How to pursue a fine point

Chapter 29

"Where are you going to run, where are you going to hide!?"

The inexplicable question turned Dr. Ji from surprise to anger. He wanted to break free from Su's hand, but the other party was holding on tightly like a rogue: "I said I'm sorry, but you can't forgive me?"

"I also said..."

"Don't say that there is no need to apologize. I did it, so I have to apologize. You beat you so badly, hate me. Hey, you were so stubborn at the time, didn't you add fuel to the fire?"

"Feel sorry."

"Damn, I apologized to you, why did you say sorry to me instead?" Su smiled and sat up: "You old man is not so stingy."

"of course."

Su let go of his hand, and Dr. Ji kneaded the wrist that was scratched, and squinted at Su: "Is it better for us to keep a distance? After all, I'm not Ji Xu."

"Of course I know you're not Brother Ji. Dr. Ji, I asked directly. Why did you open the Qianling Tomb? If you think you are Emperor Linwen, you won't dig your own tomb."

Dr. Ji frowned and did not answer.

"Yeah, pretend I didn't ask." Su thought for a while and said, "I heard that the Ji family has a rule that the whole family must celebrate the New Year together. You have never celebrated the New Year, right? Shall I take you to see it?" one time?"

"Do you often say things like this to coax girls?"

Su's staring eyes became playful.Ji Xu also said similar things, but they felt completely different when they said these words.When Ji Xu spoke, his voice was raised, confident and mocking.But this Dr. Ji said such words in his calm and cold voice that seemed to be stating the facts, just like a child in trouble. Su thought about it, and when he looked at his face, he found it extremely ridiculous.

"Ahem, I do say it often."

Sure enough, he would be faintly dissatisfied.The expression is slightly trembling fingers and slightly pursed lips.

Next, Dr. Ji stood up: "I'm going back."

"Don't go, I'll take you to see the New Year."

"I'm not curious." He put it this way: "I'm not curious about any of this. I'm satisfied as long as I know what I want to know."

The indifference that shuts out all good intentions. Su also stood up: "Even if you follow me, why don't you go?"

As if convinced by his self-confidence, Dr. Ji did not reply.

Su smiled lightly, grabbed Dr. Ji's wrist, and the place where he was arrested fell into the clutches of the devil again.Only this time, Su didn't use any more force, and gently held and pulled the man forward.

"Don't be kidding, it's already so late, and I don't know how to celebrate the New Year? So what, today is not New Year's Eve." He stood still, refusing to move a step, only looking at Su: "You I know the thoughts, don’t worry, Su. I will definitely disappear, and when I have no thoughts, I will disappear forever.”

He said that he was like a ghost left in the world, just to complete his last obsession. Su's hand was withdrawn immediately, "I really want to apologize."

"I forgive you." Dr. Ji said.

This man seemed to be begging for his life, Su felt sorry for him.Such a humble gesture reminded Su of the time when Ji Xu was alone under the pressure of the family and brought everything.

Perhaps, this Dr. Ji was Ji Xu at that time.

In my heart, I look forward to the care and love of others, but I reject it, looking for the meaning of existence, and allowing myself to support myself to live.

He is afraid of himself, afraid of the surroundings, willing to live in fabricated stories.

"Sorry, I forced you again."

Silent, silent in the falling snow.

"I'm afraid I'm not who you think. I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter whether you are right or not, all of this has nothing to do with you, I just need to confirm it."

After saying this, Dr. Ji turned around and walked in the direction of Shen's house.

This is a completely different back view from Ji Xu, he would occasionally look sideways at Xue, as if lost in memory.

This feeling of isolating oneself is caring.

In the beginning, it was this kind of breath that attracted Suyi to follow him again and again, but he couldn't get into his heart.

Su raised his hand, and the snowflakes that fell on his palm melted into water almost immediately, and Su's palm was wet after a while.

"Dr. Ji! Next time we meet, let's be friends."

The figure in front turned around, he seemed to be hesitating, but finally nodded and said, "Okay."

With the sound of good, there was a gust of north wind blowing snowflakes.

He opened the door and entered the house, leaving the rest of the ice and snow world to Su alone.

In the silent compound, there were only a few lights left.

Su patted his face, his hands felt cold.He walked slowly towards the house, and as he got closer, he heard more and more obvious quarrels.

The deliberately lowered voices made it difficult for Su to hear what the two sides were saying, but the voices were extremely familiar.

——It was his brother and Li Xuan.

Walking around the corner, I saw two people standing face to face from a distance.His brother's face was full of impatience, as if he was warning something, while Li Xuan had an expression that was unclear.

That look didn't seem like it should be on his face.

——The corner of the mouth on one side slanted, as if hearing some big joke, but the eyes were full of disappointment.

Su saw his brother finished speaking, Li Xuan spread his hands and nodded, then his brother turned and left.

Su dodged sideways, not letting Jiang Er find himself.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Su came out from the side, and saw Li Xuan leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette from a distance.

Su thought for a while, walked over, grabbed the cigarette in Li Xuan's hand and bit it against his mouth: "It's a fucking bad feeling to be suspected by a brother, isn't it?"

Li Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You deliberately misunderstood your brother, didn't you? San'er, I'm not sorry, I'm going to get married in the future. Your brother's temper, if you get in a hurry, the whole courtyard will know. I still need a face."

"You can do both for your brother."

"I stabbed you twice!" Li Xuan took back the cigarette from Su's mouth and threw it on the ground.

"Brother Li, you wanted to get married with our old Jiang family at the beginning. It's a pity that my sister got married. If you want you to get married in the future, I will give you a big gift."

"Just because of your words, I have to end it sooner."

Li Xuan shook his hand and went back to the house.

But Su's heart is heavy, his brother's protective character, even Li Xuan can't worry about this matter, let alone Ji Xu.

It seems that it is better not to tell the family prematurely.

Ji Xu's problem has not been resolved yet, and Su's heart is still in a state of turmoil.

The snow fell harder and harder, and Su's hair was already completely wet when he returned to the house.All the lights in the room were turned off, and it was pitch black, only my own room could still see some light.

In the past few days, Jiang's family lived happily. Committee member Jiang recovered from a serious illness, and Jiang Er came back from the local area. In addition to the New Year, more people gave gifts.Accompanying and greeting guests, Su is also very tired.

He always said: "Our family is all about official affairs and speaks in an official accent. Fortunately, I can turn around when we are alone, otherwise we will have to be tired and sick."

"Your brother is the leader in the local area, how can this relationship not be handled properly?"

How could Su not know that his brother had worked so hard, and he really had a breeze in his sleeves.A lot of people were offended by this, but fortunately his father covered it, otherwise he would have been exiled for a long time.But even so, it is uncertain when he will be able to return to Beijing again.

The Li and Shen families have no successors. Uncle Shen has been in the capital for several years, and his position has been secured a lot. Everyone is looking at Jiang Er.The higher ups kept that if Jiang Er himself could get on well with him, he would be able to return to Beijing within three or four years.

"My brother has a bright future. Dad, you have to take care of your health."

"Your brother has a bright future, how about you?"

"Me too. I won't say how good the business is now, but I'm finally famous."

His father laughed and didn't say much.Turning around to see Jiang Ya sitting aside teasing the child, she frowned.

Su knew that his older sister really made his parents worry.

"Dad, I'm going hunting tomorrow, why don't we go together."

"Don't harm me, let alone your brother."

Su stuck out his tongue, "Yes, yes, I forgot. I'll go by myself. I'll have a social event at home tomorrow. You have to let my sister block the front. My sister's public relations skills are definitely the best in our family."

"Then let me see."

Su smiled at Jiang Ya, and Jiang Ya nodded gratefully.On the second day, Su Da slipped out of the house early in the morning and disappeared, leaving all the family affairs to Jiang Ya.

Su was still a little nervous when he drove downstairs to Ji Xu's house. He was making a temporary appointment, and he didn't know if the other party would accept it.

As soon as the call was answered, Su said without waiting for anyone to speak, "Come on, let's go hunting."

There was silence for a while, then hung up the phone.

He didn't even say a good word, Su didn't bother to think about it, he leaned on the driver's seat and waited for someone to come out.He didn't turn his head to look until the car door was opened.

The guy looked smart in leather boots and a jacket. Su Chaoren smiled, and wanted to say something funny, but he saw him get into the car silently and fasten his seat belt.

When Su saw him like this, he secretly thought it was not good.

Seems to have dated the wrong person.

I wanted to honestly say what was in my heart, but after thinking about it again, I guessed that the next time I met and became friends, it seemed a bit inhuman to break up the relationship now, so I had to pull on the handbrake, start the car, and head towards the hunting ground in the suburbs of Beijing.

Unaccustomed to the other party's silence, Su said, "Does Dr. Ji also like hunting?"

"I don't like it, I've played it a few times."

"Oh." That means hunting is indeed Ji Xu's own hobby. Su felt relieved: "This is an artificial hunting ground, no different from the ones you used to play. I don't know if the prey is stupid or not in this winter. Don't disappoint."

"Are you still open for business during Chinese New Year?"

"360 days a year, [-] days, not one day closed. Great place."

Dr. Ji nodded. Seeing his indifferent look, Su said, "Don't you like to go?"

"No, it's just that it's not as interesting as before, and Dongshou seems boring."

Su stepped on the brake immediately, and looked at Dr. Ji curiously: "What do you say is interesting, show me something?"

"I don't have any special hobbies. Horseback riding and archery can be counted. It's too cold for horseback riding in winter. Do you want to go archery?"

Su thought to himself, they all used shotguns for hunting. Could it be that Dr. Ji doesn't like shotguns?If you haven't tried archery yet, you can try it.

"Okay, I shoot ten rings, I haven't tried archery yet. Can you show me the way?"

Dr. Ji thought for a while, then suddenly unbuckled his seat belt: "Let me drive."

After exchanging places, Ji Xu drove steadily towards a dojo in the city.

It's not that Su doesn't know this kind of place, it's just that he's not too interested in this kind of culture. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a few middle school students in Taoist uniforms.When the two sides met, they nodded and said hello.

Su looked at Dr. Ji strangely. He took off his boots, opened the cabinet door very familiarly, and put the shoes in.Then he led Su to the inside.

It is a place with a fairly large area.

Traditional Han-style bows and arrow targets, a row of students in white Taoist uniforms draw their bows and prepare to shoot.

Hearing the coach's shout, the feather arrows shot out with different results.

"There are still students here during Chinese New Year?"

"It's all hobbies, and this can't be counted as a specialty to add points to the college entrance examination."

Su looked at Dr. Ji in surprise, never expecting him to say such a thing.Just as he was about to say something, the coach turned around and smiled at the two of them. Su thought to himself, isn't this the guy who struck up a conversation in the folk town.

The guy said something to the students and walked towards them.Wearing a Taoist uniform, he took the water from the assistant coach and smiled as he walked: "Ji Xu, are you free today? Will the game you mentioned last time continue?"

"No, bring a friend over today."

The guy looked at Su, and suddenly said in surprise: "Isn't this the great photographer Su? I know him, he's awesome, and I'm his fan. Ji Xu, he's your friend, you didn't tell me earlier."

"I didn't know you were his fan."

"Sign me your name."

Facing this man's enthusiasm, Su felt embarrassed to put on a cold face, the corners of his mouth raised, and the spring breeze turned into rain: "Okay, this is the first time I have touched archery, you can get a guide."

"That's easy to say, my name is Shen Xi." He smiled and shook hands with Su, "Let's put on the Dao uniform first."

The author has something to say: The second Ji Xu...
