98. Winners and Losers are even more beautiful for Mommy who loves to sing
The hand around my waist was very tight. I struggled to move, so I lay down in his arms, closed my eyes, and took a nap openly. His unique strong breath mixed with the smell of green grass and earth around me,
Coupled with the warm sun hitting my face, my feelings are also blurred.
I think I woke up with a smile, because after squinting for a while, I actually had a sweet dream.
I dreamed that I was walking down the street with a very big belly, and he followed behind me with a frown and a helpless expression. Suddenly I stopped and started to feel abdominal pain. His face showed unprecedented panic and fear.
I was rushed to the hospital and went straight into the delivery room. When I came out, the nurse was holding a big fat baby, also a girl. He was dancing with joy and couldn't help himself.
Then suddenly I felt my body move, and I woke up from my dream. With my sleepy eyes, I saw the face above me, with a slight curvature at the corners of my lips. Although it was not as smiling as in the dream, it was equally handsome and extraordinary. It seemed that
I was so influenced by him that I even dreamed that we had a child...
"Are you awake?" Starry eyes turned down and looked at me. I felt the arm around me moving. When I turned around, I realized that there was a fish on the hook, or a big fish. I sat up and looked at him.
He calmly reeled in the line, untied the fish and placed it in the bucket next to him. When he looked out, he saw that there were already several fish inside.
He asked confusedly: "Have I slept for a long time?"
While collecting the fishing rod, someone said seriously: "It's not a long time, just a few hours. I slept until the saliva fell and made me wet all over, and I was snoring like a pig."
"Where am I?" I glared at him angrily, but looked at his chest with a guilty conscience. As a result, I laughed loudly and unscrupulously. Looking at his hearty smile in the bright sunshine, I froze in place.
As if fused with him in the dream.
His big hands covered my forehead and rubbed my short hair vigorously. My hair had grown a lot longer. It was no longer a stylus and could already be placed on my head. Then someone got a habit of rubbing it.
My hair.
"Why are you so dazed? Let's go." Xu Ziyang took the lead and walked back with the bucket. I followed closely and inexplicably turned my head to look at the river beach. Suddenly I felt that fishing is actually a good fun.

When I saw Xu Zijie again, I was a little surprised. He was dressed in military uniform and military boots. He had lost his original ruffian spirit and looked heroic. Only the upward curve of the corners of his lips revealed his true nature. This man has been like a man since the overpass incident.
He seemed to have disappeared, except for a harassing phone call and a text message on the night of the Chinese New Year, and then there was no further news.
"Qianqian, let's go for a walk together?"
I looked around and saw a green military jeep parked in the distance, not his original red sports car. In fact, at the beginning, I felt that Xu Zijie was too flamboyant in the government department. Nowadays, there are many angry young people on the Internet.
The second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people are particularly concerned by people. If they find something to do, public opinion will fly, which can directly crush people to death.
Xu Ziyang has to keep a low profile in this regard. He always travels in an ordinary black car and is not too extravagant.
I looked down at the mobile phone in my hand and a large bag of items I just bought from the supermarket. I smiled and said, "Let's go. The bag is quite heavy. I have to carry it back."
His slender hand stretched out, "Let me help you carry it."
I paused, hesitated for a moment, and handed the bag over. It was only ten minutes from the supermarket to the apartment, so there was no need to get too entangled in these matters. There was no way I could avoid him when he came to me, especially with his attitude.
That's considered modest. Plus that incident has already passed, so even if he takes me away, it won't do him any good.
Walk side by side, leaving a foot of distance between them.
In the silence, we could only hear each other's footsteps. I was wearing ordinary flat shoes, but Xu Zijie's military boots were not as loud as the knock on the ground. It was he who opened the topic: "Aren't you curious why I am wearing a military uniform?"
I raised my eyebrows, looked at him sideways, and saw him looking forward with a casual expression: "Official affairs are like the business world. Although it is not impossible to become a benevolent person without success, I am one step ahead of him, and it will be difficult to break through and surpass. Instead of that,
It’s better to find another place to stay stuck where you are. Military and political affairs, the army comes first, and then the government, they belong to two different state agencies. When we entered the police academy together and joined the army, he left before me, and I was more suitable than him.
In the military, everyone has his or her own strengths. In addition, the old man also means the same thing. If he doesn’t want us brothers to fight for power, then we should belong to different walks of life and give full play to their strengths."
In an understatement, he summarized his current situation, but I could hear the sourness in his words. The man who entered the military headquarters was more like being sent to the frontier. He didn't quite understand the internal conflicts of the Xu family, but he could understand that Xu Zijie was already behind the scenes.
In the officialdom, even if the military had any achievements, they were wiped out because of his departure. Now that he has returned to the military, he is undoubtedly starting from scratch.
Maybe he can get some benefits by relying on the power of the Xu family in politics, but in the army, without actual combat results, how can he convince the public? In other words, he is now walking a difficult road and has to climb up bit by bit. No wonder he
He suddenly disappeared. The old man he mentioned must be the person in power, and I'm not sure whether Xu Ziyang's tricks were involved.
Maybe there was a certain expression on my face, but Xu Zijie suddenly laughed sarcastically: "What? Do you think I'm pitiful?"
I shook my head, stopped and looked at him: "I won't sympathize with you, and in fact you don't need my sympathy. This is not a bad thing, and you are not in a desperate situation. Relatively speaking, many people fail when they fail.
If you can't stand up, you will be luckier than them all."
Xu Zijie is too sharp, easy to go to extremes, and cruel and ruthless in his methods. Going to the military department can polish his character, which is really not a good thing.
He looked at me intently for a while, then smiled with relief: "I finally know why Ziyang has such a strong obsession with you, because you are really different. Qianqian, if, I mean
If it hadn't been for that use and calculation, would you have feelings for me?"
"No." I replied softly.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? I was once the only one, so why was he the only one in your heart?"
I really want to answer him, there are not so many reasons, because he is Xu Ziyang, so I love him. And when I loved him, I didn't know that he was the only one, so I wouldn't stop loving him when I knew that the only one was two characters.
It's hard to say for sure when it comes to feelings, there aren't so many reasons and reasons, it's just who gets into whose heart first.
When he saw that I was silent, he uncharacteristically did not press any questions, so he turned around and continued walking forward. There was silence all the way, and no one spoke. It was only when I reached the downstairs of the apartment that I said, "Give me the bag."
Qian's eyes flashed with ridicule, he put the bag on the ground, turned around and left. But after taking a few steps, he stopped and declared without looking back: "Yu Qian, as long as you want it, as long as I have it, this promise will be valid forever.
I won’t let you go.” After saying that, he didn’t wait for my reply and strode forward. The slender military green figure finally became a tiny dot in my eyes, and then gradually disappeared.
Sighing lightly, stubborn man!
When Xu Ziyang came back in the evening, he saw that I was distracted and asked me what was wrong. After much hesitation, he told me about meeting Xu Zijie during the day. Since we chose to trust each other, we would not hide anything from him. After listening to my statement, he
He looked gloomy and said, "Don't have any contact with him again in the future."
I nodded, but stopped talking.
"What do you want to ask?"
"Is it your idea for Xu Zijie to go to the military headquarters?" He asked very tactfully, with no intention of exploring. I just wanted to make sure that he was involved in this matter. Who knew that he was like a firecracker that suddenly lit up, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
Angry, his voice turned cold: "Are you questioning me? I suggested that grandpa arrange this. What's wrong? The most effective way to avoid tripping on the same rope twice is to eliminate all possibilities before it happens."
"But he is your brother."
"When he secretly plotted against me and vowed to bring me down, did he consider me his brother?"
I stopped talking. I just wanted to talk to him about this matter, but I didn't want to make things worse. Instead, we got into a quarrel. This has always been the case since ancient times. If Xu Ziyang failed in that fight, then he would be the one now.
After being assigned to the military department, Xu Zijie held his head high in the officialdom. I loved this man and naturally didn't want him to lose, so I stood by him unconditionally at that time. However, I didn't want his methods to be too ruthless, and I hoped it would stop there.
.
They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into each other. After all, both of them have the surname Xu. If they could play the same number at the beginning, they must have a good relationship as brothers, so why bother to get to the point where they are now at odds with each other.
Also, Xu Ziyang, who uses such ruthless methods, makes me feel scared. At this moment, I haven’t seen his sinister eyes and cold face for a long time. During this period, his tenderness and love almost scare me.
I forgot that he still has this side.
Pulling his hand gently, he softened his voice and said: "Zi Yang, I just said that, I don't mean anything else. Let's not quarrel, okay?" The cold and hard lines finally softened, and he frowned and held his hand.
In the back of my mind, "I don't want to hear you mention him again."
This was a warning. My heart trembled, and I leaned against his chest as acquiescence.
It can be noticed that Xu Ziyang is very afraid of Xu Zijie, so he does everything possible to completely remove him from officialdom. There is a feeling that in addition to the struggle for power and position, there may be other conflicts between them.
I don’t know whether Xu Zijie impressed me too much during the day, or Xu Ziyang’s gloomy attitude frightened me later. I was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night. In the dream, Xu Zijie pointed at me and laughed loudly, laughing at me for being blind, and laughing at me that one day I would
He was crying, while Xu Ziyang stood nearby, watching all this with indifference.
Turning to the side, I realized that Xu Ziyang was not there. He touched the sheets and there was still warmth. It was obvious that he had just gotten up not long ago. He put on his coat and walked out of the bedroom to look for it. He saw that the study door was ajar and there was light inside.
