To be honest, this meal is the most comfortable meal I have had in a long time. I am truly full of wine and food.
After dinner, Secretary Qiu and I chatted for a while, but we didn’t talk about anything else. He was mainly talking about Tong Jiumei’s childhood, and how well-behaved, smart, and cute she had always been. But at this time, I suddenly thought of
Asked a question: Since she is so outstanding, why hasn't she married yet?
It was this doubt that suddenly made me realize something: maybe I should know more about her situation.
Then I said goodbye to him. Fortunately, he didn't deliberately keep me, and then he sent Tong Jiumei and I out of the door. When we were about to leave, Secretary Qiu suddenly said to me: "Listen
It is said that Secretary-General Lin will soon be appointed as executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Do you know about this?"
I was stunned and shook my head, "I don't know. I haven't contacted her for a long time recently. But if this news is true, doesn't her level have not changed?"
He said: "The value is completely different. It was originally difficult to move from the main office to the deputy ministerial level, but this position is very important to her. Perhaps it is to prepare her for the next step."
I said: "Maybe."
I don’t know why, but I didn’t feel excited at all after hearing the news. Maybe it’s because I feel like I’m being demoted as a deputy. But I have to ask her. I thought to myself.
Secretary Qiu said: "Xiao Feng, please ask her. I really want to go and wish her a happy New Year, but I don't know if she will agree. Haha! I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk to her about some things."
Of course I'm not naive enough to believe what he said: What's wrong with talking about things? Obviously, you want to use my relationship to get closer to her personally.
I said, "I'll talk to her after asking her. Then I'll call you."
He smiled and said: "That's great. Girl, Xiao Feng is drunk. You can drive."
Tong Jiumei promised repeatedly. I smiled bitterly in my heart: Now, there is no possibility of rejection. But isn’t his purpose just to require me to do this? Now it seems that all my previous inferences are completely correct.
.
So, at this moment, I have to think about another question: Is this Tong Jiumei really worthy of my further relationship?
Yes, I have to consider this issue, because I know very clearly now: my relationship with her is no longer simple. At least she and her uncle are very purposeful. So, at this moment, I suddenly become
It doesn't taste good.
When we got downstairs, she took my arm and asked me softly: "You don't seem very happy?"
I shook my head, "Jiu Mei, can you let me think about this matter again?"
She looked at me, her eyes sparkling in the night, very beautiful, "What? Do you think my uncle and the others were too direct today?"
I said: "What do you think about this? Do you think we are really suitable?"
She held my arm tightly, "Maybe you think we are moving too fast, but I don't think so. Indeed, I took the initiative to seduce you that day, but I really think you are very suitable for me. Maybe
You don’t believe what I say is true, but have you ever thought about it? I am a woman. How much courage does it take for a woman to decide to give herself to a man? I have been in love before, and more than once.
In fact, my heart has been broken by men a long time ago, and I no longer believe in love. But when I met you, I suddenly felt that I had the same heartbeat feeling again, so I told myself
, don’t miss it this time. I know there must be a lot of women who like you, so I don’t want to let you go. Do you believe what I say?”
How could I believe it all of a sudden? You know, I am no longer the person I used to be, and I believe even more: a woman like her should have been more cautious on this issue. Of course, in this case,
I couldn't tell her, after all, she was a woman. I said, "Have you ever thought about it? If we really decide to be together, you won't be able to do that project. Otherwise, I won't be able to tell clearly."
She laughed softly, "If you don't want to do it, just don't do it. I don't think it matters. In fact, your plan makes me feel a little risky, and I'm still worried about it. How good am I now? I can do business safely and have no worries.
No food to eat.”
I was stunned because I didn’t expect that she would really be willing to give up such a big business for her and me. As for the risks involved in this project, I believe she didn’t really think so in her heart, because inside
I have already clearly analyzed the pros and cons and operation steps for her.
I thought about it and said, "Let's do this. My parents are coming here this Spring Festival. Let them see you then and then we can talk. It's only a few days anyway. Do you think this is okay?"
She rested her head on my shoulder, "You are a filial son. Of course I won't object if you say this. But I am still very confident in myself. Don't worry. I will definitely treat your parents and you in the future."
Your child will be fine. Feng Xiao, I will give you a child in the future, and then we will have two children. That would be so fun. Don’t you think so?"
No matter how many doubts I have in my heart now, no matter how hard-hearted I am, I will be melted after hearing her words. I can't help but hug her waist, "Jiu Mei, I hope we can
There will be a day."
She said softly: "I know what you are thinking now. In fact, you are wondering why I fell in love with you so quickly, right? Do you still think my uncle has other motives?"
She is indeed smart, so smart that I don’t know how to answer her. The key to the problem is that her words completely spoke to my heart.
Seeing that I didn't answer, she continued: "Whether you believe it or not, I have already decided that I must marry you. I will not care about your past, because I know that any good man will
He has his past. So, as long as you can be sincere to me in the future, that's fine. What I need is that our future can be happy forever. I don't want to say more about my uncle. Of course he has his purpose. But I don't want it.
Because of his affairs, you feel that we are taking advantage of you. I think you should think about this matter in reverse. Feng Xiao, have you ever thought about it? Since he regards you as my future husband in his heart
, then isn’t it very normal and appropriate for him to make some requests to you?”
Her words immediately made me feel relieved: Yes, why didn't I think about it from this perspective? "What you said seems to be right. It seems that I have overthought it. Haha! I'm sorry."
She suddenly smiled happily, "Feng Xiao, let's go for a walk outside. I really want to keep walking like this with you."
My heart suddenly felt warm and moved. I haven't had such a warm feeling for a long time. At this moment, I really felt like I was in love. Really, she really made me feel a feeling deep in my heart at this moment.
A warm feeling of happiness.
So we walked out of the community like this. She kept holding my arm and nestled her body in my arms. She moved forward slowly, experiencing this winter night step by step. Of course, she would not feel the cold winter.
Because my heart has already been warmed by her. The lights have become so bright, as if they are only shining on the two of us, no, the whole night seems to belong to us.
"This is so good. I haven't felt like this in many years. I used to be very busy, but every time it comes to evening, I can only feel alone and lonely. Sometimes I will go to the bar alone and get drunk.
I vomited on the street alone, and slept with my clothes on when I got home. The next day, I pretended to be fine and went to work, greeting the new day with a fake smile. Later, my parents began to worry about me, and they had to come and talk to me.
We live together. But how do they know that what I need is not more people at home? On the contrary, after they came, I felt more uncomfortable and lonely, so I often quarreled with them, and later, they became angry.
Then I went back to my hometown. Feng Xiao, now that I think about it, I really shouldn’t have treated them like that. But you know what? I was really annoyed at the time, and I couldn’t control the annoyance in my heart at all.
...." She was telling me, her voice was very small, like crying.
Of course I understand the feeling she said, because I often feel that way myself, but I am a man, after all, less sentimental than her. Also, maybe I have experienced too much misfortune.
, maybe I am more numb than she is, so numb that I no longer want to be alone too much.
I couldn't help but hug her tightly, and her body got closer to mine.
At this moment, we don't need to say anything more, because our two lonely and lonely hearts are completely close to each other.
In front of us is a bridge in this city. Below the bridge is the colorful river illuminated by the city's night lights. They are extremely beautiful. We just cuddled up and stood on the edge of the stone railing of the bridge, watching the magical fluctuations below.
The flowing river water and the slight rippling sound they make. The city has entered a state of silence, and so has the river. She and I have both integrated into the silence of the city.
Just like that, we stopped talking, and she stopped talking. We just hugged each other and felt the beauty of the city at night, and the unspeakable feeling of silence it gave us. But I knew,
At this moment our hearts are connected.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew across our faces, which brought me back to reality. I said to her, "Let's go back."
She asked me: "Where are we going? To me or to you?"
I was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, I said to her: "Jiu Mei, I don't want to take you to my place for the time being. The place where I live now smells of my ex-wife. To be honest, I still can't forget her. You
, you won’t be angry, right?”
She looked at the sky, and then said quietly: "How could it be? In fact, I also know, what's the use of being angry? That is your past. If you really forget her like this, I will think you are ruthless.
.I said, from now on you just need to be nice to me."
I was very moved, and then I followed her to look at the sky. I saw that there were black clouds in the sky, and the moon was slowly moving through the black clouds, with burr-like lights all around it. I said, "Let's go,
looks like it's going to rain."
She asked me again: "Where are we going?"
In fact, I had already thought of a place just now, "Let's go to a good place. I can stay in the presidential suite there at any time."
She asked me: "Is this your father-in-law's hotel?"
My heart suddenly sank: Yes, how could we go to a place like that? What would Lin Yi think if he found out?
She sensed my strangeness and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask you like this. Let's go there. I will go with you wherever you take me."
I sighed: "Forget it. Let's go to your place."
She stretched out her hand towards me and said, "Give me the car keys. I'll drive your car."
I immediately understood: What was she asking me about just now? It was clearly to remind me. It was obvious that she did not want Lin Yi to know about our affairs.
I handed her the keys and asked, "You didn't drive today?"
She smiled and said: "My car is parked in your hospital. Didn't you already ask me today? You are so amazing, and you know everything like a god. Hehe!"
However, what I didn't expect was that Lin Yi actually called me at this moment, "Feng Xiao, where are you now?"
I actually started to feel panicked, "I just finished eating with my friends. Do you have anything to do with me?"
She was looking at me with surprise in her eyes. I picked up the phone and hurriedly left her, also to remind her that my call was not convenient for her to hear.
He said: "How about you come to my house now? There is something that your Aunt Shi and I want to discuss with you."
Me: "...Okay. I'll be right away."
He immediately hung up the phone. I felt depressed but could do nothing about it, so I ran over to Tong Jiumei and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I suddenly have something very important to do. Let's do it another day. Let's be together another day."
