The two looked at each other for a while, their expressions a bit strange. His right hand and her left hand were handcuffed together, and they almost became conjoined twins.
Wen Xiaowan put her other hand on her forehead and said with a headache, "I'm sorry, my dad is too impulsive."
Shu Jing lowered his head and looked at the genuine handcuffs between their wrists. He couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Majesty, your reputation is indeed well-deserved. Your sword has not aged well!"
Although he is in the army and is a technician and has little interaction with the police, he has already heard of Wen Jinhu's name.
Thirty years ago, when Wen Jinhu was still a young traffic policeman, he had made great achievements. On that occasion, five criminals escaped from a certain prison. The whole city was on alert to pursue them, but nothing was found. Just when everyone thought there was no hope of arresting them.
At that time, Wen Jinhu, who was patrolling a certain street, suddenly received good news. He discovered the vehicle hijacked by criminals, and then chased after him on a motorcycle. With one person, he fought five people and beat the criminals.
From then on, the name of "Five Tiger Generals" spread throughout the world.
"Are you... okay?" Wen Xiaowan glanced at Shu Jing, especially his neck.
Shu Jing rubbed his neck with his other hand. Indeed, Wen Jinhu had pinched him so hard that he almost couldn't breathe. Although he didn't look in the mirror, he bet that there must be bruises on his neck.
"Fortunately, it's nothing serious." He replied implicitly, then glanced at Wen Xiaowan and asked, "What about you? How are you?"
Wen Xiaowan raised her restrained left hand. Although her slender wrist was handcuffed, there was no trace of bruises on her smooth skin. It seemed that her father had shown mercy to her.
"After all, she is his biological daughter, haha." She laughed dryly.
Shu Jing was dumbfounded, so did he deserve to be alone in his misfortune?
"Our current problem is how to solve this?" He raised his hand, and the cold handcuffs made a slight sound. "I just heard my uncle's call on the phone, which seemed to be about a cable report. He probably won't be back for a while."
"It seems so." Wen Xiaowan nodded dejectedly.
"Then we have to think of a way to see if we can unlock the handcuffs." Shu Jing lowered his head and studied the handcuffs.
Wen Xiaowan reached out and took off a few small black hairpins from her head, "Try this."
Shu Jing's mouth twitched. Did she think this was filming a TV series? What they had in their hands was not a prop. It couldn't be unlocked with a hairpin or something. These were real handcuffs!
"Uh... are there any other tools?" he asked politely.
Wen Xiaowan immediately realized that she was too naive, and her face turned red.
Shu Jing's eyes were fixed and the corners of his mouth were raised unconsciously. Although this woman looked fierce, she was quite cute when she was confused.
Wen Xiaowan pursed her lips in embarrassment and said nonchalantly, "Follow me."
Shu Jing stood up and the two of them walked to the balcony one after another. Wen Xiaowan dug out a screwdriver in the tool box and asked, "Is this okay?"
"I'll give it a try." Shu Jing was completely unsure, because he felt that if they could unlock it easily, then there would definitely be no criminals in the prison.
The two of them returned to the sofa and put their hands on the coffee table at the same time. Shu Jing took the screwdriver with his free left hand and inserted the top end into the keyhole. However, after drilling for a long time, the handcuffs were still firm and even a little loose.
There are no signs.
"Let me try. Your left hand is inconvenient." Wen Xiaowan volunteered.
Shu Jing was a little bit hurt by the man's self-esteem, but there was nothing he could do. He was not left-handed, and he really couldn't use his left hand very well.
Wen Xiaowan took the screwdriver in her right hand and moved it vigorously against the keyhole, but five minutes later, she still couldn't get anything done.
"Forget it, I'll do it anyway," Shu Jing said.
"No, no, I don't believe I can't handle it!" Wen Xiaowan became more enthusiastic.
"But……"
"Nothing is wrong, I can do it!" Wen Xiaowan vowed.
Shu Jing had no choice but to shut up, but he was really worried that if she continued to use such force, someone would accidentally stab the back of his or her hand with a screwdriver.
"Clang, clang, clang--" Wen Xiaowan used the screwdriver as a hammer.
Shu Jing closed his eyes. He really couldn't bear to read any more and secretly regretted why he didn't buy more accident insurance.
As expected, he was really afraid of what would happen. Within half a minute, he heard Wen Xiaowan suddenly say "Ah——".
He opened his eyes suddenly and saw a deep red mark scratched by a screwdriver on the back of Wen Xiaowan's hand.
"Are you okay?" He didn't think much, just grabbed her hand and asked with concern.
Wen Xiaowan was stunned for a moment. She felt his warm palm, and a warmth surged in her unprepared heart, a feeling similar to a heartbeat...
"No, it's okay..." she said hesitantly.
It was just two words, but he said them intermittently, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
Shu Jing suddenly realized how abrupt he was and quickly let go of her hand, "Don't do it yet, take a rest."
Wen Xiaowan secretly clenched her fists and her eyes flickered.
Shu Jing glanced at Wen Xiaowan's pretty face with his peripheral vision, and suddenly there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, wanting to know more about her.
Moving his eyes further down, he saw the red marks on the back of her hands. He couldn't help but want to help her rub them, but he felt that if he did that, she would definitely punch him back.
Forget it, the two of them were not familiar with each other after all, so he had better not act rashly, otherwise he might not even be a neighbor anymore.
It was noon at this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and the golden sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The two of them were sitting on the sofa, side by side, legs together, and there was beautiful wallpaper on the background wall of the sofa. If you didn't know,
People would think that they are a sweet couple holding hands, but the reality is very different.
The two of them were silent and didn't speak for a long time, but they couldn't stay silent forever, because the more silent they were, the more embarrassing it would be!
"Would you like some water?"
"Would you like to watch TV?"
The two said in unison, and then were stunned at the same time.
"You speak first……"
"You speak first……"
The two of them were humble at the same time again.
Damn! What are you doing? Wen Xiaowan couldn't help cursing in her heart.
Shu Jing's expression was also a little unnatural, and he coughed twice before speaking again, "You better say it first."
Wen Xiaowan secretly adjusted her breathing and tried to pretend to be calm and said, "Why don't we find a locksmith to come to our house?"
"Locksmith?" Shu Jing thought for a moment and shook his head, "If you were a locksmith, would you dare to open people's handcuffs casually?"
"I will definitely call the police..." Wen Xiaowan was dejected. According to her father's reputation, if she really calls the police, then all the police in the city will know about a man taking a bath in her house, and the dead will be said to be alive.
of.
Shu Ding nodded. If he were a locksmith, he would definitely call the police, so the method of calling a locksmith wouldn't work.
There is only one way for now - wait!
"Gulu gulu——" Wen Xiaowan's stomach began to protest.
Shu Jing sat next to her, so naturally she heard clearly. The two looked at each other, and Wen Xiaowan wanted to hit the wall in embarrassment. Her smile was uglier than crying, "Well... we didn't agree to go to dinner before.
? What to do now?"
Shu Jing felt that he was also a little hungry. After all, they had not had a drop of water since morning, but they were obviously not suitable to go out in this state. Otherwise, they would be regarded as male and female thieves, and they would definitely be on the social media.
"How about ordering takeout?" he suggested.
Wen Xiaowan's eyes lit up, and she was about to say yes, but then her face fell, "What will the delivery staff think when they see us like this?"
Shu Jing reluctantly admitted, "You should think we are playing something like that, right?"
Wen Xiaowan's pretty face darkened, but she had to admit that what he said was very, very reasonable!
Looking at their two virtues: military uniforms, belts, screwdrivers, handcuffs...
Chi Guoguo’s uniform, Chi Guoguo’s s and m!
"Forget it, I'd rather starve to death!" Wen Xiaowan swallowed hard.
Shu Jing also felt the same way, but he couldn't just sit back and wait for death, right?
"How about we cook by ourselves?" he suggested.
"I only have Coke and beer in the refrigerator." Wen Xiaowan was dejected.
"I have some vegetables at home. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing." Shu Jing was glad that he had some stock.
"Then why are you so embarrassed? I agreed to treat you." Wen Xiaowan was used to calculating clearly, so she hesitated a little.
Shu Jing couldn't help but want to laugh. How long has it been and she still cares about this?
"I'll treat you to another meal later, okay?"
"Okay, it's settled! I will definitely treat you to a big meal next time!" Wen Xiaowan promised boldly.
The two reached an agreement and went to the next door "hand in hand". Shu Jing took out the vegetables from his refrigerator.
"It's just ordinary home-cooked vegetables, you don't mind, right?"
Wen Xiaowan shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, it would be good to eat some!"
Shu Jing smiled slightly, admiring her personality and not being squeamish at all.
Because Shu Jing's house was still without water, the cooking work could only be done at Wen Xiaowan's house. After the two got the vegetables, they returned "hand in hand" again.
Before cooking, they went to the bathroom to wash their hands. They had to squeeze together at the small sink. Their intimate figures were reflected in the mirror, like a newly married couple.
Wen Xiaowan glanced at the mirror inadvertently, and her heartbeat suddenly lost its rhythm for no reason. Counting it all together, they had only known each other for dozens of hours, so why were they acting like a couple now? Is this the so-called fate?
Her eyes were fixed unconsciously. The man in the mirror was truly a man in the mirror. Perhaps it was because he worked in the technical department. In addition to the toughness of a soldier, he also had a touch of elegance. If not,
He was wearing a military uniform, so she might have thought he was a lawyer or an accountant, but he was not as rigid as a lawyer or an accountant. He was very talkative and could joke around, and he was not slow when negotiating with construction workers.
Her father was not impatient or impatient after being handcuffed. He was obviously wronged but did not blame her. He was optimistic and calm at the same time.
Perhaps this has something to do with the environment in which he grew up?
Through yesterday's blind date, she had a general understanding of his situation.
To be honest, she admires a man like him. He does not rely on background or family background, but only relies on his own hands and brains to work hard. This kind of motivated military hero is much better than those rich second-generation officials!
Moreover, he was also very filial. According to information dug up by her mother, before his grandparents passed away, they lived next door.
Furthermore, during the blind date yesterday, he was also very polite at the dinner table. He even helped her and her mother pull out chairs before sitting down. During the meal, he didn't talk much. He just said what he had to say. It stands to reason that his skills have such a promising future.
A military officer, he should have a very high opinion of himself. After all, his profession is incomprehensible to ordinary people, but he seems to be very indifferent, and there is no hint of pride in him.
And he is also very good to the younger generation. During the blind date yesterday, she heard his sister say that the gift he bought for his little nephew was quite exquisite!
To sum up, he is really a very good man! In the words of her mother, he is extremely marryable!
The two people's eyes met in the mirror, and each other's breath tightened. It felt as if the air around them was heating up, and an indescribable ambiguous feeling was quietly spreading.
Wen Xiaowan quickly looked away, squeezed some hand sanitizer and rubbed it, then handed the bottle to him, "Do you want to use it?"
Shu Jing let out a low "hmm", his voice slightly hoarse.
The sound of water flowing in the bathroom also flowed in the hearts of the two of them.
Wen Xiaowan couldn't stand the atmosphere, so she washed her hands quickly, took out a towel and wiped it quickly. After wiping, she handed the towel to Shu Jing, "You don't mind using mine, right?"
"Of course not." On the contrary, he was very grateful that although it was just a towel for wiping his hands, it was still a personal item and she could share it with him, which made him feel...well, very warm.
Wen Xiaowan secretly gritted her teeth and desperately told herself that it was just a towel for wiping her hands, not much better than a rag, and she had nothing to mind!
The two of them washed their hands and went to the kitchen together. Because the dining table was placed in the kitchen, the space for movement was smaller. The two of them were crowded in front of the sink. The ambiguous atmosphere was not much better than in the bathroom just now.
Wen Xiaowan was in a daze unconsciously while washing rice. What happened to her? She had never been in love for 25 years, and she didn't have any special feelings when she saw him before. But why did she suddenly feel something was wrong today?
?When did it start? Was it because he helped her resolve the dispute with the construction workers? Or was it because he was nervous and concerned because she almost injured her hand just now? It's really strange, she is not that kind of weak little girl, how could she do this?
Are you excited because of this?
Alas, she had no experience in this area! But she knew that there seemed to be a strange attraction between them, like a magnet.
Shu Jing was also thinking while washing vegetables, and secretly glanced at the girl next to him. She lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something. Although he didn't know many girls, she was the most popular among them.
The one who makes him feel special is that she is very direct, very straightforward, not coquettish or pretentious, God knows he can't stand a woman like that, and she is so straightforward, sometimes a little confused, and occasionally a little guilty 2
The type, but makes him feel very cute!
Perhaps his gaze was too hot. Wen Xiaowan finally noticed it. She raised her head, glared, and asked fiercely, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing..." Shu Jing quickly looked away and said covertly, "I just want to ask you, do you want to eat stir-fried vegetables or stewed vegetables?"
Wen Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't notice that she was thinking about him just now!
"Anything is fine, I'm not picky about food." She told her honestly.
Shu Jing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't suspect him. Otherwise, based on his previous experience, he wasn't sure whether she would pick up the kitchen knife and hit him.
The two continued to cooperate, cooking and cooking together. Although each person could only use one hand, fortunately both of them knew how to cook, so it was not difficult to coordinate.
"I'm going to chop vegetables, be careful with your hands." Wen Xiaowan waved the kitchen knife and prepared to cut.
Shu Jing immediately clenched his fists and matched her movements.
"Dang, dang, dang -" Wen Xiaowan's knife skills are very good, and can be described with the words "fluent and smooth".
Shu Jing's eyes showed admiration, but she couldn't help but want to laugh. It seems that she is really suitable for "dance with swords and guns"!
After cutting the vegetables, let him stir-fry. He waved the spatula with one hand and said, "Salt."
"Here." She scooped some with a small spoon and sprinkled it into the pot.
He stir-fried several times, and she helped turn off the power of the electric wok. He took a plate and took out the vegetables.
In just half an hour, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish were ready, along with a bowl of fragrant kelp soup.
One person holds the bowl and the other person holds the chopsticks, and the coordination is perfect.
"Okay, it's time to start." Shu Jing said with a smile.
"Wait a minute!" Wen Xiaowan mysteriously dragged him towards the refrigerator.
Shu Jing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Under his curious gaze, she opened the refrigerator door and took out two cans of beer.
"Celebrate our happy cooperation!" Wen Xiaowan said happily.
Obviously, she felt very accomplished with this meal.
Shu Jing also thought it was good and took a bottle with a smile.
Because of the handcuffs, they couldn't sit across from each other, so Shu Jing had to move a chair and sit next to Wen Xiaowan. The two helped each other open the can, and Wen Xiaowan raised his glass proudly, "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Shu Jing responded with a smile.
Half an hour later...
"One more drink!" Wen Xiaowan said more than she wanted to.
after an hour……
"Do it again!" She still didn't feel satisfied.
Two hours later...
"Miss Wen? Hello... Xiaowan... wake up..." Shu Jing also felt a little dizzy.
