[Rat and Cat] Serious Crime Team

Chapter 75 Poppy Petals (7)

"As long as your story can move me." Bai Yutang curled the corners of his mouth, and his smile was a bit flat.

"Then you may be disappointed, I don't have any stories to tell her." Zhan Zhao looked at the crystal clear teacup in his hand and smiled wryly.

"Come on." Seeing Zhan Zhao's miserable smile, Bai Yutang felt displeased, and said nonchalantly, "If I had a mirror with me, I would take a picture of it for you. Look at your current appearance." , like there's no story to tell?"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Yutang, the expression on the other's face reminded him of a word, hate iron but not steel.At this time, Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered the past about Bai Yutang that Su Hong had mentioned.In Su Hong's story, the young Bai Yutang also experienced many ups and downs between people.Two of his friends, one died because of his own mistakes, and the other was an enemy with completely different positions from the beginning.

Although the setbacks that Bai Yutang experienced were completely different from his own, they all involved the relationship between people. Tell him, maybe it can really make you feel better?Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang again, causing him to frown.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Bai Yutang put on a frightened expression, seeing Bai Yutang's exaggerated appearance, Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's smile, Bai Yutang's heart seemed to relax a lot.He narrowed his eyes, poured tea for Zhan Zhao again, and said with a smile, "I laughed too, since I'm in a good mood, why don't you hurry up and tell a story?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, stared at the crystal clear teacup in Bai Yutang's hand, and sighed softly, "It's been more than three years, and now it's really like someone else's story."

The story of Zhan Zhao and Shui Jiping is so simple that almost everyone feels familiar when they hear it.Everyone may have heard similar stories when they were young, and some people even experienced such stories themselves.

Four years ago, 19-year-old Zhan Zhao and 22-year-old Shui Jiping met on the campus of University A.Zhan Zhao studied early and skipped several grades, so when he was 19 years old, he was already a doctoral student in the School of Psychology of University A.Although Shui Jiping is good at reading, she is not a genius. At the age of 22, she was in her senior year and was about to graduate in half a year. She was struggling with her future between recommending graduate students and getting a job.

These two people are celebrities in different circles of University A. Zhan Zhao has already received a Ph.D. at a young age, and is a close student of a famous professor at University A. There is no one in the academic circle who does not know this young genius.Shui Jiping has a good appearance and a gentle personality. In a place like the School of Foreign Languages, where there are so many beauties, she can still win the throne of school belle for four consecutive years. Naturally, she is very popular in the school.But just because the circles of these two people hardly overlap, Zhan Zhao doesn't know Shui Jiping, and Shui Jiping doesn't know Zhan Zhao either.

Both of them lived in University A for several years, but they didn't meet for the first time until a few years later at a school celebration.That time was the centennial celebration of the establishment of University A, and every corner of the whole school was mobilized by various themed activities.People like Zhan Zhao, who are not very keen on club activities, have no way to escape, but are forced to undertake the activities of receiving alumni, and at that time, Shui Jiping was his partner to receive the same alumni.

The acquaintance at the beginning was completely coincidental, and later the two chatted when they were bored, Shui Jiping knew Zhan Zhao's name, and Zhan Zhao also remembered the beautiful name of this gentle and beautiful girl.After Zhan Zhao returned to the dormitory, he mentioned Shui Jiping to his classmates, but the background of this extraordinary beauty was immediately popularized by a group of envious and jealous boys.Only then did Zhan Zhao know that Shui Jiping was still a famous person.

The school celebration lasted for a week. After the event, Shui Jiping and Zhan Zhao did not become strangers, but became friends.In the following period of time, Shui Jiping often went to the School of Psychology, always finding various excuses to find Zhan Zhao.In the beginning, Zhan Zhao didn't understand Shui Jiping's reason at all, and others didn't expect that Hua Shui Jiping, who had been single for four years, would fall in love with a little nerd from the School of Psychology, and this little nerd was even younger than Shui Jiping. A full three years old.

When Zhan Zhao realized that he was looking forward to Shui Jiping's arrival, he realized that he had changed.It was a feeling that I had never experienced before, caring, missing, and longing for more contact and understanding.Everything that happened later became a matter of course. When two people wanted to get closer, love happened naturally.Like many campus lovers, they appear in every corner of the campus.In classrooms, cafeterias, libraries, and artificial lakes, they held hands and smiled at each other, shyly but proudly meeting the envious eyes of others.

When Zhan Zhao recalled these days, there was a smile on his face that Bai Yutang had never seen before, faint, very happy, very beautiful.But for some reason, Bai Yutang became angrier and more uncomfortable the more he watched.He stared depressedly at Zhan Zhao's happy face, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.This kid looked honest, but he didn't expect his first love to be gone at the age of 19. Hmph, what a little pervert!

Therefore, Bai Yutang, who had a tendency to be irritable, stared at Zhan Zhao's smile, and said coldly, "I can't see that you are quite attractive to beauties. Since you were so good at the beginning, why did you break up in the end?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face turned into melancholy, and finally turned into a smile on his lips.He glanced at Bai Yutang indifferently, and said with a smile, "Actually, we don't count as breaking up."

"Huh? How do you say that?" Bai Yutang frowned, didn't they break up?Are you still together?How is this possible? If Shui Jiping was still with Zhan Zhao, how could there be a foreign man?

Zhan Zhao didn't know that Bai Yutang had misunderstood his relationship with Shui Jiping, so he explained in a very calm tone, "Actually, our relationship at the time was not considered to be in love. Although others thought we were in love, in fact We just had a vague affection for each other. I invited her to listen to our college's lectures, and I accompanied her to the cafeteria closest to the girls' dormitory for dinner. We went to the library together, and I checked information, and she used the computer to look up employment information. Sometimes we are all free, and when we are free, we will take a walk by the artificial lake and talk about our future plans. I told her that I want to be a psychologist and heal my brother’s psychological trauma. She said she wanted to find a Find a job with a high salary and a bright future to ease the difficulties in life at home.

Looking back now, those days were very beautiful, because it seemed that for the first time I had a friend who could confide in my heart, like having a confidant, and this confidant was such a gentle and beautiful person.If we had been given a little more time, I have a feeling we should have come together in the end.I believe she thought so too. "

"You mean you are not dating?" Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, and then he glanced at Zhan Zhao in disbelief, "Why didn't you talk about it? Since you said that you both regard each other as bosom friends, you both Interesting, why did you miss it in the end?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, there was no regret in the smile, only some reminiscence of the beautiful past.

"Even if you meet the right person at the wrong time, you are doomed to miss it."

"Dr. Zhan, you'd better make it clear." Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, "I don't want to hear your secrets."

Zhan Zhao smiled helplessly, and continued to speak obediently, "Actually, I don't know exactly what happened at the beginning. It was only two months since we met and finally separated. When she was doing the work, she said that in fact, her favorite thing is to do research on English literature. She wanted to study abroad, and also wanted to stay in school for postgraduate studies. She also said at the time that if she stayed in school, she could stay with me Graduate school continues learning."

When talking about this, Zhan Zhao smiled again, and said to Bai Yutang, "Actually, if it's really what she said, maybe we will really be together."

"The result? She didn't stay in school?" Bai Yutang asked with raised eyebrows.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "I remember that when she came to see me for the last time, she seemed to be in a bad mood and even cried. She said that her family objected to her continuing her graduate studies and asked her to work in a foreign company. She said she was reluctant to go to school, I am also reluctant to part with my dreams, but the family conditions are very poor, and she has a very young brother, and her parents have a heavy burden, so she can't just focus on her dreams, she needs to work immediately to support the family."

Bai Yutang nodded, "It seems that Shui Jiping is still a very responsible person. But you still didn't say, how did you separate in the end?"

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly, "Actually, I don't know. I only know that she hasn't come to see me since the last conversation. I tried to contact her, but she never responded. During that time I I was a little frustrated, but soon my master won me a chance to go abroad for exchange. After I left University A, we had no contact with each other. Later, when I returned to China, she had already graduated. I asked her fellow graduate students where she was going. , I heard that she went to a big multinational company with a high salary, but she was very busy."

"Didn't you go to her afterwards?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head again, "I called her, but she never answered. Later, I also went to her company to look for her. The first time the front desk lady told me that she was on a business trip, the second time she told me Said she resigned. I lost track of her after that.”

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes and looked at his lost expression, and smiled slightly, "It seems that you still miss her very much, but in my opinion, she is just playing tricks on you."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhaoyi frowned, "How do you say that?"

Bai Yutang sneered and said, "From your description, if you weren't self-indulgent, then she must have been interested in you. After the last time you talked, she cut off all contact with you, not only did not meet , not even making a phone call. Do you think it's normal? If she wants to break up with you, why doesn't she make it clear in person? It's okay to say it on the phone, but she didn't do that. "

"So?" Zhan Zhao also frowned, staring at the sneer on Bai Yutang's face, feeling sour in his heart.Although the tenderness and youthfulness at that time have passed, the memories left in my heart are still beautiful.It was very unpleasant to be analyzed by Bai Yutang in such a negative tone.

But Bai Yutang didn't seem to see Zhan Zhao's sadness, he continued to analyze Zhan Zhao's first love that ended before it even started with a cold tone.

"It seems that you really don't understand women. If she likes you, no matter how many reasons she has, she can't ignore you at all. At the beginning, she unilaterally cut off all contact with you, obviously because she was not interested in you, but now she What does it mean that she called you for help immediately after something happened? It means that she doesn't care about you at all, but treats you as a straw. Although she looks innocent, she is actually the kind of woman who uses men to achieve her own goals .You were played by her from the beginning, she just thought you were a fool."

Bai Yutang was talking endlessly, but Zhan Zhao's complexion was getting worse and worse, "Bai Yutang, you can shut up now."

"What, are you angry?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "No, I won't be angry because of your words."

"Really?" Looking at Bai Yutang's expression, he couldn't believe that Zhan Zhao was not angry at all, he gloated a little at Zhan Zhao's expressionless face, waiting for Zhan Zhao to get angry with him before laughing at him.

It's a pity that Bai Yutang didn't wait for Zhan Zhao to get angry.Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang for a few moments, and finally smiled, "You are not the person involved, and your judgment is not true, I will not get angry because of your words, nor will I change my mind just because of your words. "

"Oh? Then you mean that you are still unwilling to give up the illusion of that woman?"

"Whether it's an illusion or not, you have to check it out." Zhan Zhao stared into Bai Yutang's eyes, his eyes were a little aggressive, "The story is over, if Officer Bai is satisfied with what he heard, can you fulfill your promise?"

It was rare for Bai Yutang to see such an expression on Zhan Zhao's face, and he was amazed that the competitive traits he had when he was young seemed to be on the rise.So Bai Yutang raised the teacup in his hand, stared into Zhan Zhao's eyes with a smile, "I will help you if I promise to help you, but this will not change my judgment, I still think that woman is trying to get rid of the crime." And nonsense."

Zhan Zhao also raised his tea cup with a smile, and replied, "It doesn't matter, no matter what you think, as long as you are willing to help me, even if you don't believe my judgment, I will still be grateful."

As he said that, Zhan Zhao wanted to clink glasses, but Bai Yutang suddenly withdrew his hand back, Zhan Zhao missed it.Frowning slightly, he looked at Bai Yutang questioningly.With a smile on his lips, Bai Yutang blinked at Zhan Zhao, "Doctor Zhan, are you interested in making a bet?"

"bet?"

"That's right, it's a gamble."

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet on whether that foreign man is Shui Jiping's upline. If yes, I lose, if not, I win."

"This--"

"Zhan Zhao, you don't dare to gamble, do you? Why, are you afraid of losing to me?" Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes and smiled arrogantly.

Zhan Zhao is just a young man in his early twenties. Although his personality is calm, he is inevitably young and energetic.He stared at Bai Yutang's arrogant smiling face for a moment, and suddenly smiled.Zhan Zhao's smile was not arrogant, but it looked provocative in Bai Yutang's eyes.

"What, you promised?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I agree, Officer Bai, what is the bet?"

Bai Yutang seemed to be waiting for Zhan Zhao's words. Hearing Zhan Zhao's question, he immediately answered, "The loser must agree to a condition for the winner."

"One, condition?" Zhan Zhao frowned slightly. Why did he feel that when Bai Yutang said the bet just now, he smiled like a wolf baring its fangs.He had no doubt that if he lost, Bai Yutang's condition would make him very depressed in agreeing.

"Why, Dr. Zhan doesn't dare anymore?"

"No, I agree." Zhan Zhao decisively touched Bai Yutang's teacup with the teacup in his hand, the tea splashed lightly, and sprinkled a few drops on Bai Yutang's fingers, which was slightly cool.

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao as he drank the tea in one gulp, already thinking about what conditions he would ask if he won.What he didn't know was that Zhan Zhao was thinking about the same problem as him, and he had already thought of it one step ahead of him.Otherwise, he would not have agreed to the gamble at the risk of losing the gamble and being made things difficult by Bai Yutang.I am willing to bet and admit defeat, and hope that Officer Bai will not regret it in the future.
