When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.
With no backing, Li Lin's polit...
Li Lan has too many secrets!
I can't see through her anymore!
Put these aside.
Li Lin walked behind Li Lan and said softly, "Sister, you've been tense all day. Don't think too much and take a rest."
Li Lan slowly turned around and saw the wound on Li Lin's eyelid, and was inexplicably moved.
That was an injury for her!
She reached out and caressed Li Lin's cheek, gently and slowly...
"Xiao Lin, I'm afraid... afraid that this kind of thing will happen to you and me again."
...
The curtain of night falls quietly, and the hustle and bustle of the city is isolated outside the window.
The light and shadow of the neon lights penetrated through the gaps in the curtains and gently crept into the house like a dreamy colorful silk.
Li Lan was like a small boat looking for a warm harbor. She curled up in Li Lin's arms and fell into a deep sleep peacefully.
Her breathing was even and steady, and her slightly warm breath brushed lightly across Li Lin's chest, like a kitten napping in the winter sun, so soft and so warm.
Li Lin just sat there quietly, afraid that any slight movement would disturb the girl in his arms.
Even though his limbs gradually became numb from maintaining the same posture for a long time, there was no trace of complaint in his eyes.
In order to let Li Lan sleep a little longer, he could only carefully shake his arms and move them gently to get the blood circulating again.
Looking at Li Lan's body that was still trembling slightly even in his sleep, Li Lin's heart was filled with endless pity.
She experienced too many shocks and twists and turns that day, and the fear and anxiety hung over her heart like a haze.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked her back, his fingertips conveying silent comfort and care, as if telling her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Under his gentle caress, Li Lan's trembling body gradually calmed down, her brows were no longer furrowed, and her face showed a hint of peace.
Li Lin felt her warmth in his arms, his heart filled with love and determination to protect her.
At this moment, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world, with each other's breath and heartbeat intertwined.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the moonlight sprinkled on them like water.
Li Lin lowered his head, like a thief, and gently kissed Li Lan on the forehead. This kiss was full of warmth and responsibility.
In this quiet night, they rely on each other and keep each other warm.
This warmth not only dispels the coldness of the night, but also dispels the fear and fatigue in life.
They were like two wandering stars who finally found their home in each other's arms, spending the long night in each other's arms.
...
The next morning, the faint sunlight shone through the mottled leaves and sprinkled on the car window.
Joan woke up from the car with tired eyes. He felt as if all the bones in his body were crushed by a heavy object and were aching.
He twisted his neck, stretched his limbs, and then yawned deeply, trying to drive away the drowsiness that followed him like a shadow.
Last night, Li Lin showed concern and asked him to find a nearby hotel to rest.
Qiao An agreed readily at the time, but when he arrived at the hotel and asked the price, he found out that one room cost more than three hundred yuan.
He touched his empty wallet and was reluctant to spend the money. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to drive the car to the gate of Li Lan's community.
After turning off the car, Qiao An folded down the seat and curled up in the car all night.
Joan did not sleep well that night as the small space in the car made it difficult for him to stretch his body.
In a daze, he found that there were more than one person spending the night in the car on the side of the road.
Not far from him, there was another car with two men inside who also spent the night.
In the dim light of the street lamp, Joan looked at the car carefully.
One of them was a bald man, his bald head glowing faintly under the light.
There was a frightening ferocity in his eyes, his face was full of flesh, and there were strange tattoos on his arms. He didn't look like a good person.
Qiao An's heart tightened and he immediately became alert, worried that something bad might happen.
It was at this moment that the roar of a car engine broke the tranquility of the early morning.
Suddenly, two black cars drove up to the roadside, and the tires made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground.
Before the car stopped, six or seven people walked out of the car.
They were dressed in uniform black uniforms and moved in unison. Everyone wore a pair of sunglasses and looked serious and cold.
Without saying a word, these people raised the window breakers in their hands and rushed towards the bald man's car.
With a loud "bang", the bald man's car window shattered instantly, and glass shards flew everywhere.
Then they opened the car door and roughly dragged the bald man and another person out of the car.
The bald man and his companions were obviously not prepared for this sudden attack. They struggled and shouted curses.
Joan watched the scene nervously, her heart pounding. For a moment she couldn't figure out who was the good guy and who was the bad guy on both sides.
He quickly dialed Li Lin's number.
"Brother, there are two gangs fighting at the gate of the community! I don't know if they are coming for Sister Chong Lan and you. Should I call the police?"
