This episode is only for those relatives who are looking forward to the relationship between Tan Zi and Dong Ming.

The young man in the mirror is both familiar and unfamiliar.

He has long forgotten his 23-year-old appearance, and he can only sigh helplessly when he sees this young but not immature face.If all this is not true, I should sit in the office of the special case team and analyze the clues of the new case.

He couldn't help recalling the staggering scene in his mind, and now he still finds it hard to believe that the time travel plot in the novel will happen to him!It doesn't matter if I have traveled by myself, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have a nervous reflex at that time, and grabbed Ge Dongming with one hand!

After tidying up the police uniform on his body, he pushed open the door of the bathroom, walked through the corridor to the door of the room with the sign of "Detective Team One".He knocked lightly, without waiting for the person inside to respond, he pushed the door open and entered.

There was only one person in Agent One's office.At this time, he was sitting on a chair and staring out the window blankly. Under his slightly messy bangs were a pair of eager eyes.Seeing his gaze, Tan Ning couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and his steps also became hesitant.

"What time is it?" Ge Dongming asked without turning his head.

"It's past ten o'clock. Have you had breakfast?"

Shaking his head, Ge Dongming suddenly burst out laughing.Tan Ning looked at him in surprise, it was difficult to analyze the meaning of the first smile after time travel.Seeing a hint of excitement on his slightly younger face, he was even more puzzled, but the gentle smile that had become a habit surfaced on his face along with his atmosphere, Tan Ning asked, "What's the matter, so happy?"

"I don't know." Ge Dongming scratched his hair, "I'm in a good mood today. At least I don't want to complain anymore."

Hearing this, Tan Ning's heart began to tighten again.If he hadn't given him a hand at that time, he wouldn't have been brought to this world five years ago.

Five years ago, he had just graduated and entered the detective bureau, and Ge Dongming was still the deputy captain of the first team of the detective team.Both were bachelors and lived in the same dormitory in the agency dormitory.Recalling the acquaintance and getting along with each other in the past, and thinking about the road we have traveled together in the past few years, Tan Ning's expression became more and more lonely when he looked at Ge Dongming, who was five years younger in front of him.

For some reason, Ge Dongming, a carefree old man, is very careful about his Wannian follower, so careful that he can understand the meaning of every expression on the other side.At this moment, he saw the indescribable helplessness on Tan Ning's always gentle face, and the inexplicable good mood just now disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Ge Dongming asked him.

"you......"

"what?"

"It's not because of me, you still..."

"Stop!" Ge Dongming interrupted Tan Ning, "Don't talk about this anymore." After speaking, he stood up, and this time the conversation ended under his force.

Seeing his footsteps ahead, Tan Ning wanted to ask - do you hate me?

The members of the first team of detectives returned to the office one after another, and Tan Ning, as a newcomer, prepared herbal tea for everyone to cool off the heat.The captain who just came back patted him on the shoulder with a smile, saying that this young man is sensible and knows that the seniors have worked hard outside.Tan Ning still smiled very gently, and in exchange for the captain's appreciative gaze, he put his shoulders on his shoulders and said with a smile, "Next time you come out with us, let Lao Liu take you and learn more."

"Okay." Tan Ning nodded.

"If you try to stay in the first team, there are not many sensible young people like you now."

"I like the first team too."

The captain smiled even more happily. The bold man hugged Tan Ning's shoulders and walked towards Lao Liu.Ge Dongming on the side put down the pen in his hand, feeling that the captain's hand was particularly glaring.

In the afternoon, the team had a meeting.Tan Ning is used to preparing various materials in advance and placing them in front of each person's seat.This kind of thing is what he often does in the special case team, even if it is not his job at all, the habit of many years still cannot be changed.Today, after doing everything, he specially put a cup of very strong tea on Ge Dongming's place, opened the lid and let it cool, so that he can drink it directly when Ge Dongming comes, without worrying about burning his mouth.

The meeting was about to begin, and everyone filed in.Ge Dongming sat in his seat and saw the teacup in front of him, feeling warm in his heart.He raised his eyes to look for the familiar person, but saw him sitting in the corner sullenly.

"Xiao Tan, come here, sit here." The captain greeted Tan Ning loudly and designated a seat for him.

Tan Ning nodded with a smile, got up and walked over, just sitting opposite Ge Dongming.The eyes met, and for some reason, Tan Ning saw a trace of displeasure in the other's eyes.

After get off work, several people in the team wanted to take Tan Ning out for a drink and dinner.He didn't want to go at first, so he turned his head to look at Ge Dongming, and found that he was staring at the calendar card, carefully thinking about what day it is today, and when he understood the meaning, Tan Ning smiled at his colleagues: "I can't drink enough Okay, just don't feed me."

The captain inside is a playful person, and when he heard that the boys outside were going out for a drink, he immediately became interested.When I called Ge Dongming to go with me, I also said to Tan Ning by the way: "Tomorrow morning, at the team meeting, we will hand over the summary of our report to you. By the way, I will tidy up those things on my desk later. Ah , Prepare an umbrella, it will probably rain at night."

Seeing Tan Ning busy in the captain's office, Ge Dongming's face became more and more ugly.

Ge Dongming didn't go to the party that night, and Tan Ning didn't specifically greet him.During the dinner, Tan Ning always had a smile on his face, and his colleagues teased him, saying that a man like him is very rare, and he can be introduced to good girls.Tan Ning always responded with a smile without saying a word. When someone asked what type of girl he liked, a messy thought flashed through his mind.

Was it really infected by that Situ in the world five years later?Tan Ning smiled wryly in her heart.

After ten o'clock in the evening, Tan Ning returned to the dormitory.Gently opened the door and found that Ge Dongming had already fallen asleep.He took his things lightly and went to the public bathroom to take a shower. When he came back, he saw half of Ge Dongming's blanket fell on the ground. He walked over to pick it up and covered it for him. When he turned and walked to his bed, he was suddenly pulled Hold the wrist.

"How much did you drink?" The man who hadn't slept all this time asked stiffly.

"Not much, three bottles. Go to sleep."

"Three bottles?" Ge Dongming sat up dissatisfied, "You only have one bottle, why drink so much?"

"No way, they are all seniors."

"What senior!"

Hearing the anger in his words, Tan Ning turned over and sat on the side of his bed: "Dongming, I know you are in a hurry, thinking about your sister-in-law and the team. But we can't find a way to go back now, acting too strange will cause Attention everyone, who would believe that the two of us came here five years later?"

"That's not what I mean." Ge Dongming sighed, "I'm just weird. Tell me, how did we both become younger? It's really time-traveled, and it should look like five years later. If it's five years later The us in this world have been swapped with the us five years ago, so why hasn’t the memory changed? Where have we gone in this world? Have we been changed to five years later?”

Listening to his rambling speculations, Tan Ning's drowsy mind became even more confused, his eyes were half-closed, and his body swayed.Ge Dongming quickly reached out to support him, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"Dizziness." Before the words finished, he fell headlong.

"Tan Zi!" Ge Dongming embraced the drunk man, and placed his head on his shoulders, carefully looking at his reddish face, "Are you thirsty?"

Shaking her head, Tan Ning really wanted to get up and go back to her own bed, but she felt dizzy and weak, so she could only say, "Help me back to the bed, and sleep well."

"Stupid, you still drink with them even though you know you can't drink well. Who cares if you're uncomfortable?"

Hearing his complaints, Tan Ning laughed instead, and rubbed his shoulder unconsciously: "You take care of me, I took care of you for five years, and you will take care of me tonight."

"You are buying vegetables at the vegetable market, and you are still bargaining?"

"I'm joking. If I really can't go back, I can take care of you for another five years." After speaking, Tan Ning suddenly thought of something, pushed Ge Dongming to sit up, and looked at him with misty eyes, "At that time, if I You wouldn't come here without holding you. Hate me?"

"What are you getting drunk on? Go to sleep now." With that said, Ge Dongming got out of bed and helped Tan Ning to send him back to the opposite bed.Tan Ning staggered and leaned half of his body on his body, limp and powerless.

Ge Dongming supported him cautiously, not forgetting to scold, "You are not allowed to go out to drink again in the future."

"This sounds like Situ's tone to Xiao Lin. Yes, in another year, we will see Lin Yao who has just graduated again. Let alone, I really miss it a bit." The person being supported murmured Gu said drunkenly, "Now we have the opportunity. You know all the cases in the past few years, and you will be promoted soon after solving the case. I am not used to calling you the deputy team these days."

"You seem to be calling me 'Dongming'? When did you call the deputy team?"

Tan Ning was supported to sit by the window, raised her head unsteadily, and said with a smile, "Which one do you like?"

"You still call me by my name."

"Dongming."

Ge Dongming's heart trembled for some reason this time with the familiar address.Looking down at Tan Ning, there was a smile on this ordinary face that he couldn't see through, it seemed yearning and more distressed.At this time, the faint moonlight reflected on Tan Ning's face through the curtains, making the corners of his mouth extraordinarily bright.By coincidence, Ge Dongming stretched out his hand, and the pulp of his thumb gently brushed the corner of his mouth.

Presumably, the slight itching on his face exacerbated his drowsiness. Tan Ning's eyes gradually closed, and his head crookedly pressed against Ge Dongming's palm.

What you start with is firm but not delicate skin.Ge Dongming's breathing suddenly changed rhythm, and the other hand grabbed Tan Ning's shoulder and put him on the body, and the palm of his hand ran along his back to comfort him.Thinking about this person who always hides his distress to comfort himself no matter when and where, how much is on his mind?

"Tanzi, just tell me if you feel uncomfortable, don't be bored."

Some sober people smiled slightly: "What can I do? I'm alone, and I live the same life everywhere. It's just that I'm hurting you and throwing away my family and career."

"What bad words?" Ge Dongming smiled and patted Tan Ning on the back.The other party laughed out loud.The light and shallow laughter seemed to tickle the itch in his heart, and the hand touched his cheek unconsciously.

I don't know if sitting like this will cause him to fall asleep, but Tan Ning has always urged him to be more awake with his strict self-discipline.He pushed Ge Dongming away and said, "Go to sleep, I'm still at work tomorrow."

Speaking of tomorrow, Ge Dongming turned cold and said seriously: "Don't work for that bastard, you are my follower."

"Ten thousand years, I know."

Dissatisfied with his joking attitude, Ge Dongming grabbed his wrists and forced him to look at himself: "Don't take it to heart."

Tan Ning smiled wryly and looked up at him.Looking at each other for a moment, Ge Dongming was dumbfounded.Tan Ning had already leaned in front of him, and asked him like a different person: "What should I do if I can't go back?"

"I'm not afraid of anyone who has a family and a job. What are you afraid of? Go to bed quickly."

People who drink too much are still irrational.Tan Ning shook off his hand and said, "Everything has to start all over again, family business, I'll let you..."

"Okay, Tan Ning! Stop talking." Pushing the drunk man onto the bed, he helped him take off his shoes.

Tan Ning fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, and Ge Dongming couldn't help shaking his head watching him.This person may never be able to correct this problem.Does he only do this to himself, or does he do this to everyone?Ge Dongming didn't want to think about this answer before, but tonight, he plans to think about it seriously.

Early the next morning, Tan Ning and Ge Dongming left the dormitory one step at a time.People who have been thinking about it in the middle of the night wake up and see that the opposite bed is empty, and they feel uncomfortable.Today is special to him, I wonder if Tan Ning still remembers it?

When they arrived at the office, they saw the captain talking with Tan Ning.The content is very healthy, and it is all work experience, but Ge Dongming just feels unhappy.Walked over and patted the captain on the shoulder: "Is the meeting about to start?"

"Ah, there is still half an hour. You are busy first, and I will chat with Xiao Tan for a while."

"You asked him to prepare materials, and then asked him to chat with you. When did you become used to manipulating newcomers?"

Unaware of the displeasure in Ge Dongming's words, the team leader patted Tan Ning's shoulder happily, and said with a smile, "It's hard work for those who are able. This little Tan is capable, and his words are reliable. Let me tell you, Dongming, don't talk to me." Grab it, when Xiao Tan becomes an apprentice from Lao Liu, I will accept him as..."

"What are you waiting for? You are the captain of the detective team, not the boss of the gangster. Hurry up and go to the meeting!"

Ge Dongming drove away the captain who really had no wrong thoughts, turned his head to look at the smiling Tan Ning, and gave him a hard look.

The meeting did not go smoothly. At about ten o'clock in the morning, two bodies were found in the urban area after receiving a call from the police.The criminal investigation brigade came out in full force.

As he got closer to the scene of the crime, Ge Dongming's expression became serious.In his memory, the murderer of this murder case was someone in the industry, and his status was not low.I thought that I was almost dragged down by this case and blamed. If he hadn't used his extraordinary performance to find conclusive evidence against the other party, there would be no special case team leader Ge Dongming in the future.However, his distress was not because of this, but because today was the day he met his wife.

Everything is the same as what I have experienced before, a deadly corpse with a knife; a clean scene;

When Tan Ning saw the reporter, he deliberately avoided it.He turned around and walked to the back door of the crime scene, seemingly looking for something.At some point, Ge Dongming came over behind him and said abruptly, "You know there are no clues here, so what are you looking for?"

Tan Ning turned her head and smiled, "Pretending to be." After saying that, he pushed Ge Dongming, "Go, she's your future daughter-in-law."

At this time, the police officer who helped to make the record shouted at Ge Dongming: "Deputy team, come and help."

Tan Ning's eyes were glued to Ge Dongming's body, and in his eyes was the gentle smile he showed her, which was never given to her.The moment Ge Dongming walked out, the smile on Tan Ning's face could no longer be maintained, and there was a dull pain after the curtain ended.

I don't know if I was really infected by Situ, and I don't know when I got this feeling.When he found that Ge Dongming, who had always been regarded as a friend, buddy, and comrade-in-arms, had actually become the object of his liking, he knew that his relationship ended without a problem.What else can I do?Bear with it.

The investigation of the crime scene came to an end, and Ge Dongming drove the reporter girl back to the police station to make a mock portrait.Tan Ning was in the captain's car behind, chatting absent-mindedly with everyone along the way, and soon returned to the police station.

The police officers who were so busy all afternoon didn't even have time to eat.Tan Ning copied the organized clues and materials, archived what should be archived, and distributed what should be distributed.After the last copy was placed on Ge Dongming's desk, his voice was heard from outside the office.

Ge Dongming: "I'm sorry to trouble you all afternoon. I'll take you back later."

"Don't be so polite, I can go back by myself."

It's my sister-in-law, no, should I say my future sister-in-law now?Tan Ning smiled bitterly, unwilling to see the beginning of their love here.He took what was in his hand and was about to find an excuse to slip away, but was stopped by Lao Liu.Ge Dongming had already walked in with the girl.

From introducing each other to Tan Ning's departure, Ge Dongming didn't look at him during the period, all his attention was on the girl's young and pretty face.Tan Ning left the office as if fleeing, feeling the embarrassment he had never felt before.

Sitting in the corridor, he couldn't help but feel a little suffocated. Why was the little girl running?Didn't he just know that he has someone in his heart, so why are you sour?It's not the first day I've seen my sister-in-law, what's the matter?

Tan Ning swears in his heart, looking down on himself a bit.

A week passed with no progress in the case.Tan Ning was not in a hurry, because he knew when to find the real clue.During this week, the future sister-in-law never showed up again, which made Tan Ning feel a lot easier.And Ge Dongming didn't seem to have changed, it was still the same as usual.Exactly, they're business as usual.

This afternoon, the captain came back from the outside and brought everyone a lot of cold drinks to cool off the heat. Tan Ning felt sick to his stomach after drinking it.When he was about to get off work, he was so painful that he couldn't straighten up. He went to the tea room to get a cup of hot water and just sat down. Ge Dongming came in from the outside, took a look, and said, "Stomach hurts." ?”

"Yeah." Tan Ning nodded, "Maybe I've caught a cold."

"Go to the hospital first, don't eat out at night, I'll cook noodles for you."

"You don't need to go to the hospital, just go back and lie down for a while."

Looking at his slightly pale face, Ge Dongming clicked his tongue impatiently: "Don't wait, let's go now."

Tan Ning didn't have the strength to speak, so he let him go to the office to get things and prepare to go back to the dormitory.The two walked slowly to the gate of the police station. Tan Ning saw the future sister-in-law standing outside at a glance, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Looking for you." Tan Ning stood up with a smile and pushed Ge Dongming over.

The girl smiled shyly and said, "I want to treat you to dinner."

"Me?" Ge Dongming pretended to be surprised, "Why?"

"Yesterday, you invited me."

Yesterday...it turned out that he didn't return to the dormitory until after eleven o'clock yesterday to go on a date.Tan Ning's face turned to one side, still maintaining a habitual smile.Over there, Ge Dongming scratched his head, as if hesitating.

The girl added: "Today is my birthday."

"I know." Ge Dongming said softly.

The girl widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "You know?"

Oops!I slipped away.Ge Dongming quickly changed his words, "I have seen your ID card, so I know."

"Then, you, will you let me invite you?"

While Ge Dongming was hesitating, Tan Ning came over and said with a smile, "Talk slowly, I'll go first."

His footsteps did not hesitate, and soon disappeared in Ge Dongming's surprised eyes.

The girl asked Ge Dongming a little puzzled: "Does your colleague have any objections to me? The eyes are a bit scary."

"He's not feeling well."

Stomach hurts so much.My heart seems to be more uncomfortable.When Tan Ning returned to the dormitory, he fell headlong on the bed, and the dinner and medicine that he needed were all thrown out of the sky.He didn't want to get up to cook the noodles by himself, what he wanted to eat were the unpalatable noodles cooked by that person.He covered his eyes with his arms, and wanted to cover up the unwillingness in his heart.It's just that some things are out of your control.The feeling of falling in love with him, the friendship he didn't want to give up because of his secret love, and the bitterness he endured alone have long been beyond his control.

Tan Ning didn't like this situation, and he didn't want to be immersed in sour feelings all day long.Men, you should focus on your career!So, enduring the stomachache, he stood up, took out the case information, and re-analyzed it.

The door was suddenly pushed open vigorously!Tan Ning turned back to look at the panting Ge Dongming in surprise: "You, why are you back? Did you forget your wallet?"

Ignoring his teasing, Ge Dongming closed the door with a gloomy face, strode over, grabbed the materials in his hand and threw them aside, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, eat."

"Fart! What about the medicine, have you taken it?"

"Eat, did not eat."

"Get up and go to the hospital!"

Tan Ning was dumbfounded, but at the same time he felt warm and happy in his heart.However, he seemed to be thinking more.These "more" are difficult to control, he shook off Ge Dongming's hand: "I will take care of myself."

"Do not eat or take medicine, is this how you take care of yourself?"

"It's really fine." Tan Ning smiled, "Hurry up and go, don't make sister-in-law wait."

Ge Dongming looked a little angry, and asked him coldly, "Are you sure you want me to go?"

Does it matter if it's not sure?Tan Ning forced a smile: "Let's go, I'm fine."

"Tan Ning." Ge Dongming took a deep breath, "We have a chance now."

What's the meaning?Tan Ning looked at him stupidly.

"I can't do it over there, and neither can you. Now, if you want to give up, I have nothing to say, but I don't want to give up."

hell!What the hell is he talking about?Tan Ning was speechless in surprise.

"Don't look at the information any more, just lie down. I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you."

"Cooked noodles? What kind of noodles?"

"Stupid, how can you take medicine if you don't eat?"

"Where's sister-in-law? Didn't you go on a date?"

It was the first time that Ge Dongming showed a gentle smile to Tan Ning, which bluntly expressed a feeling that made people blush and heartbeat.Then, he ignored Tan Ning who was stunned, and turned to cook noodles.

"Dongming!" Tan Ning, who had finally come to his senses, sprinted to grab him, "You, can you speak more clearly."

"Isn't that enough to understand?"

Tan Ning shook her head vigorously.Ge Dongming smiled, leaned over with a smile, and kissed lightly on the lips that were not beautiful but liked very much.He smiled and asked, "Is it clear now?"

The blushing person was stunned!After a few seconds of stupidity, I realized that I asked: "You, your date..."

"As I said, I have an opportunity now, and I don't want to give up. I sent her home, and we will be friends in the future, not future husband and wife. Here, I want to eat the same bowl of noodles and sleep in the same bed with you. I did everything I couldn’t do in five years’ time.”

A hot stream stuck in his chest, making Tan Ning almost choke up.He tried his best to conceal his excitement, and lowered his head: "No, no. If we go back, you, how do you face your sister-in-law?"

This is a very realistic situation, but Ge Dongming laughed and said, "I met a man just now. He is outside, you can listen to him."

who?Tan Ning watched Ge Dongming open the door in surprise. There was not one person but two people outside.One is a young man about 23 or [-] years old, and the other is a boy of seventeen or eighteen.He didn't know this handsome young man, but he was very familiar with the man, so he couldn't help exclaiming: "Doctor!"

Seeing the hostility in Tan Ning's eyes, Wei Jun stretched out his hand lazily to show his harmlessness: "Don't be so surprised." After saying that, he patted the shoulder of the boy next to him, "Xiao An, go outside and wait for me for a while. My old friend and I Talk about the old days."

The pretty boy left obediently.The doctor entered the room and closed the door, and said with a smile: "I don't know what it is. After being bombed to death, I seem to be reborn, or I have passed through. When I open my eyes, I see the world five years ago. I like it very much. The life you have now, I think, you like very much. For the sake of our dealings, I will tell you a cruel thing."

Tan Ning stared: "If you dare to commit crimes, we will not let you go!"

"Don't be so fierce." Wei Jun shrugged, "As I said, I like the life I have now."

"Then what do you want to tell me?"

"We can't go back. I've tried various methods and found many experts. The conclusion is that we swap with ourselves five years ago. We can never go back. So, cherish it."

Wei Jun left, but Tan Ning was still angry.He questioned Ge Dongming: "Why didn't you arrest him?"

"What's the reason? He didn't do anything illegal here, how can I catch him?"

Hearing the implication, Tan Ning asked, "You didn't meet him just now, you have already met him, haven't you?"

"I can't hide it from you. I met him a week ago. After that, I started to investigate the current Wei Jun. He is a school doctor in a noble school, and he is very responsible. We have contacted a few times, and this guy seems to be I don’t want to have anything to do with the association, I’m only interested in the kid next to him. But don’t worry, I’ll always keep an eye on him, no matter who he is, I’ll arrest him if he breaks the law.”

So, his purpose of bringing Wei Jun here is to tell himself that he will never return to the world five years later?In other words, they really have a chance!

Seeing Tan Ning's stunned look, Ge Dongming smiled.Walked up to him and hugged the man for the first time.

Tan Ning said in a muffled voice, "That doctor, you have to keep an eye on it from now on."

"Of course."

"I will still be your ten thousand year follower."

"Of course."

"From now on, we will save money to buy a house."

"Of course."

Ge Dongming took his coat and took Tan Ning out: "Go to the hospital first, you need to have a good health when you are in love."

Tan Ning couldn't laugh or cry: "Deputy team, don't be so realistic."

"It's called Dongming!"

Tan Ning frowned with a smile, and called softly... Dongming.
