Tiger Police

Chapter 54 Jealousy
It's not out of reserve or arrogance, but because the way of "blind date" makes Su Xiaolin feel very embarrassed.Especially in such an occasion and environment, it is impossible to talk about further understanding with the other party.

The mother was very worried about her marriage, nagging all day long, "Hurry up and get married, I can take care of your children while I still have the energy."

To put it bluntly, in fact, she desperately wanted a grandson.

My father felt that everything should go with the flow.

Su Xiaolin swears to God: Today, she took the initiative to ask Hu Pingtao and Adrian to come to the gym to avoid Dong Zhiheng's entanglement, and there is no other meaning at all.

But looking at Hu Pingtao who had sparred with Adrian on the boxing ring, the strong and swollen muscles on his arms, the flexible steps between dodging and moving, the fierce and powerful punches time and time again, and the strength that was clearly not as strong as the opponent's. The tenacious determination to not admit defeat in the slightest made Su Xiaolin feel an unknown strange feeling spreading and growing in her heart.

In high school and college, many boys deliberately showed their physical fitness in front of her.Mostly members of the basketball and football teams, who at the time were scrambling to put on the "Number Ten" jersey and attract her attention with their intricate and dazzling moves.

In Su Xiaolin's view, it is not so much a sports competition as it is a children's game.The sense of deliberation is too strong, like a male peacock courting a mate, eager to unfold its beautiful tail feathers.

The discussion between Hu Pingtao and Adrian was completely different from those boys.Su Xiaolin watched the fight for more than an hour with relish.That's not acting, it's tit for tat, not giving an inch.

She likes Hu Pingtao very much, but just like him.

Adrian is a narrow-minded person, the last sentence he said was terrible, and it lifted the barrier film that firmly covered the "love" thinking in the depths of Su Xiaolin's mind.

At this moment, the awkward silence between the two of them made her think of more.

Although this trip was arranged by the leader, it has a strong direction and pertinence.The identities of the accompanying guests are there. In other words, those who are eligible to sit in these two minibuses are all elites in the industry.

Su Xiaolin knew that Hu Pingtao was an attache arranged by the provincial department.If it is not for the outstanding ability in all aspects, it will not be entrusted with important tasks.

Su Xiaolin's proud English was completely crushed in front of Hu Pingtao.

And he is fluent in French.

In the car, the narration of the history of the ancient Dian Kingdom shows that he has dabbled in the cultural level.Maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg, more parts have not yet been shown, and all the eyes can see are ice floes on the sea.

Being able to fight, speak, and have a formal and stable job... these alone are enough for Su Xiaolin.

She couldn't help taking Hu Pingtao as a benchmark in her heart, comparing with those blind dates she knew before.

Some people are better than him in individual conditions, but their overall conditions are far worse.

Adrian's last move pushed Hu Pingtao very close to Su Xiaolin.Two people face each other, with the tip of their noses no more than twenty centimeters apart.

He was wearing a short-sleeved sweatshirt and shorts. His bare arms and thighs were bulging and bulging, with clear outlines and hard lines.The sweat on his forehead was still wet, and the roots of his hair were wet, and the salty smell mixed with masculinity was so strong.

This smell stimulated Su Xiaolin's heart to flutter.

She quickly lowered her head, turned her face slightly to the side, and took several deep breaths.Without raising her hand to touch it, she also knew that her cheeks were hot and surprisingly hot.The shame that cannot be expressed in words is displayed from the inside of the body without reservation.

She wants to escape.

I also want time to freeze forever like this.

Hu Pingtao felt similar to her.

He talked to several girls in college, but for various reasons, he didn't follow up.

After graduating and working, there is absolute freedom in this kind of thing.It is difficult even for parents to interfere.

He had a good impression of Su Xiaolin.

The heart that had been silent for a long time suddenly became restless.

Hu Pingtao smiled, showing his neat and white teeth: "Let's go out for dinner!"

Without even thinking about it, Su Xiaolin opened her mouth and answered, "Okay."

The moment she blurted out, she already sensed something was wrong.

But so what?
Looking at the handsome smiling face opposite, Su Xiaolin had the urge to "go crazy".

……

Hu Pingtao is very familiar with the tourist city of Dali.

His parents have acquaintances and friends here, and he has come and played with him many times, and he is familiar with some famous restaurants and restaurants, and the local specialties are also familiar.

"Yihuchun" is a restaurant with a good reputation.A typical farm courtyard of the Bai nationality, decorated in a quiet and elegant style, very delicate.

Hu Pingtao ordered some familiar dishes.

The hot and sour fish made with fresh crucian carp has a unique flavor.This dish is also available in other places, but the ingredients vary greatly.Dali uses white papaya here, which has a very sour taste and a strong fruity aroma.The special condiments are big coriander and lemongrass, local dishes and local flavors, only the ones eaten here are authentic.

In Yunnan Province, whitebait is an introduced species.The source species is Taihu whitebait, which was successfully introduced later and has been stocked in Dianchi Lake, Erhai Lake and other places.This kind of fish is fat, short in body, soft in bone, white in color and smooth in color, and extremely delicious in taste.Yunnan Province is located on a plateau with good water quality. Before the high-speed railway was put into operation, many train crews in the north would go to the vegetable market to buy whitebait in their spare time.First, the quality of whitebait in Yunnan Province is high, and second, the price is cheap.

This restaurant has a unique way of making whitebait. It is not the usual fried egg, but it is mixed with white ginseng, eggs and seasonings, mixed with a certain proportion of soy milk, and steamed in a pan.When it is brought to the table, it is a large smooth and tender bowl, sprinkled with green onion on the surface, it is delicious just by looking at it.

"Water-based Yanghua" is a special dish of Dali.Although the name is quite controversial, the ingredients are a kind of sea vegetables unique to Erhai Lake.Wash, cut into sections, add tofu and cook to make soup.Crisp, tender and smooth in the mouth, complemented by deep-fried crispy shrimp, it is endless aftertaste.

Dali is rich in plums, and the local carved plums are a must, sweet and sour.There are many kinds of green plum wine, and Hu Pingtao specially ordered a jug of sweet wine with low alcohol content, which turned transparent amber when poured into a bowl.Su Xiaolin liked it very much, and even drank two big bowls. Hu Pingtao controlled the quantity and did not dare to let her drink more, but she was already slightly tipsy.

Su Xiaolin felt that the meal was very enjoyable, and after drinking some wine, she also became lively and detached.

Leaving "Yihuchun", the two were wandering on the street, looking at the distinctive ancient city buildings on both sides, she suddenly became interested, took Hu Pingtao's hand, ran into a shop selling ethnic costumes on the side of the road, pointed Haggle with shopkeepers for fancy items.

Buying is not the purpose, bargaining is the essence.

For the first time in his life, Hu Pingtao felt the horror of going shopping with girls—his hands were quickly full of bags, and he also had to bear the burden of Su Xiaolin's body that clung to him from time to time.

She did drink too much, although her mind was sober, she let herself go.

Hu Pingtao took her hand boldly.

Su Xiaolin's arm trembled slightly, and she retracted her hand towards her, but she didn't break free.

Everything is so natural.

Of course, the bottom line that must be adhered to has not been crossed, and more importantly, shopping is paid for by yourself.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the two began to fold their heads and walked towards the hotel.

Suddenly, a voice full of anger and shock came from behind.

"Xiaolin...you...why are you here?"

It's Dong Zhiheng.He had just walked out of a bar by the side of the road, fixed his eyes on Su Xiaolin with surprise, and then quickly shifted to Hu Pingtao.

In just a short moment, Dong Zhiheng had countless muddy horses galloping past in Dong Zhiheng's mind.

When he got off at the hotel at noon, he took the initiative to ask Su Xiaolin out to go shopping and eat.But she said that she would go to the gym with Guo Lingyu and the Frenchman.

This excuse was impeccable, and it was also for work, so Dong Zhiheng had no choice but to give up.

The window of the bar is facing the street. When the two passed by, Dong Zhiheng thought he had made a mistake, but he rubbed his eyes and found that it was indeed Su Xiaolin. He hurriedly chased it out, but saw a scene that shocked him extremely.

Su Xiaolin, who is usually well-behaved and innocent, actually holds Hu Pingtao's hand.And looking at her current appearance, it was obvious that she had drunk wine, her cheeks were flushed, exuding the brilliance and charm soaked in alcohol.

"Director, we... have just had dinner, and now we are going back to the hotel." Although Su Xiaolin felt a little drunk, her mind was not muddled.She quickly let go of Hu Pingtao's hand, and greeted Dong Zhiheng with a smile.

Dong Zhiheng's eyes widened and he was almost dumbfounded.

He had Su Xiaolin's idea in mind from the very beginning, otherwise he would not have used his authority to make her an entourage.In Dong Zhiheng's view, although he has been divorced, he has a house and a car, and has a formal job and position. He should be regarded as a real mutant diamond king.Just like what a host of an entertainment show said: Middle-aged men are the most attractive, and they are the best match for bright girls like flowers.

Dong Zhiheng is determined to take Su Xiaolin down.He even planned to have a good talk with the personnel department after returning this time, and get Su Xiaolin into his department as a direct subordinate.The closer to the water, the better the moon, and the more contacts there will be more opportunities.Although his age is more than ten years older than Su Xiaolin, in his opinion, this is not a problem.

Who would have thought that there would be a tiger Pingtao.

Seeing the closeness of the two, Dong Zhiheng was angry and impatient, but he had no right to speak on this issue.After all, Su Xiaolin has never accepted any gift from herself, and she has never made any promises about the relationship between the two.

"...You...you don't have a boyfriend?" After holding back for a long time, Dong Zhiheng gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and tried his best to keep his tone as calm and stable as possible.

"Yeah! I don't have a boyfriend."

Su Xiaolin's nerves are relatively large, and her reaction is relatively slow under alcohol anesthesia.Seeing Dong Zhiheng's distorted face, she felt baffled, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Hu Pingtao who was standing next to her, and quickly explained: "I am Pingtao's friend...well, ordinary friends."

Eating and drinking can bring you closer.When they came out of the restaurant, they called each other "Ping Tao" and "Lin Lin".

This appellation, which Su Xiaolin felt was normal, aroused Dong Zhiheng's anger even more.

Nima!You're so intimate, and you still say you don't have a boyfriend?
Watching this scene, Hu Pingtao suddenly felt very funny.

He held Su Xiaolin's hand naturally, and said lightly: "It's too late, you should go back and rest."
