In the evening when the storm was approaching, the woman who appeared at the door of Qiao Liang's dormitory in Dashanli Living Base was Shao Bingyu.
From last Friday to this afternoon, Shao Bingyu has been accompanying Song Liang for investigation in the county. This morning he arrived in Sanjiang. After the investigation in Sanjiang, Song Liang returned to Jiangzhou. Shao Bingyu made an excuse not to go back with Song Liang and came directly.
In the mountains.
Seeing Shao Bingyu at this time, Qiao Liang said unexpectedly: "Bingyu, you... why are you here?"
"Why can't I come here?" Shao Bingyu looked very calm.
Qiao Liang let Shao Bingyu in, closed the door, and looked at her, still a little confused: "How did you know I would be here?"
"Intuition." Shao Bingyu said as he looked around the room and sighed in his heart. This dormitory is so simple. Qiao Liang lived in a place like this in the mountains.
"Your intuition is very accurate." Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Please sit down."
Shao Bingyu glanced at the old wooden chair and couldn't help but worry that it would collapse when sitting on it, so he sat on the edge of the bed.
Qiao Liang sat on the wooden chair and looked at Shao Bingyu: "Is the investigation with Minister Song over?"
Shao Bingyu nodded: "The last stop is Sanjiang. Minister Song has returned to Jiangzhou. I made an excuse not to go with him."
Qiao Liang nodded: "You came here today specifically to see me off?"
"No? Not welcome?" Shao Bingyu said.
Qiao Liang grinned: "Of course you can, warmly welcome."
"How to welcome?" Shao Bingyu looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang blinked, then stood up, picked up the thermos bottle, poured a glass of water for Shao Bingyu, and handed it to her: "Here, drink water first."
Shao Bingyu took the water cup and looked at it. It was the cup Qiao Liang drank from.
Shao Bingyu shushed, and then took a sip of water. Thinking that he was drinking water from the cup that Qiao Liang drank from, he felt something different in his heart.
Then Shao Bingyu said: "I came all the way to the mountains to see you, and you just treat me to a drink of water?"
"Dinner...this dinner..." Qiao Liang thought about it. Originally, he planned to order a bowl of noodles and eat it himself, but now that Shao Bingyu wants to have dinner here, it can't be so simple.
"Bingyu, you sit in the dormitory for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to make some dishes." Qiao Liang said before going out.
"No need." Shao Bingyu said.
"Huh?" Qiao Liang turned and looked at Shao Bingyu.
Shao Bingyu pointed to the plastic bag she brought on the three-drawer table: "When I came here, I bought some cooked food and vegetarian dishes..."
Qiao Liang opened the bag, looked at it, and smiled: "Hey, you can come as soon as you say you want to, and you can bring something with you. That's very polite of you."
Shao Bingyu pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qiao Liang continued: "It seems that you have already planned to eat at my place."
"Not only do you need to eat, but you also need to drink." Shao Bingyu said.
"Okay, let's eat and drink at the same time." Qiao Liang nodded and said, "But if you want to drink, I only have white wine here... Otherwise, I will drink white wine and you can drink boiled water."
"That's outrageous, you stingy guy!" Shao Bingyu said angrily.
"Uh... you want to drink white wine?" Qiao Liang opened her mouth half-open. Ever since she met Shao Bingyu, she rarely saw her drinking white wine at dinner parties.
"Yes, white wine." Shao Bingyu nodded.
"Are you okay?" Qiao Liang said.
"You don't have to worry about this." Shao Bingyu said.
"Okay then, let's go to the restaurant." Qiao Liang said.
"Why do you want to go to the restaurant? I think this place is very good." Shao Bingyu pointed to the three tables, "Just clean it up and just stay here."
"Okay, wait a minute." Qiao Liang said, going to the restaurant, finding the dishes, wine utensils and cutlery, and grabbing two bottles of white wine.
By the time Qiao Liang returned to the dormitory with her things, Shao Bingyu had already packed the things on the three-drawer table and placed the table across the bed. She sat on the edge of the bed with the broken chair opposite.
Then Qiao Liang and Shao Bingyu put the cooked and vegetarian dishes she brought together into the dishes, set the tableware, opened the white wine, and poured it on.
Then Qiao Liang sat down on the broken chair and looked at Shao Bingyu.
By now it was completely dark, the wind was blowing strongly outside, and the sound of falling rain could be heard.
In this environment, in the soft light, the cold and charming Shao Bingyu looks unique at the moment.
Shao Bingyu's expression at this time was as calm as usual, and in this silence, there was a faint hint of sadness between his brows.
Looking at Shao Bingyu's expression, Qiao Liang secretly thought that Bingmei came to the living base at this time. There was a storm tonight, so she might not be able to leave.
When he thought of this, Qiao Liang felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Shao Bingyu raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Liang: "Why don't you speak? What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking of you." Qiao Liang said.
"What do you miss me for?" Shao Bingyu asked.
"I want you to come see me at this time." Qiao Liang said.
Shao Bingyu breathed out softly: "You are leaving tomorrow. If I don't come to see you, I won't be able to see you before you leave, and I won't be able to see you off!"
Qiao Liang felt a little moved.
Shao Bingyu then raised his glass: "Qiao Liang, I wish you a happy journey and wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you!" Qiao Liang raised his glass and clinked it with Shao Bingyu, "I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want."
"Why do you want me to drink freely?" Shao Bingyu asked back, then drank the wine in one gulp.
It was the first time Qiao Liang saw Shao Bingyu drinking liquor so happily that she drank too much. Then, while pouring the wine, he asked her: "How much alcohol do you drink?"
"Why are you asking this? Are you planning to get me drunk?" Shao Bingyu said.
Qiao Liang laughed and shook his head: "No, no, I know it well and I can't let you drink too much."
"You don't have to worry about this. When it comes to drinking, sometimes it's better to drink with a close friend than a thousand cups. Sometimes, it's not enough to get drunk and everyone gets drunk." Shao Bingyu said as he picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and put it on Qiao's table.
In front of Liang.
Shao Bingyu's seemingly natural action made Qiao Liang's heart move, and then Qiao Liang pondered over what Shao Bingyu's words meant.
Then Shao Bingyu raised his glass again: "After going to the northwest, the climate there is not as good as that of Jiangdong. There may be some acclimatization, so take good care of yourself."
"Well, okay, I will." Qiao Liang agreed to clink glasses with Shao Bingyu, and she continued.
Seeing Shao Bingyu drinking so happily, Qiao Liang thought as he drank, this girl usually doesn't show off at dinner parties, she looks like she has a lot of alcohol.
As if he guessed what Qiao Liang was thinking, Shao Bingyu said: "I rarely drink liquor at public dinners, because I know that many men in the system have the hobby of making women drink. Once I know that you will drink
Baijiu will take advantage of the opportunity...so, I simply won’t give them this opportunity."
"Smart!" Qiao Liang nodded, "There are indeed many men in the system who like to drink from women. I hate such people. They are basically lustful people."
"But you are different. I have never heard or seen you persuading lesbians to drink at a wine bar." Shao Bingyu said.
"Because I'm not lewd." Qiao Liang grinned.
Shao Bingyu curled his lips: "Deputy County Chief Qiao, can we be more realistic when we speak?"
"Do you think I'm a lecher?" Qiao Liang said aggrievedly.
"That's not necessarily true, but I think it's normal for opposite sexes to attract each other. If you're not so horny that you don't like women, that's not normal." Shao Bingyu said.
"Do you think I will reach that point?" Qiao Liang smiled.
"Hmph -" Shao Bingyu snorted, "You know this yourself."
Qiao Liang chuckled: "Actually, I like all the beauties in the world."
"fraternity?" Shao Bingyu frowned.
"You can say that." Qiao Liang nodded shamelessly.
Shao Bingyu continued to frown: "Is this good? Is this really good?"
Qiao Liang also frowned: "Is this bad? Is this really bad?"
"Of course it's not good."
"Why is it bad?"
"Because..." Shao Bingyu considered, "Because this seems a bit chaotic..."
"Do you think my private life is messy?" Qiao Liang asked.
Shao Bingyu shook his head: "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Qiao Liang asked.
"I..." Shao Bingyu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qiao Liang secretly laughed, and then said seriously: "Actually, my biggest characteristic is my decency. I have never flirted with a beautiful woman..."
"Bah -" Shao Bingyu spat, "You didn't tease me once, but multiple times. You can tell me yourself. Not counting others, how many times did you tease me?"
"Haha..." Qiao Liang laughed, "Generally, I don't flirt with beauties easily, so any beauties I tease should feel honored."
"False!" Shao Bingyu glared at Qiao Liang, "I have never felt honored."
"Then how do you feel? Angry? Disgusted?" Qiao Liang said.
Shao Bingyu shook his head subconsciously.
"If you're not angry or disgusted, then you like it." Qiao Liang grinned.
Shao Bingyu looked at Qiao Liang with a helpless expression: "You are so slippery, I can't talk to you anymore, so I won't talk to you about this anymore."
"What did you say?"
Shao Bingyu raised his glass again: "With this glass of wine, I hope our friendship will last forever. I hope we can keep in touch frequently while you are working in the northwest."
"No problem, I will always listen to your reports." Qiao Liang said.
"Report?" Shao Bingyu frowned again, "You and I are both deputy directors, why should I report to you?"
"Just because we are good friends, just because I am Qiao Liang!" Qiao Liang patted her chest.
Seeing Qiao Liang's confident look, Shao Bingyu was silent for a moment and then drank.
Qiao Liang also drank.
After three glasses of wine, Shao Bingyu's fair face turned red.
Looking at Shao Bingyu's appearance at this moment, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel that she was very charming.
At this time, the rain outside became heavier, and the strong wind carried the rain and hit the windows, making a dense popping sound.
Listening to the violent storm outside, Shao Bingyu sighed slightly: "There is a storm tonight. I will see you off tonight. I don't know when I will see you again..."
Shao Bingyu's voice sounded a little sad.
Qiao Liang was silent for a moment: "I just left Jiangzhou temporarily, and I will come back again."
"Yes, you will come back again. I am waiting for you to come back. Everyone is waiting for you to come back..." Shao Bingyu nodded, then picked up the wine glass and drank it silently.
Qiao Liang also drank.
Then the two of them stopped talking and drank and ate in silence.
Before I knew it, the bottle of wine was gone.
"Still drinking?" Qiao Liang looked at Shao Bingyu tentatively. At this time, Shao Bingyu's face was even more flushed.
