Be in low spirits

Chapter 41: Same-sex attraction

"If you just say you mind, I won't see her." Li Li felt that she finally asked, and for a moment he was a little happy. "Actually, you can see her more often, I don't mind." She said this unintentionally, but the person who heard it was unhappy. Which man would be happy if his wife agreed to let him flirt with other women?

"Can't you be a little jealous?" He suddenly became anxious, unable to understand why he was the only one who had recovered his memories of his married life.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop the car, stop the car." Kong Zhixi patted the car door and shouted. When she said these words, she didn't even look at Li Li. Li Li found a place to park and asked her what she was doing. She ran directly to the cafe across the street and then waved him over at the door of the cafe.

"Pay the bill, I don't have any money." She took the coffee and left, leaving him there to pay the bill. Every time this kind of emotional problem was mentioned, she began to avoid it.

When we arrived at Jiamao International Building, we found that there were many companies here. As for which company Zhang Xianhao was working for, Zhang Jiahui had never mentioned it. Li Li called Xiao Zhao, and the two had to sit in the canteen in the lobby on the first floor to wait for her result. At lunchtime, many office workers came down from the building to eat, which reminded Kong Zhixi of her previous work days. She said, "I used to go out to eat with my colleagues like this."

"Don't you have a cafeteria in your police station?" Li Li was a little shocked. He didn't know that there was a police station without a cafeteria.

"I mean before I became a police officer." It turned out that he didn't know that she took the civil servant exam later.

"Then why do you want to be a policeman?" He has seen people who took the civil service exam after working for a period of time, but he rarely sees people taking the police exam, unless something happened to someone in their family.

"Because of my dad, I studied game design and joined a game company after graduation. My dad quarreled with me many times because of this and thought that I was uneducated. He always denied my value and we always quarreled. Later, I thought, maybe if I proved myself, he would change his opinion of me? So I took the exam to become a police officer." When she talks about her father now, her emotions are no longer as resistant as before.

"But why not use games to prove yourself? Instead, you have to compromise and take the civil service exam?" Li Li felt that this was a bit contradictory.

"In his eyes, all game designs are ignorant and unskillful. So no matter what kind of amazing game I design, he will only think that I am wasting my life, exploiting the value of others, and aiding and abetting evil." She looked at the office workers coming and going in the building, not knowing whether they were missing the days when she was at work or missing her father whom she had not seen for many days.

"So you compromised with him and became a policeman?" Li Li still didn't understand.

"If I can only choose one, then between proving my self-worth and my life ideals, I would rather choose to prove my value to him." Kong Zhixi also knew that this was a compromise, but one of the father and daughter had to bow his head. It is impossible to have your cake and eat it too.

"I played a suspense game before, but it seems that there has been no updates since then. I think the idea of ​​​​it is very similar to my usual investigation." Li Li suddenly remembered the game he had played before.

"I have designed a game like this before, but I'll just give up on it later because I'm going to take the civil service exam." No one knew whether it was because there was no pressure from her father in the world now or she had let it go, but she felt relieved when she talked about this.

Xiao Zhao sent Zhang Xianhao's photo. After the two showed the photo to the lady at the front desk, the lady made a phone call and told them that they were on the 19th floor, at a company called Great Wall Electronics. The two took the elevator to the 19th floor and found Great Wall Electronics. While talking to the lady at the front desk, Kong Zhixi saw that it was Guan Yanan's aunt who was sitting in the office area.

Yanan's aunt thought that he was here to see her, so she walked to the front desk, said hello, and led the two of them to the meeting room. Before entering the meeting room, Li Li suddenly shouted behind them: "Stop, why are you running?" This shout attracted everyone's attention, and they turned around to see that the person he caught was Zhang Xianhao.

The four people sat in the conference room, looking at each other. "Why are you running?" Li Li yelled at Zhang Xianhao.

"Officer, I...I didn't run away...I just wanted to go out for a cigarette." You could see that he was very nervous. He touched his earlobe from time to time. He had an earring in one ear.

Kong Zhixi whispered something to Aunt Yanan, and Aunt Yanan went out and closed the door of the conference room.

"Tell me, why did you run away when you saw us?" This time Li Li returned to his usual interrogation tone.

"I'm afraid..." He didn't dare to look into Li Li's eyes, but just lowered his head. Kong Zhixi frowned. It was the first time she saw such a cowardly man.

"What are you afraid of?" Li Li was also a little annoyed and asked with a frown.

"I heard about Yanan's situation." This man was probably afraid, so he spoke in a very slow voice.

"Then tell me clearly..." Li Li was getting increasingly angry. Kong Zhixi pressed his arm and asked, "How did you get to know Yanan?"

"I heard about it from his aunt, my colleague Zhou Yunqin, so I introduced Jiahui to tutor him in chemistry." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Kong Zhixi who was asking the question.

"Is that all?" The two suspected that Zhang Xianhao should be Guan Yanan's sexual partner.

"I...I didn't kill him, officer." He was a little panicked, his eyes began to redden, and he grabbed Li Li's hand, trying to convince people.

"Why did you run away if you didn't kill him?" Li Li looked at him, hoping to uncover the truth. "I... me and him... our relationship is hard to explain." His embarrassed look confirmed Li Li and the others' guess.

"What relationship?" Although Li Li guessed it, he still wanted to hear the specific relationship from him personally.

"We are... a couple." Zhang Xianhao lowered his head and replied in shame. "Did you know he was underage?" Li Li returned to the expression he had during the interrogation.

"I know, but officer, you have to believe me, I didn't force him, really, I swear!" He held up four fingers and swore to the sky. "Then why did he commit suicide?" Li Li raised his voice again, and Kong Zhixi pressed his arm and persuaded him to calm down.

"I... I don't know. He was fine a few days ago, but... he just complained to me that he didn't want to go to school and said he was under a lot of pressure, that's all." His voice was trembling, and if he wasn't in the conference room, he would probably have knelt down.

"Does Zhou Yunqin know about your relationship?" Kong Zhixi asked this time. "No...I don't know. We are very careful every time we meet, and the time we meet is not long."

"So Guan Yanan's mother doesn't know either?"

"Yes." He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his voice was no longer so shaky.

"Does he usually tell you about school?"

"Yes, but he said that school is very stressful and he doesn't want to go to school."

The door of the conference room was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black suit pants, and a party badge on his chest came in. He held a notebook with a pen in his left hand and a briefcase in his right hand, as if he had just returned from a meeting outside. Zhang Xianhao was so scared that he stood up all of a sudden, and the back of his stool hit the wall behind him, making a banging sound.

"What happened?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Leader...it's okay. The police just want to get some information from me. It's...about Xiao Zhou's nephew." Zhang Xianhao stood tremblingly and answered cautiously.

"Oh, then Xiao Zhang, you should cooperate well. After that, come to my office later." The middle-aged man left without closing the door. Kong Zhixi closed the door again and continued to ask, "Did you tell me why you feel so stressed?"

"Yanan's academic performance has always been poor, but his mother has been pressuring him to study and sent him to a school like that. He doesn't adapt well to that school, and... and he feels that many people look down on him. He actually has a strong self-esteem." Zhang Xianhao seemed more nervous at this moment, and he seemed unwilling to end the interrogation as soon as possible.

"How long have you been dating?" Kong Zhixi wanted to know if Zhang Xianhao really understood him.

"More than a year."

"Why do you think he committed suicide?"

"I don't know, I...I also want to know why?" He actually started crying.
