deep white secret

Chapter 119 There is no difference in people’s hearts
After walking out of the hospital, Ningxia felt sorry for Yang Meilan and remained silent.

Xu Jie drove, knowing that Ningxia didn't want to wander outside, so he returned directly to Ningxia's home.

As the car drove into the community, Ning Xia smiled apologetically at Xu Jie:

"Captain Xu, don't be angry. Mom asked me to take you out to play. I should take you around Qing'an City, but I'm not in the mood."

Xu Jie stretched out his big hand and messed up Ning Xia's hair:

"Is there a boxing gym here? If you want, I can accompany you."

Ningxia held Xu Jie's hand tightly and placed it on her cheek:

"No, I want to go home."

"Feel sorry for mom?"

In Xu Jie's heart, Ning Xia was strong and calm. After falling in love, she would occasionally behave like a little girl, but only in front of him. Xu Jie rarely saw Ning Xia shed tears.

This time was different. After arriving in Qing'an City, Ningxia's emotions had been fluctuating. This allowed Xu Jie to see another side of Ningxia. There was a soft heart behind her strong character.

"Well, it hurts a lot here."

Ningxia patted her heart, tears flashing:

"I was only nine years old when my dad left home on a mission. In fact, my mother often worked overtime as she does now, but in my impression, she was always smiling. I didn't know that behind the scenes, my mother had to bear so much."

Xu Jie also felt sad and sad in his heart.

"At that time, my mother was still working the night shift. She worked hard and was insulted. What's the point?"

Xu Jie didn't want Ningxia to struggle with this issue, so he changed the subject and asked:

"Auntie is on night shift, what should you do?"

"When I was young, I followed my mother. I did my homework and slept in the duty room. After junior high school, I was at home by myself."

Xu Jie hugged Ning Xia distressedly and said with emotion:
"It turns out that behind your strength is your early self-reliance."

Ning Xia burst into tears and smiled, her eyes sparkling, she raised her head in Xu Jie's arms and said softly:

"I have always thought that I am invincible, calm and decisive, but after seeing my mother today, I feel very sad. I simply cannot bear the misunderstanding and grievance."

Xu Jie's big hands were stroking Ning Xia's hair, and gently patted her on the back. Ning Xia's mood gradually calmed down.

"Captain Xu, I think it's so hard for my mother. She has always been smiling in front of me and caring for her patients. I think all the people who have been cured by her will be grateful to her."

"But I saw today that things are not like this. There are still people who turn their backs and disown you, and even use the most malicious hostility against you. What's wrong with this world?"

Xu Jie pressed his chin against Ning Xia's cheek and said slowly:

"Like when we investigate cases, do those who commit crimes have the most heinous crimes? Isn't it inevitable that some people will turn to crime, and the victims must be pitiful? No, they may have done something that is harmful to nature."

"Ningxia, there is no difference in people's hearts, but we have seen the evil side. Everyone will be born, old, sick and die, and not everyone can go to this evil step."

Ning Xia looked at Xu Jie thoughtfully, savoring his words...

Throughout the afternoon, Ningxia washed clothes, mopped the floor, and tidied up the house. Xu Jie was also good at housework. It took the two of them three hours to make the house look brand new.

Ning Xia went to the florist to buy a large bouquet of carnations. When the flowers bloomed, Ning Xia's mood improved.

"Finally tidy up, and my mother will be in a better mood when she comes back and sees all this."

Seeing the sheets flying in the sun, Xu Jie sat comfortably on the sofa, and as far as he could see, he saw a photo in the glass cabinet next to the TV.

Ningxia followed Xu Jie's gaze and looked at the glass cabinet, then walked slowly over and took out the photo. Xu Jie realized what it was and stood up respectfully.

Ning Xia stared at the photo for a while, then handed it to Xu Jie:

"My Father."

Xu Jie took it with both hands. The photo was a half-length frontal photo. The man in the photo was in his 30s and was wearing a police uniform.

The man looked at the camera with firm eyes and a smile on his face, calm and humble.

"Pay tribute to our predecessors."

Xu Jie said slowly with a choked voice.

After staring at the photo for a while, Xu Jie felt that Ningxia looked more like his father.

Ning Xia's firm and brave aura is exactly the same as the man in the photo.

Ningxia took it with a smile, her eyes burning:
"My mother only showed this photo after I was admitted to the police academy. I know she loves my father very much."

After pondering for a long time, Ning Xia suddenly smiled and said:
"Captain Xu, last night I told my mother that she could find me an uncle."

Xu Jie was a little surprised.

"But you know what? Mother said she couldn't have another person in her heart."

Ning Xia said, remembering that Yang Meilan compared her relationship with Xu Jie last night.

Ningxia understands Yang Meilan's feelings, the most important man in her heart will never be replaced by another man.

The three of them had dinner at the most famous West Island Lake Restaurant in Qing'an City.

As the name suggests, Xidao Lake Restaurant is located on the bank of Xidao Lake, a famous scenic spot in Qing'an City. There are parks, fitness parks, and fishing spots along the lake. It is also one of the restaurants with the best atmosphere in Qing'an City.

The restaurant is connected to the lakeshore by a short section of artificial wooden plank road, which is equivalent to being above the lake. On the opposite side are the rolling mountains, with excellent scenery.

During this trip, Xu Jie learned more about Ningxia and wanted to take good care of this girl.

After arriving at the restaurant, Xu Jie chose a seat and ordered food, waiting only for Yang Meilan to arrive.

Xu Jie has already made plans. After returning to Jinghai City, he will find a time to have his parents come over to meet Ning Xia and give this girl a home as soon as possible.

Yang Meilan did not delay this time and arrived at the restaurant on time at six o'clock.

After sitting down, Yang Meilan smiled and said:
"You can go back tomorrow if you have nothing to do, Xu Jie, I urge you to go back, don't think too much."

"No, no, auntie is considerate, but you have to pay attention to your health after we go back. Ningxia is very worried about you."

Yang Meilan shook her head and looked at Ningxia:
"What's there to worry about? A troublesome patient makes you so unconfident in your mother? No matter what happens, there is a solution. Don't worry."

Ningxia disagrees with Yang Meilan’s statement:
"To solve a problem is to solve the problem. You have to bear all the painful emotions in the process of solving the problem alone. I feel sorry for you!"

Yang Meilan smiled and didn't want to argue, so she jokingly told Xu Jie:

"At work, if this girl is so serious, you can criticize her for me."

"No, Ningxia is doing very well."

The waiter brought the dishes in time. Ning Xia pouted at Yang Meilan dissatisfiedly, and Yang Meilan smiled easily.

At the same time, Yang Meilan also discovered one thing: there were no carrots in any of the dishes.

"Ningxia, are you avoiding all dishes containing carrots now?"

Ning Xia chuckled and explained lightly:
"Captain Xu likes carrots and he is willing to share them with me."

"And someone who speaks so highly of picky eaters?"

Xu Jie was infected by Yang Meilan's smile and looked at Ning Xia with burning eyes.

Yang Meilan took a sip of water and sighed:

"If you don't come back, I miss you. Come back. If you stay for just one day, I will drive you away."

"mom!"

Ning Xia puffed up her face with anger and handed Yang Meilan a large piece of fish.

"Where did you take Xu Jie to play today?"

"Did not play."

"You didn't take Xu Jie out to play?"

Yang Meilan doesn’t quite believe it:
"Stay home for the day?"

"Yeah, but Team Xu and I are cleaning up the house. A few screws in the cabinets were loose. Team Xu fixed them. The light bulb in the foyer was broken. Team Xu replaced it..."

Yang Meilan stopped at the right time:

"You kid, why did you let Xu Jie come to our house to do housework?"

"We don't really like to go out on weekdays. We work day and night when investigating cases, and we just want to stay at home during our breaks."

Yang Meilan shook her head helplessly and said to Xu Jie:
"Come again next time, Auntie will find time to accompany you around. Although Qing'an City is not so prosperous, the natural scenery is still very good."

The three of them were sitting facing the lake, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the lake like tumbling brocade.

Yang Meilan told many things about Ningxia's childhood. Xu Jie listened carefully and experienced Ningxia's growth. He looked at her from time to time, with unbreakable love in his eyes.

When Yang Meilan mentioned that Ningxia wanted to be admitted to the police academy, suddenly there was a commotion at the door of the restaurant and shouts could be heard.

The three people looked for a voice and a waiter ran in from outside in a panic.

The waiter walked to the front desk and picked up the phone. He held the counter with both hands and looked like he was about to faint. After the call was connected, the waiter's voice trembled:

"Hello? 110? This is Xidaohu Restaurant... Yes, a body was just found..."

Professional sensitivity and responsibility made Ning Xia and Xu Jie stand up at the same time.
