soldiers in front

The Qijiang Bridge was built as early as 08. After two renovations, it has become a landmark building in Weining City.The total length of the bridge is more than 1000 meters. There is a lot of traffic on the bridge and thousands of boats under the bridge.Xia Bingyang got up early in the morning, and drove around the Qijiang Bridge, which he hadn't seen for a long time. He crossed the Qijiang Bridge, and then returned the same way, driving in the slow lane, to see the cityscape of Weining that he had neglected for many years.

In fact, he did not visit the bridge on a whim, it was all because Ji Zheng asked him to meet at the Qijiang Bridge at night, although there was still a considerable distance from the agreed meeting time, but Xia Bingyang couldn't bear it long ago, and waited at home for two hours Finally decided to advance to the bridge 'site inspection'.After swimming across the bridge, he looked at his watch. It was past three o'clock at noon, and there were still five or six hours to kill, so he called Ren Erdong out and went shopping together.

Sometimes he and Ren Erdong are like a pair of girlfriends, they often meet to buy clothes, cut hair, go to the gym, and go to nightclubs.However, since Ren Erdong left his singles, Xia Bingyang has often rejected his appointments. Xia Bingyang understands it very well, but Ren Erdong feels indebted to him. After all, the two have been together since freshman year, and worked in the same unit after graduation.They were inseparable all day long, and when Ren Erdong found a girlfriend, he had to put Xia Bingyang behind his girlfriend. He agreed without hesitation: "Wait for me at the old place, three to ten minutes."

The old place is a billiards hall in the busy pedestrian street. It was jointly opened by Ren Erdong and a relative. Ren Erdong took a stake in this billiards hall and was regarded as the second head of the billiards hall.The real boss is a man in his 40s with a sturdy figure like a bodybuilder. Xia Bingyang followed Ren Erdong and called him "Big Cousin". Brother can always clear a table for them.

Xia Bingyang went straight to this billiard hall after getting off the bridge. The staff of the billiard hall already knew him, and when they saw him enter the door, they took the initiative to greet him: "Officer Xia is alone today? Dongge didn't come?"

Xia Bingyang took off his sunglasses and hung them in his breast pocket, and glanced at the crowded lobby: "He'll be there soon."

The staff said: "The upstairs and downstairs are full, let's go to the back."

The billiard hall is very large, and the distance from the front hall to the back hall is nearly [-] meters. Xia Bingyang chatted with him while walking: "Is your boss here?"

"Brother Chong went to the stock market, and he probably won't be back until evening."

Xia Bingyang has always suspected that Ren Erdong's eldest cousin is a person of the Tao, or was once a person of the Tao.He and his eldest cousin have met many times and drank together.The eldest cousin is full of quagmire, his mouth is full of brothers, and his life experience is rich enough to make a TV series. His real background is by no means as simple as the owner of a billiard hall.If he hadn't believed that Erdong would not do some illegal things such as forming a clique for personal gain, he would have sent someone to thoroughly investigate his cousin and this store.

The staff led him to a table near the bar in the back hall, had someone clean up the pool table and set it up by himself. Before leaving, he said, "Officer Xia, play first, and call me if you need anything."

Xia Bingyang sat obliquely by the pool table, rubbing powder on the cue sticks, looked at the staff who was telling the billiard girl to treat him well, and once again suppressed his desire to thoroughly investigate the store. impulse.

It's too Jianghu, even the staff are so Jianghu, in such an atmosphere, even if the guests suddenly pull out weapons from under the table and start a fight, Xia Bingyang will not be surprised.

The billiards girl in a sailor suit walked towards Xia Bingyang with a smile, and picked up another cue: "Handsome guy, I'll play a game with you."

This girl is probably new here, Xia Bingyang has never seen her before, and it is also the first time she has seen Xia Bingyang.

Xia Bingyang had a cigarette in his mouth, so he didn't answer her immediately. He took out the lighter from his trouser pocket and was about to light it, when the girl stepped forward, took the lighter from his hand, lifted the lid and lit the cigarette for him.

Xia Bingyang looked at her with interest, put the lighter she returned into his pocket, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and asked with a smile: "How is your skill?"

The girl smiled without answering, bent down to set up her cue, and disrupted the table with one shot: "Try it and you will know."

Three or ten minutes later, when Ren Erdong arrived at the billiard hall as scheduled, the girl just cleared the table.

Xia Bingyang had already finished her shot, standing by the table and applauding her: "Beautiful!"

The girl put the cue stick to the corner of the table, smiled at the belated Ren Erdong: "Brother Dong."

Ren Erdong: "You guys had a great time."

Xia Bingyang ignored him, called the girl to her side, picked up two glasses of low-alcohol cocktails from the table, handed her a glass, and then touched her: "What's the name of the trick you hit the red number two ball just now?" ?”

The girl took a sip of wine, raised her right hand and rolled twice in the air, and said with a smile, "This? It's nothing, it has no name."

Xia Bingyang joked: "Looks like I should call you Master." Putting down his wine glass, he took out his wallet from the pocket of his slacks, took out ten red bills and handed them to her, and said with a smile, "I'd like to bet and admit defeat."

The girl accepted it unceremoniously, but folded one of them twice and stuffed it into the breast pocket of Xia Bingyang's shirt.

Xia Bingyang looked down at the banknotes she stuffed into his breast pocket, raised his eyebrows, and accepted the move happily: "What do you mean?"

The girl's right hand rested on his chest for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's my first meeting, it's a pleasure meeting you, and I invite you to drink tea."

Xia Bingyang smiled very chicly, and said with a coquettish posture: "Thank you, but courtesy is reciprocal, should I buy you a drink next time?"

"I'm not bad at drinking either."

Xia Bingyang smiled and said: "Really? Then I will ask you for advice."

The girl said: "No problem, you know how to find me."

Xia Bingyang smiled at her and said, "See you later."

After leaving the billiard hall, Ren Erdong asked him: "Do you really want to ask her out?"

Xia Bingyang left the girl behind in a blink of an eye, and said, "What about an appointment, just chatting."

Ren Erdong glanced at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: "You are not chatting, you are chatting|cosplaying. But you are just talking, if you ask out all the people who have teased you over the years, sooner or later It was squeezed dry.”

Xia Bingyang stopped, turned to him with a puzzled look on his face, and said, "Is this the image I have in your heart?"

Ren Erdong put his hand on his shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter what image you are in my heart, as long as you are not such an image in the heart of your male god."

Xia Bingyang slightly raised the corners of his lips and thought carefully, "The image of me in his heart is definitely different from the image in your heart."

Ren Erdong blinked: "More coquettish?"

Xia Bingyang smirked twice, and smashed the car keys on his chest: "It's more simple."

Ren Erdong shook his head: "Then he is really blind."

He drove Xia Bingyang's off-road vehicle that was parked in the open-air parking lot, picked up Xia Bingyang, and drove to the men's clothing stores they often visited.In the past, Xia Bingyang was able to calm down and choose some suits for himself, but Ren Erdong found that after he entered the first store and tried on a shirt, he became impatient and looked at his watch frequently. I bought a black and white vertical striped shirt hastily, and went into the dressing room to change after paying the bill. Then I looked at the mirror and asked, "How is it?"

Ren Erdong slumped on the sofa playing games, glanced at Xia Bingyang in the mirror, and said honestly, "You look good even if you're wrapped in a rag."

Xia Bingyang was dissatisfied with his comments, and asked the clerk to match him with a pair of black cropped slacks, then tucked the hem of the shirt halfway in, and asked, "Now?"

Ren Erdong looked at him twice this time, and said: "Shove it all in, your waist is so thin, show it to your male god."

Xia Bingyang thought it made sense, so he hid the hem of his shirt into his trouser waist, and loosened the edges to look as natural as possible. Finally, he bought a new belt and put it on. Finally, he left the men's clothing store with a new look, and threw the old clothes directly into the trash can.

The button of the new shirt on his body was small and tight. Xia Bingyang felt that the neckline was a little tight, so he undid two more buttons, and the inverted V neckline could hang over the gully between the chest muscles.

Ren Erdong watched the scene where he was scratching his head and posing, and suddenly felt blessed: "Do you have a date tonight?"

Xia Bingyang fiddled with his bangs on the screen of his mobile phone. Because he was satisfied with his new look, he was very happy: "You just discovered it?"

"With whom?"

"Who else could it be."

"Ji Zheng? Is he in the country?"

"Go home tonight."

Ren Erdong was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, put his arms around his shoulders, took out a member gold card of a certain hotel from his pocket, and handed it to him: "Here, if you book a room at night, you can use it."

Xia Bingyang glanced at the golden card, twitched the corner of his lips, and accepted it with a smile: "Remove the 'if', it will definitely be useful."

Ren Erdong repeatedly patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, show your true colors and seduce him shamelessly."

Unexpectedly, Xia Bingyang's shameless plan to seduce Ji Zheng was suddenly disrupted.

The city court changed its vice president, and the newly appointed vice president hosted a banquet for his colleagues in the public security bureau. Xia Bingyang was lucky and unfortunate to be included in the banquet list of the vice president.Since Xia Bingyang's father had just received the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award at the beginning of the year, and at the commendation meeting, Xia's father also met the then director of the Justice Bureau and today's vice president of the court, so the vice president read and talked with Xia. In terms of his father's friendship, he called Xia Bingyang himself and invited him to dinner at night.

When Xia Bingyang received this invitation call, his face changed. He was extremely reluctant, but he had to smile all over his face, so he seemed to be grinning: "Of course, of course, I will definitely come... um, tonight See you, Dean Qiu."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Bingyang sat on a chair in the lobby of the shopping mall, with a hard face on the floor, feeling sick and wishing he could find a place to kick him hard.

Ren Erdong knew very well that it was not easy for him to meet Ji Zheng, and he also knew that Xia Bingyang cared about Ji Zheng very much.He sympathized with Xia Bingyang very much, but he had to go to this kind of dinner when the new official took office, otherwise the relationship between superiors and subordinates would be difficult to handle in the future.So he had no choice but to sympathize.

Xia Bingyang was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "When you are at the wine table, you can pour me down, and I will pretend to be drunk."

Ren Erdong felt that it was unreliable: "You have participated in nearly a hundred dinners in these years, has anyone ever got you drunk? You are the well-known public prosecutor in Weining City who is not drunk after a thousand cups. Do you still want to be in that group?" Pretend to be drunk in front of a human spirit? Do you believe they dare to send you to the hospital for gastric lavage?"

Xia Bingyang thought of the prestige she had sprinkled on the wine table all these years, and suddenly wanted to slap herself in the face.

Seeing that he was really depressed, Ren Erdong had no choice but to give him a bad idea: "Otherwise, you can pretend to be sick and say that the injury has worsened."

Xia Bingyang sneered: "If I do this, President Qiu can send his secretary to the hospital to take care of me."

Ren Erdong sighed: "Father can't help it."

Xia Bingyang was depressed for a while, sighed and said: "Forget it, let's take a step and see."

At 07:30 in the evening, Xia Bingyang and Ren Erdong arrived at the Hongyan Building as scheduled, and two staff members beside President Qiu were already waiting in the lobby.When the two officers saw Xia Bingyang and Ren Erdong, they greeted them. After exchanging pleasantries, they took them to the door of the box, and then returned to the lobby.

Dean Qiu reserved four boxes, and arranged the colleagues for the banquet in the four boxes.Xia Bingyang adhered to the principle of taking care of what has come, at least getting the affairs in front of him done first, lest both ends be distracted and the other ends be wasted. He went around every box and greeted every official big and small.Dang Hao was also on the banquet list, and was in the same box as Xia Bingyang, next to Xia Bingyang.Xia Bingyang and Dang Hao have no friendship other than business affairs, and the relationship is hot and cold, but it doesn't affect the two of them being hypocritical in front of many colleagues, and they tacitly hide the sharpness of the past.

Before the banquet began, Dean Qiu came to toast, said a lot of scenes, and left his secretary in the box of Xia Bingyang and others, and went to the next door by himself.The secretary took the place of Dean Qiu and took care of everyone very well, which can be said to have reached a new level of tact.

On Xia Bingyang's left sat Dang Hao, on his right sat Ren Erdong, and around him sat colleagues from the public security and procuratorate that he had acquainted with on weekdays. Ren Erdong was the only acquaintance.Normally, no matter how unfamiliar he is, he can chat wildly with each other, but at this time, no matter how familiar he is, he doesn't have the heart to talk to him.

Dang Hao cared about his colleagues, drank a few glasses of wine with him, and wanted to chat with him, but Xia Bingyang perfunctory each time.

Ren Erdong has been looking at Xia Bingyang and Dang Hao with trepidation, for fear that Xia Bingyang will offend Dang Hao, who is one level older than him after all.When he saw that Dang Hao's face was a bit unsightly, he quickly got up and walked around Xia Bingyang and sat down beside Dang Hao, replacing Xia Bingyang with all the enthusiasm that Xia Bingyang lacked.

Xia Bingyang really wasn't in the mood to perfunctory anyone at this time, he drank when someone drank with him, and stayed by himself when no one paid attention to him. It has been nearly an hour since the banquet started, and he didn't even move his chopsticks, drinking and smoking all the time .Ren Erdong wanted to cover for Xia Bingyang, holding a glass of wine and kept toasting on the wine table, and made up a seemingly reasonable reason for Xia Bingyang's passive sabotage.

"Our captain's blind date failed again, hahahaha."

Everyone at the wine table chose to believe Ren Erdong's half-truth and half-false joke, and made fun of Xia Bingyang one after another. Xia Bingyang was taken over by seven or eight people for a while.

Xia Bingyang smiled and clinked glasses with them non-stop. After toasting the group of enthusiastic matchmakers, he put down the wine glasses, got up and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go to the bathroom."

As soon as Xia Bingyang left, Ren Erdong was able to catch his breath. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up some food when he heard a vibrating sound from his mobile phone, so he said, "Party team, your mobile phone is ringing."

Dang Hao was peeling crabs. Hearing this, he stopped his hands and felt the phone inside his mouth, saying: "It's not mine." After speaking, he glanced at Xia Bingyang's position: "It's Xiao Xia's phone."

Ren Erdong saw that Xia Bingyang's mobile phone was vibrating on the table. He put down his chopsticks and picked up the mobile phone. When he saw the caller 'Ji Zheng', he quickly took the mobile phone to a secluded place by the window and connected the call: "Brother Ji."

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then a gentle and deep male voice came: "Hello, who are you?"

"I'm Ren Erdong. We met at the police station last time."

"Oh, Officer Ren. Where's Bingyang?"

Ren Erdong glanced at the door, and suddenly he had an idea, and said: "Yangyang...he's drunk, and I'm drunk too, we can't drive, come and pick him up. We're in Box No. 3 on the seventh floor of Hongyan Building on Haibin Avenue, hurry up."

After speaking, I hung up.

Five minutes later, Xia Bingyang came back, first checked the time, and then secretly said to Ren Erdong: "Quickly think of a fucking way, I really can't sit still."

Ren Erdong patted his thigh: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Xia Bingyang smiled, but he was gritting his teeth: "Ji Zheng is waiting for me, I'm waiting here for nothing."

Ren Erdong still patted his thigh: "10 minutes, wait another 10 minutes." After speaking, he winked at him resolutely.

Xia Bingyang thought he had an idea, so he waited patiently, never taking his eyes off the watch.

When 10 minutes were up, he waited for another 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, he finally lost his patience, hooked Ren Erdong's neck and grinned, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Ren Erdong was about to talk with his neck stuck, when he suddenly felt that Xia Bingyang's cell phone, which he had put in his pocket just now, began to vibrate, so he pushed Xia Bingyang's arm away, and went outside the box to answer the phone.

Xia Bingyang is so distracted now that he doesn't even know that his mobile phone has been taken away. He thinks that Ren Erdong is going out to seek refuge, so he glares fiercely at Ren Erdong's back.

Dang Hao saw his strange state in his eyes, peeled the crab shell and asked, "Hurry up?"

Xia Bingyang quickly adjusted his smiling face again, and said: "Don't rush, this is the round for today." After speaking, he picked up the cigarette case on the table and took out two cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and threw the other to Dang Hao .

He took out the lighter from his pocket and held the flame to light a cigarette, when he heard the box door open again, Ren Erdong laughed loudly: "Excuse me, everyone, I want to add a guest."

Xia Bingyang raised his eyes and looked towards the door, and saw Ren Erdong standing at the door with a smile on his face, and then, a figure flashed by, and there was another person beside Ren Erdong, it was Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng was still wearing a straight dark blue suit, and because of the sweltering heat today, he took off his suit jacket and hung it on his forearm. The white shirt on his body shone like a cloud of soft light under the bright light of the box , his gentle and noble temperament is incompatible with the box that smells of tobacco and alcohol and is full of gangsters, like a person who has walked out of the world.

Ren Erdong turned sideways, let Ji Zheng in, and smiled at Xia Bingyang: "Leader, let me introduce you quickly."

Ji Zheng also caught sight of Xia Bingyang who was facing the door, he looked away from Xia Bingyang, looked around the wine table indifferently, and smiled politely.

Xia Bingyang pressed the lighter in a daze for a long time, and when he heard Ren Erdong calling him, he quickly squeezed the cigarette out of his mouth before he could light it: "Oh, he is... it's my brother."

The two people closest to the door stood up and shook hands with Ji Zheng, and said with a smile, "We didn't even know that Xiao Xia had an older brother."

Ji Zheng shook hands with them, only said "It's a pleasure to meet you", then walked around the wine table towards Xia Bingyang, pulled away an empty chair beside Xia Bingyang, looked at Xia Bingyang and asked in a low voice: "Can I sit?"

"Ok, Ok."

When Ji Zheng sat beside him, Xia Bingyang looked at Ji Zheng's deep and stern profile, his head was still a little dizzy, and then asked a very stupid question: "Why are you here?"

Ji Zheng pulled the chair back a few centimeters, sat with crossed legs gracefully, put his hands in front of him, and did not touch anything on the wine table. When Xia Bingyang asked him, he turned his head and leaned slightly towards Xia Bingyang Jin, said in a low voice: "The Hongyan Building was completed in 09, and I have been here twice. I wanted to come here to try my luck, but I didn't expect to come here." He looked at the expression on his face , chuckled softly: "Your friend said you were drunk and asked me to pick you up, but you seem to be... still sober."

Xia Bingyang also leaned towards him, and gently touched his shoulder: "Could it be that I'm so drunk that I can't get up, so you're willing to come?"

Ji Zheng smiled and said: "That's not what it means."

Xia Bingyang glanced at his watch and said, "We'll leave after ten minutes more." After speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had released Ji Zheng's pigeon for more than an hour, and hurriedly explained: "Today's wine game can't be pushed away. I wanted to show my face and leave, but I didn't expect to stay until now, have you been waiting for me at the bridge for a long time?"

Ji Zheng said: "It's okay, your business is important."

Ji Zheng is always so tolerant and gentle, almost never complaining about any of his actions, Xia Bingyang is always forgiven in front of him.Xia Bingyang, who was treated like this by Ji Zheng, couldn't help being a little shaken, and even looked at Ji Zheng for a while, only to find that Ji Zheng's gaze was slowly turning on the wine table, as if he was looking for something.

"are you hungry?"

Xia Bingyang thought he wanted to eat something.

Ji Zheng pushed his glasses lightly, said with a low smile, "I'm a little thirsty."

Xia Bingyang knew that he didn't drink at all, so he quickly drank the wine in his glass, then picked up the teapot at the corner of the table, rinsed the glass with boiling tea, and poured another cup of tea into the wine glass.When he handed the cup to Ji Zheng, he suddenly remembered that Ji Zheng was a bit of a clean freak, and never used the tableware that others had used, not to mention the alcohol-smelling wine glass.So he hurriedly withdrew the half-handed cup: "I'll help you get a clean cup—"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Zheng reached out to catch the wine glass and said, "It's okay."

Xia Bingyang was stunned for a moment, watching Ji Zheng take a sip of water from the wine glass he had just used, a certain part of his heart seemed to be scalded by scalding hot water. Feeling itchy...

From the corner of his eyes, Ji Zheng saw that the base of his ears were a little red, and his fair cheeks were also full of alcohol, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

The wine table was lively, and the sound of punching was very disturbing, so Ji Zheng asked this sentence almost by his ear.

Xia Bingyang's ears were numb again, half of his body seemed to be stiff, he lowered his head and waited for a while before saying: "It's okay, I—"

In the middle of speaking, he stopped again, because he suddenly felt that he should not continue to avoid, he must meet Ji Zheng to meet him, isn't it just for now?Now continue to hide, so what's the point of their meeting?

Perhaps because of drinking, Xia Bingyang is now extremely easily stimulated, and after being stimulated, he is extremely impulsive, but it is this impulsiveness that he needs at this time.

He turned to Ji Zheng, suddenly pressed Ji Zheng's right hand that was resting on the chair, and looked into Ji Zheng's eyes with dark and bright eyes: "Brother Ji Zheng, I want to tell you something."

Although Ji Zheng didn't know what he wanted to say, he felt that this was not a good place to talk, so he said: "It's a bit noisy here, can we talk about it when we go out?"

Xia Bingyang was already drafting in his belly at this time, so that he only saw Ji Zheng's lips opening and closing, but didn't hear what he said at all.There seemed to be strings of words running in front of his eyes, all of which were the drafts he had just recited silently in his heart. When he read both sides silently, and was about to confess to Ji Zheng in one go, he suddenly heard Director Qiu's secretary who was sitting diagonally across from him say loudly: "What do you think? Captain Xia?"

Xia Bingyang, who was named, turned his head to look at him subconsciously, his eyes drifted, and his expression was blank: "Huh?"

Ren Erdong deliberately emphasized: "Secretary Gao has a cousin who I want to introduce to you."

Xia Bingyang remembered that at the beginning of the dinner, Ren Erdong told him a lie about the failure of the blind date. He didn't expect this topic to last until now, and he was about to tell a lie to the mouths of this group of people, but suddenly changed his mind , smiled and said: "Thank you Secretary Gao for your kindness, actually I have a partner."

He seemed to be looking at Secretary Gao, but actually stared at Ji Zheng from the corner of his eye.Seeing Ji Zheng lowered his eyes slightly after hearing him say that he had a partner, and then wanted to withdraw his right hand that was pressed by him.

Xia Bingyang suddenly pressed Ji Zheng's hand firmly, and held Ji Zheng's fingers lightly, so that Ji Zheng could not withdraw his hand.Ji Zheng frowned, seemingly surprised, but he only glanced at Xia Bingyang, pursed his thin lips tightly and said nothing.

Secretary Gao said: "Didn't you just say that the blind date failed? Why did you find someone so soon?"

Xia Bingyang looked calm and calm, but in fact he was very nervous. He held Ji Zheng's fingers tightly and did not dare to let go, for fear that Ji Zheng would force his hand away. Fortunately, Ji Zheng let him hold his hand, and No big moves.The hands they held together were placed under the table, and no one around the wine table could see the scenery under the table. Perhaps this was the reason why Ji Zheng didn't dare to make a big noise to attract attention.

Xia Bingyang said: "It was just a few minutes ago."

A certain chief of the procuratorate smiled and said, "Let me just say, Xiaoxia is young and promising, and the conditions are good, how can she not find a girlfriend."

Xia Bingyang picked up his wine glass and touched him in the air, but smiled and said nothing.

As a native of the Northeast, Dang Hao has not eaten crabs a few times, but he likes these seafood. A crab has not been peeled cleanly after more than ten minutes.He focused on the crab in his hand. When Ji Zheng came, he just took a look at Ji Zheng, wondering why Xia Bingyang suddenly ran out of such a gentle and gentle brother.Although he was a bit strange, he didn't ask any further questions. He only felt weird when he heard Xia Bingyang say that he had left the order in a flash, because he was very close to Xia Bingyang, and he could clearly see that Xia Bingyang was just frowning on the wine table, Even Ren Erdong answered the phone for him. He hadn't communicated with anyone outside the dinner party since he attended the dinner party. Why did he suddenly get a date?

Dang Hao is not a gossip person, but the occupational disease of a criminal investigator made him want to clarify this matter, so he broke off his crab legs and asked Xia Bingyang with a smile: "Xiao Xia has a date?"

Xia Bingyang turned his head slightly towards him, and said with a smile, "Yes, the party team."

"What kind of girl? Pretty?"

Xia Bingyang looked at Ji Zheng indistinctly, and said, "Beautiful, very beautiful."

Hearing this, Ji Zheng couldn't bear it any longer. A gloomy look appeared between his indifferent brows. He suddenly felt that Xia Bingyang's behavior of holding his hand was absurd. He tried to pull his hand out, but he made a slight movement. , Xia Bingyang gripped even tighter.In order to avoid physical conflict, it was impossible for him to forcefully shake off Xia Bingyang's hand, so he stopped his movements helplessly, took off his glasses and rubbed between his worried brows.

Dang Hao seemed to be a little interested in this matter, and asked, "How did you know each other?"

While looking at Ji Zheng, Xia Bingyang said to Dang Hao, "We used to be neighbors."

"Before? How long ago?"

"From my...12 to 15 years old, we were neighbors in those years. When I returned to Weining, naturally I couldn't be neighbors."

Hearing this sentence, Ji Zheng was stunned unconsciously, his expression seemed a little doubtful, he hesitated to look at Xia Bingyang, but he only turned his head towards him, and his eyes instantly became messy.

Dang Hao smiled and said, "It happened so long ago, don't tell me that you liked her when you were her neighbor."

Xia Bingyang didn't dare to look directly at Ji Zheng's face, but kept looking at Ji Zheng from the corner of his eye. When he saw that Ji Zheng seemed to be thinking, his heartbeat almost flew out of his throat, his tongue almost trembled, and he managed to maintain his composure: "No Wrong, I did like him many years ago."

One laughed exaggeratedly twice: "I can't tell, Captain Xia is still a long-term lover."

Xia Bingyang smiled perfunctorily at the man, his palms were sweating like a piece of hot iron, but Ji Zheng's skin was still warm and moist, and Ji Zheng's fingers were held in his hand, like a piece of meat that would not melt under the fire. ice cubes

Dang Hao was dubious, and asked a more private question, which seemed to test the truth of his words: "What's your partner's name? Where do you work?"

This question really hit Xia Bingyang's heart. He stopped breathing for a moment, and suddenly felt dry mouth, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat. Then he regained his composure, and then smiled at Dang Hao: " His surname is Ji, and he is a psychiatrist."

After saying these words, Xia Bingyang noticed that Ji Zheng was shaken by the hand he held, and then suddenly pulled his hand out of his palm forcefully, the movement was so big that he lost his posture.

When Dang Hao saw it, he asked Ji Zheng: "You are Xiao Xia's brother, right? Then you must be the clearest about his affairs. I think Xiao Xia was bragging just now. Is what he said true?"

Ji Zheng's expression was stiff, and he seemed to be trying to suppress something under his calm face. His eyes, which were always extremely calm and clear, looked abnormally messy at this moment. He didn't answer Dang Hao's question, but only smiled reluctantly.

But Xia Bingyang looked at him and said, "Brother, you know who I'm talking about."

This is not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

Ji Zheng was completely confused, he didn't look at Xia Bingyang, nor did he look at anyone at the wine table waiting for him to testify to the truth of Xia Bingyang's words, he quickly left the box without saying a word, almost embarrassed and rude.

Ji Zheng left, and Xia Bingyang followed him. When he reached the door, he turned around and smiled at a table of people: "Sorry, my brother is not feeling well, I'll go and see him."
