Li Rui looked at her charming face, thought for a while and said, "Well, I have something to do, so I have to go now. Then I'll try to find time to have lunch with you at noon. If I can't find the time, then there's nothing I can do. Let's meet another day. Anyway, we're in Qingyang City and we'll see each other often. Can't we have lunch together? "
Chen Chen curled her lips arrogantly and pointed at him, as if saying, "If you don't come, I'll never let you go." Then she turned around and ran to the station. Li Rui saw her slim figure go farther and farther away and smiled slightly. This girl was getting more and more familiar with him and spoke more and more casually. But it was better this way.
He turned around and walked out of the square in front of the station. He took a taxi and rushed home. On the way, he called the Duan Xiaoqian and wanted to ask if she had been discharged from the hospital.
Xu Da had told him yesterday that the Duan Xiaoqian would be discharged today, so he wanted to go and see her. If she needed any help, such as going through the discharge procedures, he could give her a hand.
After the phone was connected, it was not the Duan Xiaoqian's voice, but her father, Cao Quan's hearty laughter. "Xiao Rui, brother, long time no see."
Li Rui rolled his eyes and thought, "Long time no see? We haven't seen each other for a month at most." He smiled and said, "Brother, it's hard to say if you want to see me. I'll go there now. Xiaoqian is discharged today, right? She hasn't been discharged yet, right? "Cao Quan said," She's been discharged. She's been at home for a long time. " Li Rui was shocked. He looked at the time and found it was only half past nine. He thought, "Why is she discharged so early?" He said, "I thought she would be discharged at around ten o 'clock and I could go there to help. I didn't expect it to be so early." Cao Quan smiled and said: "She doesn't need any help. Her colleagues and I are watching over her. Don't worry."
When Li Rui heard what he said, he remembered that when the Duan Xiaoqian was discharged from the hospital, everyone was there except for him. He faintly felt that he was excluded from the Duan Xiaoqian circle and felt uncomfortable. He said, "I'll go home first. I'll go to your house later to visit Xiaoqian." Cao Quan said, "Little Bro, if you're busy, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. You don't have to rush over. Xiao Qian is fine now. Besides, hehe, even if you came, she wouldn't have time to talk to you." Li Ruiqi was puzzled and asked, "Why wouldn't she have time?" Cao Quan smiled and said, "She is obsessed with practicing martial arts. The master you introduced to her, Xu Da, taught her a lot of martial arts. She is completely obsessed with it …"
After hanging up the phone, Li Ruixin was bewildered. Duan Xiaoqian was hot-tempered and impulsive. Without love, how could she be obsessed with practicing martial arts? But Cao Quan wouldn't lie to him. It was really strange. He thought to himself that he didn't need to believe it now. He would know when he saw the Duan Xiaoqian.
He rushed home and told his father, Li Jianmin, that he had sent his boss, Song Chaoyang, back to the provincial capital last night. It was too late, so he stayed the night and rushed back in the morning.
Li Jianmin never asked much about his work. After hearing what he said, he didn't ask much. He only asked when Qingman would be home. Li Rui told him that she might be home in the afternoon or tomorrow morning. But from this, he realized that Qingman had unknowingly become the backbone of the family. She had replaced him as the center of attention. But this was also a good thing. With a virtuous and gentle wife taking care of the family, he could rest assured when he was working outside.
"Dad, I still have to go see a friend. She has just been discharged from the hospital. She might not be home for lunch. You can eat with Xiao Hong."
Li Rui said this before he went downstairs and rushed to the Duan Xiaoqian's house.
The Duan Xiaoqian's real home was in Cangshui County. When she said her home, she was referring to her house in Qingyang. Li Rui had been to her house once and stayed the night there. The next morning, he was almost hit by Ye Shaoqiu's car. So, he still had a deep memory of it.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the Duan Xiaoqian's house with a fruit basket. Cao Quan opened the door for him. There were only the father and daughter in the house. Everyone else had left. As for why the Duan Xiaoqian's mother never showed up, the reason was simple. It was because Cao Quan didn't dare to tell her about the Duan Xiaoqian's injury. He didn't want her to be sad and worried.
Seeing that the living room was empty, Li Rui asked, "Is Xiaoqian lying down?" Cao Quan smiled bitterly and said, "No, she's practicing. Didn't I tell you on the phone just now? Come, I'll take you there. "After he finished speaking, he walked deeper into the house.
Li Rui followed behind him. They walked through the dining room and arrived at the door of the first bedroom. When he saw Cao Quan open the door, he thought to himself that this bedroom looked like the one he stayed in before. Just as he thought of this, he heard the Duan Xiaoqian's impatient voice in the room, "Why are you opening the door again? Don't you know how annoying it is? Didn't you see me practicing?"
Cao Quan smiled and said, "Xiao Rui is here. I'll bring him to see you." After he finished speaking, he turned around and gave Li Rui a bitter smile. At the same time, he stepped aside and went to the living room to make tea.
Li Rui walked into the room and saw the Duan Xiaoqian in a snow-white sportswear. She was in the middle of the room in a squatting position. Her body was moving up and down. Occasionally, her waist would rotate and her arms would move up and down. It was a bit like the Tai Chi Tai Chi move. Li Rui was baffled. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "No way, you're really obsessed with practicing." After he said this, he also noticed that the furniture in the room, such as the bed, had been removed. It was empty. It seemed like the room was purposely set aside for practicing.
The Duan Xiaoqian acted as if she didn't hear him. She didn't even look at him. She just focused on practicing. From her heavy breathing, it seemed like it was very strenuous for her to do this.
Li Rui saw that she was ignoring him. He walked in front of her and waved his hand at her and said, "Can't you see me?" The Duan Xiaoqian looked at him and said unhappily, "Don't disturb me. Get lost." Li Rui called out, "Aiya, I came to your house to see you. Aren't you going to entertain me?" The Duan Xiaoqian said, "Let my father entertain you. Can't you see that I'm busy?" Li Rui looked at her body and hesitantly said, "Are your injuries better? Can you practice? Won't it tear your wound? " The Duan Xiaoqian said, "I'm just practicing the basics. I won't use any strength so it won't tear my wound."
Li Ruiqi asked strangely, "When did you become so obsessed with martial arts? You weren't like this before. " The Duan Xiaoqian heard this and stopped. She said with a serious face, "Yes, that's right. I didn't have any interest in martial arts in the past. That's why I was powerless when I faced the gangsters. I was almost stabbed to death when I faced the female spy. Since I've already learned my lesson, of course I'll learn martial arts seriously. Since there's an expert like Xu Da who's willing to teach me, I'll learn properly. "Li Rui looked at her blankly for a long time. He asked," Are you still a Duan Xiaoqian? "
The Duan Xiaoqian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Nonsense, if I'm not a Duan Xiaoqian, who else can I be? Let me tell you, if you don't have anything to do, then get out of my way. Don't delay my practice. I want to practice my martial arts well. In the future, if there's any dangerous mission, I'll be able to handle it by myself. I'll be able to take all the credit and get promoted. I want to be a team leader, a branch leader, and a bureau chief. Hmph, I want to be the youngest, most beautiful, and best female bureau chief in the country! "
Li Rui was flabbergasted when he heard this, and said, "F * ck, so you're working so hard to get promoted. But do you know that by choosing this path, you'll face a lot of danger in the future? And you're too naive. Who told you that the more you do, the faster you'll be promoted? Who told you that you can be the bureau chief of the city's Public Security Bureau just because of your achievements? You're the daughter of a county leader. Don't tell me you don't even know this common knowledge? Let me tell you, I'd rather you be the female bureau chief with the best mouth than be the best in martial arts. "
"That's what I told her, but that damned girl didn't listen. Ai, I can't do anything to her. Xiao Rui, help me talk to her. Come, drink some water first! "
At the door, Cao Quan's voice sounded. Li Rui turned around and saw him pass a cup of hot tea. He quickly took it and thanked him. At this time, he was really thirsty, so he drank half a cup of tea first.
Duan Xiaoqian looked at the two of them indifferently and said, "You guys, don't try to persuade me. Anyway, I've already decided. This is how I'll walk my path in the future. I don't expect to be very good at martial arts. I just want to be at the same level as that Japanese spy. When I reach that level, I'll be invincible in the country. It'll be more than enough to deal with ordinary spies and top criminals. " Speaking of this, he became excited and said, "I feel that the set of basic martial arts that Xu Da taught me is already very effective. Right now, I can already mobilize 40% of my body's strength. Li Rui, if you don't believe me, you can come and try. Don't you know a thing or two?"
Li Rui was baffled when he heard this and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean 'can already mobilize 40% of your body'? Isn't it normal to be able to mobilize 100% of your body's strength? You actually think you're amazing because of this? You even want to spar with me? Duan Xiaoqian, are you drunk? "The Duan Xiaoqian looked at him disdainfully and said," You're a martial arts illiterate! You don't know shit! You know martial arts? I think you only know some low-level martial arts. You don't know anything about advanced martial arts. Give me a few months to practice. Once I've mastered some martial arts, I'll be able to beat you. "
Cao Quan looked at the two of them bickering. He wasn't anxious and just laughed. Later, when he saw that Li Rui was no longer drinking water, he took the teacup from his hand and said, "You two can chat. I won't disturb you." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.
