When it was time for dinner, Liu Lihai went to invite Shi Zhilin again. Shi Zhilin's driver had already prepared the car. Obviously, he had been waiting for Liu Lihai's invitation again. However, Shi Zhilin asked Liu Lihai to share a car with him to Lakeside Tricolor. In the car, Shi Zhilin asked Liu Lihai if he liked to read novels and which novels he had read.
Such a topic made Liu Lihai's nervousness fade a lot. Liu Lihai said the names of some novels, of course, they were all foreign novels. He said it deliberately. He was afraid that Shi Zhilin would ask about those popular official novels and discuss the content and plot of the official novels with him. For Liu Lihai, those were the side of Shi Zhilin that he was not willing to face. Shi Zhilin gave him a very sinister feeling. Such a person could easily fall into his trap if he was not careful.
Liu Lihai still liked to deal with people like Liu Shouwang. At least they were in the open, and there was no sense of crisis like being attacked from behind. Besides, he was so anxious to see Sun Xiaomu that he was not in the mood to discuss novels with Shi Zhilin. Fortunately, Lin County was not big, and they soon arrived at Lakeside Tricolor. Liu Lihai got out of the car and opened the door for Shi Zhilin. He stood aside respectfully and waited for Shi Zhilin. This situation was what Shi Zhilin had always hoped for. What he had always wanted was that one day, he would be respected by his subordinates like Liu Lihai in Lin County. Unfortunately, he had been here for so many years, but the scene he wanted had not been realized even once. This was a shadow in the depths of his heart that he could not get over, and it was also something that he had always been brooding about.
After entering Lakeside Tricolor, Liu Lihai's footsteps were obviously urgent. He wanted to see Sun Xiaomu very much. However, to Liu Lihai's surprise, when he and Shi Zhilin appeared in the private room booked by Qi Qiangxian, Sun Xiaomu was not in the room. The reporter from Jingjiang Daily who came with Sun Xiaomu was also not there. Obviously, they had returned to Jingjiang City.
Liu Lihai's heart suddenly felt extremely empty. Why did Sun Xiaomu leave without saying goodbye? She was always in a place that was neither too far nor too close, as if this was the distance between them. But for Liu Lihai, he didn't want this kind of distance, and he didn't want to accept it. The lover that had always lived in the deepest part of his heart, the lover that he had always protected with all his heart, why was it that he could always see her but could not touch her?
Between him and her, was there really always a distance between them? Liu Lihai was really sad in his heart. It was because of Sun Xiaomu's sudden departure, and also because of the irreconcilable distance between him and her. Yes, could he confess to Sun Xiaomu? Did he dare to reveal his inner feelings to Sun Xiaobai? In a time and space where he didn't dare to and couldn't do anything, what connection could he have with Sun Xiaomu?
This meal, Liu Lihai was tasteless. Although Gong Daoxun gave him a lot of face, although he could entertain the reporters at Lake View Tricolor, because of Sun Xiaomu's departure, everything became unimportant at this moment. Don't be tasteless. Even if Shi Zhilin and Qi Qiang said something, he didn't hear it. He didn't feel anything at all about how he accompanied them for this drink. His mind was full of Sun Xiaomu's message: You're great, I'm relieved. What did Sun Xiaomu feel relieved about?
Liu Lihai didn't know what he should feel relieved about, but Sun Xiaomu felt so relieved about him. This made Liu Lihai feel excited, but at the same time, he missed Sun Xiaomu even more.
"Some love gives you a lot of opportunities, but you don't care. When you want to value it, there's no chance to love. Sometimes, life is very ironic. Turning around can be a lifetime. "This sentence was said by Zhang Ailing. When he was in university in Beijing, Liu Lihai had seen Zhang Ailing's works. But at that time, he didn't feel that there was anything special about this sentence. The female English teacher he had a crush on also disappeared when he entered Beijing. But on the night when Sun Xiaomu left without saying goodbye, Liu Lihai actually thought of this sentence in his mind. And Liu Lihai's mind was full of Sun Xiaomu, that long-haired girl, the girl he didn't know where she came from or where she would go. She was so overbearing, so unreasonable, and so pervasive, occupying his whole body and mind, even all the active cells.
Liu Lihai couldn't stand it anymore. He took out his cell phone and called Sun Xiaomu without thinking. The call went through, but no one picked up. He kept listening to the ringtone, which meant that the call was connected. He really hoped that Sun Xiaomu would pick up his phone at this time. At this moment, he really wanted to tell Sun Xiaomu that he thought of Zhang Ailing's words. He even wanted to tell Sun Xiaomu that he actually thought about her every day. If he didn't say it now, would it also be a lifetime? Would it be a lifetime of loss when he turned around?
Liu Lihai didn't know. On such a night, he realized for the first time that he was so uncertain about Sun Xiaomu, and so uncertain about his own love.
When Liu Lihai dialed Sun Xiaomu's number again, there was still no answer. Liu Lihai thought, on such a night, where would Sun Xiaomu go? He stuffed his cell phone into his pocket and strolled out of the dormitory.
Liu Lihai strolled along the bamboo forest path. Except for the sound of his footsteps, it was quiet. The wind hit the bamboo leaves, occasionally making rustling sounds. When this sound was projected into the depths of Liu Lihai's heart, he naturally thought of Sun Xiaomu again. He felt very strange. When he was with Sun Xiaomu, he didn't have this kind of strong longing, nor did he have the determination to marry anyone but Sun Xiaomu. As soon as he came to Lin County, especially when he saw Sun Xiaomu standing among the reporters during the day, the crazy throbbing, the obsession to rush up, and the huge hole left in him by Sun Xiaomu's departure without saying goodbye made him realize for the first time that the power of love could make him put down his so-called self-esteem and face as a man.
Liu Lihai dialed Sun Xiaomu's number again, but no one picked up. On such a bamboo forest path, Liu Lihai's disappointment confused him, and also confused the bamboo forest where the wind was blowing.
Liu Lihai wandered aimlessly. His footsteps became heavier and heavier as he stepped on the tip of his heart. He felt pain. This kind of feeling belonged to him, belonged to Sun Xiaomu. But on such a night, besides his disappointment, where was Sun Xiaomu? While he was daydreaming, he saw a woman in a white dress flash through the bamboo forest like a flash of lightning. She came and went quickly. At that moment, Liu Lihai thought it was an illusion, that he missed Sun Xiaomu too much and that his eyes were playing tricks on him. Just as he was about to turn around, Liu Shouwang's voice rang out. He was calling a woman's name, "Ruolan, Ruolan." His voice was obviously very low and revealed his nervousness.
Liu Lihai hurriedly hid himself. The woman in white replied, "I'm here." Her voice was soft and sweet. Liu Lihai thought that such a woman must have a face as sweet as honey, and must be so soft that water could drip from her body. But it was so late, how could such a woman appear here? And why would Liu Shouwang call her?
Then the woman in white smiled and said, "Looking for me."
Liu Shouwang really shuttled through the bamboo forest. Liu Lihai was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He tried to hide in a place where they could not see him.
Liu Shouwang said while looking, "Little vixen, don't hide. Come out, baby. "
Liu Lihai's face turned red and his heart beat faster. He did not expect Liu Shouwang, who was usually serious, to be so flirtatious, like a young man.
But who exactly was this woman in white? Liu Lihai encountered another mystery. Fortunately, Liu Shouwang quickly flashed away from the bamboo forest, and the woman in white left with him. They held hands, looking incomparably lovey-dovey, lingering to the point of causing others to be envious. Hiding in the darkness, Liu Lihai was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out. He did not know what he should say if he ran into Liu Shouwang and the woman. And what should he do?
In officialdom, as a subordinate, once he knew the privacy of his leader, he would either become the person that the leader trusted or the person that the leader rejected. It was very difficult to grasp this degree. Not many subordinates were willing to run into the privacy of their leader. Besides, he and Liu Shouwang were at the stage of getting used to each other. Liu Lihai could not make Liu Shouwang completely trust him, just as he did not fully trust Liu Shouwang. It was just that the appearance of the woman in white made Liu Lihai worry about Liu Shouwang. Although he could understand Liu Shouwang's loneliness in Lin County, he could also understand the physiological needs of these officials whose families were in other places. But Liu Shouwang's foundation in Lin County was so shallow. Could Liu Shouwang keep the secret when such a woman appeared here?
And who was this woman in white? Could her appearance be another kind of conspiracy? As soon as he thought of the word "conspiracy", Liu Lihai's heart tightened. He found that he was worried about Liu Shouwang. In such a county, how could Liu Shouwang dare to have such feelings that he shouldn't have?
Although as a man, Liu Lihai could understand and understand the emergence of a kind of emotion, it was not up to him. Especially in such a romantic atmosphere in Liu Love Villa, how many men could control a beautiful woman who came to their door? But could the wildflowers on the roadside be picked? Could the love between a man and a woman be produced in such an environment?
Liu Lihai did not dare to think about it. He could not even think about it.
Liu Lihai's mind became a mess again. He did not dare to take a walk in the bamboo forest anymore. He hurriedly fled along the darkest road. When he returned to his dormitory, his heart was still beating non-stop. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could not believe that Liu Shouwang would secretly meet such a woman in Lin County. But who was the woman who made Liu Shouwang fall in love with? This was something that Liu Lihai was very curious about.
As soon as Liu Lihai returned to his room, his phone rang with a message notification. He quickly took out his phone and looked at it. It was a message from Leng Hongyan: Come back this weekend. I miss you, baby.
