It was the first day of the holiday.
The night was clear and the stars were gentle. Ji Bai was sitting on the balcony of his house, drinking his fragrant tea while he called Zhao Han.
"Captain, what's up?" Zhao Han received his call and habitually waited.
Ji Bai replied, "It's nothing. Let's find a time to eat together in the next two days?"
"Sure." Zhao Han's tone became relaxed. "How about tomorrow?"
Ji Bai asked, "What about the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow. Xu Xu asked me to practice shooting in the morning and we'll have lunch together."
Ji Bai smirked. "It's not a coincidence, I have something to do tonight."
"Then …"
"Let's do it at noon, it doesn't matter if Xu Xu is there too." Ji Bai said casually, "I'll pick you up at the shooting range."
"That's fine too!" Zhao Han answered readily.
Ji Bai then changed the topic. "By the way, I haven't met your girlfriend yet. If she's free, let's come together, I'll treat you to a meal."
Zhao Han replied, "Ah! Hehe … Sure. "
Ji Bai suddenly laughed. "Thank you, brother. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Han was a little confused. 'Why are you thanking me? Captain is so busy.
A matchmaker is a bridge of communication. The function of a bridge is often two-way. '
At this time, Zhao Han did not know that he had an unprecedented strategic significance in Xu Xu's heart.
Since she realized that she had a "persistent" and "unique" affection for Ji Bai, Xu Xu's first priority was to get to know him better before deciding whether to pursue him.
Due to her experience with her handsome junior brother, Xu Xu also understood that love was sometimes irrational. No matter how good she was at analyzing, she could still be wrong. Besides, a person could show a completely different character at work and in life. A living example was Xu Juan. He had always been strong and steady in managing the company. He was clear about his work and work, and he never looked at those beautiful secretaries. However, after work, he would enter the nightclub and flirt with women every night.
So far, she only knew about Ji Bai's work side, she still needed to understand his lifestyle.
In addition, Ji Bai had been single for many years without any scandals. It might be because he was clean and had high standards, but she could not rule out the possibility that he was gay, sexually dysfunctional, or promiscuous.
Zhao Han had a good personal relationship with Ji Bai and he was simple and passionate, so he was naturally one of the channels to understand Ji Bai. Although Xu Xu usually did not care much about relationships and was not good at it, if she really put her heart into it, she could still do it flawlessly.
That morning, there were very few people in the gun room. When Xu Xu arrived, only Zhao Han and another young policeman were at the shooting range.
Zhao Han dutifully taught Xu Xu for a while, and she learned diligently. After a while, the two of them stopped to rest. Xu Xu stared at the target in front of her and said with a smile, "Master said that your marksmanship is very good, you really live up to your reputation."
Zhao Han laughed. "I'm just average. You were the one with the best marksmanship in the Great Southwest Police District last year. "
Naturally, Xu Xu changed the topic to Ji Bai. "In that case, he's excellent in all aspects, be it his detective skills, marksmanship, or stamina … To be able to be like him, I'm guessing that he's busy with work in his spare time and is very diligent."
Zhao Han replied, "I heard that he was like this during his first few years in the police force, working 365 days without rest. Things have gotten better these past few years. We often eat together and go out to play. "
"Oh." Xu Xu handed him a bottle of water. "What do you play?"
Zhao Han answered while drinking, "Playing billiards, bowling, and sometimes watching football or playing cards at his house."
'Hmm, very good, they're all very masculine and healthy hobbies.' Xu Xu was about to change the topic when she suddenly saw Zhao Han looking behind her.
"Boss, you're early." Zhao Han chuckled.
Ji Bai was dressed casually today and looked tall and fresh. He put his arm on the back of Xu Xu's chair and smiled at Zhao Han. "Didn't you meet me at noon? I'm free this morning, so I came over to take a look. "
Xu Xu turned to look at him and smiled. "Good morning, Master."
"Mmm." Ji Bai glanced at her slightly red face. "What were you talking about just now?"
Zhao Han was about to say "about you", but Xu Xu had already said, "We were talking about our hobbies."
Zhao Han nodded in agreement.
After sitting for a while, Xu Xu said to Zhao Han, "Go practice again."
Zhao Han nodded, then looked at Ji Bai and said casually, "Do you want to let Boss give you some pointers? This is a rare opportunity. "
Ji Bai and Xu Xu looked at each other.
After a short moment of staring, Xu Xu looked away and answered, "I don't have to trouble Master for now, I'll first learn your skills and lay a good foundation."
In fact, Xu Xu's idea was very simple. Other than shooting, her biggest goal today was to get some information from Zhao Han. If she stayed with Ji Bai, she would not have a chance.
Ji Bai sat on the spot and watched her and Zhao Han standing side by side in front of the target and whispered to each other. He could not help but laugh. Many police stations had asked him to teach them how to shoot, but he had always declined because he was busy. This little girl was the only one who insisted on progressing step by step and left him aside.
At this time, there were more people in the shooting room, and a young policeman came over to ask for guidance. Ji Bai got up and walked over, ignoring the two of them.
After a while, Ji Bai turned around and saw a young girl standing at the door of the shooting room, waiting for him. He followed her gaze and saw that Zhao Han had just put away his phone. He said something to Xu Xu and walked towards the girl.
Ji Bai said to the young policeman, "Continue to consolidate your skills." He then walked towards Zhao Han.
"Captain, this is my girlfriend, Man Man." Zhao Han introduced the two of them.
Ji Bai smiled at the girl. "Hello. Thank you for supporting Little Zhao's work. "
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the girl asked curiously, "Is this where you practice shooting?"
Before Zhao Han could answer, Ji Bai said, "You can accompany her to walk around."
Of course, Zhao Han was happy to be able to show his work environment and results to the person he loved. Since Ji Bai was here, he did not have to worry about Xu Xu, so he nodded. "Okay, I'll look for you for a meal later."
Xu Xu stood alone in front of the target, but she was completely focused. She recalled the technical points that Zhao Han had mentioned and did not think about Ji Bai. After firing a few shots and stopping to rest, she suddenly felt someone's presence behind her.
She thought it was Zhao Han, so she said without turning her head, "You said that the strength of my finger pulling the trigger is uneven, how do I train this?"
"Show me with a shot." A low and unhurried voice sounded.
Xu Xu's hand that was holding the gun paused and she turned to look at him. "Master."
Ji Bai stood beside her with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Little Zhao's girlfriend is here and she left. You can continue practicing. "
Xu Xu nodded and raised the gun to aim without moving. Ji Bai only needed to look at her posture to know what the problem was.
"Spread your legs apart again." Ji Bai kicked her heel gently.
Xu Xu moved slightly according to his instructions. When Ji Bai saw that it was about time, his gaze returned to her waist. "Your waist is too tight, you need to be firm but relaxed at the same time."
"Oh." Xu Xu took a deep breath and gently twisted her waist.
He was silent for a while, then Xu Xu asked, "Anything else?"
Ji Bai's gaze finally moved away from her slim waist and landed on her finger that was pulling the trigger.
"Your fingers are too tight. Don't strictly follow the main points taught in class, hold it in the most natural position. "Ji Bai said calmly.
Xu Xu adjusted herself slightly, but perhaps because she had been shooting for too long today, her fingers felt a little stiff and her posture was not very natural. Just as she was about to ask another question, she suddenly saw a large and slender hand reach out from behind and cover her hand that was holding the gun.
Xu Xu was slightly stunned.
A very subtle numbness came from her fingertips. He was using his light wheat colored fingers to gently adjust her fair fingers. Then, he crossed his fingers and pressed on the dark, cold trigger. His breath was also very close, right above her head, right beside her ear.
In the next moment, she heard him say in a deep voice, "Okay, shoot."
"Bang!" Xu Xu pulled the trigger almost immediately.
She missed the target.
Xu Xu quickly calmed down.
He pressed her hand and fired a few more shots. Her score was getting better and better, but her face was still a little hot.
Fortunately, Ji Bai quickly let go of her and said with a calm face, "Maintain this feeling." He then swayed to another target.
Xu Xu practiced for a while more and looked sideways. He was standing next to another male police officer, calmly instructing him on how to hold the gun.
Xu Xu thought, 'Very good, subconsciously, he doesn't reject or even get used to physical contact with me, a member of the opposite sex. This is a very good start.'
Ji Bai looked at the burly young man in front of him who was drenched in sweat. Her fresh scent still lingered in his nostrils, and he could still feel the touch of her white and soft fingers on his fingertips. This made his heart a little restless, but it was also very pleasant and comfortable.
'I'll just tell Zhao Han not to come next week.' He thought to himself.
After a while, Xiao Zhao and his wife returned. When it was almost noon, the four of them left the shooting range and went to the pedestrian street to find a place to eat.
Xiao Zhao's girlfriend, Man Man, was a gentle, cheerful, and beautiful girl. Ji Bai and Zhao Han were also very talkative. Xu Xu wanted to get to know Ji Bai better, so she naturally talked more than usual. The meal was very enjoyable.
When they walked out of the restaurant, Xiao Zhao held his girlfriend's hand and said, "What plans do you guys have for the afternoon? Man Man wants to get a haircut. "
Ji Bai smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to say, "You guys go do your own things", he heard Xu Xu say, "I want to get a haircut too."
The three of them looked at her short hair. Xu Xu said indifferently, "I want to get a haircut. Master, do you want to go? "
Ji Bai said, "… Sure, let's go."
Actually, Xu Xu did not want to get a haircut, she just wanted to have more time to observe Ji Bai in his life. However, she had not reached the level where a man and a woman could develop feelings for each other, so she suggested that the four of them go for a haircut.
Man Man brought them to a very high-end and fashionable barber shop. Zhao Han naturally surrounded Man Man and listened to her request to the barber. Xu Xu sat on a high barber chair and saw Ji Bai take a magazine and sit on the black leather sofa in the waiting area through the mirror.
The service in this barber shop was very attentive, so soon, a beautiful girl brought him a cup of hot tea. "Sir, do you want a head massage?"
Ji Bai did not even raise his head. "No need. Thank you. "
The girl smiled. "The massage is free. Your friend is getting a haircut here, so you'll have to wait for a while."
Ji Bai said, "No need."
The girl smiled and left.
However, perhaps because he was tall, handsome, and had an extraordinary temperament, he was too eye-catching. After a while, a very handsome male worker with a smile took the initiative to walk over. "Sir, do you want to wash your hair?"
Ji Bai was still quiet and distant. "No need, thank you."
…
Very good. There was no frivolous body language, not even the slightest change in expression, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman.
Xu Xu's gaze moved away from him in the mirror. At this time, the barber behind her looked at her short hair and said with a smile, "Miss, how do you want to do your hair? Do you want to dye it or have a perm? "
Xu Xu picked up the magazine in her hand and said faintly, "Just a simple trim, don't ruin my hairstyle."
The smile on the barber's face froze.
Soon, she was done. Xu Xu got down from the chair and walked to the front desk to pay the bill. Only then did Ji Bai put down the magazine and stared at her head carefully for a while, but he really did not notice any obvious changes. This surprised him a little. It turned out that she was so particular about her appearance, which made her seem like an ordinary girl.
After leaving the barber shop, Man Man suggested shopping for clothes. Xu Xu said matter-of-factly, "I'll go too. Master, are you coming? "
Ji Bai glanced at the two big light bulbs, nodded faintly, and continued to follow.
In fact, Zhao Han was also quite confused. Although he was a loyal person, he did not mind having two light bulbs following him. But after visiting more than a dozen shops, Man Man was very engrossed in shopping, while Ji Bai and Xu Xu stood in the shop calmly, looking unfathomable.
Did people with high IQs shop like this? Before Zhao Han could think about it carefully, he was called over by Man Man.
They shopped like this until the sun set, and the four of them walked out of the sunny pedestrian street. Zhao Han carried big and small bags, Man Man held Xu Xu affectionately, and Ji Bai walked at the back. Zhao Han was just about to suggest watching a movie when Ji Bai's phone rang, so he went to the side to pick it up.
The three of them stood by the street waiting for him. At this time, Man Man saw an accessory shop in front of her. Xu Xu expressed that she was not interested, so Man Man walked in alone.
Xu Xu and Zhao Han stood outside the shop and waited. Diagonally in front of the two of them, there was an adult goods shop with small colorful lights. There were several vivid advertising posters posted on the door. The two of them stood silently for a while, then Xu Xu suddenly said, "If you want to buy it, go buy it."
Zhao Han was stunned. "What?"
Xu Xu looked at the adult goods shop. "Condoms. You kept glancing over there just now. "Zhao Han's face turned hot, then he heard Xu Xu say," She will say yes. When she walked over just now, her expression was not very natural, and then she secretly glanced at you. "
Zhao Han was embarrassed. He and his girlfriend were indeed at the final stage of exploring whether they should do it or not. Of course, no one would know about such a private matter. However, when Xu Xu, who was usually an old-fashioned girl, directly pointed it out in front of him, he felt a little embarrassed. However, his heart was stirred up by her words, so he hesitated for a while and ran into the accessory shop to look for Man Man.
Xu Xu looked at the adult goods shop alone for a while, then walked straight over.
After Ji Bai finished the call, he turned his head, but found that there was no one there. When he turned his gaze again, he saw Xu Xu standing expressionlessly in front of a shop called "Sex Good Products", looking down at her phone. Beside her feet was a billboard that was half the height of a person. On it was a picture of a half-naked muscular European and American man, with the words, "Quickly grow three times in an hour, long and lasting."
Ji Bai suddenly laughed. How much did she not care about her surroundings? He walked over and did not point it out. He only smiled and said to her, "Let's go."
Xu Xu looked up at him. Her first reaction was very natural, there was no embarrassment, anxiety, avoidance, or disgust, so it seemed that she did not have any hidden diseases.
After coming out of the accessory shop, Zhao Han suggested going to watch a movie. This time, Ji Bai did not give Xu Xu a chance to speak and answered first, "We won't be third wheels, you guys have fun."
Xu Xu was silent for a moment, then said to Zhao Han and Man Man, "Goodbye."
Zhao Han could not have asked for more, so he pulled Man Man away. Of course, they did not go to the movie.
As dusk fell, people came and went on the streets. Ji Bai and Xu Xu were silent for a while, then Ji Bai said, "I'm going to buy a pair of shoes. If you have time, let's go together."
"Oh."
The two of them entered a shopping mall.
In fact, buying shoes was just an excuse. Ji Bai usually wore a few brands of shoes, so he was able to make up his mind quickly. Very soon, he picked a pair of sports shoes, and it took less than 20 minutes. He thought of something and asked Xu Xu, "Do you want to pick?"
The women's shoe section was far more dazzling than the men's shoe section, and the newly launched summer shoes were even more beautiful. When the shopping guide saw the two of them, she greeted them with a smile. "Miss, do you want to look at this season's new collection?" Xu Xu nodded and followed her to the shelves. Ji Bai's gaze swept across the shelves and stopped at a pair of sandals.
"Try this pair." Ji Bai walked to her with the shoes, but before Xu Xu could say anything, the shopping guide smiled first. "Your boyfriend has good taste, this pair is the best-selling one."
Xu Xu took the shoes and said to the shopping guide naturally, "He's not my boyfriend, he's my boss."
The shopping guide looked at Ji Bai with interest, but Ji Bai looked calm as if he did not hear anything.
Xu Xu was originally wearing a pair of black leather sandals that only revealed the back of her feet. Ji Bai picked a pair of light blue strappy open-toed sandals. After she changed, she stood up, and the shopping guide praised her in an exaggerated tone, "It's perfect. Your skin is fair, and your feet are small, so you look delicate and feminine in this. "
Ji Bai looked down at her bare ankles that were tightly wrapped by the shoelaces, then looked at her tiny, pink toes … She was really feminine.
He looked up at her face in a carefree and happy manner, and the shopping guide also looked at her expectantly. However, she frowned. "It's a little young." She pointed at a pair of mature black shoes that she had her eyes on for a long time. "Try that pair."
Ji Bai was speechless.
The shopping guide said, "… Isn't that pair too old-fashioned?"
Xu Xu replied, "No, it's steady."
The mature black shoes were clean and handsome, so Xu Xu paid the bill with satisfaction. However, even the shopping guide could not forget the effect of the blue shoes. Ji Bai stood aside and did not say a word.
Just after she bought the shoes, Xu Xu received a call from Xu Juan, who asked her out for dinner. She had gained a lot today. She initially ruled out the possibility that Ji Bai was gay, had sexual dysfunction, or was a promiscuous person, and had a healthy and peaceful attitude towards life. Therefore, she happily said goodbye to Ji Bai without any reluctance.
Ji Bai drove away from the mall, but after a few minutes, he turned around and drove back to the shoe store. The shopping guide smiled when she saw him, and Ji Bai calmly paid the bill. "She changed her mind."
When he got home, he casually put the shoes in the cloakroom. Looking at the small and exquisite sandals among a pile of men's leather shoes and sneakers, he smiled.
