Balancing

The rain was a bit rampant, the sky was not yet dark, but the remaining light was covered by dark clouds, the strong wind chased the heavy rain, and the whole city was instantly melted into the rain, there was a burst of lightning and thunder, and the sky cracked countless Road mouth.

"Oh, I'm going to ask for leave again." Lu Heng just drove out of the underground parking lot in Jian Ming's car, when there was a thunderous sound.

"Why ask for leave?" Jian Ming turned left and drove out of the main road.

Lu Heng looked at the rain crackling on the glass outside the window, stretched his waist, and said slowly, "It's raining too much, it's inconvenient for me to run to work." At first glance, it sounds like a very ordinary thing.

"If you ask for leave like this, the unit still wants you?"

"Not better, I don't want to stay anymore."

Jian Ming twitched the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "You are relying on having the captain's uncle." There was no sarcasm in his tone.

A few days ago, after discovering that Lu Heng knew that he was Jiang Luchuan's adopted son, Jian Ming asked Jiang Luchuan from the side, and learned that his old friend Gu Tao was Lu Heng's uncle mentioned earlier, which also explained that Lu Heng would know The relationship between myself and Jiang Luchuan, and by the way, I also understand why he rejects the current job so much.

Lu Heng was already a little numb to this kind of sarcasm, but when Jian Ming said it, it was still very uncomfortable in his ears. He straightened his body and sat upright, "I haven't, never." A little stubborn and a little prudent.

"Officer Lu, you have to remember that you are a people's policeman. No matter where you are placed, you are." Jian Ming was born with a calm and calm posture. Throw it to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng was speechless, he knew very well that Jian Ming's casual sentence was actually a reminder, and suddenly there was a turmoil in his heart. This is the care and advice only a friend would have. He thought so, and suddenly felt that Jian Ming's words were no longer ironic, but instead It's very fucking comfortable in my heart.

"It's almost six o'clock, why don't you eat something and go back." Jian Ming suggested looking at the time on the dial of the car.

Lu Heng obeyed Jian Ming from beginning to end.

They still came to the 'Taoyuan'. Before the car approached, they saw that the door was already crowded with people who were waiting for seats.Usually, I didn't see so many people, maybe this heavy rain blocked people from making more choices. Anyway, Jian Ming was a little hesitant at this time, thinking that the bamboo room might not be able to line up.

"Why don't you change your house?" Lu Heng said at the right time.

"Okay, what do you have to introduce? I just came back, and I'm not familiar with it." The hands have already turned the steering wheel to drive away from the curb.

Lu Heng took Jian Ming to a food stall near his house that was neither gorgeous nor refined, and was even somewhat unhygienic. As soon as I got out of the shed, I knew that there must be a lot of people at the entrance of these food stalls. Today, God is not beautiful, and I can't sit outdoors, so it seems a bit deserted.A clerk stood at the door of each house to greet the few passers-by, trying to count one by one in this damn weather.

The car could not enter the alley, so Jian Ming carefully parked the car on the side of the road in the not-so-spacious alley, "Are you sure you want to eat here?" He looked at the second restaurant at the alley that Lu Heng pointed out, and began to regret it in his heart Why not be patient at the gate of 'Taoyuan' and so on.

"Trust me, the taste is top-notch." Lu Heng wanted to open the door and rush down after speaking.

Jian Ming grabbed his arm with his backhand, preventing him from opening the door. Lu Heng stared at Jian Ming in amazement, and entered without knowing.Then Jian Ming took out an umbrella from the interlayer of the car's back seat and handed it to him, "You're going to rush over like this? I don't have any clothes for you to change."

"...Oh..." Lu Heng has never been in contact with someone who can be meticulous to this level, and it seems that he is reckless and reckless.He jumped out of the car, opened the umbrella, walked around to the other side, and waited for Jian Ming to get out of the car.

Jian Ming, who was dressed in a standard formal attire for an office building, walked into the food stall, and immediately attracted incomprehensible and vague gazes from all around him. It seemed that people dressed like this shouldn't be here. The roughness of the market formed a strong contrast that was out of place. He unnaturally took off his suit and put it on his wrist.

Lu Heng didn't pay attention to these dissonances, and was greeting a middle-aged woman standing by with a small book. "Miss Boss, let's fry some signature dishes inside. A friend is here for the first time, please keep it up to standard." It seems that they come here often, and the familiar tone seems to be talking to their own back kitchen.

"Hey, how can I lose my standard? You don't know how good I am as a chef?" The proprietress chatted while writing in a small notebook. "It's still the third one. There are many people today. Let's add a fish. It's delivered in the afternoon and it's fresh."

"Okay, okay." Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned to look at Jian Ming at the side. "You don't have any taboos, can you eat spicy food?"

"It's fine if you decide, I can do either." Actually, Jian Ming has nothing to choose from here, as long as the minimum requirement is hygiene.

"Sure." The proprietress looked at Jian Ming with a grin and a smile. She had never entered such a small shop with such a handsome guy, and she couldn't help but want to take a few more glances. "Come on, two handsome guys sit in the back room. It's big and there's no one there." He said and led to the next room. In fact, the whole store was rebuilt from a house with three bedrooms and one living room. This back room is just one of them. It is just a slightly larger main room.

There is a very real reason why Lu Heng likes food stalls, that is, he can smoke. He put one in his mouth and lit it, then threw Zhongnanhai and the lighter on the table with a relaxed expression.

"Guide Jian, you don't smoke, right?" He looked at Jian Ming who had a thoughtful face, and raised his chin towards the cigarette case on the table, as if to say: If you want to smoke, you are welcome.

"Thank you for your kindness." Jian Ming observed carefully, the man in front of him has been completely different from before entering the restaurant, his tone, behavior, expression and even the action of lighting a cigarette all showed slack Light state of mind.Jian Ming can judge that this is the normal state of Lu Heng living alone for at least three years.

The proprietress took two sets of tableware with sterilized packaging and walked in, put them on the table, and said with a smile on her face, "What do you want to drink? Beer, drinks?"

Lu Heng: "Beer"

Jian Ming: "Boiling water"

The proprietress was stunned for a while, and quickly realized, "Oh, I'll deliver it right away, two bottles of beer first?"

"Four bottles, two bottles are not enough to rinse your mouth." Lu Heng touched the back of his head with his hand, and agreed with a look of disdain.

Dishes were served on the table one after another, spicy crab legs, steamed Laoganma cured meat, dry pot yellow duck and a steamed eight-treasure fish.The juice is dripping, red and hot, and the appearance is very appetizing.

Jian Ming was using boiling water to re-sterilize the 'disinfected' tableware, while Lu Heng on the opposite side had already bitten open a bottle of cold beer, intending to pour it into his and Jian Ming's sterilized cups.

"Wait..." Jian Ming stopped Lu Heng with one hand, "Your cup is not hot yet, so you use mine first. I don't drink, I drive." Thinking of the drunk driving that Wei Dong struggled to find on the day of the party, Jian Ming made up his mind But never drink while driving.Lu Heng held the wine bottle in mid-air and stopped for about ten seconds. Finally, he sighed helplessly, took Jian Ming's glass and filled it up for himself.

"Hey, you, you didn't pick anything, it's just that living like a girl is too unpleasant." Lu Heng sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Jian Ming was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure, his lips curled up, his eyes shimmered, "Officer Lu lives a happy life, but there are too many things to pick."

"..." These words perfectly ended Lu Heng's rare emotions. He couldn't help but realize that Jian Ming was definitely beating himself when he thought of this glass of wine.

"Counselor Jian, I really admire you. You said how you can always live so rationally and soberly, as if you have become a fairy. Do you still know what the seven emotions and six desires are?" Lu Heng filled another glass.

Jian Ming laughed out loud, and teased, "Hehe, don't you know that I'm from an alien?"

"Get out, that's my sick nonsense, don't make fun of it." Lu Heng's face turned red slightly. "Try the dish, it's sure to be better than your Taoyuan's clear soup with less water," he said, and put a large crab leg into Jian Ming's bowl.

"It tastes good." Jian Ming took a sip of the soup, applauding it sincerely.

It was rare to be recognized, Lu Heng was happy, and unconsciously gradually put other dishes in his bowl, Jian Ming saw the red, red, green and green dishes that were on the same level as the bowl, and his appetite suddenly disappeared.He took a sip of the boiled water, looked up at Lu Heng, "Do you usually drink like this alone?" After a while, he saw that he had already drank almost two bottles.

"Ah, I want to drink a few cups when it's raining... sleep soundly." Lu Heng didn't look at Jian Ming, and ate his food with his head down, unable to hear any tone.As if trying to block Jian Ming's next words, he abruptly changed the subject without waiting for the other party's response. "Do you have WeChat account?"

Jian Ming shook his head, "No."

"Let's pretend, what year is it, who still sends text messages now." Lu Heng copied and pasted Li Wei's words, and even tried to imitate his tone.

Jian Ming was surprised that Lu Heng would take the initiative to bring up social software, but thinking about it, it would be helpful for his treatment. "Okay, for you, I'll give it a try." Jian Ming accidentally babbled out what was in his heart, and at this moment, Jian Ming sincerely wished that he had the special ability to turn back time.

"..." Lu Heng's cheek muscles twitched indistinctly, and before he had time to think, he continued, "Eh, I'll download it later and add you."

"Oh." Without raising his head, Lu Heng replied in a low voice, and then opened the fourth bottle of wine.for me?for me!for me.

Lu Heng kept repeating these two words in his mind. He didn't know whether it was the effect of alcohol or something else, his little face turned red instantly.

The meal ended a little hastily, apart from the small waves of the WeChat incident, there was also Lu Heng's gallantry but not the capacity for alcohol.After drinking four bottles, his eyes began to blur.

"I thought you were a good drinker." Jian Ming looked at Lu Heng staggering forward, annoyed and funny.

"Thank you, and you're spending money again. I wanted to invite you." Seeing Jian Ming, Lu Heng paid the money directly, a little ashamed, talking indistinctly, and patted Jian Ming's shoulder with one hand.

"You're welcome, Officer Lu, as long as you drink to your heart's content." Jian Ming smiled helplessly, he didn't care who invited whom, but was a little worried about the guy in front of him who couldn't even speak straight, thinking about rain and drinking Could there be some kind of connection?

I haven't finished worrying here yet, as soon as I walked out of the door, Lu Heng was kicked by the door frame, and fell straight forward.

Jian Ming rushed forward with a stride, trying to grab him, but before his hands touched his shoulders, his fingers brushed across his shoulders and neck, and he still watched Lu Heng fall vertically on the ground outside the door, a standard large character clutching the ground tightly look embarrassed.

"Fuck..." Lu Heng hummed while trying to prop himself up.His arm was propped up by Jian Ming. With this help, he quickly stood up, swaying his body from side to side, pretending to ignore the countless eyes watching the excitement behind him, he couldn't wait for Jian Ming to open the umbrella, and he didn't look back to pull him Just rush to the main road.

When they got into Jian Ming's car, both of them were in a bit of a panic, "Officer Lu, are you okay?" Seeing that there was still some muddy water on Lu Heng's face, Jian Ming stretched out his hand to wipe Lu Heng subconsciously.As soon as the temperature of his fingertips touched his skin, Lu Heng shuddered. At this time, the dim streetlight outside the car window passed through the car window through the dripping rain and hit Jian Ming's body. A circle of lingering light flashed, Lu Heng's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, he swallowed, and wiped his face carelessly with the back of his hand.

"I...it's fine, it's just a fall, I'm used to embarrassing you in front of you anyway... I'm sorry for making you wet." Lu Heng's tone was helpless and embarrassing, but this apology was also extremely sincere.

Jian Ming suddenly felt distressed, he just wanted to show his concern, but why did Lu Heng have the embarrassing thought in his heart, that he felt too harsh on him?Or, as he said, do you feel that you are a person without emotions?

Jian Ming thought for a while, and said, "I never feel ashamed of you, Lu Heng."

Lu Heng stared at him steadily, with erratic eyes, even Jian Ming, an expert on human psychology, didn't see what Lu Heng's strange expression was trying to express. He sighed softly, took off his glasses, and got out of the car. A paper towel was pulled out of the box to wipe off the rain on the lens.

"Guide Jane, do you have a girlfriend?" Lu Heng felt that alcohol must be the effect of asking such nonsense.

"Huh?" Jian Ming was surprised and didn't react.

"...I... just asked, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. If you don't want to say it, forget it." Lu Heng rubbed his temples, feeling a little swollen and painful.What's the matter, these bottles of wine are not enough.

"No." I added in my heart that I don't have a boyfriend either.

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, "That...it's a pity..." Before he finished speaking, Jian Ming suddenly approached him, covered his face with his hand, and touched his forehead.Asked curiously, "What's wrong? Your face is so red? It's still so hot? Do you usually do this after drinking?"

Jian Ming noticed something was wrong.

The sudden approach made Lu Heng gasp heavily. "Normally not, I guess I'm acting out of order today." He smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling his forehead hurt more and more, thinking that Jian Ming must be poisonous, how could he be so out of order in front of him every time that he despises himself.

"Let's take you home first. Do you have a thermometer at home?" Jian Ming put on his glasses and started the car. "No, I'd better buy the car and measure it. If there is anything, I can buy medicine or go to the hospital in time."

"Wait, what do you mean? You think I have a fever?"

"Hey, I just got drunk, it's nothing, don't make a fuss."

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

Jian Ming ignored him three times in a row, and at last he only gave an order: "Fasten your seat belt and shut up."
