His friends who grew up with him all said that Ji Bai was still single because he was too picky.
Ji Bai did not comment. However, he was certain that Ji Bai's woman should be one of a kind, like a rare treasure.
But today, he was actually despised by his little disciple in front of him without any hesitation.
It was a strange feeling.
He had personally taught her for a few weeks and was very satisfied with his disciple. She was smart, hardworking, quiet, and pleasing to the eye. Sometimes, she would understand what he meant before he finished speaking. She would even occasionally express her opinion that amazed him.
She was a piece of unpolished jade, but fortunately, she was in his hands. He would carefully polish her so that she would not be covered in dust.
When his childhood friend Shu Hang heard that he had taken in a female disciple, he sighed. "Sigh, if this happened to someone else, there might be an exciting teacher-disciple relationship. However, you probably treated her like a man and trained her, didn't you? You're ruthless and heartless. "
Ji Bai only laughed when he heard that.
Of course, he was strict, but he did not treat her like a man.
In the eyes of the twenty-eight-year-old Ji Bai, the twenty-four-year-old Xu Xu was still an inexperienced little girl.
The spring sun was just right, the brown table reflected a thin layer of light, and the air was dry and warm. The little girl sat upright with a serious expression. Her face was red and pale, and she looked like a little chick that was ready to fight at any time …
Alright, there was no need to delve into her "rejection".
This was the typical "Xu Xu style" — the most complicated brain, the simplest heart.
However, this passerby who suddenly appeared … Ji Bai glanced at Ye Zixiao and continued reading the newspaper — Xu Xu should be able to handle it herself.
***
Xu Xu originally wanted to end this farce quickly, but after she finished speaking, the two men fell silent.
The atmosphere seemed to be a little more strange than before.
At this moment, the door of the shop rang, and Yao Meng returned with three cups of milk tea. When she saw Ye Zixiao suddenly appear, she was a little surprised and did not say anything. Instead, she gave Xu Xu a questioning look.
When Ye Zixiao saw Yao Meng, he was slightly stunned, then looked at Ji Bai.
When Xu Xu said that, his anger naturally disappeared, and his expression changed faster than flipping a book. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I'm Ye Zixiao. "He extended his hand to Ji Bai.
Ji Bai glanced at him and shook his hand calmly. "Ji Bai."
Ye Zixiao was stunned, but he did not get angry. He glanced at the dishes on the table and smiled. "I've been rude today, I'll treat you." Just as he was about to take out his wallet, Ji Bai smiled and said, "No need. Put it on my tab. "He often came here to eat and was familiar with the boss, so he directly put some money down to avoid the trouble of paying the bill every time.
Ye Zixiao smiled and looked at Xu Xu. He seemed to be playing dumb and trying to please her at the same time. Xu Xu sighed in her heart and stood up. "Let's go out and talk."
Ye Zixiao could not have asked for more. He stood up and even pulled out a chair for Xu Xu.
As they walked out of the shop, Yao Meng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly realized something. "Her bag is still here."
Ji Bai said, "She will come back."
"Oh." Yao Meng moved the spoon in the milk tea cup.
The two of them were silent for a while. Yao Meng smiled and asked, "By the way, boss. I also want to exercise recently. If it were me, how many laps would I run every day? "
"Anything is fine."
Yao Meng said, "Hmm, but Xu Xu already ran ten rounds, so shouldn't I run less than her?"
Only then did Ji Bai raise his eyes to look at her.
The girl was undoubtedly very beautiful. Her fair face was dyed with a rouge-like blush. She stared at him fearlessly with her big, bright eyes. Her eyes were bright, and there was a hint of expectation and twinkle in them.
Ji Bai smiled and said, "An excellent criminal police officer must be able to plan his time reasonably. Xu Xu is physically weak, so she needs to spend more time in this area. You are physically strong, so you should spend more time on your profession and cases. Don't ask me about this kind of basic knowledge in the future. "
***
Xu Xu and Ye Zixiao walked back to the sports field and found an empty patch of grass. Xu Xu said, "My decision will not change, so you don't have to waste your energy anymore. You've already caused me trouble now. I hope that this time, you can listen to me. "
Ye Zixiao did not speak immediately. Instead, he tilted his head and lit a cigarette. He looked at the people running under the sun not far away and was silent for a while. He said, "You said that you don't like my type. Why?"
Xu Xu was silent for a moment and answered, "I don't need a reason."
Ye Zixiao turned around and approached her with his tall body. "Then what type am I?"
Xu Xu had no choice but to take a step back. Before she could answer, Ye Zixiao continued, "Xu Xu, do you think that you're very smart and have a good eye? After your so-called psychological analysis, you've decided that I'm not worthy of you?
Xu Xu, how can reality be so idealistic? You're so introverted, so how many men will appreciate you? How many people are like me, who not only appreciates you, but can also give you a life that other women can't even get in a few lifetimes? I, Ye Zixiao, am not bad at all. Why don't you grasp it and even try? "
Seeing that Xu Xu was silent with a cold face, he continued, "Is it because of your stubbornness and aloofness that you haven't had a boyfriend yet? Don't you think that you're actually quite a failure when it comes to this? "
In fact, he had thought about these words for a long time in his mind. He was a little angry, but he also wanted to scold Xu Xu to wake up her blockhead.
Xu Xu felt a little pain, so she turned around expressionlessly. "I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Ye Zixiao looked at her cold expression and a wave of anger rose in his heart again. Without thinking, he grabbed her arm. Her skin felt so delicate and soft that Ye Zixiao's heart trembled. He suddenly remembered the feeling of holding her hand the last time. It was like melting jade, soft, clear, and penetrating to the bone.
When he lowered his head, he saw that her skin was so thin that it was almost transparent. Her clear black eyes were looking at him at this moment, so calm and cold.
Ye Zixiao's mind suddenly went blank, so he lowered his head and kissed her.
Xu Xu's body stiffened and she tilted her head to avoid it, but the hot breath from his lips still landed on her cheek. The unfamiliar feeling made Xu Xu's face quickly turn red, and she looked a little embarrassed.
However, in Ye Zixiao's opinion, Xu Xu's thoughts had been exposed. She was the one who did not understand that she was too nerdy, so they still had a chance. As long as he put in a little more effort, he could soften her up.
He also knew that he was impulsive just now and lost his composure. He let go of her hand and was about to apologize, but this time, Xu Xu was really angry, and her voice was extremely cold. "You asked me what type you are? Fine, I'll tell you. "
Ye Zixiao was stunned, and as he looked at her calm eyes, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"First, you're conceited, and you pursue risks and excitement. I've seen the information on Longxi Electronics, and most of your investments are high-risk, high-return projects. I also noticed that when a project starts to make money, you'll focus on developing the next new project.
Therefore, after taking over the company for so long, even though it's profitable as a whole, there hasn't been a single project that has become a model in the industry, and there hasn't been a project with core competitiveness. Most of them are just average. It's your nature to prefer the process of taking risks, rather than doing things right. In my opinion, being with you is more of a financial risk than an ordinary person … "
Ye Zixiao was stunned, and his face turned ugly as he stared at her without saying a word.
Xu Xu continued, "Second, on the day Ye Zixi was injured, you were standing next to her, but you didn't give her first aid at that time. You hesitated. In high school biology, we've learned that when an artery is bleeding, you have to press on the proximal end, so why didn't you do it?
At that time, did you think that if you did something wrong, Ye Zixi would die? Did you think that thinking that way was for Ye Zixi's good? No, in the face of life and death, you lacked the courage to take responsibility … "
Ye Zixiao's expression changed drastically. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xu Xu did not stop. "Third, you misunderstood me and Ji Bai just now. In fact, we didn't have any substantial intimate actions, and your reaction was more extreme than an ordinary person's. Why? There are two possibilities. First, Ji Bai looks too outstanding, and if he was an ordinary person, you might not necessarily be angry. This can only mean that you lack tolerance and true confidence. Second, your possessiveness has always been stronger. Did you have a girlfriend in the past who broke up with you because of your paranoid possessiveness?
Fourth, you've always been very concerned about your appearance. Every time we met, you looked like every strand of your hair was carefully taken care of. There's also gossip about you on the Internet, and all your previous girlfriends were beautiful.
When you saw Yao Meng just now, you were obviously distracted. Of course, all men will appreciate beautiful women, but at that time, you were in a relatively intense mood, so it was reasonable to say that it was difficult for you to be distracted, but you were still attracted to her. This can only mean that your interest and attention towards women are stronger than ordinary people. In addition, you like to pursue excitement, you like to feel fresh, and you grew up in an open environment abroad. I can speculate that you've had sexual relationships without any emotional foundation, am I right?
So, why should I accept a man who does things according to his whims, lacks patience, can't take responsibility at critical times, and might cheat on me with his body at any time? "
***
After leaving the sports field, Xu Xu slowly walked back to the Cantonese restaurant.
She did not feel very comfortable.
Although she had already made a judgment about Ye Zixiao, her intuition told her that she should not say it out as it would be too hurtful.
Everyone had their flaws, and if they were magnified, everyone would become vulnerable. Moreover, Ye Zixiao was not a bad person, and in fact, he was generally an excellent person.
However, if she did not explain the reason why she rejected Ye Zixiao, he might continue to pester her. Moreover, she was almost kissed by him, and this angered her. In the end, she still could not hold it in.
She pushed the door open dejectedly, and there were already a lot of people. When she looked up, she saw Ji Bai sitting leisurely in the same place.
"Where's Yao Meng?" Xu Xu asked.
Ji Bai answered, "She went back first."
"Oh." Xu Xu picked up her bag from the chair, knowing that Ji Bai was waiting for her to come back. "Thank you."
Ji Bai stood up, and Xu Xu followed behind him. He did not speak, and neither did she. The two of them walked in silence with a distance of one step between them.
The morning sun shone on the clean street, and when Xu Xu looked up, she saw Ji Bai's tall figure blocking most of the light. His pace was steady, and he was neither fast nor slow. She did not know why, but as they walked on the bustling street, she quickly calmed down, and there was a sense of tranquility and warmth in her.
When they reached the basement, it was time for them to get their respective cars and go their separate ways.
Xu Xu bid farewell to Ji Bai step by step. "Captain Ji, see you tomorrow."
Ji Bai had already expected that she would not give any explanation for her "dislike". However, at this moment, she looked calm and natural, and there was no awkwardness at all …
"Have you considered whether we are suitable for each other?" The deep voice was slow and unhurried.
Xu Xu was stunned.
She had said that before because she had never intended to find a police boyfriend, so of course, Ji Bai was not suitable. However, now that he had asked this question, even someone as slow as Xu Xu understood that her previous statement made it seem like she was overthinking things.
Just as she was about to explain, she looked up and saw a faint smile in Ji Bai's dark eyes.
Xu Xu said, "This …" Ji Bai had already turned around and left.
***
Ye Zixiao sped all the way home. As he watched the road signs on the highway rapidly recede, his heart seemed to follow the changing scenery, becoming angry, dejected, and at a loss for what to do.
No woman had ever criticized him like this before. Her words were heavy and merciless.
Ever since he was young, he had been favored by the heavens. His family environment made him and his kind far more sophisticated than their peers, and they knew how to seek greater benefits in this world. They knew how to live a high and glorious life.
However, her words were like a sharp knife that cut through his flesh and blood, piercing through his disguise of money and appearance. After he flew into a rage, he was shocked to realize that he had nowhere to hide.
Because what she said was right — she knew. The Ye Zixiao in his heart also knew.
An hour later, he returned home. Everyone was there, including his father, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second sister and second brother-in-law, third sister and third brother-in-law, and Ye Zixi. Seeing his hazy expression, third sister smiled. "Who provoked our young master again?" His father's voice was as deep as water. "Come and eat."
Ye Zixiao only looked at Zixi and said in a dry voice, "I'm sorry about that day."
Zixi was confused, but Ye Zixiao had already turned around and left.
At night, Zixiao received a call from a few friends, asking him to go to the "Night Scenery" bar. The bar had good alcohol and girls, and had always been the favorite place of the princes.
When Zixiao arrived, his mood had returned to normal, but he did not speak much. One of his friends saw that he was not in a good mood, so he gave a look to the girl next to him. She was the youngest daughter of another family in the city, and she had been chasing after Ye Zixiao for a long time. The girl held a glass of wine. "Young Master Ye, you've forgotten all the unhappy things when you come out to play. I'm sad that you're like this."
Ye Zixiao looked at the girl's blurry face and plump body, and Xu Xu's words suddenly popped up in his mind. "Why should I accept a man like you?"
Then, he hugged the girl's neck and lowered his head to kiss her.
After that, they went to get a room. While he was crazily ravaging the girl's body, Ye Zixiao thought, 'Xu Xu, you're right, I'm this kind of man. You make me so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable. '
***
The next day, the weather was good. When Xu Xu arrived at the sports field, the sky was a slightly bright dark blue, like silk covering the earth.
When she was running, she was a little distracted, which was rare. She wondered if she should give Ye Zixiao a call to ask him to slow down. However, considering his proud personality, it might be adding fuel to the fire at this moment, so it was useless to say anything more, so she decided to wait and see.
On the second lap, she saw Ji Bai, who was in front of her, stop and answer the phone in a low voice. When she saw his sweaty back, Xu Xu suddenly remembered the conversation between the two of them yesterday.
She heard from Zhao Han that Ji Bai hated being pestered by women, so it seemed like it was necessary to explain to him that she did not have any fantasies about him. She said that he was not suitable because of his identity as a police officer. As for him, he was a technical man with good looks, good stamina, strong willpower, and quick thinking …
As these analysis conclusions flashed through her mind, she suddenly heard the sound of rapid and steady footsteps behind her. In the next second, she felt Ji Bai's slightly warm and sweaty body rapidly approaching her. Before she could turn around, she felt her collar tighten and her legs that were still running came to an abrupt halt. She was actually lifted up by him.
"What are you doing?" She frowned and turned her head as she scolded him in a low voice.
Ji Bai's head was drenched in sweat, but his handsome face was completely gloomy and his eyes were cold.
"Follow me. A female corpse was found at Lin An Mountain Leaping Road No. 3. "
Xu Xu's heart skipped a beat. Ji Bai paused for a moment before he said, "The deceased is Ye Zixi."
