Shen Xue walked quickly on the street. She was very happy now that she finally caught the last tram, otherwise she would not have been able to get home at ten o'clock.
"Hello, Miss Shen!" A black figure suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Shen Xue was startled, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be American soldier Pearson, holding a wine bottle in his hand and blocking the way.
"I just went to your house and your father was very rude..."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'd like to buy you a drink."
"I can not drink!"
"Then, I invite you to dance at Paramount..."
"I'm sorry, I want to go home, please get out of the way!"
"It's still early, why rush..."
"What are you doing! Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
This is the intersection of Tongzeli Street, which is far away from the residential area. The few shops nearby have already closed their doors, and there are few pedestrians after nine o'clock in the evening.
After shouting several times but no one answered, Shen Xue felt a little panicked. She stepped back step by step, reached out and picked up a brick on the ground, and shouted: "If you come here again, I won't be polite!"
Pearson drank the last sip of wine, threw the empty bottle aside, and laughed loudly: "You're welcome, this is fun!"
Alcohol stimulates uncontrollable desires. If he hadn't been on the street, this guy would have taken off his pants right now.
Seeing Pearson approaching step by step, Shen Xue raised the brick and slapped it down without hesitation, but she didn't want to be grabbed by the wrist, and the brick fell to the ground with a clang.
"Let me go!" Shen Xue screamed in fear.
Pearson touched Shen Xue's face with his big furry hand and said with a lewd smile: "I think I've changed my mind. We won't go drinking or dancing. I'll take you to a fun place..."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked hard in the back. Pearson staggered and fell to the ground. Then he received another straight punch on the face, which caused a nosebleed.
Under the dim street lights, Shen Zhifeng clenched his fists tightly, looked at Pearson with a frosty face, and said: "You have lost all the faces of soldiers, you bastard!"
Shen Zhifeng comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Pearson got up from the ground, and blood immediately flowed down his nostrils. He hurriedly searched for a handkerchief in his pocket and wiped the blood on his face.
Shen Zhifeng said: "I can arrest you now and hand you over to the US Military Police!"
Pearson was scared in his heart, but still spoke tough, saying: "What right do you have to arrest me? It's you who beat an American soldier for no reason. I will sue you and put you in jail!"
Shen Xue said loudly: "The evil one files the complaint first! It's obviously your misbehavior. I am the victim and I can testify!"
Pearson was furious but helpless. He knew very well that his words could scare others, but they were of no use to the head of the Secrecy Bureau.
"This matter will not be settled like this!" With a harsh word, Pearson walked away dejectedly.
"Brother Shen, why are you here?" Shen Xue was in shock, her face as white as a piece of paper.
Shen Zhifeng said: "Oh, I happened to pass by..."
Halfway through the words, Shen Zhifeng shut up in embarrassment. During the relationship between the two, he used this sentence many times as an excuse to see Shen Xue.
Even though she had just experienced a terrible thing, Shen Xue couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, I know you happened to be passing by, so can you stop by my house and take me back?"
Shen Xue's mood improved, and Shen Zhifeng's nerves relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Of course."
In fact, from the moment Shen Xue came out of the Secrecy Bureau, Shen Zhifeng secretly escorted her and drove with her all the way to Tongzeli.
It's not that he has the ability to predict the future, but when he expected Pearson to show up, it was mainly because a little girl was walking at night, which made people a little uneasy.
Shen Xue glanced at Shen Zhifeng secretly, and said casually: "Brother Shen, is your wife here?"
"coming."
"Where does she live?"
"My Home."
"When...will you get married?"
"In two years' time."
Shen Xue said in astonishment: "Why did it take so long?"
Shen Zhifeng explained: "Her father passed away and she has to observe mourning for three years."
"oh……"
Shen Zhifeng lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "Shen Xue, you came back so late, where have you been today?"
"I was arrested by the plainclothes team." Shen Xue said gloomily.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding."
"Then, how do you know it's a plainclothes team?"
"They said it themselves..."
The Secret Bureau is an intelligence agency. They usually wear casual clothes in informal situations, and there is no sign at the gate. Shen Xue mistakenly thought that the person who arrested her was a plainclothes team.
For reasons of confidentiality, Shen Zhifeng didn't explain much. Shen Xue didn't know where she had been, and it only had benefits and no harm to her.
Before reaching the door of the house, Shen Xue's parents hurriedly walked out. Shen Xue had not come back for so long. They were worried and planned to go to the nearby classmates' homes to inquire.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here!" Shen Xue walked over quickly.
Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Mother Shen was relieved and said, "Xue'er, where have you been? Next time you come back late, you have to let me know in advance. Your father and I will be worried to death!"
Shen Xue said coyly: "Mom, you go home first, I will have a few words with Brother Shen..."
Only then did Shen's mother find Shen Zhifeng standing not far away, and quickly whispered: "Xue'er, have you reconciled again?"
Shen Xue stamped her foot and pretended to be angry: "What are you talking about? He and I are just ordinary friends, how can we be reconciled?"
Mother Shen smiled and said, "Even ordinary friends sometimes have conflicts."
A mother knows her daughter's thoughts best. Mr. Shen suddenly disappeared recently. Shen Xue was depressed all day long. Most likely, the two of them had a conflict.
Shen Xue's parents had already discussed it in private. She was just such a precious daughter. Whoever she liked or disliked should be her wish!
When her parents entered the house, Shen Xue stepped up to Shen Zhifeng and said, "I know that you are doing confidential work and it is not convenient for you to have too much contact with outsiders, so I asked them to avoid it."
"Thank you." Shen Zhifeng said.
"Brother Shen..."
"What?"
"I don't blame you for that."
"sorry."
"Don't say you're sorry. I already told you that I don't blame you. It's my own wish..."
The two of them were speechless for a moment, staring into the dark night in silence.
"The weather is so nice, it's not cold at night..." Shen Xue murmured.
"It's mid-May, it's definitely not that cold." Shen Zhifeng said perfunctorily, raising his wrist to glance at his watch.
"Are you going back?"
"It's very late, you should rest early."
"Well..." Shen Xue walked slowly for a few steps, turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, the people from the plainclothes team also asked about you."
Shen Zhifeng's eyes flashed and he said, "What did they ask me?"
"Ask us... what is our relationship."
"How did you answer?"
"I said it's just a normal friendship."
Shen Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want people from the Secrecy Bureau to know about what happened between him and Shen Xue.
"What else did I ask you?"
"Ask me, do you know what you do..."
"What did you say?"
Shen Zhifeng became a little nervous. He revealed his identity to Shen Xue. According to the family rules of the Secrecy Bureau, this was absolutely not allowed.
