Pan Yuyi was on fire today.
She had just finished interrogating Liu Yanbo in the afternoon. When she returned to the police station, she was informed that she could no longer interfere with Jiu Ye’s case.
She endured this problem even though she was angry, after all, the murder happened in the Old Town, which meant the case wasn’t Xincheng District Branch’s jurisdiction.
But the bigger, more frustrating event happened afterward.
After getting off work and going home, Pan Yuyi looked for her father to ask if he could give her some special treatment and let her keep looking into Jiu Ye’s case. But her stubborn insistence and begging only made Pan Yangmin scold her.
Saying that she shouldn’t have investigated the Undercurrent by herself in the first place;
And saying that she shouldn’t have taken a very inexperienced police officer to the murder scene.
…
What made Pan Yuyi most frustrated was what he said later, at the end. He started talking about her love life.
Saying that she was not young anymore and that it was time to think about her future, and asking her to keep an open mind for Zhou Ming.
How could she think about marrying a guy she didn’t even like?
She couldn’t handle it. She didn’t feel like speaking or talking anymore, she just got up, slammed the door, and left.
At first, she wanted to drink away her anger by herself. But then a certain person came to mind. And her mood improved by half in an instant.
In Tianshui Bar.
Pan Yuyi was happy that night, but Liu Yanbo seemed bitter.
He didn't know why she was in a bad mood that night, but he could clearly see her scary ‘Don’t come near me or else’ expression.
As soon as they sat down, Xiao Xu, who had always claimed to be close-friends with Liu Yanbo, served them some wine. Before he could even say a word, he was met with Pan Yuyi’s intimidating glare, which made him quietly back away.
How uncomfortable!
Looking around, he saw some drunkards holding glasses of wine and provoking girls. Liu Yanbo had a bad feeling that this woman would cause trouble tonight.
The more he thought about it the worse he imagined it. Liu Yanbo quickly shook his head to get rid of those distracting thoughts. He said with a low voice: “Pan Yuyi, it’s way too noisy in here. How about we just order some wine here and then look for a quieter place to drink?”
Pan Yuyi squinted her eyes and raised an eyebrow: “Why don’t you just directly say that you want to take me to a room, huh?”
‘Phht~’ Liu Yanbo accidentally spat out the wine in his mouth like a sprinkler all over the table, hurriedly wiping his mouth, he said: “Captain Pan, no, I didn’t mean it in that way. Do you think I’m that dirty-minded?”
Liu Yanbo took another sip of wine and quietly muttered, “Besides, I wouldn’t want to even if you were willing, my wife is much prettier than you.”
“What did you say?!” Pan Yuyi leaned slightly towards Liu Yanbo, squinting her eyes: "Repeat what you said just now. I didn't hear it clearly."
When I was young, I was taught by elders that good things were never said a second time.
Liu Yanbo had always considered himself a good, obedient child. He shook his head: “I didn’t say anything. You must have drunk too much and had an auditory hallucination.”
After he finished speaking, afraid that Pan Yuyi would keep insisting on the question, he hurriedly changed the subject: "Captain Pan, we might not be very close, but we’re at least familiar with each other, right? Why don't you tell me why you're in a bad mood? It's not good to keep it to yourself. Why don't you just say it out loud? Maybe I’ll even be able to help you out. Don't worry, I promise not to tell anyone."
"What do you care if I'm in a good mood or not?" Pan Yuyi drank all the wine in her glass in one gulp and knocked on the table, gesturing for another glass. "If you drink more and talk less, I'll feel better."
Got it.
Kindness is mistaken for ill intent. This woman is just too stubborn.
Liu Yanbo had always thought that Yin Hanruo was the most unreasonable woman in the world.
It wasn't until tonight that he discovered that Yin Hanruo was actually a good baby compared to Pan Yuyi.
"Xiao Xu, another bottle please." Liu Yanbo was determined not to pay any more attention to that prickly woman.
He asked for a vodka bottle.
Liu Yanbo poured half a glass and gently shook it, the transparent wine became, even more, crystal clear under the light. He took a sip and the taste was light and refreshing, it wasn’t too sweet, bitter, or acidic, but just enough to give off a fiery taste.
The vodka, which wasn’t blended with any other beverage, maintained the purest taste of the wine. Just like the beginning of life.
If you don’t let your heart change, you can always stay pure.
This was probably the reason why Liu Yanbo only loved vodka among all the foreign wines.
"The next song is called "Pure Heart", I hope everyone present can always live with their purest happiness. I hope you like it." The singer on stage said sincerely.
“I still remember,
At the beginning,
When the sky in my eyes was always blue.
Then I grew up,
And realized the sky always had gray clouds.
I thought
The world changed.
And began to learn to pretend to be strong,
and learn to take indifference as a habit.
Smiling when I wanted to cry,
Crying when I wanted to smile.
At the end
Lost my heart,
My pure happiness and my dream..."
The beautiful melody with a touch of sadness in it, the deep soulful voice, and the realistic lyrics touched many peoples’ hearts.
There was a touch of sadness in the beautiful melody, accompanied by a deep, soulful voice that hit the soul directly, and the realistic lyrics—— which might have been simple, but it had touched people's hearts.
Liu Yanbo had never heard the song before, he didn’t usually listen to music.
But this time, when a stranger sang an unfamiliar song, why was it so touching?
He didn’t turn his head to look at the stranger who had touched his heart. He just lightly tapped his finger on the table with the beats. A faint smile rose from the corner of his lips while he had another sip.
This part of life is so comfortable!
The bustling city that was always full of festivities, the noisy and crowded bar... at that moment, Liu Yanbo fell out of touch with the world around him.
He was like a pearl that was no longer shined. Dusty and alone in his own world.
Pan Yuyi looked at Liu Yanbo, unsure of whether he was tasting wine or listening to music, and a glint of confusion appeared in her eyes.
What happened to this man?
Why was his figure so lonely?
Why was it that he was close, yet felt so far away?
What kind of past did he have?
Was he really a murderous demon?
With too many questions lingering in her mind, Pan Yuyi felt a splitting headache, and hurriedly drank a glass of wine to dispel it.
"Hey! Why did you suddenly become mute? What are you staring into space for?" Pan Yuyi stretched her hand out and waved it in front of Liu Yanbo's eyes.
She wasn’t a very good drinker, yet she drank more than Liu Yanbo. Now, her voice wasn’t as firm as before and had become much lazier.
The touching song ended, and before they knew it, half the bottle of wine was gone. Liu Yanbo stopped the hand wagging in front of him, sighed, then smiled sarcastically to her: "Didn't you tell me not to talk and just drink?"
“You stopped talking just because I told you to? Are you that obedient?" Although she had drunk a lot of wine, Pan Yuyi's mind was still clear. "Then if I ask you if you killed someone, would you admit it too?"
Liu Yanbo didn’t answer and continued to drink.
"By the way, didn't you say that Ji Ruyan liked you so much that she wanted to be your mistress? What do you think she'd think if she saw us together now?" Pan Yuyi smiled, "She definitely should know me by now. Do you think she'll think you're an undercover agent of the police?"
In the middle of the conversation, Pan Yuyi suddenly leaned her head on Liu Yanbo's shoulder and gently rubbed against him, like a happy woman in love.
Was she drunk?
Nope.
Despite the redness on her face, she looked towards the second floor’s entrance with a glare and even a little provocation.
Ji Ruyan was standing at the stairway.
During dinner, Ji Ruyan had also drank a lot of wine and was about to take some rest, but before she could fall asleep, she received a report that Liu Yanbo had gone and returned.
She quickly changed her outfit and mended her makeup. But as soon as she reached the stairway, she saw the man she was expecting holding a glass of wine, while a woman leaned on his shoulder. The woman was looking at her.
It was a very unfriendly looking woman.
The two women's eyes met unexpectedly, and the air suddenly smelled of smoke.
War between women had always been tit-for-tat.
Ji Ruyan lightly smiled and slowly approached.
She never retreated in the face of provocation!
CAT FIGHT!
