Eat meat

Luo Mai is good-looking because of his eyes. When you look at him, you will have the illusion that your soul is being sucked away. Even when his own father beats him, he doesn't look into his eyes much, for fear that someone who doesn't pay attention will be softened. lighter.

Li Yijie is now being watched by these eyes, he subconsciously looked away and said: "I have no obligation to tell you."

Hearing what he said, Luo Mai didn't even bother to roll his eyes at the person in front of him. He turned around and wanted to leave. Li Yijie took a quick step to grab his clothes. Luo Mai, who was facing away from him, didn't even look back, and just waved away the one that was holding him. Then he turned his head and raised his leg to give Li Yijie a feint kick in the crotch, and when Li Yijie dodged, he quickly punched him in the shoulder.

Li Yijie was hit by surprise, he was covering his shoulders and was about to fight back when he saw Luo Mai staring at him with a strange expression.

"I don't care how you hooked up with my dad, but I won't hand over my future to a boss like you."

Li Yijie frowned when he heard what he said, thinking that it was terrible, this kid is quite angry.

Lei Hua, who watched the whole process in the dark, couldn't help but said, "No."

Romeo turned to look at him.

"Brigade Li originally belonged to the Provincial Public Security Bureau." Lei Hua walked over and took out a few grapes from his pocket and handed them to Luo Mai. After being rejected, he stuffed one into his own mouth. "Brigade 74 is a new department, but if you want to ask I know what the situation here is. You also said that the remote location here hinders development. Young people don’t want to waste time here, and senior people don’t like it here, let alone old people who just want to retire quickly. That's all. The place has been vacant for more than half a year, and the higher-ups had to send personnel from various police stations. Even so, those who don't want to come should resign, and those who resign should go through the back door. Team Li was originally a deputy team in the criminal police team of the provincial department. The future is bright. Knowing the situation here, he came here on his own initiative."

Every time Lei Hua said a word, the expression on Luo Mai's face became one point of surprise, and he looked at Li Yijie in disbelief.

Li Yijie felt embarrassed when he stared at him like this: "It's not that great, my dad and I just lost the lottery."

Luo Mai: "..."

Li Yijie said again: "At the beginning there was no leader here, my father said he would come, but when he got old, it was rainy and remote here, so I changed the lottery because I was worried."

When he said this, Luo Mai's surprise turned into shame. Thinking about what he said to Li Yijie just now, he felt that he was too mean: "I'm sorry."

"Captain Li is very talkative." Seeing the misunderstanding, Lei Hua relieved the misunderstanding and stuffed the grapes in his mouth. "Captain Li and I have also visited several cities in the past few months, but there are not enough manpower and some cases take too long to file. What was lost, there was very little useful information, and I couldn’t help much as a dead house in information security, so the progress was very slow. In this way, I actually didn’t do anything except run errands. I’m sorry for Team Li of."

"It's okay, I forgive you, now I'm waiting to fatten up and kill you by bloodletting for the Chinese New Year." Li Yijie said.

Lei Hua squinted at him and snorted, "I'm going to take a nap, call me after dinner."

"Get out of here." Li Yijie scolded him.

As soon as Lei Hua left, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Yijie saw Luo Mai's tangled appearance and gave a step up: "Show me around?"

Romeo hummed lightly.

The predecessor of Brigade No. 74 was a big house with two floors and eighteen rooms in total. The main room in the middle was the largest, and there were small houses of different sizes on the side.

Li Yijie took Luo Mai for a walk around the yard first. In order to adjust the atmosphere, he pointed to the shelf covered with grape vines and scolded Lei Hua for eating all the grapes, and then pointed to a few big trees on the edge of the yard to tell Luo What kind of tree is wheat and how old is the tree.

"This sweet-scented osmanthus tree is almost 200 years old. My father said that the original owner built the house here because of this tree."

Luo Mai looked up at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree: "I heard that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree means rich tree?"

"The original owner built the house here probably because of this homonym, but I want to borrow another meaning of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree."

"What do you mean?"

"honor."

Luo Mai first looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and then at Li Yijie beside him: "Just now I didn't understand the situation and spoke out loud, I'm sorry."

Li Yijie waved his hand generously: "It's okay, I didn't hold on to my pigtail so much, it's my fault that I didn't make it clear," and then he said, "Then are you still staying?"

Luo Mai didn't answer immediately, he said first: "Do you know what my senior brother and second senior brother do?"

"Practice boxing?"

"Boxing champion, a professional boxer," Luo Mai said, remembering the gloomy days since he was four years old, "My dad said that as long as I go back, he will use me as a punching bag for the brothers. It is better for me to stay here to save my life." .”

Li Yijie laughed, and he reached out and patted Luo Mai's shoulder: "Let's go, I'll show you other rooms, we have a gym room here, and if you want to practice boxing, you also have sandbags..."

Li Yijie was very forthright, and Luo Mai gradually became more relaxed from the discomfort at the beginning, especially after learning that Li Yijie could cook.

"I'm going to buy vegetables, are you going?" Li Yijie asked Luo Mai while holding the key.

"I wanted to call my dad to bring my luggage," Luo Mai said, "I thought I didn't bring my luggage because of the interview, but I ran away after he dropped it."

"Okay, then you wake up Lei Zhu. Don't run around, I'll be back after I finish shopping," he said, lifting his legs, and turned back after walking a few steps, "What do you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine."

"Spice too?"

"can."

"That's not bad, it's easy to raise," Li Yijie grinned, "Let's go."

After he left, Luo Mai woke up Lei Hua first, and then called his father to accuse him of being a "tiger poison eater".

"Dad, you are really my own father. It's really impossible for ordinary people to run away without their son."

Before Luo Huo answered the phone, he guessed that this kid would be careless. He said: "When you just graduated, I put you in the city bureau and you came back after working for two months. What did you say to me then?"

Luo Mai withered smoothly: "...Didn't you say it's better not to mention it?"

"I don't want to mention you?" Luo Huo squeezed his throat to imitate Luo Mai's tone at that time, "I will definitely catch all the bad guys, and I will never disappoint the teacher's expectations of me. The result? I've only been depressed for two months came back."

Luo Mai was ashamed and annoyed by the shortness of breath he said. Luo Huo felt the anger of his son on the other end of the phone, and before he lost his temper, he said again: "Yu Jia's case has been transferred to the 74th Brigade. You didn't let you touch it back then. You can touch it, but you have to discuss it with Team Li before."

Luo Mai's anger gradually disappeared in Luo Huo's words, and he muttered: "Dad..."

"Don't do what you shouldn't do. You are already working and not at home. Before you become lawless, think about whether you can bear the consequences. I will find someone to bring your luggage to you tomorrow and hang up."

"Wait!" Luo Mai hurriedly said, "Bring me a few bottles of safflower oil, I'll beat Captain Li."

There was a dead silence on the other end of the phone, Luo Mai swallowed: "Dad?"

"You're so awesome! You are really my own son, just wait until you come back and be a human sandbag!"

The food market is a bit far from the brigade, and it was past five o'clock when Li Yijie returned home after shopping.As soon as he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he saw two people holding popsicles enjoying the coolness sitting at the entrance of the main room. He raised an eyebrow and asked Lei Hua, "Are there any mosquitoes?"

Upon hearing this question, Lei Hua was delighted: "Brother Li, I love Maimai so much!"

Li Yijie didn't understand, so he said, "Huh?"

"He attracts mosquitoes! He sits next to me and the mosquitoes don't even look at me!"

Li Yijie was a little speechless when he saw his beaming face, walked to Luo Mai and found that he was using a popsicle to ice the mosquito bag on his arm.

"Popsicles are sweet, won't mosquitos bite you if you do this?" Li Yijie pulled Luo Mai up, "Get up and wash off the essential oil."

Luo Mai was about to go crazy, he scratched his legs and arms, his voice was crying: "Is essential oil useful?"

"It works," Li Yijie dragged him to the sink to help him wash the sticky sweet water off his arms, "You are really good enough, use popsicles to relieve the itching."

Luo Mai also felt a little stupid, so he took out the hand held by Li Yijie and washed it himself: "Lei Hua said it would be useful."

"He's stupid. He wasn't treated by mosquitoes in the first place, and he didn't see two bags in one summer. It's better for you to rush to feed the mosquitoes." Li Yijie was very helpless, "Let's go, go to my room Wipe the wind oil."

Lei Hua was chatting about popsicles very happily, and jumped up after hearing Li Yijie's words: "Then I'll go wash the vegetables!"

"Wash the eggplant, water spinach and potatoes, and make some vegetarian dishes to eat when it's hot." Li Yijie ordered.

Lei Hua answered quickly: "That's great!"

"Your dad said you like pea jelly. I bought two pieces. Will it be served cold or fried?" Li Yijie asked Luo Mai beside him.

Luo Mai was stunned for two seconds: "Fry it, fry it to taste."

"Okay, let's fry."

The dormitory is on the second floor, because there are few people, so there is a room for each person. Luo Mai entered Li Yijie's room and was shocked by the environment inside.

"So clean?"

"If there is less stuff, it will be clean." Li Yijie found out the essential oil and handed it to Luo Mai, "Will you clean it yourself or should I help you?"

As a gay Virgo, Luo Mai doesn't like outsiders touching him very much, especially unfamiliar men.He politely said that it is good to come by himself, Li Yijie went out without saying anything, and after a while he popped up and said: "You live in the room on my right temporarily, and I will wipe the mat at night so you can sleep. By the way, your father When will the luggage be delivered to you?"

Luo Mai: "He said it will be delivered tomorrow."

"Then what are you going to do tonight? Sleep naked?"

Luo Mai: "...I don't need to change it."

"You can't do without changing your sweaty body," Li Yijie said as he walked into the room and opened the closet. "I'll find you an undershirt and you can put it on first, but the underwear is not new. Do you mind wearing washed ones?"

Luo Mai refused: "Thank you, no need."

"You want to shift gears?" Li Yijie glanced at his lower body.

He looked at Luo Mai with hair all over his body, and he hadn't figured out how to say that his sweater and underwear flew all over his head.

"It has been washed, and it still smells like gold spinning," Li Yijie smirked, "The bathroom is on the east side of the second floor. You have mosquito coils and air conditioners in your room. You can take a bath, sleep or come down to help. It's up to you. Wi- The Fi password is eight eights."

After he finished his explanation, he left regardless of whether Luo Maiji remembered it. Luo Mai was a little dazed while clutching his clothes. After a while, he walked towards the bathroom on the east side.

The balm that he had applied earlier had been washed away by the water, so Luo Mai went to Li Yijie's room and applied another layer of balm on himself, and finally went downstairs with the scent of balm all over his body.

The 74th Brigade is very close to the suburbs, and the temperature will gradually drop as soon as the sun sets.The gate of the yard was not closed, and as soon as Luo Mai went downstairs, he felt very comfortable with the breeze blowing in the hall.

The small dining table was placed under the vines in the courtyard. There were already three dishes and three bowls of soup and rice on the table. Lei Hua was clutching his mobile phone beside the small dining table and writing books.

"It's time to eat!" Li Yijie, wearing a Doraemon blue apron, brought the last dish of fried jelly from the kitchen to the table. He put the jelly in front of Luo Mai, and then took out a bottle of beer. Have some cold beer first."

"I don't drink." Luo Mai said shyly.

"Can't three people drink a bottle of beer?" Li Yijie was surprised.

"Ah?" Luo Mai thought, what kind of drinking method is this.

"Brother Li said drinking was a mistake, no matter how greedy he is, he won't drink too much." Lei Hua, who had already put down his phone and picked up a disposable paper cup, explained to Luo Mai.

"Then I'll drink some too." Luo Mai couldn't refuse, he shared a glass of beer, drank it in one gulp, picked up the chopsticks and ate the jelly in front of him, and Li Yijie and Lei Hua who were preparing to toast were completely petrified.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Sensing something was wrong, Luo Mai raised his head to look at them.

"You drank the wine before our welcome speech..." Lei Hua murmured.

"Uh..." Luo Mai froze.

"Forget it, let's eat." Li Yijie looked up to finish off the beer in the glass, picked up the chopsticks to pick up food for Luo Mai and Lei Hua.

"Wheat, try this white meat. I blanch it with water. You look fat, but it's not fat at all. Lei Zhu, you eat a la carte, and you don't even look at your belly when you pick the meat. It's about to catch up with a five-month-old pregnant woman." gone."

Lei Hua ate the meal very resentfully, and the corners of his mouth were pulled down to cast aside Li Yijie who was treating each other very favorably.

After dinner, Lei Hua washed the dishes, and Li Yijie turned on the light in the yard and sat next to Luo Mai with a fan to enjoy the shade with him.

Li Yijie fanned Luo Mai and asked him, "Does the food suit your taste?"

Luo Mai nodded: "It's delicious."

"The welcome ceremony is a bit simple, and I will cook you some big dishes later," Li Yijie said, looking at the cropped pants that Luo Mai wore during the day, "Did you change your underwear?"

"Huh?" Luo Mai didn't respond.

"I see you changed my clothes and took a bath."

"Hey, can't you not do this?" Luo Mai said, "You start playing hooligans within a few words of seriousness."

Li Yijie didn't answer him, but said: "You are a little too big in my clothes."

Luo Mai didn't know what he was going to do again. He looked down at his clothes and found that a large area of ​​his chest had been exposed. Li Yijie reckoned that he could see to the end from his perspective.

"...I'll go!" Luo Mai snatched Li Yijie's fan and slapped him on the head fiercely. When Li Yijie was running away, he chased after him viciously. Lei Hua came out of the kitchen and saw the two of them arguing and yelling. One sentence: "Don't run around after eating! Run away from appendicitis!"

The two people who were chasing him couldn't listen anymore, they ran up and down three times and ended the war with Li Yijie being beaten up by Luo Mai.

"Let's get started." After the two of them calmed down, Lei Hua put the phone in the middle of the small dining table.

"Why?" Luo Mai, who was covered in sweat, looked at Lei Hua with a blushing face.

"I made an app by classifying the cases in the archives, and now I can start selecting cases to deal with."

Luo Mai's expression froze, and the blush on his face gradually disappeared: "How to do it?"

"You just need to click on the little red dot in the middle, and whichever one is selected by the system will be selected."

Luo Mai frowned, and just as he was getting ready to tap, Li Yijie pressed the red dot first: "It's very exciting when you hit me, it's so boring to tap the screen."

Luo Mai: "..."

“5、4、3、2、1，出来了！”雷桦叫道。

The heads of the three moved towards the middle at the same time, and two lines of words appeared on the screen of the mobile phone.
