Lu Yiwei wiped the lipstick mark on his lips and didn't say much. He just said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
Just as he was about to leave, Tong Huan tightly hugged Lu Yiwei from behind. His head was pressed against Lu Yiwei's back, and his body trembled like a frightened deer. He repeatedly said, "Yiwei, don't go, please, don't go …"
Lu Yiwei suddenly heard Tong Huan's heartbeat. The collision of two hearts was like a blazing fireball passing through an icy ocean. The outside was corroded by the icy water, and the inside was like a raging fire. At this time, Zhang Hongliang's "Hiroshima Love" sounded on the stage: "You should have rejected me long ago, you shouldn't have let me pursue you …" The beautiful melody and touching lyrics touched Tong Huan's fragile heart, and he couldn't help hugging Lu Yiwei tighter.
"Tong Huan, the performance is about to start." Lu Yiwei bit his lips and said. At this moment, he was also suffering.
"Don't talk, let us stay a little longer." Tong Huan closed his eyes and used the tip of his nose to sniff the faint smell of tobacco and man on Lu Yiwei's body.
"Teacher Tong Huan, Teacher Tong Huan, please come backstage as soon as you hear the broadcast …" Tong Huan's name was called over and over again in the broadcast. The whole backstage was frantically looking for Tong Huan as if they were possessed.
The short period of tenderness was like ice cream in summer. Under the scorching sun, the gorgeous appearance and tall and straight body gradually melted as the temperature rose. Lu Yiwei was conscious. He gently put his hand on Tong Huan's hand, but the moment his fingers touched Tong Huan's hand, he instantly withdrew his hand. After struggling for a while, he made up his mind to break off Tong Huan's hand. It didn't matter, but Tong Huan hugged Lu Yiwei even tighter.
"Tong Huan, they must be looking for you. Go out," Lu Yiwei said softly, but his heart was in a frenzy. By the time Lu Yiwei tried to break Tong Huan's hand again, Tong Huan slowly loosened his grip. His eyes were brimming with tears.
Tong Huan quickly walked to the door and put his hand on the doorknob. Just as he was about to open the door, he quickly turned around and hugged Lu Yiwei tightly again. He kissed his face madly and rushed out of the door. Lu Yiwei stood there in a daze, unable to calm down.
When they returned to the auditorium, the curtains on the stage were slowly pulled open. The spotlight focused on one point, and Tong Huan floated out in a white dress like a fairy. Tonight, she was the host. Even though she had lost control of her emotions just now, she was a completely different person on stage. Perhaps she was born for the stage.
Lu Yiwei stared at her intently. At this time, Lu Ling quietly stuffed a tissue into her hand. She looked back at Lu Ling in surprise and saw Lu Ling pointing at her face. She suddenly understood something and quickly lowered her head to wipe off the lipstick mark on her face.
"Yiwei, look, Xiao Yu is coming out!" Li Shu-man's attention was not on Lu Yiwei at all. He was staring at the stage, waiting for his daughter to come out.
Xiao Yu danced really well. At least, Lu Yiwei thought she was the best among all the children. At such a young age, her body coordination was strong, and every movement was accurate and on point. If she was trained well, she might really become a dancer in the future.
"Yiwei, I have decided. I will train Xiao Yu into an excellent dancer." While Lu Yiwei was thinking, Li Shu-man had already said it with a happy smile on his face.
Suddenly, Lu Yiwei thought of Tong Huan. Wasn't she also a dancer? If Xiao Yu … He didn't dare to think about it further.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei didn't speak, Li Shu-man turned around and touched him, asking, "What, you don't agree?"
"Oh, oh." Lu Yiwei came back to his senses and said, "I don't object to Xiao Yu learning dancing. It is also a hobby, but I still hope that she will focus on cultural studies."
"Well, that's natural."
The performance lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Xiao Yu pulled Lu Yiwei and Li Shu-man onto the stage for a group photo. Lu Yiwei was embarrassed for a long time, and his expression was extremely unnatural. Under his daughter's insistence, he smiled bitterly.
After taking a group photo with the two of them, Xiao Yu pulled Tong Huan over to take a group photo. Xiao Yu squatted in front, and Lu Yiwei and Li Shu-man sandwiched Tong Huan in the middle. They looked at the camera anxiously, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Everything was over. Lu Yiwei sent Li Shu-man and Xiao Yu back to their rented place. It was time to say goodbye again. It was so heart-wrenching and heartbreaking. Xiao Yu cried and asked Lu Yiwei to stay with her. Li Shu-man didn't speak and stood aside with a serious expression. After a few struggles, Lu Yiwei decided to go back to Nanyang County. Just like that, he left helplessly with his daughter's nostalgia and expectations.
On the way back, Lu Ling wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to express his true feelings several times, but he didn't know how to say it.
When they arrived at Lu Ling's place, Lu Ling asked him to go up and sit for a while, but Lu Yiwei insisted on leaving. In the end, Lu Ling summoned up the courage to say what was on his mind, "Brother, I shouldn't say this, but I really can't hold it back. I have to say it. Since you divorced my sister-in-law, I have hated her and her whole family for abandoning you when you needed care the most. I think this hatred will be buried in my heart forever, but I don't know why, when I see Xiao Yu, I can't hate her. "
"As you can see, Xiaoyu is so sensible, well-behaved and lovable, but she hasn't enjoyed a day of fatherly love since she was sensible. Although the child was awarded to Shu Man, you are still the father of the child. You must make a reflection on this."
"I can see that sister-in-law's love for you is still sincere. Back then, when she married into our family, she was so unreasonable and made things difficult for us, but you tolerated everything. After having the child, Shu Man suddenly changed. She became reasonable, gentle and virtuous, and took care of you. Although this matter is over, for the sake of the child, I still hope that you and sister-in-law can get back together. "
"There is a saying that a concubine is not as good as the first wife, which makes a lot of sense. Needless to say, Su Meng is an arrogant princess. Even if you get married, I don't think this marriage will work. Xia Jinhe, although I like her, what did she do? She disappeared without a trace, and I can't even find her shadow. Is such a woman trustworthy? After comparing, I still think that sister-in-law is the best. So, you must seriously consider this problem. "
Lu Yiwei hurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He looked out of the window and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei didn't speak, Lu Ling continued, "I know this is your business and you shouldn't meddle. But I saw something different in sister-in-law's eyes. She still loves you. You see, she bought clothes for you. How much money does she earn? She spent thousands of yuan in one go. Your clothes are enough for her and her mother to spend for half a year. In addition, every time I go to see Xiao Yu, she keeps asking about your situation. I don't know how to answer. Xiao Yu is at the age where she needs her parents to take care of her. Are you going to give her an incomplete childhood? "
"Stop it!" Lu Yiwei took a few puffs of the cigarette. He smoked too fast and choked.
"Fine, I can stop it, but I hope you will seriously consider it." Lu Ling was about to get off the car. But just when he stepped out, he came back and said, "Brother, tell me the truth. Do you know that Teacher Tong?"
Lu Yiwei didn't speak and continued smoking.
Lu Ling continued, "Actually, I could tell from the moment you met that there was something wrong with that woman's eyes. Also, did she leave the lipstick mark on your face? "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei still didn't say anything, Lu Ling took a deep breath, spread out her hands and said helplessly, "Well, this is your personal business. I shouldn't meddle in it. I'm off!" After that, she got off the car.
Lu Yiwei put out the cigarette in the ashtray, rolled down the window, and said to Lu Ling, "Lingling, when you have time, go and see Xiao Yu more often."
Lu Ling was stunned. After a long time, he turned around and said, "I will." Then, he walked into the apartment building in high heels.
Lu Yiwei sat on the steering wheel and thought for a long time. He didn't know what to do. After about ten minutes, he started the car and slowly drove out of the neighborhood. Lu Ling stood on the balcony and silently watched Lu Yiwei leave.
After leaving Jiangdong City, Lu Yiwei didn't know where to go. Back to Nanyang County? What he hated the most was going back. After some consideration, he turned the car around and drove in the direction of Dongzhou City.
Located at the junction of Dongzhou City and Jiangdong City, there was a place called Andu County. Unlike other places in Dongzhou City, this place didn't focus on tourism. Instead, it used its rich mineral resources to develop the energy industry. Lu Yiwei's Dongcheng Coal Mine was located here.
Entering Andu County, it formed a sharp contrast with Dongzhou City. On one side, there was a boat sailing on the blue waves, and people were swimming in a painting. The scenery was picturesque and beautiful. On the other side, there was sand flying everywhere, cars drifting in the dust, and birds and beasts flying everywhere. Like Nanyang County, the mountains were like bald heads, with a few malnourished pine trees sparsely visible. Both sides of the road were covered with thick black mud and dust. The uneven road was like a pimple, and if one wasn't careful, they would run into unknown objects.
This was Lu Yiwei's second visit to Andu County. Coming here was like going home. The houses on both sides of the road were dark, the cars were dark, the sky was dark, and even the people were dark.
Although they were both Resource Counties, Andu County was miles ahead of Nanyang County. Relying on high-quality coal resources, convenient transportation, and a huge consumer market, Andu County was the most promising energy county in the province. In last year's Top 100 Counties in the country, Andu County ranked 79th.
Not only were there coal mines, but there were also coking plants, coal washing plants, power plants, smelting plants, corundum plants, steel plants, and so on. Both in depth and breadth, the county had been comprehensively and effectively developed, and the potential of coal resources had been deeply excavated. According to last year's fiscal data, Andu County's annual comprehensive income was more than 2.5 billion, which was 25 times that of Nanyang County and close to the income of the entire Beizhou City. It was a big taxpayer in Dongzhou City and even Xijiang Province.
In comparison, Nanyang County was still at the primitive level of mining, while Andu County had made full use of the value of coal. In addition to the strong support of the local government, there was also an open concept of development and a strong intellectual mind. However, the stubborn and conservative thinking of the decision-making level of Nanyang County and the county's cadres was the main reason for holding them back.
