The black man who had snatched Bai Shuang's phone was so scared that he peed himself. He held his head and crawled on the street, begging for mercy.
Bai Shuang felt sorry for him again. She tugged at Zhao Liangze's shirt and whispered, "Forget it. Just get the phone back."
Zhao Liangze glanced at her, put away the gun, and still held her hand. "… Get in the car."
He opened the door and stuffed Bai Shuang into the car, then closed the door and got into the driver's seat from the other side.
The jeep made a "tu tu" sound and quickly sped up, leaving behind a trail of dust.
After the excitement of their first encounter, the two of them felt awkward in the car, and neither of them said a word.
Zhao Liangze drove all the way to the main street. When he was about to turn back to the dock, he suddenly remembered that he couldn't take Bai Shuang there.
He turned the steering wheel and drove to the hotel in the center of Cape City.
The hotel in the suburbs was actually more upscale and luxurious, but Zhao Liangze didn't plan to stay there because Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi were staying there.
He couldn't let Bai Shuang know that Huo Shaoheng was also in Cape Town.
Huo Shaoheng was on a secret mission, and Bai Shuang was an acquaintance of Huo Shaoheng. If they met, even if nothing happened, it would still be a leak to Zhao Liangze.
When he first met Bai Shuang, although he was overwhelmed with admiration, years of strict training still made his mind tense.
Bai Shuang couldn't help herself from the first encounter, but now that she had regained her composure, she not only felt embarrassed but also very angry.
She kept a straight face and didn't speak along the way. Suddenly, she saw the road ahead change and seemed to turn back.
"Where are you going?" Bai Shuang couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Liangze glanced at her. "Where do you live? Are you traveling to Cape Town? "
Bai Shuang pouted. "It's none of your business. Let me out of the car!"
"I'll take you back to the hotel." Zhao Liangze remembered that he had just met Bai Shuang in the city, so he naturally assumed that Bai Shuang should be staying in a hotel in the city center.
Bai Shuang frowned. "If you take me back to the hotel, please turn around. I don't live here."
"You don't live here?" Zhao Liangze stepped on the brakes in surprise. "Then why did you get off in a taxi in the city center?"
Bai Shuang was stunned. "You saw me?"
"… I thought it was you …" Zhao Liangze smiled. "You were wearing sunglasses, so I didn't dare to recognize you. I was afraid it would be awkward.
You make it sound like it's not awkward anymore.
Bai Shuang rolled her eyes. "I'm going to the convention center in the city to participate in an event. I'm not staying there. Who can stand living in the heart of the city? Is it fun to listen to gunfights every night? "
She asked Zhao Liangze, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Liangze smiled and did not answer Bai Shuang's question. He only said, "Where do you live? I'll take you there. "
"You can put me down here. I still have to participate in the event." Bai Shuang didn't say where she lived. Seeing that Zhao Liangze didn't even answer her question, she felt even more bored and patted the car door. "As for where I live, you don't have to worry about it."
Zhao Liangze held the steering wheel with one hand and stopped the car on the side of the road. His other hand reached over and rested on the passenger seat where Bai Shuang was sitting. He frowned and said, "Bai Shuang, let's talk."
"What's there to talk about!" Bai Shuang still turned her head away and didn't look at him. "My cousin is your girlfriend, and now you're provoking me again. Do you think I'm cheap, so you came to bully me?!"
"Bai Shuang!" Zhao Liangze shouted. "I was wrong just now! You don't have to say that about yourself! I'm cheap! I'm cheap! Is that enough?! "
"What do you mean by that?!" Bai Shuang turned her head and looked at him angrily. "You're the cheap one!"
When she liked him, he kept her distance.
When she was about to let go, he leaned in again!
"It was me …" Zhao Liangze pursed his lips. "… I let your cousin down."
"Haha, now you think of letting your girlfriend down. Zhao Liangze, you're good! " Bai Shuang laughed at Zhao Liangze's words. "Unfortunately, if you want to be the person who betrays her, don't ask me to cooperate with you. I won't be willing to be cheap with you! "
"Are you done talking?!" Zhao Liangze was angered by Bai Shuang's words. He let go of the steering wheel and rushed in front of Bai Shuang. He grabbed her shoulder and said angrily, "Since the day you saw me with your cousin … I haven't seen her again! I … "
Only then did he remember that he was also on a mission.
It was taboo to run into an acquaintance while on a mission.
Either he had to think of a reasonable reason immediately, or he had to report it to his superiors.
Zhao Liangze looked extremely conflicted for a moment.
But in Bai Shuang's eyes, she felt that Zhao Liangze was still wavering between her and her sister. She was furious.
"Let go of me." Bai Shuang's face darkened. "I'll pretend nothing happened. You don't have to be conflicted, and I won't keep you company! Get out! "
She pushed Zhao Liangze away, turned around, and found the handle on the car door. She pushed it outward and the door opened.
She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got out of the car. She immediately hailed a taxi and went to the convention center in front.
Zhao Liangze couldn't explain, but he couldn't ignore it. After thinking for a long time, he called Huo Shaoheng.
…
"Huo Shao …"
The phone rang for a while before Huo Shaoheng picked up. "Little Ze? What's wrong? What's the matter? "
"It's like this." Zhao Liangze gritted his teeth. "On my way back, I saw someone's phone being robbed, so I went to help and got her phone back. In the end … in the end … that person was Bai Shuang. "
As soon as Zhao Liangze said it, Huo Shaoheng understood.
It wasn't like he would be a busybody just because he saw someone's phone being robbed, right?
He must have seen that the person was Bai Shuang, or looked like Bai Shuang, so he went to help get the phone back …
Huo Shaoheng chuckled. "What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing to meet an old friend in a foreign land? Why do you sound unhappy? "
"… I kissed her," Zhao Liangze said sullenly. "Then she scolded me, and we parted on bad terms."
Huo Shaoheng should have sympathized with him, but a smile climbed uncontrollably onto his cheeks. He wore a Bluetooth headset and made seafood fried rice for Gu Nianzhi in the kitchen in front of the induction cooker. He said casually, "You deserve to be scolded, but I should actually slap you."
"That's not what I meant!" Zhao Liangze was so distressed that he was incoherent. "Actually, what I meant was that she knew I left on a mission, and then she saw me here …"
Huo Shaoheng's hand paused. He put down the spatula and walked to the door. Looking at the vast blue Atlantic Ocean, his mind raced as he said, "Tell me honestly, what exactly did you say to her? Don't leave out a single word. Do you hear me?!"
"Yes, Chief!"
Zhao Liangze was shocked and quickly repeated the conversation he had with Bai Shuang just now without missing a word.
When he recounted the debate between him and Bai Shuang about "you're cheap or I'm cheap," Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
"… You two are so childish." Huo Shaoheng calmly turned back, turned off the fire, and scooped out the seafood fried rice. He made a decision and said to Zhao Liangze, "Then what do you think? Are you going to choose between two girlfriends? You can't have a foot in both boats. "
Zhao Liangze reflexively retorted, "Bai Yueran and I aren't considered boyfriend and girlfriend yet."
"No, I thought you guys had already decided." Huo Shaoheng took out the steak he had just bought and fried it in the pan with butter.
The sound of sizzling rang out in the kitchen, accompanied by the aroma of butter that spread throughout the hall.
Gu Nianzhi went to her room to clean up, took a shower, and changed into a summer T-shirt and hot pants. She walked out of the room with her long legs bare.
She almost followed the aroma of food to the kitchen.
"Huo Shao, dinner is ready?!" Gu Nianzhi was delighted to see a bowl of seafood fried rice placed on the dining table in the dining room.
The dining room and kitchen were actually a suite, with the kitchen inside and the dining room outside.
Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, she could still see the white spots on the sea. The afterglow of the setting sun and the sparkling seawater were like pieces of gold dancing in her eyes.
Occasionally, one or two dolphins could be seen leaping high from the bottom of the sea and naughtily chasing each other on the surface.
"It's so beautiful here." Gu Nianzhi sighed. She was so fascinated by the view that she didn't even care to eat her favorite seafood fried rice.
Huo Shaoheng heard movement and turned to see that Gu Nianzhi had already arrived. His gaze lingered on her long bare legs for a moment.
Zhao Liangze was still yelling over the phone, "… We didn't make a deal! I just kissed her, and you sent me to this godforsaken island. We didn't even have time to say anything! "
Huo Shaoheng withdrew his gaze and turned to Zhao Liangze on the other end of the phone, "Little Ze, you have to resolve the matter between Bai Shuang and Bai Yueran as soon as possible. Are you still a man if you procrastinate? You have to be honest and don't play tricks. Be careful of your style problems, and no one can save you if that happens. "
Zhao Liangze's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Huo Shao, I don't have that kind of guts. I … I … I really like Bai Shuang. I'll make it clear to Bai Yueran after the mission. "
Zhao Liangze was also stunned when he heard this.
So this was what he really meant, and his true feelings.
He had pursued love for so long, but he had never recognized his own heart.
Rationally, he knew that Bai Yueran was a better partner, but emotionally, he couldn't help but favor Bai Shuang, and he couldn't even control it.
Huo Shaoheng flipped the steak in the pan and fried it until it was medium done. He said, "But if you want to be with Bai Shuang, do you only want to date her once, or do you want to marry her?"
Zhao Liangze asked, "… Is there a difference?"
"Of course there is." Huo Shaoheng said bluntly, "You know what crime Bai Shuang's father committed, right? Such a person can't pass the background check. Do you know to what extent Big Xiong's fiancée, Ma Qiqi, went through the background check? "
"To what extent?" Zhao Liangze was nervous and felt like he couldn't breathe.
How could he have forgotten about the background check …
"Four generations, all relatives within five years."
Zhao Liangze's heart sank.
If he decided to be with Bai Shuang and marry her, she would definitely not pass the background check.
Then he could only retire from the army …
Although if he retired from the army, he could easily find another job. He could even not look for a job and directly start his own company.
With his computer skills, he could be very successful no matter what he did.
But he didn't want to retire from the army. He liked his current job very much. He liked it so much that this job was worthy of being the first in his heart.
If anything conflicted with this job, he would give up other things and keep this job.
But now it was Bai Shuang who conflicted with his job. She was the first woman he truly fell in love with in his 28 years of life.
On one side was the important task of protecting the country, and on the other side was the lover he loved. How should he choose?
