at your side

During the week of stomach surgery, Huang Shimu found that although Ruzhen also came to see him, he used honorifics again, and when he came, he just stood quietly behind Dean Jin, Jin Zhengben, and Secretary Cui.When discussing the closing of the case together, everyone is still professional, strict, and meticulous. As a partner, this performance is of course impeccable.

Stayed for dinner, and did not.

A person came to visit alone, no.

Gifts, of course, have been gone for a long time.

He has always been used to alienation after others eagerly approach him, and Officer Han has never expressed any "eagerness" on his own initiative.In just twenty days of living together, he got used to having her by his side faster than he imagined.But now her emotions are no longer undisguised, and he can no longer judge how he should respond from her expression, and it seems that he no longer needs his response.

On the morning when he was discharged from the hospital, Huang Shimu packed up his things by himself and sat in the empty ward lost in thought--hasn't it been decided?How his life is spent.

Isn't this kind of alienation that doesn't require him to take the initiative to push it away, isn't it the best ending, just like when he was transferred to the South China Sea two years ago.

Back at the apartment, I ran into the neighbor's elder brother downstairs, "You have a guest who has been waiting at the door, and they said they couldn't contact you."

Looking at the phone, I forgot to charge it for the first time.Just because of this sentence, various emotions surged in his empty heart, and the overwhelming one was the enthusiasm of an iceberg being melted into magma.

When he came out of the elevator, he was stunned. There was a man standing at the door. He looked no different from any ordinary old man walking his dog on the street. He was so unfamiliar that he needed a second glance to recognize that it was his father.

Huang Shimu was at a loss for three seconds, then he bowed lightly and sighed in a voice that no one could hear, "Please sit inside."

"Oh..." The other party was also very cautious, with tears flickering in his timid eyes.

Huang Shimu was glad that the black tea left by Ruzhen was still there, and he didn't just entertain his father, whom he hadn't seen for many years, with a glass of white water.

The other party looked at the apartment for a week, and when he saw the graffiti left by Ruzhen on the table, he showed a particularly relieved expression, "You can sit too."

He sat down in silence.

"If there are no accidents, this is the last time I will go back to Korea." The old man said these words with difficulty, not daring to meet his eyes, "I want to see you before I leave. I saw your video on the Internet before, work It seems that everything is going well. Your mother has already said hello." Looking up at him, he gritted his teeth and took out a bulging envelope from his bag.

Huang Shimu frowned and opened it to take a look. It was full of US dollars.

"Take it, it's not much, but it's your share." The old man's lips began to tremble.

Huang Shimu thought for a while, and it can be said that his brain just retrieved the conclusions he thought two years ago, but it still took a lot of effort to say it, "Dad,"

Hearing this call, the old man was shocked first, and looked up at him in disbelief.

"I thought about it two years ago, and I want to tell you, it's best to say it in person like this," he paused, "I never blamed you, and I don't hate anyone. I have always only hoped that you Live happily." He said these words as calmly as if he was presenting his case in court.

The old man couldn't believe his ears, and the emotions he managed to maintain almost collapsed, "My child... are you all right?" His tone was full of doubts.

Huang Shimu smiled bitterly in his heart, that is impossible, can the part that has been removed grow back again.He shook his head and said sadly, "It doesn't matter if it's good or not, you don't have to worry about me anymore."

The old man wiped his eyes and calmed down, sighed for a long time, "You're right, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, as long as you are like this and have someone by your side." After speaking, he took a sip of tea.

Feeling moved in Huang Shimu's heart, he also bowed his head to drink tea, and the faint fragrance came over his face.The mist on his mind mirror gradually faded, and everything became clear.

The door was opened, and Ruzhen appeared in the entrance with a suitcase.The three of them stared wide-eyed and froze in mid-air for a while.

Huang Shimu first broke the stagnant air and introduced: "This is police officer Han Ruzhen who worked together, and this is my father."

"Hello, Uncle." Ruzhen hurriedly nodded and bowed down to say hello, and when she saw the old man's gaze on the box in her hand, she explained awkwardly, "I'm really sorry to bother you, I'm here to pick up something, I thought Prosecutor Huang was discharged from the hospital Then I went to work directly." The last sentence did not dare to be said out loud.

"Officer Han lived here because of his mission to protect me." Huang Shimu explained.

No one asked you why you said this! Han Ruzhen could only smirk and nod, "I need it for work, and the superior ordered it."

"That's it, then Police Officer Han, Shimu will be counting on you." The old man sincerely begged with his eyes that saw through everything.

"Ah, okay... I can come over later, so I don't bother you."

"Oh, no. I was leaving, Officer Han. I have a request. It's very rude, but I still want you to agree."

"Where it is, uncle, just tell me."

"Are you free later?"

"Are you free? Well, there should be. Uncle, what do you want?"

"Then can you please take me to the airport with Shimu? This is the last time I'm coming back, and I don't want to be so bleak when I leave."

"... Me? Shall I join you too? Oh yes, no problem." Ruzhen gave Huang Shimu a wild look, but Huang Jian didn't respond as if he didn't see it.

Ruzhen had no choice but to put down the suitcase, and followed Huang Shimu and his father to the airport. On the way, Huang Shimu's father and Ruzhen chatted cheerfully. Officer Han is really a character who can get along with anyone.Huang Shimu heard them talking about his childhood without shyness, but he wanted to stop him but couldn't get in.

Before entering the station, Papa Huang hesitated for a long time, but finally he didn't come forward to hug him, but shook his hand vigorously.Huang Shimu took out the envelope from his pocket and returned it to him. The old man backed down a few times, and took it back at his insistence.Only then did Huang Shimu really smile, his eyes were red.Seeing his son's smile, the old man almost cried again. Before entering the security check, he bowed deeply to Ruzhen, waved to the two of them, and disappeared behind the door with great strides.

Ru Zhen said with emotion, "Now he no longer has any regrets in his life."

Huang Shimu gave her a strange look, and the smile on his face quickly collapsed.Although he didn't know why, he just felt that the sullenness in his heart was almost uncontrollable.

"Let's go back."

"Oh..." Ru Zhen hurriedly followed, she didn't want to bump into Prosecutor Huang's personal affairs.After so many things happened, she really couldn't live in his house anymore. Knowing that he was discharged from the hospital today, she struggled for a long time the night before, and suddenly remembered that she had left two clothes in his cloakroom and forgot to bring them back.She knew that Huang Shimu was likely to go directly to work from the hospital, and would not stay long even if she returned home, but she still chose to go there in the morning...

"Speaking of which, Prosecutor Huang today--" Ruzhen wanted to interrupt, but seeing the other party's eyes, he couldn't tell the lie he had prepared, "Is it better?"

"Yes, I was discharged from the hospital today. What did Officer Han come to get?"

"Oh, that, I didn't mean to trespass while you were away, but I suddenly remembered that there were two clothes still in your closet. I should have asked you to deliver them to me. I just wanted to go back and see if there were any more. Something else, too..."

"Then go get it now."

"Oh, don't worry, don't you still have to go to work? It's time for me to go to the office too."

Huang Shimu looked at his watch. In fact, he wanted to talk to Ruzhen, but it was really getting late, so he had no choice but to compromise with his work. "Then take you to the Longshan Department on the way. Come and get it at night."

"Just near Longshan Station." This point can be readily agreed.

The atmosphere in the car was pretentiously frank and embarrassing. Ruzhen turned on the radio, and the news was scrolling the latest investigation results of the Supreme Procuratorate on cults. Ruzhen listened intently all the way, and sighed: "Now Korea and North Korea have no rivals. From now on, I’m afraid that the Cheong Wa Dae will become the only one in the family.”

"Song Daihao hasn't fully explained it yet, and the higher-ups blamed all the bombings on Zhongai. I don't think it's that simple." Ruzhen was angry and helpless, and patted the front of the car bitterly.

Huang Shimu secretly felt relieved when he saw her like this. Ruzhen is still a passionate person who hasn't changed at all. "Whether the prosecution or the police, the most important duty is to defend the law and protect civilians. Political struggles are not our business." His implication is that at least the chain bombings have been prevented this time.He also rescued many victims of house arrest.

"It's just being used like this, I'm not reconciled." Ruzhen sighed, and suddenly remembered something, looked outside the car, patted Huang Shimu's arm and said, "Just let me here."

"Here?" Huang Shimu was just about to turn the topic back, but he didn't expect Ruzhen to ask to get out of the car.Isn't Li Lian near the Art Charity Foundation here? Could it be that she can find out something there?

"Well, I still have a doubt in my heart. I always feel that Han Chao is not innocent in this matter. Let's talk to you together tonight."

Huang Shimu pulled over and stopped, "Please contact me before you come tonight."

Ruzhen nodded, turned around and strode away.

Huang Shimu looked at her back and remembered that time when she shouted to herself in the car: straighten your waist! He heard it but didn't look back.What kind of mood you really feel must be different from his current mood.

When the car was approaching the Procuratorate, a piece of news was suddenly broadcast on the radio: "An explosion occurred at the Art Charity Foundation of the Han-Korean Group. The police have cordoned off the scene, waiting for fire rescue." Huang Shimu turned the steering wheel and drove back without thinking. Make real calls.

No one answered.

Called again, no one answered.

He glanced at the road conditions and found that it would take 8 or [-] minutes to arrive.The buzzing in his ears gradually started, but his head didn't hurt, but he was very calm.He fell once, twice, three times, and he had to get over himself, and this time he really couldn't fall again.

Already seeing thick smoke rising in the air from a distance, Huang Shimu got out of the car while repeatedly calling Ruzhen on the phone, while running against the crowd towards the monstrous smoke and flames, someone bumped into him, someone fell in front of him, He hastily picked up one, and stepped aside to pass the other, his eyes never leaving the door.

The foundation is a three-story courtyard-style building. After the explosion, there is no roof or outline.On this day, there was a charity sale of handicrafts for impoverished children. There were many parents who brought their children to see, and there were crying and shouting everywhere, tearing his nerves.

Finally, Huang Shimu saw a familiar face. It was police officer Zhang Jian. His clothes had been burned with several holes, his face was covered with soot, and there were large bloodstains on one arm and neck. He had just sent a woman out.

"Huang Jian! Hey, don't go in. The structure is about to fail!"

"Where's Officer Han?"

"...She called me and said she knew where the key evidence was, and asked me to come and join her. So she should have come to find Li Lian?...The explosion happened in the president's office," Zhang Jian looked back One glance, and when he turned back, his eyes were already filled with tears, "It's already burned up over there."

Huang Shimu only saw his mouth talking, and he couldn't hear what he said at all. He could tell from the other person's expression: no one survived.He just said, "Protect the people from evacuating." He continued to make phone calls while walking in.

Zhang Jian only had time to stop him with his injured hand, but he was unable to block him, "Huang Jian! The explosion may continue, and you can't go in if it collapses! Huang Jian!"

The edge of Huang Shimu's vision slowly turned black, shrinking inward, which was a sign of his fainting.But when he thought of Ruzhen's back just now, and the way she spoke and got angry, the black hole receded a little bit, and the world became brighter.In any case, he couldn't let the light go out.

13 minutes, 13 minutes is the time for a person to survive in the smoke.He didn't know how long Ruzhen had been in the thick smoke before he came, but he believed that Ruzhen would do his best to protect her, and would not give up as long as there was a chance of survival. She must be waiting for rescue somewhere.

The collapse was still going on. With almost blind courage and calm judgment, Huang Shimu walked through the corridor and courtyard along the route where the fire sprinkler was still running. In a trance, the burning anxiety in the dream became reality.I don't know how many times I helped others put out the fire on their bodies, and finally walked against the crowd to the outside of the small building of the chairman's office where the core explosion occurred.

The building was completely in ruins.

There is no sign of survival, and the scorching smell is especially obvious when it is close to the corpse. At this time, Section Chief Yin’s tearful description echoed in his ears. It turns out that this is how it feels to lose a loved one. This is how it feels .The black hole in his field of vision shrank sharply again. He wanted to get rid of Chief Yin's tearful face, but he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. It seemed that his brain suddenly played a malicious joke on him, and his eyes were covered with cold fingers little by little.

Huang Shimu was really at a loss, "Officer Han! Han Ruzhen! Han Ruzhen, answer me!" He wanted to use up his last bit of strength before his vision was completely closed.

"Huang Jian? Huang Shimu! Thank God, you are here! Come and help!" Han Ruzhen helped Li Lian, whose face was covered in ashes and disfigured, as he stumbled out of a collapsed pit behind the ruins.

Huang Shimu turned his head and looked over in disbelief. He felt that he could see and breathe again when he heard Ruzhen's voice. He lifted the burnt wooden board covering it with his bare hands and pulled the two of them up.

"Is it still possible to go out?" Ru Zhen asked while panting.

"There is an automatic sprinkler." Huang Shimu replied simply. "Cover your mouth and nose!"

"Well. Just now the collection warehouse in her basement suddenly exploded, and we were trapped inside. Fortunately, there was an exit along the maintenance pipeline, and the evidence was preserved." Ru Zhen patted his pocket and looked at Huang Shimu, but the other party only looked at Huang Shimu. There was no response at all from Kanlu.

Following the route Huang Shimu came in, they met the first wave of firefighters entering the fire in the safe area, and Li Lian was escorted into the ambulance.Ruzhen took out the evidence USB flash drive from his pocket and held it in front of him like a child showing off candy. Huang Shimu didn't say anything or think about anything, he took her arm and hugged her.

"Wow, why are you so happy? Before, even the highfive..." Ru really felt that today's prosecutor was a little different, she stopped talking and just stood there cooperatively.

"Officer Han? Are you okay?!" Zhang Jian also followed in, exclaiming in surprise.

Ruzhen struggled for a while but didn't struggle away. He patted Huang Shimu on the back before breaking free. Zhang Jian was a little embarrassed to see this scene. He opened his arms and hugged Zhang Jian and patted his back. Heroic said, "Oh, what could happen to me. But this time, it's thanks to Huang Jian, it's like a superhero! Isn't this the witnesses and the physical evidence? How about the casualties at the scene? Have any suspects been found? Is it the fish that slipped through the net of love?"

"Wow, thanks to you still thinking about the case, you scared me to death just now, you didn't see Huang Jian's face, you were going to kill someone. Fortunately, it's okay." Zhang Jian had seen through the dishonest window between the two of them. Paper deliberately said, "Huang Jian, since Officer Han is fine, leave it to us here. If you don't take Li Lian away, my colleague will..."

Huang Shimu came back to his senses and glanced at him dissatisfied, and said politely, "Then, the evidence..."

Ruzhen slapped the USB flash drive in his hand.Zhang Jian complained dissatisfiedly: "Hey, our police obviously got it. Why did you just give it to him like this!"

"Don't divide up at this time, besides, they rushed into the flames to save people."

Huang Shimu glanced at her, but still left by mistake.

"Look, just now she looked a little human, but now... she doesn't even have a word of comfort. What's the good of it, hey. I don't understand you two."

"Don't talk too much if you don't understand." Ru Zhen patted him hard, "Don't help save people."

At 10:30 in the evening, Ru Zhen dragged his tired legs and knocked on the door of Huang Shimu's house.

After changing her slippers, she threw herself on the sofa. In her eyes, the sofa was already a bed. "Remember to change the password, so that things like that in the morning won't happen." From the corner of her eye, the coffee table was neatly arranged The clothes she was going to take away were stacked, really, Zhang Jian was right, Huang Shimu was really an impeccable bastard.

She really felt that she had never been so tired, not only her body, but also this heart that was beating non-stop for him, was too tired.

"Can I... Oh, forget it." What she wants to do most now is to take a bath. Although it's a bit embarrassing, it won't work for Huang Shimu.It was only after she thought about it that she remembered that she had no clothes to change here.

"I have something to ask you, Officer Han," Huang Shimu saw that she got up to leave, "let's live together."

"Hmm. What?" Ruzhen looked at him incredulously, and sat back on the sofa.

"Here or your house." He handed over a cup of hot tea, wearing the gray jumper he wore in judo before, which looked very comfortable.

"why?"

"Safety."

You really rolled your eyes. "Although I was saved today, I still don't want you to protect me, the prosecutor."

"My safety."

"What?" Ruzhen was even more puzzled.

"When I had a headache and lost consciousness, it was relieved by Officer Han's side. It seems to have happened before."

"Do I still have this effect? ​​Did the doctor tell you when you were discharged from the hospital?" Ruzhen was amused by Huang Shimu's seriousness.

"I think it's because I love you." Huang Shimu said unhurriedly while drinking tea.

"Aha, what?!" Ru really felt that the direction of the conversation was beginning to be strange.

"I just like it, the kind you said, the so-called first love."

"What, stop being funny, Prosecutor Huang." Ruzhen was struggling in his heart, a little happy, a little shy and a little tangled, and blurted out what he cared about the most all the time, "You are so old, what is your first love? Besides, Wasn't Huang Jian's first love ever... justice?"

"Huh? Justice?"

"Hey~ Forget it, I didn't say it~" Ruzhen sighed and kept calm, pretended to look at his watch, and stood up successfully this time, "Oh, it's getting late, I'll go back first. Today is really, all the clothes are gone. ...Oh no, the sofa is also dirty." Before Nunyu turned around and left, he saw Huang Shimu standing up at a loss, looking anxious and dazed.She made up her mind, leaned over and hugged him gently, put her chin on his shoulder, and patted his back twice, "I thought I couldn't wait for your words."

This time Huang Shimu didn't let her break free easily, and the matter of embracing was really more sinking than imagined.

The mobile phone on the coffee table rang untimely, "Minister Huang, are you really not answering?" Ru Zhen's voice was full of laughter.

He let go of his hand awkwardly, and Ruzhen blushed and packed the clothes on the coffee table into the big bag he carried, and pointed to the door.She had to take advantage of the moment when she regained her senses to escape quickly, or she would really fall completely.

While Huang Shimu was on the phone, the prosecutor below called to ask for advice on a certain case. He grabbed her arm as if he had guessed that she was going to run, and shook his head to signal her to wait a while.You really had no choice but to wait at the door.

Finally hung up the phone, Huang Shimu let go with a sullen look on his face.

"There will be a morning meeting tomorrow, the bombing case." Ru Zhen explained apologetically, and she asked herself, what can I be sorry for if I don't stay!

In the small space at the entrance, the two of them stood very cramped, and the sound of disordered breathing was clearly discernible. Huang Shimu saw the deep tiredness on her face, lowered his head and sighed heavily, and finally took a step back, " Then, I will send you off."

"No need. The prosecutor has worked hard, so let's go to bed earlier."

Ruzhen sat in the back of the taxi, thinking about the time Huang Shimu was drunk, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.Today, the driver is also a chatty uncle. Seeing her expression in the rearview mirror, he joked, "Did you just come back from a date? I see that you are in a good mood."

"Hey, what a date." Ru Zhen quickly waved his hand, "It's just... that I'm in a good mood."

--

--Proposal

After eating the miso soup, Huang Shimu wiped his mouth, pondered for a while, and looked up at Ruzhen: "Get married."

You really didn't understand, so you agreed first, "Hmm... um? Get married, who will marry who?"

"We..." He raised his chin, a little out of shy arrogance.

"Hey?" Ruzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately realized, "What's the case again, marriage fraud? I asked Minister Huang if he could say hello in advance next time, and my heart stopped in fright."

Huang Shimu looked at her with an unfathomable expression (in fact, he was too frustrated and didn't know how to end it), stood up after a while, picked up his coat, "Let's go."

"I haven't finished eating yet, hey, what's the matter with this man?" Ru Zhen chased him out, complaining and sweet.

"How does Huang Jian view marriage?" Ru Zhen asked curiously while walking on the road.

"Marriage is a change in the civil relationship between two people."

"That's true." Ruzhen echoed and waited for a long time, "...is there nothing else?"

"What else?" Huang Shimu was confused.

Ru Zhen encouraged him to think of other answers like a patient kindergarten teacher, and the two looked at each other for a long time, "Forget it, cut, what do I really expect." She rolled her eyes and muttered as she walked in In front, followed by the aggrieved Minister Huang.

After getting in the car, the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous. Ruzhen turned to look at him, and he looked back. There was a flash of light in the air, and the two quickly turned to the other side.

"Listen to some music." Ruzhen turned on the radio.

The journey was short and the car was warm.

Ruzhen fell asleep with her head tilted on the back of the chair, and her right hand, which was injured during the arrest during the day, let go of the strap.Huang Shimu finally dared to show a little smile on his face, and drove to the tower of Ruzhen's house, parked the car and turned off the engine. He took out his mobile phone and quietly checked the information for a while, processed a few emails, and then really had nothing to do up.

For the first time, I felt that it was good to have nothing to do.

Maybe this is the meaning of marriage, having someone by your side makes your heart flutter when you have nothing to do.Thinking of the time when Ruzhen fell asleep in his office, Police Officer Han really fell asleep like an uncle, is this also a professional requirement...

"Hmm -- it's so comfortable to sleep!" Ru Zhen woke up after stretching her waist, the wound on her hand touched the car window, causing her to curl up into a ball and gasp for air in pain.

Huang Shimu frowned dissatisfiedly, unable to stand this careless look.

"Ah, isn't this my house? Hey, why didn't you wake me up? It's already 08:30, so I'm leaving, thank you for taking me back." Seeing his disgusted face, Ruzhen hurried out of the car with a few polite words.

Huang Shimu also came down, and his eyes signaled Ruzhen to invite him to sit up for a meeting.

You really don't want to, why do you let him succeed every time, and what kind of expression he had just now, "Minister Huang, walk slowly, please drive carefully." He disappeared behind the door briskly.

Huang Shimu had no choice but to go home after being rejected. He suddenly missed the days when he was a case-handling robot. That was his flawless youth.

Just as he was about to reverse the car, he had to stop to deal with the reply to the email he just sent.It has been more than ten minutes since I sent the email again.

The door of Ruzhen's house suddenly opened, and Ruzhen changed into casual clothes and jumped about to buy beer.

Huang Shimu rolled down the car window with a look of pride in catching a thief.

Ruzhen curled his lips first, and smiled when he turned his eyes, "Yeah, Minister Huang hasn't left yet, it's been 10 minutes. I didn't expect that Minister Huang would be such an idiot when he's in love."

Huang Shimu held up his mobile phone and couldn't argue, "No..." How could Ruzhen give him a chance to fight back, "Wow, it's really a first love, first love. It's understandable, whose first love is not like this, it's really completely understandable..." While talking, he has already slipped away.

Does Huang Shimu have anything to do with her? No.

--move place

"When is the lease term for the house?"

"..." Ruzhen smiled, and said to him from left to right, "It's so cold, it looks like it's going to snow."

Huang Shimu hit another soft nail. I don't know why every time you bring up this topic recently, your real reaction is to avoid it.This time, he can't be fooled anymore, "Is there any problem?"

"No, nothing."

"Aren't you going to move here?"

"..." Ruzhen lowered his head to eat the noodles again.

"If you think..."

"I didn't mean that." Ru really seemed afraid that he would say some reason, and interrupted him with a smile, "Yesterday, the lease expired."

Huang Shimu was quite surprised. He didn't expect to be in such a hurry. Does this mean that Ru really has renewed the contract, so even if you have to pay compensation... Well, after all, I don't know what Ru really intends.

"I've already told the landlord, I'm moving out next weekend." Ru Zhen put the wine glass to his lips, and took a sip.

Huang Shimu breathed a sigh of relief, but he always felt strange, "And then?"

You really looked into his eyes firmly, as if thinking about something, Minister Huang's observation and logical judgment are too strong, and she didn't want to easily add trouble to him with things she wasn't sure about.

The result of the struggle was that her rationality could not resist this terrible emotion, so she made up her mind, "I asked for leave on Friday, and moved in a little bit first. It might be messy, but don't mind if you see it." She poured the wine into the glass opposite , touched him.

"Oh." Huang Shimu let go of his hanging heart, but he didn't want to be happy too early.It's not Ruzhen's style to hesitate to talk like this.

"Then see you on Friday, I'm going back to pack my things." Ru really seemed to have remembered something, smiled slightly, and left Minister Huang in the myth of how to talk about what women are thinking when they are in love. .

After a week of extraordinarily hard work, the number of files on Minister Huang's desk decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chief Jin and Secretary Cui wanted to ask but dared not ask, so they bit the bullet and cooperated until Friday. Thinking of Huang Shimu coming out on time after work, holding the last signed document, "Send this to Jiang Jian. Thank you for your hard work."

"Anything else?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, you go slowly."

The two looked at each other - there must be a big deal!

Huang Shimu glanced at the quiet phone, and still received a text message from Ruzhen at three o'clock in the afternoon: "The password hasn't changed, I'm in." The heart finally fell down, and began to become subtly excited.Suddenly remembered Jin Zhengben's trick, shouldn't he bring a bunch of flowers back home?

He searched for a nearby flower shop and quickened his pace.

"Welcome." The florist smiled sweetly, "What flower do you want to choose?"

"..." Huang Shimu felt a little embarrassed, should he just buy a bunch as usual?

"Who are you going to give it to? Leader? Elder? Lover? Male or female?" The clerk was very patient.

"Give it to a police officer as a housewarming gift."

"Officer, it must have been hard work, how about choosing a potted plant that is easy to take care of?" Seeing his puzzled look, the florist deduced that the police officer was a single tough guy, and led him to the desert plants.

"How about this one?" The little girl held up a pot of green and tall fairy pillars that had been out of stock for a long time but were raised. The style alone coincided with his apartment. "It's easy to take care of, as long as it can be exposed to the sun."

Huang Shimu tilted his head and looked at it for a while, feeling that it was different from what he had originally expected, but he couldn't tell what made him feel a bit like Ruzhen, "Help me wrap it up."

So I walked back holding such a pot of fairy pillars that was nearly half a meter long. After ringing the doorbell, I heard Ruzhen's cheerful voice, "You are back!" My heart felt hot.

Opening the door and seeing the fairy pillar in his arms, Ru Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then took it over and smiled, "Giving it to me? Thank you. But where should I put it?"

Huang Shimu followed her gaze, but fortunately he was different from ordinary people and didn't exclaim.Is this still his apartment?Although he had cleared a large space in the living room for Ru Zhen to put the things he brought in the day before, he never expected that the first batch would be of this scale.He changed his shoes and walked into the living room, not even knowing where to put his bag.

Ruzhen looked apologetic, "Ah, I didn't expect you to come back so early, and you haven't had time to tidy up... Well, let's put the bag in the sink first. There is still a little space in the kitchen."

Huang Shimu waved his hand and refused, the smile that just entered the door has disappeared, "Hey Yigu, I really underestimated you. How come there are so many things, where are they usually hidden?" It is used to help you clean up.

"That... oops, haha. There's something I forgot to tell you. I just received an urgent mission, an international fugitive. I'm going to Thailand, and I'll be back in seven or eight days." Ruzhen came out with a suitcase.

"Can you find what you want to bring?" He pointed to the living room.

"Ahem, just a few clothes, it's hot over there. The plane at eight o'clock, I have to leave now. It's good if you come back early, and there is one more thing..." Ru Zhen smiled flatteringly, Huang Shimu's back felt cold for a while .

Suddenly there was a weak meowing from a certain corner, and Ru Zhen straddled piles of boxes, clothes, pots and pans, and fished out a big gray patterned cat from under the sofa.

"Hey..." Even Huang Shimu, who did not change his face when Mount Tai collapsed on the top, couldn't help frowning.

"I picked it up in the yard a few days ago. It was injured. I took it to the doctor. It was dewormed, but it didn't seem to be thorough. I couldn't take a bath because of the injury, but it recovered very quickly, not at all. It looks like a seven or eight-year-old cat. The weather is too cold recently, and it will definitely die if you let it out...so..." Ruzhen looked at Huang Shimu pitifully, the cat was quiet in her arms, and yawned with wide eyes .

"It seems that pets are not allowed in this apartment..." Huang Shimu felt that if he didn't refuse, the consequences might be serious.

"I have already said hello, don't worry. I have bought cat litter and so on. There is an automatic water feeder on the balcony. Remember to add water. Feed twice a day, and don't feed too much at a time. I draw I'll give you an explanation, just do it. Please, please, I will find a way when I come back, I'm running out of time, I'm leaving." He put the cat down, picked up his luggage, patted him on the shoulder, and squeezed away from him. Go out, leaving him alone to face the house full of mess and the big cat who didn't know where to go.

"Be careful on the road." He only had time to tell his back.

"I will be angry, I will definitely be angry. However, there is still time to be angry now...Huang Shimu, I hope..." Ruzhen said to himself downstairs, looked back at the high window with lights on, and sighed He took a taxi in a breath.

When Huang Shimu reacted and chased down the stairs slowly, he had already left.I looked down and saw that the bag was still hanging on my shoulder, and walked back to the caravan where I was eating udon noodles, feeling helpless.At least he must fill his stomach first, neither the doctor nor Ruzhen allow him to make do as he did before.

Minister Huang, who was still alone, walked home after dinner with much heavier steps.When entering the door to change shoes, first take out a half-filled cardboard box and pack all the scattered things under your feet, and clear a path from the entrance to the bedroom.When I opened the bedroom door, I saw that this place had not been occupied by Ruzhen, the windows were bright and clean, and Huang Shimu's name was written all over the room.He went in, put down his bag, thought for a while, and then moved the pot of prickly pear pillars into the corner, then sat on the bed a little at a loss.

The cat came in quietly and looked around curiously.Seeing him propped his head still for a long time, he boldly approached him, and was about to jump on his lap to sniff, when suddenly his eyes met, and the cat fled back to the living room in panic.Huang Shimu stood up and closed the bedroom, and took out the next year's plan from his bag
