“Pleasure working with you.” Standing within the airport, Lu Hui and Zhong Yuxiu shook arms with one another. 

Zhong Yuxiu smiled: “Likewise. Goodbye.” He eliminated his hand. 

Lu Hui dipped his chin in a nod: “Goodbye.” He circled and introduced his squad, together with the unpaid Xi Junhong, to the safety line. 

“So, the archives?” Ji Fanyang requested, “We’re all going?”

“Simply you and me.” Lu Hui lowered his voice, “Speak quieter. I don’t need the entire airport to know concerning the murder.”

Ji Fanyang sighed, then turned helplessly to the stricken safety guard and defined: “No worries, he’s kidding.”

“I’m not.” Lu Hui stated, lifeless severe. 

Ji Fanyang patted Lu Hui, then comforted the guard: “He actually is kidding.”

Regardless that Ji Fanyang had a heat, innocent look, he was nonetheless dragged by means of two safety checks due to Lu Hui. 

Economic system class. 

“Director Gao’s stinginess is outrageous.” Lu Hui’s one meter eighty-five determine was huddled within the slim seat by the window, wanting fairly pathetic. 

Ji Fanyang was solely somewhat shorter than Lu Hui, so he felt uncomfortable as nicely. Nevertheless, he didn’t have the identical constructing resentment as Lu Hui. He forged a sidelong look at Lu Hui: “In service of the individuals.” 

“…Manners, younger man.” Lu Hui hmph’d indignantly, spreading his arms out till he took up half of Ji Fanyang’s area. 

Ji Fanyang smiled good-naturedly, conniving at Lu Hui’s conduct. His tawny-brown eyes had been like fragments of daylight. 

As earlier than, the flight was over two hours lengthy. Other than Lu Hui’s grumbling complaints, his dishonest tossing and turning, and his outrageously ridiculous pranks, the flight went nicely. 

They grabbed their baggage and exited the airport. Lu Hui addressed his squad: “Ji Fanyang and I are staying in Zhongchuan Metropolis to care for one thing. You all return first.”

“Wait, however we haven’t caught the assassin but?” Rao Feifei requested in astonishment. 

“We’ll.” Lu Hui didn’t want to elaborate, “Watch for my information in Linhua Metropolis.”

Yang Jie nodded, then pulled Rao Feifei away, who nonetheless needed to ask additional questions: “Understood.”

Yang Jie, Rao Feifei, and Xi Junhong left. Lu Hui referred to as a cab: “The Public Security Bureau.”

Ji Fanyang and Lu Hui sat collectively within the again seat: “Public Security Bureau?”

“Borrowing a automobile.” Lu Hui stated, “I don’t need to take a cab in all places.”

“…You already know individuals in Zhongchuan Metropolis?” Ji Fanyang was 200 p.c uncertain. 

Lu Hui smiled fakely: “They’ll lend me one.”

The cab stopped in entrance of Zhongchuan Metropolis’s Public Security Bureau. Lu Hui bought out of the automobile as Ji Fanyang settled the fare. 

Lu Hui had simply stepped into the Bureau when a policeman came visiting to greet him: “Yo, if it isn’t the Miraculous Detective Lu. It’s been awhile.” 

“Very long time no see.” Lu Hui’s face was chilly, “I got here to borrow a automobile.”

The policeman compelled a smile: “No downside, no downside.” 

“You agreed shortly. The important thing, then?” Lu Hui stretched out a hand. 

The policeman smiled barely: “Free-loading isn’t very upstanding.” 

Lu Hui glared at him: “You owe me a number of favors.”

The policeman’s smile dropped, and he even appeared a bit offended: “Converse sensibly, Lu. You stole these instances from me.” 

“These instances had been resolved in my arms. If I hadn’t taken them, they wouldn’t have been resolved till the top of time.” Lu Hui’s means to render somebody speechless was removed from rusty, “Give me the important thing.”

“Wait, Chief Lu.” Ji Fanyang couldn’t watch anymore. Seeing that that they had run into hassle buying the important thing, he requested gently, “When the instances had been resolved, whose signature was on the paperwork?”

“His signature.” Lu Hui pointed on the policeman. He smiled craftily, “See, he owes me a favor.”

The policeman held himself again for some time, then took the keys out of his pocket and tossed them to Lu Hui: “Two days, at most.”

“Two days are sufficient.” Lu Hui slipped the keys into his pocket, “Let’s go.”

They discovered the automobile within the car parking zone and drove off. 

“To the Public Safety Division[1]?” Ji Fanyang sat within the passenger seat. The clock on the dashboard displayed the time: 4:30 PM. 

“How may we do this.” Lu Hui replied incredulously, “We’re going to the mall.”

“…The mall???” Ji Fanyang shouted, “Why’re we going to the mall?”

“Shopping for garments.” Lu Hui pulled on the collar of his wrinkled shirt, “This gained’t do.”

Ji Fanyang began to doubt the aim of their journey to the Public Safety Division: “Why do we have to change if we’re going to the Public Safety Division?”

“…The archives are inconvenient.” Lu Hui hemmed and hawed, then stated coldly, “Cease asking so many questions.”

Ji Fanyang shut his mouth and stopped asking. Lu Hui wouldn’t reply now, however he would discover out tomorrow once they went to the Public Safety Division. He didn’t want to fret an excessive amount of for the second. 

The automobile stopped in entrance of an infinite shopping center. Lu Hui bought out of the automobile, and the 2 of them took the elevator to the fourth ground’s menswear division. 

Accompanying Lu Hui to the mall was a particular sort of torment. Regardless that Ji Fanyang had skilled it one earlier than whereas shopping for furnishings and home equipment, he nonetheless couldn’t adapt this time. 

Lu Hui was one meter eighty-five, tall and slender. Though slovenly in look, with stubble alongside his jawline and a crumpled shirt, he was nonetheless superb wanting. 

He had an air of gloom blended with a mysterious melancholy. His occasional childishness made others discover him each cute and detestable. Every time he merely sat quietly, his brows knitted and his eyelashes swooping down over his cheeks, his undisguised vulnerability was a blow on to different individuals’s hearts, women and men alike. 

Ji Fanyang was well-acquainted with this kind of shock assault. Every time he let Lu Hui have his manner, it was for that reason. 

“Excuse me, who shall I help…?” The store assistant came visiting to greet them. 

Ji Fanyang pointed to Lu Hui: “Him.”

“Oh…Then, what sort of clothes are you searching for, sir?” The assistant requested. 

Lu Hui hesitated for a second, then checked out Ji Fanyang awkwardly: “You decide.”

Ji Fanyang sighed, then accepted his destiny and walked over to the cabinets: “Alright.” He had lengthy since given up hope for Lu Hui’s aesthetic sensibilities. 

Lu Hui picked out a light-colored T-shirt from the pile, one which didn’t match him in any respect. He appeared to have an innate incompatibility with mild colours. When he got here out sporting a cream-colored shirt, Ji Fanyang coated his eyes: “My God, you’re like a wolf in sheep’s clothes.” 

Lu Hui pulled on the hem of his shirt: “Didn’t you decide this one out?”

“I simply needed to strive one thing out.” Ji Fanyang defined. He couldn’t forestall his lips from curving upward, “Okay, I simply needed to see you put on it. Hahaha, you possibly can go change.” 

Lu Hui threw a menacing take a look at Ji Fanyang, then went again into the altering room. 

When Lu Hui wore darker colours, regardless if it was darkish brown, darkish grey, darkish purple, or black, he appeared to unfurl a set of invisible wings. Ji Fanyang rubbed his eyes. He sincerely acknowledged that Lu Hui had the potential to behave because the villain of a play. 

They picked out shirts, pants, socks, and sneakers, then went to pick a watch. As they adopted from behind, the store assistant stated: “You two have relationship.” 

Lu Hui shrugged: “That is considered one of my vexations. He’s too clingy.”

Unwilling to be outdone, Ji Fanyang stated: “He can’t even purchase garments with out me, so who’s really clingy right here.”

Lu Hui mounted a watch on his wrist: “This one?”

Ji Fanyang shook his head: “Too heavy. How about this one?”

The store assistant handed the watch that Ji Fanyang picked out to Lu Hui. He mounted the clasp; the watch was refined and chic. Lu Hui nodded in satisfaction, then glanced on the value, calmly took it off, and put it again: “Let’s go take a look at the cuffs. I heard that sandalwood is fairly good.”

Ji Fanyang famous the model and value with out altering expression, then stated: “Alright, let’s go look.”

After they left the counter, Lu Hui stated: “Don’t be a idiot and spend a lot cash on a look ahead to me.”

“…” Ji Fanyang blinked, “You’re too narcissistic.” 

Lu Hui was silent.
