Long shot technique.
But... Xu Xu was troubled. Is it because Mao is the only one who thinks that Ji Bai looks a little rude? Fingers rubbed the back of her hand inadvertently, breathing lightly
On her cheeks, and those thoughtful eyes, was the same expression as being in bed at night...
Of course Ji Bai wasn't bothered at all. Seeing his wife's indifferent expression and blushing face standing in his arms was a great joy in life.
There were also little girls who came up politely while Xu Xu was away: "Director, can you give me some pointers?"
Ji Bai: "Zhao Han, come and teach people."
☆、51
When it was near noon, Ji Bai said goodbye. Xu Xu sent him downstairs, and they both wanted to laugh and reluctant to think of what happened from last night to this morning.
"Then... get in touch again." Xu Xu waved at him.
Ji Bai directly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
There were people coming and going in the corridor, and Ji Bai didn't care, he lowered his head and stared at her: "Your family is all very well."
"That's natural."
A smile rose in Ji Bai's eyes: "I just mentioned it to your father, come back to Beijing with me on eleven, and meet my family."
Xu Xu looked at him.
She knew he was doing it out of courtesy - having seen her family today.
"It was an accident that they met my dad today. You don't have to worry about it, you don't have to be so quick."
Ji Bai stared at her and smiled: "Sooner or later it's the same."
Xu Xu's face became a little hot again: "There are still several months until November. We will talk about it later."
In fact, Ji Bai was not in a hurry. After all, the two of them had just started, and they had never thought about meeting their parents before.
It's just that according to the education he received since he was a child, since he has already taken responsibility in front of other girls and elders, he should also allow her to be recognized by his own parents. This is the respect for her.
With him, he didn't want her to give in a little.
—
Xu Xu went back upstairs, Xu Jun went to the kitchen to cut the watermelon, leaving only the father and daughter in the living room.
Xu Xu sat down beside his father: "How is it?"
Father Xu looked at her with a loving smile: "Very good boy, smart and sophisticated, magnanimous and steady. Your eyesight is much better than Xu Jun."
Before Xu Xu could answer, Xu Jun in the kitchen raised his voice and shouted, "Dad, you are too biased. I am your son. And this is the first time you have met. Is it necessary to give such a high evaluation?"
All three laughed. After laughing, Father Xu said gently: "Your brother is right, I have a high opinion of him, but it's only my first impression. What makes me suspicious is that his family background is somewhat special.
Chinese society is first and foremost a power-based society, followed by an economic society. Even though many people are reluctant to admit it, there are indeed a small number of people who stand at the top of the power in this society.
If a person has stood at the top of the pyramid since he was a child, he will be able to obtain a lot of things more easily than other people since he was a child, his mentality and what he sees will definitely be different from ordinary people like us.
Xu Xu, you are a psychology student. You are very aware of the influence of a person's growth environment on personality and values. I won't interfere in your affairs, but I hope you must consider carefully in the future whether he can always be loyal to you and love you equally and respectfully. "
Xu Xu thought for a while, then nodded: "I can't say for sure now that we will make it to the end, because any relationship is at risk. But the influence of the family on him will not be any problem. Because he is far bigger than us. He realized this earlier, when he was only eighteen years old and just entered the police academy.
Dad, how many men have you seen, at such an age, give up the shadows of their ancestors, give up the familiar growth environment since childhood, and choose a life path that a person like him has never experienced before? And not in a rebellious, decadent, negative way, but positive, independent, and tenacious. "
A soft color rose in her eyes: "Dad, he is really good. Probably, I may meet such a person in my life, and I must grasp it."
Dad, brother, he is a shining pearl on the side, even if he is as ignorant as me in love, he is not willing to miss it.
—
In the afternoon, both my father and brother left. After Xu Xu cleaned up the house, he called Ji Bai.
Ji Bai was playing tennis with some friends in the community. At this time, it was sunset time, and the setting sun slanted on the red plastic sports field, bright and gorgeous. When Ji Bai heard the phone ringing, he called another friend over to take his place, and walked to the sidelines.
"They all left?" Ji Bai asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Xu Xu couldn't help but laugh. It seems that after the intimate relationship last night, the taste of the two of them is different - there is a kind of lingering that only each other can understand.
"Have you eaten yet?" Ji Bai asked.
Xu Xu replied, "I just ate it, how about you?"
"Eat too."
The two were silent for a while, and Ji Bai's voice softened a bit: "...Does it still hurt?"
Xu Xu was startled, his cheeks were a little hot: "Well, it's okay."
Ji Bai laughed lightly and didn't speak.
This made Xu Xu even more embarrassed silently, but he changed the subject lightly: "What are you busy with?"
Ji Bai raised his eyes and looked at the court behind him: "Xu Xu, do you want to come and play with me?"
—
Ji Bai has lived in this community for several years, and is quite familiar with some of the neighbors. Every weekend, everyone will organize some activities, and sometimes call him. There are no special events today, just a few young people playing in the community stadium.
When Xu Xu arrived, Ji Bai had been waiting at the gate of the community for a while, and took her by the hand to lead the crowd: "My girlfriend, Xu Xu."
Everyone laughed, and someone said, "Bachelor Wannian has finally made a girlfriend, and the last diamond king in our community has been captured."
Someone also said to Xu Xu: "Ji Baibai is very good, Miss Xu, you are very lucky."
Xu Xu followed behind Ji Bai and nodded frequently. Ji Bai put his arms around her shoulders: "I am lucky."
Everyone laughed that he had a girlfriend and it was really different, it was like something to spoil him. Xu Xu's cheeks were slightly red, and Ji Bai smiled lightly.
At this time, someone suggested: "Come, come, the newly released husband and wife team, play a game." Ji Bai handed a racket to Xu Xu: "Try it?"
Xu Xu looked at him: "Are you sure? I'm not good at this kind of sport."
Ji Bai smiled: "With me here, you can just follow me and cooperate a few times."
Ji Bai is really not bragging about it. So far, he is the invincible player in the entire community. It's just that this is a high-end fashion community, and there are many couples of similar age. Everyone always likes to do doubles, mixed doubles, and husband and wife. But looking at a couple across from them, the woman who lost was angered, the man was coaxing and admitting his mistake, and in the end, they sat on the sidelines holding hands intimately, wiping sweat and drinking water for each other. And of course, he and a big sweaty old man, high-fiving each other casually to celebrate the victory.
This kind of competitive sports activity that was originally very intense, if the loser is not depressed, and the winner is not excited, the number of times is too much, it is really a bit boring.
Now Xu Xu is different. She's not good at it? It doesn't matter, he is strong enough to fight with her, this feeling of victory must be very satisfying.
However, Ji Bai didn't expect that Xu Xu would be "not good" to this point.
Although she reacted very quickly, she was accurate. But she is too small and her hands and feet are too short, and her arm strength is too small. Not to mention that he often fails to catch up with the trajectory of the ball, even if he does, he often throws a beat directly onto the net.
Of course, the opponent also quickly discovered this disadvantage, and almost all the balls greeted Xu Xu. Even if Ji Bai tried his best to rescue him, he was still powerless.
When he lost, other people were excited. They even said that in the future, they must bring Miss Xu to play ball often to cultivate their relationship. Others said that today is really a memorable day. The often victorious general Ji Bai was defeated like a mountain. Neighborhood Events…
Although Ji Bai was a little frustrated, he didn't care too much. Everyone sat on the sidelines to rest together. He looked at Xu Xu's little red face with sweat and asked, "Are you tired? Drink more water."
Xu Xu has been silent since the loss, then raised his head and looked at the others with a smile: "I'm tired from playing for a while, do you want to play something else? I suggest playing poker."
Just as someone was about to nod, Ji Bai smiled and held her hand: "It's so late, what cards are you playing? Let's do it another day." He whispered to her ear and said, "It doesn't matter, there will be a chance to win it back in the future."
The little guy is very competitive. But it was a long night, he just wanted to be with her, how could he let other people delay time
—
The night was getting darker, and the whole room was shrouded in warm light. Ji Bai went to take a shower, Xu Xu was lying on the bed with his chin propped, watching the quiet starry night outside the window.
Footsteps sounded behind her, the bed sank slightly, and a warm breath surrounded her from behind.
"Do you like it?" Ji Bai's deep voice sounded in her ear.
Xu Xu looked down and saw a transparent emerald green bracelet in his hand.
She looked up at him again: "A token of love?"
Ji Bai smiled, "Yeah." He picked up her wrist and slipped the bracelet into it. Fortunately, the bracelet is also delicate, barely falling off. The hands that are as white as snow are very commensurate with the green jade.
"My grandfather gave it. You wear this to see him later."
Xu Xu was startled, saying that, the bracelet should be prepared for his future daughter-in-law.
"This is too precious, is it inappropriate to give it to me now?"
Ji Bai understood what she was thinking. The relationship between the two had just started less than a few months ago. It would be too early to take this as a gift for Ji's daughter-in-law.
But on the one hand, having met her father today, he felt it was necessary to show her a little bit too. on the other hand…
No matter what happens in the future, or whether he can be with him for the rest of his life, he hopes that the bracelet that he has been waiting for for nearly 30 years belongs to the woman in front of him.
What's more, the possibility that the two will grow old together is very, very high, it should be said that he can hardly think of any impossible factors.
So he smiled and replied: "What time is it, don't think too much about it. You also said that it is a token of love, keep it well."
He said so, Xu Xu did not refuse. Just looking at the round and jaded bracelet, I thought: What kind of love token did she give him? What can properly express her feelings for him? Mind blowing.

Monday night was a celebration banquet arranged by the bureau to commend Ji Bai and Xu Xu for their contributions to the Myanmar operation.
At the beginning of the lantern, the spacious banquet hall was lively and lively, with hundreds of people divided into dozens of tables, laughing and laughing. Xu Xu and Ji Bai sat at the first table with the leaders of the provincial and municipal bureaus. Most of the time, Ji Bai answered the leader's questions and blocked the toasts of colleagues at other tables.
Liu Ting also came today. Seeing his complacent appearance, he deliberately joked: "Ji Bai, you should punish yourself for three cups. When I was going to send Xu Xu away, who rushed back to stop him? It turned out to be a little girl. ."
The leaders laughed. Ji Bai was willing to punish himself, and replied with a smile: "I would like to thank Liu Ting for helping us connect with us." What a good girl, you can be content with yourself."
Ji Bai frankly said that Xu Xu had been ridiculed by the usual serious and experienced leaders, so he could only eat in silence. After a while, got up and went to the bathroom.
As soon as he walked to the corner of the corridor outside, he saw a familiar figure of Pingting standing by the window, it was Yao Meng.
Xu Xu was silent for a while, then stepped forward, a few steps away, and stood beside her.
Yao Meng turned her head to see her, smiled slightly, but didn't make a sound. There are people coming and going from time to time, especially colleagues from other departments, who see Xu Xu and greet him with a smile. But to Yao Meng, everyone just nodded slightly, or just ignored it.
After a while, Xu Xu asked, "I heard that you are leaving tomorrow, how is your new job?"
Yao Meng looked at the night outside the window with a smile on her lips. She didn't answer and asked, "Xu Xu, many people say I'm a sugar daddy behind my back, why are you still asking me about it?"
Xu Xu was silent for a moment, then replied, "Your character is not a sugar daddy, they misunderstood."
Yao Meng was startled and turned to look at her. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "They're right, I did have a rich boyfriend."
"Then you should really like him." Xu Xu said lightly.
This time Yao Meng was silent. Looking at Xu Xu, a complicated smile appeared in her eyes: "Xu Xu, thank you."
The two were silent for a while, and Xu Xu said, "Actually, you don't need to do this."
Yao Meng was stunned, and heard Xu Xu say, "Be passive and slack off. This way everyone will misunderstand you."
Yao Meng looked at her quietly.
She was right, it wasn't necessary. It's just that she once decided to dedicate her life's career, but now she decides to give up, she actually doesn't want to face the colleagues who fought side by side in the past. What kind of mentality is this? She can't analyze it. Is it the inferiority complex after being rejected by Ji Bai? Is it the self-blame of Brother Lu's case? Or the shame of not being able to stick to the old ideals before better development opportunities and greater temptation of fame and fortune
But Xu Xu seemed to understand her.
The night was still dark, Yao Meng looked at the vast sky and the brightly lit land before her, and said softly, "Xu Xu, I'm sorry."
Xu Xu nodded: "I accept."
Yao Meng couldn't help laughing, she walked over and hugged her gently.
Yao Meng left the table early that day. Under the respectful gaze of the waiter at the restaurant and the side glances of passers-by, she got into her boyfriend's luxury car.
Her boyfriend, Lin Qingyan, is in his thirties, wearing a sophisticated black suit, tall, thin, and handsome. He is an executive of a listed company. He held her hand gently: "Is it all right?"
Yao Meng sighed with emotion, but because of Xu Xu's better mood, she nodded, "Very well."
Lin Qingyan smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Although you leave your job, you should have more contacts with your former colleagues. You are still young, and the first job you just graduated from and the friends you make are often life-long. It is very worthy of attention."
Although the two have been dating for less than two months, he is ten years older than her, mature and peaceful, and to her, he is both a boyfriend and a mentor in her life. This is where Yao Meng was deeply moved by him. She leaned her head in his arms: "Well, I listen to you. Thank you Qingyan."
Lin Qingyan looked at the peach-like full and beautiful face of the girl in his arms, tenderness rose in his heart, he hugged her gently, and lowered his head to kiss her.

This weekend, the neighbors of Jibai Community organized a self-driving trip to the suburbs. Ji Bai naturally also brought Xu Xu to participate.
Arriving in the suburbs on Friday night was already late at night. The moonlight in the valleys is clear, the pool water is deep, and occasionally fish startle the water waves, which is clean and pleasant.
Some are fishing, some are boating, some are grilling and singing by the campfire. Ji Bai likes to fish, and Xu Xu and Xu Xu sit by the pool with a fishing rod each, and in a short while they pick up a few big fish, which amazes everyone.
At this moment, someone shouted, "Ji Bai, come and eat skewers with your wife."
Ji Bai took Xu Xu's hand and walked over, smiled and replied, "My wife likes spicy food, put more."
Xu Xu's cheeks were slightly hot when he heard this name, but he didn't say anything.
That night everyone pitched tents and slept on the mountainside. Climb the mountain early the next morning to watch the sunrise. At about three o'clock, someone woke everyone up and walked up the dark mountain road. Although the moon is dark and the wind is high, there are many lovers present, and they whisper to each other, and it will not be boring.
When approaching the top of the mountain, someone suggested, "Let's run! Let's see who gets to the top first. The loser invites the winner to have breakfast."
Everyone said yes, but Ji Bai smiled lightly and added, "What's the point of running lightly? Just run with your wife, and whoever arrives first will win."
Everyone thought it was more interesting and agreed.
Ji Bai squatted down in front of Xu Xu: "Come up." Xu Xu climbed up, but heard him whisper, "I didn't break my promise. I'll win it back for you today."
Xu Xu was stunned for a moment, then reacted—the last time he lost, he said that he would have a chance to win it back. I still remember it today. At this time, someone gave an order, and the men had already carried their wives and rushed to the mountain road.
Someone quickly reacted: "Ji Bai is too bad! His wife is the lightest!"
Xu Xu lay on Ji Bai's shoulder and couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, they were the first to reach the top of the mountain. Leave others far behind. It's just that before the sunrise, there is only a gray light on the top of the mountain, and the four wild mountains are crawling and silent.
More and more people came to the top of the mountain, all waiting quietly. Ji Bai was bored of waiting, and clasped Xu Xu's waist. Just as he was about to kiss him, he saw that she took out something from her bosom, her cheeks were still a little red, and patted his palm: "Open your hand."
Ji Bai spread out his hands according to the words.
The light is not good, but it is vaguely recognizable, this is... a gray stone
Ji Bai took the stone and listened to Xu Xu's stern explanation: "This is a fossil. My dad left it during his scientific expedition. It's not a very valuable thing, but it is commendable that there is a very small one in it. A flower, and a leaf. Look closely at the light in a moment…”
Seeing that Ji Bai was silent, she looked at him hesitantly: "This is a token of love. Do you like it?"
Ji Bai burst into laughter, raised his arms and embraced her.
You use the vicissitudes of life to settle love, of course I like it, I like it very much.
At that time, thin clouds floated on the top of the mountain, and a red sun slowly burst out from the distant horizon. The rays of the sun are like broken gold, slowly illuminating the earth. Many cheered loudly. Xu Xu also looked at the majestic and gorgeous scenery in front of him in a good mood, and for Ji Bai, the most beautiful scenery was already in his arms. He surrounded her from behind, and in the brilliant light and shadow between heaven and earth, he kissed her reddish face deeply.

Four months later.
From summer to autumn, Lin City is often shrouded in thin mist, and the whole city is cool and pleasant, with lush greenery.
It is night, the moonlight is bright, and the autumn is strong. Xu Xu was wearing a large T-shirt and sat in front of the computer with his fingers flying. With a cup of strong coffee in hand, and pair of earplugs hanging on his ears as usual, he didn't even hear someone pushing the door behind him.
Ji Bai was dispatched by the provincial department to go out on a business trip. It has been two weeks, and he just came back overnight today. She thought she would see the little guy sleeping sweetly, but she didn't expect him to be at home, but she was enjoying herself.
Put down the luggage in your hand and walk forward slowly. She was wearing his T-shirt, a piece of clothing that could almost cover her entire body, revealing only her slender, snow-white calves... Ji Bai bent over and picked her up from the stool: "Wife..."
Xu Xu was staring at the computer with all his attention, and his whole body trembled with fright. He felt his breath and body temperature, and then he laughed.
He still had the coldness of the night on him, and his cool lips pressed heavily against hers. After a fiery entanglement, his breath was also a little unstable, and he hugged her and walked to the bedroom.
"Wait!" Xu Xu pushed his chest away and glanced at his jacket, "Go take a shower first." After saying that, he jumped out of his arms and sat back in the chair.
Ji Bai's arms were empty, glanced at her slender figure, leaned over and wrapped her around her again: "What are you busy with?"
Xu Xu bit her pen, stared at the screen and replied, "Write a column for Yao Meng's magazine. Her magazine focuses on women's lives, and mental health is also an aspect."
Ji Bai glanced at the computer screen: "Why are you interested in doing this?"
Xu Xu opened the drawer, took out two exquisite tickets and handed them to him: "I didn't ask her for any money. She paid her two concert VIP tickets—don't you like this band? No merit, no reward, I I wrote it for her."
Ji Bai took the ticket, glanced at it, put it on the table, lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
He went to take a shower, and Xu Xu focused his attention on the screen again. Just after typing on the keyboard a few times, he suddenly heard him shouting in the bathroom, "Wife, I didn't take a bath towel."
Xu Xu got up, took a bath towel and walked over. The door opened a crack, and there was the sound of water splashing. Xu Xu raised his eyes - Hey, isn't the bath towel on the shelf inside? Before she could regain her senses, a sturdy wheat-colored arm stretched out in front of her eyes and pulled her in at once.
Xu Xu laughed and pushed him: "I haven't finished my work yet!"
Ji Bai didn't want to do anything, he carried her with her clothes under the shower, and closed the bathroom door with a backhand.
A room of infatuation.
Waiting for the two of them to hug and lie on the bed quietly, it has been a few hours.
Ji Bai has been reeling for the past few days, and he was a little ruthless just now, but now he is completely satisfied and exhausted. Xu Xu lay down for a while with his eyes closed, but couldn't fall asleep - he drank too much coffee, so he simply sat up: "You go to bed first, I'll finish the work."
Ji Bai glanced at the clock on the wall—it was two o'clock. Seeing that she actually turned on the computer, with the momentum of planning to stay all night, she couldn't help frowning: "Come and sleep."
Xu Xu: "Don't worry about it."
Ji Bai got up and went over, raised his hand and closed her screen cover: "What time is it?"
Xu Xu's thoughts surged, but he was interrupted suddenly, and he couldn't help frowning and looking up at him. Ji Bai also stared at her without hesitation, his dark eyes were heavy, and he naturally showed his usual stern look.
Xu Xu glanced at him and turned on the screen again: "Have you forgotten the rules of cohabitation? Do not interfere with each other."
Ji Bai looked at her indifferent expression, and there was a little anger in his chest.
It wasn't that he insisted on interfering with Xu Xu, but he worked hard outside for more than half a month and never slept well. As soon as the case was over, he didn't want to spend the night in a foreign place, and he rushed back immediately. In fact, people are already too tired, and only hope that Wenxiang Nephrite is in her arms and can sleep with her, but she does not appreciate it.
And it's too late, she doesn't cherish her body, he still can't bear it!
After a moment of silence, he suppressed the urge to forcibly bring her back to the bed. He dragged a chair over and sat beside her: "Okay, don't interfere. I'll sit here by myself at the head office."
Xu Xu glanced at him, did not speak, and continued typing on the keyboard. Ji Bai stared at her quietly, looking at her fair and quiet little face, the anger in his heart disappeared - she is such a straight and stunned character, what is there to be angry about
Xu Xu was staring at him like this, but he was actually a little bit unable to work. Thinking that he just came back from a business trip, what time is he still not going to sleep? Can his body hold him
After a while, she decided to compromise. When he turned his head, he saw that his head was tilted, his eyes were slightly closed, his breathing was even and long - he was already sitting on a chair and fell asleep.
Xu Xu pushed the computer away, got up and squatted down in front of him. Looking closely, I realized that his eyes were slightly sunken, and his handsome brows were all tired.
Xu Xu felt distressed immediately, stretched out his hand and pushed him gently: "Third brother, third brother... I'm sorry, I don't work anymore, let's go to bed."
Ji Bai didn't open his eyes, the corner of his mouth raised a smile first. Xu Xu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted—he pretended to be sleeping and sympathized!
Ji Bai has already reached out and picked her up and put her on the bed, wrapping her tightly in his arms, feeling happy physically and mentally: "Third brother accept your apology, be good, go to sleep."
—
In fact, Xu Xu didn't want to live together at first. One is that she is used to her own way, and is not used to suddenly having more people in her life; the other is that the two are colleagues, and if they still live together, they will be together almost 24 hours a day.
Xu Xu believes that a proper distance will deepen the beauty of love, but it may be counterproductive if it is too boring.
But these thoughts of hers are not a problem in Ji Bai's view - how can she get tired of it? So busy with work, so little time to spend time together.
His purpose is to live together quickly, to completely integrate the little guy into his life, and to firmly cultivate the relationship. Xu Xu's temperament is simple, and his goals are firm and step by step, and the result is naturally conceivable—
Hungry at night, no one cooks supper, tired from work during the day and wanted her to take care of herself on weekends, smoking addiction and asked her to supervise, suddenly driving downstairs to pick her up at her house... Such excuses, Xu Xu's clothes were taken a little by him When they moved home, sometimes they lived in his house for several days a week, but in the end, it was not as convenient as Ji Bai's house in my own house... Before I knew it, they moved in together very quickly.
Later, Xu Xu also realized what he was thinking, but he was already reluctant to refuse.
Fortunately for Xu Xu, in the third month of cohabitation, the two hardly ever quarreled. Even if there is a contradiction, it is just this small friction. Always quick and reconciled.
Occasionally there is a big friction, and Ji Bai will let her a little bit. No matter who is right or wrong, he will always try to coax her first. For this, Xu Xu is very, very happy. Sometimes I mentioned it to Xu Jun, and even he said, "Ji Bai Bai looks very proud, but his heart is big enough for a man."
—
The concert is Saturday night at a downtown theater. When Ji Bai and Xu Xu arrived, the seats were almost full, and the huge theater was brightly lit and well-dressed.
Their seats are right in the middle of the front of the theater, which is a very good position. As soon as she was seated, she saw Yao Meng holding Lin Qingyan's arm, sitting in the front row, turning her head and smiling at them. There were also some young men and women sitting around, and they looked over when they saw it. They should be colleagues from Yao Meng's company.
Compared to a few months ago, Yao Meng looked more mature and beautiful. With satin-like long hair, a delicate and elegant evening dress, light makeup and bright eyebrows, sitting in the crowd, she looks more and more beautiful and moving. Like a piece of rough jade, the dust finally faded away, and it fully bloomed. Lin Qingyan was tall and straight, elegant and elegant, and the two of them sat together very well.
Although they didn't communicate much, Ji Bai and Xu Xu had a good impression of Lin Qingyan. The two men smiled and greeted, and Lin Qingyan complimented politely: "Xu Xu is very beautiful today."
Ji Bai looked at the woman beside him—beige V-neck sweater, short woolen skirt, although not as glamorous as other women, but fresh and cute like a soft animal, indeed the most beautiful in his eyes.
Xu Xu smiled and said to Lin Qingyan, "The most beautiful one is by your side."
The four of them laughed. Lin Qingyan looked at Yao Meng who was beside her, and when the lights dimmed, she turned her head and gently kissed her face. Ji Bai also took Xu Xu's hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss.
Her every frown and smile touched his heart, and there were lovers in the world, and that was not the case.
—
At the end of the concert, the night was just right, the pool outside the theater was shaded by lights, the flowers were fragrant and the trees were green. The exit was at the peak of the crowd, Ji Bai didn't take Xu Xu home immediately, but walked into the green shade and slowly paced.
After walking a few steps, the phone rang. When he saw it, he picked it up with a slight smile: "Mom."
Ji Bai usually didn't have much contact with his family, and Xu Xu never had direct contact with his parents. At this moment, he stood quietly beside him.
Ji's mother heard her son's hearty voice and said with a smile, "It's almost eleven, and it's Mid-Autumn Festival again, will you go home?"
Ji Bai glanced at Xu Xu: "Go back. I'll bring Xu Xu back together."
On the other end of the phone, my mother was silent for a moment, and replied, "Let us know when you book your flight ticket, and I'll send a driver to pick it up."
"Okay." Ji Bai smiled lightly.
—
After returning home that day, Xu Xu went to take a bath, and Ji Bai went to the balcony alone and chewed jujube tablets against the night.
Under the supervision of my wife, smoking has been completely quit. It was only occasionally that he became addicted, and Xu Xu always stuffed him with jujube tablets, saying that as a substitute, it could be used for beauty, beauty, blood and qi, etc... Although a criminal policeman chewing red jujube tablets for beauty and blood in public is a bit weird, but it is his wife's The command, the people around him became envious.
At this moment, Ji Bai was chewing on the jujube slices and thinking: This time, bringing Xu Xu back to Beijing will be a bit difficult for my mother.
He had mentioned Xu Xu's matter to his family several times before. Everyone else was fine, except for his mother, who seemed to avoid it on purpose, and never answered the question every time.
Since he chose a career, there has always been a conflict between mother and son, and they have not compromised with each other. He just couldn't beat him, and slowly he accepted the reality.
Now, instead of marrying a man of the right match according to her intention, he found a foreign girl who was also a criminal policeman. Of course, his mother was not happy.
However, it won't be too difficult.
Ji Bai took out his cell phone and started making calls one by one.
The first call was to his grandfather who loved him the most.
"Grandpa, I'm going back to Beijing next week. A surprise for you—yes, I'll bring my granddaughter-in-law to see you. Send a car to pick you up. She said she wanted to see you first... After seeing you, I'll go to see my parents... "
The second call is to my eldest brother.
"Brother, I'll bring Xu Xu back next week. You have to come back on the day of dinner at home."
Then call Shu Hang.
"I'll bring your sister-in-law back next week... Well, just pass it on if you like it, it's upright, and you say that Ji San is going to get married. My mother's attitude? Shu Hang, let your mother and the others persuade my mother …”
Shu Hang on the other end was happy: "Why don't I go to my mother and cry - say you found a clean, smart and lovely girl, everyone is envious and jealous? I swear to find a similar one."
Ji Bai smiled lightly and replied, "Yes."
—
On the eve of returning to Beijing, Xu Xu went home with a lot of things.
Ji Bai opened it and took a look: jade earrings as delicate as dripping water - Xu Xu explained: "You said that your mother likes jade, and I asked my brother to buy this from someone."
Silk blouse with a good feel - "Gift to grandpa, the old man wears it comfortably. It's all handmade."
It is unfolded in the same way, not necessarily too expensive, but it can be seen that it takes a lot of thought.
Ji Bai raised his eyes and looked at her: "I will ask someone to prepare these, you don't have to worry about it."
Xu Xu said, "Whoever bought it can tell at a glance. And they have different opinions."
Ji Bai was silent for a moment, and said, "Wife, my mother has always had a grudge against me about being a police officer. When I return to Beijing this time, she may have a little misunderstanding about you because of me. But you don't have to care, she can't affect the overall situation."
Xu Xu was slightly startled.
Her mother passed away early and did not have much experience with female elders. But she was able to make a judgment—with Ji Bai's sophistication, she couldn't fully get his mother to support him, so it could be seen that his mother should have a more stubborn personality and might not be easy to get along with.
After all, they were discussing their elders, and both of them fell silent. After a while, Xu Xu asked, "Do you mind if I ask a question?"
"Say."
"Who in your family has the most say?"
Ji Bai smiled slightly: "My grandfather, followed by my eldest brother."
Xu Xu nodded, pondered calmly for a while, then raised his head: "Have you won their support? We should avoid the important and control the overall situation."
Ji Bai pulled her into his arms and laughed in a deep voice.
As long as the little guy has his heart, he has more scheming than anyone else. The trip to Beijing, the Ji family went up and down, for her, I am afraid that it is also a soldier who will block the river!
☆、53
Beijing in autumn, the sky is clear and blue, the sun is dry and warm, it is a rare comfortable and pleasant season of the year.
When Ji Bai and Xu Xu got off the plane, there were already several cars waiting on the tarmac: the family, the grandfather's house, and Shu Hang and a few others standing beside the cars with small smiles.
This attitude made Xu Xu glance at Ji Bai - he has always been low-key, but today he is making a move, naturally he did it on purpose.
She listened to his arrangements.
Ji Bai was wearing the black trench coat she bought today. The neat cut and clean colors made him taller and slender, and his whole body showed a handsome and refreshing taste. As if he could sense Xu Xu's thoughts, he silently clenched her little hand and walked towards the crowd with a light smile.
After Shu Hang hugged Ji Bai a few times, when he saw Xu Xu, he deliberately nodded and flattered: "Sister-in-law! You are here! The imperial capital is full of brilliance!" "Don't go back when you come, everyone can I miss you all!"
Xu Xu couldn't get along with these slick tongues, so he just smiled shyly. Ji Bai put his arms around her waist and knocked on Shu Hang's car cover: "Let's go to Grandpa's house first, and we'll meet with you in two days."
"Come on. Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat and play? Make a list. Brothers and sisters will go through fire and water, and the stars in the sky will be picked for you... "
Xu Xu couldn't help laughing, and Ji Bai laughed too: "It's not your turn to pick stars for her, let's go!"

The sedan galloped on the highway and soon arrived at my grandfather's house.
This is a quiet small courtyard in the city, the courtyard is shaded by parasol trees, and the corridor is quiet. Ji Bai carried the gift and took Xu Xu's hand and walked straight in. The guard and the nanny are acquaintances who have been with him for many years, and they laughed when they saw him: "Ji Bai is back? Is this his girlfriend?"
Ji Bai nodded with a smile, asked Xu Xu to call people one by one, and then asked, "Where's Grandpa?"
"Commander wakes up from a nap and basks in the sun in the backyard, waiting for you for a long time."
Xu Xu and Ji Bai stepped into the backyard and saw an old man sitting in a chair under a tree. The sun shrouded his whole body. He wore a very ordinary blue shirt and loose cotton pants, looking quiet and kind.
Ji Bai walked over, leaned down, and said softly
