Towards the end of the year, cases frequently occurred. Xia Huai often had to work overtime with regular police officers to deal with various criminal cases outside.

Whose house was robbed today, who was stealing steel bars at a construction site tomorrow, who was stabbed with a knife on the road the day after tomorrow.One day, running here and there, catching the thief here and being beaten by the thief there, Xia Huai didn't have so much energy to pay attention to Su Xiaohan's case.

Xia Nan sent messages more diligently, asking him every day if he was free.Every year at the end of the year, Xia Nan's feeling of loneliness becomes heavier.Xia Huai was really busy this time, and wanted to take time to take her to see her mother, but really couldn't make it.

After finally being able to work safely in the bureau for a day, Xia Huai met Yuan Ying who was going out on duty head-on.With a groan in my heart, as if the soles of my feet were slipping, I quickly turned my back and trimmed the bangs that had just grown a little twice.

When she turned around and wanted to say hello to Yuan Ying naturally, Yuan Ying had already walked away.Looking at Yuan Ying's disappearing figure, Xia Huai's thoughts were like a mess of telephone wires, disorganized.He wondered if Yuan Ying was blaming him for not taking the initiative to ask her out for dinner after so long.Now I want to make an appointment, but I feel that the reason has expired.

I haven't had a good rest in the past two days, and I feel sleepy when I sit in the office.When it was time for a break, Xia Huai yawned before Lou Jing came over and pulled him up, pushing him outside: "Let's go, let's take you to look at something!"

"What good stuff?"

"Go and see and you'll know!"

When he came to the garage, Lou Jing pressed the remote control on the car key, and the trunk of the car popped up with a beep.

Lou Jing opened the trunk and fished out a rust-red tattered bicycle from inside.

"I asked the city management brother to bring you a mountain bike. Let's see. The brother said that this bike is called Specialized. It sells for six or seven thousand in the market." Lou Jing kicked the rear wheel of the bicycle, "Listen, how loud is that sound?" How nice it sounds."

Xia Huai came up to look at this "valuable" bicycle. The tires were flat, the front of the bike was crooked, the pedal chain and seat cushion were missing, and the whole body was moldy and rusty. There was really no trace of value worth six or seven thousand.

"What's the use of selling six or seven thousand in the market? Now it's not a pile of scrap iron that sells for more than ten yuan at most." Xia Huai also kicked its rear wheel, "That's the sound of broken copper and rotten iron. Your urban management Brother, did you really help me choose carefully?"

"It's... it's not broken, so there's no reason to throw away such an expensive car, right? It's a bit broken, but it's not beyond salvage. Let's see if you can fix it yourself."

"Lack of parts." Xia Huai sighed, "I don't know where to buy parts for this kind of car."

Lou Jing thought of something, and let out a "ah": "I know there is a bicycle factory on Tianhu Road, and these old car parts may be cheaper for you there, why don't you go and have a look?"

After getting off work at noon, Xia Huai took a leave of absence and came out.He tied a rope to the back of the battery car, and tied the bicycle to the other end of the rope, and dragged it all the way to the bicycle factory on Tianhu Road.

The series of this car is a bit old, and the car factory does still have some parts that can be used.Although it has long been impossible to sell, but for business, outdated goods are also commodities, and they cannot be given away for free.Calculated according to the market price, the total price of this brand of cars, pedals, chains, tires, and seat cushions is estimated to be thousands of yuan.

As soon as the price was quoted, Xia Huai wished she could leave the broken car here and pay for a new one.

The manufacturer didn't intend to persuade him, but he had to tell the truth: "I have seen a few cars like yours before, and they used these broken cars to repair them. Really, repairing them by yourself is better than buying them from outside. Now they are sold outside. Yes, there are too many counterfeit parallel imports, and one will be scrapped in three months. You pay 500 yuan for a bicycle, and you can replace it in three months. After a year, it will cost thousands of dollars?"

This truth made Xia Huai hesitate, wondering if he could bargain again.

The manufacturer just wanted to tease Xia Huai earlier, no matter how outdated products are sold, they will not be sold as expensive as before.

He saw that it was not easy for Xia Huai to ride a small battery and drag the car all the way. He saw Xia Huai working hard to catch thieves at the door a few days ago. He recognized him and sold it to him at a low price of 200 yuan. rust.

Spray paint is never out of date, it can't be cheap, and the sum is more expensive than the normal price of these parts.The manufacturer directly told Xia Huai that there was a similar paint factory at 20 yuan a bucket.

After thanking the manufacturer, Xia Huai dragged the tattered bicycle to the paint factory. He negotiated a half-day price and bought two buckets of paint of different colors for 30 yuan.

In the afternoon, Xia Huai took time off from work and was tinkering with the bicycle in the small courtyard.

Install parts, repair the front of the car, and wash the rust water with oxalic acid.It was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon after finishing the busy work, so Xia Huai simply connected the painting together, and finished it all at once.

Yin Shun's afternoon class ends at 5:25, and the school gives the students an hour for dinner before evening class begins.After entering the third year of high school, there was no teacher to give lectures in evening classes, and students were asked to study by themselves.Yin Shun didn't want to study at school, and chose to go home every time, ignoring the school's requirements.

When Yin Shun came home from school, he saw Xia Huai half-hunched in the courtyard painting a bicycle from a distance.

There were two paint buckets lying on the ground, probably Xia Huai accidentally kicked them over, and the silver and red paint spilled all over his feet.He stepped on a clean brick, dipped it in the remaining paint in the bucket for a while, and dipped it in the clean paint on the ground for a while.The setting sun hadn't gone away yet, and the remaining afterglow fell on the small courtyard, making the paint on the ground, the refreshed bicycle and the sweat on Xia Huai's neck glisten.

When Yin Shun walked into the small courtyard, Xia Huai raised her head sideways and smiled, and two little dimples came out: "You're back?"

In a daze for a moment, after a while, Yin Shun came back to his senses and said, "Yeah. Did you really take a bicycle?"

"That's right. You didn't see the broken look when I got it back, otherwise you would definitely admire me now." Xia Huai didn't forget to praise herself.

Yin Shun couldn't help smiling, then frowned again, worried about his body: "I see you always work overtime recently, this spare time should be used for a good rest, don't be busy with these things."

Yin Shun wanted to go to Xia Huai's side, but Xia Huai was surrounded by lacquer water, and the lacquer water was still dripping all around, so there was no place for him to stay. In the end, he could only stand on the steps of the house behind Xia Huai.

"It's almost there, soon." Xia Huai wiped off the last two strokes, exhaled, straightened up and said, "Look, okay, let me say soon. After two days, the paint will be dry, and you will be able to paint." ride."

Xia Huai wanted Yin Shun to take a good look at his masterpiece, but Yin Shun's eyes fell on his face, and he didn't look away for a long time.

Looking at Xia Huai's face, Yin Shun couldn't help laughing.

"Why? What are you laughing at?" Xia Huai looked at him suspiciously.

"The nose is stained." Yin Shun stretched out his hand and wiped off the paint on Xia Huai's nose.

It's okay if you don't wipe it, but this time, not only did it not clean it, but it also made the paint on Xia Huai's nose more dirty.

Yin Shun was stunned for a moment, then laughed even louder.Xia Huai realized something, scolded him, and wiped his nose several times with the side of his palm.

"Okay, wipe it off, don't wipe it again." Yin Shun couldn't stop laughing.

"Laughing so heartlessly, I don't even think about who I am doing this for." Xia Huai muttered in a low voice, reaching out to Yin Shun who was standing on the steps, "Pull me up, the ground is covered with paint , I can't step on it."

Yin Shun didn't move for a moment, then leaned over, put his arms around Xia Huai's waist, and carried him up the steps.

Xia Huai hadn't been hugged like this since she was 3 years old, and she was stunned for a while after landing.

Pressing against Yin Shun's warm chest, Xia Huai felt that strange feeling came again. The last time this feeling happened was when Yin Shun poked his forehead.

"You..." Xia Huai left Yin Shun's embrace, blinked, hesitated for a long time, and smiled, "You are quite strong."

Yin Shun said, "You are not sinking."

"Yes... not sinking. Thank you."

"I'm starving, have you cooked yet?" Yin Shun still seemed to have no special reaction.He can always make actions that Xia Huai finds strange, and behave normally after doing them.

Xia Huai had to wonder if there was something wrong with him, so he felt that there was something wrong with these no big deal actions.

"The rice is cooked, I'm going to cook the vegetables right now," Xia Huai said.

The two were about to enter the house when the landlord came down from upstairs.Smelling the pungent smell of paint coming from the courtyard, the landlord immediately walked to the door.Seeing the beautiful scene in the courtyard, he yelled angrily: "What's going on? It's messed up all over the place! Who did it? Don't splash my flowers and I'll tell you!"

Xia Huai was louder than him: "I didn't touch your flower! I'll wash it for you later, and I won't leave a drop for you!"

"You'd better do it!" The landlord took a deep breath and said with lingering anger, "By the way, I came down to tell you that the water will be cut off at 06:30 tonight, and it will be stopped until tomorrow morning. You have to take a shower quickly !"

Looking at the time, Xia Huai yelled, "There are only 10 minutes left!" He asked Yin Shun, "Are you going to take a bath today?"

Yin Shun replied, "Wash."

Yin Shun had to take a bath every day, and he couldn't back down.

Xia Huai just finished her work, sweating all over, and had to take a bath.After thinking about it, I said, "Forget it, we can wash together."

Quickly rushing into the bathroom, Xia Huai threw the sprinkler head into the bathtub to turn on the water, quickly took off her clothes one by one, and took off completely in two or three strokes.

The bathroom door was slashed open, Xia Huai didn't intend to close it, probably waiting for Yin Shun to come in.

Yin Shun intentionally blocked the bathroom door, looking at the landlord with cold eyes: "Is it time for you to go up?"

The landlord snorted and strode upstairs.

"Hey, why don't you hurry up and wait for the water to cool?" Xia Huai urged Yin Shun naked in the bathroom, her smooth and white skin had a different texture under the dim light.

Yin Shun tilted his head slightly, his eyes wandering on Xia Huai's back, waist, and...

After a long time, she let out an "oh", walked into the bathroom, and closed the door.
