor Bo again. β
Hanging up the phone, Jian Yao relayed Li Xunran's words to Bo Jinyan, he pondered for a moment and nodded.
ββ
After washing the dishes, Jian Yao turned around, but saw Bo Jinyan walking to her bed again, looking at the things on the bed. There was a new mattress she had carefully selected; There is also a snow-white and beautiful silk quilt.
Then he walked over to the side desk, with several beautiful dolls and a paperweight in a clean ink. She found it all with a lot of effort.
In the end, Bo Jinyan stood still in the middle of the house, looked around with a clear gaze, and finally fell on her.
"How many hundred hours did you spend furnishing this room of less than forty square meters?"
Jian Yao poured herself a cup of flower tea, took a sip and replied, "More than a week." She just loves the process and makes her nest more comfortable and doesn't matter if she takes the time.
Bo Jinyan stared at her and didn't speak.
Jian Yao: "What's wrong?" β
He nodded suddenly: "You were right last time. β
"What?"
"I really don't understand women." He was obviously agreeing with what she had said, but his eyes were slightly constricted, and his expression was arrogant, "I think, I will never understand it in my life, why would you, a woman, spend hundreds of hours on this kind of thing?" β
Jian Yao: "...... I have requirements for quality of life! β
ββ
After Bo Jinyan criticized her home style, he finally went home indifferently.
This night, before going to bed, Jian Yao thought that Bo Jinyan had eaten a whole bowl of rice today, and he had eaten most of the dishes, and he had also eaten at least five pieces of chicken.
Very good. It seems that he ate well at this meal.
ββ
Jian Yao didn't expect that the next morning, Bo Jinyan would come again.
The morning light of early spring was clear and mild, and Mr. Bo Jinyan stood by the sunny door, looking more and more tall and fair, with clear eyebrows.
Jian Yao was still wearing plain long-sleeved cotton pajamas, which made her whole person a little lighter. Bo Jinyan's eyes swept over her and said, "You are thinner than I thought." Change your clothes and go out. β
Jian Yao: "What are you doing when you go out?" β
"Buying something."
Until he got into his co-pilot, Jian Yao was still a little incredulous, looking at the purchase order he threw over: "What do you mean - you also want a set of those things in my house?" Flower tea, pillows, quilts, paperweights, and fragrant rice...... Didn't you say you couldn't understand it yesterday? β
"Correct, it's two sets. Fu Ziyu heard about it, and he wanted it too. Bo Jinyan glanced at her and replied lightly, "Don't you think it's a good decision?" You do a lot of tedious, inefficient, menial work, and if you share it with us, it can produce three times the benefit. β
Jian Yao: "Bo Jinyan, did you ask someone for help like this?" β
ββ
Soon Fu Ziyu called again, but unlike Bo Jinyan, he praised Jian Yao and said that he must have a big meal to thank her for her efforts. Jian Yao said that there is no need to treat guests, and knowing how to appreciate her vision is the most important thing.
When she said this, Bo Jinyan sat beside her. When she hung up, he said, "I appreciate your vision and despise your efficiency, which is not contradictory." β
ββ
This afternoon, the two ran almost all over the city. But basically drove to a location, Jian Yao got out of the car to buy it, and Bo Jinyan sat in the car reading a book or taking a notebook to surf the Internet.
Jian Yao asked, "If you don't choose it yourself, why are you here today?" β
Bo Jinyan replied: "Do you think I want to come?" Fu Ziyu has a full day meeting today. β
Jian Yao then had an epiphany - he was forced to be a driver.
But in this process, Jian Yao also found that Bo Jinyan didn't care about money, and directly threw a card to her and asked her to buy it. She gave him the ticket, he was reading a book, and replied softly without raising his head: "What are you giving me this?" Collect 10 tickets to reward a fish? β
Jian Yao had no choice but to put away all the small tickets and go back to Fu Ziyu. She also found that Bo Jinyan was not as picky as she had imagined β his pickiness was targeted, focusing only on the things he cared about, such as cases, corpses, fish, and so on. Otherwise, although he has an arrogant and critical nature, he does not put energy into paying attention at all. For example, when she was choosing a cushion or something else, she called him and asked what color and style she wanted. He always had one answer: just like you, don't ask me again.
ββ
The last stop of the day was to buy a mattress at a mall. This time Bo Jinyan came with him - because sleep is very important to him.
The lighting is bright, the floors are clean, and the whole household area is furnished in a warm and elegant manner. The shopping guide led the two to the mattress that Jian Yao wanted, and introduced with a smile: "This mattress sells very well, and Miss is so knowledgeable." Can you lie down and try it? β
Jian Yao lay down according to her words, Bo Jin Yan stood tall on the side of the bed, and the shopping guide was still introducing him attentively: "...... The mattress is very firm, there is no odor, no matter how you use it, it will not spoil......"
Bo Jin said: "It won't be bad to roll around?" β
Jian Yao on the bed immediately glanced at him, and the shopping guide showed a narrow smile and replied affirmatively: "Don't worry, sir, it won't be bad if you roll around." β
The shopping guide walked away, Bo Jinyan walked to the side of the bed, glanced at Jian Yao, and also lay down.
Feeling the bed next to him sink slightly, Jian Yao turned her head to look at him: "Could it be that you are rolling around on the bed?" β
Bo Jinyan looked at her very indifferently: "Of course not, only 'silence' will roll on my bed." But if this requirement is not met, can it still be considered a good mattress? β
After walking for a day, Jian Yao was also tired and lay on the bed without moving. Bo Jinyan beside him didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't move.
After resting for a while, she was about to get up, when she suddenly felt a shock on the bed, and Bo Jinyan had already propped one hand on her head, sat up, and looked down at her.
This sudden move only made Jian Yao feel her heart skip a beat.
He didn't get up completely, his upper body was leaning on top of her. The soft white light poured down his short hair cheeks, and his eyebrows and eyes became more and more beautiful. In those dark eyes, there was a faint bright smile, and under the straight nose, the thin lips opened lightly: "Jian Yao...... Move in with me. β
Jian Yao, move down and live with me.
A deep, magnetic voice that flows through your ears like heavy water. Jian Yao had never been so close to a man in this posture. Every cell in her body seemed to feel the breath on his body, and then contracted slightly.
A thought popped into her headβit seemed that she had never looked at his face so closely so closely, so closely.
Handsome, arrogant, yet clear face.
Seeing that she was silent, Bo Jinyan continued: "Obviously, we live together and are more efficient. What I'm not interested in, it's what you like and are good at. And I'm more productive......"
"Ahem...... Sir, are you still satisfied with this mattress? The voice of the shopping guide who came in next ~ with a faint smile, probably couldn't stand their ambiguous posture.
Bo Jin Yan didn't look back and said to the shopping guide: "Please don't speak for the time being." Continue to stare at Jian Yao: "Indirectly, you have also generated greater value......
Jian Yao didn't have to think about it, she knew that this was the reason, pushed him away, and got out of bed: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." β
Jian Yao quickly went to settle the bill with the shopping guide, made an appointment to send the mattress to the door, and turned her head to see that Bo Jinyan was standing a few steps away, looking at her thoughtfully.
What is there for him to ponder?
"Let's go." Jian Yao walked into the elevator quickly, her face still a little hot.
The blush at the moment is really meaningless.
Bo Jin Yan followed with long legs and stood beside her.
"Why aren't you interested?" He looked down at her.
Before Jian Yao could answer, the elevator door opened on the next floor. On this floor is the dining area, and a bunch of people poured in. The space instantly became narrow. The people who came in were all young people, and when they saw that the elevator did not call the police, they continued to squeeze in. Bo Jin Yan frowned slightly, took a step back, and stood against the wall, Jian Yao was squeezed a little bit here, and a little more. In the end, a pregnant woman came up, everyone retreated, and Jian Yao was sent away by the crowd, and almost all her body was attached to Bo Jinyan.
The sightseeing elevator slides down layer by layer, and the lights outside the window pass by like flowing water. Jian Yao could feel his arms hanging down beside her, and there was occasionally a slight friction on the back of his hand, I don't know if it was his trousers or his hands. And her face was close to the shirt on his chest, and she could smell a faint cold breath.
Jian Yao wanted to retreat, but there was no space at all, so she could only stand under his tall figure.
And Bo Jinyan looked down at her: "You haven't answered yet-why aren't you interested in living with me?" β
Jian Yao stiffened slightly, and she didn't know if it was her psychological effect, but she felt that there was a sudden silence in the elevator. His voice was low and clear, and there was no doubt that the dozen or so people stuffed in the elevator heard it.
Can he not be so unattended?
Fortunately, they were all adults, and no one spoke up for a while. And Jian Yao was almost in his arms, and he couldn't see other people's expressions. She lowered her voice and replied, "Don't even think about it, I also like to be quiet, and I won't move down." Say no more. β
Bo Jinyan fell silent.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few seconds, he leisurely said above her head, "You made a bad decision." β
Jian Yao froze, and finally a young girl next to her laughed "poof".
ββ
If this is to be replaced by another man, others must think that it is a stalker asking his girlfriend to live together. But Jian Yao knew that when Bo Jinyan asked this, she really felt that it was an "inefficient and wrong" decision that she didn't live with him.
It's just that even though I thought so, when I came home to take a shower this night, looking at Yingying's water, his face automatically appeared in my mind, just above her head, handsome and gentle. This made her feel strange, and she seemed to be a little inexplicably anxious.
When I lay in bed, I was still a little frizzy in my heart. When I was sleeping, my phone rang. It's Li Xunran.
His call at this time made Jian Yao's heart tighten, and he picked up: "What's the matter?" β
Li Xunran seemed to be eating, and his voice was a little vague: "I will inform you as soon as possible, the expert has deciphered the blood number, but it is equivalent to not deciphering it." β
"What do you mean?"
"I've emailed you and Professor Bo, and we'll talk about it later."
ββ
The night was cold, Jian Yao put on a coat and turned on the computer.
Li Xunran's email was written very succinctly, and after the new numbers were added, the original numbers became complete sequences, which were (underscores are new numbers):
β145οΌ297οΌ289οΌ121
162οΌ17οΌ324οΌ1
250οΌ0οΌ484οΌ0
365οΌ88οΌ729οΌ16
421οΌ27οΌ841οΌ1
586οΌ29οΌ1156οΌ1
425οΌ136οΌ729οΌ16β
"It took experts only a few hours to decipher the numbers, which is quite simple. There is a set of numbers hidden in it, and the first column is the sum of squares of two adjacent numbers in this group of numbers; The second column is the square difference; The third column is the square of the sum; The fourth column is the square of the difference...... Sun Yong is playing a numbers game with us. Li Xunran explained.
Jian Yao looked down, and the group of numbers that were finally deciphered was just behind: 8, 9, 9, 13, 14, 15, 19.
This set of numbers may mean anything: isn't it all played out in movies? The page number of a book, an ancient idiom, a coordinates, something. Li Xunran said, "There is no way to check, who knows what Sun Yong fantasizes about." The experts expressed little hope and that their work was almost over. β
Hanging up the phone, Jian Yao still looked at the list of numbers. Li Xunran is right, although this string of numbers seems to hide a mystery, most of them are empty of bamboo baskets. And no matter what Sun Yong wants to hint at, the case has already been closed.
She lay back on the bed, looking sideways at the deep night outside the window, and couldn't help but wonder what these numbers were about.
She took out her phone first and pressed the numbers. The landline number is 8 digits, three more digits, switchboard to extension? She dialed, empty number.
This outcome is almost inevitable.
Morse Code? She didn't understand. Latitude and longitude coordinates? The format is incorrect.
What about the English alphabet? From A to Z, it corresponds from 1 to 26. She took a pen and paper from the bedside and replaced them with English letters. But I also know in my heart, how can the password be so simple? Even she can decipher?
The translated letters are: H, I, I, M, N, O, S. It doesn't make any sense.
What if we combined them in a different order?
HIοΌMINοΌSOοΌ
HONοΌS/MοΌIIοΌ
β¦β¦
Let's wait for Bo Jinyan to take a look tomorrow. Jian Yao put down the pen and paper, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
It's just that Bo Jinyan's face appears in his mind again, with slender eyebrows, high nose and thin lips, handsome and sharp, but he will also have a faint smile, and that smile is either sarcastic, or arrogant, or pleasant......
She suddenly opened her eyes again, her gaze falling back on the letters, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from her back.
Bo Jin Yan, Bo Jin Yan.
These letters, there is also a meaningful combination of words -
Hi, Simon.
