Liu Lihai stared at his mobile phone in a daze. He had been waiting for Sun Xiaomu's message. He had been eager for Sun Xiaomu to say something to him, but he couldn't tell what exactly it was. The name Sun Xiaomu, the person Sun Xiaomu, Sun Xiaomu's clean face, and those elegant black hair kept flashing in his mind.
When the word "love" jumped out to embrace Liu Lihai again, he seemed to see love giving birth to a myriad of forms, but he didn't know which form belonged to him, him, and Sun Xiaomu. He didn't have a first love. If unrequited love was counted as a first love, when he was in the second grade of junior high school, he had a hazy feeling for his English teacher. For this feeling, his English scores had always been among the best. Later, he went to a key high school in Jingjiang and immersed himself in his studies. By the time he woke up, he had already arrived in Beijing and entered his strong desire to possess the metropolis. In such an environment, the girls around him came and went. Although they never stopped, he could no longer find the hazy and beautiful feelings he had for his English teacher. To him, love was a kind of hazy beauty that could be seen through the fog. This kind of beauty was used to yearn for, to treasure, and even to comfort his heart that was full of needles.
Liu Lihai didn't know why he thought of the word "comfort" again. This word was always associated with Sun Xiaomu. Leng Hongyan gave him one goal after another on the road of growth. He was like a hurdle warrior. Every time he crossed a hurdle, his sense of mystery about Leng Hongyan was reduced. But every time he crossed a hurdle, his expectation for Sun Xiaomu increased. But now, could he cross the wooden hurdle in front of him by himself? Could he welcome Sun Xiaomu at such a time?
Sun Xiaomu liked photography, so he became a photojournalist for Jingjiang Daily's social wide-angle edition. In fact, at the beginning, Liu Lihai wanted Sun Xiaomu to attend leadership meetings. It was easy and affordable, but Sun Xiaomu didn't appreciate it. She liked to take pictures of people and things alone. She was especially interested in the old houses in Jingjiang. She loved to say to Liu Lihai, "The more things that are about to disappear, the more meaningful and valuable they are."
One day, while Sun Xiaomu was out taking photos of her old house, Liu Lihai received a call from her. At that time, Sun Xiaomu was crying at him on the phone. Liu Lihai's heart was in pain. He didn't know why he had such a feeling. When he found out where Sun Xiaomu was, he dropped the work at hand and desperately ran to the Jiangguang Triumph City that Sun Xiaomu mentioned.
Jiangguang Triumph City was the most upscale residential area in Jingjiang City in recent years. Not only was it located by the Yangtze River, but the overall planning of the residential area was awesome. It was said that an eminent monk was invited to design it. The roofs of the entire residential area were all in the shape of a blue turtle shell. It was also said that this was the residential area with the best feng shui in Jingjiang City. If the commercial market next to the residential area was included in Jiangguang Triumph City, it would be the largest and most perfect residential area in Jingjiang City. But for some reason, after more than a year, the commercial market couldn't be demolished. The commercial market was an old building. Sun Xiaomu must be fascinated by these old buildings.
Sun Xiaomu was taking pictures of the old houses she liked. How did she provoke the people of Jiangguang Triumph City? Why did she cry? Liu Lihai was full of doubts as he rushed to the riverside in a hurry. When the taxi arrived at Jiangguang Triumph City, the car hadn't even stopped yet when Liu Lihai opened the car door and jumped out. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the two security guards of Jiangguang Triumph City tugging at Sun Xiaomu. Sun Xiaomu was wearing a loose white casual shirt and a pair of tight black shorts. Her appearance was very simple, but upon closer inspection, she realized that it was branded clothing. But for Liu Lihai, he really didn't recognize anything special about Sun Xiaomu's clothes. At that time, Sun Xiaomu's white shirt was pulled by the security guards, revealing her thin shoulders. Her pink bra strap was particularly dazzling under the sun. But Sun Xiaomu didn't care about her messy clothes. Her hands were desperately protecting the camera, and the two security guards were tightly surrounding her. It seemed that they wouldn't stop until they snatched the camera from Sun Xiaomu's hands.
Liu Lihai didn't think that he would see the scene of Sun Xiaomu being insulted with his own eyes. When this day really appeared in front of his eyes, his heart tightened into a ball. The pain, as if the tip of a knife was fiercely stabbing, spread all over his body in an instant. Only then did he realize that Sun Xiaomu had unknowingly integrated into his blood. Their breath, their connection, and even each other's lives had long ago formed a whole. This realization came so strongly to Liu Lihai. He suddenly rushed over, like a hungry tiger coming down the mountain. He quickly pulled away a security guard and punched and kicked him. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other security guard let go of Sun Xiaomu and picked up the walkie-talkie in the duty room and shouted, "Come on, he's beating someone up."
Sun Xiaomu tidied up her hair and clothes and stood by and watched coldly as Liu Lihai taught the security guard a lesson. Liu Lihai's posture was like a man with bloodshot eyes. Every punch and every kick was solid. The security guard was beaten until he knelt down and begged for mercy. The other security guard didn't dare to come forward. It wasn't until four or five security guards ran out from the other end of the community that the security guard dared to approach Liu Lihai. When Sun Xiaomu saw that so many people had come all of a sudden, he wanted to tell Liu Lihai to leave, but Liu Lihai was happily fighting and didn't notice the security guards coming over. The security guards rushed forward and surrounded Liu Lihai in the middle. Liu Lihai was quickly pressed to the ground by them. Several people worked together to beat up Liu Lihai. The two security guards who snatched Sun Xiaomu's camera approached Sun Xiaomu again, intending to continue snatching the camera. Sun Xiaomu retreated and shouted, "I'm calling the police!"
One of the security guards laughed and looked at Sun Xiaomu. "Call the police, call the police! Why don't you go find out whose territory this is? A small reporter dares to come here and make a scene. "
At this time, Liu Lihai was groaning from being beaten by the security guards. Sun Xiaomu was anxious and took out her phone to call the police. When the security guards saw this, they rushed forward to snatch the phone and the camera. Not far away stood a man who looked like a boss. Sun Xiaomu found him familiar. She remembered that when she was taking photos of the market, that man had brought a few security guards to escort a man to the riverside. When she pressed the shutter, that man turned around and looked at her. Later, she was entangled by the two security guards. They forced her to hand over the camera, saying that she wasn't allowed to take photos without permission. Sun Xiaomu quarreled with the security guards, which escalated to a fight with the security guards. She asked Liu Lihai for help. Now that Liu Lihai was being beaten by so many people because of her, she felt very sorry in her heart.
Just as Sun Xiaomu was about to pull out the phone, the two security guards rushed over. The person in the distance stood there quietly until the security guards finally snatched Sun Xiaomu's camera. That person waved at them. One of the security guards quickly ran towards that person with the camera. The security guards who were beating Liu Lihai also stopped. Sun Xiaomu couldn't care less about her beloved camera. She hurried to Liu Lihai's side. Liu Lihai's face was covered with blood. Sun Xiaomu whispered, "Liu Shuai, Liu Shuai." Liu Lihai painfully made an "En" sound. "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."
Sun Xiaomu cried and pulled Liu Lihai. With the help of Sun Xiaomu, Liu Lihai struggled to stand up. He didn't know how many times he had been kicked by the group of security guards. He subconsciously wanted to protect his face, but he was still kicked in the head by a security guard. At that time, he wanted to endure the pain, but he couldn't. He even hated himself for being useless. When the teacher at school taught him boxing, he didn't study it wholeheartedly. If it had come in handy now, he wouldn't have made a fool of himself in front of Sun Xiaomu.
Liu Lihai refused to let Sun Xiaomu take him to the hospital. He stopped a car for Sun Xiaomu and asked the driver to take Sun Xiaomu back to the newspaper office. He went to the hospital alone to bandage his wounds and returned to the newspaper office. When he reported this matter to Zhao Guangming, Zhao Guangming was silent for a long time. As for the boss of Jiangguang's Triumph City, Wu Shoushan, Zhao Guangming knew this person. After working in a government department, he became the deputy head of Lingshan County, the largest county in Jingjiang City, before the age of 30. Everyone thought that he had a bright future, but he suddenly resigned to engage in real estate. He was now the largest real estate boss in Jingjiang City. Even the head of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary Wu Haotian, had to give in to him. However, he didn't tell this situation to Liu Lihai. When Liu Lihai shouted that he wanted to seek justice for Sun Xiaomu, Zhao Guangming said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people." Then, he let Liu Lihai go. Liu Lihai was so angry that when he went out, he cursed, "Motherf * cker."
But when Liu Lihai told Sun Xiaomu about looking for Zhao Guangming, Sun Xiaomu actually smiled indifferently and said to Liu Lihai, "The boss of Jiangguang's Triumph City will have an accident sooner or later." However, the next day, Zhao Guangming brought Wu Shoushan to personally apologize to Sun Xiaomu. Wu Shoushan kept saying that it was his younger brother who took away Sun Xiaomu's camera. His younger brother didn't know how to respect reporters. He asked Sun Xiaomu to calm down. If he felt that the camera was damaged, he would immediately compensate Sun Xiaomu with a new camera. Sun Xiaomu still said indifferently, "No need." Then, he pointed to Liu Lihai and said, "You apologize to him and reimburse all the medical expenses and lost working time."
Wu Shoushan was stunned for a moment. Zhao Guangming obviously didn't think that Sun Xiaomu would make such a request. However, Wu Shoushan still did as Sun Xiaomu asked. He took out a stack of money on the spot and put it in front of Liu Lihai without counting it. Liu Lihai was so embarrassed that his face was burning. He reckoned that his face must have been red. When Zhao Guangming and Wu Shoushan left, Liu Lihai blamed Sun Xiaomu for making a fool of him. But Sun Xiaomu said, "A person who wants to walk an official career must be able to bear both humiliation and kindness."
