After talking to Feng Yunming on the phone, because it was already quite late, Qiao Liang did not plan to go back to Songbei, and planned to spend the night in a dormitory in the city.
Sitting in the car, Qiao Liang suddenly thought that Ding Xiaoyun had been here for a few days on a temporary basis. Except for Ding Xiaoyun coming to greet him the day he came, he had never seen him again.
Thinking in his mind, Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and called Ding Xiaoyun.
When the call was connected, Qiao Liang asked, "What are you doing?"
"We're in the dormitory, otherwise we can still go shopping so late?" Ding Xiaoyun asked with a smile.
"Is it convenient now? I'll go and sit with you." Qiao Liang said.
"Okay, come over." Ding Xiaoyun readily agreed, feeling inexplicably excited.
"Okay, I'll go over now." Qiao Liang said.
Qiao Liang knew Ding Xiaoyun's dormitory. After taking the car there, Qiao Liang went upstairs and saw that the door of Ding Xiaoyun's dormitory was ajar. Knowing that Ding Xiaoyun had left the door open for him, a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
After pushing the door open and going in, Qiao Liang closed the door with his backhand.
Ding Xiaoyun was sitting in the living room watching TV. Seeing Qiao Liang arrive, Ding Xiaoyun stood up with a smile, "Why do you want to come to my place so late?"
"I came to the city overnight to do some errands. After I finished my errands, I wanted to come and see you," Qiao Liang said.
"I asked why it's so late." Ding Xiaoyun was stunned, and then said, "Are you hungry? I'll cook you some supper."
"No, cooking is too troublesome, why not order takeout and then open a bottle of red wine and have a drink." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Okay." Ding Xiaoyun nodded, with a look of anticipation in her eyes. After arriving in Jiangzhou, she had not had the chance to have a drink with Qiao Liang alone. In the past few days, she actually wanted to go to Songbei to find Qiao Liang.
But since she was new here, she had been getting familiar with her work and was quite busy, so she couldn't take care of other things.
Qiao Liang took out his mobile phone and said, "I know there is a restaurant with delicious grilled fish. Let's order some grilled fish."
"Okay, I haven't eaten grilled fish for a long time. Just talking about it makes my mouth water." Ding Xiaoyun said with a smile.
Qiao Liang quickly completed the order on his mobile phone, turned around and glanced around Ding Xiaoyun's room, and said with a smile, "You don't seem to have any wine here."
"I just came here not long ago, and I forgot to buy some wine to stock up." Ding Xiaoyun shook his head and smiled, "But there is a tobacco and alcohol store downstairs, I will go down and buy some."
Ding Xiaoyun went downstairs to buy wine, and Qiao Liang started wandering around Ding Xiaoyun's house. The dormitory where Ding Xiaoyun lived had a layout of two bedrooms and one living room. The house was not big and had some age, but Sheng kept the house well. It looked like
Clean and elegant.
Ding Xiaoyun has obviously not rearranged the room in the past few days since he has lived in it. It is similar to the decoration that Qiao Liang saw when he sent him up.
After about a few minutes, Ding Xiaoyun came up with a box of red wine. Seeing this, Qiao Liang quickly went over to pick it up.
"Xiaoyun, have you adapted to the climate and food here in Jiangzhou these days?" Qiao Liang asked with concern as he put down the wine.
"It's okay. I can adapt to Liangbei. Is it possible that I can't adapt to such a comfortable climate in Jiangzhou?" Ding Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"That's different. After all, you grew up in the northwest and are used to the climate in the northwest. Although Jiangzhou has a pleasant climate, I'm sure you won't be able to adapt to it as someone who came from the northwest, especially in winter." Qiao Liang said.
"Do you think I am such a delicate woman?" Ding Xiaoyun smiled and blinked.
"That's true." Qiao Liang smiled.
The two sat down, and Ding Xiaoyun stared straight at Qiao Liang.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile.
"You don't have any flowers on your face, but your ability to flirt with women is quite good." Ding Xiaoyun covered his mouth and chuckled, "I just arrived in Jiangzhou a few days ago, and someone asked me about you, and said they wanted to come to Jiangzhou to see me.
In my opinion, looking for me is fake, but looking for you is the real thing."
"Who is it?" Qiao Liang didn't react for a moment.
"Who else could it be, Director He?" Ding Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"He Qingqing?" Qiao Liang suddenly thought of He Qingqing's beautiful face, and felt a little moved. Unexpectedly, He Qingqing was still thinking about him.
Thinking of He Qingqing, Qiao Liang couldn't help but think of Ma Yuanxiang. His relationship with He Qingqing was relatively innocent, but he and Ma Yuanxiang had a close relationship. Before leaving Liangbei, he asked Ma Yuanxiang if he was willing to come to Jiangzhou.
It's a pity that Ma Yuanxiang can't let go of her family and work in Liangbei.
Seeing Qiao Liang's silence, Ding Xiaoyun felt a little sour for no reason, but he soon felt relieved and teased Qiao Liang with a smile, "What, are you missing Director He?"
"When I was working in Liangbei, Director He gave me a lot of support in my work. I still miss her a lot." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Just missing it?" Ding Xiaoyun blinked.
"Of course." Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun looked at each other and asked, "otherwise, what do you think the relationship between me and her should be?"
"How do I know this? I'm not a roundworm in your belly, so I don't know if there is any relationship between you and Director He." Ding Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"Then I will take out my heart and show it to you, and you will know." Qiao Liang chuckled.
Ding Xiaoyun's face suddenly turned red and he said angrily, "That's nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious." Qiao Liang stood up with a smile and sat next to Ding Xiaoyun. When Ding Xiaoyun stood up and prepared to escape, Qiao Liang immediately hugged Ding Xiaoyun's waist.
"Don't do this, just in case...if anyone sees..."
"This is your dormitory, and the door is closed. Who can see it?" Qiao Liang interrupted Ding Xiaoyun.
Ding Xiaoyun's face was as red as the sunset in the evening, but she didn't say anything at this moment and let Qiao Liang hug her. It was just her subconscious reaction of nervousness and shyness. She did not reject Qiao Liang's actions in her heart. On the contrary, Ding Xiaoyun still felt deep in her heart.
There is an inexplicable expectation.
Ding Xiaoyun, who was nervous and shy, had a unique beauty, which made Qiao Liang slightly lost in thought...
Just when Qiao Liang wanted to take a step further, there was a knock on the door.
Ding Xiaoyun was startled when he heard the knock on the door, and subconsciously stood up and distanced himself from Qiao Liang.
"Don't be nervous, the grilled fish delivery should have arrived." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
Qiao Liang went to open the door, and sure enough, the grilled fish arrived. Qiao Liang brought the grilled fish in and closed the door smoothly.
"Here, open the red wine and get ready to eat." Qiao Liang said with a smile, smelling the aroma of grilled fish, feeling hungry.
Ding Xiaoyun opened the red wine, poured a glass for both of them, and sat down face to face with Qiao Liang.
"This glass of wine should be the first glass of wine we really drink when I come to Jiangzhou." Ding Xiaoyun said.
"Yes, I was going to give you a welcome feast last time, but the city prepared a welcome banquet for you that night, and we didn't make it." Qiao Liang smacked his lips, "But it's not too late to have a drink now, come and wish me in advance.
Everything will go well for you during the next two years of your temporary stay in Jiangzhou."
"Well, thank you." Ding Xiaoyun and Qiao Liang clinked their glasses and drank one in one gulp.
When Qiao Liang mentioned what happened last time, he immediately thought of Chu Heng and Chu Heng's abnormal behavior that day.
Glancing at Ding Xiaoyun, Qiao Liang asked, "Xiaoyun, has Chu Heng had any unusual reactions these days when you have been working?"
"It's okay. He just cares about me and often greets me." Ding Xiaoyun frowned and asked Qiao Liang, "Qiao Liang, is Mayor Chu usually very caring about others?"
"Just him?" Qiao Liang sneered, "I don't know if he cares about people, but I know he is very perceptive. Don't be fooled by his appearance."
"No, I have always kept an appropriate distance from him. Except for work contacts, I refused all other contacts. Mayor Chu wanted to invite me to dinner twice, but I made excuses to avoid it," Ding Xiaoyun said.
"Well, pay more attention to yourself and don't get too close to him anyway." Qiao Liang reminded.
"Don't worry, I will keep a distance from him." Ding Xiaoyun nodded, staring at Qiao Liang with a burning gaze, and suddenly said, "If I get close to him, will you be jealous?"
Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ding Xiaoyun would say such a thing. He couldn't help but grinned, "Yes."
Ding Xiaoyun's face turned red at the moment. She didn't even expect that she had just said such words casually. Seeing Qiao Liang looking at her, Ding Xiaoyun lowered her head shyly, not daring to look into Qiao Liang's eyes.
Qiao Liang became more serious at this time and said, "Actually, what I'm more worried about is your safety. This person is insidious and cunning. Who knows if his attentiveness to you is hidden from evil intentions. Anyway, you are out of his way."
"Don't worry, you have reminded me repeatedly. I have long regarded him as a dangerous person. Except for contacts at work, I will pay attention to everything else." Ding Xiaoyun said.
Qiao Liang nodded when he heard this, picked up the wine and filled it for the two of them, while calling Ding Xiaoyun, "Come, try our Jiangzhou grilled fish."
"Okay." Ding Xiaoyun picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish to taste.
At this time, Qiao Liang picked up the wine glass, walked to Ding Xiaoyun's side and sat down.
The two were next to each other again. Ding Xiaoyun turned his head and glanced at Qiao Liang, his ears feeling slightly hot.
Qiao Liang also picked up a piece of fish and started eating it, then said, "Xiaoyun, let's continue drinking."
"I just drank a drink directly, please let me slow down." Ding Xiaoyun said softly.
"I remember you have a good drinking capacity, so just one drink is nothing." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Then don't drink so fast, as you will get drunk easily." Ding Xiaoyun looked at Qiao Liang with an inexplicable light in his eyes, "You don't want to get me drunk, do you?"
"What do you think?" Qiao Liang laughed and slowly approached Ding Xiaoyun.
The two bodies were getting closer and closer, and Ding Xiaoyun could already feel Qiao Liang's hot breath on his face.
Looking at Qiao Liang's fiery gaze, Ding Xiaoyun felt as if he was about to melt, and avoided it a little shyly. Finally, as if encouraged, he slowly closed his eyes... (To be continued)
