Be in low spirits

"Well, have you found the person?" He was brought back to reality. "Not yet." Xiao Liu sat there motionless.

"Please help me call Xiao Zhao in." He held the case file in his hand. Recently, the Shu family seemed to be involved again.

"Boss, you've been going to the gym a little too often lately." Xiao Liu felt that he was acting strange recently. He went to the gym a lot but seemed very irritable.

"Is there a problem?" He was indeed a little annoyed because he hadn't seen his wife for a long time.

"Have you been heartbroken? Do I have a chance with Sister Kong?" Xiao Liu still didn't give up.

"Are you sick? You already know to call me sister, so why are you still chasing me?" He should also find time to go home.

"A woman who is three years older than you is a rich man. Doesn't that girl from the Second Medical University have any chance? Is there something wrong with the way you pursue girls?" Xiao Liu felt that their leader was probably not as good as him when it came to dating.

"Get lost!" He slammed the table. I was already annoyed, and now I had to listen to him talking nonsense.

"Just go away. I'll ask Sister Kong." Xiao Liu stood up and muttered.

"How dare you! Haven't you worked overtime enough? You're so idle that you want to eat shit!" He threw a pen at the door.

When Xiao Zhao came to his office, he was picking up a pen on the ground.

"You're looking for me?" Xiao Zhao sat down across from his desk. "The Shu family has been making moves recently and they need someone to keep an eye on them. So, I want you to take two people with you to take a look." He picked up his pen and sat back down.

"Okay." Xiao Zhao didn't leave after knowing the mission. He still had a few questions he wanted to ask.

"Is there anything else?" Why are the people in their team acting weird lately?

"Old Li, tell me the truth, do you really like that female police officer in the police station?" Xiao Zhao felt that if he really couldn't catch up with her after so many years, there was no need to hang himself on a tree.

"Is it obvious?" He poured Xiao Zhao a cup of tea.

"Isn't this an obvious question? It's been so many years. There's no point in catching up if you really can't. Besides, at your age, you should consider getting married. If it really doesn't work, just find someone else." Xiao Zhao felt that what Xiao Liu said made sense. If he wasn't heartbroken, why would he always go to the gym?

"Can't change it."

"Although your conditions are not bad, there are three policemen and one doctor in their family. It is not impossible for them to find a stable and powerful person in the system. Do you really have to hang yourself on a tree? Besides, isn't there a doctor from the Second Medical University? Didn't the one from the Second Medical University catch up with him?"

What on earth did Xiao Liu spread? Why did everyone in the office believe it?

He closed the door and said, "How did Liu Yanjun spread this? How come you all believed it?"

"Do you still need Xiao Liu to tell you? You've been going to the police station a lot for a while, aren't you looking for that policewoman named Kong? When you saw that girl, your eyes were all blurry, right? Did she reject you? So you turned your grief into strength and went to the gym to train your abdominal muscles?"

"What's going on? What kind of nonsense is this?"

"The second doctor didn't like you either?"

"There's no such thing as a Second Hospital. Zhixi was receiving IV drip at the Second Hospital and we met by chance."

"You still don't believe me when I say you're stubborn. It's been a few years. If you can't catch up, just find someone else."

"Who said I can't catch up?"

"Don't you and I know? How many years have you been married to your previous partner? If this wasn't for a beautiful one, would you be able to let go?"

"Am I such a superficial person? What happened before... okay, okay, what can I explain to you?" She originally wanted to explain it clearly, but then she thought, what is there to explain to a man, and after saying that, she pushed the man out of the door.

"I'm doing this for your own good, aren't you listening?" Xiao Zhao advised him as they walked out.

Xiao Liu held a bag of potato chips and asked Lao Zhao: "Did the boss break up?"

"I didn't find it." Xiao Zhao also took out the potato chips and started eating.

"I just went to his office and he looked like he was in love. Do you think it's possible that they're in love?"

"It's hard to say, but I found out that the Second Medical College has no partner. Your sister Kong was hanging an IV there and I happened to meet her."

"Oh my god, what a coincidence? Why didn't I meet him?"

The office returned to silence. He counted the days. How long had it been since he last saw his wife? Two months? Or three months? He had to find time to go home.

Seeing Captain Li walk out of the office, the two of them quickly dispersed.

After get off work, he went to several flower shops before buying a bouquet of camellias. He called Kong Zhixi and said he would pick her up from the police station after get off work.

When she received the call and heard him say he was coming to pick her up, she was a little confused, but she was even more confused by the car parked in the noodle shop opposite the police station. It had been parked there for a month, and the owner said it was not his car, but the people who came would sit there for most of the day.

It was already past 7 o'clock when she got off work. She came out of the locker room. It was still a little chilly in March, so she needed to put on a small jacket.

His car was parked in the parking lot in front of the police station, which was somewhat conspicuous, so he had no choice but to get in.

"I'll take you to dinner." After three months, I finally saw him. "No overtime today?" Logically, since the Jiangzhou police had come, their task force should wait until the investigation was completed before going home.

"It's been three months, it's time to go home." Looking at her, he felt that he finally had a vacation.

"What to eat?" It turned out to be three months.

"I wanted to go home and cook for you, but I was afraid it would be too late, so I booked a restaurant. It's a little far, but it's definitely quiet."

He was a little attentive today, which made her feel that he was going to say something. "Is there something wrong?"

"No, I just want to have a meal with you." Since seeing her, he no longer felt tired, all the fatigue was swept away.

It was indeed a quiet restaurant with not many people. After getting off the bus, looking at the environment of the restaurant, it should not be cheap, and it was the kind of place that required careful effort to find.

Li Li took out the camellia bouquet from the trunk and handed it to her, saying embarrassedly, "I saw it at a flower shop on the way, and I thought the one at home seemed to be dead, so I bought it by the way."

Several green carnations surrounded seven or eight large white camellias, as well as a few tea branches and unopened tea bags. The green palm stood tall in the bouquet, fresh and warm, and it really made her eyes bright.

"Oh my God! Which flower shop actually has camellias? Tell me, I will buy some next time." Her eyes lit up. It was the first time she saw a bouquet of camellias. She had never seen it before.

"Uh, I forgot." He only knew that she liked camellias, but he didn't know she liked them so much. It turned out that most flower shops didn't have camellias, but mostly tacky roses. He had to go to many shops before he found them. "If you like them, I'll go and have a look next time."

"Then tell me which store it is next time you find it, and I'll buy it myself. Thank you for the flowers." She pushed open the door of the restaurant with the flowers.

Li Li felt a little guilty. He had no idea what the flower shop was called. He only knew that he had made many phone calls online to ask for answers. He thought he might be able to find it by going back and looking through the history records or navigation.

After ordering the dishes, Kong Zhixi looked around and asked, "Do you have anything to say? It's quite grand."

"It's just that I've been working overtime for too long and haven't seen each other properly. I wanted to see each other properly." He poured water for someone.

"Yeah, that seems to be the case. The camellia flowers at home were all killed. It's true that I haven't had a good vacation in a long time." She said this to him, but her eyes were fixed on the bouquet of flowers.

"Next time you have a holiday, you can go to the flower and bird market to buy two new pots." The waiter brought the food and he picked up some food for her.

"That pot has been there for many years, what a pity."

After dinner, she used the excuse of going to the bathroom to go to the restaurant cashier and bought a small bottle of red wine.

After I went home and put the flowers in the house, I finally felt like there was a place of my own in this house.

She threw the bank card after the renovation on the bedside table in his room and said, "There may be 280,000 or 290,000 in it. I'll put it in your drawer."

"Okay." He was washing apples in the kitchen.

Because they were on duty and on standby, they hadn't been home for a long time, so she remade the bed in the second bedroom.

After making the bed, she went to the balcony to look at the dead camellia tree. Li Li squatted beside her with an apple in his hand.

"How about I give you a return gift?" Kong Zhixi loosened the soil in the flowerpot and dug out the tree stump.

"A dead tree?" He picked up a piece of apple from the bowl with a toothpick and put it in her mouth.

She didn't take it. "A sip of wine. Do you want to drink?" After cleaning the tree stump, she went to the kitchen to wash her hands.

"I have to go back to work overtime tomorrow, and I haven't reported in yet." He ate the piece of apple.
