Hong Fang has a straightforward nature. Because she had a few more glasses of wine at dinner that night, she stared at Hua Nianping and said, "Tell me, what do you think of Lin Sirer's feelings for you now?"
Hua Nianping expected that Hong Fang would ask him this question sooner or later, and asked her: "What do you think I should think about it?"
Hong Fang said: "Lin Sirer told me that she loves you as always!"
Hua Nianping glanced at Lin Sirer silently, toasted her with a large glass of wine, and said nothing.
Hong Fang continued to press Hua Nianping: "I want you to answer directly in front of everyone, do you continue to love Lin Sirer in your heart, or do you not love her?"
Hua Nianping turned to Tao Hailiang and said, "The provincial disciplinary supervision leader is sitting here. Look at the question Hong Fang asked. Can I answer it directly?"
Tao Hailiang did not expect that his identity would be used by Hua Nianping as a shield for Hong Fang to question him. He thought that his wife was stupid enough to order a married man to express his feelings to another married woman in public, which would indeed make others do it.
Disaster.
But he had never shown conflict with his wife Hong Fang, so he could only raise his glass awkwardly and say: "Drink! Drink!"
Hong Fang glared at Tao Hailiang and said, "Lieutenant Tao, you are making mud for me!"
Lin Sirer was worried that once Hong Fang showed her temper, she would not be angry with Hua Nianping, but would take it out on her husband Tao Hailiang. She hurriedly said to Hong Fang: "Love someone is not something you can say sweetly, just say it on your lips."
It’s true, I was just talking nonsense because you asked me anxiously. It’s rare for us to get together, so we’d better have a few more drinks and never come back until we’re drunk!”
She said that and immediately picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it down in one gulp.
Hua Nianping was worried that it would be difficult for him to prevent Lin Sirer from getting drunk again tonight.
Sure enough, after the meal, the two women, Lin Sirer and Hong Fang, began to stagger around.
When they parted ways at the elevator entrance, Tao Hailiang told Hua Nianping that he and Lin Sirer would be picked up tomorrow morning and taken to the Shushan Natural Scenic Area not far from the provincial capital.
Hong Fang was so drunk that she patted Hua Nianping's cheek and said, "I leave Lin Sirer to you tonight. You know what to do to soothe a woman's hurt heart!"
She shouted loudly, and was clearly heard by several people standing not far away.
Among them stood Jiang Dengjie and Wei Shengli.
Hua Nianping helped Lin Sirer to the door of the guest room where she lived, and asked her if the room card was stuffed into her bag or in her pocket? Lin Sirer lowered her head on his shoulder and grumbled for a long time.
Didn't make it clear either.
Hua Nianping had no choice but to call a waitress who happened to be passing by and ask her to help open the door.
The waiter asked for the name of the room registrant, found the room card, put Hua Nianping and Lin Sirer into the room, and closed the door behind them.
All of this, Jiang Dengjie, who was following him, hid in a dark corner and filmed the whole thing with his mobile phone.
Hua Nianping helped Lin Sirer lie down on the bed in the room, and poured a glass of boiling water on the bed table.
He brought a chair and sat down beside her bed.
Lin Sirer fell asleep drunkenly, maintaining the charming sleeping posture that Hua Nianping was familiar with many years ago.
Her eyebrows are still fine and long, her lips are still plump and soft, and her face and body still look extremely peaceful and charming.
Hua Nianping felt hot in his heart and kept running through various thoughts in his mind.
He couldn't help but continue to look at Lin Sirer carefully, and saw that her straight nose suddenly tightened and relaxed slightly in her deep sleep, and her towering breasts rose and fell from time to time with her breathing;
The black hair was cut into short hair, which made her face, which seemed to have become thinner over the years, look much softer.
However, the corners of her mouth that were originally upturned cheerfully in her youth now bear the traces of downward curling caused by unhappiness all day long. Even in her sleep, it reminds people that she always has an emotion in her heart.
sad.
Hua Nianping felt a little sad when he saw it. He thought impulsively that if he could lean down and kiss Lin Sirer right now, it might make her sleep sweeter. But he didn't have the courage.
He even somewhat hated himself for being hypocritical and ruthless.
Hua Nianping smoked two cigarettes in succession in confusion and began to think about whether to go back to his guest room immediately or stay and wait for Lin Sirer to wake up.
As the night progressed, Hua Nian sat up straight in the disaster relief chair until his body ached, and he did not change his position to sit by Lin Sirer's bed for a while. He was worried that he would fall asleep immediately if he touched the edge of the bed, and he was even more worried that he would fall asleep right away if he touched the edge of the bed.
Lin Sirer continued to read, unable to help but have random thoughts.
During this period, Lin Sirer woke up once. She drank some water, looked at Hua Nianping with an indescribable look, sighed, and fell asleep again.
Hua Nianping was panicked by the look in Lin Sirer's eyes when she woke up. Thinking that if she fell asleep again, it might be dawn, he turned off the lights in the room and planned to leave.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Lin Sirer softly calling "Nian Ping!" from behind.
Hua Nianping thought she had something for him to do, so he turned around and walked back to Lin Sirer's bed to ask her what else she needed.
In the darkness, Lin Sirer pulled Hua Nianping to the bed, threw herself into his arms and sobbed sadly.
Hua Nianping could not suppress his sadness and tears burst into his eyes.
He hugged Lin Sirer tightly and waited until her crying slowly subsided, then sighed and said, "Sier, I'm sorry! You know, we can't!"
Lin Sirer understood that Hua Nianping was talking about the "impossibility" between the two of them.
Undoubtedly, his words caused Lin Sirer to cry again.
Hua Nianping then lay half-lying, holding Lin Sirer peacefully and sleeping until the faint morning light filtered through the window, then he carefully let go of her and quietly returned to his guest room.
The next day, a few people went to Shushan Natural Scenic Area for fun. Lin Sirer was always unhappy and seemed uninterested.
After lunch, Hua Nianping went to the airport with Hong Fang and Tao Hailiang to see Lin Sirer off, and then took a long-distance bus back to Huaishang City. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
He had some dinner casually on the way and walked slowly to Quanhe Dry Rest House, where the sky became dark.
As soon as he entered the house and turned on the TV, Lin Sirer, who had already returned to the capital, called his mobile phone and said that he suddenly remembered something important and needed to tell Hua Nianping immediately.
The topic was about the tall bald man I met in the hall before dinner yesterday.
Lin Sirer said that she recalled meeting this tall, bald man at the School of Economics at Peking University during the Spring Festival holiday this year. He asked her about the building where Commissioner Hua Nianping of Huaishang Enyuan Group lived.
Because she didn't know at the time that Hua Nianping had not returned to Beijing for some reason, she was extra kind and took the tall man to Hua Nianping's house in the Beijing University teachers' apartment building.
Hua Nianping immediately became uneasy after Lin Sirer finished telling her what she knew.
He immediately called his wife Wu Ningfang's mobile phone and asked her eagerly if she knew a businessman named Wei Shengli.
Afraid that Wu Ningfang would not be able to remember, he deliberately described Wei Shengli's bald head and tall and thin features in detail.
Wu Ningfang hesitated and did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked Hua Nianping why he asked this?
Hua Nianping said that he wanted to find out whether Wei Shengli found his home during the Spring Festival? What was the purpose of going there?
Wu Ningfang was annoyed by Hua Nianping's series of harsh questions and said, "I don't remember this person!"
