Ark, they don't revolve around you

Chapter 16 I Don't Hate Her

Land's End is a special bar.

In the evening, Zhuang Ning found Shi Huaiya in the corner. Her blonde hair was dazzling and she had drunk a lot of wine before Zhuang Ning arrived.

As the director, she probably shouldn't have to work so hard, but probably in order to show that she is no worse than Chen Huijie, she has always been quite hard on herself in terms of work intensity.

It seems that she is under a lot of pressure... Zhuang Ning thought.

After changing into casual clothes, he was not very conspicuous except that his racial characteristics were unclear.

But through the crowd, Shi Huaiya still saw Zhuang Ning at a glance.

"Doc, you're here." Apparently the little tiger had been under a lot of pressure recently and drank a lot.

This is exactly what Zhuang Ning expected. Nothing can speak the truth better than wine.

He didn't speak first, and the atmosphere was a little subtly awkward.

Shi Huaiya felt that this was very wrong, but couldn't figure out where it was wrong.

Yes.

It's still the same eyes, right? When I saw him before, he wasn't so... distant.

"Doctor, how have you been lately?"

"Fortunately."

"What a ghost!" she retorted subconsciously.

"You are not a Victorian lady."

"I'm not one of them. Can a lady come to the Guards Bureau? Can she be the director and suppress the people under her?!" The little tiger showed his fangs, took another sip, and said softly, "But I think you're tired."

"Rather than saying that I'm tired, Director Shi, you're actually more tired recently, right?"

"You even deliberately replaced Officer Shi with Director Shi." Shi Huaiya smiled fiercely, "No one dares to joke with me like this recently."

“——”Zhuang Ning remained silent.

Shi Huaiya pursed her lips and said, "I've been a little tired lately... When it comes to downtown and slum gangs, I realize how complicated the relationships there are!"

She began to complain.

For example, a hall master refused to cooperate and even attacked the police.

For example, someone has a big boss from a business association behind him, who holds a high position of power.

Another example is foreign forces.

"This Longmen looked good and had been thriving, but after I really took it over, I realized it was all show and no substance," she complained indignantly.

Zhuang Ning carefully wrote down the names of the people she mentioned.

This was the list of people who should be targeted, and he listened with great interest, agreeing from time to time.

"Ah, Doctor." Shi Huaiya was a little drunk, having drunk a lot of wine. "Aren't you a little tipsy?"

From just now on, the little tiger has been pouring wine on himself, and this little action is really blatant.

But, drunkenness?

How long has it been since he was drunk?

"Doctor, how come your alcohol tolerance has increased?" Shi Huaiya complained, "You didn't drink that much before."

"Do you remember that after we defeated the Reunion Movement, you got drunk and even asked Amiya to help you go back home?"

"I won't get drunk."

He calmly stated a fact.

This is the credit of the system.

Many times, he complained that the system was a waste and was stingy with rewards, not getting drunk being one of the reasons.

"You suddenly have such a good alcohol tolerance, just like Xingxiong." Shi Huaiya was unhappy.

When she was unhappy, she kept silent, and the atmosphere became cold.

Zhuang Ning wanted to speak, but swallowed the words back.

He found it a little ridiculous that he couldn't even comfort others?

Whenever those words came out of his mouth, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Even the most hypocritical comfort is difficult to express.

——This is not possible.

Zhuang Ning added this item to his study list.

Comfort is a good opportunity to win people's hearts, and he must never be willful.

But Shi Huaiya just stared at him blankly, with a few tears in her eyes.

"You are really different now. The Pink Intestine Dragon didn't lie to me."

After all, she was worthy of being a superintendent. That little abnormality was like a dream, "Doctor, drink more!"

In fact, Shi Huaiya and the Doctor’s relationship is not that good, at least definitely not as good as the Doctor’s and Chen Huijie’s.

Most of the time, all Shi Huaiya could do was watch them chatting from a distance and occasionally interject.

Or it could be related to business orders, which she could only get access to because of her close relationship with the doctor.

The relationship between them was not bad, but not as close as that between Chen Huijie and her.

only friends.

But what does this mean?

When Shi Huaiya faced the doctor, she felt that she was not even his friend.

A few days ago, she received a letter from Chen Huijie, saying that the doctor would arrive in Longmen soon. She was a little excited at that time.

But Chen Huijie then tactfully said that PhDs are different now and one should be prepared for the worst.

She already felt that something was wrong, but only after actually coming into contact with it did she feel the gap.

Shi Huaiya felt irritated, but she didn't know why, and she even felt angry for no reason.

"It's all Fenchanglong's fault!" She started to curse Chen Huijie in a very unpleasant way.

Even so, Zhuang Ning did not react.

"Miss Chen is still very good..."

Kind words.

How is she doing?

Did she make you like this?

Shi Huaiya became even angrier, but he couldn't explode, so he could only gulp down the wine, and then he could no longer control his mouth.

"Zhuang Ning." She said loudly, "Wait, let's go to Rhode Island together, kick open Chen Huijie's door, and teach her a lesson!"

"You are drunk..."

"No, I'm serious... I've been fed up with her for a long time. Who is she looking at with such a cold face all day long? Has her mother been kidnapped?"

The more Shi Huaiya spoke, the angrier he became. "Well, having a Chixiao is great, having connections is great... Although I am also considered a connection, this is different!"

"She is so mean and never tells the truth. She hides everything and yells at everyone she meets. She scolds the newcomers until her throat is smoking and she still has to take medicine in the end. How ridiculous!"

"She... who can stand her?! I'm afraid you can't stand it either, right?"

It was natural for him to vent his anger, and Shi Huaiya felt better.

So he looked at Zhuang Ning.

I thought I would hear someone agreeing with me, but unexpectedly Zhuang Ning just looked thoughtful.

There was no expression on his face, neither approval nor disapproval, just a polite smile to cover it up.

Shi Huaiya had seen this kind of expression before, and had also seen it on this person's face.

But this was private, and the person they were talking about was Chen Huijie. Could he treat it like a business matter?

At that moment, Shi Huaiya suddenly felt a little frightened.

"PhD?"

"Director Shi Huaiya, is this how you view Miss Chen?"

"I..." Shi Huaiya was speechless for a moment.

She found her throat trembling and her voice came out in broken sounds.

"In fact, she still has advantages..."

"Although she is very strict with newcomers and subordinates, she is even stricter herself..."

"Besides, even though she cursed harshly, she rushed faster than anyone else when there was danger..."

"She just doesn't have much brains and is a little dumb... Doctor, that's really all."

Shi Huaiya and he looked into each other's eyes.

Even though I was in a state of confusion, I still managed to say, "You, don't hate her..."

Don't be disappointed with the entire Longmen just because you hate her.

Looking at her expression, Zhuang Ning suddenly understood.

"It was Miss Chen who came to see you."

He smiled and nodded: "Yeah, that's right, Officer Shi wouldn't suddenly ask me out for a drink."

His smile was genuine. “Please tell her I don’t hate her.”

"We will continue to cooperate in the future, so how can we hate each other?"

He found that Shi Huaiya's expression became even uglier, as if she was frozen.
