Chapter 192 Queen Bedroom Only
That night, Yunqi and Xia Luobing entered the hotel. The waiter looked at them and said, “A302 queen bed room.”
Xia Luobing’s expression was embarra.s.sed and she hurriedly shook her head, “We are not husband and wife!”
The waiter was stunned for a moment. He looked at the two awkwardly and said guiltily, “Sorry, this is the only room left.”
Xia Luobing ‘s face darkened. She had just come along this street, and only this hotel could accommodate people.
“Let’s take this room.” Huo Yunqi took out the money and handed it to the receptionist. He smiled at Xia Luobing and said, “You’re very good.”
Xia Luobing’s face darkened, but after thinking about it, Huo Yunqi was right. She was a dignified criminal police captain who had slept in the wilderness. Could it be that she was afraid of Huo Yunqi by her side?
The two of them took the room card and entered the room. Turning on the light, they saw that the s.p.a.cious double bed was placed in the middle of the room as if welcoming the two of them.
“You sleep in bed, I sleep on the sofa.” Xia Luobing arranged with a dark face.
When Huo Yunqi heard this, he pulled at the corner of his mouth and said with a dark face, “I’m a man. You sleep in bed.”
“Alright!” Xia Luobing nodded, her eyes flashing with cunning.
Huo Yunqi was stunned and smiled helplessly. However, he felt inexplicable joy in his heart. Perhaps because he had lost ten years of memories, Xia Luobing spoke and acted more cunningly and childishly than before.
At this time, Xia Luobing had not yet grown a p.r.i.c.kly stab, but she was a bit stubborn from time to time.
“Bing Bing, I suddenly realized that your amnesia is pretty good.” Huo Yunqi said as he sat on the sofa beside him.
Xia Luobing was seriously laying down the blanket. Hearing Yunqi’s words, she suddenly turned around and looked at him, “Why?”
“Because of this, I can see what you looked like ten years ago, and I have partic.i.p.ated in your life.”
Huo Yunqi’s voice was neither loud nor low. It was magnetic and hoa.r.s.e. Xia Luobing suddenly felt as if a light feather was fiddling with her heart. It was soft and gentle.
“I don’t want to repeat those lives at all.” Xia Luobing said disappointedly. He took a deep breath and said to Yunqi, “I want to drink now.”
Fifteen minutes later, Yunqi looked at the dozen bottles of beer on the floor and frowned, “Are you sure you want to drink?”
There was a phrase called drunken s.e.x. Was this woman really not sure or was she too confident in her martial arts?
“I have a story. Do you have any wine?” Xia Luobing said faintly. He opened a bottle of beer and drank it all in one gulp. He ignored whether Yunqi was drinking or not and said to himself, “I was sixteen when Mom died.”
Huo Yunqi suddenly understood the sadness of Xia Luobing’s sudden arrival and knew that she had a lot to say. She sat quietly on the side and didn’t say anything, only listening to what she was hiding in her heart.
“Charlotte is only a year younger than me. Do you know what this means?” Xia Luobing ridiculed and pulled the corners of her mouth. She thought of her father lying in the hospital and stretched out her two fingers to press the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows. However, she could not smooth out the wrinkles.
“He betrayed his mother and lied to her for more than ten years.” Xia Luobing ‘s voice was hoa.r.s.e after drinking, and the hearts of the people who heard it hurt badly.
The moon was crooked at the window like it was listening to Xia Luobing telling a story, but Yunqi’s eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter. He had always thought that he knew Xia Luobing best, but today he realized that he had never entered her heart.
“Daddy is very pitiful now. He also knows that he is wrong.” Xia Luobing whispered, “I’ve decided to forgive him, but I always feel sorry for my mother.”
Charlotte shook her head with a bitter smile. She opened another bottle of wine and was about to deliver it to her mouth when Huo Yunqi s.n.a.t.c.hed it away. “Why did you s.n.a.t.c.h mine?” She said angrily.
As a people’s policeman, she had a strong sense of defence, especially now.
Huo Yunqi stared at Xia Luobing and said seriously, “Xia Luobing, don’t ruin your body.”
He would feel heartache.
Originally, he thought that it would be very difficult to deal with, but he didn’t expect Xia Luobing to obediently nod his head. He also got up from the floor with both hands and feet, staggered to the bedside, lifted the blanket, and lay down. He tilted his head and waved to Huo Yunqi, “You, come here.”
Under the warm yellow light, Charlotte’s red cheeks became exceptionally tender and beautiful, her pouted red lips as if she had applied the best rouge.
“Ice.” Huo Yunqi sat beside the bed, his voice hoa.r.s.e and seductive. This woman only knew how dangerous it was for the two of them to get along like this.
Xia Luobing’s alcohol tolerance was really not good. At this moment, she felt dizzy. He instinctively grabbed Yunqi’s finger and blinked, “Tell a story.”
Yunqi lowered his head and pulled his fair fingers. The corner of his mouth twitched. He wanted to make sure that he had just heard an illusion. Xia Luobing asked him to tell a story?
Story telling?
This was the first time someone had made such a request to him since he was young!
“Tell a story!” Xia Luobing looked at Huo Yunqi in a tender and angry manner, her eyes flashing. She was naive like an innocent child, “Quick, tell me a story.”
Huo Yunqi’s face immediately turned black and he instinctively wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a while, he helped Xia Luobing pull the blanket and said, “Alright.”
Hearing Huo Yunqi’s words, Xia Luobing closed her eyes with great peace of mind and rubbed her cheeks against Huo Yunqi’s fingers with incomparable peace of mind.
“Once upon a time, there was a couple who loved each other very much. There were many misunderstandings between them. Once, a man asked a woman …” Yunqi Huo softly told a story based on two people. He looked at Xia Luobing and noticed that she was breathing evenly. He unconsciously smiled, “Bing Bing, you …”
As the first ray of sunlight pa.s.sed through the window in the morning, Xia Luobing rubbed his eyes, struggled to sit up, and rubbed his temples. “My head hurts.”
Yesterday, she suddenly felt sad. It was probably because the night was too cold. Perhaps it was because there were too many things hidden in her heart. She only wanted to drink, only to get drunk once.
“s.h.i.t!” Xia Luobing suddenly sat up from her bed. Last night, she was drinking with Yunqi Ho!
Xia Luobing smashed the bed in frustration and got out of bed. She was sure that the clothes on her body were intact before she let out a sigh of relief. When she was washing up, she heard the door being pushed open from outside. When she knew that Huo Yunqi was coming in from outside, her eyelids unconsciously twitched.
“Bing Bing, something happened!”
Huo Yunqi hurriedly pushed open the door and came in. Looking at Xia Luobing who had already been cleaned up, his expression was very serious.
“Village C?” Charlotte asked instinctively.
Huo Yunqi nodded, “Last night, there was a murder on the Yellow River beach closest to Village C. The corpse was salvaged from the Yellow River by the early fishermen. Do you want to take a look?”
“Set off immediately!” As Xia Luobing put on her coat, she walked out. Her mind was blank. This kind of thing happened just after she arrived at Village C. The other party knew that she was here, so he wanted to give her a dismount?
The black Lincoln quickly drove towards Village C. Huo Yunqi handed the things he had bought to Charlotte while driving, “Have something to eat first.”
A cup of warm soybean milk and a red bean sandwich are her favorite breakfast ways.
“Thank you.” Xia Luobing said. He lowered her head and drank a mouthful of soybean milk. He immediately felt warm all over.
The two quickly drove to the scene of the crime. The local police had completely sealed off the scene, and the onlookers were whispering in twos and threes.
“The dead man has a tattoo on his body. He’s not a good person at first glance!”
“No, I heard that he did a lot of bad things when he was young!”
“…”
Xia Luobing stood in the crowd and listened for a while. She pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. She showed her ID to the policeman who was maintaining the scene. After getting a uniform speed, she squatted down to look at the corpse on the beach. She was stunned when she saw the cyan flower mark on the man’s arm. She felt very familiar with the tattoo, as if she had seen it somewhere before
But where exactly was it?
“Officer Xia, the victim was shot dead. The bullet pierced through his chest and his right pinkie finger was cut off before he died.” The forensic doctor at the scene told him the results of his examination one by one.
Looking at the victim’s incomplete right hand, something suddenly flashed through Xia Luobing’s mind. That thing disappeared too quickly, making it impossible for her to capture it for a moment.
“Ice?” Huo Yunqi quickly walked over to support the dumbfounded person. Xia Luobing stared at one place with her brows tightly knitted, as if she was trying to think of something.
Xia Luobing took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he shook his head at Yunqi. He looked at the corpse that had been carried on the stretcher and pulled at Yunqi. “Let’s go.”
On the way back, Xia Luobing leaned against the window and stared blankly at the white water outside. Her mind was constantly switching between good scenes, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen them before. In the end, she couldn’t see those scenes clearly.
“Stop!”
Huo Yunqi stepped on the brakes. Xia Luobing pushed open the car door and ran to the water’s edge. He bent his hands on his legs and gasped heavily. Tears fell down like broken beads.
Half a meter away, Huo Yunqi frowned in heartache. Just as he was about to step forward, he stopped his footsteps and stared fixedly in front of him, firmly controlling his impulse to embrace Xia Luobing into his arms.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Luobing turned her red eyes and muttered, “I remember. I remember everything!”
“Bing Bing, what did you say? What did you remember?” Huo Yunqi asked anxiously, “Have you recovered your memories?”
Although Xia Luobing had forgotten some unhappy things, she had also forgotten their deep feelings. If she could remember what happened before, it would be a joyful thing for him.
“No.” Xia Luobing shook her head with difficulty. Her hand that was supporting Huo Yunqi trembled slightly, and her lips trembled as she said, “My mother, she, she is …”
However, Xia Luobing kept replaying what had happened back then. She held Huo Yunqi’s nails and almost pinched them into her flesh.
When she and her mother went out to pick the wind to take photos and pa.s.sed a lavender garden, she ran happily among the flowers. Her mother took pictures of her with her camera.
Afterwards, she heard her mother’s miserable scream. A man took her hostage with a knife. When he saw her, the gangster seemed to want to attack her again. Her mother tightly grabbed the knife in the gangster’s hand. The white blade forcefully cut off her mother’s fingers, and the b.l.o.o.d.y and painful look stabbed her deeply.
Later, under her mother’s constant pleading and urging, she cried and ran. When she ran to the road, she fainted. When she woke up, she had already forgotten everything. Her father told her mother that she had died of illness.
“Ice!” Huo Yunqi hugged Xia Luobing tightly, feeling extremely distressed. He felt that all her tears had fallen on his clothes, and his heart was also wet.
