The courtyard and the buildings in the inner courtyard had the architectural style of his previous life. It was antique and on this snowy night, it gave people the feeling that they had traveled back in time to the ancient times. Li Rui reached out his hand to touch the snowflakes in the air, but his eyes were fixed on the cornices of the roof of the inner courtyard. He thought to himself, how good would it be if he was in the ancient times? He married a Qingman as his first wife, then married Yao Xuefei and Dong Jieyu as his concubines, and then took in his little sister Bai Bing. How happy would his life be?
He was hesitating whether or not to call his little sister Bai Bing. Even if it was just a few words, it would be enough to show that he missed her. Suddenly, he heard a familiar woman's voice from the corner in front of him, "Can you stop bothering me? A divorce is a divorce. I'm having dinner with my family. Don't bother me. That's all, I'm hanging up. "
Li Rui thought he was dreaming. If it wasn't, how could he hear the voice of his crush Ding Yijing in the provincial capital? He pinched his cheeks. It hurt, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't be dreaming. The snowflakes in the sky would occasionally hit his face and leave traces of water. He was so happy that he almost went crazy and called out, "Jing Jing?"
A slender figure walked out from the corner and slowly approached Li Rui. It seemed that she was sizing him up, but in the darkness of the night, it was hard to see clearly. Even though the courtyard was lit, the lights were too scattered and weak.
Li Rui asked, "Jing Jing, is that you?" The person didn't hesitate and walked a few steps to stand in front of him and said, "Why are you here?" Li Rui saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was his goddess Ding Yijing. He was so happy that he almost fainted and called out, "It really is you." Ding Yijing calmly said, "I just came back in the afternoon and didn't have time to contact you." Li Rui rushed forward to hug her. Ding Yijing angrily pushed him and scolded, "Go away, don't you see where you are?" Li Rui giggled and said, "Oh my god, why did you suddenly come back? I was just thinking about when I should go to the provincial capital to visit you. "Ding Yijing looked at him, her expression was neither happy nor sad as she lightly said," I'm divorced. "Li Rui laughed," Good, haha, good divorce! "
Ding Yijing rolled her eyes at him and said, "I knew you would say that." Li Rui said, "Why are you here?" Ding Yijing said, "My whole family is here for dinner, my father is here too." Li Rui happily said, "Should I go and offer him a toast?" Ding Yijing scolded, "Get lost! What are you doing, you want to go and offer him a toast? "Li Rui laughed and said," From now on I'll be his unregistered son-in-law. "Ding Yijing coldly glanced at him but didn't say anything else and asked," What are you doing here? " Li Rui whispered, "I'm here to accompany my boss for dinner, I really didn't expect to meet you here. You see, we are fated." Ding Yijing pursed her lips and said, "Qingyang is so young, you can meet him wherever you go, what's so strange about that? What do you mean by fated? That's far-fetched! "
Li Rui smiled and said, "Good Jingjing, are you free tonight?" Ding Yijing asked, "Why?" Li Rui said, "I want to stay with you for a while." Ding Yijing said, "I'm so tired, I want to sleep after dinner." Li Rui acted coquettishly and said, "I miss you so much, just stay with me for a while, what's the rush to sleep? When can't you sleep? " Ding Yijing said, "Why are you in such a hurry, I'll stay here for a while this time, I'll stay with you another day." Li Rui said, "No, I want to stay with you tonight."
When he said this, he had long forgotten about his old boss, Yuan Jingjing. There was no other way, although Yuan Jingjing's weight in his heart was not light, it was completely incomparable to the existence of Ding Yijing, this "goddess".
In every man's heart, there was a goddess that could never be reached, whether it was because of love, or because they couldn't get, in short, they would have a very complicated and subtle feeling towards her. This kind of feeling was very destructive, it could make the person involved drunk and unable to sleep at night, and it could also cruelly deprive the person of feelings for other women, including his wife.
This was where the power of a goddess came from. Otherwise, why would she be called a "goddess"?
Even though Li Rui had changed from a poverty-stricken small staff member of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau to the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, his status was not what it used to be, but in front of a goddess like Ding Yijing, he would always be a "prostitute". From this, it could be seen that this kind of feeling towards a goddess did not change because of a person's status and wealth, this was a kind of painful belief that would never change.
Ding Yijing snorted and said, "What's there to stay for? Li Rui laughed and said, "Anywhere is fine." Ding Yijing said, "It's snowing so heavily, I'm too lazy to go anywhere, let's do it another day." Li Rui acted coquettishly and said, "Won't it be fine if we don't stay outside?" Ding Yijing looked at him and said, "If we don't stay outside, where do we go?" Li Rui said, "We can stay in the car, or find a coffee shop." Ding Yijing had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright, then I'll stay with you for a while." Li Rui was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, I won't stay with you for too long, I'll send you home when it's time." Ding Yijing looked at him and sighed faintly, "Why are you doing this?" Li Rui laughed and said, "It's not hard, not hard, not hard at all, I've already finished my suffering and the sweetness has come. You go back to eat first, I'll find you later after I finish eating, I still have to send my boss back first. "
Ding Yijing said, "By then I'll have already gone home, ai, if you want me to say it's fine, can't you do it tomorrow?" Li Rui saw that she was still unwilling, only then did he remember that Yuan Jingjing had already made an appointment with him, he thought for a while and said, "If you really don't want to, then let's do it tomorrow. But what if you still don't want to tomorrow? "Ding Yijing scolded," You're really stupid, do you think I'll be unwilling every day? If I don't want to not early … "Li Rui laughed, revealing his white teeth and said," Then it's settled, we'll have dinner together tomorrow night. "Ding Yijing nodded and said," En, let's go back. "
The two walked back to the restaurant and entered their respective private rooms.
Li Rui returned to the private room and saw that all the meat dishes had been served, waiting for the hotpot to start. Zhang Mingfang and Song Chaoyang were chatting happily, one with a smile on her face and the other with a smile on his face, as if they had found a soulmate. His heart skipped a beat and he sat down and waited for a while until Zhang Mingfang stopped drinking tea before he said, "Sister Zhang, I suddenly have an urgent matter, I'll leave as soon as I finish eating, can I trouble you to send my boss back?" Zhang Mingfang said straightforwardly, "If you have something to do, go ahead, I promise I'll send Big Brother Song back."
Only then did Li Rui ask Song Chaoyang for his opinion, "Boss, do you think this will be okay?" Song Chaoyang knew what he meant, but did not point it out. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Mingfang."
Zhang Mingfang immediately said, "Aiya, Big Brother Song, aren't you treating me like an outsider? Today we're all sitting together, there are no outsiders, I'll have to toast you later. " Song Chaoyang said, "No need to wait for the hotpot, I see you're a straightforward person, why don't we have a toast first?" How could Zhang Mingfang not agree? She immediately got up and poured wine.
Li Rui quickly got up and snatched the wine bottle from her hands. He opened the cap and filled the glasses for the two leaders, then poured for himself as well.
The wine glasses here were all mugs, it would take a lot of alcohol to finish such a big glass.
Song Chaoyang considered his own alcohol tolerance and said, "As long as we get what we want, there's no need to toast. Let's drink half of it, okay?" Zhang Mingfang smiled and said, "You can say whatever you want, I'm risking my life to accompany you today." Song Chaoyang laughed and said, "Don't, you still have to take care of your body, don't become a martyr at the drinking table."
The three of them clinked their glasses and each drank half of the wine. By the time they put down their glasses, the hotpot was already boiling. Li Rui and Zhang Mingfang fought to put in the mutton.
The charcoal in the hotpot was burning brightly, and with the boiling broth cooking, the thin slices of mutton were cooked after a few rolls.
Zhang Mingfang picked up a large piece of mutton with her chopsticks and placed it in Song Chaoyang's bowl of seasoning, saying, "Try the charcoal hotpot. What do you think?" Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "You eat too, you don't have to take care of me." He gave her a piece of mutton in return.
Li Rui did not have the same treatment, so he could only take care of himself.
Song Chaoyang ate a mouthful of mutton dipped in mahjong sauce and nodded repeatedly, praising it endlessly after he finished eating. Zhang Mingfang saw that he was eating happily, so she was happy too, and gave him two more pieces of mutton.
The three of them began to eat and drink. With Zhang Mingfang, a woman who was eloquent and tactful, the atmosphere naturally became more flirtatious. After the meal, Song Chaoyang was in a good mood. Under the influence of the alcohol, he was drunk and warm. Needless to say, it was very refreshing.
He said contentedly, "Mingfang, you have to take me to try more of these special dishes in the future." How could Zhang Mingfang not understand that this was a sign of approval? She smiled until her eyelashes bloomed, making her look even more beautiful. She said, "Absolutely no problem. Brother Song, I'm not blowing my own trumpet, but our government doesn't have a Food Bureau. If there was such a department, I would definitely be worthy of the position. "Song Chaoyang laughed and said," Interesting. " Zhang Mingfang said, "Actually, my cooking skills are pretty good. Braised fish in soy sauce and vinegar fish are very popular. I'll make a few of my signature dishes for you to try some other day. "Song Chaoyang smiled and said," Okay, then I'll wait. "
It was not even nine o 'clock after the meal, and the three of them arrived at the door. Song Chaoyang got into Zhang Mingfang's car, and Zhang Mingfang would send him back to Qingyang Hotel. Li Rui got into the Yi Bureau's official car and drove back to the Municipal Party Committee. After returning the car, he went outside to hail a taxi and rushed to Yuan Jingjing's house.
