Under the gaze of several people, Erin shrugged her shoulders.

"Right after Hank took me in."

She unconsciously scraped the knife and fork in the plate, and sighed, "I was just fifteen years old at that time, and I didn't know what I was going to do, it was Hank who influenced me." ”

"So."

Lexi's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Your goal in college is to become a police officer?" ”

"It's not."

Erin was a little embarrassed: "I barely graduated from high school. ”

"But I worked as a patrol officer in the West End for four years, and now that I think about it, that experience can actually be used as my college education."

At this, she had a hint of pride on her face.

Through my dedication, I have now succeeded in becoming a police detective, which is indeed something to be proud of.

She didn't notice, though.

Next to him, Olinsky was already holding his forehead, looking speechless.

"That's right."

Lexie nodded again and again, looking at her father meaningfully: "So, life experience is as important as school education, and Detective Lindsay fully proves this." ”

Olinsky's face was draped, and his eyes turned to Erin in a daze.

Next to him, Ethan also covered his face.

Shoulders shook slightly.

“NO、NO、NO！”

Erin reacted immediately, and she hurriedly explained, "I mean, if I could do it again, I would definitely choose to go to college." ”

"Please."

Lexi interrupted her with a wave of her hand and said with a grin, "But didn't you prove it with your own experience just now?" ”

"Even if you don't have that diploma, you can still make a career."

These few words left Erin speechless.

She had already said it just now, and she couldn't refute herself, so she hurriedly threw a pitiful look at Ethan for help, otherwise she couldn't bear Orlinsky's anger.

"Ahem."

Ethan coughed heavily, drawing away the fire that had gathered on Erin.

"Lexi."

He tapped the plate in front of him with a fork to attract the other's attention: "First of all, I admire your decision, it is a very brave act, especially considering the danger involved. ”

"You know, I've dealt with a case before."

"Damn, can you believe it?"

He spread his hands and said with a sad expression: "That butcher specifically targeted the girls who were traveling, dragged them to the slaughterhouse and dismembered them, and didn't even have a chance to ask for help. ”

"The only thing parents can do is pray to God that their children are simply missing, perhaps living on a small ranch."

"No, a dark, icy cold storage."

Hearing this, Olinsky nodded repeatedly.

He looked at Ethan appreciatively, that was what he was trying to achieve.

Lexi, on the other hand, was frightened by Ethan's description, and quickly raised her glass and drank a large sip of orange juice.

"And."

Ethan had a serious expression and looked at Lexi fixedly:

"I think you just misunderstood what Detective Lindsay meant, if she had the opportunity, she would definitely not go back to that path, get a good education, she wouldn't have to waste those four years."

"Trust me, for the average person."

He nodded slowly: "Receiving an education is the best and most convenient way to improve yourself, and it will make you a better person." ”

"Look at me."

After a pause, Ethan began to preach: "Everything I own, mansions, sports cars, yachts. ”

"And, of course, my deposit."

"All of this is based on the good education I have received, and through my own hard work, diligence and serious work, I have come back single-handedly."

With some impassionedness, a few people here were calmed.

Stars appeared in Erin's eyes, and she looked at the handsome man opposite her with adoration, and couldn't help but take a sip of orange juice.

"But."

Lexi's eyes lit up when she looked at Ethan, but she still struggled to ask:

"Is life supposed to be big houses, sports cars and yachts?"

"Shouldn't being a human being be happy?"

It's asking Ethan, and it's like asking himself.

Lexi's eyes became firm, and he continued in his mouth: "There is nothing wrong with ordinary life, as long as you are healthy and get what you want, this may not be a kind of happiness." ”

Unexpectedly, she could say these words.

Albeit somewhat naïve.

But it doesn't make sense, living a less utilitarian life is also a free mentality.

Of course, Ethan admits to being a layman.

This kind of realm cannot be reached by oneself.

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say more, it was a matter of personal philosophy.

"I see."

Lexi grabbed his phone angrily and looked at his father dissatisfied: "Daddy, did you specifically call the two of them over, just to dispel the idea of me traveling with the band." ”

"Hey, why do you say that?"

Olinsky spread his hands in confusion: "I don't know what you're talking about, it's just a few of us chatting." ”

Looks very innocent.

"Okay."

Lexi exhaled heavily, shook her head and said, "Thank you, I know you are for my good, but this is my life, and that path needs me to walk alone." ”

"I'm going to class, you guys use it slowly."

Without waiting for a few people to reply, she threw her backpack onto her.

He smiled and kissed Olinsky again, and staggered outside.

"Erwin."

Seeing Lexi walk out of the restaurant, Erin shook her head helplessly: "It's not me who hit you, I don't think Lexi is interested in being a policeman at all, you don't have to think about letting her inherit your career." ”

"It's not because of this."

Olinsky irritated and grabbed the duckbill: "Didn't you hear what she was just saying?" ”

"Bands, tours, road trips."

"Damn, you all know what's going to happen."

"Please."

Erin spread her hands, shook her head and smiled: "She's just a prospective college student, what can you expect her to do, this kind of thing is already full of temptation for girls of this age." ”

"Nope."

Olinski picked up the waffle and took a vicious bite: "That bastard boyfriend, I have to investigate his background." ”

"Don't."

The female detective slapped her forehead helplessly: "You are overprotective, damn it, you are just like Hank." ”

"Trust me, you're going to have a big fight."

"I'm for it."

Ethan shoved the omelette into his mouth and mumbled, "It's definitely not a good idea to tour in the band, as long as Mr. Elvis has a little bit of a record of violations, we're going to get that guy back." ”

"By the way, I can find flour."

"That's enough for him to squat for a few months, and that's all over."

Hearing Ethan's words, Olinsky was moved.

"Bastard."

Erin rolled her eyes and reluctantly persuaded: "You two are bastards, if you want Lexi to ignore you for the rest of your life, Erwin, you can do it." ”

These two guys are absolutely capable of doing this kind of thing. (End of chapter)
