drag on

Lu Zhe tightly clutched the only two cigarettes in his trouser pocket, held back, couldn't hold back, sneaked out one and lit it himself, and took a deep puff under An Baiwei's eyes.

10 minutes ago, the team leader took the vice-captain to work openly and fled to the opposite side of the road for Lu Zhe to pick up a pack of cigarettes. Lu Zhe didn't know the words on the sign, so he usually smoked whatever he had, but it was time for him to choose. So I told the store owner without any ups and downs: "I want the cheapest one."

The owner of the store said yes, but was stopped by An Baiwei halfway, the captain smiled leisurely: "Just take one box, I want the best."

Lu Zhe glanced at An Baiwei silently, his hostility seemed to kill someone.

An Baiwei, as if he didn't notice Lu Zhe's gaze at all, paid the money and took the pack of cigarettes with a smile, and waved the cigarette pack in his hand to Lu Zhe who was following him when he walked into the building of the Joint Criminal Department: "Come with me, and go back to the office obediently when you're done, do you hear me?"

"...Milling and chirping." Lu Che was addicted to cigarettes, and the lack of cigarettes in his hand made his whole body uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but muttered to Amber angrily.

Amber raised the corners of his mouth slightly, pretending not to hear, and took him to the quiet courtyard behind the building - almost no one came here, and over time it became a place for people in the ministry to have barbecues and private meetings, such as Bian Jun And Wen Zifan.

But now it seems that the young couple are busy with Jiang Shuo's follow-up work and have no time to come out to get bored.In broad daylight, if An Bowei caught them getting bored together, they would definitely be scolded again.

So Captain Security turned the man to a thick locust tree with peace of mind, slowly tore open the package in front of Lu Zhe, and slowly knocked out a cigarette from it, shaking it in front of Lu Zhe: " This one is promised to you, take it."

Lu Zhe snatched it away, stuffed it into his trouser pocket silently, and was about to leave, but Amber's smiling voice stopped him: "Don't worry, Xiao Zhe, come back and listen to me."

Lu Zhe was extremely unimpressed with the title "Xiao Zhe", and turned his head to look at An Baiwei coldly, his eyes wished to dig a hole in him, so as not to be molested by An Baiwei's mouth that could say anything up.

"There's another one for you as a reward." An Baiwei tapped out another cigarette, and handed it to Lu Zhe between two fingers. Now it’s not like before, you can work with a cigarette in your mouth, and if you want to smoke in the future, you can only stay here, understand?”

That's why the experience of Vice Captain Lu bearing the burden of humiliation and lighting a cigarette in front of An Baiwei just now came about.

An Baiwei folded his arms and leaned against the trunk of the locust tree, squinting lazily at the way Lu Che gently exhaled smoke, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him smoked like a drug addict, but also There was a desperate and explicit sexiness—but surprisingly, Lu Che's eyes were always clear, without blurring or clouding, he just looked at his feet calmly, sucked in slowly, reluctantly It will be finished soon.

Seeing that he only had a cigarette butt in his mouth, Amber finally twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's a good thing you are a smoker. If you take drugs, you will definitely be the kind of person who can't quit."

Lu Zhe was still immersed in the nervous pleasure after being paralyzed by nicotine, he ignored An Baiwei's words, turned his head and glanced at him lightly after a while, and said nothing.After a while, he crushed the cigarette butt into the trash can next to him, and took another cigarette out of his trouser pocket.

Amber Wei: "..."

Lu Zhe was not in a hurry to order it, but just lingered in his mouth to savor it, his eyes still hanging on the ground, and finally said to An Baiwei vaguely: "I still want it."

"It's gone." An Baiwei had expected that he would not be able to stand the temptation, but he didn't intend to pamper Lu Zhe all the time.

"If you don't give me cigarettes, I won't work." Lu Zhe whispered.

Amber calmed down and said, "If you don't work hard, don't even want a cigarette."

"If you don't give it to me, I'll buy it myself." Lu Zhe didn't give him a chance to threaten.

Amber narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you rich?"

Lu Zhe dug into the other trouser pocket resolutely. The only coin left was a lollipop bought yesterday, but now the pocket is empty, cleaner than his face.

Lu Zhe: "..."

The two lived together for three years, and An Baiwei took care of him. He was afraid that he would be illiterate and spend money indiscriminately, and he would not be good at arithmetic, so he kept managing the small treasury for Lu Zhe, and now all the money is in An Baiwei's. Let it go, the six yuan Lu Zhe spent yesterday to buy food was still too hungry to dig out from under the sofa.

Lu Zhe turned around and left.

Seeing his cold face and temper, An Bo was inexplicably happy in his heart, and followed Lu Zhe into the Joint Criminal Department building. It looked like a large dog protecting its master, still wagging its tail and strutting around. kind of.

Dai Xiaozhou was looking for the two of them, and he was immediately happy when he saw them: "Captain, we just did a small test. Jiang Shuo has good eyesight and a steady arm. We all think it's good to be with Vice-Team Lu."

Amber Wei's originally clear face suddenly sank: "No."

Lu Zhe tore a piece of toilet paper casually, took out the cigarette in his mouth, wrapped it up and put it in his trouser pocket, and said in a low voice, "There's nothing wrong with it, just follow where he suits."

"A rookie who just entered the department can't afford the gun of your deputy team." An Baiwei spoke very harshly, "Dai Xiaozhou, who told you that newcomers can directly contact the core personnel? Transfer him to Go to Xiaowen's place to familiarize yourself with the various documents first, and then consider practicing marksmanship with Deputy Team Lu after you become a regular."

Dai Xiaozhou rubbed his chubby face, a little astonished: "Team An, have you taken choking medicine?"

An Baiwei didn't explain a word to Dai Xiaozhou, and went upstairs with a stinky face, leaving Dai Xiaozhou to look at Lu Zhe in even more astonishment, and blinked his small eyes uncertainly: "Deputy team...you two quarreled Already? You’ve only been here for the first day, so you won’t be able to…”

Lu Zhe didn't bother to explain, he was suffocated because of An Baiwei's confiscation of his cigarettes, but now hearing An Baiwei's name gave him a headache, and he wanted to turn around and go upstairs, but Dai Xiaozhou stopped him .

"Hey, little Lulu, after a few days of ups and downs in our department, we have finally gathered people. We are not busy recently, and there is no backlog of cases on hand. Qi Xiu can come back at night... Look, how about we Go out for a meal?" Dai Xiaozhou rubbed his hands, his eyes sparkled, "I wanted to tell Team An just now, but I was afraid of being scolded... How about it? How about you go and talk to Team An for us? They I have notified everything, as long as Team An nods, I will book a private room."

Lu Zhe had worked with Dai Xiaozhou before, and when he heard this, he gave him a sideways glance: "The private room has already been booked."

Dai Xiaozhou laughed a few times.

"In the future, if you dare to kill first and play later, I will remember your punishment." Lu Che said in a low voice, hesitated for a moment, and walked upstairs, "I have something to ask him, just ask him... If he disagrees, I won't either. Method."

"Little Lulu, you dote on us the most!" Dai Xiaozhou groaned.

Lu Zhe actually didn't want to see An Baiwei, his anger hadn't subsided yet, if it wasn't for a question that he didn't understand, he wouldn't even take the job.

When Lu Zhe went up, the door of An Baiwei's office was ajar. He pushed it open and walked in without any effort. He patted the seat next to him, motioning for Lu Zhe to sit over: "Come."

"I won't go." Lu Zhe threw down four words forcefully.

"What are you doing? Do you really think I'm angry?" An Baiwei dropped the document and touched his chin. "I just taught him a lesson. Assigning new recruits requires my signature. Their opinions are for reference only... It’s been a long time since we’ve had any newcomers, Dai Xiaozhou drifted away before he dared to make a decision on his own, and even you, isn’t that just asking for scolding?”

"I'm not talking about this." Lu Zhe frowned slightly.

Amber smiled: "Then it's over, then it's nothing important, come and sit." He patted the seat next to him again, "You just talk, I won't listen, I will cover my ears."

As he spoke, he actually covered his ears with his hands, blinking his eyes at Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe lost his temper at all by him, so he walked over and sat down according to his wishes, and said without any ups and downs, "Put your hands down."

Amber put down his hands with a slight smile.

"..." Lu Zhe's eyes wandered for a moment, and he unconsciously saw a photo of himself on An Baiwei's desk. He looked away awkwardly and explained in a low voice, "You shouldn't let me Be the vice-captain."

Amber quietly looked at Lu Zhe's slightly embarrassed expression, unexpectedly did not interrupt, and let Lu Zhe continue talking.

"Anyway, I haven't been in the department for three years. The newcomers are not familiar with me, and the old people can handle things better than me... What will they think if you suddenly push me to the position of vice-captain? Dai Xiaozhou He doesn't care about titles and positions, but Qingchun can't care less, she has paid no less for the three teams than others, she was supposed to be the best candidate for the vice-captain, but I snatched her halfway..." Lu Zheyue said in a lower voice, and finally smacked He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I can't be the vice-captain."

To Lu Zhe's surprise, An Baiwei suddenly reached out and touched his ear. He looked at An Baiwei in astonishment. I know... when did you become so sensible?"

"..." Lu Che turned his head away from him, the ear that Amber rubbed just now was still slightly warm from his fingers, which made Lu Che feel extremely uncomfortable, he was about to stand up after being silent for a long time Walking away, An Baiwei suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"How long you have been in the third team and how much you have given, we all have seen it. Even if you come back after a three-year break, these things will not disappear. I know, Xiaozhou knows, Qingchun knows better. You are the vice captain, no It's just my own decision, voted by everyone in the Ministry. You asked me if I wanted to bring you back... Now I tell you clearly, from the day you walked out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I I've been thinking about when I'll bring you back." An Baiwei's words were straight and straight, but the hand that touched Lu Zhe's wrist dishonestly stroked his smooth skin, and said softly, "Don't worry now. Is it? No one will criticize you, and no one will accuse me of being unqualified as the captain. I uphold the principle of fairness and justice and invite them back as the vice-captain. They should be grateful."

Lu Zhe pursed the corners of his lips. At this moment, he actually felt a little excited. It's good that he came back after being away for many years, and there are so many people waiting for him and looking forward to him.

Amber saw that his eyes softened a little, and picked up the document he was looking at just now from the table while the iron was hot: "I just came to sign it."

Lu Zhe gently shook off An Baiwei's hand that was taking advantage of it, took the document and looked left and right, the dense words on it gave him a headache: "What is this?"

"Confidentiality agreement, contract and so on." Amber skipped lightly, "I asked Xiaowen to prepare it before you came, and I read every word on it for you. There is nothing wrong with it. You just need to sign it." Words will do."

Lu Zhe had a low education background and few words. He had signed similar documents when he was in the Ministry, so he didn't care, so he picked up a pen and wrote down his name stroke by stroke in the place designated by An Baiwei. Putting down the pen in embarrassment, he silently handed the document back to An Baiwei.

An Baiwei took it over and saw that Lu Che's handwriting was still crooked as always, like two drunk people fighting on the paper.

He smiled: "It's better than what I wrote before."

Lu Zhe looked left and right, and felt uncomfortable looking anywhere. He knew that his handwriting could be so ugly that it would shake Cangjie's coffin boards away, so... being praised by Amber was a complete comfort.

"By the way..." Lu Zhe remembered Dai Xiaozhou's request, "Xiaozhou and the others are going out to have dinner tonight, and they asked you to come together, will you go?"

Amber narrowed his eyes slightly, and for the first time did not get angry. Instead, he flipped through the documents on one side, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and muttered to himself: "It seems that they are still too idle recently...they have something wrong with their idleness. .”

Lu Zhe couldn't help reaching into his trouser pocket to hold the cigarette, and said something mysteriously: "If I go too, can I have another cigarette?"

Captain An laughed angrily at his thoughtless words: "Do you think it's a good thing to go out for dinner? Meddling here."

Lu Zhe, who was inexplicably snarled, stood with his head down and didn't speak. Amber looked at him slightly, and finally sighed: "Okay, okay, I've been free lately... I'll go at night, take Jiang Shuo also called, and it happened to be a welcome party for you two."

Lu Zhe raised his eyelids slightly, and there was a sporadic look of anticipation in his eyes.

"As for the cigarettes..." An Baiwei paused deliberately, and then smiled when he saw Lu Che showing an expression of wanting to beat himself to death, "We'll see how you behave, we'll talk about it when we get home tonight."
