Chapter 422 Returning to the team
Chapter 422 Returning to the team
"I'd rather not see you! I don't want you to bother me!" Wang Wei, also known as Feiniao, pushed Li Xiang away and looked at him unhappily.
But the surprise in his eyes revealed his mood at the moment.
Li Xiang didn't pay attention to his actions. He stepped forward again, put his arm around his shoulders, and said with a smile, "How is it? Surprised or not?"
"What a surprise!" Fei Niao muttered, and then asked, "Why are you free to come here today?"
"I'm on vacation and have nothing to do at home, so I thought of coming to see you."
"You have a conscience!" Fei Niao grabbed his neck with his backhand, "Since you're here, don't leave at noon. I'll treat you to a meal in our cafeteria!"
"Why are you the same as Yuan Lang? Are you so stingy?"
"He is far worse than me! At least I paid, okay?" Feiniao loudly refuted Li Xiang's complaint. After greeting the attendant, he pulled Li Xiang inside.
Li Xiang saw this and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute! My car is still parked outside! There are still things I brought in it!"
"Really?! What else did you bring with you? " Fei Niao said with disgust, but his body honestly turned a corner and walked towards the car parked at the door.
Seeing his appearance, Li Xiang was speechless and said, "You are not much different from him, okay!"
Fei Niao shook his head and said seriously: "It's courtesy to return the favor. I'll treat you to lunch in the cafeteria..."
"That's what you promised me before!"
“Don’t worry about the details…”
The two quarreled all the way, got into Li Xiang's car, and went to the bottom of the office building.
After getting off the car, Li Xiang opened the trunk and took out the fruits, cigarettes and alcohol prepared for Feiniao.
Seeing this, Fei Niao immediately smiled and rubbed his hands, saying: "Oh, I'm sorry... I'm sorry for the expense...!"
"If you feel embarrassed, then treat me to something good at noon..."
Fei Niao took the food from Li Xiang's hand and said happily, "Don't worry! I promise to give you two chicken legs at noon!"
"Thank you so much!" Li Xiang rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"You're welcome!" Fei Niao shamelessly accepted Li Xiang's thanks and took him into his office.
After putting the things away, Fei Niao poured him a glass of water, then asked with a smile: "How are you doing recently?"
Li Xiang took it and thanked him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's still the same, not much different from when you were here...
Oh, right! Did you know that Qi Heng is married? And he got promoted a while ago and is now the chief of staff of the team. "
"I know." Fei Niao nodded, picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it, then continued: "I was on a business trip when he got married, so I didn't make it in time."
Li Xiang suddenly realized: "That's what I was saying. Why didn't I see you at his wedding?"
Fei Niao looked at him with a smile, "Speaking of which, you are not young anymore, when are you planning to get married?
Please inform me in advance so that I can make time to attend your wedding."
Li Xiang didn't expect the topic to be about him so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Me? It's too early for me! I don't even have a partner now, let alone get married."
Then, without waiting for Fei Niao to say anything else, he changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you living in the team now? Where are your sister-in-law and children?"
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Fei Niao didn't force him and explained with a smile: "They are at home... How about waiting for me to get off work and come to my house to sit down?"
Li Xiang wanted to agree, but after remembering that he had promised Fan Qing to have dinner together, he shook his head and refused, "Let's wait for next time. I have something else to do in the afternoon."
"Since you have something to do, let's do it another day." Seeing him say that, Fei Niao didn't feel disappointed.
Two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time were chatting enthusiastically in Fei Niao's office.
There is no sense of strangeness due to the time difference.
When it was time for lunch, Fei Niao did not take Li Xiang to the team cafeteria as he had said before.
Instead, he asked Li Xiang to drive to the restaurant outside the SWAT team.
Because Fei Niao had to go to work in the afternoon and Li Xiang was driving, the two of them did not drink at the dinner table.
After the meal, at Feiniao's enthusiastic invitation, Li Xiang followed him to the training ground in the afternoon to watch the special police team's training.
Li Xiang was well aware of Feiniao's invitation.
So while watching, he offered his opinions from time to time.
Seeing this, Fei Niao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
But it caused Li Xiang to roll his eyes.
When the time was almost up, Li Xiang said goodbye to Feiniao and drove to the main hospital.
Ever since seeing his master, Li Xiang has become completely free.
In the following time, he either stayed at home with the elderly or wandered around with Fan Qing.
As they got to know each other better, although they never confessed their feelings to each other, in the eyes of others, their behavior was obviously no different from that of a normal couple.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Li Xiang to return to the team.
The night before, Li Xiang sneaked into the old man's warehouse right under his nose.
The old man was so angry that his teeth were itching, but because of Li Xiang's backers, he couldn't say a word to stop him.
He could only watch Li Xiang filling his bag with his stock.
In the end, he simply snorted coldly, pretending to be out of sight, out of mind, and got up and went back to his room.
Li Xiang laughed when he saw this, but he was not so blind as to step forward and challenge the old man's patience.
After quickly packing up, he went straight back to the room carrying his spoils.
The next day, Li Xiang went to Long's home next door and took the things that Grandma Long had prepared for Comrade Jianguo. Amid the reluctant looks of everyone, he got into the car that came to pick him up.
After returning to the team, Li Xiang first put his things back in the dormitory, then took two boxes of tea and went to Yuan Lang's office to cancel his leave.
But before leaving, he first sent one of the boxes to Qi Heng's office.
As for why he didn't go to Yuan Lang first, it was because he was afraid that after he went in, Qi Heng would have waited for so many days in vain...
After chatting with Qi Heng for a few words, Li Xiang went to Yuan Lang's office.
When he arrived at the door, Li Xiang didn't even knock. He pushed the door open arrogantly and walked in with big strides.
Yuan Lang in the room was startled by his action. When he saw who was coming, he was about to curse.
But Li Xiang walked straight up to him, dumped the tea in his hand on the desk, saluted and said seriously:
"Captain, I have brought the self-review you requested. Please check if there is anything wrong..."
Hearing this, Yuan Lang immediately stopped the scolding that was about to come out of his mouth, and calmly put the tea leaves on the table into the drawer.
"Well, that's good... Since you are so sincere, I'll let it go this time. Remember to be more careful with your words next time..."
