Miss, you are my future wife

Chapter 198 The Old Friend II
The ward was so quiet that it felt empty, except for two beds and a pot of flowers, there was nothing else.

One bed was placed against the wall, and a thin girl was lying on it, and the other bed was near the window, empty, as if waiting for the next patient to arrive.

The curtains were drawn, and only faint sunlight came in through the window, reflecting the girl's pale face.The atmosphere in the ward was a little dull, as if it was stained with a layer of gray by the breath here.

The color of the entire ward seemed a bit monotonous, almost all white and gray.There are ventilators, infusion bottles and various medical equipment hanging on the bedside, which looks deserted.

Beside the hospital bed, a woman in police uniform was sitting, looking intently asking and memorizing something.She held a small notebook in her hand, flipping through the pages from time to time.

According to the nurse, she came to visit Zhou Qi, and she might have to interrogate her.In this light-colored ward, her dark blue police uniform is particularly eye-catching.

Xiao Yao remembered that Zhou Qi was a well-proportioned girl, neither tall nor short, about 1.6 meters five.She used to be a cute girl, but at this moment, she is so thin that even her chin has become a little pointed.

Zhou Qi's face was pale, with a sickly glow, her eyes were sunken, but they were still clear and bright, her eyebrows were thick and slightly arched, making her look very energetic.

At this time, she was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, which looked very thin.There is a needle tube inserted in her wrist, and she is infusing an unknown fluid.

The female police officer noticed that someone was coming, and turned her head to glance at the door. Xiao Yao and Yu Bo wanted to avoid it, but apparently failed.The female police officer closed her notebook and stood up, leaned over and whispered something in Zhou Qi's ear, walked to the door, and opened it.

She was wearing a pair of sunglasses commonly worn by traffic police, so she couldn't see her face clearly, and she also wore a pair of white thin silk gloves-indoors, such a dress looked a little strange.

The female police officer and the nurse said hello and said goodbye, then ignored the three of Xiao Yao, passed them, and left the ward.

When her figure disappeared at the corner of the corridor, Yu Bo looked back.

I, Brother Bo, am not my kind of disciple who would look back at passing beauties, Xiao Yao thought to himself.

Isn't spring in Bogo coming?
Unfortunately, priests cannot marry.

"Xiao Yao..." After Zhou Qi recognized the person who came, his eyes flashed with strange excitement, and he struggled to sit up.

"Zhou Qi, lie down." Yu Luying, who was treated as air, stepped forward quickly and held Zhou Qi's arm.

"Xiao Yao." A voice came from behind the boy: "Come with me."

Xiao Yao turned around in bewilderment and looked at Yu Bo.

"Yingying, you talk to your classmates, and we will come whenever we go." After Yu Bo gave his instructions concisely, he picked up Xiao Yao's arm and walked towards the door of the ward.

Yayongdie Yayongdie, what are you doing, let me go...

Xiao Yao followed the ashen-faced Yu Bo step by step, shuttling through the quiet corridor of the inpatient department.The boy asked Yu Bo what he was going to do, but the latter ignored him, and then only the sound of two people's messy footsteps echoed in the corridor.

The two chased out of the lobby on the first floor of the inpatient department, but the policewoman was already out of sight.

While looking around, I suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle engine.

The two looked around and saw a person with short hair starting a motorcycle—she had already taken off her hat and police uniform jacket, revealing a water blue long-sleeved shirt underneath .

If it weren't for the conspicuous pair of sunglasses and the out-of-date white gloves, Xiao Yao would have almost regarded her as an irrelevant man.

The motorcycle is said to be a motorcycle, but it is not the big motorcycle used by the police. It is just a small 50cc pedal light bike. The class leader Chen Lu has a similar bike and rides it to and from school every day.

The policewoman's little Qingqi drove out of the gate of the hospital slowly, while Yu Bo ran all the way to his car and opened the driver's door.

"Quick." Yu Bo urged, while Xiao Yao got into the passenger seat out of breath.

"Did you fall in love with him? You don't have to do this, do you?" Xiao Yao said, then leaned back suddenly, and stuck to the back of the chair.

Yu Bo slammed on the accelerator and left the hospital, and wasted time paying the money. When he drove to the main road, the policewoman had disappeared.

The priest chose a direction with his intuition, and chased after a traffic light—fortunately, the slow little scooter once again came into view of the two of them.

"Drive the car up, and roll down the window on my side, and I'll strike up a conversation for you and ask for a phone call." Xiao Yao suggested.

"What the hell is on your mind?" Yu Bo slowed down his driving, and finally had the time to explain: "I'm afraid this policeman is a fake."

"Fake? How can you see it?" Xiao Yao said disapprovingly, "Just because she came out and took off her police uniform, do the police have to drive a police car?"

"The criminal police have rules in handling cases, you don't know," Yu Bo stared at Qingqi's license plate number, "When the public security organs conduct inquiries, identification, inspections, inspections, and implement administrative coercive measures and other investigations and evidence collection, the people's police Not less than two people."

"Oh yes," Xiao Yao recalled the film and television dramas he had watched: "There must be a partner."

"Of course a police car is not necessary," Yu Bo continued, "but I still have some contacts in the criminal police team in Beihong District. As far as I know, there are not many female policemen in the criminal police team who are on duty. --no such person."

"Oh?" Xiao Yao also became excited: "This is a bad guy. He rides a motorcycle and doesn't show his true colors. Could it be the motorcycle girl who is active with the Earl of Nottington?"

"It's very possible," Yu Bo said, "It's been a month since Zhou Qi's case, and the matter has reached an official conclusion.

"Aren't there stories in novels where cases are often closed, but police officers with a sense of justice can't allow the truth to be covered up and conduct independent investigations?" Xiao Yao retorted.

Yu Bo showed an expression of "You can't be serious", and was about to speak, but the "motor girl" stopped at the entrance of an alley, got off the car and put down the legs, turned the key to the left, and pulled it out. Get down and kick it into your pocket.

The priest parked the car on the side of the road, and led Xiao Yao into the alley in a hurry.

There is a stone plaque above the entrance of the Shikumen complex, with the three characters "Baohuali" engraved in official script on it, which seems to be decades old.

The wall on the side was painted dark green, and the uneven bluestone pavement was under the feet.Adjacent to this Shikumen is a supply and marketing service agency. There is a rusty iron gate at the door, which looks old.

Like all the old alleys in Shanghai, the entrance of this "Baohuali" is also an area for public toilets and spittoons, and there is an area on the ground that has been soaked in sewage for thousands of years.

Xiao Yao and the priest walked through this small "living area" on tiptoe holding their noses, and walked into Baohuali, biting the back of the motorcyclist tightly.

The motorcycle girl walked into the twisted and twisted Shikumen, where fish and dragons were mixed together, and seemed to be very familiar with the residents here.

Wearing a big vest, the skinny old man and the fat old lady sat on small benches or reclining chairs, lined up on both sides of the alley, and greeted the motorbike girl in dialect outside their own homes.

Naturally, the motorcycle girl also greeted each of them warmly.

Xiao Yao and Yu Bo glanced at each other, the tension in their hearts gradually escalated, and they continued to follow at a distance.

Finally, the motorcyclist turned into a side road with few people.

The branches of this alley looked dilapidated and messy, with no people in sight, and the surrounding Shikumen gates were closed tightly, and it was unknown whether there were people living there.The bluestone slabs on the ground have also been worn a lot, making creaking noises when walking.

Wait, the crunch?

The motorcycle girl stopped suddenly.

Xiao Yao's heart skipped a beat—was it discovered?
The two quickly stepped back and hid back at the corner they just came from.

There was no movement for a while, Yu Bo took a peek outside, and found that there was no one in the corridor, and the motorcycle girl disappeared without a trace.

"Oops!" Yu Bo was impatient, and ran out by himself, trying to find the biker girl.

Xiao Yao suddenly had an ominous premonition at this time, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the corridor where he came, but it was still empty there.

Just when he was about to turn back to find Yu Bo, someone hit the back of his neck hard.

Before losing consciousness, he heard Yu Bo exclaiming his name, and a strange and hoarse voice asked, "Whose subordinates are you?"

……

Fortunately, Xiao Yao didn't pass out for too long. When he woke up, he saw Yu Bo posing and confronting the motorcycle girl with his back turned to him.

However, judging from the dust on his body and the wound on his face, the battle was not going well for him.

Xiao Yao realized that the motorcycle girl hadn't noticed him now.

He didn't make a sound, and after exchanging glances with Yu Bo, he first looked around and touched a wooden square.

100% pick up guys when I need to fight, God help me too!

However, isn't it a violation of chivalry to cheat and attack from behind like this?

Seeing that Xiao Yao was ready, Yu Bo made a gesture to attack her left side.

Alas, forget it this time.

Xiao Yao jumped up violently and slammed at her right side with a wooden swing.

The motorcycle girl seemed to have seen Yu Bo's details clearly in the previous fight, and she was very arrogant, and did not take any response to Yu Bo's attack.

When the wooden cube that Xiao Yao swung was about to hit, she suddenly turned around and blocked it with her arms.

Under Xiao Yao's full strength, the wooden square hit the motorcycle girl's right arm heavily, and then exploded at the place where the force was applied, breaking into a piece of wood and two short pieces of wood.

You are Astro Boy!
But the motorcycle girl seemed to be okay, she punched Xiao Yao down with her left fist.

Yu Bo didn't miss the chance, an uppercut hit the motorcycle girl's left rib, and then he stabbed her in the face with a straight fist.

The motorcycle girl staggered after taking a punch in her left rib, and tried her best to adjust her body, but she still couldn't escape Yu Bo's straight punch.

This punch hit the corner of the right eye, and the sunglasses were shattered, leaving a bloodstain.

She took a few steps back quickly, touched her waist with her left hand, and revealed an... electric baton?

Yu Bo frowned, not because he was afraid of the batons, but because he saw the appearance of the motorcycle girl clearly.

He exclaimed in disbelief: "You are, Liang Yanan? You're back? It's me, Yu Bo?"

"..." The motorcycle girl took out another pair of ordinary glasses from her pocket and put them on, stepped forward a few steps, suddenly raised her hand and punched Yu Bo on the shoulder, and said angrily, "You brat! My discoloration Mirrors are very expensive! You are assaulting the police!"

"Obviously you are the first..."

--split line--

When Xiao Yao returned to the door of Zhou Qi's ward, the setting sun had already stretched its trail in this desire-filled steel jungle.

The entire ward corridor was shrouded in a soft orange-yellow halo.

As the light penetrated, the halo gradually became elegant and soft. Looking along the corridor, every corner was rendered extraordinarily bright by the sunlight.In this quiet interweaving of light and shadow, every detail of the wall, floor and ceiling appears extremely clear, and every inch of space seems to be dotted with countless subtle bright spots.

"Where's my uncle?" Yu Luying walked out of the door of the ward, closed the door gently, and put her index finger on her upper and lower lips.

"He went to eat and drink with his old friend." Xiao Yao replied.

"?" Yu Luying gave Xiao Yao a hard look: "Say it!"

"He invited an old acquaintance to eat and drink." Xiao Yao replied.

"Why did you two go there just now?" Yu Luying asked again: "Why are you fighting outside again?"

"Assaulted the police." Xiao Yao replied.

"?"

Before Yu Luying got angry, Xiao Yao told Yu Luying everything that happened just now.

"This way..." Yu Luying half-clenched her pink fist and smashed her pointed chin: "Do you know that I suddenly passed out just now, and Zhou Qi almost called a nurse for me..."

"I'm sorry." Xiao Yao said distressedly.

"Forget it, it was uncle who pulled you." Yu Luying pouted.

"How was your chat with Zhou Qi?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying, "How did she get into Lao Yao's palace?"

"No, I don't know, I just chatted about some daily life." Yu Luying said with some frustration: "She has been pretending to be confused with me, go try and see if you can pry her mouth open."

"?" Xiao Yao said, "How do you make me look like a bad guy?"

"Who knows, you can just chat with her, I'm going to eat." Yu Luying said, raising her leg to drive away from Missi.

"Hey, hey," Xiao Yao called to her from behind, "Bring me something to eat."

"Understood." The girl in a royal blue dress and socks said without turning her head.

What's the matter with this lonely man and widow?

Although a place like a ward can be regarded as half a public place?

Xiao Yao muttered to himself, hesitated for a while, but still gently pushed open the door of the ward.

His eyes fell on the girl on the hospital bed—the latter was leaning quietly on the pillow, staring out the window with a pair of clear and bright eyes.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her soft hair, reflecting her delicate face softly and warmly.She didn't seem to know that someone was coming in beside her, and she was still immersed in her own world, as if she was thinking about something important.

"Cough, cough." Xiao Yao coughed twice in embarrassment: "Hello."

His eyes did not fall on the girl, but on the fruits and flowers on the bedside table, which were brought by Yu's uncle and nephew just now.

"They're here." Zhou Qi said looking out the window.

"?"

"Xiao Yao, hello." Zhou Qi turned his head and looked at Xiao Yao quietly, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Uh, hello." Xiao Yao said "Hello" again in embarrassment.

Zhou Qi burst out laughing "puchi".

What the hell are you doing... Xiao Yao thought angrily.

"You, how are you lately?" Xiao Yao asked out of words.

Nonsense, they are all lying in the hospital, of course it is not good.

Before Zhou Qi could answer, Xiao Yao asked again, "Have you felt better recently? When did you wake up?"

"I woke up, about a week or so," Zhou Qi raised his knees under the snow-white quilt to form two hills: "I feel... much better, and I should be discharged from the hospital soon, right?"

"That's good, that's good." Xiao Yao nodded repeatedly.

There was another awkward silence in the air.

"I didn't expect you to see me before I was discharged from the hospital." After Zhou Qi said this, he immediately added an explanation: "I mean, I am very happy that you can come."

"I'm also very happy." Xiao Yao's mouth was bald, and he said this.

Really, what are you talking about?

And this lingering, damned ambiguous atmosphere, what the hell is going on?
I must be overthinking it!Feeling too good about yourself?
Xiao Yao looked away uncomfortably, looking at the dusk outside the window.

"That," after he turned his eyes back to the hospital bed again, he was surprised to find that the girl was kneeling on the bed and bent down: "Thank you, I'm sorry."

Xiao Yao subconsciously took two steps forward, stretching out his hands to help him up, but the girl didn't know whether it was on purpose or because she was exhausted, she let out a "whisper", and her body softened, and she fell straight down towards Xiao Yao.

The young man turned pale with fright, only feeling that there was a ball of warm cotton in his arms, and subconsciously wanted to push her away or take three steps back, but worried that Zhou Qi, who would lose his support, rolled out of bed directly on his head. Time froze in place, not knowing what to do.
