I lowered my head in thought, my eyes falling on Chang Yue, who was crying silently in my arms. After a moment's thought, I said, "How about we go back?"
Chang Yue slowly raised her head, her eyes red and tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She asked in a sobbing voice, "Go back? What do you mean? Now that you know about my family's scandal, you want to make fun of me... right?"
Seeing her reaction like this, my heart tightened and I quickly shook my head vigorously. Knowing that she was sensitive and fragile at the moment, I hurriedly explained: "I mean, go back to my home."
Chang Yue was slightly startled when he heard this, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He asked, "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't go back?"
I reached out and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. I said, "It's okay. I'll just lie when we get home. I'll just say I accidentally fell down the stairs. I can't mention being hit by a car or getting stabbed twice."
After hearing this, Chang Yue nodded slightly and her emotions gradually calmed down.
…
In the afternoon, in Zhu Wei's living room.
Zhu Wei held the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and said, "I'll take you home."
I waved my hand and responded, "That's too much trouble. I can do it myself."
Zhu Wei frowned, took the cigarette out of his mouth, waved his hand, and said in a tough tone: “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m afraid something will happen on the way.”
…
The car drove smoothly on the highway.
A BMW X5 is in front, and two are following closely.
My car is in the middle..
Maintaining a perfect distance between cars, it looks very impressive.
The bull is driving my car..
I leaned back comfortably in the back seat, feeling a bit more relaxed. My lips curled up unconsciously as I jokingly said, "Tsk, tsk, look at this scene! Three BMWs escorting us the entire way... This treatment is even more impressive than our mayor's... Haha!"
Chang Yue was sitting next to me. When she heard what I said, she turned her head and gave me a blank look with helplessness in her eyes... Then, she shook her head slightly, sighed softly, and continued to look out the window.
Zhu Wei heard what I said, turned his head slightly, looked at me, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He said, "You're overthinking it. By the way, have you met your mayor?"
When I heard this, I subconsciously shook my head, and the image of the mayor that I had seen in the picture on the bulletin board appeared in my mind... I thought to myself: Indeed, apart from that picture, I have never seen the mayor in person in real life.
"That's it," Zhu Wei continued, his eyes looking out the windshield, seemingly gazing into the distance. "What we see every day is just superficial. These so-called displays might not even be worth mentioning in the eyes of those with real status."
Daniu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Ah Wei... has grown a lot since that incident... He's no longer the little playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wei stared straight ahead with a steady gaze and responded, "Really? Perhaps... Come to think of it, I'm a few months older than A-Yu... Age-wise, I should be his older brother... But who could have imagined that he would risk his own life to save me at such a critical moment?" At this point, a hint of self-blame and determination flashed in his eyes. "I really don't want to see anyone around me in this kind of danger again... So lately, whenever I get the chance, I go out with Zhu Changhong to identify people."
After listening to it, I feel that Zhu Wei has indeed changed a lot. He used to be very resistant to these things, but now he is slowly getting in touch with the path paved for him by Mr. Zhu. However, this path is definitely his best choice.
When I think of Mr. Zhu, I remember the scene when he met Lao Li in the hospital. What is their relationship? I heard Lao Li say before that he came back from the army and stayed outside for more than a year. Later, he opened a bar at home. I have been there for almost three years, and I haven't seen him have any particularly rich friends.
Old Li also said to find Old Master Zhu if anything goes wrong and tell him his name... If I really use that thing, will Old Master Zhu protect me? That's no small matter... Are their relationship really that close? Then why didn't they even say hello last time?
All kinds of questions are tangled in my mind like a tangled thread, and I can't sort them out.
…
After several hours of running around, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.
Finally arrived at our small county town..
I directed Da Niu to drive the car to Lao Li's Xiaoqing Bar...several cars were parked steadily downstairs.
I pushed open the car door, leaned on my crutches, and slowly stood up and got out of the car... Chang Yue hurriedly came around to my side, gently took my arm, and gave me support... Zhu Wei and Daniu followed behind, and the others either ate or found a hotel... A few were left downstairs to watch.
We walked towards the bar, and just as we approached the door, Li Min saw me from behind the reception desk... Her face, which was originally wearing a professional smile, suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise. She quickly put down the drink list in her hand, and walked quickly around the reception desk towards us.
Li Min's eyes immediately fell on the crutches I was leaning on. She asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
I laughed and joked, saying casually: "It's nothing. I was just trying to save a beautiful woman and accidentally rolled headfirst from the 13th floor to the first floor." As I said this, I danced with my hands and gestured to demonstrate the rolling movements.
Li Min curled her lips and rolled her eyes. She scolded, "You've never changed. You still love to brag!" Then, she looked at Chang Yue next to me and asked curiously, "Is this your new girlfriend? She's really beautiful..."
When I heard this, I was very unhappy and retorted with a frown: "What do you mean by new girlfriend? A girlfriend is a girlfriend. What do you mean by adding "new" in front of it?"
