“In half an hour, at Zhongjie Street.”
Su Jiang stared blankly at An Rou… and Qiuna standing beside her.
“Hey, long time no see!”
Qiuna greeted Su Jiang enthusiastically.
“Long, long time no see, Sister Qiuna.” Su Jiang managed to force a smile and waved his hand lightly.
“Go back to your human world, please.”
He knew it. An Rou wouldn’t have proactively invited him out on a date.
Looking at the large bags and packages on the ground, Su Jiang understood instantly.
She called him here to carry her bags?
“Heehee.”
An Rou, with her eyes curved in a smile, flung herself onto Su Jiang, saying:
“I bought a lot of things with Sister Qiuna, so I urgently called you over.”
“Here, this is the milk tea I bought for you!”
After saying this, An Rou handed Su Jiang the prepared milk tea, with a straw inserted.
Not far away, Qiuna was fed a sudden dose of dog food.
An Rou, you didn’t say this milk tea was for Su Jiang!
“She thought An Rou bought it for her to drink.”
“No wonder she didn’t want sugar…” Qiuna mumbled.
Su Jiang took a sip of the milk tea, then reached out to take the shopping bag from Qiuna.
“Huh? This is… men’s clothing?”
“An Rou bought most of it for you!”
Qiuna laughed helplessly, “She said the clothes in your closet are always the same few, so she asked me to come out and help buy you some clothes.”
Su Jiang looked at An Rou upon hearing this.
An Rou’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she stubbornly said, “I, I just bought them by the way…”
By the way?
Su Jiang glanced at the large bags and packages. “By the way?”
Tsk tsk tsk, our An Rou is truly proud and stubborn.
However, he didn’t expose her, and he honestly acted as a tool man.
The three continued to stroll through the streets.
Su Jiang and An Rou were holding hands intimately, while Qiuna was fuming with jealousy behind them.
She shouldn’t have come.
The world of three people is too crowded, there’s no room for her.
“By the way, I might be going to Xizhou in a couple of days.”
Su Jiang said to An Rou, “The results of the higher mathematics competition are out, I got first place, so I have to go to Xizhou to participate in the national competition.”
“So, will you go to Xizhou with me to have some fun?”
Su Jiang paused and then said, “I have a friend there, and I heard they’re going to hold a lantern festival.”
Lantern Festival?
An Rou blinked, her heart slightly moved.
The main thing is, in the past half a month, their relationship hasn’t progressed much.
This big pig hoof Su Jiang, he doesn’t know how to be proactive.
An Rou wanted to take this opportunity to make a breakthrough with Su Jiang.
But…
“Isn’t it the final exam in a couple of days?” An Rou asked worriedly.
“It’s okay, I’ll ask Old Zhang to help us reschedule the exam.”
“Don’t you still have a deal with Wang Ziyang?”
“Uh… is that a thing?”
Su Jiang scratched his head, finally remembering.
That guy Wang Ziyang, he seemed to say he would buy a new Yasuo skin for Su Jiang, and asked him to cheat for him.
“Whatever!”
Su Jiang said with a pained expression, “I don’t want the skin anymore.”
What a touching brotherly bond…
An Rou secretly complained, then said, “If that’s the case, we still need to buy some things for the trip.”
“You two go ahead, I won’t be joining you.”
Qiuna protested, adding, “My shop is just ahead, I need to go back. I won’t be your lightbulb anymore.”
“Huh? Sister Qiuna, you’re still here?” An Rou turned around and exclaimed, “I thought you already left.”
“I…” Qiuna opened her mouth, but didn’t curse.
I still have my things in Su Jiang’s hands, how can I leave?
Just talk.
You two are in love, the one who gets hurt is someone else.
“Give me!”
She stormed over to Su Jiang, grabbed her belongings, and without a word, Qiuna returned to her pet shop.
Su Jiang and An Rou were stunned, somewhat confused.
“Sister Qiuna, why is she angry?” An Rou asked.
“I don’t know, maybe that guy Cai made another mistake and upset Sister Qiuna?”
Su Jiang scratched his head.
He remembered An Rou saying that Qiuna was Li Cai’s cousin.
And Li Cai often made Qiuna angry in the past.
“That Li Cai, when will he ever grow up?”
An Rou took a sip of milk tea and said, “Let’s go buy some travel necessities.”
“Okay.”
…
Inside the Inspectorate Bureau, in the Director Zheng’s office.
“Director, I don’t understand!”
Yang Ming pointed at the list of personnel and said, “Why do I have to work under Su Jiang?”
“Yang Ming, you need to understand our difficulties.” Director Zheng said calmly while sipping his tea.
“I don’t understand.”
“You need to learn to overcome…”
“I can’t overcome it.”
Yang Ming widened his eyes and pointed outside, “You know what kind of person Su Jiang is, he’s a complete nutcase!
“If you made him my subordinate, I would have endured it.”
“But I’m supposed to be his subordinate, why?!”
Director Zheng looked up, surprised by Yang Ming’s reaction.
He really didn’t expect Yang Ming to react so strongly.
“Moreover, Director, it’s not just me, many of our brothers have feelings about this…”
“Yang Ming.” Director Zheng interrupted, “Let’s make a bet.”
Yang Ming was taken aback, blinked, and before he could speak, Director Zheng continued, “If Su Jiang can find Ding Qiming in Xizhou this time, you will work under him, how about that?”
“Find Ding…”
Yang Ming’s words stopped abruptly, his eyes widened in shock.
“Is that Ding Qiming from the… Beijing incident a few years ago?”
“He’s in Xizhou?”
“Not sure.” Director Zheng shook his head, “You know, I’ve been looking for him for years.”
“All these years, I only have a guess, maybe he was… hidden in Xizhou.”
“So I gave Su Jiang a mission, to find Ding Qiming.”
Having said that, Director Zheng looked up at Yang Ming, “What do you say, bet?”
Yang Ming’s expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.
After a long pause, he gritted his teeth, “Bet!”
“If Su Jiang really finds Ding Qiming, I’ll willingly work under him.”
“And the ideological work of the others…”
“I’ll do it!”
Director Zheng smiled in satisfaction upon hearing this.
After Yang Ming left, the office became dark again.
Director Zheng lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, his eyes deep, as if recalling something.
“Ding Qiming…”
He muttered the name, it was impossible to tell if he was happy or sad.
Only those who had experienced that battle knew.
That name, that person, what it meant.
He was a good person.
He was also a person who deserved to die.
