Time passed quickly. Chen Xing had rested for a week. The work of the inspection team had been determined, but Chen Xing had not been informed to report yet. However, Chen Xing had heard the news that all the members were in place. There were a total of six inspection teams. Now the place for each team to inspect had not been determined yet. When the inspection area was determined, it was estimated that they would start to work.
This week, Chen Xing went to the Capital University for classes during the day and accompanied his wife and children at night. It was rare for him to have a comfortable life. This kind of peaceful and comfortable life made Chen Xing not want to work anymore. The complex ecological environment of the officialdom made people tired and had to be tense all the time. Such a relaxed and leisurely life could only be a luxury. Therefore, in these two days, Chen Xing did not deliberately inquire about the situation of the inspection team. Instead, he was happy to go to class and then stay at home to accompany his wife and children.
Today, Chen Xing went to school as usual. He knew that this kind of life was one day less. When the work started, he would rarely be able to go to school, so he could only find time to come here.
Chen Xing and Xu Qingxuan were walking together on a quiet campus path. Chen Xing was about to leave right after class when Xu Qingxuan called out to him. The two of them chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at this secluded campus path. In the woods on both sides of the path, they could vaguely see couples making out in the depths of the woods.
Xu Qingxuan stopped Chen Xing to apologize to Chen Xing. Because of Jiang Wenming's hostility to Chen Xing, many students who had a good relationship with Jiang Wenming in the class did not like Chen Xing. As for the others, because they were not familiar with Chen Xing, they naturally would not take the initiative to get close to Chen Xing. After all, Chen Xing had just joined the class, and the people in the class did not know him, so Chen Xing seemed particularly isolated in the class.
Xu Qingxuan knew that Jiang Wenming's prejudice against Chen Xing was probably because of their first encounter. Of course, part of it was also because of her, which made Xu Qingxuan feel helpless. It was not her fault that she was good-looking, but she often had a lot of troubles because of it.
Wen Ming was just a little narrow-minded. He had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He was not a bad person. Xu Qingxuan explained to Chen Xing. "The reason he's targeting you might have something to do with me. I'm sorry about that."
Classmate Qingxuan, you stopped me for a private chat just to apologize to me? Chen Xing smiled.
Yeah, what's wrong? Xu Qingxuan noticed that something was wrong with Chen Xing's tone.
If you're doing this for this reason, aren't you just pushing me into the fire pit? Didn't you see that classmate Wenming's eyes almost popped out when he saw you stopping me alone? Chen Xing joked. Also, at the gathering a few days ago, you called me over as well. That classmate Wenming was so jealous that he was about to explode with jealousy. Therefore, it would be best for him if you stayed away from me.
Huh? Xu Qingxuan stared blankly at Chen Xing. She didn't expect Chen Xing to say that. She couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously. Chen Xing saw Xu Qingxuan's blushing face and laughed.
Although it's a joke, what you said seems to be right. Xu Qingxuan shook her head in distress. This Wen Ming is really something. I already told him that it's impossible for the two of us to be together, but he still pesters me.
I don't think he's wrong. It's normal for young people to pursue their own love. Young people like you nowadays, don't you all fall in love with each other? Chen Xing smiled. If he gives up so easily, doesn't it mean that he doesn't like you very much? Therefore, you should be happy because it means that he really likes you.
Chen Xing, you really know how to make things difficult for others. I'm already having a headache, and you're still saying that? Xu Qingxuan rolled her eyes. You make it sound like you're very old too.
I'm almost forty, but you guys are only in your early twenties. Aren't I much older than you? Chen Xing chuckled. People say that there is a generation gap every three years, but we are several generations apart.
Nonsense. Xu Qingxuan curled her lips disapprovingly. Then, she smiled and said, You're at most in your early thirties. Don't make yourself sound like you're almost forty.
Even if I'm not forty yet, I'm older than a forty-year-old person.
While the two of them were chatting happily, two girls who were walking towards them were fooling around with each other. Just as they were about to pass each other, one of the girls suddenly fell over. Chen Xing reacted quickly and held her up.
I'm sorry, I almost fell. The girl steadied herself and gave Chen Xing a grateful smile. Soon, she continued to walk forward with her companions.
At this moment, Chen Xing was stunned. There was a letter in his hand. It was obvious that the girl had secretly stuffed it into his hand. Chen Xing was about to call out to the other party when he saw the words "For Chen Xing" written on the envelope. He was stunned. When he turned his head to look, the two girls who were laughing and joking just now had disappeared. They probably left through the small forest at the side.
Did that girl drop this letter? Hurry up and stop her. How anxious would she be if she dropped a letter? Xu Qingxuan also noticed the letter in Chen Xing's hand. She thought that it was dropped by the girl just now.
There's no need. She dropped it on purpose. Chen Xing shook his head. He tore open the envelope and read it.
There was a letter inside. Chen Xing glanced at it. After seeing the first two lines, his expression changed slightly. He put the letter away. Xu Qingxuan was beside him now. It wasn't the place to read letters.
Chen Xing, why did you open her letter? It's too impolite. Xu Qingxuan didn't notice the words on the envelope. She frowned when she saw Chen Xing's action. The good impression she had of Chen Xing for a week immediately faded.
Chen Xing didn't rush to answer her. Instead, he quickly walked towards the place where the two girls had disappeared. There were still two or three paths in the small forest. They were long gone.
Chen Xing, you've already opened their letter. You have to apologize to them when you return it later. Xu Qingxuan said.
That letter was for me. But it's too late to look for the two girls. They're gone. Chen Xing shook his head.
For you? Is this for real? Xu Qingxuan was surprised.
Look, how can it be fake? Chen Xing smiled and showed the front of the envelope to Xu Qingxuan.
Oh, it's true. What's going on? Why would they send such a letter to you? Xu Qingxuan was puzzled and confused.
It's strange. Chen Xing answered Xu Qingxuan's question. It was more like he was talking to himself. Frowning, Chen Xing couldn't figure it out for a while. Although he had only skimmed through the contents of the letter, it was enough to shock him.
Chen Xing, what's in the letter? Xu Qingxuan asked nosily.
Qingxuan, I can't tell you. It's not that I don't want to, but it's not convenient. Please understand. Chen Xing shook his head slightly.
It's okay. I've asked too much. This is a personal matter. I shouldn't have asked. Xu Qingxuan stuck out her tongue and smiled cutely. She also realized that it was too presumptuous of her to ask this question. She just blurted it out because she was too curious.
Putting the envelope away, Chen Xing planned to read it later when he was alone. He chatted with Xu Qingxuan for a while. When they walked out of the path, Chen Xing said goodbye to Xu Qingxuan. Qingxuan, I have to go back.
Okay, goodbye. Xu Qingxuan nodded with a smile.
The two waved goodbye. Chen Xing walked quickly to the place where he parked his car. He was anxious to read the contents of the letter. Xu Qingxuan watched Chen Xing's figure disappear into the distance. Suddenly, she slapped her forehead again and cursed him for forgetfulness. Then, she laughed to herself. She had wanted to tell Chen Xing to call her by her name and stop calling her 'Qingxuan'. It sounded too awkward, and it seemed distant between classmates.
Chen Xing walked back to the car. This car was given to him by Zhang Ningning. It was convenient for him to drive it when he came to school. Now that the car door was closed, Chen Xing didn't bother to start the car. He first took out the envelope and read it.
After reading the letter from beginning to end, Chen Xing's brows furrowed even deeper. There was more doubt in his eyes. How did a report letter about Beiqing Province end up in his hands? Moreover, the other party knew that he was attending classes at the Capital University. How could they send these two students to him in this way?
The crux of the matter was, why was this report letter sent to him? He wasn't in charge of disciplinary work, and he had nothing to do with Beiqing Province. Wasn't it baffling that such a report letter would land in his hands, reporting a certain important city official in Beiqing Province?
After placing the letter on the passenger seat, Chen Xing started the car and prepared to go home. Thinking about this strange report letter, Chen Xing smiled bitterly. Strange things happened every year, but there were especially many this year.
Chen Xing's phone rang when he was waiting for the traffic light to turn green after leaving the school. It was a call from a member of the inspection team. Since he had contacted him once before, Chen Xing had memorized the number.
Deputy Team Leader Chen, our inspection team is in charge of patrolling Beiqing Province. The team leader asked me to inform you to report at 8: 30 tomorrow. After that, you will head straight to Beiqing. Remember to bring your daily necessities. So soon?
Chen Xing was stunned. Yes, this is the team leader's order.
Yes, this is the team leader's order.
When Chen Xing heard this, he nodded in acknowledgment. When he inadvertently saw the letter on the passenger seat, Chen Xing was startled and hurriedly asked. Little Sun, when was it confirmed that we are in charge of patrolling Beiqing Province?
It was confirmed the day before yesterday.
Oh, okay, I got it. I will be there on time tomorrow. Chen Xing nodded.
