Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 47

After Lin Nanyue and Qiao Xingnian separated, they drove home alone. When they arrived at the door of their house, they saw Zhang Qing curled up at the door.She was lying on her knees, her eyes closed, and she seemed to be asleep.

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly, just as he walked forward, Zhang Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes, a little dazed, with a little uneasiness, looking up at him pitifully.

Seeing this, Lin Nanyue asked aloud, "Why are you here?"

"Nanyue?" Zhang Qing seemed to see Lin Nanyue clearly, and quickly got up and hugged him.

Lin Nanyue was taken aback by her sudden movement, then pushed her body and said, "Zhang Qing, let go first, what happened, why are you at my door?"

Zhang Qing was smart enough not to entangle her too much, she let go of Lin Nanyue, a faint blush appeared on her fair face, and she explained: "Nanyue, I'm sorry, just now I... I just saw that you were a little excited, nothing else."

Lin Nanyue looked at Zhang Qing in front of him, unable to get in touch with the gold digger, and said, "Why are you at my door, what happened?"

"Can I go in and get a glass of water? My throat is so dry."

"How long have you been waiting here?" Lin Nanyue asked while taking out the keys.

"Also... not long ago, I came here after work."

Zhang Qing's tone was a little embarrassing and aggrieved.

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly, opened the door to let her in, and said, "Sit whatever you want, I'll get you a glass of water."

"Thank you." Zhang Qing nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down.

Lin Nanyue handed the water glass to Zhang Qing, and sat down opposite her.

Holding the water glass, Zhang Qing tentatively took a sip, then said with a smile: "I still remember the last time you poured me water, it was scalding hot water, maybe there was a shadow, I will be careful every time I drink water. "

Lin Nanyue said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I was wrong last time. How is your injury?"

"It's healed, but there is a scar left on my leg, and now I'm using ointment to remove the scar, and I don't know if it can be removed." Lin Nanyue said, touching the injured part.

When Zhang Qing said this, Lin Nanyue couldn't help feeling guilty, and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for my hands and feet, you wouldn't have been hurt."

"Don't say that, I don't blame you, and the injury is on the thigh, as long as you don't wear shorts, no one can see it."

The more Zhang Qing said that, the more guilty Lin Nanyue felt, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, you wait, I'll make you something to eat."

"can you cook?"

Lin Nanyue smiled awkwardly and said, "No, but there are instant noodles at home, I'll make a bowl of noodles for you."

Zhang Qing smiled lightly, stood up and said, "Let me come, what do you have at home?"

Lin Nanyue went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, looked at it, and said, "There are eggs and tomatoes."

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Leave it to me here, you can do whatever you need to do."

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly and said, "You are a guest, how can I let you do it."

"We are...friends, there is no need to care so much between friends, let alone I eat by myself, I am the one who is bothering you."

Lin Nanyue hesitated, and said, "Then I'll help you."

"Okay, then you can wash these two tomatoes." Zhang Qing reached out and took out the tomatoes, and stuffed them into Lin Nanyue's hands.

Lin Nanyue nodded, took the tomatoes, washed them in the sink, and said, "Why did you come to me when you haven't told me?"

Zhang Qing's movements paused, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Recently, I always feel that someone is following me, and someone knocks on my door at night. I dare not go home, so I thought of you."

"Stalking?" Lin Nanyue frowned and asked, "Did you see that person?"

"No." Zhang Qing shook her head and said, "It's because I didn't see that person that I was afraid. I'm alone in Lake City. If I meet a bad person, I'm afraid no one will even know if I'm dead."

Zhang Qing's eyes were reddish, and her eyes were both frightened and aggrieved, really pitiful.

It's just that Lin Nanyue's heart towards her is so calm now that he can't make any waves at all. He said, "Why didn't you call the police?"

"I didn't see that person at all. Even if I call the police, the police will not file a case."

"As long as you call the police, the police will intervene in the investigation. After eating, I will take you back and go to the police station to call the police."

Zhang Qing was dazed for a moment, and responded softly, saying: "Just wash the tomatoes and put them here. You can go out. In order to thank you for taking me in, let me do it myself. You can wash the dishes after dinner." "

Lin Nanyue nodded, and went straight to the study to collect the clues of the case so far.

Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the study, Lin Nanyue turned off the computer and walked out.

"Nanyue, the noodles are ready, you can eat some too."

Lin Nanyue looked at the noodles on the table, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

The two came to the restaurant and sat opposite each other. Zhang Qing looked at Lin Nanyue expectantly and said, "Nanyue, how about trying my handicraft?"

Lin Nanyue took a bite with his chopsticks and said, "It tastes good."

When Zhang Qing heard it, she immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, her expression was like that of a student who was praised by the teacher, and she said, "Just as long as you like it."

Lin Nanyue smiled, and lowered his head to eat the noodles in the bowl. Qiao Xingnian's words lingered in his mind, making him feel a little fake when he saw Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing also noticed Lin Nanyue's change, she felt a little puzzled, she picked up the red wine next to her, poured a glass for each of them, and said, "Nanyue, thank you for taking me in."

Lin Nanyue looked at the wine glass and said, "Recently, there is a case in hand, and the police may be called at any time, so you can't drink."

Zhang Qing's expression froze, then returned to normal, and said, "That's it, sorry, I don't know these regulations well, don't mind."

Lin Nanyue shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can drink as much as you want, but if you can't drink enough, drink less, and I will send you back later."

"Okay." The smile on Zhang Qing's face could hardly hold back, she was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she lowered her eyes and drank all the red wine in the glass.

Zhang Qing blushed, looked straight at Lin Nanyue, and said, "Nanyue, you...do you not like me anymore?"

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly, and said, "You can't drink enough, why do you still drink so much?"

"Do you not like me anymore?" Zhang Qing looked at Lin Nanyue with mist in her eyes.

Lin Nanyue was silent for a while, and said, "Yes, I have already let go."

Dou Da's teardrops fell, Zhang Qing choked up and said, "It's only been a while, how can you say you don't like it, you don't like it anymore."

Lin Nanyue pushed the tissue to Zhang Qing's side, and said coldly, "You said it was impossible for us. Is it wrong for me to put it down?"

"I regret it!" Zhang Qing grabbed Lin Nanyue's hand and said anxiously: "I have regretted it since you left! But I am a girl, and girls are reserved, so I am embarrassed to say I regret it. I thought to myself Since you like me, you won't give up so easily, so I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to come to me, but...but you never came to me. "

Tears came one after another, the uneasiness and grievance in Zhang Qing's eyes were so real, coupled with this pretty face.

Anyone who changed a man would probably feel pity in his heart, but Lin Nanyue was very calm in his heart, without any emotional fluctuations.

Lin Nanyue broke away from Zhang Qing's hand and said, "Sorry, if you miss it, you miss it. You will definitely meet better ones in the future."

Zhang Qing looked at the hand that had been wrenched away in disbelief, she blinked instinctively, glistening tears slipped down, her pink lips quivered slightly, and said, "I missed it..."

"Yes, there is no fate between us."

"It's only been a month, and you've forgotten me? I don't believe it!" Zhang Qing wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and said, "Nanyue, I like you, I really like you, let's start again, shall we?"

"It's late, I'll take you back." Lin Nanyue pushed the stool away, stood up and looked at Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing looked up at him, and said with a trembling voice, "Is it really... impossible for us?"

"Let's go, we won't contact each other in the future."

Zhang Qing looked at Lin Nanyue in silence for a while, then looked away, stood up with support, but staggered, she sat back again, propped her head on her right hand, closed her eyes, frowned, and said, "Sorry , I... I'm a little dizzy, can you let me relax for a while?"

Lin Nanyue turned around and poured her a glass of water, handed it to Zhang Qing, and said, "Drink some water."

Zhang Qing opened her eyes, looked up at Lin Nanyue, and said, "Can I ask one last question?"

"You said."

"Are you in love with someone else?"

Hearing Zhang Qing's question, Qiao Xingnian's face appeared in Lin Nanyue's mind unconsciously, he was stunned, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Lin Nanyue didn't know it, but Zhang Qing understood it. The annoyance in her heart was even worse. Tears came out of her eyes again. She pushed the water glass aside, picked up the red wine on the table, poured a full glass, and said, "Finally Come have a drink with me, after this drink, we... will not contact each other."

Lin Nanyue frowned, and wanted to refuse, but Zhang Qing said, "Captain Lin, it's just a glass of red wine. Even if you drink it, so what? Or do you mean you won't even have a glass of wine with me?"

Lin Nanyue's heart was confused by Zhang Qing's question just now. He didn't understand why Qiao Xingnian's face appeared in his mind.He struggled for a while, picked up the glass and drank it down, and said: "I drank, I can't drive now, I will arrange a car to take you back."

Looking at the wine glasses on the table, Zhang Qing asked aloud, "Can we... still be friends?"

Lin Nanyue regained his composure and said, "We should stop contacting each other in the future."

Zhang Qing cried and laughed, and said, "You are really heartless!"

Lin Nanyue wanted to say more, but suddenly felt dizzy. He sat down on the chair, and soon lost consciousness.

……

Pulling back his thoughts, Lin Nanyue looked around and asked, "Where's Zhang Qing?"

"Scared away." Qiao Xingnian sat on the chair opposite Lin Nanyue and said, "Captain Lin, I'm sorry, but I interrupted your good business again."

Although the words were apologetic, there was no apologetic tone in his tone.

"I lost consciousness just now, and I am completely unaware of what happened after that."

As he spoke, Lin Nanyue seemed to come back to his senses, and quickly checked his clothes, only to find that the buttons of his jacket had been unbuttoned, and his belt had been torn off, but luckily his pants were still on.

Seeing this, Lin Nanyue couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I didn't expect that she would drug me."

Qiao Xingnian asked curiously: "Captain Lin, you treat Zhang Qing...do you still like her?"

"No." Lin Nanyue quickly denied it, and suddenly recalled Zhang Qing's previous questioning in his mind, and the person who was in his mind at that time was the man sitting in front of him.

"You don't like her, why did she show up at your house and give her a chance to drug her?" Qiao Xingnian was a little surprised. Lin Nanyue is a criminal police officer, so how could she fall into the hands of a woman so easily.

"She said she was being followed, and that people often knocked on her door at night."

Lin Nanyue knew in his heart that these were all excuses, he drank that glass of wine because his mind was disturbed.

Qiao Xingnian suddenly realized, and said, "No wonder. Zhang Qing is really smart. She is using Team Lin's status as a policeman to make Team Lin unable to reject her."

Lin Nanyue didn't explain, and planned to make mistakes. After this case is over, he needs to take care of his special...emotions when facing Qiao Xingnian.

"Captain Lin, please lend me your mobile phone."

Lin Nanyue came back to his senses, looked around, but couldn't find the phone.

Qiao Xingnian looked at Lin Nanyue without hesitation. His skin was much fairer than his face, and his figure was also very standard. He had four-pack abs. It was obvious that he often exercised, and with that handsome face, It's normal to be popular with girls.

It's a pity that his identity as a policeman keeps him busy, and he has no time to interact with the opposite sex. Finally, there is someone who makes him fall in love with a gold digger.

Sensing Qiao Xingnian's gaze, Lin Nanyue looked down, forgetting that he was showing his breasts/chest/exposed/breast, and turned sideways uncomfortably, buttoned up his buttons, and said, "I'm not in the bedroom, wait a minute , I'll go take a look outside."

Qiao Xingnian looked away naturally, and said, "Let me go with Team Lin."

Qiao Xingnian and Lin Nanyue left the bedroom together, and found his mobile phone on the sofa.

Watching Lin Nanyue press the power button, Qiao Xingnian said with a smile: "I said why Team Lin's phone is still unavailable. It turns out that it was turned off by someone."

As soon as the phone was turned on, it rang non-stop. There were not only messages, but also missed calls, all from Qiao Xingnian.Lin Nanyue handed the phone to Qiao Xingnian and said, "What do you need from me?"

"There is indeed something wrong. Team Lin didn't pick up the call at first, and then turned off the phone when I called again. I was worried that something would happen, so I sent a message. I didn't see Team Lin back after waiting for a long time. I was thinking of coming over after taking a shower. Look, I didn't expect to come here without waiting for me."

"I didn't see you calling." Lin Nanyue thought for a while and said, "Zhang Qing didn't have dinner. She said she wanted to make a bowl of noodles, so I went to the study to sort out the case information. At that time, the mobile phone was on the sofa. It should be She heard the phone ring and turned it off."

Qiao Xingnian nodded, dialed Jiang Mohan's cell phone directly, and said, "Team Lin, please repeat what my brother said later."

"Hey, Team Lin, are you looking for me?"

Jiang Mohan's voice came over the phone, and Lin Nanyue repeated it silently.

"Brother, it's me, Xingnian. I'm here with Team Lin now. I won't be going back tonight. I'll call you."

"When did you go to Team Lin's place?"

Seeing Lin Nanyue's repeated words, Qiao Xingnian lied casually: "I was taking a shower just now. The more I thought about it, the more I felt confused on the phone, so I hailed a car and came to Team Lin."

"That's it, have you talked to Team Lin?"

"I just arrived. I didn't come here in a hurry. I didn't bring my mobile phone. I didn't want you to be in a hurry, so I called you first."

"No mobile phone?" Jiang Mohan frowned slightly, and said, "Then you are not coming back tonight?"

"No, it's too late. Tomorrow, I'll ask Team Lin to take me home. I'll take my phone and go to the store." Qiao Xingnian paused, and said: "Brother, go to work hard tomorrow, don't act rashly, everything Leave it to me and Team Lin, okay?"

"Brat, I'm not a child. I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do. Don't worry."

"Hmm. Brother, go to bed early. If you can't fall asleep, play the audio I sent you to ensure you have a good night's sleep."

"Okay, you have a good rest too."

Qiao Xingnian was still worried, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother, in my heart, you are really important, more important than my life, so promise me, think of me before doing things, okay?"

Jiang Mohan was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Nah, I see, I'll hang up first, good night."

"Good night."

When Qiao Xingnian said that Jiang Mohan lived his own life, Lin Nanyue frowned slightly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, he seemed to be jealous, jealous of Jiang Mohan's position in Qiao Xingnian's heart, but why did he have such a strange emotion...

"Team Lin?" Seeing Lin Nanyue in a daze, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help calling out.

Lin Nanyue regained consciousness, took the phone, and said, "You told your brother about Hu Jiaxu?"

Although it is not clear what exactly happened, Lin Nanyue still made a rough guess after listening to the conversation between the two.

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Captain Lin, where is the tea at home?"

Lin Nanyue was startled, then said, "I'll get it for you."

Lin Nanyue went to get the tea leaves, while Qiao Xingnian went to the kitchen, searched around but couldn't find the tea set, and said, "Team Lin, where is the tea set I gave you last time?"

Lin Nanyue put the tea in his hand on the coffee table, then opened the drawer of the coffee table, took out the tea set from it, and said, "That tea set was given to my dad, you can use this set."

"Give it to your dad?" Qiao Xingnian came over and said, "If I knew you were going to give it away, I would have given you a better one."

"My dad likes that tea set very much, saying that the shape is very unique."

Qiao Xingnian looked at the tea sets on the table, took them to the kitchen and cleaned them carefully, and said, "That's for sure, I drew pictures on these tea sets myself and asked a special master to order them. Although the materials are different, the shapes are all unique. , and you can’t buy it anywhere else.”

Lin Nanyue also came to the kitchen, looked at the busy Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Do you want to boil water?"

"Of course." Qiao Xingnian looked at the bowls and chopsticks in the restaurant, blinked teasingly, and said, "Team Lin should clean up the bowls and chopsticks first."

Lin Nanyue walked over in embarrassment, picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and carried them to the sink.

"Aren't Team Lin planning to call the police?" Qiao Xingnian looked at the bottle of red wine on the table.

Hesitation flashed across Lin Nanyue's face, and he said, "Just give her another chance. But I won't contact her again in the future, and I won't give her another chance to get close."

After saying the previous words, Lin Nanyue always felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but add a few more sentences, as if he was afraid that Qiao Xingnian might misunderstand.

After Qiao Xingnian cleaned the tea set, he moved away from the sink, found the kettle, took some pure water, plugged it in and started to boil.

"Does Team Lin know why Zhang Qing came to you again?"

Lin Nanyue couldn't guess it now, and said, "You probably know my identity."

Qiao Xingnian jokingly said, "To be honest, I only found out about Team Lin's other identity today, and I was taken aback at the time. I didn't expect there to be such a big rich second generation by my side."

"Family is family, and I am me. I just don't want to rely on my family, so I never told anyone about it." Lin Nanyue put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink and began to wash them.

"Team Lin, you don't need to care too much about other people's opinions when you are alive. This will not only make your life very tiring, but also make the relationship between you and your family more and more distant."

Lin Nanyue was startled when he heard the words, and was silent for a long time, then he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "You're right, I don't need to alienate my family because of other people's attitudes, I was the one who got stuck before."

Qiao Xingnian jokingly said: "Team Lin has a lot of wisdom, and he can understand a little bit. If you want to consider converting to Buddhism, you will definitely become a generation of masters in the future."

Lin Nanyue turned his head to look at Qiao Xingnian, and what he saw was his side face, with perfect facial contours and exquisite facial features, making it difficult to look away.Lin Nanyue came back to his senses in a daze, looked away uncomfortably, and said, "It's fine to convert to Buddhism, I think the world of mortals is suitable for me."

Qiao Xingnian smiled, and concentrated on making tea, and the aroma of the tea spread out after a while.

Qiao Xingnian brought a tea tray to the coffee table and sat down. He poured a cup of tea for Lin Nanyue, and then poured another cup for himself.

Lin Nanyue also took a sip of tea, and his drowsy head regained consciousness a little.

"On the way home, I tentatively asked about my brother Hu Jiaxu's situation. Unexpectedly, my brother was too sensitive and became suspicious. I had to tell him that Hu Jiaxu was related to the case of the female corpse in Donghu Lake. I didn't say anything about the clues of the case."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "We went to the hospital to investigate before, and we also asked Hu Jiaxu himself. He knows that we suspect him. Even if you don't tell us, your brother will know sooner or later."

"One more thing." Qiao Xingnian drank the tea in the cup and said, "Through my chat with my brother, I suspect that Hu Jiaxu's wife, Luo Yao, was probably killed as well."

"Luo Yao?" Lin Nanyue frowned and said, "Why do you have such doubts?"

Qiao Xingnian refilled himself a cup of tea, and explained in detail the conversation he had with Jiang Mohan, as well as his own speculation, and said, "Team Lin, you should find a way to get someone to confirm Luo Yao's situation." .”

"Leave this matter to me." Lin Nanyue paused and said, "Maybe this will be a breakthrough in the whole case."

"Team Lin, we really have a good understanding. I think so too."

The speaker has no intention of listening, Lin Nanyue raised the corner of his mouth and said, "We have cooperated for a long time, and we have a tacit understanding."

Qiao Xingnian looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "Captain Lin, it's getting late, let's go to bed early, which room should I sleep in?"

Lin Nanyue pointed to the room facing the master bedroom, and said, "This is the guest room. But the sheets and quilts inside haven't been changed for a while, I'll get you a new set and change them."

"Okay, then trouble Team Lin."

Lin Nanyue took Qiao Xingnian into the guest room, took out a new sheet and quilt cover from the closet, and helped Qiao Xingnian put it on.

Qiao Xingnian lay down on the bed without hesitation, hugged the pillow and looked at Lin Nanyue, and said, "Captain Lin, you can go back to your room to rest too, good night."

Lin Nanyue glanced at Qiao Xingnian's waist that was exposed due to excessive movements, and looked away guiltily, and said, "Good night."

Lin Nanyue walked out of the guest room, closed the door casually, but did not go back to the room directly, but sat down at the coffee table again, drinking tea while sorting out his chaotic thoughts.

Qiao Xingnian sat up, chanted the spell silently, and released Liu Meng.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Liu Meng asked bluntly, "Boss, what do you need from me?"

"Do you know where Grandpa Yan Feng lives?" Qiao Xingnian asked very directly.

Liu Meng nodded and said, "I've been there once, what's the matter?"

"Been there?" Qiao Xingnian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then does his grandfather's residence have the basement you mentioned?"

"I don't know. The time I went was for Yan Feng, but Yan Feng was not there, so I left."

"Then go again and check if there is a basement where you are trapped."

"it is good."
