Chapter 53: The Drunken Pair of Silly Han and Little Jiang

At 11:30 in the morning, Wei Han, who had recovered from a serious illness, arrived at the appointed restaurant and found that Shao Yi was already waiting in the VIP area.

Wei Han pulled out a chair and his b.u.t.t just sat down when he asked, “Shao Yi, what’s going on?”

Compared to the unclear on the situation and somewhat anxious Wei Han, Shao Yi seemed a lot calmer. “Wei Han, I’m returning to C City tomorrow and I’ve already booked the ticket.”

“Ah?” Wei Han was surprised. “Why do you suddenly want to go back? Did something happen?”

“Nothing happened.” Shao Yi shook his head. “I’m just transferring back to my original place.”

Wei Han still felt something was wrong. His brain turned at lightning speed and immediately guessed, “Is it because of the last criminal gang case? Although you made a mistake when we were tracking down the fugitives, but it wasn’t all your fault.

“Shao Yi, why don’t Little Jiang and I go together to plead with Leader Lu and let you stay first before discussing it over.”

“No need,” Shao Yi immediately refused, frankly admitting, “I want to go.”

After hearing this, Wei Han was suddenly stunned. Expecting that he would have this reaction, Shao Yi’s tone was solemn as he continued to say, “Wei Han, if you never woke up, I probably would have blamed myself for a lifetime.”

Wei Han patted Shao Yi and smiling, said, “Aren’t I okay now? Shao Yi, don’t keep blaming yourself. It’s not like you at all.”

“Really? I also find that I’ve become stranger and stranger,” Shao Yi couldn’t help laughing at himself. Talking and talking, his mood slowly got out of control. “Wei Han, maybe it was because the one hurt was you, you who fell down right before my eyes! Heh, to think that I said I liked you all day long, but in the end, not only did I fail to protect you, but I also dragged you down, making you suffer such a serious injury!”

The unexpectedly stirred up Shao Yi stood up all of a sudden, really startling Wei Han and the other guests around them. Wei Han stared blankly for a moment and quickly helped Shao Yi to sit down, slowly saying, “So…Shao Yi, you’ve really thought it through and really want to go?”

Shao Yi’s face had recovered its calmness. “Yeah. You don’t have to send me off tomorrow.”

Having said so much and seeing that Shao Yi’s mind was already made up, Wei Han also no longer tried to force it. He nodded. “Well then, after a while, I’ll find the opportunity to come see you.”

Shao Yi also nodded. He really needed to go back to C City to calm down his current fluctuating and indefinite feelings.

“Wei Han, during your stay in the hospital, I could see that Qi Zhifan was good to you,” Shao Yi suddenly mentioned Qi Zhifan, “But if he’s bad to you later on, remember well that there’s still me waiting for you.”

Once Wei Han heard this, he slightly bowed his head and felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. At that time, Shao Yi suddenly ran to S City and became his colleague and had also said that he was bent by him. Now it seemed like he had the rhythm of being irretrievably bent ah.

“Shao Yi, you will definitely meet someone better later,” Wei Han advised.

“……” Shao Yi forced out two laughs and didn’t speak.

After the meal ended, Shao Yi left S City.

Recently, in the vicinity of Binjiang District in S City, six theft cases occurred within fifteen days. On this day, Sergeant Lu sent Wei Han and two other police officers to investigate yesterday’s burglary and gather some information. They were returning from the victim’s, Madam Zhao, home when they pa.s.sed a tea house along the way.

At this time, it was just the time to have afternoon tea. The two police officers blurted out that they were hungry and then pulled Wei Han and went in.

After ordering the meal, Wei Han was halfway out of the toilet when his eyes inadvertently saw Ou Yizhe was.h.i.+ng his hands.

Wei Han stared blankly. Somehow, he didn’t come forward to greet him, but subconsciously hid behind him, so Ou Yizhe also didn’t discover Wei Han. After tidying up his collar and hair, Ou Yizhe slightly raised the corner of his lips and went over to his seat.

Wei Han squeezed the flesh on his cheek and looked at the mirror again. He couldn’t help sighing in heart: ai, compared to Ou Yizhe, this face simply couldn’t be seen: too harmful to the eyes.

He wondered who Ou Yizhe was eating with. Curious in his heart, Wei Han secretly followed him. Thinking he couldn’t bother the other person, he’d just look at them from a distance. Who knew that with a glance, he’d recognize the man in a light blue s.h.i.+rt sitting opposite to Ou Yizhe!

He…he was clearly Qi Zhifan!

Wei Han’s eyes suddenly widened, and for fear of being discovered by the two, he quickly ran out of the tea house.

Wei Han really wanted to slap himself. How come it’d been so long, but in the critical moment, his frightened shortcoming would come up again ah! He should have walked over and asked him clearly in person, but…

Wei Han couldn’t help but recall his conversation with Qi Zhifan in the morningー

“Odd Trouble, I see that you’ve recently always had a stiff face and also don’t have much appet.i.te. Did you run across some trouble at work?” Wei Han asked, pouring a gla.s.s of milk and handing it to Qi Zhifan at the dining table.

Qi Zhifan took the gla.s.s and lightly said, “Yeah, I have a troublesome client, so I’m quite busy and may not be able to accompany you on the weekend.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m busy too.” Wei Han waved his hand and smiled, but then he remembered something. “Right, Odd Trouble, my mom, sheー”

At this time, Qi Zhifan’s cell phone rang. He hurriedly took a look and his brows creased again. Wei Han immediately shut up, not wanting to disturb Qi Zhifan’s work.

After a while, Qi Zhifan hung up the phone and hurriedly picked up his coat. Just before he left, he remembered to ask, “Just now, did you have something to say to me?”

“Never mind, it wasn’t something urgent. We can talk about it later when you have the time.”

“Okay.”

Wei Han felt a little sad now. Why did Qi Zhifan want to keep him in the dark? Was that troublesome client Ou Yizhe?

Later, Wei Han called the two colleagues in the restaurant and said he’d gone ahead to the bureau to report the case information to Sergeant Lu by himself.

When it was time to get off work in the evening, Wei Han didn’t really want to go home. Anyway, Qi Zhifan shouldn’t have return yet at this point. The gloomy-hearted Wei Han took a glance and saw that Jiang Chengrui also didn’t show any sign of leaving, silently looking over the information in his hands.

Wei Han walked over and gently gave Jiang Chengrui a pat. “Little Jiang, you’re not going home yet?”

Jiang Chengrui was slightly distracted and closed the information on hand, asking in reply, “You’re also not going back, Silly Han?”

Wei Han scratched his head. “In fact, my mood’s a bit bad.”

“Me too.”

In fact, even if Jiang Chengrui didn’t say it, Wei Han could also see it. Because Jiang Chengrui was always depressed, Wei Han squeezed out a smile. “Little Jiang, then why don’t we go drink together, okay?”

“Okay, let’s go,” Jiang Chengrui readily agreed.

At the bar, Wei Han and Jiang Chengrui had unwittingly already drank more than ten bottles. At this moment, the two of them were softly lying on the counter of the bar, idly chatting.

The two chatted and chatted. Jiang Chengrui suddenly foolishly laughed and brought up the sadness in his heart, “Silly Han, two days ago, my sister forced me to go on a blind date.”

“Wh…what?!” Wei Han heard this and sobered up more than half. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“There’s nothing to say.” Jiang Chengrui feebly shook his head. “This was a matter of sooner or later.”

“Then what about you and Pei Yuyang?” Wei Han urged, “Speaking of him, it seems like it’s been a while since he’d come to find you. Is your sister still so against you guys?”

Jiang Chengrui lowly mm a sound, his eyes filled with dullness. “He came to our house several times before, but was driven away by my sister and she didn’t let us meet.”

Wei Han sighed. This really was a headache, and he didn’t know how to help them at the moment.

Jiang Chengrui drank more wine and the things he usually kept shut in his heart all came pouring out. “Yesterday, Brother Bohao came to find me. Silly Han, can you guess what he said to me?”

“The store manager, him?” Wei Han thought for a moment. Manager Song Bohao had always looked after them, especially Jiang Chengrui.

“He should be concerned about you because he saw you’ve been in a bad state recently. But I couldn’t guess what you specifically talked about.”

“Brother Bohao, he confessed to me that originally, he’d liked me since a long time ago…” Words finished, Jiang Chengrui grabbed a wine bottle and directly poured it down.

Wei Han: “……”

This matter seemed to be beyond his expectations, but also within his expectations.

“I…I rejected him. I think that in this life…I should listen to my sister, find…find a girl, marry…marry her and have children…” Jiang Chengrui was dizzy, his cheeks already burned thoroughly red by the wine, but his eyes were still desolate.

Wei Han shook his head. “Little Jiang, you can’t yield like this! It’s up to you to fight for your own happiness.”

“I really…really can fight for it?” Jiang Chengrui foolishly stared at Wei Han.

Wei Han gravely nodded, but he reflected in his heart: he had always encouraged Jiang Chengrui and Pei Yuyang, but he himself sometimes also needed courage to face a lot.

Soon after, when Wei Han and Jiang Chengrui had already become dead drunk, Qi Zhifan and Pei Yuyang found them.

“Wei Han, you fool, actually ran over here to drink again!” Qi Zhifan shouted with an overcast face.

Wei Han laughed foolishly, “Heheh, Odd Trouble, you came to pick me up.”

Qi Zhifan’s brows furrowed deeper. “If I don’t come find you, were you going to drink yourself to death here?”

“Heheh…” Wei Han giggled and, cupping Qi Zhifan’s face, pursed his lips and kissed him with a smack.

In the next second, Qi Zhifan’s temper cooled.

On the other side, Pei Yuyang supported the boneless Jiang Chengrui. “Curlie, are you awake? Are you okay?”

Jiang Chengrui slowly opened his eyes and vaguely saw Pei Yuyang. Both hands subconsciously pushed him away. “You…you go away…”

“I won’t go!” Pei Yuyang embraced Jiang Chengrui instead, burying his head in the hollow of his neck. “Curlie, I’ve decided that in this life, there’s only you. I don’t want anyone else.”

Afterwards, Pei Yuyang drove away with the dizzy Jiang Chengrui. Wei Han vomited on the side of the road, and Qi Zhifan stroked his back for him and then prepared to help him into the car.

But Wei Han refused to go in, shaking his head. “Odd Trouble, I…I don’t want to take the car. I want you…to carry me back.”

In the middle of the night, how could Qi Zhifan agree with this kind of request? He thought to himself that Wei Han was really drunk.

“Get in the car.”

“I want a hug!” Wei Han foolishly raised his head and spread his arms wide to Qi Zhifan.

“……” Qi Zhifan blanked, suddenly thinking that the drunk and acting crazy Wei Han was unexpectedly cute.

Seeing Qi Zhifan was delaying and hadn’t come over to carry him, Wei Han frowned and became a little angry. “You…you definitely don’t like that I’m fat, don’t like that I’m naive and simply am not worthy of you.”

Qi Zhifan wanted to laugh and helplessly, picked up Wei Han in the next second, all of a sudden staging a standard ‘princess carry’.

“Wei Han, listen to me well: even if you’re thirty pounds heavier, I can still carry you!”
