Smells

Chapter 16 1 All is well

When the meal was almost finished, Ding Zhaoqiu called Xiao Chen.

"Are you still there? I'm here."

Xiao Chen said: "We're almost done eating, aren't you busy? There's no need to come over, we'll be leaving right away."

Ding Zhaoqiu curled his lips into a smile: "You kidnapped everyone to my door, can I not come here to show my kindness as a landlord?"

Ding Zhaoqiu arrived at the private room 5 minutes later, he shook hands with Yu Ying: "Meet you again, Mr. Yu."

"Just call me Yu Ying."

Ding Zhaoqiu asked the waiter to add a chair, and when he saw Xiao Chen sitting next to Yu Ying, he smiled inexplicably: "You two are quite close, aren't you? They're still sitting next to each other."

Xiao Chen scooped up a small bowl of Wensi tofu with a spoon, took a sip, and said, "It's because the layout of your table and chairs is unreasonable. There are only two chairs on such a big table, and they are placed next to each other. I can hardly talk to Yu Ying." You have to shout."

"Okay, don't be picky, there is only this big private room left today, and I pushed a table of people I know to keep it. Don't push me too hard." Ding Zhaoqiu took out a cigarette and asked Yu Ying: "I smoke a cigarette, don't you mind?"

Yu Ying shook her head: "I don't mind."

Xiao Chen minded: "Don't smoke while eating."

Ding Zhaoqiu said "Hey": "You used to smoke less when eating with me? Why is this double standard?"

Ding Zhaoqiu ignored him, lit his cigarette and took a puff.

Xiao Chen knew that Yu Ying smoked, but he didn't know if he would mind the smell of smoke while eating. He did double standards, because he never considered these things when eating with Ding Zhaoqiu.

"Is the taste of the food okay?" Ding Zhaoqiu asked Yu Ying.

"It's delicious." Yu Ying got up, ready to pay the bill, "Where is the bill?"

"The meal payment has already been settled." Ding Zhaoqiu pouted his chin at Xiao Chen, "His account has been paid."

Yu Ying frowned: "This is not appropriate." In addition to the previous ones, he has already eaten two meals for nothing.

"Please come back next time." Xiao Chen said, holding up two fingers, "Two meals."

Yu Ying smiled: "Okay."

Ding Zhaoqiu took out his mobile phone and secretly sent Xiao Chen a WeChat message.Xiao Chen's phone vibrated, and he picked it up to take a look.

Ding Zhaoqiu: You are scheming, I think you paid the bill first on purpose, right?

Xiao Chen's expression was normal, he bowed his head and typed: it was on purpose, why?

Ding Zhaoqiu: [Strong]

Xiao Chen continued to drink Wensi tofu soup, turned his head and found that Ding Zhaoqiu was still looking down at his phone, with a strange expression on his face.

Ding Zhaoqiu frowned more and more tightly, with a preoccupied look, Xiao Chen put down the soup bowl and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ding Zhaoqiu stood up: "I have something to do, let's go first, you take your time."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, Xiao Chen chased him out and called him: "What happened?"

"Something happened to Fang Shule. I'll go over and have a look. I won't accompany you." Ding Zhaoqiu quickly disappeared at the end of the path.

Fang Shule had an accident, most of the rumors could be heard on the Internet, Xiao Chen clicked on Weibo, intending to search for his name, but when he clicked on the trending search, he saw #方书乐毒药# was listed at the top of the list.

Xiao Chen frowned.

"What's wrong?" Yu Ying saw that his expression was wrong, "What happened?"

"Something happened to his ex-boyfriend." Xiao Chen's tone was very calm, but his face was not very good-looking.

Yu Ying didn't ask much, and didn't want to inquire about his privacy, but Xiao Chen didn't treat him as an outsider, and told him about Ding Zhaoqiu very naturally.

After hearing what happened, Xiao Chen noticed that Yu Ying's face became a little gloomy. The two realized that now, it was the first time he saw Yu Ying showing such an expression——

There was a layer of haze between the brows and eyes, and the eyes were dim.

"Is he really taking drugs?" Yu Ying asked.

"I don't know." Xiao Chen looked at him, "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Ying licked her dry lips: "It's nothing."

Xiao Chen stared at Yu Ying for a moment, and Yu Ying looked at him with a smile on his lips: "What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like a prisoner?"

Xiao Chen didn't say anything, but lowered his head and flicked his phone: "The entertainment circle is true or false, I see a lot of comments saying it's just rumors."

"I hope so." Yu Ying said lightly.

Otherwise, Ding Zhaoqiu's vision of seeing people is really bad.

They left the restaurant not long after. Xiao Chen found that since talking about Ding Zhaoqiu, Yu Ying's mood has been not quite right. Although there is no change on the surface, Xiao Chen can feel the depression hidden under the surface air pressure.

"Let me drive." Xiao Chen said, "Let me try your cool car, okay?"

Yu Ying handed him the car keys: "Of course."

Xiao Chen opened the door and got into the car, and asked curiously, "Why did you buy this kind of car?"

"What's wrong?" Yu Ying smiled, "Inappropriate?"

"No." Xiao Chen started the car, but felt that the car was a bit wasteful to drive on flat ground and consumed too much fuel, so he said, "It's very suitable."

It's noon now, and this weekend, I still have a lot of time to spend with Yu Ying in the afternoon, but Xiao Chen decided to go home and rest.The current situation has not reached that level yet, the stickiness is too tight, it is not suitable.

"By the way." Yu Ying suddenly remembered something, "Brother, the tour organized by your company is going to Tibet, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded, "Ah, speaking of this, you reminded me, I have already handed in the form of intent to you, and we will leave on the 3rd of next month, eight days."

Yu Ying counted the days: "In three weeks?"

"Well, remember to prepare in advance."

"Do we have to apply for a border permit in advance?" Yu Ying asked.

"Huh? Border permit?"

"Your company didn't say that? Some cities require border permits to pass. If you go to more cities, you need this."

Xiao Chen hissed: "I'm not sure, it seems like I didn't mention it, I'll check the group when the time comes."

"It's okay, just find time on a working day and go to the police station to do it. It will be done soon."

"Okay, I'll go this Monday."

"Brother Chen, you don't seem to be very busy recently."

"I'm not busy." Xiao Chen turned the steering wheel and turned into the intersection, "The project is over, I can take a good rest."

"Good."

Xiao Chen stopped the car at the entrance of the community, and he got out of the car. Yu Ying opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, saying goodbye to him with her hand on the window sill.

"Pay attention to rest." Yu Ying said, he glanced down at Xiao Chen's beige trench coat, and praised without hesitation: "You are really handsome today."

Xiao Chen slightly hooked the lower corner of his lips: "Be careful on the road."

After returning home, Xiao Chen called Ding Zhaoqiu and asked him about the situation.

"What's the matter? Is he really on drugs?"

"No, how is it possible." Ding Zhaoqiu's tone was weak, "If he is that kind of person, then I really want to poke my eyes out."

"Do you believe him yourself, or is there evidence to prove that he didn't use drugs?"

"I believe him, and I have evidence." Ding Zhaoqiu said firmly, "It's impossible for him to do that kind of thing!"

"So what's going on?"

"I've been bullied." Ding Zhaoqiu took a sharp puff of cigarette, "I've already asked someone to adjust the surveillance."

Fang Shule happened in a bar. Most of the social activities in the entertainment industry are out of control. Fang Shule is a very responsible person in his heart. Friends in the circle persuaded him to go to the bar. He handed him a cigarette. Coincidentally, when he was having fun, a policeman rushed in from outside the door. It was said that he had received a report from the masses that this bar allowed others to take drugs.

The cigarette was caught between Fang Shule's fingers, sparking. Fang Shule's friend helped him light it. Later, the police took it back and tested it and found that it contained drugs.

"He doesn't know how to smoke at all." Ding Zhaoqiu gritted his teeth and said.

After Fang Shule and those who were traveling with them were taken back to the police station by the police, they were immediately detained, waiting to be sent for testing.Originally, this incident would not have made news, but it happened that "enthusiastic people" took photos and recorded videos and posted it on the Internet. Before the police's handling results came out, there was an uproar, and black material was flying all over the sky.

Fang Shule's manager told Ding Zhaoqiu all these.

"Where are you now?" Xiao Chen asked him.

"The Public Security Bureau." Ding Zhaoqiu threw the cigarette butts into the trash can at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, and walked in with his pockets in his pocket. "Look for my dad's friend, and ask him to help find someone."

Ding Zhaoqiu's father knew the high-level officials in the sub-bureau, and it was not difficult to find someone through the internal network of the public security system.

"Looking for the person who handed him cigarettes?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Well, I saw him in the surveillance, and the grandson passed the cigarette and he disappeared. I asked the people in the bar and they didn't know what it was." Ding Zhaoqiu said coldly, "If you don't get that person out, Fang Shule will be ashamed no matter what. It's black, and there will still be a steady stream of people running out to plot against him in the future."

Ding Zhaoqiu called killing one to warn others, and he wanted to use that person to warn all those around Fang Shule who had malicious intentions.

"You can wait for the police to deal with it, they will find out sooner or later—"

"By the time they find out about that person, Fang Shule will be blackened into coal, and even if that person is found out, it won't cause much trouble if he is handed over to the police. At most, he will be released after a few days of detention. I I have my own way of dealing with it."

Xiao Chen couldn't help wondering: "You got back together with him?"

"No, I've already said that I don't turn back."

"Then it's illegal for you to help him like this and borrow your father's favor for him?"

"The behavior is against the rules, but the purpose is justice." Ding Zhaoqiu raised his eyebrows, and he spoke righteously, he sighed: "This is the last time to help him, and there will be nothing to do with it in the future."

It is embarrassing to say that the only time Ding Zhaoqiu used his power to facilitate Fang Shule was when they parted ways completely.

Xiao Chen couldn't help asking: "You really don't like him at all?"

"I like it." Ding Zhaoqiu said without hesitation, "But it's really not fate, the two of us can't get better together, we can't make it to the end."

"Then you are not uncomfortable?"

"For the time being, I will gradually dislike it in the future. I'm not that affectionate."

Xiao Chen remained silent.

"I wish him all the best in the future." Ding Zhaoqiu knocked on the office door, and said in a low voice, "I'm hanging up, I have to see the leader."

"Ah."

everything is fine.

Ding Zhaoqiu said this in a sincere and deep tone, Xiao Chen was a little sad, but he also understood.

People who like each other don't have to be together, this is his concept of love.

It was Monday in a blink of an eye, when Xiao Chen and Yu Ying made an appointment to go to the police station to apply for a border permit. Xiao Chen looked through the group chats before, only to find that the matter of applying for a border permit had already been mentioned in the group, but he didn’t read the group much. So I didn't pay attention.

Xiao Chen and Yu Ying went to the police station in this area. When the guard was registering, the uncle gate guard shouted at Yu Ying: "Oh, don't I look foolish?"

"Uncle, are you okay?"

"It's alright, it tastes delicious, why are you here today?"

"Come to apply for a border permit."

Xiao Chen was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "You know me?"

Yu Ying hummed: "I know."

To apply for a border permit, you need to go to the back office. Without asking for directions, Yu Ying led Xiao Chen up to the second floor and found the back office.

Xiao Chen became more and more puzzled until he knocked on the door and entered the room and heard a loud female voice: "Police Yu?! Why are you here?!"

Xiao Chen was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to see the policewoman closest to the door standing up, looking at Yu Ying with surprise.

Yu Ying nodded with a smile: "Long time no see, Xiaoqiu."

There were four other female auxiliary police officers sitting in the office, and when they saw this, they all stood up and shouted "Police Yu" in a hurry.

Yu Ying waved at them: "Long time no see."

The office was full of lesbians, and the excitement on their faces was beyond words. In stark contrast to them was Xiao Chen who stood stunned by the side.

"You, you used to be a policeman?" Xiao Chen's voice was hoarse, and he coughed.

"Yes." Yu Ying turned her head, her eyes were concerned, "Why is your voice so hoarse? Are you uncomfortable?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "No." He raised his head and his eyes fell on Yu Ying's handsome face.

Sure enough, the temperament is not deceiving.

"I've already imagined it." Xiao Chen said.

"Ok?"

Xiao Chen bent his lips: "You look like you're wearing a police uniform."
