Chapter 596 Qi Fa returns from City A

 This is the second year since the mysterious disappearance.

Fatty Peng sat in the noodle shop across the street, ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and chatted with the proprietress.

 “Why did you come over to eat noodles by yourself today? Where is your colleague?”

Fatty Peng took a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth: "Don't mention it. After he came back from City A, he seemed to be a different person. Now he is probably going somewhere to work around again."

The landlady smiled and was wiping the table with a rag.

“Why don’t you call him crazy now?”

“Well...it seems like I haven’t called him that for a long time.

 The main thing is that he is not too crazy now..."

Fatty Peng said, looking into the distance.

“When the captain didn’t come back, I waited at the entrance of Guangming Primary School for a whole day and a night, and was finally kidnapped back to City C by Xiaoyu.

But Qi Fa is much harder to tie than me.

Xiaoyu said that they sent out many people, but in the end they couldn't move him at all. They could only let him stand at the door like a statue.

Later on, changes occurred around him and cracks appeared on the ground, so no one could care about him.

 When everything returned to normal and he returned to the team, he looked like a different person. "

Fatty Peng sighed softly: "Forget it, let's not mention him."

He buried his head and continued eating noodles.

 It was almost lunch time, and there were many more customers in the noodle shop. The landlady did not chat with him, but was busy greeting other customers.

 “Come over for some noodles?

Peng Kuan is inside. How about you sit at the same table with him? "

 The landlady was at the door, greeting a man with a thin face.

When Fatty Peng heard his name, he looked up and saw Qi Fa smiling and nodding to the landlady, then striding towards him.

 “I guessed he was here.

 He always told me that the noodles here are delicious and the boss lady is pretty.

 So every time I couldn't find him, I would guess that he would be here with you. "

Qi Fa's words made both Fatty Peng and the noodle shop owner's wife blush.

“Oh, why would he say such a thing to you? I’m so embarrassed.

Hurry up and sit down. Whatever you want to eat, I'll cook it for you. "

 “A bowl of beef noodles.

By the way, can you borrow the toilet? I have to wash my hands before eating. "

 The landlady smiled and pointed Qi Fa in the direction.

 “It is a good habit to be clean.

 The toilet is inside, you can see it if you walk straight in from here. "

Fatty Peng frowned as he watched Qi Fa walk into the toilet, and then watched him wash his hands and dry them with paper towels before walking towards him. An uncomfortable feeling arose in his heart again.

“Qifa, why don’t you give me a good beating?

 Or you tell me to get lost.

 You say "go away" and I'll listen.

 I'm really not used to the way you are now. "

Qi Fa smiled and tapped Fatty Peng's head lightly with his hand.

 “What are you talking about?”

As he was talking, the noodle shop owner’s wife had already brought a bowl of beef noodles.

 And this bowl of beef noodles has a thicker layer of beef on top than Fatty Peng's bowl.

Fatty Peng looked at the landlady in shock, then turned to look at Qi Fa. He was so angry that he was almost speechless.

“Don’t be nervous, it’s impossible for the boss lady to like me.” Qi Fa laughed and teased Fatty Peng again.

Fatty Peng was so angry that he even stuttered when he spoke.

 “You...what are you talking about?

me…"

 Halfway through his words, he saw the look the landlady directed at him and could only quickly shut up.

Seeing her turn her head, he continued:

 “Do you know what you look like now?”

Qi Fa picked up a piece of beef nonchalantly: "What does it look like?"

  "Like Brother Bai."   The beef Qi Fa was holding paused in the air.

 “You live your life like him.”

Qi Fa lowered his head and stuffed the beef into his mouth with a wry smile.

"Is not it good?

I have low emotional intelligence and don’t know how to behave. Isn’t it good to learn from the strengths of others? "

Fatty Peng’s face also darkened.

“I didn’t say it was bad.

 I just feel that you always smile at me, but I can’t feel your happiness.

Qi Fa, Captain, he did not die, nor did he abandon us. He was just living the life he should live in another world.

Xiaoyu told me this..."

Qi Fa smiled and stuffed another big mouthful of beef into his mouth.

“I know, you don’t have to say these words to me.

 I am not a person who often feels happy. I often don’t even know what the meaning of life is.

 But now I have learned to smile all the time. When I smile like this, my brain will think that I am happy.

You don’t have to worry about me.

 Actually, I seem to have slowly found something I want to do recently. "

 He said, taking out a notebook from his backpack.

“Look, this is... the captain’s previous work record.

 Grandma Li at No. 62 Bajiao Street, her son has disappeared and her only granddaughter has a strange disease.

 And here, an owner of Building 12 in Hexi Community lives alone, and his neighbors have not seen him go out for several months...

 Every person recorded here, I have visited them. "

In the book in Qi Fa's hand, a black handwriting filled in the forms inside.

 But if you look carefully, you will find that there is a new blue writing inside, filling in other spaces in the book.

“I just wanted to see what unfinished work he had.

 But later I discovered that in the process of doing these things, I was also healing myself. "

Fatty Peng nodded thoughtfully.

“Well, if you can say that, I feel more relieved.

However, what you have done is a good thing, but Lu Shi doesn't seem to like people who do too much work. "

Qi Fa smiled and took back the notebook in front of him.

 “Then you reminded me of something.”

"whats the matter?"

　　"I seem to have beaten Lu Shi too few times recently."

Fatty Peng was stunned for a moment: "Yes, just keep your current expression. The way you talk now is exactly the same as that crazy Qi before."

Qi Fa burst out laughing. After he finished laughing, he tightened his expression and looked at Fatty Peng seriously.

“There is one more serious thing I want to tell you.

  Lv Shi's performance in leading the team is so poor, there is a high probability that he will be demoted.

 When the time comes, I want to compete to be the next captain. "

Fatty Peng looked at him doubtfully: "Do you need to learn this?"

Qi Fa raised his hand and knocked on his head.

“What nonsense are you talking about?

  I really like this profession and really want to be the captain.

 Tell me about the people in the team now. Which one is more suitable to be the captain than me? "

Fatty Peng recalled the faces of each of his colleagues and felt that Qi Fa was indeed the most suitable candidate.

 “That’s right. It makes sense.”

 …

 One month later, in the office of the duty team in the fifth block, Qi Fa was successfully elected as the captain.

 He took over the armband that Captain Zhou once wore, and also took over the responsibilities he once shouldered.
