"This outfit looks good." Zhou Yuanzun activated the activation device, looked back, and spoke while looking at Wei Zhenyin who was not sitting in the front passenger seat. That kind of tone, compared to the insolence of the morning, was much fainter, to the point that it was as if he was praising the delicacy of the food on the table.
"Yes, you picked it out for me a long time ago. It's your first time wearing it today."
Wei Zhenyin pursed her slightly dry lips. This kind of atmosphere made her feel a little depressed, but when they were playing around in the morning, that kind of happiness made her feel warmth up close to her. Although she acted like she didn't care, but she longed for that atmosphere to continue, but the feeling that rose up from the bottom of her heart couldn't be fake.
It was probably the warmth of family. It could express everything without restraint, it could go mad, it could laugh at others, it could speak without restraint. However, it was like a firework, instantly dying.
The car started slowly and left Gui Yuan Garden, heading towards Chow Group.
"I'll stop the car. You go on up first." Zhou Yuanzun placed Wei Zhenyin in front of the company's main entrance. His tone was still as calm as before, but it did not stop his gentleness.
"It's alright... "Well, okay, I'll go in first." Wei Zhenyin wanted to say, it's alright, the two of us can leave together, but she swallowed back the words that were at the tip of her tongue, she really shouldn't say these words again.
Carrying a light pink alligator skin pouch, Wei Zhenyin absent-mindedly kicked at small stones as she walked inside the company.
"Miss Wei, do you want to come in and have a cup of coffee?" A familiar voice came from behind, causing Wei Zhenyin's petite body to tremble.
His eyes, which had been drooping slightly due to lethargy, suddenly snapped open, but quickly regained their former liveliness.
"Boss Song, are there a lot of guests today?" Wei Zhenyin blinked her eyes, lightly walked over and laughed and said.
"Miss Wei, take a look at this plate." Song Wu knocked on the door, as though he had unintentionally thought of it, and said indifferently.
Wei Zhenyin raised her head and saw the red billboard hanging at the side of the exquisite window. The one at the most corner seemed to have accidentally fallen off, it was empty and unoccupied, and if one didn't pay careful attention, one wouldn't even notice it at all.
"Boss Song, what a coincidence. I'm at work today. I'll be down in a while." Wei Zhenyin looked at her, indicating that she understood.
"I hope that Miss Wei can come and enjoy the day after work." Song Wu did not display any other intentions, and remained as enthusiastic as ever as if he was taking care of other customers.
Seeing Zhou Yuanzun walking over from far away, Wei Zhenyin nodded, then walked towards the company's elevator.
"Is the coffee in that house good?" Zhou Yuanzun was startled by this sudden question.
"Ah?" Also … "I'm fine." Wei Zhenyin's palms suddenly started to sweat. If not for the fact that Zhou Yuanzun's expression did not change, she would have thought that this cunning man had discovered some tricks?
"Then I'll buy two cups after work." Zhou Yuanzun stood straight in the elevator, intentionally or not, adjusting the angle of his right shirt with his left hand.
"Yes." Due to Wei Zhenyin's somewhat guilty conscience, sometimes, she felt that nothing could escape the eyes of this man. She had to admit that this man sometimes had many tricks up his sleeve.
The two of them stood in the elevator in a deadlock, without making any moves. The time the elevator took to rise seemed to be several times longer than before, at least in Wei Zhenyin's eyes, it was extremely hard to endure.
"Shouldn't Madame be holding her husband's arm at this time? It's a cold look that might be misunderstood by other employees, don't you think? " Zhou Yuanzun bent his arm into an arc, raised his eyebrows, and spoke with a deep meaning.
"Don't you know that this is an act?" Even though Wei Zhenyin was speaking, she could only mutter to herself softly, as her slender little hand still lightly stepped over. Separated by the suit, she could still feel the man's temperature, and the muscles on her forearm still had a sharp angle.
Due to the fact that the previous case was extremely successful, Wei Zhenyin had a lot of free time on her hands, and the morning passed in a flash. Wei Zhenyin was a little nervous, she didn't know what Song Wu's plans were for meeting her again. Or had he changed his mind? She was always eager for the unknown, especially now that every change in the plan was about the man.
"Ding dong." When there were still ten minutes until the time to get off work, Wei Zhenyin's WeChat suddenly rang, scaring her out of her deep thoughts.
"Do you want to have lunch together?"
It was sent by Zhou Yuanzun, it was simple and clear, without even an emoticon.
"No, I've made an appointment with someone else." In truth, she did not want Zhou Yuanzun to find out that she was co-existing with Song Wu at all. Of course, these were military secrets, and she did not want him to know about it.
"Yes." It was another extremely simple word, but this sentence allowed Wei Zhenyin to calm down. Sometimes, she felt that it was better for this man to treat her coldly, or at least, not to be so thorny in dealing with organizational matters. Of course, it was in a situation where this man didn't want to fall into a pit of darkness.
Sometimes, she even felt that she herself wasn't clear about what she was thinking, but her instincts told her that Zhou Yuanzun wasn't a bad person, and wasn't as heartless as the rumors claimed he was.
Wei Zhenyin who was indulging in his fantasies, dizzily arrived at the coffee shop downstairs.
"Little girl." That cello like voice sounded next to Wei Zhenyin's ear.
"Teacher, you've been waiting for me here for a long time, right?" Wei Zhenyin nodded as she opened the door and entered.
"What is the silly girl saying? Running this shop is also part of my job right now. Isn't it normal for me to wait here for you? " Song Wu patted Wei Zhenyin's shoulder, with a doting smile on her face.
Wei Zhenyin grinned, the smile on her face was exactly the same as when she was a student, it was simple, clean, and effective.
"Little girl, how's the situation over there?" Song Wu asked softly as he brought two cups of black coffee over from the coffee shop's counter.
"There's no progress either. I'm currently working hard to search for the Chow Group's evidence, but I feel that it's not that simple." Wei Zhenyin's petite face creased into a frown. Facing this teacher who completely believed in her, she thought that she could say what her intuition was. Although there was no evidence and only intuition, this trait was very funny for the police.
"Girl, why do you say that again? What made you brainwash? Don't forget your mission here. " Song Wu looked at Wei Zhenyin's confused eyes, and became more serious.
"No, Teacher, after a period of observation, all of this is reasonable and well-founded." Wei Zhenyin pursed her lips and said with determination.
"Little girl!" Seeing such a resolute expression on Wei Zhenyin's face, a trace of heartache and helplessness flashed past.
"Teacher, then tell me, what is the reason for our meeting this time?"
Based on his many years of understanding of Song Wu, looking at his extremely cautious expression, Wei Zhenyin knew that the situation wasn't looking good.
"Girl... "You've worked hard." Song Wu shook his head, wanting to say something.
"Teacher, when did you become so undecisive? What kind of mission can you tell me? I will definitely solve it within my ability." Wei Zhenyin sat upright, her back straightened, her expression serious, as though she had received an order.
"Ah Yin, it's not some kind of mission, I can tell you directly that the organization is already suspecting you, and someone is making sarcastic remarks about you, do you know? You and this Chow Group Leader are too close, so it's too late to say anything. I didn't accept your identity from the beginning, it was originally an extremely dangerous and unflattering mission … … "
"Teacher, what does the organization mean? You can tell me if I can take it. I don't need to use such a euphemistic way of speaking." Wei Zhenyin's hands, which were holding each other, trembled a little. She had already expected that today's news would definitely not be good news.
"The organization is extremely dissatisfied with you and Zhou Yuanzun getting so close together." Song Wu looked at Wei Zhenyin with even sharper brows than before.
"Why are you dissatisfied that I did all of this for the sake of completing the mission? This is obvious to all." Wei Zhenyin shook her head in disbelief, she did not believe that the organization would simply suspect him.
You're still too young, like that cunning fox Chow Group. His shrewdness is too deep, you are not his match at all. Song Wu ruthlessly punched the glass, and said with lament.
"No, teacher, it's not like what you think, listen to me, you must listen to my explanation, Zhou Yuanzun is not that kind of person, our previous investigation was wrong … …"
"Shut up, Ah Yin, do you know? You are not aware of your true self anymore. Even though you are being stubborn now, but touch your own heart, is your original intention for this investigation still there? Or is there some personal emotion mixed within? Can you explain it clearly yourself? " Song Wu said with a little bit of anger in his tone.
"There is no one that doesn't believe me, but teacher, you still don't believe me? I have been in the organization for so many years, and have solved so many cases. I know what I should do every step of the way, and we should have gone through so many difficulties. Wei Zhenyin fiercely bit her lower lip, with the intent to repress the tears in her eyes, she could not cry.
"Little girl, it's not that we don't believe you, but you're the one who's tempted. You don't even know this!" Song Wu's eyes were full of regret and pain.
"No, none of you understand me. They are not in my situation, so how do you know what I should do? "Teacher, I'll tell you very seriously, I'm not interested, and I'm not mixing personal matters with official affairs. I know my identity as a police officer!" Wei Zhenyin retorted in a low voice. Right now, her heart was throbbing in pain, a pain that was not to be trusted.
"Haven't you noticed that you've changed?" Seeing Wei Zhenyin's expression, Song Wu's heart suddenly felt empty, as if someone had dug a piece of his heart out.
