The moment he picked up the wine glass, Bai Zizheng suddenly had the urge to see Chi Lang immediately.

Maybe it's the feeling that the lover will finally get married, or it's just a pure instinct. I have been single for more than 20 years, but I didn't expect to feel trapped by someone as soon as I fell in love.On the wine table, wine and wine were exchanged, and after the jokes were made between the bride and groom, the seniors began to talk about their work and life again.The oldest person in their table is only in his early 30s. After graduation, some of them have risen to leadership positions, some are still at the grassroots level, and some simply resigned to find other jobs—this is Sometimes you can see a little bit of the difference in personal circumstances.High house prices, household registration for children to go to school, trivial matters for parents, cases that will never be solved... The complaints between men and men aroused great resonance at the wine table.Bai Zizheng hasn't spoken much, and his biggest trouble at this stage can't be mentioned on this occasion, but some people don't want to see him so silent, Senior Brother A said: "Hey, Xiaobai, just listened to us, you recently How are you doing? Jianbin is married now, do you have a girlfriend now? I don’t have a brother to help you introduce two, don’t be polite to me.”

Brother B interrupted him and said: "Come on, Xiaobai is not easy to find a girlfriend. If you have resources, you might as well introduce some to me. Let me tell you, my mother has been nagging since the Chinese New Year. The few days off every month are all used for blind dates, so I haven’t met my eyes yet. The conditions are a little better. When I heard that you are a policeman, they all shrank, saying that the working hours are unstable and too busy. Ah, earning so little, we are still civil servants, why are we so dismissed?"

Brother C said: "Let me tell you, if we are in this line of work, we should find a colleague to save our worries, but think about it, it will be troublesome to have a child in the future, how can we have time to take care of the child?"

Brother A said: "It's okay to find someone who is not on the front line. Parents can help to look at it. If it is impossible to hire a nanny, it will cost more money. The current confinement wife earns more than us in a month." At this moment, I finally discovered the current situation of eight thousand miles away from the topic, and hurriedly said, "I wanted to ask Xiaobai just now, but you all took me away. Hey, Xiaobai, do you have a girlfriend? Don't I'm so sorry."

Bai Zizheng said: "No, I'm too busy with work, I haven't had time to think about it."

Brother B said: "By the way, speaking of work...Xiao Bai, you were the ones who solved the case in the provincial capital six years ago, right? Amazing!"

Senior Brother C said: "Aren't you working in the provincial capital? Why do you have to ask Xiaobai about this?"

Brother B said: "I'm in the branch office. This is the case of the general office. There are a bunch of bosses at the top. What can I know. But having said that, this case is really serious. When he made the most trouble, it happened to be It was the first two years when I was at work, when my nerves were so tense - I had to worry about going to the toilet, I was on 24-hour shifts, and I patrolled the roads where children gather every day, for fear that another child would die silently , Parents cry every day, that's really miserable." He said with a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this case was solved, otherwise many people would not be able to swallow this breath."

Bai Zizheng said: "It's a pity that the murderer is already dead, it's too cheap for him."

Brother B said: "Yes, this kind of person should be paraded in the streets. Hey, let me ask you another question. I heard that Professor Kang's apprentice has been transferred to your place. Is it true?"

Professor Kang's apprentice - it should be Chi Lang.Bai Zizheng didn't know why he suddenly asked this, so he replied: "Really, what happened last month. What's wrong?"

Brother B said: "It's nothing, just ask casually. Xiaobai, have you seen him?"

Bai Zizheng thought to himself that I had seen it before, but he said calmly, "I know an office, Jianbin too."

Senior Brother B said mysteriously: "...Then do you know why he was transferred to Jinnan?"

Bai Zizheng: "..." Senior brother's tone is obviously gossip. Could it be that the news of Chi Lang's coming to Jinnan to fall in love has spread to the branch office in the provincial capital?Immediately, Bai Zizheng felt a sense of embarrassment, so he just said perfunctorily, "I'm not sure, do you have any explanation?"

Brother B said: "Hey, this is all the gossip we heard. It is said that the two masters and apprentices fell out in private, and Professor Kang kicked them out. You said that Professor Kang is so old, why can't he?" Is it time to train a successor? In the past, everyone in the bureau guessed that when Professor Kang retired, this position should be his apprentice sooner or later. Why was he suddenly transferred to Jinnan? An arm? Hey, I'm not saying that your place is not good. It stands to reason that the provincial capital has a better future... This is quite strange, so I just wanted to ask. "

Bai Zizheng sneered from the bottom of his heart, wondering where all this nonsense came from.He doesn't know the specific situation in the provincial capital, and the nature of his work doesn't involve much intrigue at the leadership level, but that doesn't mean he's just an idiot who doesn't understand anything.Kang Zhenying is getting old, and it will be a matter of time before he retires from the front line. Chi Lang's biggest shortcoming is that he is too young. If there are rumors that Kang Zhenying doesn't want to see him again, it will be fine to stay in Jinnan in the future. What if it is after Kang Zhenying retires If he went back to the provincial capital, it would probably be difficult to take over his position as a teacher, and the new leader would not be so close to him, a non-direct subordinate, and it would still be somewhat embarrassing to be overwhelmed.But fortunately, the relationship between their master and apprentice is very solid, and such groundless rumors will soon be self-defeating.Bai Zizheng and Chi Lang have been in love for so many days, so it can be said that he knows his relationship with Kang Zhenying very well.Kang Zhenying is a very kind and kind old man. To Chi Lang, he is not only a respectable teacher but also a relative who can talk about everything.He treats Chi Lang exactly like he treats his own grandchildren. If there is a real conflict, it will probably be a matter of the next life. The actual situation is completely different from what other people imagined.

Bai Zizheng could only say: "Nothing, he has a good relationship with his teacher, and he was transferred to Jinnan for other reasons."

Senior Brother B nodded and said, "That's it." Several people clinked glasses and started discussing the next topic.Bai Zizheng finished the sip of wine in the glass. Although the brother's intention was not to spy on anything, he still felt a subtle unhappiness in his heart. If he hadn't heard someone mention it today, he might not have thought of Chi Lang's tune at all. There are still so many tricks behind coming to Jinnan.At this time, Senior Brother C asked Bai Zizheng to leave him his contact information. Bai Zizheng exchanged his mobile phone number with him, and then sent a WeChat message to Chi Lang, saying that the wedding banquet will end at about 09:30, and asked him if it would be convenient come over here.

Chi Lang's news came back quickly: "What's wrong?"

Bai Zizheng: "I drank some alcohol, so I can't drive."

Chi Lang: "Do you want me to take you home?"

Bai Zizheng: "I won't go back today." He sent the hotel name together with the location.

The guests and the host enjoyed themselves in the room. At 09:30, the wedding banquet was announced to be over. The bride and groom went back to the bridal chamber to celebrate and the guests left one after another after saying their congratulations.Bai Zizheng and Meng Jianbin made an appointment to meet again when they had time, and as soon as they left the banquet hall, they saw Chi Lang waiting for him at the door.The two went to the parking lot together and drove out. On the way back, Bai Zizheng told Chi Lang the news he heard from Senior Brother B. Chi Lang smiled noncommittally and said, "Let them say what they say, I will There is no need to specifically clarify this.”

He knew that Bai Zizheng was worried about his future, but he didn't have much obsession with it: "To be honest, even if I hadn't been transferred to Jinnan, I wouldn't be able to take over the position of teacher in a few years." In fact, he also knew in his heart that Kang Zhenying was indeed too close to him, and in the eyes of those who cared about him, it would inevitably become ironclad evidence of using power for personal gain, "Let's not say that the teacher didn't mean it at all. I have the confidence to say that I am also an authority. Who am I on the list? People who regard me as an imaginary enemy think highly of me." In the final analysis, it is a matter of power. It is unavoidable to use him as a target to insinuate Kang Zhenying's private affairs. It is too much to measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Bai Zizheng said, "Aren't you worried?"

Chi Lang said: "I'm not worried about myself, and the teacher doesn't need me to worry about it. Who do you think nodded and let me come to Jinnan?"

This answer was very confident, and Bai Zizheng felt speechless after hearing it.Chi Lang's transfer to Jinnan is mostly due to personal factors. They are all adults, and they are just talking about drinking water. Of course, he hopes that Chi Lang can have a better development. It may be easier to get promoted if he stays in the provincial capital Some, not to mention Kang Zhenying's biggest help behind it.Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Chi Lang thought he was still struggling with his work, so he deliberately said: "Why, hate iron can't become steel?"

Bai Zizheng said: "No. I'm afraid you won't be able to use it well."

Chi Lang said: "I'm a policeman, and it's the same wherever I solve the case." I think it's time to change the subject, "Didn't you say you can't drink before, why are you drinking again today?"

Bai Zizheng said: "I can't drink it. If I drink it, I can't hide my words." He took a cigarette from the storage compartment and lit it, "Chi Lang, I want to confess to my family."

Perhaps because of the foreshadowing of "bringing you home for dinner" before, the night talk that night was enough for him to figure out some things. Chi Lang was not frightened by Bai Zizheng's declaration this time. "Shut up," he actually understood.He tightened his fingers on the steering wheel, but his tone was much calmer than before: "Xiaobai, it's not that easy to come out, have you figured it out?"

Bai Zizheng said: "I know, so I'm not asking for your opinion, but telling you my decision." The cigarette smoke slowly dispersed in the gap between the two, "And... I hope you Understand, I decided to come out, and the relationship between you and me...isn't the main reason. Take a step back, if I didn't meet you, or we were separated after a few years, I like men. Things will not change, do you think I will still find a woman to marry and have children?"

Chi Lang was silent. He suddenly found that Bai Zizheng always seemed to be calmer and more sober than him in terms of feelings, and he was honest enough to each other most of the time.Maybe he discovered his unknown timidity from the very beginning, so he used this "has nothing to do with you" method to dispel the thought of looking forward and backward in his heart.Chi Lang simply stopped the car on the side of the road, looked into Bai Zizheng's eyes in the colorful night, and said in a low voice: "Xiaobai, I didn't mean that... I have experienced it, so I know it is difficult I have always felt... If it is because of my appearance that you have to make a choice between your family and the future, it is actually quite selfish. But I am not so high-spirited, so let’s separate for your own good, I It can't be done, at least not yet. If it's your decision, I'm not against it...I just hope you don't exclude me, do you understand?"

Bai Zizheng said indifferently: "You finally said it." He stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray on the front of the car, and a tricky smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So I said, I want to take you home for dinner ah."
