Lin Huai bought two ice creams from the store. Because the second one was half price, the price was actually only a few hundred dollars. Chen Shen's request was actually very low.

When he brought the ice cream to Chen Shen, Chen Shen didn't take it right away, he asked, "Which flavor do you like?"

"Vanilla..." Lin Huai was a little surprised, Chen Shen asked, because he planned to give one of them to himself?

Sure enough, Chen Shen took the chocolate-flavored one and said, "Here's the vanilla one, I want you to try it too."

Lin Huai was stunned for a moment. He brought the ice cream to his mouth and licked it. It tasted really good, with a rich milky taste. He whispered thank you.

I thought it would be good for the two men to finish eating the ice cream in silence, but Chen Shen suddenly looked at his ice cream and said, "I suddenly want to try the vanilla one again, why don't we change it?"

Lin Huai instinctively shrank back slightly. Although the expression on his face didn't change much, it was full of rejection at first glance, which surprised Chen Shen.

"Why? Don't you want to?" Chen Shen thought for a while, "You despise my saliva?"

"...No...Yes," Lin Huai closed his eyes, "I'm sorry, I just have these problems...Maybe it's normal for you to exchange food with each other, but I can't, it doesn't matter if you touched mine or I touched it. Yours, I don’t think it’s very good... But it’s not about you, my family and I never do these things, I never touch what others have touched..." Lin Huai said more and more, but he was afraid of himself He couldn't explain clearly, the more he talked, the more stupid he felt.

Chen Shen burst out laughing, interrupting Lin Huai's long speech, he could see that Lin Huai was very nervous, he ran to the nearby cafe, got two plastic spoons miraculously, and gave Lin Huai one Only.

"Is this okay?" Chen Shen put the spoon on Lin Huai's ice cream, as if testing it.

"Yes... yes, I'm sorry..." Lin Huai's forehead was slightly sweating.

Chen Shen scooped up a spoon, put it in his mouth, and then handed his own to Lin Huai. Looking at Lin Huai who was stiff all over, he smiled and said, "Why don't you try mine?"

"Okay." Lin Huai suppressed the guilt and embarrassment in his heart, and dug a piece from the ice cream with a spoon.

"what about the taste?"

"It's pretty good." Lin Huai nodded. Although the snacks he grew up with were the best, he didn't have much pursuit of food, and he seldom touched snacks.

During the conversation, Lin Huai felt that many people's eyes were focused on him. When the two were about to exchange flavors, it seemed that many people were watching them. Sure enough, two big men were standing on the side of the road eating ice cream It was a little strange, he didn't intend to continue to pay attention to it, but he suddenly found a girl in the corner holding up her mobile phone to them, and even pressed the camera button.

Since the incident of the harasser, he is now very sensitive to sneak shots. Although this time the target is a girl, he doesn't want to be shot. Before he can do anything, Chen Shen has already walked over and told the girl What, that girl blushed, but quickly tapped a few times on the phone, said sorry and left in a hurry, which made Lin Huai feel that she was too sensitive.

"Did she delete it?"

"Well, it's deleted, but..." Chen Shen replied, his expression was thoughtful, and he seemed a little puzzled, "She seems to have misunderstood something?"

"What did you misunderstand?" Lin Huai had already eaten half of the ice cream. Sure enough, things like sugar can make people happy.

"She seemed to think we were a couple and wanted to take pictures for her friends."

Lin Huai almost choked on the ice cream. He coughed for a long time. Chen Shen thoughtfully stretched out his hand and patted him on the back a few times. cooperative."

It's not a question of politeness, is it?Can they be misunderstood for exchanging spoons for ice cream?

Lin Huai felt himself slow down: "Eating ice cream together is a normal behavior among colleagues, right?"

"Of course, it's not a big deal to switch directly with each other," Chen Shen said, "Maybe it's because we both look so good, maybe she just wants to take pictures of two handsome guys for her friends to see."

Lin Huai's ears were slightly red. Although he knew that he was good-looking, it still made him a little embarrassed to say it from Chen Shen's mouth.

"Sometimes it's okay for us not to receive people together," Chen Shen said, "but when we received people who came to the police station together, in private, many people told me that they felt that they went to the wrong police station and opened the door in the wrong way. .”

Hearing this, Lin Huai couldn't help laughing, at this moment, the ice cream started to melt, Chen Shen immediately urged him to eat it quickly, Lin Huai nodded.

The two sat here for a while, and it turned out that the high-end shopping malls were constantly troubled. When Chen Shen had just finished eating his ice cream, a woman dressed in expensive clothes came up. Lin Huai was sure that her actual age should be older, the woman glanced at Chen Shen's clothes as if confirming, and asked, "Is little brother waiting for someone?"

Lin Huai felt something was wrong. This woman had specially looked at Chen Shen's clothes, probably because she felt that Chen Shen's current clothes were not in line with the grade here. This woman definitely didn't want to do anything serious.

"No, I bought an ice cream here with my friends, what can I do?" Chen Shen smiled.

The woman got straight to the point, and stuffed a postcard to Chen Shen: "This is my business card. If you need any help, brother, you can talk to me."

"Do I need to pay anything for help?" Chen Shen quickly understood what the other party meant.

Lin Huai looked at this mutual temptation for the purpose of nurturing with a face of embarrassment. He really wanted to escape, but the corridors of high-end shopping malls were empty, and there was nowhere for him to hide.

The woman is not shy: "Be my boyfriend, just accompany me to relieve boredom."

"Plato's?"

The woman laughed out loud, and she raised her eyebrows: "Of course not, is my brother so innocent? Can't tell, or do you think I don't look up to your liking?"

"No, I'm still a virgin, and I'm not proficient in that area." Chen Shen said calmly.

Lin Huai was stunned, he looked at Chen Shen, the latter's expression didn't look like he was joking, is it true?Chen Shen is four years older than him, has been out of society for four or five years, and is still a virgin...?

Unlike Lin Huai's doubts, the woman directly regarded Chen Shen's words as a joke and refused. She didn't feel embarrassed, but nodded, and forcibly stuffed the business card into Chen Shen's coat pocket.

"I don't mind being a virgin. You are the one I like. You can contact me if you think it through."

After finishing speaking, the woman walked away gracefully.

Chen Shen looked at Lin Huai who was in a daze, and said, "What's the matter, you seem a little frustrated? Because she liked me and not you?"

"No!" Lin Huai was laughed angrily by Chen Shen, he opened his mouth, but couldn't help asking, "You...are you really a virgin...?"

"Yeah, don't you still discriminate against this...?"

"No, I just find it unbelievable." Lin Huai shook his head, he was skeptical, but felt that it was not appropriate to continue discussing this.

"Because I don't look innocent? So I look like a casual person?" Chen Shen said, and he directly carried the woman's words.

"No, I think you're a nice person." Lin Huai felt his ears turn red, "Shall we stop talking about this topic?"

Chen Shen changed the subject very cooperatively, and the two chatted about other things without saying a word. It was not until they returned home that Lin Huai remembered this matter again.

Didn't Chen Shen ever fall in love after college...?

Lin Huai was lying on his bed, he felt his heart was beating inexplicably fast, and he didn't know why.

Forget it, most likely this person was teasing him, how could it be possible for Chen Shen to have never had a relationship with anyone when he grew up like that.

After these two cases, the days after that have been uneventful. They still deal with trivial matters such as coming to issue certificates, quarreling with neighbors, cats going up and down trees and not coming to turn to the fire department, etc. Chen Shen expressed this. There were two homicides in the community within one month (although both were proved to be suicides in the end), the director's heart couldn't bear it.

Life was dull and boring. After helping Xiao Li deliver almond dew last time, Xiao Li would come to chat with Lin Huai from time to time. There is one more acquaintance.The investigation of You Qiqi's father's case has also been restarted. Although Wang He was very angry that You Qiqi was disturbed again, Lin Huai had long since given up pestering You Qiqi. The local government suddenly became enthusiastic, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Lin Huai would contact Uncle Xing from time to time to ask about Lin Qu and Lin Ya's situation. Uncle Xing was a little surprised by Lin Huai's attitude. When Lin Qu was mentioned, he didn't sound so resentful towards Lin Qu.

Uncle Xing originally thought that Lin Huai was going to give in, but he was embarrassed to take the initiative to bow his head, but after making indirect remarks, he found that Lin Huai didn't mean that at all, which made him a little puzzled.

"Your elder brother is fine, but... Huaihuai, you really don't want to come back, you want to come back and tell me, you don't have to bow to your elder brother, I will help you coordinate..."

"I didn't mean that," Lin Huai hesitated, "I just realized that sometimes things are not as I imagined, and I don't blame big brother that much..."

"You know?" Uncle Xing sighed.

Lin Huai hummed.

"I don't dare to say how your elder brother treats others, but he has nothing to say to his family. If you really figure it out, you should come back. You will be wronged more or less there. .”

"I really think it's okay." Lin Huai leaned against the wall. His contact with Lin Ya has always been contacted by someone pretending to be him. He really hasn't been in direct contact with Lin Ya for a long time. "Compared to this, sister Is her condition okay? There is one thing that I always worry about... I haven’t seen her during my sister’s treatment, is she really okay now? Is my sister really doing well? "

When Lin Ya started having mental problems, he was in his third year of high school. Before Chen Shen's accident, Lin Ya already had symptoms of anxiety and irritability.

And Lin Ya's real collapse was when she heard about Chen Shen's accident. At that time, Lin Huai had just started college, and Lin Qu kept telling him to move out of the house on the grounds that Lin Huai had just started school, and even made him move out of the house because he was close to school. When he saw Lin Ya, Lin Ya was in a normal state, which made him never take Lin Ya's condition too seriously.

He used to think that Lin Ya was probably frustrated, mentally stimulated, and depressed, and after a few years of recuperation, she was completely cured, but now looking back, he always felt something was wrong.

According to elder brother's temper, is sister's illness really that mild?

"Are you afraid that after she gives birth to a child, she will deteriorate mentally when she sees Chen Shen?"

"It's part of the reason. I just think that my eldest brother is hiding something about Gao Fan from me. Is my sister also hiding something? Are sister and brother-in-law really happy?" Lin Huai said. In his impression, Lin Huai Ya and her husband are indeed very affectionate, and her brother-in-law is also a family-oriented person, and he seems to like her sister very much.

Uncle Xing sounded relieved: "Of course your sister and brother-in-law are doing well. You don't think your brother-in-law was forced by your elder brother, do you?"

"Of course not," Lin Huai's ears turned red, "I'm just worried about my sister's situation."

"If you are really worried, you should come back. Your sister misses you very much. As for...Chen Shen, I will find a way to arrange it when you come back," Uncle Xing was still trying to persuade Lin Huai, "You won't Still worrying about your elder brother, don't take Chen Shen too seriously, your elder brother is very busy now, there is no time to treat him, as long as you don't mention Chen Shen after you come back, your elder brother will naturally turn a blind eye Just close your eyes."

Lin Huai was a little confused, but it wasn't because of whether he could go or not, but because of why he didn't want to go. After thinking about it, he seemed to suddenly understand again.

"Uncle Xing, I don't want to go back. Although the environment here is very different from what I was in the criminal investigation team, I have learned a lot. I don't want to get promoted all the way, sit in an office, and then be a blind commander."

"What's wrong with the blind command? The most important thing for a leader is to be able to employ people..." At this point, Uncle Xing was silent for a while, and said: "Forget it, alas, you young people are capricious."

Lin Huai chatted with him about some homework, and then hung up the phone. He saw Wen Li'an from a distance, and he remembered that the matter of You Qiqi's father had been settled, but he hadn't thanked Wen Li'an yet. , he raised his hand and waved it not very enthusiastically.

Seeing that he finished the phone call, Wen Li'an leaned over and said with a smile, "You are waving your hand like you want to slap me."

"Your illusion." Lin Huai replied indifferently.

"I went to the hospital to see you before, but you fell asleep every time."

Is it such a coincidence...?Lin Huai was puzzled, did Wen Li'an come here at night?

"I'm lying to you, I never went to see you."

"..." The corner of Lin Huai's mouth twitched, this person didn't want to thank him at all, did he?

"When are you leaving? I'll treat you to dinner again before you leave." Lin Huai's cold tone was completely inconsistent with the content of the invitation.

"This, I'm afraid it will be a long time." Wen Li'an was thoughtful.

"????" Lin Huai looked up at Wen Li'an inexplicably, "What's the matter, did you find the big fish?"

"There are no big fish, but there are quite a few small fish, but that's not why I stayed," Wen Li'an said, "I've been transferred here."

transfer?Wen Li'an did a good job in City B, and he came to this second-tier tourist city. What's more, he just graduated and was basically transferred at the same level. Isn't this a demotion?

"The scenery here is really nice, there are many beautiful people, and there is also a lot of food. I want to play for a year before I talk about it." Wen Li'an looked relieved.

"..." Lin Huai was in no mood to ask this person why, "If possible, I hope you can work hard too."

After finishing speaking, Lin Huai wanted to leave, but after taking half a step, he remembered Wen Li'an's previous help.He stopped and said, "It's already off work, let's have a meal together."

"Remuneration?" Wen Li'an asked, "Then can my little cousin cook for me?"

"It's okay to dream." Lin Huai replied expressionlessly.

At this moment, Chen Shen also came out of the office. When he saw Wen Li'an, he greeted him with a smile. Wen Li'an nodded, but his eyes were not very friendly. Lin Huai looked at Wen Li sensitively. An glanced at him, but at this moment he had already changed into a smile, and even stepped forward to give Chen Shen a hug.

There is a saying that describes the hypocritical friendship between girls, called plastic flower friendship, but in Lin Huai's view, the hug between the two looks a bit like grenade friendship. Chen Shen and everyone are doing well, but Wen Li'an His attitude was even worse than when we had dinner together that night.

"I was still chatting with my little cousin just now, and I have also been transferred here. Will we be considered colleagues in the future?"

"Yes, please take care of me in the future." Chen Shen smiled.

"By the way, about the attack on my little cousin before, I heard that the murderer came to the door through two photos secretly taken by others. In the photos, my little cousin was shopping for clothes." Wen Li'an glanced at Lin Huai's body. Lin Huai seldom wears police uniforms after buying clothes. He said in a burning tone, "Did he buy it by himself? From the photos, he seems to be looking at someone?"

"I went shopping with him, what's the matter? Do you want me to go shopping with you too?" Chen Shen smiled softly.

Wen Li'an was hiccupped by Chen Shen's words, and froze in place. Originally, Lin Huai was only choking on his own saliva. He tried to hold back his laughter, but Wen Li'an's expression as if he had been slapped in the face prevented him from succeeding. , Lin Huai laughed outright.
