Chapter 22: Night Terror
At this meal, Li Ji ate like pins and needles.
Throughout the night, he felt like a peacock in a zoo with the screen open, and was looked at by Han Mei's parents and aunt, asking this and that.
Han Mei's mother was even more back and forth, left and right, up and down, and kept secretly looking at Li Ji. The more she looked at her face, the happier she became, and from time to time she turned sideways and whispered a word or two to Han Mei's father.
"Well, it's still our Meimei who has a vision," Aunt Han Mei nodded again and again, showing a satisfied expression, "It's strange that I have to let my aunt worry about it." ”
"Auntie, how can I be?" Han Mei hugged her aunt's arm with both hands, swaying back and forth, and deliberately threw flattering glances at Li Ji.
Li Ji only felt that his face was red and his ears were hot, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"It's all department leaders, and you can't erase it like this? Like a big girl. Han Mei's mother smiled and sandwiched a piece of braised pork on Li Ji's plate.
It was easy for Li Ji to calm down.
But after this meal, I still broke out in a hot sweat, and the shirt on my chest was wet. Han Mei's father deliberately took out the thirty-year-old Moutai, and Li Ji didn't drink any taste.
Han Mei's mother didn't drink, Han Mei and her aunt drank wine.
Aunt Han Mei is from the Provincial People's Bank Office, and the amount of alcohol is very good.
Li Ji is a junior, and it is the first time he has come to the door as a future son-in-law; Although it is an impostor, it can't be too unpresentable. So, he drank and saluted, and soon his head was dizzy.
After eating, Han Mei went to clean up the table. Li Ji wanted to help, but was stopped by Han Mei's mother: "Let Meimei clean up alone." Xiao Li, sit down, let's talk. ”
Han Mei snatched the chopsticks in Li Ji's hand and glanced at him: "You go and sit, I'll come!" ”
Li Ji had no choice but to sit down on the sofa. Rubbing his hands together, he didn't know where to look, but he felt that there were countless small insects crawling around on his body.
"Xiao Li, eat fruit." Aunt Han Mei picked up a peeled apple and handed it to Li Ji.
"Look at your child, you're still alive," Han Mei's mother said, but her eyes were full of love, "When I come here in the future, I will treat it as my own home." ”
"yes, okay." Li Ji shook his head, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly nodded, his face became even hotter.
"Well, it's good, it's good," Han Mei's father leaned back on the sofa and picked his teeth with a toothpick, "The young one is the department leader." I'm your age, and I'm still working as a loan officer in the country. ”
"Brother, can our Meimei's vision be worse?" Aunt Han Mei smiled.
Li Ji hurriedly lowered his eyes, thinking in his heart: It's bad, this joke is too big.
"Governor Huang of your provincial bank is a classmate of my banking school," Han Mei's father spat into the trash can under the table, "The number one leader of the city bank is President Ye, right?" It doesn't seem to have been around for long. ”
"Yes, it's President Ye." Li Ji bowed forward, "His senior management qualifications were only approved by the CBRC last month. ”
President Ye's name is Ye Xin, who was originally the director of the credit department of the provincial bank, in his fifties, and was only sent to the Fengcheng branch two months ago.
As soon as she drank a few sips of tea, Han Mei's mother began to check the household registration of the police, and questioned Li Ji all over again. That posture, I can't wait to set out three generations of his ancestors.
Li Ji couldn't sit still anymore.
Just when Han Mei came out of the kitchen, he hurriedly stood up and glanced at Han Mei: "Han Mei, there is still something to do in the unit, I have to go back first." ”
"What else could be going on this big night?" Han Mei's mother said angrily.
Han Mei looked at Li Ji and smiled evilly. Seeing Li Ji's embarrassed face, he couldn't help but wink at her secretly, and then stopped laughing: "Mom, Li Ji is really in trouble, let him go." ”
"Okay then." Han Mei's mother looked at her daughter and nodded at Li Ji reluctantly, "Xiao Li, I will often come to play when I have time in the future." ”
"Okay, okay." Li Jiru was amnestied, hurriedly took his briefcase, and turned around to leave.
"Meimei, if you send Xiao Li, we won't go down!"
Li Ji walked out of the house and heard Aunt Han Mei shouting in the house.
Han Mei caught up, grabbed Li Ji's arm, and pressed her body tightly against Li Ji, and the two walked down the stairs step by step.
Han Mei's face was flushed, and the faint smell of wine combined with the girl's body fragrance rushed to her nose, Li Ji, who was already a little drunk, was a little distracted, and involuntarily wrapped one hand around Han Mei's waist.
Han Mei's face came up, and a heavy snort hit Li Ji's cheek. Li Ji's heart fluttered, and his lips couldn't help but meet him.
Han Mei groaned, her soft lips opened slightly, and the tip of her tongue gently spit out. Li Ji's face was hot and dizzy for a while, and somewhere under him also rose.
"Meow! Meow! ”
A big black cat suddenly came out of the corridor, startling the two of them. Li Ji hurriedly let go of his hand, but the black cat flashed in front of his eyes, and he disappeared in an instant.
Li Ji was a little embarrassed, and patted his head vigorously with his hand: "Hey, hey, I drank too much, drank too much." ”
The lights in the corridor were dim, but Li Ji still felt Han Mei's flushed and hot face. Her eyes were shining, and Li Ji was a little confused for a while.
"Brother Ji, do you really dislike me?"
In the blurry and dim light and shadow, Han Mei's voice seemed to be resentful.
"No, it's not ......" Li Ji panicked, not knowing how to answer, "I, I should go back....."
With that, Li Ji walked a few steps quickly and walked out of the stairs.
"Wait, what are you anxious about!" Han Mei screamed, caught up from behind, and grabbed Li Ji's arm.
"Don't ...... Don't ....." Li Ji stammered, distraught, and hurriedly shook his hand, "Han Mei, let's, it's not good for people to see it." ”
Han Mei grabbed it tighter, and her mouth came to Li Ji's ear: "Idiot, just let people see ......"
"Just to be seen?!" Li Ji's eyes were full of question marks.
"Yes," Han Mei leaned back again, "they're watching from the balcony." ”
Li Ji leaned over and secretly glanced upstairs. Sure enough, I saw two blurred figures on the balcony on the third floor.
He took a breath and straightened up. So, the two hugged each other tightly and walked out of the courtyard.
The night was dark and the alleys were empty.
Not far away, there was a dim electric light in front of a small store.
In the shadow of the trees at the entrance of the alley, Li Ji stopped. Looking back, the balcony was long gone.
Han Mei's hand was still tightly gripping Li Ji's arm. "Miss Han, let go." Li Ji smiled and gently pulled his arm out of Han Mei's arms.
"Who is rare, like a stinky pig's trotters." Han Mei blushed and hurriedly let go.
"Miss Han, this time you and I are clear." Li Ji clapped his hands and laughed twice, "I repaid your love last time, and you still owe me a big meal." ”
"Well, I knew you would say that!" Han Mei's eyes widened, and she was vicious, "Don't worry, Miss Ben has always been a man of words." It's not like someone ......."
"That's good, that's good." Li Ji didn't want to provoke Han Mei anymore, so he hurriedly waved his hand, "Then I'll go, you can go back too." ”
A taxi happened to pass by the alleyway.
Li Ji beckoned, and the taxi squeaked and stopped in front of him.
Li Jifei quickly got into the car, rolled down the window, waved at Han Mei, who was still standing under the tree, and shouted: "Han Mei, go back!" ”
Han Mei ran over from the shadow of the tree, and Li Ji hurriedly asked the driver to wait.
Han Mei held on to the car window and leaned half of her body up.
The smell of wine rushed on Li Ji's face, and Han Mei's chin was about to be pressed against Li Ji's forehead. Li Ji hurriedly leaned back.
"Hmph, it looks like I'm really a tiger." Han Mei's smile is like a flower, and her breath is like an orchid.
For a while, Li Ji was a little unsettled.
The driver peeked in the rearview mirror. Li Ji's eyes were flustered, and he was embarrassed, he cleared his throat: "For, thank my uncle and aunt for me, I trouble them." ”
"Humph!" Han Mei pinched her nose and made a look like Zhu Bajie, "Stinky pig, don't you thank me?" ”
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Li Ji looked suspicious.
Auntie, you should thank me.
"Hahaha, stupid!" Han Mei smiled, suddenly stretched out her mouth and kissed Li Ji on the face, raised her body, and let go of her hand, "Get out, stinky pig!" ”
Li Ji touched his hot lips and was stunned for a moment.
Han Mei kicked the stones on the road, jumping step by step, humming in her mouth, and didn't look back.
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror, shook his hand vigorously, and started the car.
The car drove very fast, and the whirring cool breeze blew all over his head, and Li Ji's mind was much clearer.
He was suddenly a little afraid.
Fortunately, Fang Cai did not make any more mistakes.
Otherwise, if you do something, how can you be worthy of Liao Ying. There are also Han Mei's parents and aunt, how can they have the face to see them again in the future.
Li Ji's heart gradually calmed down. He made a phone call to Liao Ying in the car, leaned on the back of the seat, and was about to fall asleep in a daze.
"Teacher, you've arrived!"
With a "squeak" of the brakes, Li Ji suddenly realized that the car had stopped.
It is the habit of Fengcheng people to call strangers "teachers", regardless of whether you are a teacher or not. So, walking on Fengcheng Street, when someone calls you "teacher", don't think that the other party is mistaken, really think that you are a teacher.
Li Ji raised his body, rubbed his eyes, and looked out, there was still some distance away from the CCB compound.
"Master, how do you park here?"
"The road is being built ahead, and the car can't drive in."
The driver pointed to the mound of dirt and the obstacle signs not far away.
"Well, okay."
Li Ji paid the money, opened the door and got out of the car. As soon as the driver stepped on the accelerator, the taxi quickly disappeared.
The night was already a little cool, it was only past nine o'clock, and the streets were already sparsely populated.
Li Ji crossed the street and turned into a small alley.
It's a shortcut. Walking to the end of the alley, there is the back door of the CCB compound.
The street lights were dim, and the light on the road was blurry. The surroundings are quiet, the small shops on both sides have long been closed, there are no lights, and the alleys seem very empty.
As soon as Li Ji entered the alley, he suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps behind him. He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked behind him. I saw that more than ten meters away, two black shadows were approaching this side.
Li Ji didn't care. I thought, it's so late, and there are still people on the street. He turned around and continued walking.
The footsteps suddenly became urgent, and soon reached behind Li Ji. Li Ji couldn't help but be suspicious, stopped, and turned around.
They were two tall men.
It's a late summer night, but it's still a little hot. The two men wore dark hoodies with hats over their heads and the brim hanging down, covering most of their faces.
They stood quietly in front of Li Ji. In the darkness, only four thieves' bright eyes were seen, staring at Li Ji tightly.
"What are you going to do?"
Li Ji was slightly flustered, and unconsciously looked around.
"Are you Li Ji?"
One of the men took two steps forward and asked in a gruff voice.
"I am," Li Ji stepped back, "who are you?" ”
"It's good if you're Li Ji, don't care who we are!"
The man snorted and jerked forward, jamming Li Ji's neck. The other person also rushed up and punched Li Ji in the lower abdomen.
Li Ji was caught off guard, only to feel pain under his ribs, and he could barely breathe in an instant.
A hand reached over and covered Li Ji's mouth. One on each side, the two of them took Li Ji's two arms, dragged them out, and went out of the alley.
Li Ji's heart was pounding, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
Wine, long since I woke up.
At the back, there is a small street park. Except for a few stone benches, there are four or five willow trees and some flowers and plants.
The two dragged Li Ji into the shadows, punched and kicked violently.
Li Ji struggled desperately and wanted to shout for help. But his mouth was tightly gagged, and he could say half a sentence.
I don't know which person took off the hoodie and covered Li Ji's head. Immediately after, a raindrop of fists landed on Li Ji's body, head, and face.
Li Ji's whole body was like a soldering iron, and it hurt hotly.
Suddenly, a heavy punch slammed into the temple.
Li Ji was dizzy for a while, and for a moment, he lost consciousness.
