Although the weather was still hot, the river water was cold. The river water quickly cooled his body. Even though the blood in his veins was washed by alcohol, it cooled down instantly under the stimulation.
Xiao Zheng struggled, but his body seemed to be filled with lead, heavy and weak. His struggle only made him sink quickly. He felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the world outside the water, and suddenly flashed in his mind
A thought: This should be the feeling of leaving this world.
He suddenly felt infinitely tired and too lazy to struggle...
He did not expect that under the calm lake surface, there was an undercurrent in the lake, which was like a shrimp, a soldier, and a crab general, quietly hugging him and dragging him to a lower place. No wonder some people say that the water in Jingzhou leads to the East China Sea. So he
Are you being taken to see the Dragon King?
Xiao Zheng smiled helplessly under the water, but he knew that there should be no smile on his face. His mind seemed to have lost contact with his body. His body was already controlled by the river water.
"Xiao Zheng!" Someone seemed to be shouting his name. The voice came from nowhere. It passed through the water and passed into his weak body. From under the water? From the street? From the air? Xiao Zheng couldn't tell.
Knowing that this voice carries a familiar flavor to him.
There was a sound of splashing water, and someone broke through the closed water surface and came under the water. The dexterous and graceful figure reached the water and searched around. He soon found Xiao Zheng who was being carried away by the undercurrent and swam hard towards him.
After a few strokes, it hooked his body.
Then, before Xiao Zheng could catch her, she swam behind him, put her arms around his neck, put her feet in the water, and paddled with one arm, dragging him to the shore. Xiao Zheng faintly felt that there was a
The arms moved him powerfully, and the soft elasticity attached to his back allowed Xiao Zheng, who was about to lose his physical sensation, to regain his senses.
But he did not dare to move, because he knew that in the water, any action of a drowning person would only bring resistance to the rescuer, so he allowed the woman to lead him to the shore.
"Give me your hand!" "Come up quickly!" someone shouted from the shore, and the voice cut through the empty alley.
Xiao Zheng's arm was grabbed by someone and dragged to the shore. Then, a voice shouted: "Mr. Xiao, please come up quickly!"
Xiao Zheng ate a lot of water and was patted and pushed. After that, he vomited out all the water he drank and the previous drinks, and his consciousness recovered a little. Only then did he see Li Haiyan next to him.
Zhong, and Xiao Jingyu, who was soaked with water and looked worried. Just now, the strong arms and the flexibility attached to the back turned out to be Xiao Jingyu's! Tenderness and touch could not be suppressed in the body that was cooled by the river water.
"Why...are you...here?" He was agitated in his heart, but his voice was weak.
Li Haiyan said: "Chief Xiao, Chief Xiao, please be careful of catching a cold. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's find a place." Xiao Jingyu said: "Okay, quickly find a place." Li Haiyan said: "It's not far away from here.
The nearest one is Bailu Hotel. This hotel has a back door and is less likely to attract attention." Xiao Jingyu made a quick decision: "Then go there."
Several people left the river, disappeared into the alley, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the alley where Xiao Zhong parked his car.
Xiao Zheng looked up accidentally and inadvertently saw the doorway where he had been sitting before. The door was also closed now. They hurried past.
Just after they passed by for a while, the old man opened the door, stuck his head out, looked in the direction where Xiao Zheng and the others were leaving, murmured "I will survive the catastrophe", and then closed the door slowly.
The old man returned to the house, picked up the Maojiu that Xiao Zheng had blown to his mouth before, poured a small cup, took a sip, and sighed: "I haven't had this taste in a long time, County Magistrate Xiao, I entrusted you with it."
blessing."
Although it was the turn of summer and autumn, the chill in the water could penetrate the body and penetrate into the organs. Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu walked in the alley for a while, then sneezed several times in a row, obviously showing signs of a cold. They got into the car,
Xiao Zhong immediately turned on the heater.
Xiao Zhong and Li Haiyan both took off their coats and put them on, but the clothes underneath were already soaked through, and there was no way to take them off, as the cold and dampness continued to seep in.
The Egret Hotel is not far away. After arriving at the parking lot, Li Haiyan checked in to the suite as quickly as possible. Then he went to the parking lot and led Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu upstairs. Xiao Zhong also accompanied them. After arriving at the room, Xiao Zhong saw that the suite was
It was safe. In order to avoid Xiao Jingyu changing clothes, he said that he would check in to a room next to him and call him directly if there was anything.
Li Haiyan stayed to serve the two leaders. Xiao Jingyu asked Xiao Zheng to take a hot shower first. Xiao Zheng refused and asked Xiao Jingyu to wash first. Xiao Jingyu said with a straight face: "You drank too much wine, drank river water, and
It's easy to get sick if you catch a cold. Go and wash it quickly, don't wait any longer." Xiao Zheng also asked Xiao Jingyu to wash it first, and Xiao Jingyu said: "This is an order, subordinates must obey their superiors, right?"
Li Haiyan advised Xiao Zheng: "County Chief Xiao, you'd better go and wash it quickly. The sooner you wash it, the sooner Mayor Xiao can make hot water." Li Haiyan meant that if Xiao Zheng didn't go wash it first,
I'm afraid Xiao Jingyu doesn't know how to wash it! It shows how much Xiao Jingyu cares about him. Xiao Zheng's heart felt hot, so he had to quickly go inside and pour hot water.
Although hot water rushed to his body, Xiao Zheng's body still felt cold and he sneezed. Outside, Xiao Jingyu was not much better. Xiao Zheng heard Xiao Jingyu outside the bathroom sneezing several times in a row.
He was also worried about Xiao Jingyu, so he quickly dried his body, put on the hotel bathrobe, and went outside.
Li Haiyan hurriedly said to Xiao Jingyu: "Mayor Xiao, please wash up quickly." Xiao Jingyu glanced at Xiao Zheng, then entered the bathroom, and coughed twice more.
Xiao Zheng found a hair dryer and wanted to dry his hair. Li Haiyan came over and said, "Chief Xiao, let me dry your hair for you." Xiao Zheng said, "No, I will do it myself." But Li Haiyan insisted on taking it from him.
Xiao Zheng had no choice but to sit up straight in the chair and let Li Haiyan dry his hair.
The hot wind blew through his hair, and Li Haiyan's soft hands gently rubbed Xiao Zheng's hair, making Xiao Zheng's body throb involuntarily. The chill that Chen Hong brought to his heart was saved by Xiao Jingyu.
Li Haiyan's care slowly dissipated. It turns out that there are still people who care about and love him in this world.
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think of how Xiao Jingyu, Li Haiyan and Xiao Zhong arrived just in time when he slipped and fell into the water. Xiao Zheng asked Li Haiyan: "How did you know I was by the river?"
While continuing to blow dry Xiao Zheng's hair gently, Li Haiyan told Xiao Zheng that after she accompanied Mayor Xiao back to the hotel, she saw his call on Mayor Xiao's cell phone, but Mayor Xiao said she was a little
I was tired, so I didn’t call him back right away, but went to take a shower. But later, Xiao Zhong called Li Haiyan and said that County Mayor Xiao had gone to visit the old city alone. It had been more than half an hour, and there was no reply. Moreover,
Xiao Zhong said that Chief Xiao seemed to have drunk too much, seemed very unhappy, and was in a bad mood.
After Li Haiyan received the call, she told Xiao Jingyu the situation. After Xiao Jingyu hesitated for a while, he decided to go to the old city to find Xiao Zheng. They searched for a long time and asked many people along the way. Finally, they asked a middle-aged woman,
She said she saw a man sitting on the steps in front of an old doorway drinking soju, and he looked very similar to the Xiao Zheng they mentioned.
They followed the alley to find Xiao Zheng and unexpectedly saw Xiao Zheng fall into the river. Mayor Xiao almost did not hesitate and jumped into the water to save Xiao Zheng.
It turned out that there was such an episode behind this! Xiao Zheng could almost imagine Xiao Jingyu jumping into the water without thinking after seeing him fall into the water. A warm current surged in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but become wet. At this moment, he seemed to understand something that had happened in the past.
Fuzzy things. In this world, the person who cares about you the most is not Chen Hong, but Xiao Jingyu!
At this time, Xiao Zheng heard Xiao Jingyu's cough again from the bathroom. Xiao Zheng said worriedly: "Mayor Xiao seems to have a cold, I have to..." Before he could finish, Xiao Zheng himself also hit him several times in a row.
Sneezing. When it calmed down, he continued: "I have to buy some anti-cold medicine for Mayor Xiao."
"How are you going?" Li Haiyan glanced at Xiao Zheng's legs. Xiao Zheng also looked down and saw that he was only wearing a bathrobe, and his legs under the hem of the clothes were still bare. How could he go shopping on the street like this?
medicine?
Both his and Xiao Jingyu's clothes were already soaked through, and they couldn't go anywhere in their bathrobes. Xiao Zheng had no choice but to say, "I'll have to trouble you! Sneeze... Sneeze..." Xiao Zheng sneezed repeatedly, and it seemed that he was too.
There is no doubt that I will catch the cold.
Li Haiyan's soft hands gently stroked Xiao Zheng's hair a few times and said, "Master, it has been dried." Xiao Zheng said, "Thank you very much." Li Haiyan smiled at Xiao Zheng.
, and then put away the hair dryer. There was a mirror on the opposite wall, and Xiao Zheng could see Li Haiyan's smile, so gentle and cute.
At this time, Xiao Jingyu also came out of the bathroom. She was only wearing a bathrobe, with wet hair, smoked cheeks and pink neck. She was really infinitely charming. As the deputy mayor, Xiao Jingyu usually wears
Her clothes were dignified and her hairstyle was as professional as possible. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be so stunningly beautiful when she let her hair hang loose. Xiao Zheng's eyes fell on her fieryly.
Xiao Jingyu soon realized Xiao Zheng's gaze, and her cheeks turned red again. She said to Li Haiyan: "Haiyan, please help me blow dry my hair." Li Haiyan nodded: "Okay."
Li Haiyan helped Xiao Jingyu blow dry her hair, and then said, "Mayor Xiao, I will go and buy some medicine for you and Mayor Xiao first, and then I will go back and bring you a set of clothes. Then I will buy some medicine for you and Mayor Xiao.
.Long clothes should be dry-cleaned quickly. I asked this hotel before and they said that the dry-cleaning service has been closed and will not be washed until tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be too late by then."
Xiao Jingyu said: "Okay, you arranged it well." Xiao Zheng said: "Let Xiao Zhong take you there."
Li Haiyan left.
Only Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu were left in the room. There was a faint fragrance floating in the air, which seemed to be the smell of shower gel, and seemed to be the smell emanating from Xiao Jingyu's body.
Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jingyu and suddenly wanted to hold her in his arms and say thank you to her. Xiao Jingyu's face turned a little red, and she looked away and said, "You called me twice before."
Xiao Zheng thought of what happened before, and carefully explained why he invited Tan Zhen to dinner, what happened to Xiao Jingyu and Hong Xu after they left, and the different choices he and Chen Hong made.
Hearing Xiao Zheng say that he and Chen Hong were over. Xiao Jingyu's mood was quite complicated, and the eyes looking at Xiao Zheng showed pity and tenderness that she had never noticed.
At this time, Xiao Zheng's cell phone rang, and Li Haiyan's name lit up on the screen.
Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jingyu and answered the phone. Li Haiyan said that because it was too late, the pharmacies were closed. If he wanted to dispense the medicine, he might have to go to the emergency room. However, neither Xiao Zheng nor Xiao Jingyu had a fever, so it might not be appropriate to go to the emergency room.
Xiao Zheng asked Xiao Jingyu, and Xiao Jingyu said: "Forget it. Maybe it will be fine in a while. Let her go get the clothes directly."
Xiao Zheng told Li Haiyan what Xiao Jingyu meant and asked Li Haiyan to go directly to get Xiao Jingyu's clothes.
Just after hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu looked at each other and felt strange. Li Haiyan and Xiao Zhong had both gone out, who could be knocking on the door now? In other words, who else knew they were there?
What about here?
The knocking on the door continued.
Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jingyu and said, "Shall I open the door?" Xiao Jingyu nodded.
Xiao Zheng arrived at the door and asked: "Who?"
A female voice sounded outside: "I'm the waiter." Xiao Zheng opened the door and saw that it was indeed the waiter outside, "What can I do for you?"
The waiter handed the thermos flask in his hand to Xiao Zheng and said, "Someone brought this over just now. Let us bring it to you. They said it contains medicine to dispel colds. Please drink it quickly so that you won't catch a cold."
Medicine to dispel cold? It seemed that this person knew that they were suffering from cold and also knew that they lived here. Who could this be? Xiao Zheng took the thermos pot, but his heart was full of doubts.
