Lu Yiwei was rendered speechless by Tong Huan's words. He didn't know whether he should pity her or sympathize with her. Their worldviews and values were on two different levels, and it was difficult for their hearts to collide under different ideologies.
Unknowingly, Tong Huan's eyes became soft. She squinted at the ceiling with a helpless smile. Then, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and looked at Lu Yiwei, "I'm sorry for making you laugh. I don't have any friends, nor do I have anyone to talk to. Most of the time, I rely on alcohol to numb myself. Alcohol can numb my body, but it can't numb my scarred heart. I'm most afraid of the night. When it's dark, I feel depressed and uncomfortable. Can you understand this kind of feeling? "
"Yeah." Lu Yiwei nodded.
Tong Huan continued, "I know about your situation. I also know that you just broke up with Mayor Su's daughter, Su Meng, and they're already married, right?"
"How do you know?" asked Lu Yiwei curiously.
"Hehe." Tong Huan laughed, "There's nothing I don't know, only things I don't want to know. Yiwei, if you're willing, I can help you in your career. How about it? "
Lu Yiwei quickly refused, "Thank you for your kind intentions. I still want to rely on my own ability to struggle. If I wanted to rely on others, I would have left Nanyang County long ago. Why would I wait until now? "
Tong Huan said, "I like self-reliant men like you. But let me give you a piece of advice. In this environment, it's not enough to rely on your own ability. When the time is right, open up another route. Perhaps you might find a shortcut to success. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you have a cigarette? "
Lu Yiwei took a cigarette from the bedside table and handed it to Tong Huan. He lit one for him and also lit one for himself. Tong Huan's smoking posture was very elegant. His slender fingers held the filter tip, and then he elegantly put it to his lips. His throat moved slightly, and he gently blew the smoke into the air. His face was full of arrogance and coldness.
Lu Yiwei was highly educated and had contact with Hong Kong and Taiwanese culture in his early years. He wasn't conservative, but he gradually had a sense of rejection for some things after staying in a small place for a long time. He couldn't accept Tong Huan's bold and avant-garde way of confession.
Who didn't like beautiful women? Tong Huan's enchanting figure, voluptuous body, and sexy lips. How could Lu Yiwei's heart not beat faster and be overwhelmed by emotions? He firmly believed that as long as he was willing, Tong Huan could become his, but he really didn't dare to imagine the consequences of taking that step.
Tong Huan looked at Lu Yiwei's blank expression and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Yiwei flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "Nothing. I haven't rested well for the past two days, so I'm a little sleepy."
The room was air-conditioned, and the temperature was about 25 degrees Celsius. Tong Huan suddenly lifted Lu Yiwei's quilt and got into his arms …
Lu Yiwei was scared. He pushed Tong Huan away and said, "I'm sorry."
Tong Huan, who had been aroused, stopped abruptly. Her face was full of disappointment. She suddenly felt that she was a little shameless. She jumped out of bed, tidied up her clothes, and said coldly, "What's there to be sorry about? I'm a bitch. I'm not worthy of you." After that, she rushed out the door.
Lu Yiwei thought of Ding Changhua's sinister and cunning face, and he felt a chill down his spine. After the tide receded, Lu Yiwei's agitated heart couldn't calm down for a long time. After an unknown period of time, Lu Yiwei finally fell asleep from his chaotic thoughts. He slept all the way until dawn.
The next morning, if Sanjo hadn't knocked on the door, Lu Yiwei wouldn't have slept for a long time. He looked at his watch, and then closed his eyes again. When he turned over, he felt that the bed sheet was wet. He quickly opened the cup and saw a wet ball the size of a pancake, which made him feel incredulous.
"Did I have a wet dream?" Lu Yiwei hit his swollen head with his palm. He suddenly laughed and thought to himself, "It seems that I've returned to the past."
He jumped out of bed and opened the curtains. The strong sunlight stung his eyes. He squinted at the street view of Jiangdong City. There were tall buildings, heavy traffic, and people. What a bustling city! Every time Lu Yiwei came to Jiangdong City, there were changes. It was not an exaggeration to say that the city was changing with each passing day. On the contrary, the small city of Nanyang County was still the same as before the reform and opening up. It was neither a city nor a village. It was not as developed as the surrounding villages of Jiangdong City. Nanyang really needed development!
Lu Yiwei sighed. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, put on his clothes, and went out. Sanjo was sitting in the living room, smoking and waiting. Lu Yiwei walked up and asked, "Where are the two of them?"
"You mean Hei Quan and Monkey? I don't know. They didn't come back last night. Let's go eat! "He got up and walked to the elevator.
When they arrived at the restaurant on the third floor, Lu Yiwei was afraid of meeting Tong Huan. Fortunately, there were only a few people in the restaurant, and there was no sign of Tong Huan. The hotel had a buffet. The two of them ordered their favorite dishes and sat by the window.
Sanjo asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"So-so."
"How's your classmate in bed?" Sanjo suddenly smiled slyly.
Lu Yiwei stopped eating and said, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? I saw it last night. Stop pretending!" Sanjo pointed at Lu Yiwei and laughed.
Lu Yiwei ignored him. He picked up a steamed bun and chewed it.
Sanjo also changed the topic. He looked out of the window and said, "Yiwei, if you think it's boring to stay in your small county, come to Jiangdong and work with me. I'm going to open a Western restaurant. How about you come and manage it for me? How about splitting the profits 50-50? "
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "You're so generous?"
Sanjo drank a mouthful of milk and said, "I'm so generous with you! Besides, I believe you have the ability. I can't do it alone. "
Lu Yiwei took a bite of pickled vegetables and said, "Brother, thank you for your kindness. If I wanted to come to Jiangdong to develop my career, I would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? You can consider others."
"You're not giving me face?" Sanjo said angrily, "I don't understand you. What future do you have in such a small place? Well, even if you get promoted to the bureau chief or county magistrate, what can you do? Your best years will be wasted. Can things that have passed away be restarted? "
Seeing that Sanjo was angry, Lu Yiwei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, I know you're doing it for my own good. To be honest, I also want to come to Jiangdong. I even dream about it. But my career is in Nanyang. If I leave without a reason, I will carry a heavy burden in my heart for the rest of my life. I want to come, and I want to remove this burden. I want to come openly. "
"Just to prove your innocence? The price is too high. "Sanjo was puzzled." According to what you said, my sense of guilt is even stronger. When I started my business, I happened to have a group of students who were about to take the college entrance examination. However, time waits for no one. If I had chosen to stay at that time, I might not be where I am today. "
Lu Yiwei stubbornly said, "My roots are in Nanyang. I can't watch my hometown be labeled as a poor county forever. Although my words carry little weight, I still hope to make some contributions to accumulate merit for myself."
"Alright, alright!" Sanjo said helplessly, "Let's stop talking. I know I can't persuade you. You're still so stubborn after all these years! Alright, I'll think of a way about the western restaurant. However, as long as you're willing, my door is always open for you, okay? "
"Done!" Lu Yiwei laughed heartily.
After the meal, Sanjo asked, "Where are you going now? Back to Nanyang? "
Lu Yiwei wanted to see his daughter, Feiyu, and said, "I still have some private matters."
"Oh, okay!" Sanjo said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't bother you. I'll contact you when I'm done. I'll take you to a good place tonight. I'm sure you'll be satisfied. Hehe."
"Hurry up and go!" Lu Yiwei pushed San Tiao and said with a smile.
"Then I'm leaving!"
"Let's go."
Lu Yiwei stood on the steps and watched Sanjo leave. He also walked in the direction of the car.
When he went down the steps, he happened to meet Tong Huan. With last night's incident, Lu Yiwei was slightly embarrassed and said, "Have you had breakfast?"
Tong Huan acted as if nothing had happened. He smiled sweetly and said, "I've eaten. I'm going back to the troupe."
Lu Yiwei looked around and said, "How are you going back?"
"I'll fight."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said, "Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Tong Huan agreed without hesitation, "Okay, thank you."
On the way, the two did not say a word. When they arrived at the gate of the provincial dance troupe, Tong Huan opened his bag and took out two tickets and handed them to Lu Yiwei. He said, "I have a performance on April 2nd, and I invite you to watch it."
Lu Yiwei took the tickets and nodded. "As long as I have time, I will definitely come."
"Okay! I'm leaving. " Tong Huan looked affectionately at the mature and charming Lu Yiwei. He suddenly climbed over and kissed him on the cheek. Then he got out of the car and quickly ran to the gate.
