The next day at work, Xu Xu felt like she had been struck by lightning.
In the time it took to go to the bathroom, there was a big bouquet of red and white roses on her desk. It was wrapped in light yellow checkered paper, very beautiful, very eye-catching.
There was also a small card attached to it. The words were written in flamboyant calligraphy:
"You're right, preferences can't be controlled.
Good day, Xu Xu. "
Xu Xu was silent for a moment. She struggled to pick up the large bouquet of flowers and tried to find a place to throw it. Yao Meng, who was sitting on the opposite side, had already stretched her head over and rested her chin on her hand. "Tell me honestly, do you have a boyfriend?"
Hearing her question, the others also looked over with smiles on their faces.
Xu Xu replied, "No."
How could everyone believe it? They all started to make a ruckus, saying that they wanted to investigate the son-in-law of the Criminal Police Force. Xu Xu had no choice but to tell the truth. "I went on a blind date last week, but it didn't work out. But he's a little stubborn. "
Everyone was in a daze. This was because Xu Xu usually gave people the impression that she was very introverted and aloof. It turned out that she also wanted to have a boyfriend.
Since there were more men than women in the police station, they naturally paid more attention to a single lady like Xu Xu who was good-looking. By noon, the entire police station was talking about a certain rich second-generation heir who was aggressively pursuing Xu Xu. At the end of the morning meeting, the bureau chief even asked Ji Bai, "I heard that Xu Xu from your team is going to marry a rich second-generation heir? Help me investigate it. We are the young lady's family. "
Ji Bai smiled faintly. "I know."
Xu Xu had been busy the whole morning, so she did not even have time to eat lunch. She took out her phone and found a dark corner to call Ye Zixiao. He called five times, but no one picked up. He was a little angry. She put away her phone and ran to the police station's reception office. She told the uncle there to reject her flowers in the future.
However, Eldest Uncle had also benefited from it, and it wasn't a bad thing. He pretended to be dumb and said, "Ah? I don't know. I have no right to refuse … "
At this time, Ye Zixiao was holding his phone and looking at the missed calls. He was imagining Xu Xu's gloomy face. He knew that she would be angry, and he also knew that this would not necessarily win her favor. However, he was still a little unhappy in his heart. Sending flowers in such a high-profile manner was a little provocative to her. Who cares about her? I'll provoke her first.
Xu Xu did not go for lunch, but everyone in the criminal police unit was talking about her again. Someone said, "I didn't expect this young lady to be so charming. Someone else said," There are so many unmarried young men in the police force, so we should keep the goodies within the family. Am I right, Captain Ji? "
Ji Bai lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair. When he heard that, he smiled. "They won't succeed."
Her brain circuitry was different from a normal person's. An ordinary man might not be able to pick up the signal.
Ji Bai had always been able to predict things like a God, and he was the "prophet" of the police station. When everyone heard what he said, they all curiously asked him about it, but Ji Bai did not answer them. He got up and went to pay the bill.

After work, Ye Zixi called Xu Xu and asked her out for dinner on Saturday.
After the razor blade case, Ye Zixi kept in touch with her. They talked on the phone from time to time and even had afternoon tea together once. In all fairness, Xu Xu had a good impression of Ye Zixi. She was generous, wise, gentle, and opinionated, which made people feel very comfortable.
Xu Xu agreed. Just as Zixi was about to hang up, Xu Xu reacted and asked, "Ye Zixiao won't be coming, right?"
Zixi could not help but laugh. "What did he do for you to avoid him like a viper?"
Xu Xu replied, "He pretended to be an IT engineer and went on a blind date with me, which caused some trouble."
Zixi laughed and finally answered, "Okay, don't worry, I won't let him interfere with a woman's date."
After hanging up, Zixi immediately called Ye Zixiao. "You can't do it, did you fail with Xu Xu?"
Ye Zixiao replied, "It's still too early. I've only been chasing after her for a few days. "
Zixi laughed. "What else do you have up your sleeve if you can even do something as frustrating as pretending to be an IT engineer?"
Ye Zixiao laughed. "I've asked around, she runs at the police station's stadium every week. I'll go on weekends too. "
"Are you planning to show off your muscles?"
"Of course. Do you think I work out every day and train my muscles for nothing? I'll appear in front of her in a different image. "
Zixi laughed and slowed down. "Actually, the more I interact with Xu Xu, the more interesting I find her. Maybe you two are really suitable and complement each other. "
Ye Zixiao sighed. "Sis, you should say that to her, what's the point of saying it to me? Of course, I know I'm the right man for her. "

This week, Xu Xu received a lot of flowers. However, Ye Zixiao never showed up and did not pick up her calls. Later on, she just ignored him.
The weather was fine this weekend. It was already late spring, so the sky brightened earlier than usual. When Xu Xu arrived at the sports field, the sky was already bright.
She jogged in and saw Ji Bai sitting on the fitness equipment, drinking from a bottle of water. Yao Meng was wearing a light blue sportswear and her long hair fell to her shoulders as she stood in front of him. She did not know what they were talking about, but Ji Bai's eyes were calm and there was a smile on his lips.
Xu Xu ran over. "Morning."
Yao Meng smiled sweetly. "Morning."
Ji Bai looked at his watch. "Really early, I'm late by three minutes."
Xu Xu was silent. She had forgotten to bring her wallet when she went out in the morning, so she went back to get it.
She had to run another lap.
She turned around and ran on the track.
Even with the lively Yao Meng, the entire run was silent. Yao Meng's physical performance in the police academy was excellent, so the three of them lined up on the track in a ladder shape. Ji Bai was far ahead, followed by Yao Meng, and naturally, Xu Xu was last.
Xu Xu realized that Yao Meng liked to compete with Ji Bai when they ran. Because Ji Bai was a few laps ahead of the two of them, they often passed by each other. Every time this happened, Yao Meng would speed up as if she wanted to run side by side with Ji Bai. However, she managed to maintain this pace for a while before she slowed down. At this time, she would smile at Xu Xu who was behind her with a blushing face while feeling depressed and excited.
At this time, Ji Bai just smiled faintly and continued to maintain his pace.
Although Xu Xu was insensitive, she finally felt a little lonely as she watched the two of them from behind.
This was because Yao Meng looked energetic while Ji Bai was full of energy.
On the other hand, she was really like a snail, crawling and crawling …
When Ji Bai overtook her the next time, she subconsciously imitated Yao Meng and tried to speed up. Who knew that as soon as she quickened her pace, Ji Bai would turn around and look at her with a look of disdain. "How strong are you?"
Xu Xu's footsteps stopped and she slowed down.
After running, Yao Meng suggested going to a small Cantonese restaurant by the street for breakfast. "Captain, don't you like Cantonese dim sum? Hmm, crystal shrimp dumplings, red bean porridge, and radish cake? I heard that it's not bad. Let me suck up to him and be the host. "
Ji Bai nodded. "It's not bad, I go there often."
Xu Xu thought to herself, 'I like these too.'
The restaurant was indeed not bad. It was clean and cozy, and there was a faint aroma of food in the air. Because it was still early, there was no one in the restaurant yet. The three of them found a table and sat down.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, the three of them chatted idly. Most of the time, Yao Meng and Ji Bai were chatting. Xu Xu was silent.
In front of Yao Meng, Ji Bai had a leisurely look, and there was always a faint smile in his eyes. His tone was usually not too harsh, and he would even make a joke or two, causing Yao Meng to cover her mouth and smile.
Occasionally, when he spoke to Xu Xu, his tone would be cold or commanding.
"Why are you in a daze?"
"Give me the menu."
Xu Xu noticed this and was a little depressed, but she was used to it.
Little did she know that from the first day they met, Ji Bai had been harsh to her in order to hone her arrogance. However, later on, he got used to it and it felt good to see her dull and honest look.
After eating for a while, Yao Meng stood up and said, "I'll go next door to buy milk tea. It's very mellow. "
Only the two of them were left. They habitually picked up the newspaper in the restaurant and looked at each other silently.
After reading for a while, Xu Xu suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked up and saw that Ji Bai had put down the newspaper and was looking behind her with an indifferent expression.
Xu Xu turned her head and saw Ye Zixiao wearing white sportswear with his hands in his trouser pockets and his face pale.
Ye Zixiao woke up early today and arrived at the stadium before eight o 'clock. However, there was no sign of Xu Xu among the vast army of people doing morning exercises. It was a little boring, so he drove around nearby and coincidentally saw Xu Xu eating breakfast with a man.
When he got closer, the two of them had the same breakfast, even the newspaper in their hands. When the man finished his food, Xu Xu even took the initiative to get it for him. However, the man did not look at her and opened his mouth to eat.
At this moment, when Xu Xu turned her head and saw him, she immediately frowned and the displeasure in her eyes was too obvious.
Ye Zixiao smiled and walked over to pull a chair to sit down. He did not look at Ji Bai but only looked at Xu Xu with a smile on his face. "If you have a boyfriend, just tell me. Although I'm clingy, I'm not going to be a third party."
Xu Xu was stunned. "Boyfriend?"
Ye Zixiao glanced at Ji Bai and the latter looked at him with an indifferent expression. However, in Ye Zixiao's eyes, Ji Bai was obviously very arrogant and was a little provocative.
In fact, if Xu Xu was sitting with a short and ugly man, Ye Zixiao might not be so angry and might not think that they were in a relationship.
He had always been very sure that among Xu Xu's suitors, there would not be anyone more outstanding than him. Therefore, even if Xu Xu rejected him, he was still very confident even though he was angry.
However, he was a little uncertain when it came to Ji Bai. The man in front of him was tall and handsome. His clothes were extraordinary and he looked calm and experienced. Looking at the way he interacted with Xu Xu, it was obvious that they had a tacit understanding. Besides, if they were not very close, would Xu Xu personally pour tea for someone else?
This thought hurt him a little. She looked down on him but was so docile in front of another man.
Xu Xu looked at his eyes and understood. "He's my superior."
Ye Zixiao asked, "So he's the police chief?" He did not believe that such a young and handsome police officer was her superior.
Xu Xu frowned.
Ye Zixiao crossed his arms and leaned back as he stared at Xu Xu without saying a word. On the other hand, Ji Bai shook the newspaper in his hand and calmly read it again.
Perhaps it was because the combination of the three of them and their aura was too strange, the two new tables of customers in the shop and the staff would look at them from time to time.
Xu Xu hated the feeling of being the center of attention and being speculated about. She did not want to argue with Ye Zixiao in public, so she said anxiously, "You've misunderstood, he's not my boyfriend. I'm not suitable for you, and I'm not suitable for him either. Your current emotions are completely meaningless. "
As soon as she said this, Ye Zixiao was stunned. Ji Bai also looked at her with a gloomy gaze.
