When A Snail Falls In Love

Chapter 31

Returning to Beijing, Ji Bai didn't intend to concern unrelated people or notify his family. After he landed, Ji Bai and Xu Xu took a taxi to a motel close by the police station on the south of the city.

The noisy and crowded capital evening, brilliant sunset shines brightly over tall buildings. The motel is very humble- white five-story building. The hallway covered with an old red carpet, the walls painted with the yellow color of the 1990s. The state-owned enterprise front desk staff is warm as always.

However, Ji Bai didn't care about it, and Xu Xu wouldn't even more. They booked two rooms and then carried the luggage up the stairs and into their own room.

Ji Bai took a shower, put on trousers and a loose t-shirt. He just turned on the computer, someone knocked at the door.

It's Xu Xu. Standing at the door holding the laptop. The pale face faintly said: "Are we working today?"

She just showered, changed to a loose T-shirt and casual pants. Her hair was still wet, sticking to the forehead; her eyes are abnormal black and clear like the eyes of a small animal.

Ji Bai looked away from her face and turned to let into the room.

The room was pathetically small in this 3 stars motel. There were only 2 wood chairs, there was Ji Bai's luggage on one, and he was sitting on the other. Work is more important, Xu Xu didn't mind and sat down directly on the bed, then turned on the computer to continue to discuss with him.

In fact that they were in Beijing city and far away from Lin city, so they could only go over the case once again, to see if they can find any other clues. We discussed for a while without progress so they stopped. Xu Xu did not intend to go back to her room, continued to look over Ye Zi Xi's financial information. Ji Bai leaned against the chair, looked at the night time out the window, and quietly drank his tea.

The room silent; the orange light created an old warm air. Just as Ji Bai tilted his eyes, he immediately saw Xu Xu sitting on the pure white sheets. The loose T-shirt made her look smaller than usual, more delicate, faintly giving off the scent of the bath gel making the whole room seem to have a soft and clean atmosphere.

Just then, the phone rang and broke the silence in the room. Xu Xu raised her pair of dark eyes glancing over; Ji Bai met her eyes for a second. He then picked up the phone, and

turned away to look out the window. Shu Hang was calling. Before coming to Beijing, Ji Bai phoned Shu Hang to tell him about

the situation. Shu Hang also graduated from H University like Ye Xi. He has wide connections, and with his help, the pace of the investigation was a lot more efficient. Shu Hang is a clever man. He only called to tell Ji Bai that he was taking him to the H

University without asking any further questions. Then he grinned, implying to Ji Bai to go out for a drink.Ji Bai undoubtedly refused: "I don't have the time, all of you go ahead."

Shu Hang persisted: "Let's go out, *a night is worth a thousand gold. The people will forgive you even if you stop working so hard for one day.

"Scram." Ji Bai said and hung up the phone.

Xu Xu didn't want to eavesdrop, but still heard their conversation. She was a little shocked to hear his playful tone telling someone to "scram". She raised her head once again to see Ji Bai's tall body leaning against the chair. His handsome was showing a lazy smile, a completely different person from the usually stern faced Ji Bai.

So this was the appearance he had in his private life. Xu Xu lowered her head, and continued to work. Who would have thought a few minutes later, coming from downstairs were the sounds of a car engine and car horn. The small motel instantly became noisy within seconds.
