Jin Yulong was so loyal that he dared to stay naked and accompany Tang Lin in the bath for three hours. In the end, the former martial arts champion almost collapsed from the bath. He felt that he would never come to the bath again in his life.
It was already noon when the two of them went out. Jin Yulong drove Tang Lin directly to Lao Han Noodle House. Lao Han was naturally very happy when he saw him. He is an honest person, and his happiness or displeasure will be shown directly on his face.
We didn't have much time, so we had two large bowls of wide spicy noodles, a large plate of soy sauce beef, and a large plate of cucumbers. The two of them didn't drink because they had to go to work in the afternoon.
Jin Yulong just went back to class to report in. He just got home last night. Lin Yan picked him up at the airport. When he woke up this morning, he came directly to Tang Lin. Anyway, let nature take its course. After meeting Lin Yan, he wanted to go to the airport to pick him up.
I met Tang Lin for a while.
"Brother Lin, the Tianying security system has made phased progress, and the actual progress of the attack is already halfway through, haha." Jin Yulong waited until dinner to tell Tang Lin the good news.
Tang Lin was very happy when he heard this, but he couldn't be happy because civil servants were not allowed to do business directly, especially if he chose to wear a police uniform.
Now that he and Li Hongjie were in such a state, it was impossible for him to ask her to help establish and control the new company. Moreover, Heizi was still in the process of tempering, so everything was not smooth yet.
"Well, technically I believe you, there is no problem, but don't go too hard when you go out alone in the wild. If you like photography, bring a camera and a few good lenses. Take pictures of the blue sky, desert, and flying eagles and animals in the wild.
Pat the insect and bird oasis, so exciting, haha.”
Jin Yulong's face was filled with excitement, "You can also take photos of night scenes, the sky, and the Beidou Stars. You have to wait for hours on end in the vast Gobi desert. One exposure can take dozens of minutes, but the things you take are really shocking. I'm like
I took a lot of photos in just one visit. If you have time in a few days, you can come to my house and take a look, okay?"
Tang Lin nodded in agreement. In fact, he didn't have many friends in Zhongzhou until now, and there were quite a few women who were pestering him. Jin Yulong and he hit it off instantly and now they have become brothers. It's a pity that he is away most of the time. The two of them.
After dinner, Jin Yulong drove Tang Lin back to the city hall, telling him several times along the way that if something happened, he was short of money or someone, he must come to him as soon as possible.
That’s what brothers are for!
Jin Yulong said this last thing before leaving.
Tang Lin stood at the door of the municipal government compound and watched Jin Yulong's Volvo disappear before turning back and walking back. He happened to run into Li Hongjie who was running away. He had not seen her when he returned from going out with the old man.
The two looked at each other and smiled, but Li Hongjie looked very haggard and had obvious dark circles under her eyes. She was obviously at two extremes in the city hall. One wore heavy makeup and sprayed half a bottle of perfume a day, while the other wore no makeup except for basic skin cream.
No need to do it, just put my hair in a bun on the back of my head.
"HI, I'm back." But Li Hongjie raised her hand to say hello surprisingly generously.
"Well, I'm back. Sister, where are you going?" Tang Lin responded as naturally as possible, but his name changed subtly. Before, he had always called Sister Li. This time, Li was gone, leaving only one sister.
This subtle change made Li Hongjie's body tremble, and her previously well-disguised aura suddenly relaxed, "I...I'm going out to eat...you go in, it won't be good for people to see you."
Tang Lin smiled, and instead of going back, he turned around and raised his arm directly on Li Hongjie's shoulders. Li Hongjie was startled, hurriedly broke away, and even raised her legs to run away. Tang Lin chased after him, one after another, just like the actors.
It was like a movie. But when Tang Lin wanted to chase her, she would definitely not be able to run away.
"Sister, why are you running away? Am I eating people?" Tang Lin smiled and stretched out his arm to block Li Hongjie.
Li Hongjie was shocked and angry, "You are stupid. Now that you are favored by the old man of the Huang family, you will have a bright future. What will others think if you are so close to me? You... you just have to have time to have a meal or something together after work."
Already..."
Li Hongjie was actually very nervous. She could never forget how kind Tang Lin was to her that night. She didn't think that he disliked her because he didn't want her body that night. On the contrary, she felt that he respected her, understood her, and was considerate of her. That night they
Lying side by side on the carpet in front of the fire, chatting and sleeping, she slept soundly and soundly.
But Tang Lin was suddenly borrowed by the Huang family without any warning. Tang Lin sent her a text message to say goodbye before leaving, but then she would have random thoughts and couldn't sleep at night. She often had insomnia and leaned against the fireplace alone.
Drinking, drinking constantly, she knew she shouldn't do this, but without Tang Lin by her side, she really couldn't find the direction in life.
She even called her mother who was far away in Xindu to cry bitterly, which frightened her mother so much that she immediately wanted to fly over to accompany her, but she sternly refused. She was better off on her own. Although she was lonely and helpless, and despite the pain and struggle, these
, she has long been accustomed to suffering silently alone.
But every time she made up her mind to keep a distance from Tang Lin, she would collapse the moment she saw Tang Lin again. She really had no choice.
Tang Lin still had a smile on his face, a faint smile in the sunshine, "Sister, the whole city government knows that I am close to you, so it is normal for us to talk and smile. If we suddenly avoid each other when we meet, then what?
People will definitely spread rumors that I made you pregnant, wanted to do something that the old man didn't want, abandoned you, or something like that, do you believe it?"
Li Hongjie was shocked, but then she agreed with Tang Lin's statement. Indeed, rumors are rife in the city government these days, and many of them spread from the office desk to the dining table.
Deliberate avoidance would indeed be counterproductive. She didn't say anything for a long time and kept walking forward with her head lowered. Tang Lin didn't say a word and followed behind her silently, and then they entered a Pizza Hut together.
After ordering and sitting down, Tang Lin drank coffee and watched Li Hongjie eat alone. He invited her to eat this meal, and Li Hongjie didn't refuse until he had no money at all.
No one but her dead husband ever bought her pizza.
"You've lost weight again. Eat more beef to replenish your body." Li Hongjie's mood quickly returned to normal. Some scientists said that women are actually food animals. That is, when women eat the food they like, they usually
Become inexplicably happy and excited, and you will quickly forget the previous unhappiness.
Tang Lin was thinking about this strange theory in his mind, but at least it applied to Li Hongjie in front of him.
"Beef? Beef is a bit expensive, sister. Why don't you treat me to a meal if you have nothing to do? I'm just having food and clothing for now. You don't know." Tang Lin was very relaxed. Only when he relaxed could Li Hongjie relax more. In fact,
He has been worried about Li Hongjie for the past half month, but he has not contacted her. He is still the same person. Li Hongjie must defeat herself and adapt to everything in front of her.
Li Hongjie raised her head and glanced at him, a little bitterly, "Do you want me to invite you? Besides, you don't have much time. In fact... I have been thinking about what you said last time, and I also feel that it is too hard to live like this in the city hall...
But I...I still can't make up my mind to leave. I've persisted for so many years...Maybe things will turn around soon..."
Tang Lin suddenly raised his hand and knocked her on the head, "Sister, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Let me tell you something you don't want to hear. Now that you stay in the city hall, you will suffer nothing but pain for yourself and others.
What impact does it have? If someone is a wolf, you are a little sheep, but you think you are wearing wolf's clothing, but the reality is that you yourself are very simple and kind. The things you pretended worked at first, but now they are useless, really.
"
"Sister, only I can tell you this. It's not that I'm great or a good person, but that I don't want to see you continue to torture yourself and suffer. Of course, it's not easy for you to accept it all at once. Don't worry.
Take your time, anyway, I will come back and I won’t go out again before the year..."
