Fire Captain

Chapter 52 Ode to Joy 08

When Bai Ziyang and Fan Shengmei were walking home arm in arm, they saw Andy standing at the door, bending over and doing something. Fan Shengmei opened the door and said casually, "It's time to get off work!"

Andy looked up and then lowered his head without saying anything. Fan Shengmei didn't mind. They went in and heard a knock on the door. Fan Shengmei opened the door and saw that it was Andy. She couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

Andy said sheepishly, "Um...can you lend me your phone? My lock is broken and I need to call 911 to ask the firefighters to help me open it."

Fan Shengmei laughed and said, "This is China. There is no 911, only 119!"

Andy also responded with a self-deprecating smile.

Fan Shengmei said, "No, your lock is broken, so why call them? I can open it for you in five minutes!"

Andy was a little surprised and asked, "You can open locks? Are you a... lock repairman?"

Fan Shengmei walked to Andy's door and said, "Of course not... It's an electronic lock... It's a high-end one!"

Andy said, "So we still need to hire the firefighters, right?"

Fan Shengmei squatted down and said with a nonchalant expression: "Hey, no need..." Then she turned around and shouted: "Zi Yang, bring me my computer!"

Bai Ziyang opened the door and replied, "I know!" As he handed Fan Shengmei her notebook, he asked, "What's going on?"

Fan Shengmei turned on the computer and said, "The door lock of Andy's house is broken. I'll crack it open!"

Bai Ziyang took a look and suddenly said, "Electronic lock!"

Fan Shengmei lowered her head and was about to connect the computer, and answered casually: "...Yes..."

Bai Ziyang suddenly asked: "Is the battery out?"

Fan Shengmei's busy movements suddenly seemed to be paused. She looked at Andy and said, "Oh my god... why didn't I think of this earlier..." Then she closed the notebook and handed it back to Bai Ziyang, saying, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where's my charger?"

Andy said, "This should be the battery being changed inside!"

Fan Shengmei said: "No, there is an external jack here!"

It turned out to be a minor problem of no electricity. The door lock could be opened after plugging in the power. Andy and Fan Shengmei smiled at each other, and Andy said, "To thank you, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Fan Shengmei happily said, "Okay!"

Andy pointed at Fan Shengmei's room and said, "Then..."

Fan Shengmei understood and said, "This is a women's show. Let him eat himself at home!"

After that, the two of them went home, grabbed a bag and went out, leaving Bai Ziyang with his hand stretched out behind him... Fan Shengmei turned around, gave him a kiss and said, "Bye..." Bai Ziyang touched his cheek. Why did this kiss always have a discounted and cheap feeling?

When Fan Shengmei saw Andy's sports car, she exclaimed, "How cool!" Then she said bluntly, "Come on, I'll drive!"

Andy didn't mind throwing the key over and said, "Okay!"

Of course Fan Shengmei has driven a car before. Not only cars, but also planes and tanks. But she has never driven a sports car like this. To her, such a sports car is like a toy. She accelerated, overtook, and maneuvered with ease within the scope permitted by traffic regulations. She was so charming.

Andy, who was in the same car, couldn't help but say: "I am more and more curious about your work now. I feel that you are really amazing... Nothing can be difficult for you!"

Fan Shengmei threw the keys back to the car and said with a smile: "Curious, right? You'll know soon!" The main thing is that she will have to go to work in a few days.

The meal brought the two closer together, but they didn't expect that after returning home, Qu Xiaoxiao would block them at the door.

Qu Xiaoxiao was standing at the door of Andy's house holding a large basket of fruits and other gifts. When she saw Andy, she said pitifully, "Andy, I've been waiting for you all night. I don't have your cell phone number so I can only wait at the door. Sister Fan is also here... Then it's just right for you to come quickly, please come and be a witness for me..."

Fan Shengmei understood it at a glance. She knew Qu Xiaoxiao was a person who would not do anything without profit. It was obvious that she was asking for help from others. It was just that Andy came from a foreign country and did not understand the conditions in China.

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "Andy, I was just guessing when I said you were Mr. Tan's mistress last time. Please don't mind it. I heard from my friends that you are a master hired by Mr. Tan. You are not someone that can be hired with ordinary salary, let alone a car and a house. So... I apologize to you and hope you can forgive me!"

Fan Shengmei looked at Andy with a smile, and Andy nodded and said, "Okay!" After that, he thought it was done and prepared to leave.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked confused and didn't play by the rules... She hurriedly said, "That's it?"

Andy asked blankly, "What else can I do?"

Qu Xiaoxiao quickly rushed to Andy and said, "If that's the case, you must help me with something!"

Taking advantage of Andy's soft heart, Qu Xiaoxiao was about to drag Andy to her home. When she passed by Fan Shengmei and was about to speak, Fan Shengmei quickly took two steps back and said, "No, you can't, you don't understand, don't come to me!" She shook her hands and ran back to her home.

Bai Ziyang didn't know what he was busy with. He looked up at Fan Shengmei and said, "You're back!"

While changing her clothes, Fan Shengmei said, "Andy is really cute... I really like her more and more..."

Bai Ziyang said, "Aren't you afraid of scaring her? You came here and cracked her home password! From the way she locked the password to her camera and treated others, it's clear that she's the type who's very wary and has a low sense of security!"

Fan Shengmei changed her clothes and lay down beside Bai Ziyang and said, "Oh, not really, she wouldn't think that way."

Andy really didn't think of this. She actually had a good impression of Fan Shengmei. Maybe Fan Shengmei gave her a sense of...security...When she talked about this with her old friend and current boss Tan Zongming, Tan Zongming thought a little more than she did and said, "I know about your electronic lock. Someone actually said that they can unlock it? Who is that person?"

Andy thought for a moment and said, "My neighbor, I like her quite a lot. She's a very interesting person."

Tan Zongming took note of it and planned to have someone check it out in private when he had time.

The next day, Fan Shengmei and Bai Ziyang were sleeping in the room when they heard a knock on the door. Fan Shengmei opened the door sleepily and saw that it was Andy.

Andy held up a box and said, "My friend gave me some hairy crabs. I think only your Mr. White can cook them!"

When Fan Shengmei heard this, the hairy crab opened his eyes immediately, and all the sleepiness had long gone. He took over and said, "No problem, come in."

Andy smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the house and put my things down, and come over later."

Andy went back to her room to change clothes. When she came to Fan Shengmei's house with her computer, Bai Ziyang had already started to prepare the crabs. Fan Shengmei said, "Why don't I go call Guan Guan and Ying Ying from next door?"

Andy said, "Okay!"

Bai Ziyang also said: "Okay, go ahead!"

When Fan Shengmei opened the door, she saw Qu Xiaoxiao raising her hand and preparing to knock on the door, which startled both of them. Fan Shengmei said, "Xiao Qu, what are you doing standing here?"

Qu Xiaoxiao raised the box in her hand and said, "That's perfect. I'll leave it to you, hairy crab! Gather everyone and call me when it's cooked!... I haven't slept for forty hours!"

Fan Shengmei said, "It's hairy crabs again. That's perfect. Andy just brought a basket of hairy crabs. I was just about to ask Xiaoguan and the others to go get some! Send them in!"

Fan Shengmei went to call Guan Guan and the others. Qu Xiaoxiao came into the house carrying a basket of hairy crabs, threw it on the workbench in the middle of the kitchen and said, "I leave it to you, Brother-in-law Bai..." After that, she walked to the sofa and fell on it with a bang.

Andy looked at Qu Xiaoxiao sleeping with her legs spread out, shook her head, took the blanket draped over the back of the sofa, and covered Qu Xiaoxiao with it.

Bai Ziyang looked at the extra basket of hairy crabs and said, "How about steaming one basket and making spicy crabs in the other basket? Can Andy eat spicy food?"

Andy shrugged and said, "A little bit!"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Let me show you the charm of Greater China's cuisine!"

When Fan Shengmei came back, Guan Juer followed her and asked, "Xiao Qiu didn't come?"

Fan Shengmei said: "Come over later. She went to the supermarket with her boyfriend to buy some vegetables. She said her boyfriend's cooking is very delicious..."

Bai Ziyang raised his head and said, "It's really delicious? Can it be as delicious as what I cook?"

Fan Shengmei went over to comfort him and said, "Oh my, your cooking is the best. No one else can compare to you!"

Andy looked at the two people who were showing off and smiled and shook his head.

Bai Ziyang said: "There can't be two tigers on this mountain, unless they are one male and one female!"

Guan Juer joked: "Then Sister Fan is the tigress?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Not only that..."

Fan Shengmei turned around and glared at him and said, "What are you talking about?"

Bai Ziyang quickly changed the subject and said, "I don't know what Xiao Qiu's boyfriend looks like?"

Guan Juer smiled and said, "I heard from Yingying that he is a handsome guy?"

"Handsome guy? Where are you?" Before anyone could say anything, Qu Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly sat up and shouted.

Everyone was stunned, and Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "Qu Xiaoxiao, the handsome guy hasn't come yet, go back to sleep!"

Qu Xiaoxiao saw the handsome guy and fell on the sofa and continued to sleep for the second half.

Andy said, "I have seen that boy before. He is a very gentle boy, not very handsome. However, a study specifically on animals shows that the pulse waves sent by the brain's No. 0 nerve can directly affect humans' perception of the external environment. The fibers it sends to the retina will directly change the way visual information is processed!"

Guan Juer asked: "Then...what does this mean?"

Bai Ziyang put the crabs into the steamer and said, "It means that the saying that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder has scientific basis!"

Andy nodded and said, "That's right!"

After a while, the doorbell rang. Guan Juer said, "It must be Yingying and the others." She was about to open the door, but Bai Ziyang quickly stopped her and said, "Shengmei, go to the door first. Those who are uglier than me can come in. If they are more handsome than me, just let them go back."

Fan Shengmei smiled and went to open the door and said, "Okay, I got it."

Andy smiled and said, "Is it that serious?"

Bai Ziyang said with a serious face: "This is about territorial sovereignty, we must fight for every inch of land!"
