Tang Xi returned to her terrace like a thief, tiptoedly opened the glass door and entered the room, and then let out a sigh of relief.
However, she couldn't help laughing as she closed the door and pulled the curtains behind her back.
When I was in Zongmen before, it wasn't that I didn't get up in the middle of the night to sneak out to play. After being discovered by the master, I scolded and checked whether I was injured. It seemed to overlap with the scene in front of me.
At the beginning, I just wanted to find a nominal guardian who could survive for a year, but I didn't expect to have a family member, which is actually not bad.
"Woo." The phone vibrated briefly. A few seconds later, another click.
Tang Xi was taken aback for a moment, looked down, and smiled helplessly.
Chu Li: Hurry up and sleep!
Pei Qingzhi: Good night.
These two people... Tang Xi sighed, and threw the phone on the bedside.
sleep!
The next day was Saturday, and when she woke up after nine o'clock, Chu Li had already gone to the Municipal Bureau.
"Yun Qi, what gifts do you think people like Professor Jiang like?" Tang Xi asked while lying on a deck chair on the terrace basking in the sun.
"Antique?" Yun Qi didn't think much about it.
"It's true, but I'm still a student, so even if I give him an antique, he won't accept it." Tang Xi sighed.
Yun Qi thought for a while, then turned around and went to the study to get some things out, and spread them out on the small table, which turned out to be pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
"You asked me to draw it myself?" Tang Xi asked in surprise.
"Your calligraphy is better than painting. Writing a picture by yourself is just right." Yun Qi said.
"It's been a long time since I practiced calligraphy." Tang Xi stood up enthusiastically, took off her coat and threw it on the recliner.
Yun Qi helped her study ink.
Tang Xi thought for a while, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up the brush.
She grew up in the Zongmen, and she is more proficient in writing with a brush than with a pen.
"It's rare that I haven't written for so long, but I have made progress." Yun Qi raised his eyebrows.
"Well, probably because I have experienced a lot in the past two years." Because it is a calligraphy and painting, Tang Xi signed the contract with her real name "Tang Lingxi", and then wrote the date.
Her master taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was young, but later Yunqi taught her. Except for her piano learning is a mess, the other three are pretty good, especially her calligraphy.
"I'll send it to be framed later, and I can pick it up tomorrow afternoon." Tang Xi nodded with satisfaction.
She wrote "Spring Snow in the Garden" written by the chairman. The majestic words are very suitable for her best one-handed cursive, but it is difficult to see that this is a young girl's words.
"Actually, I prefer the phrase 'There is no need to bury the bones in the hometown, there are green hills everywhere in life'. Unfortunately, for Professor Jiang who has been working under the ancient tomb all year round, it is a bit unlucky." Tang Xi regretted.
"..." Yun Qi couldn't laugh or cry.
Tang Xi went back to her room and changed her clothes, just as the ink was dry.
She carefully rolled up the rice paper, told Aunt Zhang, and drove out.
After walking around, I found a calligraphy and painting shop, agreed to pick up the paintings tomorrow afternoon, and then went to the Municipal Bureau.
Nothing happened, just went to the logistics department, asked the girl on duty to ask for a set of law enforcement equipment, and connected it to the mobile phone.
You never know when it will come in handy!
I looked at the time and it was already lunch time.
Tang Xi originally wanted to go directly to the cafeteria to solve the problem, but just received a text message from Gu Ran. After thinking about it, she drove over to the Pei dormitory.
On the side of the road, Gu Ran was wearing a hooded sweater with his hat pulled up, and he was carrying a guitar bag on his shoulder. He looked like a young man playing music, but everyone knew that the guitar bag must contain a knife .
After opening the door and getting into the car, he put his bag under his feet, pulled off his hat, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Why, it's like being a thief." Tang Xi gave him a white look.
"Isn't it your fault?" Gu Ran complained, "It was fine at first, but since I watched that video with you, I think everyone looks like a traitor."
"Pfft—" Tang Xi couldn't help laughing.
"However, having said that, I'm really going to be irritable these two days." Gu Ran continued, "Obviously everyone is the same as usual, but I look like everything is wrong."
"Young man, you lack the beatings of society." Tang Xi said seriously.
"Huh?" Gu Ran raised his eyebrows.
"Robbery! Someone is robbing the bag!" At this moment, a sharp shout came from behind.
Tang Xi looked back and saw a bloated middle-aged woman running along the sidewalk beside the road in high heels. A dozen meters ahead of her, a man wearing a leather jacket and a helmet rode an electric scooter nimbly. In the driveway, one hand was holding a red lady's shoulder bag.
Seeing this, Gu Ran wanted to get out of the car.
"Why, you still want to use your two legs to compare your running speed with the battery car?" Tang Xi sneered and stepped on the accelerator.
It was lunch time at noon, and there were few cars and people on the road. The battery car twisted its body, deviated from the sidewalk, and ran into the middle of the road, and it was about to drive away.
Tang Xi's Lamborghini easily caught up with the speed of the battery car, slammed the steering wheel, got stuck in front of the battery car, and then unexpectedly opened the door.
"Boom!" The battery car was slammed by the door and flew out, sliding sideways for two or three meters.
However, Tang Xi counted the strength accurately, and the rider was wearing a helmet, so the fall was not too heavy. He struggled to get up from under the overturned battery car, rolled and crawled across the road and fled to the other side.
Almost at the same time, Gu Ran also opened the co-pilot's door. Perhaps because he thought it would take time to get around to the other side of the car, he borrowed strength from the top of the car door with one hand, and the whole person simply climbed onto the roof of the car, ran up, and jumped off again. With the condescending impact, the volley crossed a distance of four or five meters, landed behind the rider, reached out and grabbed the hem of the jacket.
"Boom!" Before the rider could react, his arms were cut behind his back, and he lay heavily on the ground.
The onlookers were stunned for a while before they burst into applause, mixed with whistles.
Gu Ran put his knee against the rider's back so that he couldn't struggle, pulled off the lady's handbag with one hand, and handed it to the middle-aged woman who ran over panting: "Your?"
"Yes, yes, it's mine, thank you, young man." The middle-aged woman hugged the bag with a grateful expression on her face.
Only then did Tang Xi slowly get out of the car and walk over, throwing a pair of handcuffs over.
Gu Ran took the handcuffs and handcuffed him, stood up, and patted the ashes on his pants: "You really have everything in your bag."
"Do you want to come to the Serious Crime Squad? Handcuffs, just play with them." Tang Xi smiled.
"Come on, Wang Ling is going crazy." Gu Ran shuddered.
The sound of the siren was getting closer, and soon, a patrol car drove over: "Who called 110?"
Then, seeing the manacled rider and the scene of the car accident, he felt dumbfounded, and said after a while, "Who caught it?"
"We." Tang Xi raised her hand obediently.
"You... driving a Lamborghini to catch thieves?" The patrolman looked surprised.
"There is no causal relationship between my being rich and my being brave, right?" Tang Xi tilted her head.
"That's right." The immature patrolman, who was obviously still an intern, suddenly realized and touched the back of his head.
Tang Xi couldn't help laughing again, and took out her ID card: "Tang Xi from the Municipal Bureau of Serious Crimes, that's my colleague. He heard someone calling for a thief during his vacation, so he caught him. The report will be sent to you later."
"Ah, so it's a comrade from the Municipal Bureau!" The patrolman froze for a moment, and quickly saluted.
"Thank you." Tang Xi waved his hand and got into the car.
Gu Ran got into the car a long time ago, hiding his achievements and fame.
"Speaking of which, next time I will ask the logistics for a few more sets of handcuffs, and I will use them up every time I go out." Tang Xi sighed and stepped on the gas pedal, reversed the car, and returned to the main driveway.
As for the hapless robber, the victim and the onlookers will testify and take notes.
"Tell me, what can you do with me?" Tang Xi said.
"Drive your car and find a place to eat." Gu Ran replied.
"Okay." Tang Xi was really hungry, so she turned into an old road and found a parking space on the side of the road.
What they were looking for was a simple buffet-style restaurant. The two of them went in, took the plate, quickly picked out a few dishes they liked, and sat in a corner with few people.
"Here." Gu Ran opened the guitar bag first, took out an envelope and threw it over.
"What?" Tang Xi opened it curiously, turned the envelope upside down and shook it.
Suddenly, a small black button-shaped object fell into the palm of his hand.
Of course, as far as the small but heavy weight is concerned, this is definitely not an ordinary button.
"I saw the miniature body-enforcement device of your serious crime team before I realized something was wrong." Gu Ran said vaguely with food in his mouth.
"This is... a wiretap, right?" Tang Xi played with it for a while before saying, "However, I'll have to take it home and check the specific functions and model history."
"I know that we need to investigate this, or your serious crime team has connections." That's what Gu Ran meant.
"Where did you find it?" Tang Xi asked, stuffing the listening device into her bag.
"My house." Gu Ran rolled her eyes.
"What?" Tang Xi was stunned.
"I used the method taught by your Chu team to use the mobile phone signal to search for interference, and I found out that there is a bug in my house." Gu Ran said with a serious face.
"You will be bugged and not know?" Tang Xi was speechless.
"I don't know much about this kind of high technology, besides..." Gu Ran looked at her angrily, "Who knows when this thing was installed, maybe it was before I moved in, or maybe it was the last time I told you If you are not at home for two days in southern Xinjiang, anyone can come in and pretend to be grand!"
"However, there is an enchantment in your dormitory, and outsiders can't get in. Sure enough, there are still traitors." Tang Xi said.
"But if there are bugs, it is not ruled out that there are other places in the dormitory, so the mole may not necessarily be among the people present that day." Gu Ran said with a headache.
"But you can't search the entire dormitory directly." Tang Xi pointed out.
"So, what do you think?" Gu Ran asked.
"Hmm..." Tang Xi bit her chopsticks and fell into deep thought, before saying after a long time, "It's not that there is no way, but it's more harmful."
"Huh?" Gu Ran was puzzled.
"Next week." Tang Xi did not continue the topic, but said, "I will go to Chu Li to find out where the bugs came from, and then see if there is any other way - after all, even if you remove all the people and let you search , you can't find a button bug|device in a building so blind."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Call me if you have a solution." Gu Ran said, and couldn't help but sigh, "Speaking of it, it's better to be in southern Xinjiang. There are so many messes. The water in the south of the Yangtze River is also Too muddy, not happy."
"Do you want to go back?" Tang Xi asked.
"Well... let's be safe if you come." Gu Ran thought for a while, then shrugged, "I'm already on a pirate ship, and running away halfway is not my style."
"Then I'm ready to inform you." Tang Xi stood up.
"..." Gu Ran was dumbfounded looking at the empty plate on the opposite side.
I obviously didn't see you gobbling it up, where did all your food go
"Let's go." Tang Xi waved his hand, still turning the car key with his fingertips.
The next day was the weekend, Tang Xi left the wiretapping|device matter to Chu Li to investigate without any burden, and went out with her bag on her back.
Since she made an appointment with Pei Qingzhi, she didn't drive by herself. In order to meet Professor Jiang's preferences, she chose a light gray cashmere dress, leggings, lambskin boots, a white cashmere coat, long hair loose, and a beret from the same series as the dress. , plus an orange silk scarf embellishment, delicate and elegant.
"I heard that Professor Jiang wants to accept closed disciples." Pei Qingzhi said.
Tang Xi couldn't help laughing: "It's not me anyway, I'm actually not interested in archeology."
"I thought that you actually liked things with historical background." Pei Qingzhi said.
"I like it if I like it, but it's enough to appreciate it." Tang Xi sighed, "To be honest, I don't have much patience. For example, in order not to damage the cultural relics underground, a pit needs to be carefully dug with a small shovel for a long time. I, impatiently, went down with a Thunder Curse and blasted the soil layer."
"What are you going to do after graduation?" Pei Qingzhi asked, "You probably don't want to open your own firm and accept commissions."
"It's hard to say." Tang Xi said with a relaxed face, "It's still early, it's not too late to think about it. Besides, it's not a big deal even if you don't have a job on the surface."
"As long as you don't mind... By the way, I have something to tell you." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Say."
"My aunt's family is back." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Last time you said that the old man let them go for the New Year, but why so early? Don't Li Qingxue and her brother need to go to school?" Tang Xi asked in surprise.
"It's summer vacation in Australia now." Pei Qingzhi was even more surprised.
"I forgot." Tang Xi supported his forehead.
"Here we are, it's just ahead." Pei Qingzhi turned the car into a small road, but when he turned his eyes, he frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xi noticed the change in his breath.
"No, I just happened to see a car I know." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Since it's the store you introduced, it must be very famous. Pei's Christmas ball is coming soon, so it's not surprising to meet a few famous ladies." Tang Xi didn't take it seriously, and joked, "Could it be Mr. Pei's former rotten love? "
"There is no such thing." Pei Qingzhi glanced at her calmly.
"Then why are you frowning?" Tang Xi jumped out of the car and looked up at the somewhat old signboard. It was actually handwritten. It should be a century-old shop.
"Last time when you didn't come, you said you wouldn't sell manuscripts. The master who made Hanfu for you has wanted to see you for a long time." Pei Qingzhi smiled.
"Then what he wants to see should be Yun Qi." Tang Xi pushed the door open and entered.
"Dingling~" The crisp wind chimes sounded, making it even more obvious that this store has traces of history.
"..." The smile on Tang Xi's face was a little stiff.
There are indeed acquaintances in the store, or two.
"Cousin?" The two girls turned their heads when they heard the voice, and said in unison.
Fu Xiao and Li Qingxue.
Tang Xi suddenly felt that this was a bit funny. A cousin, a cousin, actually played together
"The circle in Jiangnan City is so small." Pei Qingzhi was also helpless.
"Isn't this...Miss Tang?" Fu Xiao didn't seem to be surprised, and walked forward with a smile, "By the way, she's Tang Xuemei now, but I haven't lived in the dormitory, but I haven't seen her since school started. She's obviously a roommate. "
"Hello." She said a long list, Tang Xi just nodded and replied with two words.
"Cousin, are you bringing your juniors here to order dresses?" Fu Xiao asked curiously.
"Yes, my female companion." Pei Qingzhi affirmed.
"Why?" Li Qingxue raised her head sullenly, "Isn't my cousin's girlfriend always been me for so many years?"
"I didn't know you would be back before Christmas." Compared to her excitement, Pei Qingzhi's tone was calm without any waves.
"Then I'm back now, so I don't need her anymore." Li Qingxue immediately said, "Cousin, I've cooperated with you for so many years, so someone else doesn't have a tacit understanding?"
"Indeed, you have cooperated with me for many years." Pei Qingzhi nodded, but then said, "Now that you are grown up, I can't delay your dating. It's not fair to you to be my female companion all the time."
When Li Qingxue heard the second half of the sentence, the smiling face that had just been raised froze immediately, and when she looked at Tang Xi again, she was full of resentment.
"Hey, I remember this is your cousin, dear?" Tang Xi asked knowingly.
"It should be." Pei Qingzhi replied.
"Brother complex is not good, it seems that you are wrong as a brother, don't you know how to introduce some reliable boys for your sister?" Tang Xi smiled.
"It's my fault. I will pay attention to it at the Christmas ball." Pei Qingzhi agreed kindly.
"Cousin!" Li Qingxue looked at him, her eyes were a little red.
"What's the matter?" Pei Qingzhi's eyes were calm and unwavering.
"We haven't seen each other for a year, aren't you happy to see me?" Li Qingxue said aggrievedly.
"What happened in a year?" Pei Qingzhi asked in surprise, "Xiaoxiao and I rarely see each other every few years."
The implication is that they are both cousins, so how can there be such a big gap.
"I'm going to be late." Tang Xi looked at the phone and reminded.
"Master Zhao, please take her measurement, we are in a hurry." Pei Qingzhi walked towards the counter.
"Hey, this is the little girl from the last few Hanfu design drafts, right? She has a really good temperament, which is very suitable for Hanfu." The white-haired old woman smiled kindly and pulled Tang Xi into the inner room.
"Grandma, even if you praise me, you still won't sell it." Tang Xi looked at her and felt kind, half-jokingly.
"Okay, okay, don't buy or sell." Granny Zhao, as if looking at her naughty junior, brought a soft ruler over and whispered, "Xiao Pei said this last time, and I'm still the first!" This is the first time I saw him care so much about girls' clothes, so I made an appointment the day before yesterday and said that I would bring you to measure them—come, see if you like these."
With that said, she stuffed a booklet for her first, then turned to record the data.
Tang Xi flipped through the pages, and when she saw a set of exquisite dresses inside, her eyes lit up.
Although she had very few opportunities to wear skirts due to her professional relationship, a girl wouldn't really hate beautiful clothes.
"Grandma Zhao, this one is pretty, but I don't like bright red very much. Is there another color? Is white okay?" Tang Xi pointed to one of the pages and asked.
"This one, you can do it." Granny Zhao looked her up and down, nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Although white is ordinary, there are not many girls who can wear a white dress with temperament. You... Although white Not bad, but black would be better."
"Is that so?" Tang Xi thought for a while, and said bluntly, "Then it's black, I don't understand it very well."
"Don't worry, Granny will definitely dress you up as the most dazzling daughter in the audience!" Granny Zhao patted her chest, took the booklet, and tore off the page she liked.
"Huh?" Tang Xi was puzzled.
"You can't let two ladies wear the same dress, can you?" Granny Zhao replied using her reason for refusing to sell the design draft of Hanfu.
"I'm just helping Boss Pei make a show." Tang Xi smiled.
"I've watched Xiao Pei grow up, but I've never seen him take the initiative to invite a girl to be his girlfriend." Granny Zhao's expression was a little strange.
"Really?" Tang Xi was taken aback, a strange feeling crossed his mind.
When they went out, only Pei Qingzhi was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine outside, Fu Xiao and Li Qingxue had disappeared.
"Okay?" Pei Qingzhi put down the magazine, a little surprised.
"What misunderstanding do you have about me?" Tang Xi rolled her eyes at him, "Isn't it just a dress, as long as you like it, it's fine. Is it like a blind date, referring to each one over and over again?"
"Cough cough cough..." Pei Qingzhi choked on his own saliva.
"Okay, okay, aren't you in a hurry?" Granny Zhao pushed Tang Xi, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and go on a date. I will notify Xiao Pei as soon as the clothes are ready."
"Grandma Zhao, we're not dating." Pei Qingzhi said awkwardly.
"It's fine, it's fine, don't disturb my design." Granny Zhao waved her hand perfunctorily.
"Then let's go." Tang Xi couldn't see the slightest concern on his face.
After returning to the car, Pei Qingzhi said uncomfortably: "Sorry, that Granny Zhao..."
"Old man, just follow what she says." Tang Xi didn't care, paused, and suddenly smiled again, "I remember asking Mr. Pei if he would give me his life-saving grace, and Mr. Pei still disliked me for being too old. Come on? Now I'm an adult."
"..." Pei Qingzhi was dumbfounded.
"Speaking of which, I have saved you so many times, how many lifetimes you promised me is not enough?" Tang Xi said again.
"You don't blush when you say that?" At least, Pei Qingzhi felt that the base of his ears were getting hot.
"I don't think so." Tang Xi touched his face, then leaned over to look at him carefully.
"What's wrong?" Pei Qingzhi subconsciously leaned back, but there was only so much space in the car, and there was no way to avoid it.
"Why does it look like I'm a bully who forces her into prostitution?" Tang Xi laughed loudly.
"Sit down." Pei Qingzhi felt helpless, pushed her back to the seat, reached out and pulled the seat belt to buckle it for her.
"I didn't expect you to be so casual." Tang Xi was still holding back her laughter.
"If you keep laughing, Chu Li and I will make an appointment at the training ground again." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Tang Xi was stunned.
"Although I have also practiced, is it not comparable to fighting with professional fighters?" Pei Qing said with a headache.
"So when did you fight..." Tang Xi was at a loss.
No, so you two have such a good relationship, why are you fighting
Pei Qingzhi drove without looking sideways.
Still blame Chu Li.
