That night, after more than an hour of deep thought, Lu Tao finally made a difficult decision. He had to restrain his love for He Ying in the future. He couldn't have any ambiguous actions with her, let alone have an intimate relationship with her. Otherwise, his relationship with Zhou Yihong would be completely broken, and he might even face unpredictable and serious consequences …
Although he made this decision, Lu Tao felt very painful. He lay in bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. In his mind, He Ying was the most perfect and excellent woman. She was also his ideal girlfriend or even wife. However, such a goddess who looked cold and arrogant, as beautiful as a fairy, actually cheated on him during her marriage. Moreover, she was someone else's "mistress." What kind of "f * ck" was this?!
Most importantly, even though he knew that she might have a bad moral character, and that she might be Zhou Yihong's lover, as long as he thought of the two times he secretly held hands with her, Lu Tao would feel a sense of ecstasy and ecstasy. This feeling was like a drug. Although he knew that it was harmful and poisonous, he couldn't help but think about it, savor it, and even want to try it again …
For the next two days, Lu Tao walked through the vast forest of Mount Shuangxiong with his backpackers. It wasn't until four o 'clock on Sunday afternoon that they walked out of the forest and arrived at a village where the car was parked.
Because there was no signal on his phone while walking through the forest, Lu Tao simply turned off his phone. After walking out of the forest, he turned on his phone immediately and found that there were five or six missed calls from He Ying.
Lu Tao didn't want to return the call. He wanted to go to his hometown with a backpacker for dinner. However, he thought that it would be too heartless and too excessive, so he called back. As soon as the call connected, he heard He Ying anxiously ask, "Little Lu, are you back? Why can't I get through to your phone? I've already bought the ingredients. I'm waiting for you to come back to cook. How long will it take you to get home? "
Lu Tao said in an apologetic tone, "Sister Ying, I'm really sorry. We just walked out of the forest and haven't taken the car back yet. I don't think we can make it back in time to cook —"
He Ying immediately interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, okay, then hurry back. I'll cook tonight and wait for you to come back so we can eat together. Hurry up!"
Lu Tao hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "Sister Ying, we have a backpacker friend whose hometown is near the Twin Bear Mountains. He invited us to his house to eat the local chicken, so I won't be back for dinner. You don't have to wait for me!"
When He Ying heard that he wasn't going back for dinner, she was stunned for a while. Suddenly, she cursed, "You bastard, liar!" Then, she hung up the phone …
In order to avoid the awkwardness of meeting He Ying, Lu Tao had dinner at his friend's house. After returning to the county, he deliberately went to the office to look at the computer until 11 pm. He guessed that He Ying would be asleep by then, so he quietly went home.
Just as he was about to take off his clothes and take a shower, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Intuitively, Lu Tao felt that the person who knocked on the door should be He Ying. He could not help but complain in his heart. If it was really He Ying, she must be here to blame him. How should he explain to her that he had stood her up?
Before he could figure it out, He Ying's voice came from outside, "Little Lu, open the door! I know you're back. Don't pretend to be asleep! "
Lu Tao had no choice but to put on his half-taken shirt again. He shuffled to the door in his slippers and opened it. With an awkward smile, he asked, "Sister Ying, I just got home. What's the matter?"
At the same time, he was mentally prepared to be scolded by He Ying. However, to his surprise, He Ying did not scold him. She did not even mention that he had stood her up. She found a pair of slippers on the shoe cabinet and put them on. As she walked towards the study, she asked faintly, "Do you have any good books at home? I have been a little insomnia recently. I want to find a few good books to read before going to bed. Maybe it will help me sleep. "
When Lu Tao heard that she wanted to borrow books to read, he was a little surprised at first. However, he immediately reacted. Borrowing books was just an excuse. She must have been waiting at home for him to come back. That was why she hadn't slept yet. Moreover, she must have been listening to the movements here. When he got off the elevator and opened the door, she heard the sound, so she found an excuse to come and meet him!
When this idea popped up, Lu Tao's heart skipped a beat. Did she really fall in love with him? He remembered that in Mr. Qian Zhongshu's novel, "Fortress Besieged," there was a classic quote, "Women are not willing to spend money to buy books. This is known to all. Men are willing to buy candy, clothes, and cosmetics for women, but they are only willing to lend books to her. They are not willing to buy or give them to her. What kind of logic is this? If you borrow a book, you have to return it. A book can be used as an excuse for two contacts without leaving any trace. This is the first step of a relationship between a man and a woman. Once you borrow a book, it becomes a big problem. "
On Friday, when he was eating at He Ying's house, Lu Tao deliberately went to her study to take a look. Other than some political books, public security books, and the Four Classic Novels, there were basically no other books on the shelves. This proved that she did not like to read. So, now that she suddenly came to his house and asked to borrow books, was this what Mr. Qian Zhongshu meant by "looking for an excuse?"
So, he asked casually, "Sister Ying, what kind of books do you like to read? Novels, essays, or poems? I don't have a lot of other things here, but I do have a lot of books. "
He Ying hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know what kind of books I want to read. Why don't you recommend a few books to me?"
Lu Tao smiled and said, "If you want to read some books to relax before going to bed, I recommend a few books. One is Mr. Liang Shiqiu's" Elegant House Sketches. " This is a collection of essays. Every essay in it is lively and interesting, and the language is very humorous. It is most suitable to read before going to bed. The other book is Mr. Yu Qiuyu's "Bitter Cultural Journey" or "Mountain Residence Notes." These two books are about Mr. Yu Qiuyu's reflections on exploring Chinese civilization. They express his feelings about the rise and fall of civilization, his call to respect culture, and his yearning for a healthy personality. It is worth reading. "
He Ying stared at him with her pair of beautiful eyes and said sincerely, "Little Lu, no wonder Bureau Chief Zhou said that you are brimming with talent. From the books you read and the way you talk, you are indeed talented. Moreover, you have good martial arts. It can be said that you are well-versed in both the pen and the sword. In the future, you will have great achievements."
