Chapter 43: What a scarcity of life without expectations
…………………………………………
The SUV was driving at a steady speed on the way back. Officer Xiao Jiang was particularly silent today. He didn't do anything except driving seriously. I don't know if it was because the older police officer next to him had reprimanded him.
Lao Zhang was still in the passenger seat. His eyes were cloudy but somewhat profound. He was silently scrolling through photos on his phone.
From the scene of the disaster to casualties, to... Wang Mengmeng's shrinking figure on the No. 45 bus, although there is a lot of content, there is always time to finish it.
For a long time, he rubbed his chin with his rough palm, looked at someone through the rearview mirror, and said softly with a thoughtful look: "Use your identity as a police officer to create pressure, and then let Li Shiqing use a girl's empathy to knock on the person."
Break her heart."
"You think too much~"
Lu Ming laughed silently and looked at the time: 11:45. It seemed that the car would never return to the police station. He didn't know why Officer Xiao Jiang drove so slowly.
"I don't mean anything else."
Lao Zhang smiled gently, as if he had figured something out, "I just want to say that you really have the potential to be a police officer."
"If your next cycle operation is successful, after all this is settled, have you considered becoming a police officer to help more people?"
In the last ten minutes, Lao Zhang did not doubt the meaning of the cycle for the first time in his words. He asked the man behind him in a serious tone with a hint of exploration and discussion.
"I didn't think about it! I didn't want to!"
Lu Ming replied without thinking. After a pause, he seemed to feel that his attitude was inappropriate. He patted the older police officer on the shoulder again, "Actually, I have passed the police academy before and was admitted, but
Later, due to some special reasons, I did not go there; for a while, I regretted it very much, and then when I was so infected by this big dye vat, I slowly learned to let go."
"I'm not a good person now, and of course I don't think I'm a bad person. I can do things that are easy to do when the road is rough, but if you want me to do it every day, I will sacrifice my life for it."
He looked at Lao Zhang's cloudy yet shrewd eyes and smiled, "Maybe it's because I didn't experience the years when my outlook on life was shaped in the police academy, so I really feel tired."
"……I see."
After Lao Zhang rubbed his chin for a while, he nodded slightly.
What do you unserstand?
Lu Ming sat back, curled his lips, and glanced at Officer Xiao Jiang, and sure enough, he saw that his grip on the steering wheel had loosened slightly.
If it weren't for the fact that the driver was your apprentice and he was working as a public servant, you think I wouldn't want to...
"I think someone is lazy by nature and loves to eat and do nothing."
Li Shiqing crossed her arms, looked up at the skylight, and said softly.
Obviously the person who knows someone best is the girl sitting next to him.
"Haha, you guessed it right."
Lu Ming gently poked her arm and chuckled.
Li Shiqing turned her head and looked at him, as if she had thought of something. The moment when she was jumped on the bus for the first time, maybe it was the first time she saw those clean but playful eyes.
"Life without expectations is so lacking. Not everything will be rewarded, that's the truth of life. Only when you see life clearly and are willing to work hard is love." The girl said to the boy next to her with a preachy and inexplicable meaning.
"You're right, I think the same thing~"
This was the first time someone didn't contradict the girl next to him.
…
"By the way...what are some special reasons?"
Li Shiqing suddenly frowned in thought, then looked at someone with an interested look on her face.
"This one~"
An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Lu Ming's mouth, as if he was recalling the good times of the past.
"Is it a woman?"
Li Shiqing looked at someone's subconscious smile, and for some reason her heart tightened.
"woman?"
Lu Ming glanced sideways at the slightly clenched hands. He seemed to have thought of something and nodded affirmatively, "Yes! She is a woman, a very beautiful woman. I have only seen her in this life!"
His eyes were full of smiles, as if he had returned to the 18-year-old woman who had never cooked before cooking a table of meals for herself at her coming-of-age ceremony...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"I don't know how my mother is doing~ I have only eaten my mother's cooking once in my life, and I didn't expect it to be so delicious. However, my father's cooking was terrible. I don't know how my mother usually cooks.
Can you eat it?"
"Thinking of my dad, I wonder if his mistress plan was successful? Every time I go out to wash my feet, my mom catches me. Is there a timer installed on my body? It's too bad. My dad... tsk tsk, I
You can’t live like this~”
Someone was immersed in memories throughout the whole process and began to reminisce about old events with a smile on his face. He didn't notice at all that a girl next to him had a look that wanted to kill someone, and he could no longer control it.
Suddenly he thought of something again, and frowned slightly, "Oh no, I'm so damn dead, my parents don't know how to open a trumpet, right? That's not right, they are in Hawaii now, and they won't necessarily give it to them in a year."
I called twice, but they still don’t know anything about me... I’m just a left-behind child~"
"that……"
A hesitant voice came from the side. Lu Ming turned his head and looked over. He saw that Li Shiqing had been struggling for a long time but still looked at him seriously and asked, "Is she... your first love?"
"First love?"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head wildly. He didn't have an Oedipus complex. What the hell was this?
Not first love?
Is it a secret love or unrequited love?
Lu scumbag, oh no, Lu Ming, how can he be so affectionate? He has never even been in love, yet he is so devoted to someone and gave up the opportunity to go to the police academy?
...Looks like I’ll have to call her Lu Chiqing from now on~
I don't know if he has forgotten her now... but judging from the expression on his face just now... he probably hasn't forgotten her...
Li Shiqing frowned in thought, her expression was strange, inexplicable, and a little tangled.
"Li Shiqing?!"
Lu Ming looked at the face of someone who seemed to be a little regretful, entangled, and relieved, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Holmes came online, reached out and touched her forehead, then moved his head slightly closer, and lowered his voice and said in her ear,
"That person...is my mother~"
After saying that, he quickly straightened his sitting posture and looked at someone with interest, preparing to appreciate the management of local changes in human expression.
As a time traveler, in order not to appear abrupt, he must maintain a spirit of hard work and improvement.
"..."
Li Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red in the next second. Then she turned her head and looked at someone who looked like a gentleman discussing and researching. She instantly realized that she had been tricked, and her face turned blue and white.
"Tsk, tsk, his expression changes five times in a second, instantly showing a person's psychological changes with mixed emotions~"
Lu Ming was doing the analysis carefully beside him, and at the end he couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a graduate from the acting department~"
"ah!!!"
"Lu scumbag, go to hell!!!"
Someone could no longer restrain himself, and someone was beaten up again. The two police officers, the young and the older police officers in the front row, looked at each other and smiled. In the last minute and second before 12 o'clock in the morning, the car was filled with laughter.
, playing and having fun.
……………………
The warm sunshine, the glass many times thicker than spectacle lenses, and of course the bus driving at a constant speed.
Feeling the slight bump, Lu Ming gently opened his eyes.
