By the time Qiao Yin completed the comprehensive health examination, three hours had passed.
The test results will be out in a week, and she didn't worry about it in advance, nor was she going to think about it all the time. It's just that she didn't have lunch, so her whole body seemed to have wilted and her steps were weak. She looked even weaker than Zhou Chengze who was lying on the hospital bed. Seeing that she was so hungry, Xiao Yang took her to the nearest conveyor belt sushi restaurant and let her fill her stomach first.
"Are you going to work tomorrow?" After finishing her meal, Qiao Yin took a sip of barley tea from her cup and began to think about how to spend this holiday.
"I have two days off today and tomorrow." Xiao Yang finished his answer and put the last tuna sushi into his mouth. It was rare that he was not reminded that he might be called back to the station at any time. After all, Zhou Chengze's status was quite special. After solving his case, his superiors gave Xiao Yang two days' leave. Under such circumstances, no one would interrupt his vacation unless it was absolutely necessary.
Qiao Yin may have heard the meaning of his words. Her big eyes were bent like crescent moons and she suggested with a smile: "Then let's drive to City C to soak in the hot springs?" She listed the reasons one by one, her eyes sparkling. The drowsy tired look yesterday was completely gone, "We have been busy all week, so let's relax in the hot springs. The hot spring resort over there is very good. I went there with Huang Ling last time and stayed there. One night. The water is relatively clean and the buffet is delicious..."
After adding some hot water to his teacup, Xiao Yang had probably grasped her focus, so he glanced at her and casually said: "You can just say you want to go to the buffet."
She smiled even happier than before, "Don't complain about me like Huang Ling..."
However, soaking in hot springs was indeed a good choice to relieve fatigue. Although soaking in hot springs in summer was somewhat tiring, Xiao Yang had no other plans. Looking at Qiao Yin's expectant look as if she wanted to grow a tail and wag it vigorously, he finally accepted the proposal.
So an hour later, they got a change of clothes from home and set off. Qiao Yin waited until she got in the car to remember to do something. She quickly fastened her seat belt and took out her mobile phone to edit a text message. She even muttered: "I want to send a text message to Chen Minyi to tell her that I won't go to the law firm tomorrow."
This was the second time Xiao Yang heard the name Chen Minyi that day. The proud woman at the door of the ward and her obviously hostile eyes appeared in his mind. He turned the car key and asked calmly: "Is she still single?"
"Yes." Qiao Yin nodded, thinking carefully about how few professional girls in their circle were getting married at this age. "Women who work as lawyers usually either find a colleague to marry or stay single. She is that kind of person. She is also very strong and no one can handle her." After sending the text message, she raised her head and blinked at him, "You are not interested in her, are you?"
Xiao Yang only gave her a side glance, and didn't even bother to give her a look of disdain through the mirror. He just threw the question back expressionlessly: "If I'm interested in her type, do you think I'll be sitting here now? Will you be in my car?"
Qiao Yin smiled and laughed for a while, and finally made a special statement: "Actually, I am also very strong."
"En." He responded casually and drove out of the community, "Don't have close contact with her." After saying this, he raised his eyes and glanced at her in the rearview mirror without much emotion, "Don't tell me, you haven't noticed that she's interested in you.”
As if she didn't expect his last addition, Qiao Yin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him in surprise, "How could you tell?"
In fact, as early as when she was in college, Qiao Yin felt that Chen Minyi liked her. But if this kind of thing is exposed, the impact will be very bad. In addition, Chen Minyi had never done anything outrageous, so Qiao Yin kept pretending to be confused and was quite friendly with her. So after graduation, the relationship between the two changed from classmates to colleagues. They should have been quite close, but there was an invisible barrier between them.
But this was a tacit secret between Qiao Yin and Chen Minyi. Even Huang Ling has not noticed it after so many years. How did Xiao Yang notice it just when he met Chen Minyi?
"I encountered a love murder case." Xiao Yang followed the navigation and concentrated on driving. He did not give her any extra attention. He only mentioned it briefly and said in an understatement, "The deceased was a woman and the murderer was also a woman. Although this kind of sexual orientation is not recognized in China, the kind of love that has to be hidden can easily force a person to extremes. Please pay more attention to yourself."
Qiao Yin can still be serious when it comes to life-threatening topics. She nodded matter-of-factly, saying that she would pay more attention: "Yes. I have worked with her for so many years, and I know how to keep a balance."
City C is close to City X, and the hot spring resort was close to the junction of the two cities. It was only an hour's drive from their community. Hot spring bathing and buffet in the evening are calculated based on the number of people, which is 200 per person. The accommodation was more expensive and was charged per room, so they just asked for a double room, put down their things, and went straight to the hot springs.
Qiao Yin first went to the steam room and stayed for a while before coming out. Her face was red from the heat. If her eyes weren't clear, one would have thought she was drunk. The hot spring resort divides the hot springs into dozens of small bathing pools, all with different characteristics, multiple traditional Chinese medicine pools, and further away there were hot spring surfing and hot spring rafting. She took Xiao Yang to soak in several baths. Unless it was a crowded bath, she would want to try taking a bath as soon as she saw the miraculous healing effects written on the small signs.
The two of them wandering around like this also attracted a lot of attention. The main point was that Xiao Yang had a good figure, and his face was quite worthy of his figure. As Qiao Yin saw more and more women peeking at him, she gradually didn't dare to take him into a bath with too many women. But she didn't dare to go to a bath with many men. After all, she was self-aware and knew that even if she was not a big beauty just by looking at her face, but her figure was really good - not to mention her fair skin, she had substance in all the right places, all the delicious food she usually eats was worth it.
So they didn't soak in the serious hot springs for long. Xiao Yang saw that she was so troubled, so he simply took her to the slate bed of the hot spring.
It was already dusk. It was very pleasant to get out of the steaming hot spring bath and sit on the stone bed while enjoying the cool evening breeze. Spread the bath towel on the slate bed and lie down. You can feel the temperature of the slate bed through the bath towel and avoid catching a cold from the wind. Qiao Yin felt sleepy as she lay down, and her voice became softer and softer. After holding on for a long time, she finally fell asleep.
Xiao Yang sat next to her and let her rest. He only took a bath towel and put it on her to avoid catching a cold. After a while, massage workers came to the slate bed to ask the resting guests if they wanted a massage. They were mostly women, carrying small baskets with essential oils and other tools in their hands.
Probably after hearing their whispers, Qiao Yin suddenly woke up, stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Yang's arm, and whispered to him: "They will come over later and ask you if you want a massage, so don't pay attention to them. "
He looked at her from the corner of his eyes, his eyes calm, clearly implying that this warning was unnecessary. She lowered the corners of her mouth and pretended to be unhappy: "Your eyes are so pretty, and just looking at it seems to make everyone want to seduce you." Then she thought for a while and said, "If you really want a massage, I will do a massage for you tonight."
As a result, a young girl walked over. She looked clean. She must have been doing odd jobs during the holidays, and she was a little shy. She came to Xiao Yang and Qiao Yin's side. She thought it would be safer to give the lady a massage. She looked at Qiao Yin first and was a little disappointed when she saw that she was sleeping. Then she looked at Xiao Yang and hesitated for a long time before asking: "Mister, do you want a massage?”
"No need." Xiao Yang didn't even raise his eyelids, he casually pulled up the bath towel that had slipped off Qiao Yin's body, and raised his chin expressionlessly to signal the little girl to look at her, "Someone already offered to massage me.”
The little girl was stunned, she blushed and walked away.
Qiao Yin closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, holding back laughter until her shoulders shook.
They had a hearty meal in the buffet restaurant during dinner time, then went to the entertainment lounge to sit on the massage chairs and watch TV for a while before returning to the room. Qiao Yin took out her mobile phone and saw that Shen Yanfang had called her five times, so she quickly called her back while Xiao Yang was taking a shower.
After the call was connected, Shen Yanfang cursed her all over, and then asked her: "Where did you damn girl go? Not coming home?"
Qiao Yin comforted her and gave a half-truth answer: "Didn't I go to the hospital to see Zhou Chengze in the morning? I happened to meet an old classmate when I went to see him. After we came out of the hospital, we went to City C to soak in the hot springs."
Fortunately, Shen Yanfang had no doubts. He only told her to pay attention to safety and then got down to business: "This afternoon a foreigner came to see you and showed me his ID, saying it was from the US Embassy I said you are not here, and he refused to tell me what he was looking for you for. He only said that he wanted me to tell you that you should go to the embassy when you have time in the next two days. He has something important to tell you." Her tone was a little dissatisfied, and then she sounded dissatisfied. Worried, "Has your law firm taken on any troublesome cases recently? Why have people from the embassy come here?"
"The U.S. Embassy?" Qiao Yin felt strange after hearing this, "No, our law firm has not received any foreign-related cases recently." She thought for a while, then took her bag and rummaged through it, "They must have found me based on the information registered in my household registration... I will check to see if I have received any notifications on my other phone later. "
They chatted for a few more words and then hung up. Qiao Yin searched carefully and finally found her old phone.
There was still battery in it, so she turned on the phone and took a look, and sure enough there was an unread text message. But the text message was not from the U.S. Embassy, but from her friend in the United States. She felt weird. She clicked on the text message to read it, and her face turned pale little by little.
