Notes on the Tower of Babel
Chapter 8
The police officer has won a prize. It is a hobby. I didn't expect it to be useful. "Jiang Xiao replied modestly, neither humble nor overbearing, as if he and Jiang Feng were really in the relationship between ordinary citizens and the police.
——"Uncle Zhang, let's ride in the same car, don't you doubt me?"
——"The next time I see this situation, it means I believe in you."
Last time Jiang Xiao took the initiative to expose his close relationship with the police station.
This time he and Jiang Feng pretended to be strangers.
Xiao Heyun slowly savored the bitterness overflowing from the tip of his tongue.
Not trusted.
It's okay, he reassured himself.Strategy games are all done step by step, and the seeds of doubt are the impetus for the in-depth development of the relationship between the protagonists.
In the end, everyone on the No. 45 bus was taken back to the police station.
Li Shiqing told Wang Xingde and his wife the real reason why Wang Mengmeng got off the car, and Zhang Cheng promised to restart the investigation of Wang Mengmeng's case.
Afterwards, they were not interrogated like the previous few times. After all, their identities had changed this time. Both Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun were sent out of the city bureau amicably.
Jiang Xiao maintained the persona of ordinary people and walked down the steps outside the door with them, thinking about which path to turn back, and saw the little brother with eyes who had chatted a few words standing under a tree a few steps away, watching Own.
Jiang Xiao's eyes moved slightly, this was the first time he faced such complex gazes, mixed with nostalgia, sadness, loneliness, and even a trace of... grievance...
This brought him indescribable feelings.
When the boy met his gaze, his eyes drooped, the end of his eyes and the corners of his mouth shrugged, showing a standard sad expression.
But why?
Xiao Heyun stepped up and walked towards Jiang Xiao. After a long time of mental construction, he finally decided to take the initiative to explain the cause and effect. He didn't want those experiences that actually happened to him to be buried.He knew very well that Jiang Xiao wouldn't ask if he didn't take the initiative to speak.
Then their trajectories will be the same as before the loop, like two parallel lines, never intersecting.
He didn't want that.
It shouldn't have ended like this.
They can break the deadlock and successfully rescue the No. 45 bus, so there is no reason why they cannot reverse the parallel behavior and intersect.
The NPC and the protagonist shouldn't forget each other in the world after waking up from a dream, such a game will be scolded miserably.
What's more, Jiang Xiao said "remember to come to me" and "I want to know" to him.
— “You could have done it.”
It was really a sentence full of hints and one's imagination, just thinking about it made Xiao Heyun's ears red.
If so, then...
Xiao Heyun pulled out a stiff smile, "One, let's have a meal together. It's so late, I haven't had lunch yet."
Jiang Xiao glanced at his watch upon hearing this.
2:21
Xiao Heyun wished he could bite off his tongue.
14, 14. "No Mushrooms"
Xiao Heyun wanted to slap himself, but he couldn't think of a reason after racking his brains. He pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Xiao nervously.
The young man lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
One second, or two seconds?
Maybe, in terms of physical time, Xiao Heyun felt that half a year had passed.
Jiang Xiao just ran through the thoughts in his head while looking at his watch. He was sure that he didn't know Xiao Heyun, and he didn't seem to be causing trouble.But as far as the boys' expressions and manners are concerned, they seem to have a close relationship.
The tails of his eyes were raised slightly, and he looked calmly from the corner of his eye, and was startled when he touched the other person's pale face, sighed inwardly, and made a decision instantly.
Sometimes, he really hopes that he can learn some micro-expressions, be more slow, so that he won't be so soft-hearted as he is now, so that he can't refuse.
"it is good……"
Jiang Xiao said...
"I've already had lunch, but we can have a cup of afternoon tea together." He gave a reason for his invitation, "You saved our whole car, so I should treat you to a meal."
Although it is calculated according to the time of afternoon tea, the time is too early.
Xiao Heyun let out a long breath upon hearing the words.
As soon as Jiang Xiaofu agreed, he knew there was a door.
If it's a game, maybe the words [Congratulations to the player for successfully opening the HE line] will pop up.
"There is a private kitchen opened by a friend I know nearby, we can go there and discuss in detail." Jiang Xiao looked at him after finishing speaking, waiting for his opinion.
Xiao Heyun agreed straight away, "Listen to you."
Jiang Xiao smiled, "You really trust me."
"Because you are worth it." Xiao Heyun said softly.
Jiang Xiao never breaks his promise, so just leave it to him with confidence.
There was unreserved trust in the boy's eyes, Jiang Xiao paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, and said, "Someone must have taught you how to deal with me."
Having said that, Jiang Xiao already had a speculation in his mind, a speculation that made him feel absurd.
Xiao Heyun was noncommittal, and only thought silently in his heart: This person—of course it is you.
The private kitchen mentioned by Jiang Xiao is located on the second floor of the business building. The tea house is designed, and the antique plaque reads "Tan Wen Guan" in handwriting.
The two opened the door and walked in, and the boss greeted them.
"Brother Xu..." Jiang Xiao called out.
With a rather familiar tone, Xiao Heyun began to size him up.
The man called "Brother Xu" is only about 30 years old in appearance, with a tough face and a strong figure. There is a flesh-colored scar flying to the cheekbone.From the outside, he looks more like a soldier than a chef.
"A Xiao..." Xu Yuan patted his shoulder, "Why come here when you have time?"
Xu Yuan's gaze shifted to Xiao Heyun, "Who is this?"
"A friend happened to be passing by, and I wanted to bring him to try your handicraft."
Jiang Xiao laughed, his eyebrows brimming with youthful publicity, "Why, can't you?"
"Okay, I'll make it for you." Xu Yuan rolled up his sleeves, "The third one?"
Jiang Xiao asked Xiao Heyun: "Do you have any taboos?"
Xiao Heyun looked serious: "No mushrooms."
Xu Yuan laughed, "Okay."
He walked into the kitchen, unsteady on his feet.
Jiang Xiao took Xiao Heyun to a private room, bypassing the screen carved with mountains and water, the dark red wooden table was surrounded by a bright window, and a copybook hung on the wall read "serve the country with loyalty".
They sat down facing each other, and when Xiao Heyun looked up, he could see the big "serve the country with loyalty" on Jiang Xiao's back, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
As far as Jiang Xiao's status is concerned, it's... quite appropriate for the occasion.
Xiao Heyun had almost guessed Xu Yuan's identity at this time, most likely Jiang Xiao's former senior or senior, who had worked in the city bureau, but suffered from a leg problem due to an injury during a certain mission, and was unwilling to be an office worker, so he simply resigned Take up another hobby.
But he didn't say it, and Jiang Xiao didn't take the initiative to tell him, so he didn't say it or ask.
Regarding Jiang Xiao's life, Xu Yuan is just the tip of the iceberg. When you think about it carefully, apart from their personality and occupation, they actually don't know each other at all, not at all.
What's more...
Xiao Heyun clenched his hands under the table, his eyes drooping.
What is the relationship between them, he has not figured out until now.
"Xiao Heyun..." Jiang Xiao leaned forward, propped his elbows on the table, tilted his head, and smiled at him with a cautious questioning attitude, "Don't you have something to say to me?"
The young man's eyes encouraged, Xiao Heyun swallowed his saliva, finally mustered up the courage, raised his eyes and looked straight into Jiang Xiao's eyes.
"it is good……"
"We met in a circle."
The author has something to say:
Originally, I wanted to continue after the college entrance examination, but it's still a matter of concern!
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
15, 15. "Boy, friend, friend"
"We met in a circle."
This time, Jiang Xiao didn't hide the surprise that flashed in his eyes.
It is not a bad thing to show one's emotions, and proper honesty is needed between people.
Xiao Heyun may not know that he looks at Jiang Xiao like a rabbit poking his head, and as long as Jiang Xiao shows a gesture of disbelief, he will immediately retreat into the hole.
So Jiang Xiao said: "Well, I'm listening, and then?"
So Xiao Heyun described the incredible ten cycles bit by bit from his own perspective.
Instead of finding it ridiculous, Jiang Xiao seemed to be watching the truth emerge bit by bit.
Why did Xiao Heyun know the plan of Wang Tao and his wife so well, why he was able to draw up such a complete plan in such a short period of time, why did they know the truth of Wang Mengmeng's matter and just happened to get the photo——
It is so, it is so.
The cycle is incredible, but Xiao Heyun's lie has no flaws.
Jiang Xiao closed his eyes to simulate the scene in his words, and his consciousness was split into two parts, one part was acting in the set scene, and the other part was harshly examining his every move.
And it turned out - totally reasonable.
Among Xiao Heyun's lies, even his own actions were completely reasonable.
That's almost the truth.
how amazing...
Jiang Xiao rubbed his temples.
In this world... How many things he doesn't know about? If supernatural phenomena really exist, then——
Just how much of what is known is about to be overturned?
"Do you believe me?" Xiao Heyun asked in a low voice.
He waited for the sword of Damocles above his head to fall.
"I believe……"
Jiang Xiao's thoughts were confused and his mood was complicated, but he still told the truth.
He said it again: "I believe what you say."
Xiao Heyun suddenly raised his head, "Really?"
But he soon discovered that Jiang Xiao was not happy.
That's right, the first moment he learned of the existence of reincarnation, Jiang Xiao must have considered more than just their relationship.
And, so what if you believe it?If you can't experience it yourself, even if you know what he is telling the truth, you will still have a strong sense of unreality, just like watching a novel or a movie, it is difficult to experience the same feelings as Jiang Xiao at that time.
What's more, no one knows how many drawbridge effects there are in this relationship.
Seemingly aware of the boy's depression, Jiang Xiao said an amazing thing.
——"Uncle Zhang, let's ride in the same car, don't you doubt me?"
——"The next time I see this situation, it means I believe in you."
Last time Jiang Xiao took the initiative to expose his close relationship with the police station.
