Balancing

Chapter 21

In the early morning, the city woke up in the bright sunshine. Li Wei was sitting in the office eating the breakfast brought by his home as usual. He wondered that Lu Heng, who was sitting at another desk in front of him, was also eating breakfast. It's really the sun coming out from the west. It's rare that Uncle Lu didn't arrive late and he even prepared his own breakfast. It's really surprising. Li Wei watched him eating the delicious egg sandwich, and silently stuffed the extra flower rolls he brought for him. mouth.

Once you get used to doing some things, you don't have to do them suddenly, and you still feel a little lost. At this time, Li Wei is experiencing it.

"Hey, didn't you buy something for breakfast? Why did you eat so high today?" he asked while chewing on the rolls.

"Here, I made one for you too, but you should be full." Lu Heng looked up at Li Wei, and threw a bag to him casually.

"Haha, I still have my share?" Li Wei hurriedly threw the unfinished half of the flower rolls into the trash can under the table, opened the bag Lu Heng gave him, and took out the ones that were not very pretty, but delicious. The nutritious egg sandwich was eaten. "You say you did this?"

"Well, I made it, it's okay." Lu Heng smiled, recalling the instant breakfast he taught himself to make when he was chatting with Jian Ming last night, his face was full of spring.

"You know how to make sandwiches? Hey, that's really rare. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have brought them to you all the time. I should have encouraged you to support yourself."

"It's the first time I made it today, does it still taste good?" Lu Heng squinted at him with a smile, as if preparing to receive a compliment.

Li Wei took another bite hard, frowned slightly and said vaguely: "There is no meat, almost, at least a piece of ham, my sister is lazy now, the sandwiches she made in the past are so memorable." , I haven’t eaten for a long time..." Li Wei accidentally saw Lu Heng's discolored face, and hurriedly changed his mouth, "Um... But if it's the first time you cook it, it's so delicious, you're really talented. Haha..."

"Fuck off, give me back if you don't eat, it's not because of the breakfast you've contributed to me for so many years, do you think I'll be able to make it myself?" Lu Heng didn't believe that he was perfunctory without sincerity, remembering that Jian Ming had never eaten before Yes, as I said that, I wanted to grab it.

Li Wei jumped up cunningly, took a sandwich to the door for a walk, and joked as he ran: "How can you say that people in love are cute? You should learn how to do it earlier. How can I not witness this shocking reversal?" , haha..." As he ran farther and farther, the laughter became longer and longer, echoing in the long and narrow corridor.

in love? ...hope soon.The corner of Lu Heng's mouth raised an expectant smile.

In the morning, Lu Heng checked the time at least ten times, thinking that he could see Jian Ming again in the afternoon, he was very happy from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't expect to receive a call from his uncle Guo Tao at noon, asking him to ask for leave in the afternoon and go to the special police brigade to find him. he.

"Uncle, I have an appointment this afternoon, what's the matter?" Lu Heng's voice on the phone was reluctant.

"Hey, I said brat, you always blame me for asking you to come less often, why, let you come today, and give me back Joe? Love to come or not, I wanted to talk to you about practicing guns .” Gu Tao resorted to his trump card.

"Ah, go, I'll go. What time do you want me to arrive in the afternoon?" Lu Heng jumped up from his chair excitedly.This is a big deal, he couldn't care less about other things, he wanted to rush over now in a hurry.

"Two o'clock, my office."

"Hey, be there on time."

At Baichuan Consulting Office, Jian Ming was busy with the work at hand, turned off the computer screen, and checked the time. It was already past lunch time, so he stood up and walked out the door. When he came to the front desk, he saw Chen Fei looking down at his phone.

"Chen Fei, Dr. Lu didn't come today?" Dr. Lu is also a psychiatrist in the clinic. Because he is also a teacher at the school, he usually works in the clinic, and he doesn't come often without appointments. He has never seen him since he started working in the clinic. several times.

Chen Fei raised her head immediately when she heard the voice.

"Oh, Dr. Lu has no patients today, so he didn't come here." Chen Fei stood up. Jian Ming rarely left the office in the clinic, let alone talked to himself. She was a little flattered.

"Then when will he come next time? Tell me. It's been so long and I haven't had a chance to say hello. Why don't you organize it and find a time when the three of us get together. I'll treat you to dinner." Jian Ming I feel like this should have been done sooner.

"Hehe, okay, let me ask Dr. Lu about the time." Chen Fei responded with a smile. She had long wanted to have the opportunity to get in touch with Jian Ming, but the other party was naturally aloof and couldn't find any excuse to get closer. Today, she took the initiative to invite Jian Ming. Chen Fei felt that he was so handsome that he was much more approachable.

Jian Ming then asked: "Well, by the way, do you have a phone number for food delivery nearby? I'm a little busy today, so I don't want to go out and buy."

"Ah, what does Dr. Jane want to eat? I can order it on the software, and now all orders are placed online directly."

Chen Fei enthusiastically took out her mobile phone, opened the ordering software and showed it to Jian Ming, asking him to choose.While introducing the convenience of this software, after a while, not only ordered Jian Ming's meal, but also downloaded the same meal ordering software to his mobile phone.The small eyes accidentally glanced at the WeChat in his mobile phone, and with a sly flash of eyes, he skillfully asked him to add himself.

After Jian Ming expressed his thanks, he turned around and wanted to go back to the office when Lu Heng called. He hurriedly said that he had something urgent to go to the special police brigade in the afternoon, and he might not be able to make it at three o'clock. He hoped that he could wait for him.

Jian Ming smiled, he knew a thing or two about Lu Heng going to the special police brigade in his heart, and he didn't say anything. He agreed without asking, but he didn't promise to wait for him.

"Go and do your business first. I have other arrangements in the afternoon, so I won't wait for you. Let's make another appointment."

"Appointment again?...What about that night?" Lu Heng still doesn't give up, what should we do again?This is an appointment until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

"I'm off work tonight, Officer Lu."

"Will you work overtime for me? The treatment can't be delayed." Lu Heng didn't want to rush to the treatment. Everyone in the world knew Sima Zhao's heart.

"Go and do your work first, let's talk about it later." Jian Ming really wanted to do some things of his own at night. He had applied for a fitness card last week and hadn't been there yet.

"I'll call you after I'm done. I've finished washing your clothes, and I'll return them to you. That's the deal." After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone with a snap.Jian Ming looked at the phone speechlessly, then shook his head speechlessly.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Heng came to Gu Tao's office on time, saw Gu Tao sitting on the sofa chatting with Tian Kun, the No.

"Oh, Lu Heng is here. Come, come and sit, just to introduce you." Gu Tao saw Lu Heng standing at the door in a daze, and hurriedly asked him to sit there too.

Following Gu Tao's gaze, Tian Kun also saw Lu Heng dressed in black. He raised his eyebrows and stared carefully at the person who had been imprinted in his memory for three years. After Sun Zhehao's sacrifice, the name Lu Heng was like a nail. Being firmly nailed in his mind, he subconsciously clenched his fists, without expressing any emotion, he got up and greeted politely.

"Hello, Senior Lu."

"Senior? Are you alumni?" Gu Tao was quite surprised.

Tian Kun smiled and took over the words: "Yes, senior Lu Heng is the benchmark for the police academy's annual assessment period, and the instructors set us up to learn from."

"Oh, really? Haha." Gu Tao couldn't help feeling proud of his little nephew again. "Lu Heng, let me introduce you. This is Tian Kun, a strong soldier who was just transferred from Guangzhou the year before last. He was No. 1 in the Saturday sniper match. Remember? He is about to become a sniper at a young age. He has the same relationship as you back then. It’s a comparison.” Gu Tao really appreciates these talented young people, this era is too vain, and there are not many young people who can wholeheartedly devote themselves to the country with a pure heart , Gu Tao cherished them from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course I remember." Lu Heng looked at Gu Tao, then turned to Tian Kun and stretched out his hand, "Hello, junior."

"Great, you are alumni, you need to get in touch with each other more in the future." Gu Tao was very comforted when he saw that Lu Heng began to accept strangers generously. Not to mention three years ago, even a year ago, he did the same. No, really, as Jian Ming said, he may look like an ordinary person from the outside.

"Yes, I still have to learn a lot from Senior Lu..." Tian Kun had a smile on his face, but he was secretly struggling to shake Lu Heng's hand back, with astonishing strength.

Lu Heng, we meet again, you don't need to know me, but do you still remember Sun Zhehao?Do you dare to remember him?

An obscure light shot out from Tian Kun's eyes, and Lu Heng wondered if he had read it wrong. Why did he feel that this person...was not very kind to him?It hurts a bit from being held, and just about to pull it back, the other party let go of his hand, still politely said with a smile: "Captain Gu, you guys talk, I'm going out first."

"Okay, okay, you are going to play these days, and you will return to the team next week as a sniper." Gu Tao didn't notice the undercurrents under his nose at all.

When Tian Kun left, he tactfully closed the door for them.

"Captain Gu, why did this Tian Kun transfer to our team? Guangzhou is much better than ours." Lu Heng still couldn't let go of his doubts just now.

"Oh, I'm not too clear about this. I was quite surprised at the transfer order directly issued by the province. I also asked if the kid made some small mistakes in the original team and deliberately changed places for transition. I didn't expect Not only did he not commit any crimes, but he has been the vanguard of the team since he was a special police officer, and he has been involved in two major cases in the first year of his service, he is really a rare good seed." Gu Tao felt that no matter what the reason, It is a great thing to have such a warrior join their camp.

"That's it, haha, it's a good thing we're just special police, or I really think he's an undercover agent sneaking into the police to play Infernal Affairs." With means and huge background support, Infernal Affairs is not just a plot in a movie.Fortunately, the special police team is usually not responsible for direct investigation of major cases, but for dispatching various particularly dangerous tasks, so criminals really don't choose them if they want to play Infernal Affairs.

"Why do you think so? Tian Kun is a very righteous young man." Hearing his description, Gu Tao couldn't laugh or cry.

Lu Heng doesn't like gossip behind his back. Although it feels weird, he still doesn't want to tell Gu Tao that something is wrong before he knows it. "It's nothing, just kidding. By the way, Captain Gu, what you said last time...?" He came here full of joy to apply for returning to the team, but before that, he knew there was still a hurdle to pass .

"Well, I thought about it, and I also asked Coach Jane, we will give you a chance to shoot, but if you still can't do it this time, you can give me a solid treatment, and don't mention this matter again, do you agree?"

Gu Tao is actually not very old, he is only in his 40s, but he has lived in the military camp for many years, and he has always relied on his body to be on the front line of danger. Delicate facial features and full of uninhibited tough guy.Especially the straight and high bridge of the nose, which looks exactly like Lu Heng's mother.Lu Heng is always used to looking for his mother's shadow on Gu Tao's face.

At this moment, his serious expression is very authoritative.

"Agree!" Even if there is only one chance, Lu Heng doesn't want to miss it, he has waited too long...

"Okay, then this Saturday, in the afternoon, at this time, I also made an appointment with Jane for counseling, and he will come too."

Lu Heng's eyes lit up, "When did you call?" Lu Heng was very interested in everything related to Jian Ming.

"I didn't talk on the phone. He came to sit with me yesterday." Gu Tao wondered that Lu Heng's focus seemed to be a bit off.

"What, you two met yesterday?" Well, Jian Ming, you didn't reveal anything about it yesterday, no wonder you called him today to ask for leave, and he didn't even ask the reason, it's really tight-lipped.

"Yeah, what's the matter with you? Is Saturday okay?" Gu Tao took out a cigarette and threw one to Lu Heng.

"Okay, I'm fine." Lu Heng took the cigarette, lit it, and spat out skillfully.

Maybe it was Jian Ming's words yesterday that shocked Gu Tao a lot. This time, he stayed with Lu Heng for a rare long chat, from when Lu Heng was a child to going to the police academy and becoming a special police officer.Gu Tao wanted to talk about Lu Heng's mother several times, but he still diverted it to other topics. Gu Tao knew that this was his forbidden area. Even if he was an uncle, he would talk about it openly. He doesn't want to face it.

When he walked out of the office, it was almost time to get off work. Gu Tao wanted Lu Heng to go home with him for dinner, but Lu Heng refused. Thinking of the look in his aunt's eyes when he left last time, he retreated in his heart. Besides, Jian Ming was still there. Wait for yourself, this is the biggest reason.

Gu Tao didn't force it, but just asked him to come to have a meal every week. Lu Heng wanted to meet Jian Ming quickly, so he nodded and agreed.Just as he walked out of the gate of the SWAT team, Lu Heng was about to take out his mobile phone to make a call when Tian Kun's voice sounded behind him.

"I said, Senior Lu, I really envy you. You are living a very comfortable life with the salary of the special police and the idle food of the logistics department."

If Lu Heng still can't hear such teasing provocation, then he is really not stupid, but cowardly.

He turned around and raised his eyebrows, staring at Tian Kun, "Tian Kun, I don't remember that we had an intersection, or did I accidentally offend you? What the hell do you mean by beating around the bush?"

"Hey, you have a bad temper, yes, this is you, the gas tank is on at one point." Tian Kun's mouth was not forgiving at all, as if he was trying to irritate the other party.

"You're a man, so just speak out, don't be a motherfucker, how did I recruit you?" Considering that this is his uncle's territory, Lu Heng still had some scruples.But if Tian Kun said that again in the next sentence, he couldn't guarantee whether he could control himself or not.

Tian Kun's lips curled up, revealing a strange expression of hatred and sarcasm.

"You owe me your life, Sun Zhehao's life."
