After a long time, the wave was over. Qiao Liang wrapped Zhang Lin's body in a bath towel, carried her out of the bathroom, entered the bedroom, put her on the large bed, then lay down next to her, lit a cigarette, and sat comfortably.
Smoking.
Zhang Lin lay quietly next to Qiao Liang and said after a while: "You haven't found a woman during this time?"
"Which woman am I looking for?" Qiao Liang asked.
Zhang Lin chuckled: "How do I know?"
Qiao Liang said seriously: "Don't you know that my greatest advantage is that I am not lewd and have a decent style of work?"
"Fuck you." Zhang Lin lightly hit Qiao Liang, "If you weren't horny, there wouldn't be any horny men in the world."
Qiao Liang chuckled: "Sister Lin, do you like my lustful nature?"
"I don't know. Anyway, if you're not good at that, I won't be nice to you."
"nonsense."
"Also, although being lustful is a normal physiological instinct of men, being infatuated is not good."
Qiao Liang suddenly felt guilty: "Sister Lin, do you think I'm quite sentimental?"
Zhang Lin was silent for a moment: "At least that's not how I feel at the moment."
"What happens next?"
"In the future..." Zhang Lin murmured, "No one can predict what will happen in the future. It's better to live the present moment first. Although it is said that people without long-term worries will have immediate worries, but thinking about the future all the time is asking for trouble."
Qiao Liang nodded, took a deep drag on the cigarette, and then put the cigarette to Zhang Lin's mouth: "Take a sip."
"I don't smoke."
"I know, but you can have a bite now."
Zhang Lin took a sip, then coughed, waving her hands: "No, I can't smoke."
Qiao Liang smiled: "Sister Lin, what do you think of women smoking?"
"It doesn't matter, everyone likes it. Men can smoke, why can't women?"
Qiao Liang smiled again, thinking of Wu Huiwen. The way she smoked was very elegant and touching.
Thinking of Wu Huiwen and the several ambiguities between himself and Wu Huiwen, Qiao Liang's body suddenly reacted.
Zhang Lin noticed it and stretched out her hand to look down: "Who are you thinking of?"
"I didn't expect anyone." Qiao Liang felt a little guilty. She was with Zhang Lin. At this moment, she thought of other women and seemed a little sorry for Zhang Lin.
"Lie." Zhang Lin looked at Qiao Liang with bright eyes.
Facing Zhang Lin's sharp eyes, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel even more guilty. Zhang Lin was a veteran in handling cases, and it would be difficult for him to escape if he tried to use his sword in front of her.
"I really didn't expect anyone." Although Qiao Liang felt guilty, she still spoke vehemently.
"You are so stubborn, your little thoughts can't escape my eyes." Zhang Lin snorted.
Qiao Liang smiled, put out the cigarette, lay down and hugged Zhang Lin, and whispered softly in her ear: "Sister Lin, I don't want to think about anyone now, I just want to be with you wholeheartedly..."
He said that Qiao Liang's hands were not honest.
In bed, a man's sweet words are the easiest to seduce a woman. Zhang Lin was no exception at this moment. She couldn't help but feel excited. She stopped asking questions and closed her eyes...
What happened next was so passionate that I don’t need to say much.
After it was over, Qiao Liang lay in Zhang Lin's warm and tender maternal arms and fell asleep soundly.
Qiao Liang fell asleep, but Zhang Lin was not sleepy. She looked at the little man lying in her arms and gently stroked his hair with a satisfied look and a warm smile, but her eyes were a bit thoughtful.
…
The next morning, Qiao Liang woke up, Zhang Lin was missing, and the smell of fried eggs wafted from the kitchen.
Qiao Liang lay on the bed and stretched out. He slept so soundly and deeply last night and was full of energy now.
Qiao Liang then got up and got dressed, then went to the bathroom to wash up. There was a toothbrush and toothbrush on the sink, and the toothpaste was squeezed out.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel relieved that Zhang Lin was really a considerate and attentive woman.
After washing up, Qiao Liang went to the restaurant. Zhang Lin was sitting at the dining table with breakfast ready.
"Come, have breakfast. After that I have to go back to the county. The driver will pick me up in a moment." Zhang Lin said.
Qiao Liang sat down and the two began to eat breakfast.
"Sister Lin, is the work going smoothly in the county recently?" Qiao Liang asked while eating.
"Not bad. After Ding Lei's death, Yu Jiaming took over Ding Lei's stall. He worked very hard and quickly reversed the previous chaotic and passive situation." Zhang Lin said.
Qiao Liang nodded: "Does Yu Jiaming listen to you?"
"Fortunately, everything I arranged can be completed quickly and efficiently."
"Well, this guy is good and has a bright future." Qiao Liang said with satisfaction.
"Good guy, I hear what you say, as if you are a city leader." Zhang Lin said with a smile.
Qiao Liang smiled: "Although I am not a city leader, but, hey, you know..."
Zhang Lin pursed her lips and smiled: "Boy, don't be so arrogant. Your halo is all given by Secretary An. Without Secretary An, you would be just an ordinary department-level cadre."
Qiao Liang nodded: "Well, I know this very well. I am very self-aware, that is, I am proud of myself in front of you, but I am very humble and low-key in front of outsiders."
Zhang Lin nodded: "Actually, I can feel that Secretary An is trusting and liking you more and more."
"How did you feel it?" Qiao Liang looked at Zhang Lin.
"They are all in the officialdom. You can feel this from some details."
Qiao Liang frowned: "You can feel it, and others should be able to feel it too."
"Yes, everyone is not a fool, especially other members of the Standing Committee." Zhang Lin said.
"Other members of the Standing Committee..." Qiao Liang repeated, his brows continuing to frown.
Zhang Lin said: "I am somewhat aware of the subtle relationships within the city's top management. I don't care about others. What I care about most is you."
"Why do you care about me?" Qiao Liang blinked.
Zhang Lin said slowly: "The higher the level, the more complicated and dangerous the struggle becomes. With your current position and identity, you must be careful and cautious when doing things. In other words, you must fulfill your duty and do your best."
My job is to serve Secretary An well, protect Secretary An’s interests, and prevent others from plotting against me."
"Plot?" Qiao Liang frowned even more tightly.
"Yes." Zhang Lin nodded and continued: "Actually, sometimes, the plot against you seems to be aimed at you, but in fact..."
Zhang Lin didn't say any more and looked at Qiao Liang meaningfully.
Qiao Liang nodded: "I understand, Sister Lin, thank you for reminding me, I will be careful."
"However, with your current experience and experience, no matter how careful you are, you may not be able to escape some plots." Zhang Lin said.
"What should we do?" Qiao Liang was a little annoyed.
Zhang Lin smiled calmly: "Sooner or later, what is supposed to come will come. Is it a blessing or a curse? You cannot avoid it. If you really can't avoid it, then face it bravely."
"But I still don't like it." Qiao Liang said.
Zhang Lin said: "There is nothing I can do if I don't like you. No one can avoid the reality. Therefore, if you can be on guard, you should try to be careful. Moreover, I am just assuming that with your cleverness in doing things, you may not necessarily be tricked."
."
Qiao Liang smiled bitterly: "You are trying to comfort me. You know that in front of those unpredictable big shots, I am really just an insignificant rookie."
