Broken Xu

The legs hanging on Duan Jieling were directly shaken off. He stared straight at Xu Chi's back, and couldn't help but think that this kid is really good enough to live like a happy little idiot every day. I couldn't help laughing.

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

"Think about something casually." Duan Jieling suddenly changed the subject, "You have been in the police force for a few months now, and you may be able to become a regular after handling a few more cases. Have you thought about things after the internship period?"

Xu Chi put down his oars and sat beside Duan Jieling, with a rare serious expression: "If possible, I'm quite a lifelong apprentice of Master..."

For some unknown reason, Duan Jieling couldn't bear to say these words in the current atmosphere, as if a situation he had no ability to control was about to appear, but he was not yet ready to deal with it.Duan Jieling didn't like this feeling very much. It happened that the boat floated to the shore by itself, and he didn't even want to get off the boat first.

Xu Chi knew that he had acted too hastily, but he couldn't help it, liking, adoration, and possessiveness were like bubbles in carbonated drinks, even if he suppressed one, the other would float up, not to mention he couldn't restrain one.

Xu Chi strode forward and quickly caught up with Duan Jieling, and the two walked side by side: "Master, why are you walking so fast, I didn't even catch up with you."

Given that there is no reason not to go down the steps, even though they all know it well, they are unwilling to reveal some things, Duan Jieling replied: "I'm a little seasick, I'll come down for a walk."

"I was joking just now. In fact, I want to be a criminal policeman who can uphold justice, a criminal policeman who can make my parents and you proud of me, and a criminal policeman who can be worthy of himself." Xu Chi said as he walked.

"Then I wish you in advance to achieve your goal."

Xu Chi shook his head, and then continued: "I don't want the present blessing, I want you to see with your own eyes that I have become good enough, strong enough, enough...to be trusted..."

The last soft words entered Duan Jieling's ears. He didn't know why he always felt that the subject of the last sentence was talking about himself. He felt that half of his ears were numb, like an ant crawling in gently, and you can't control it if you can't catch it. Unable to cope with this situation, Duan Jieling also lowered his voice: "Okay, I'll wait..."

"Cough" came a light cough, and the two looked up. It turned out that they had unknowingly reached the entrance of the hotel, and at the entrance of the hotel was Chen Chuan standing with Zhao Hong on his shoulders.

I don't know why Duan Jieling met Zhao Hong's playful expression as soon as he looked up, and he immediately entered the hotel first.Just as Xu Chi wanted to catch up, Zhao Hong stopped him, "Tell me?"

Chen Chuan didn't know, so he got between Xu Chi and Zhao Hong: "Brother, let's order Erguotou and have some mutton skewers?"

Without even discussing, the two of them pushed away the hands on their shoulders at the same time, and said together: "Get lost!"

Leaving Chen Chuan behind, Xu Chi took Zhao Hong and walked along the river. Zhao Hong found a fence and leaned against it: "How is today?"

"Brother Zhao, I think I'm patient enough, but I always want to get closer and closer, I..." Xu Chi lowered his head a little annoyed.

Zhao Hong sat on the fence with a backhand, and looked at Xu Chi in front of him, which was very similar to himself at the beginning, but what he had more than him was control, but this kind of control was the source of his pain. Be as brave as Xu Chi, at least you will have no regrets...

Zhao Hong pondered for a while and said: "It's a matter of time, the captain is actually a child, for a child, as long as you give him the most wanted 'candy' every time he is sad or happy, he will rely on you wholeheartedly. "

Xu Chi didn't answer any more, because he knew that things were far from that simple. He couldn't figure out the captain, didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't know if a man who had worked as an adult would be willing to accompany him to such a nonsense. , he squatted weakly by the fence and stared at the boat they had been on in the evening, his heart was as erratic as that boat.

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted the silence, and Xu Chi picked up the phone: "Captain..."

"Where did you go?" After Duan Jieling took a shower, he realized that Xu Chi didn't know where he had gone, so he waited and waited for no one to be seen, so he had to make a phone call.

"Just come out and buy a bottle of water." Xu Chi wanted to complete the conversation, and said, "Captain, what do you want?"

Duan Jieling was relieved all of a sudden, and his words began to rambling: "I can't let you bring a condom back, there is no one to use it."

According to the past, Xu Chi would definitely laugh at this not-so-funny joke, but he didn't want to do that today, he didn't say a word, and waited for the person on the other end of the phone to think for himself.

Xu Chi's silence made Duan Jieling a little at a loss, he hurriedly said "bring me a bottle of water too" and hung up the phone.Duan Jieling stared at the boiling hot water coming out of the hotel, completely unaware of what he was thinking when he said bring a bottle of water.

As if realizing something, Duan Jieling unplugged the kettle socket and poured scalding hot water into the toilet, leaving only the kettle steaming alone.

After Xu Chi hung up the phone, Zhao Hong asked, "Captain?"

"Well, he asked me to go back early."

Zhao Hong jumped off the fence: "Let's go?"

"The captain said he wants to drink mineral water, I have to go to the supermarket first."

Zhao Hong seemed to have heard some joke: "Who are you talking about? Captain? Drinking mineral water? It's funny."

Xu Chi didn't understand, so he asked, "What happened to the mineral water?"

"I remember that when I first joined the police force, I went on a mission. I caught a suspect and ran away for more than an hour on a hot day. It was so hot that I bought a bottle of mineral water. I was scolded by the captain for a long time. He said that the cold water in the police force is much better than this. What’s so good about this mineral water, it’s not nutritious.”

Zhao Hong looked at Xu Chi's expression of disbelief, and continued: "You don't believe me, I was so annoyed to death at the time, the elders have so many things, and then I found out that the captain never drinks mineral water, even if he is thirsty. Only buy Master Kong, so I could see that the captain was stingy."

After Zhao Hong finished speaking, she came to her senses: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The captain definitely didn't mean to say this. What did you two just say?"

Being reminded like this, he seems to have realized something, such ambiguous conversations, such an awkward atmosphere, maybe, he is... shy...

"Brother Zhao, I'm going back first, I have something to do..."

Zhao Hong waved his hands with a look of understanding.

Xu Chi ran all the way back to the hotel and squatted in front of the door.After deliberating for a while, the door card was inserted. The room was pitch black. Xu Chi couldn't help a wry smile. The captain was still unwilling to make it clear. He sat on his bed, stared at the figure falling to the other side, and said silently. A "good night".

——

Xu Chi didn't sleep almost all night, and planned to question the man when he woke up, but after seeing such flattering eyes, he couldn't force himself to harden his heart, so he had to follow him.

Duan Jieling avoided Xu Chi's gaze, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going today?"

"Go to the post office, wash up and leave." After Xu Chi finished speaking, he took the lead into the bathroom, leaving Duan Jieling in place.

Duan Jieling was left behind, he knew that normally Xu Chi would chatter and circle around him, but suddenly it was cold today, he was at a loss what to do, he didn't know what went wrong, he just It doesn't feel good to know that.

After Xu Chi washed up, he walked to the side of the suitcase and began to choose clothes, without even giving Jieling a chance to talk.He even sat in the front seat when taking a taxi, leaving Duan Jieling with a back view.

Entering the post office is where the sales are, and there are all kinds of stamps.Moreover, they were all old, so Xu Chi's attention was instantly attracted. He always liked to collect some things, and now he couldn't move his feet.

He was attracted by a postage stamp, an old and broken one, and he immediately paid for it.

Duan Jieling walked in front, and felt that he was overthinking when he was blown by the wind. He happened to see Xu Chi buying something, and walked to his side: "What did you buy?"

Xu Chi handed the stamp to the counter staff, and then pushed Duan Jieling to go elsewhere: "I didn't buy anything."

Xu Chi and Duan Jieling staggered the distance, and the two walked so steadily that Duan Jieling finally couldn't help but ask, "Where are Zhao Hong and Chen Chuan?"

"Let's go play, Master, don't you want to be with me?"

His words seemed to suggest something, but Duan Jieling could only ignore this question, and he seemed to turn to another topic inadvertently: "Where are you going?"

Seeing him like this, Xu Chi knew that Duan Jieling had created some 'estrangement' for him, so he could only cooperate with the acting: "It's almost noon, we'll go to Dye Cloth Workshop after we have some dinner."

Duan Jieling knew that the topic had been taken away, so he continued, "What's that place for?"

"Probably the place where the cloth is dyed." Xu Chi's interest was not high, he didn't want to start or fight with him, it was the truest portrayal of Duan Jieling's heart, but he still wanted to go a little further... What should we do?

a side story

Ten years later, Duan Jieling received the courier. After opening it, it was an old postage stamp with yellowed and rotted edges. It could only be vaguely recognized as a sketched peach.

He suddenly felt a little nonsensical, he didn't know who sent such a thing as a spoof, he picked up the envelope and was about to throw it away.A note slipped out of it.

To my peaches:

I fell in love with you 10 years ago, hopelessly.

I guess we must have two endings now, love each other or never get in touch with each other.

But let me make a good calculation. When you receive this letter, you are quietly getting up and preparing to go out to buy groceries, and I am still sleeping late. You must not know the origin of this stamp.

First punch you and forget that we traveled to Wuzhen together, and then hug you. I bought this for you at that time.You must be very curious about why it is a peach, let’s not talk about it, hehe.

Speaking of this, you should have guessed who I am, I am Xu Chi, if we never see each other, I hope you know that I liked you.

In the end, I didn't know what to say.

I hope that Duan Jieling who received this letter can live a healthy, happy and safe life.

After reading the letter, Duan Jieling walked into the bedroom and shook Xu Chi awake: "What do you mean by peach?"

Xu Chi was half asleep and half awake, muttering, "You are my peach."

"why?"

"Pink, piercing, but so soft-hearted." Xu Chi dimly put his arms around Duan Jieling's shoulders, and dragged him down, "Give me a kiss, let me kiss you."

Duan Jieling was half pushed and pressed on the bed, completely put aside the grocery shopping, and enjoyed this intoxicating lust.
