Li Rui did not complain about it at all and took it calmly. In addition, his thoughts were not on these people, but on the beautiful Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang was still sitting at the same table as her colleagues from the archeological team. Speaking of which, these people had contributed greatly to the excavation of the ancient tomb. Without them, the large number of burial objects in the ancient tomb would not have been unearthed in one piece. Therefore, County Head Chen specially invited them to attend the banquet together. Otherwise, how could they be qualified to attend a banquet where the provincial leaders were invited to?
Halfway through the banquet, Li Rui caught a glimpse of Xiao Fang walking out of the room. His heart skipped a beat. He had to go to the washroom even if he had to pretend. On the way out, he kept thinking about how to strike up a conversation with her openly. He could not let her think that he was frivolous and impulsive, but he also had to make her like him. This was not an easy task.
He walked into the courtyard and did not see Xiao Fang. He guessed that she must have gone to the washroom. He wanted to go to the washroom to wait for her, but it was not a suitable place to strike up a conversation. Moreover, it would be easy to be seen. He thought about it and stood near the washroom to wait. However, he could not think of a good way to strike up a conversation. He was very anxious and thought to himself, 'Do I have to strike up a conversation with her directly? That would be Sima Zhao's intention. Everyone would know, and she would definitely look down on me. '
Just as he was worrying, Ling Shuyao walked out of the hall and saw him. She walked over and said, "Hey, where's the washroom?" Li Rui reached out and pointed to a corner. Ling Shuyao walked past him and looked at him in confusion. "What are you doing?" Li Rui smiled. "I'm waiting for you to go to the washroom so I can show you the way." Ling Shuyao could not help but laugh. She looked at him meaningfully and walked towards the washroom.
Not long after she walked over, Xiao Fang walked out from the washroom.
Li Rui was very excited when he saw her. His mind was in a mess and he did not know how to strike up a conversation with her. When he saw her approaching him step by step, he was so anxious that he wanted to jump up and down and curse himself for being useless.
Xiao Fang also saw him. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she seemed to be very interested in him.
As a result, Li Rui was not nervous. He tried to calm down and waited for her to come to a place not far from him. He first nodded and smiled at her, then took the initiative to say, "Hello!" After saying that, he became more and more nervous. What if she ignored him? It was a small matter for him to lose face, but he was afraid that it would be even more difficult for him to get close to her in the future. That would be terrible.
Xiao Fang, on the other hand, was very natural and unrestrained. She stopped in front of him and asked as if she was talking to an old friend, "What are you doing here?" When Li Rui saw that she had responded, he was inexplicably happy and stupidly said, "Nothing … nothing." He was afraid that she would turn around and leave, so he asked, "You must be exhausted today, right?" Xiaofang nodded and said, "Yes, I'm exhausted, but I'm not as relaxed as you." When Li Rui heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that it wasn't that she didn't pay attention to him, it was just that he didn't notice that she was paying attention to him. He was delighted and said, "I'm just going to relax for these two days. When I get busy, I'll be even more tired than you."
Xiao Fang asked, "What do you do? I saw that our Captain Cao and Director Zhao of the Cultural Relics Bureau were very polite to you. " Li Rui was a little proud, but he said in a modest tone, "I'm a cadre of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee. This time, I'm here in Xiao Longwang Village to carry out a poverty alleviation pilot project." Xiao Fang was puzzled and asked, "Isn't the Poverty Alleviation Office a government department? How can you be part of the Municipal Party Committee? "Li Rui laughed and said," I didn't say that I'm part of the Poverty Alleviation Office. I'm just following orders to do poverty alleviation work. You seem to be very familiar with the Poverty Alleviation Office? "Xiao Fang said," My sister is an accountant in the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office. "Li Rui said," No wonder, hehe … "
The two of them started to chat. After a few sentences, the conversation was quite good. The more they talked, the more they got along.
When Ling Shuyao came out from the washroom, she saw Li Rui chatting with a young woman. She was surprised and curious, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Li Rui deliberately ignored her and left her with a side profile. He thought to himself, "In the past, I've always been the one to show my warm face to your cold butt. Today, I should show my cold butt to you."
When Ling Shuyao returned to the hall, Li Rui felt that it wasn't appropriate to pester Xiao Fang to chat outside. What if she wasn't full yet? Wouldn't he affect her mood during dinner? He said, "Let's go back. You definitely haven't eaten enough." Xiao Fang sighed and said, "I'm so tired. I really don't have the mood to eat. Right now, I just want to go back to the hotel and sleep. " Li Rui saw that she was acting coquettishly, and her words revealed her closeness to him. He finally found the feeling of being a handsome man from her. He smiled and said, "The banquet won't last long. It should be over soon. Then you can go back to sleep. Sleep however you want."
Xiao Fang said, "But I still have to work tomorrow morning. Sigh, I can't finish." Li Rui asked, "Oh, have you not cleaned up all the burial objects in the ancient tomb?" Xiao Fang shook her head and said, "It's not that. My job is not to clean up the burial objects …" Li Rui interrupted, "I know. You're in charge of recording the information of the tomb. Captain Cao said that in person, didn't he?" Xiao Fang said, "Yes, I haven't finished the recording work. I still have to work tomorrow." Li Rui comforted her, "You don't have to come across ancient tombs all day long. When you're done with your work and go back to the city, you can have a good rest. "Xiao Fang said," I want to go back to the city now. "Li Rui smiled and said," We're really in the same boat. I think so too. "
Xiao Fang sighed, giving people a feeling of helplessness. Li Rui really wanted to ask her, as a beauty, why did she choose to work in archaeology. But when he saw her walking towards the door, he didn't dare to ask such unimportant questions. He chased after her and asked, "Give me your contact information. I'll treat you to a meal when we're back in the city." Xiao Fang stopped and asked, "Why do you want to treat me to a meal?" Li Rui was quick-witted and said, "I'm very interested in ancient tomb excavations. I have a lot of questions in my heart. Since you're an expert, I want to ask for your advice. Hehe."
Xiao Fang said, "But I just joined the industry. Don't you see that I only do some recording work? Captain Cao doesn't even dare to let me touch the burial objects. He's afraid that I'll accidentally break them. I don't know much. If you have any questions, you should ask Captain Cao. " Li Ruixin said, "Even if I have questions, I won't ask Captain Cao. What's there to talk about with an old man?" He said with a thick face, "My questions are all relatively shallow. I'm afraid that Captain Cao will laugh at me, so I wanted to ask you." Xiao Fang said, "So it's like this. Okay, if you don't think that I'm ignorant and inexperienced, then come find me. You can write down my phone number …"
Li Rui wrote down her phone number and called back, "I'm Li Rui. What's your name?" Xiao Fang said, "My name is Fang Zhitong." Li Rui was shocked and said, "Eh, I remember Captain Cao called you Xiao Fang? Why isn't your name Fang? "Fang Zhitong said," What? Captain Cao called me Xiao Fang. Fang is my surname. " Li Rui suddenly realized. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "I thought your name was Xiao Fang."
When Li Ruixin returned to his seat, he was already in a good mood. He didn't expect that he would be able to get to know Fang Zhitong so easily. He also didn't expect that he would be able to get her phone number so easily. From this, it seems that this girl is easy to make friends with. Once he returns to the city, he must find a way to deepen his relationship with her. This kind of temperament and beauty is rare. He can't miss this opportunity.
Ling Shuyao faintly glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I found out that you're about to become a womanly friend. Women surround you everywhere you go." Li Rui pretended to be profound and smiled. He didn't say anything. He thought to himself, this is not the time for you to be cold to me. Today, I'll learn from you and give you a taste of your own medicine. Ling Shuyao saw his face and secretly curled her lips. She didn't ask anything.
After the banquet, Li Rui was half drunk again. He handed the task of driving back to the village to Ling Shuyao.
Ling Shuyao shook her head and refused, "I don't want to drive. I didn't bring my driver's license." Li Rui laughed, "Don't play dumb with me. There are no traffic police in the village. What are you afraid of if you don't have your license? Don't tell me that you can't drive without your license? "Ling Shuyao snorted and said," I'm too lazy to drive. "Li Rui said," But I'm drunk. Aren't you afraid that I'll drive into a ditch? " Ling Shuyao said, "I've never touched a car since I graduated from driving school. Aren't you afraid that I'll drive you into a ditch?" Li Rui laughed, "How about this? Let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses gets to drive. "Ling Shuyao laughed," Sure, come on. "
The two of them stood face to face, looked at each other, and shouted "one, two, three". Although they started at the same time, Li Rui deliberately slowed down his waving motion. When he saw Ling Shuyao's scissors, he waved his fist and rushed over, laughing, "I won." Ling Shuyao frowned coldly and said, "I'm too lazy to scold you. Why are you so proud of yourself after cheating?" Li Rui smiled and handed the car keys to her, saying, "Please, I believe in you." Ling Shuyao snorted, "If I really drive into a ditch, don't blame me."
After getting into the car, Ling Shuyao adjusted her sitting position and adjusted her left and right rearview mirrors. She skillfully started the car and started the car slowly.
Li Rui praised, "Hmm, you're driving very steadily. Just drive, I'll take a nap. "Ling Shuyao didn't say anything and focused on driving.
Li Rui closed his eyes to rest. His brain was muddled from the alcohol and his body was jolting along with the car. However, he was thinking about Fang Zhitong, whom he had just met.
