Lu Hui didn’t come to work within the morning, and when he got here to the workplace later, he was stunned to seek out that Ji Fanyang had not are available in that morning, both. 

Rao Feifei was leaning on the desk and scrolling by Weibo and Yang Jie was engrossed in paperwork. Lu Hui sat his behind down and pulled out a pill to look at an fascinating cleaning soap opera. 

The within of the workplace was very quiet, with solely the sounds of the cleaning soap opera and the scribbling of a pen. 

It wasn’t till 4 within the afternoon when Ji Fanyang hurriedly rushed into the workplace. 

Listening to the sounds of footsteps, Lu Hui raised his head, squinted, then out of the blue opened his eyes vast. 

Ji Fanyang occurred to come across a well timed piece of knowledge: “Chief Lu.” He raised his proper hand to sign to Lu Hui to come back out of the workplace. 

With Lu Hui’s ethical character, would he actually come out obediently? Nope. 

And so, Lu Hui closed the pill and simply as he was going to open his mouth, Ji Fanyang robbed him of the possibility: “Chief Lu went to maneuver this morning?”

Lu Hui answered: “Sure. The constructing collapsed.”

Rao Feifei dropped her cellphone in astonishment and checked out Lu Hui: “The constructing collapsed?!”

“Chief Lu’s residential space is being demolished and its residents resettled.” Ji Fanyang defined. He turned to ask Lu Hui, “Chief Lu, the place are you residing now?”

“I’ll simply discover a random lodge.” Lu Hui replied. He raised an eyebrow, “Why are you involved about this?”

“I…” Ji Fanyang clenched his again tooth, “I’ve been wanting cash lately and I needed to seek out somebody to co-rent an condo with.”

Lu Hui laughed without delay: “In need of cash? Is that this why you disappeared for a complete morning?”

“Mm.” Ji Fanyang sighed, his tawny irises taking a look at Lu Hui, “Chief Lu, may you co-rent with me?”

“Did you discover an condo?” Lu Hui requested. 

“There’s one on the sting of the Linhua District and the Liuting District, a two bed room, one lounge. Would you like to have a look?” Ji Fanyang requested. 

Lu Hui stood up, and as he went to step ahead, his proper leg paused. He frowned barely and he reached out his proper hand to assist himself on the desk. After just a few seconds, he took his first step. He raised his head and stored a relaxed expression: “Let’s go.”

Ji Fanyang sensed that one thing was off, however he didn’t know what. He may solely wait till Lu Hui walked over and the 2 left the workplace collectively. 

It was raining exterior, the sunshine drizzle pitter-pattering onto their faces. Ji Fanyang had diligently introduced an umbrella, so he opened it, and the 2 walked underneath it collectively. 

“I actually wish to know what you spent your cash on.” Lu Hui stated. His arms have been hidden behind his again, and with every step, they trembled a bit of. 

Ji Fanyang hesitated for a second. They quickly arrived on the automotive. He opened his mouth, and like he was afraid of Lu Hui’s derision, shrank his head again: “I went to discover a lawyer.”

Lu Hui understood all the things straight away and his derisive smile arrived simply as anticipated: “Appears to be like like our little angel paid a premium for an underage assassin to have lawyer.”

Ji Fanyang glared at Lu Hui indignantly: “Li Wenyuan didn’t obtain any justice, so Li Yun ought to.”

Lu Hui shrugged and pulled open the passenger’s facet door: “It’s your cash, your resolution.”

Ji Fanyang stood exterior the automotive, observing Lu Hui in astonishment: “You’re not driving at the moment?”

“I don’t wish to.” Lu Hui answered. His expression was regular, however a sliver of ache appeared indistinctly in his pitch-black eyes. He made positive to decrease his lashes to hide it, “I watched TV all day, so I’m drained.”

Ji Fanyang rolled his eyes, then walked round and pulled open the automotive door and bought in. He put the umbrella within the backseat and buckled his seat belt, glancing at Lu Hui in passing. 

Lu Hui fiddled with the already-buckled seat belt: “Buckle up, Mr. Policeman.”

Ji Fanyang inserted the important thing and began the automotive, rigorously pulling out of the parking area as he requested Lu Hui: “What necessities do you might have for an condo?”

“Higher than your previous condo.” Lu Hui answered. 

“Then you definitely don’t have any necessities.” Ji Fanyang stated, “So long as it gained’t collapse, proper?”

“To be sincere, I don’t thoughts sleeping open air.” Lu Hui stated. 

Ji Fanyang turned on some music. The glow of the sundown slanted onto Lu Hui’s thighs, and Ji Fanyang found that Lu Hui’s proper leg was stiffly leaning towards the automotive door. He was a bit of puzzled, however he didn’t ask about it. 

They drove easily to the junction between Linhua District and Liuting District, to the Lanshan condo advanced. 

“Which flooring?” Lu Hui bent his proper leg and frowned. He opened the automotive door and cautiously put his proper leg down, his left following nimbly. 

Ji Fanyang watched Lu Hui’s actions solemnly till, eventually, he couldn’t maintain himself again from asking: “What’s flawed along with your proper leg?”

“I cherished to mess around as a baby, and I fell out of a tree and broke my leg.” Lu Hui pulled out the excuse he used to dupe individuals for the previous ten years, and answered with out care, “It hurts on wet days.”

Ji Fanyang half believed him and half doubted him. He disembarked, took out the umbrella, locked the door, then opened the umbrella and walked facet by facet with Lu Hui: “I don’t consider you.” 

Lu Hui raised an eyebrow: “Why not?”

“I went to analyze you.” Ji Fanyang stated, unperturbed, “It’s unusual, your hospitalization information the 12 months you have been fifteen.”

“What else did you examine?” Lu Hui teased, “What I wish to eat, what colours I like, what TV exhibits I like, what lady I like, what model of condom I like to make use of and which taste?”

The extra Lu Hui spoke, the extra he went past what was correct. Ji Fanyang interrupted him: “You had a good friend named Yu Feiyang, who died.”

Lu Hui out of the blue went silent. He turned his head to stare fixedly at Ji Fanyang, like a lone wolf leaping up and baring its fangs: “What else did you examine?”

“Simply this bit.” Ji Fanyang stated fearlessly. He had skilled many battles, confronted many several types of personalities, and was peerlessly brave and affected person. He ate up ache, uncovered it, soothed it, then sought the following wailing soul. 

“We’ll take a look at the condo first.” Lu Hui didn’t acknowledge Ji Fanyang’s surveying look. He was not keen to recollect these days of foul stenches, starvation, wrath, despair, collapse, and staking all of it on a single shot. 

They walked into the elevator. Ji Fanyang pressed the button ‘15’, and the elevator went up. 

The elevator doorways opened and Ji Fanyang introduced Lu Hui to the condo labeled ‘1521’ to the appropriate. 

Ji Fanyang unlocked the door and went inside. It was a two bed room unit, with one lounge, one kitchen, one rest room, and a big, clear balcony dealing with the solar. 

Lu Hui was like a canine patrolling its territory as he walked round in every single place. He entered the bed room closest to the balcony, which had a fan and a door main on to the balcony. He stated: “That is my room.”

“Okay.” Ji Fanyang nodded. 

Lu Hui raised his head and peered at Ji Fanyang: “I don’t like residing with individuals. You realize that. Why did you invite me?”

“We’re pals.” Ji Fanyang stated with a slight smile. 

“You will have many pals.” Lu Hui stated. 

Ji Fanyang shook his head: “Should you’re referring to my ex-girlfriend, my ex-ex-girlfriend, my ex-ex-ex-girlfriend, and my ex-ex-ex-ex-girlfriend, then that’s certainly many. However in Linhua Metropolis, the one good friend I’ve is you.”

Lu Hui’s eyes sparkled as he smiled. He preferred brave individuals. The way in which Ji Fanyang may carelessly use his wounds to make jokes made him admire him. 

“Wish to try the balcony?” Ji Fanyang opened the door within the bed room and stepped out onto the balcony. 

Lu Hui adopted him out onto the balcony. The balcony was fully enclosed and had all the requirements, together with a window, display screen, and guardrail. There was an extended divan with two small cupboards on both facet. Ji Fanyang sat on the divan and introduced up the subject that had been fermenting in his thoughts for some time: “Do you wish to discuss your previous?”

Lu Hui retreated a step, assuming a posture of sure refusal. 

“You realize about my previous, or a portion of it.” Ji Fanyang stated. He knew that Lu Hui was a logical beast and would settle his money owed as a give-and-take interplay, “”I feel I ought to know yours, too, a portion of it.” 

“I’ve loads in my previous.” Lu Hui stated. He sensed Ji Fanyang’s try to look at him, “And also you solely wish to learn about essentially the most painful portion of it.”

“Of my 4 ex-girlfriends, the primary was harm by her mother and father’ divorce, the second had a extreme inferiority advanced, the third was weighed down by despair, and the fourth was abnormally dependent.” Ji Fanyang counted on his fingers, “I lent them my ear and guided them out of their very own worlds.”

“So? You see me as your fifth girlfriend and also you wish to save me?” Lu Hui refuted caustically. 

Ji Fanyang’s brown eyes have been like a drop of daylight on this gloomy, wet day. He reassured Lu Hui calmly: “No, it’s as a result of we’re pals.” He defined additional, “And pals assist one another. Isn’t this regular?”

The sunshine in Lu Hui’s eyes went out. He requested: “What you’re doing now isn’t serving to one another. It’s spying on personal issues.”

“It’s been too lengthy because you’ve had pals.” Ji Fanyang stated, “After Yu Feiyang died, you refused everybody’s assist. I wish to provide help to as a good friend.”

Yu Feiyang. Lu Hui was affected by this identify that appeared nearly unfamiliar and distant. He sat down on the lengthy divan. His hand rubbed his proper leg, massaging to ease the ache. 

Ji Fanyang shifted Lu Hui’s proper leg onto his lap and began massaging it for him. His eyelashes curved downward, gentle and wonderful.
