"This kind of bandage is large in size and waterproof. It doesn't matter even if you are cooking or washing clothes. You have to be careful when you do things to avoid getting hurt again." When Chu Di did this, he had no problem.
He kept talking until the band-aid was put on, and then he sighed softly as if he was relieved.
Lin Xiangwan watched him finish all this in confusion, and then asked, "What are you doing?"
Even though it was already dusk, the sunlight was still dazzling. Against the light, she could not see his appearance clearly. She only felt that his whole body seemed to be trapped in a piece of frosted glass, so hazy that she could not see through it.
We are obviously so familiar people, not only our bodies, but also our minds have explored each other before, so why do we become strangers at this moment?
Chu Di was stunned by her question, but he quickly realized it and said with a wry smile, "The store had a batch of these band-aids before, but they never sold well and were about to expire, so... I'm calling you.
Let’s give it a 20% discount.”
In fact, he didn't know why he rushed out, he just felt that the injury on her hand was too eye-catching.
Lin Xiangwan is an informal person. He is obviously a doctor, but sometimes he always does things that make people laugh.
He still remembered that when the two of them lived together, during the two hottest months, she hid in the air-conditioned room every day, turned the temperature to the lowest, and then slept under a quilt. Even Ye Nan knew that doing so was
It's wrong, but she acted recklessly and didn't take her body seriously at all.
Is it true that people are not afraid of pain after suffering too many injuries? Chu Di wanted to ask, but did not dare to ask. He felt that these words were like several sharp knife tips, rolling back and forth in his mouth, and soon his mouth was full of sweetness.
.
"But I didn't say I wanted it." Lin Xiangwan couldn't turn her head. There was something stuck on her hand, which made her feel a little awkward. She shook it subconsciously. Chu Di grabbed her hand and stopped her from moving it.
, "That's 50% off."
"...Aren't you buying and selling by force?"
"Then I'll give it to you as a gift."
I bought a bag of salt and got a free gift. Fortunately, the convenience store didn't have enough space to sell it, so it was enough to hire just one waiter. Otherwise, if we had hired a few more, I'm afraid the store would have been depleted long ago.
The place where the two of them stood was the entrance and exit of the community. At this time, it was the time when the old ladies went home to cook. Most of the old people in the community knew Chu Di. When they saw him, they greeted him and called him
"Xiao Chu." Chu Di replied with a smile, looking kind and gentle.
Lin Xiangwan felt dizzy. Chu Di was no longer young. At least in her opinion, he had passed the age of being called Xiao Chu. But at these ages, he was often in front of old people over sixty years old. He was indeed still a junior.
.
Perhaps because it was difficult to start a business, he always seemed to her to be much more mature than his peers. Because he seldom smiled, had a serious expression, and had a bad temper, no one had ever called him Xiao Chu. People in his company called him Mr. Chu.
, his friends call him Brother Chu, but she calls him by his first name directly, or Mr. Chu.
It is easy to tell the relationship between two people from the name one person calls the other. The closer the person is, the less likely they are to call each other by their first names. Because they like each other in their hearts, they always like to give each other many cute nicknames.
But the two of them have never been like this. Even in the days when their physical relationship was the most intimate, Chu Di occasionally got excited and would call her "girl", but she...
Perhaps in her heart, she had always regarded him as someone who should not be approached, so she never allowed her heart to truly get close to him.
"Hey, why are Xiao Chu and Xiao Lin standing here? Have you two known each other for a long time?" A mother-in-law asked gossiping when she passed by.
"no."
"Yes, I recognized him before."
They both answered quickly at the same time, but their answers were completely different.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law just asked casually, and because she was hard of hearing, she just listened and left. Only these two people were left, standing there generously, wanting to say goodbye to each other, but not knowing what to say.
Finally, Chu Di spoke and broke the silence, "It's a busy time in the store. I'll go back first. You should go home quickly. Ye Nan should be anxious."
After he finished speaking, he returned the vegetable bag to her and left without looking back. Lin Xiangwan looked at his back, and it took her a long time to make a low voice, and she said, "Thank you." Chu Di's leaving figure was because of
There was a pause at these two words, but in the end he didn't look back.
*In just half a month, two major cases occurred in City H. One was the theft of a famous painting from a museum, and the other was a shocking female serial killer.
Because Lin Xiangwan was in the forensic team, she had no time to care about other things except immersing herself in various test reports and comparing previous reports every day. Therefore, she only cared about the latter of these two cases.
Generally speaking, such perverted killers are people with serious personality or psychological flaws, but the person they faced this time was not this type at all. He was very cunning and had excellent psychological quality, such as fighting with the bailiffs.
As if playing a game, every time the bailiffs and investigators thought they had discovered something, he would deal them a fatal blow immediately, and this blow would often be another young female corpse.
Extreme cases like this are very challenging. Lin Xiangwan appeared as a newcomer and encountered such a thing just one month after taking over the job. He didn't know whether to be happy or cry.
The case could not be solved and the tasks given by the superiors could not be completed. The whole team was under great pressure. Su Cen was like a fully loaded explosive barrel, threatening to explode at any time.
Lin Xiangwan usually wouldn't take work matters home, but this case was so special that she had no choice but to carry bags of information home.
Every day when Ye Nan fell asleep, she would read it at night with the lamp in hand, hoping to find out the clues as soon as possible.
Because it is an old community and most of the residents are elderly people, the community will immediately become quiet after ten o'clock every day. Lin Xiangwan flipped through the information in his hand without noticing the time.
the passage of.
Just when she felt inexplicably familiar with the knife edge on a photo, a clear knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Lin Xiangwan's heart skipped a beat. She covered her chest and walked to the door, asking in a low voice, "Who is it?" The old-fashioned security door had no peepholes. Ever since Lin Xiangwan was frightened by Chu Di,
Whenever someone knocks on the door, always ask first who it is.
The man's calm reply came from outside the door, "Xu Yunqi."
Lin Xiangwan let out a long breath, opened the door, and said feebly to the man, "Why are you here so late? You scared me to death."
"What? Have you been in trouble recently?" Xu Yunqi frowned, and Lin Xiangwan turned sideways and let him into the room.
"It's nothing serious, I'm just looking at a case... Lao Xu, what's wrong with your face?" Using the light in the room, Lin Xiangwan could clearly see Xu Yunqi. The man's face was bruised and purple, and there were heavy bruises under his eyes.
The lip was also torn, turned outward and swollen. Fortunately, he asked her if she was in trouble. He was the one who was really in trouble, right?
Lin Xiangwan didn't have time to listen to Xu Yunqi's explanation of how the wound came about, so he quickly took out the first aid box from the back room.
The injuries on the face are not serious, but there is one on the eyebrow bone that is very serious, and I'm afraid it won't work without stitches.
Lin Xiangwan said to Xu Yunqi hesitantly, "I don't have anesthesia here, and my hands are shaking. I suggest you go to the hospital?"
"It doesn't matter, you can do it." Xu Yunqi said kindly, and then closed his eyes, as if he was not worried that Lin Xiangwan would sew a thick-legged centipede on his eyebrow. Seeing his calm attitude, Lin Xiangwan was relieved.
, stopped talking and concentrated on sewing Xu Yunqi's wounds.
"Are your hand tremors better? I see that it doesn't have much of an impact on you normally." The needle pricked and brought out a line of blood. Xu Yunqi's brows only trembled slightly, but there was no wave in his voice at all. Lin
Xiang Wan praised in his heart what a man he was, and then replied, "I usually tremble occasionally, but you can't tell if you don't look carefully. But I can't go on the operating table. The more nervous I am, the worse I tremble. In the worst cases, I can't even see it."
I can’t even take the knife.”
"In this case, your current job is not very good. You can be on stage without worrying about patients complaining." Xu Yunqi said jokingly.
Lin Xiangwan smiled softly, "Otherwise, what do you think I am doing so hard for? The main reason is that the treatment is good, and I can still make money after renting and raising children. Lao Xu, how did you get this injury?"
Ever since Ye Nan and Lin Xiangwan returned to H City, Xu Yunqi would often take the time to come over to see them. He always brought something with him when he came. Lin Xiangwan was quite embarrassed at first, but then he gradually got used to it.
Xu Yunqi is very different from the men she has interacted with before. Most of the men who grew up around Lin Xiangwan were polite and gentle. Occasionally, there were some like Chu Di. Although they were beasts in nature, they always had to pretend in front of others.
Pretend to be a gentleman so that you can disguise yourself and prevent others from discovering your true identity.
But Xu Yunqi never pretends. He is who he is. He never feels inferior when he works as a bodyguard or a thug. If someone asks about his occupation, he will not covertly say that it is security work.
He gave Lin Xiangwan an inexplicable sense of security, as if it wouldn't matter if the sky fell. As long as she had this man, she wouldn't have to lie down.
When the last stitch was sewn, Lin Xiangwan tightened his hand strength because he had to tie the knot. Xu Yunqi pursed his lips, endured the pain, and then said, "Punch."
"There is also a boxing ring here?" Lin Xiangwan asked in a low voice. He cut the thread with scissors, cleaned the wound, and applied some medicine to cover the wound. "Black market boxing ring? Isn't it banned? Why are there still there?"
"
"If there is money to be made, some people will take risks in any business." Xu Yun replied, "In several regular places in the city, there are private black boxing businesses. You just don't know."
Lin Xiangwan smacked his lips, but then he thought something was wrong, "Didn't you open a company with your friends? Why did you go back to boxing? What happened to the company?"
