After Ji Guanxin bandaged the wound, the three of us came out of the hospital and took a police car to the police station. After arriving at the police station, the interrogators had already asked some questions.
A policeman said to me: "Is your name Wang Ping?"
I thought to myself, with such a rude name, could it be me
Shaking my head, I replied aloud: "My name is Liang Zijin."
The policeman said: "The person who just went to your house to cause trouble said that he was hired by someone else and was looking for a debt collector named Wang Ping."
I said, "I live alone in the apartment, and I have never known anyone named Wang Ping."
Ji Guanxin, who was next to me, said, "Maybe it's an excuse. Knocking on a single girl's door in the middle of the night is not harmful. He must be convicted of malicious harassment and attempted robbery."
After that, he raised his injured right hand again, glared and said: "Add a serious injury charge, and he will be imprisoned for ten or eight years. This kind of person is simply crazy!"
The policeman opposite me thought that Ji Guanxin was really angry, and kept saying: "Don't be angry yet, our police are still investigating. Now it can be basically confirmed that the matter has nothing to do with Ms. Liang. As for the reason, our police are still investigating." I will definitely give you an explanation."
In the middle of the night, after recording the confession, Ji Guanxin and I could leave first.
Ji Guanxin took a taxi to take me back to my apartment, but when I got downstairs, I suddenly let out an oops, and Ji Guanxin asked, "What's wrong?"
I frowned and replied, "I forgot to bring my room card and key."
Damn it, I don’t know how many times I’ve made this mistake, my head feels like water.
Ji Guanxin looked calm and said directly: "Then go to my house first."
I turned my head to look at him, my eyes full of vigilance and defense.
Seeing this, Ji Guanxin took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows and said: "Hey, please, miss, I just went up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire for you, please don't turn around and look at me like you're on guard against thieves, okay? It's very hurtful!" "
I suddenly felt guilty and quickly looked away. After calming down for a while, I said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else."
Ji Guanxin put his hands in his coat pockets and looked at me with a faint smile: "I rarely hear you apologize to me. What's going on today? Do you feel you owe me?"
I raised my eyes to look at him and replied seriously: "Ji Guanxin, thank you very much tonight."
Ji Guanxin raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you so serious all of a sudden? My scalp is standing on end."
My expression remained unchanged and I said seriously: "You know I have no relatives in Night City, and I barely even have a few friends. In situations like the one just now, I don't even know who I can call when I pick up my phone..."
Luo Xiangdong was the first person I thought of before the police, but it's a pity...
Trying to ignore the pain in my heart, I looked at Ji Guanxin and said, "So I'm very grateful to you. Thank you for coming to save me."
The carefree look on Ji Guanxin's face slowly faded away, with a rare seriousness on his slightly pale face. He looked at me and said, "If you can really trust me, I don't recommend that you go back to stay tonight. Upstairs It’s such a mess and the door needs to be replaced. Besides, you haven’t brought your key card yet. I’ll take you to the hotel.”
As soon as the word "hotel" came out, something strange flashed across my eyes. It's not my fault, it's just instinct.
Ji Guanxin's eyes were sharp, and he immediately frowned and said, "Liang Zijin, who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others' danger?"
I quickly replied: "Oh, I didn't think you were a bad person, no, no..."
"What's this?"
"No, I didn't bring my wallet. You'll have to pay for it when I go to the hotel later."
Ji Guanxin immediately rolled his eyes at me, and then replied loudly: "It sounds like it's the first time I pay for you. Last time you asked me to treat you and asked me to find an expensive place, but when you left, it wasn't... Did I give it?”
He was talking about the last time he met Luo Xiangdong and Du Ting.
I did run away that time, but not to escape the bill.
I said to Ji Guanxin: "Okay, last time you invited me. Next time I invite you, you choose the place."
Ji Guanxin suddenly said: "I'm hungry now."
"Now?" I asked aloud, "What time is it now?"
Ji Guanxin said: "I don't know, it's probably two or three o'clock."
I was so irritated that I wanted to reach out and grab my hair. At two or three in the middle of the night, everyone else was sleeping at home with their heads covered. I was pitifully standing on the side of the road in the cold wind, unable to go home.
Ji Guanxin looked at me and said, "Please accompany me to dinner. After dinner, I will take you to the hotel."
Ji Guanxin was so brave today and was injured because of me. I had no reason to refuse him, so I had no choice but to follow him into the orange sports car on the side of the road.
After getting in the car, Ji Guanxin turned on the air conditioner. When the warm air blew, I immediately felt excited and couldn't help but close my coat.
Ji Guanxin turned his head and said, "Are you freezing?"
When he asked this question, I suddenly remembered and couldn't help but look at him and said, "Didn't you say you were hospitalized for a cold before? If you run out wearing so little, it won't be more serious, right?"
Underneath my coat, I have cotton pajamas and cotton pajamas, but under Ji Guanxin’s windbreaker is a single layer of hospital gown. Nowadays, the outdoor temperature is about minus ten degrees at least. He can't bear to go back and forth like this.
Ji Guanxin replied while starting the car: "Anyway, if something happens to me due to the cold, you will have to support me for the rest of my life."
Listening to his unserious words, I frowned and said, "I'm not kidding you. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, please tell me immediately so we can go back to the hospital first."
Ji Guanxin said casually: "It's okay. I'll be fine soon after I'm full."
After that, the car drove forward and he asked aloud: "What do you want to eat?"
I subconsciously glanced at the windbreaker he was wearing. Both pockets were flat and contained nothing.
I didn't answer but asked, "Did you bring your wallet?"
Ji Guanxin replied matter-of-factly: "No."
I raised my eyebrows and said, "I didn't bring any with me either, so why don't we two go drink the northwest wind?"
Ji Guanxin said: "Let's get the credit first without bringing the money. It doesn't mean that we won't give it to him later. Are there any restaurants in Night City where I can't swipe my face?"
Look at him looking shameless and preparing to eat the Overlord's meal, which really betrays his identity as a kid from a rich family.
However, what he said reminded me, and the brand name of Wanglaowu Hotel quickly appeared in my mind. I thought that with my familiarity with the boss, it should be okay if I go over and brush my face, right
How about saying that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black? If I were with a normal person, I would never become so shameless.
Having made up my mind, I said to Ji Guanxin: "Go to Ningguofu Hotel."
Ji Guanxin looked a little surprised and asked aloud: "Do you like to eat food there?"
I said: "You go first."
Ji Guanxin drove the car in front of Ningguofu Hotel, and I said, "Find a place that doesn't require parking fees."
He asked: "Why bother? We can park for free when we go in to eat."
I replied: "Who said I would take you to eat here? Just find an empty seat and park the car first."
Ji Guanxin is also obedient, and he will do whatever I say. Finally, he heard the sports car in front of a closed flower shop. When we got out of the car, we caught up with a group of people coming out of the hotel next door. The way they looked at us contained surprise, suspicion, scrutiny, and even the urge to call the police.
I looked down at myself and then at Ji Guanxin. One is wearing cotton pajamas and cotton boots; the other is wearing a long black trench coat and a hospital gown.
The two of us are dressed up like this, and we look like two strange flowers wherever we put them. And most importantly, we came out of Maserati.
It’s hard to blame the group of people with different looks. They probably thought this car was stolen by Ji Guanxin and me.
Ji Guanxin slammed the car door and skillfully used the electronic remote control to lock the door. It was like a beautiful tree facing the wind. I was a little unbalanced in my heart, thinking that it would be good to look good. Even if I put on a hospital gown, I would still be as he said: fashionable and trendy.
Walking around the back of the car, Ji Guanxin came to my side. Compared with my embarrassed look, he was happy-go-lucky and could accept our weird attire with a calm mind.
He looked at me and said, “Where are we going to eat?”
I quickly took him away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and walked through the streets to the front of the Wanglaowu Hotel. This place is just like what I thought. Even at midnight, it is still open, but there are not as many people as there are at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
Ji Guanxin was very excited when he saw Wang Laowu's house number, as if he had found his home. I took him in together and opened the store door. The hot air mixed with the aroma rushed towards me. I wasn't even hungry at first, but now I was immediately drooling.
There are several tables of guests in the house. When they hear the sound of other people entering the door, some people will instinctively look up. As a result, I saw Ji Guanxin and I... looking surprised as always.
The boss was sitting at the checkout counter and looked up at us. After five seconds, he walked out quickly and smiled awkwardly: "Ha, it turns out it's you. I didn't recognize it just now."
I also looked embarrassed, and replied with a stiff smile: "I encountered a robbery at home. I just went to the police station to record a statement, so I stopped by for a bite to eat."
The boss hurriedly said: "Oh, are you not injured?"
Ji Guanxin raised his injured right hand and said, "Fortunately, my hero saved the beauty."
The boss said to Ji Guanxin: "Bad guys are getting more and more rampant these days, thanks to you, otherwise this little girl wouldn't know what to do."
While we were talking, the boss took Ji Guanxin and me to a private room and said, "This is the warmest room. You two don't have much to wear. Do you need me to ask someone to bring you two coats?"
I said, "I don't need it. Boss, please get him one. He just came out of the hospital and is still sick."
The boss probably held it in for a long time and didn't dare to mention it. Now that he heard what I said, he immediately said: "Okay, okay, why are you still wearing a hospital gown..."
After that, the boss exited the private room, and I suppressed a smile.
Ji Guanxin raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you laughing?"
I said, "Maybe the boss thinks I'm coming to dinner with a lunatic."
Ji Guanxin immediately retaliated in kind and replied: "I followed a housewife and got all the looks on my face. What did I say about me?"
