Fire to the Abyss

A week later, Xia Lin's internship in the Chengzhou detachment finally came to an end. Xia Yan fulfilled his promise and invited everyone to have a meal in the Yanxi Building. After spending more than half a month's salary, he finally sent Xia Lin away like a Buddha.Before Lu Yuan said that Zero would take action, Xia Yan instinctively thought that Zero's action was aimed at Xia Lin, and he was most likely to be attacked when he came to the detachment to commute to and from work every day.

It has been more than half a month since I got the information from Lu Yuan. Xu Luo dutifully drove Xia Yan to and from get off work every day, but the days were unexpectedly calm, without any ripples, and Xia Yan's hanging heart gradually let go.He thought that maybe he was too insidious, and no one stipulated that Zero had to target Xia Lin.

After Xia Lin left, Xia Yan's schedule lacked the item of being bullied by his younger brother, making it even more empty.Criminal cases do not happen every day, so Xia Yan shifted his attention to his new partner Liang Song.

While Xia Yan continued to secretly observe Liang Song, the new godmother didn't stop, and started the matchmaking business without a teacher. Using the contacts accumulated in her square dancing career, she recruited a large number of single young women of the right age. information, after layers of screening, finally finalized a [-]% blind date partner.

Under the continuous bombardment of more than ten phone calls a day, Xia Yan finally succumbed.It has to be said that since having a godmother, Xia Yan's happiness level has risen in a straight line except for the food, and the phone bill has also increased a lot.The godmother invited the two brothers of the Xia family to dinner every now and then, and Xia Lin went there once when Xia Lin was not in class. They soon became familiar.When Mrs. Zheng learned that Xia Lin didn't have a partner, she thought about buying one and getting one free, and picked a one-hundred-point partner for Xia Lin as well, which was unanimously opposed by the three people present.

Xia Yan's reason is basically the same as Xia Lin's, free love is glorious, and Zheng Xing's reason is that the old woman is about to go mad, and she can't be so idle.

Mrs. Zheng pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, saying, "This is my right job", but she gave up amidst the righteous words of the three of them, and focused on conquering Xia Yan.

This day, Xia Yan listened to her godmother's words, and put on the outfit she personally chose—a light yellow shirt inside, and a retro crimson plaid casual suit outside. A serious blind date.

As soon as he reached the door of the detachment, Liang Song also came out.Liang Song was putting on his coat and walking outside. When he put on his clothes and raised his head, his expression froze on his face. Two seconds later, Liang Song said, "Captain Xia, I haven't seen you for a while and I changed my clothes. Why, go Blind date?"

Why are this person's eyes so poisonous!

Xia Yan twitched and replied: "...Well, that's right, what about my body?"

Liang Song looked Xia Yan up and down, stretched out his hand and stroked his head twice, smoothed out the poked hair, and said very sincerely: "You are so handsome, really."

After finishing speaking, he patted Xia Yan on the shoulder and walked straight out, but he still couldn't hold back his laughter after walking two steps.Xia Yan took out his mobile phone suspiciously, took the screen as a mirror and looked up and down. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he decided to ignore Liang Song's strange behavior.

The meeting place was chosen by the woman. It was at the entrance of a bourgeois-style Qing bar. As soon as Xia Yan saw the name of the bar, he knew the name of the place was Lu.

The name of the bar is Aeolos, the god of wind in Greek mythology. It is the only bar named after a male god under Boss Lu, and it is also the only place where Xia Yan has contributed to the turnover.This place is fundamentally different from the bars named after the goddesses. It is no longer a place of feasting and sensuality, but a quiet place with charm.

The bar is not in the downtown area, but at the end of a well-known pedestrian street in Chengzhou City.On both sides of the pedestrian street, there are two rows of fatongs whose average age is much higher than that of most humans. Although the shops on the street have different styles, they are generally close to the retro literary style, which is why they are well-known among major universities.Every weekend, many college students bring photographic equipment worth several months of living expenses and good-looking male and female classmates, let the models pose on the benches or stone steps with decadent aesthetics, and look forward to taking a group of groups to escape from the hustle and bustle. literary blockbuster.

Because of this, the prices of surrounding shops have risen. A postcard with a specimen of a sycamore leaf dipped in various potions can actually sell for an outrageous double-digit rate.Fortunately, the business hours of Aeolos are basically staggered from those of mainstream shops such as cafes and handicraft stores. The customer flow is not large, and the price is therefore more affordable. This is also one of the reasons why Xia Yan visits occasionally. Xia Yan is the only one who is not satisfied. The bad news is that there is no smoking here.

Because of Friday, when Xia Yan parked his car and walked slowly to the pedestrian street, the shops on both sides were still closed, and the craft shops were filled with all kinds of customers, the ratio of male to female was about one to ten.Xia Yan still doesn't understand how those beautiful but useless things occupy such a high place in the girls' hearts. Although there are thousands of reluctances in his heart, when he receives the news from the blind date, he is still ready to accompany the other party. Be prepared to swim in the slightly crowded sea of ​​literature and art, even if the swimming fee is expensive.

Unexpectedly, after Xia Yan successfully connected with the girl at the entrance of the bar, the girl raised her eyes and glanced at him, then lazily said: "You are here, go in and sit down."

The girl was only as high as Xia Yan's shoulders. She was wrapped in a white woolen overcoat, her hair was standard big waves, and a pair of shiny earrings hung on her ears. Unsightly, oval face with round eyes is the type that makes people feel very comfortable.According to the information obtained from the godmother, the girl's name is Yin Le'er, and she is a distant relative of an aunt in the square dance team of the godmother who went around nine twists and eighteen turns to catch her. She is an ordinary 27 who can be seen everywhere and has a rich family year old girl.Of course, the Wanguan family property only belonged to the father, and the girl didn't seem to intend to inherit the family business, so she came to Chengzhou City alone to work hard, and her current job is the front desk of a certain enterprise.

Perhaps it was Yin Leer's idealistic spirit of not being burdened by the family business and unswervingly chasing dreams that moved Mrs. Zheng, and she chose Yin Leer against all odds.

Aeoles is undoubtedly the most elegant bar under Lu Yuan's name. The incense here is the same as that used in Lu Yuan's villa. There is no extra smell of smoke or perfume, and it smells very comfortable.Yin Le'er chose a seat on the second floor by the window, where she could take care of the band playing light music in the center and the night view outside the window.The painted patterns on the floor and the colored glass on the ceiling complement each other, with a few wisps of slow-moving white lights interspersed in the middle, which has a romantic and charming beauty.A hydroponic mint plant is placed on the solid wood table, which can be used as an ornamental or as an embellishment for wine.

Facts have proved that Mrs. Zheng's vision is quite unique, and Xia Yan and Yin Le'er are quite compatible in all aspects. After chatting for almost an hour, the two have made rapid progress in calling each other brothers.The two hit it off immediately, and artificially twisted a blind date into a gathering of netizens drinking and punching, and they still drank martinis.

After a few rounds, the waiter had started looking at them strangely.

The main reason is probably Yin Leer's otherworldly dream - to be a professional e-sports player.The reason why she worked as a receptionist in the company was also because a player she liked was working there. Her main purpose was to recruit people to form a team with her.

Most of the rich girls who are the same age as Yin Leer spend most of their time in beauty salons, luxury stores, or some business gatherings. Yin Leer is the unique fireworks. In Internet cafes, it is still the kind of black Internet cafes where you can surf the Internet without an ID card.I don't know if it's because of being in Internet cafes all year round, but Yin Le'er's behavior is quite rough, she has bridged the gap between gender and situation, and basically can communicate with Xia Yan with zero barriers.

It's just that the family obviously couldn't accept Yin Leer's avant-garde dream. After a few quarrels with her father, Yin Leer packed her bags and started chasing her dream.Fortunately, she has a strong ability to take care of herself since she was a child, and quickly adapted to a new life alone. Her parents couldn't squeeze her. Seeing that she took care of herself well by herself, she gradually felt relieved and adopted a free-range model for her.But there is one thing, the marriage must be arranged by the parents, so there is such a blind date. According to Yin Leer, she sacrificed the precious time of team training to go on the blind date.

After hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't laugh or cry. He probably would never meet another girl in his life who regarded professional gamers as his lifelong pursuit.As a normal brat, Xia Yan was naturally obsessed with various games when he was young, and the two of them had a heated chat about martini, only a plate of peanuts was missing.When the chat got excited, Yin Le'er took out a PSP from her bag and demonstrated it to Xia Yan on the spot.Xia Yan watched suspiciously. After 10 minutes, he called "Brother Le" very sincerely.

Because it took only 10 minutes for her to clear the level that Xia Yan had been stuck for several months, and she played it very beautifully.

After watching Yin Leer's dazzling performance, Xia Yan concluded: "I think your dream might come true."

Yin Le'er drank the third glass of cocktail in one gulp, and said happily, "That's right, I recognize you as my brother."

This is how revolutionary friendship was built.

Not long after, a black car slowly drove into the parking lot, and a tall man stepped out of the car.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I've been waiting!!!"

Yin Le'er's sudden roar startled Xia Yan, and also successfully attracted the attention of other customers around.

Yin Le'er didn't care at all, she watched the man in the parking lot slowly walking towards the store through the window, her eyes lit up, and she drank the fourth glass of wine in one gulp, "Xia Yan, it's time for you to show off, you now To be my wingman, I will organize the method of passing the level and send it to you later."

Xia Yan immediately nodded in agreement, and then glanced around with eyes that seemed to be saying "what are you looking at, have you never seen a mentally retarded?", turning everyone's eyes back.

"It's like this," Yin Le'er put down her wine glass, and said quickly, "Not long ago, I fell in love with a man at first sight on the way to work. I asked a lot of friends to help me, so I got the news that he would come to this bar occasionally. I have been guarding this for a week, and I saw his car coming in just now, I must seize the opportunity to ask him for his contact information today, so you have to help me."

Xia Yan was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, and it took a few seconds for her to understand the meaning of her words, his expression became a little psychedelic: "You have someone you fall in love with at first sight and come on a blind date? Also, don't you say that you sacrifice time for team training? here?"

"Masters, don't care about these details! The blind date was forced by my mother, what can I do? Just say whether you can help me or not?"

Xia Yan hesitated for a second, recalled Yin Le'er's virtuoso performance, and firmly chose the game strategy, since she would not be a marriage partner anyway.

"...Girls should pay attention to what they say, but I have only helped them chase girls. How can I help you?"

Yin Le'er leaned forward and stared at him with some malicious intent: "You are a policeman, so you should be good at beating, right?"

Xia Yan nodded.

"Then if he doesn't give you the contact information later, you'll show your fists and knock him out if you can't."

"Brother, it's not a primitive society anymore. If you're knocked out and dragged back into the cave, that's a crime."

"Of course I know. Why are you a mother-in-law? In short, I will go first. You play it by ear and find a way to keep him... How is my image? Is my hair messy?"

"Hey, well, let's say first that I won't beat people, and you can just say that I'm your brother Wait a minute, it's a little messy here."

Xia Yan stretched out his hand to tuck Yin Le'er's curly hair behind her left ear. Before he could put his hand down, he saw Lu Yuan coming up the stairs from the opposite side through the gap between his fingers.

The eyes of the two seemed to meet for a moment across the long corridor. Xia Yan quickly looked away, then adjusted his sitting posture, minimized the size, tried to let Yin Leer block him, and decided that in the future, when going out on a blind date, he must Check out the calendar first.

If there is a list of acquaintances that you don't want to meet on a blind date, the top of the list must be Lu Yuan. Xia Yan can almost imagine him curling up his mouth and mocking his stinky fart.

"Are you ready? I'm going." Yin Le'er didn't notice Xia Yan's unnatural movements, and was about to get up, but he pressed his shoulder.

"Well, wait a minute, you'd better touch up your makeup, the lipstick fell off."

"Oh, that's right." Yin Le'er hurriedly pulled out the lipstick and small mirror from her bag, and hurriedly touched up her makeup.

Xia Yan folded his arms in front of his cheeks, lowered his head slightly, hid himself behind his palms, and observed the enemy's situation from the corner of his eye.

Lu Yuan walked to the bar and sat down, chatted with the bartender, and the bartender finished two glasses of wine in a very cool way.Then Lu Yuan picked up the small decorative paper umbrella in the tray and opened it, and personally decorated the paper umbrella on the rim of the cup. Then, he put the two glasses of wine in the tray, picked up the tray and walked towards Xia Yan. .

Xia Yan: Damn it!Is it too late to run now?
