Chapter 95 Conversation
Zhou Lu was also suffering.
She loves Chen Jing very much.
The appearance of Chen Jing is a ray of light in her life, the warm sunshine that illuminates her dark life.
Chen Jing was full of vigor and vitality, like the bright moon.
But she is like a rat in the gutter, afraid of the light.
One is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
The two will not have any intersection.
But one day, Chen Jing, who was well-dressed and had a clear temperament, appeared in the university cafeteria and randomly grabbed someone to borrow his meal card.
And that passerby was her.
Although she was short of money, she handed over the card with a blushing face.
But the cold mechanical sound of the meal card indicating insufficient balance made her feel extremely ashamed.
When I looked down, I saw my pair of old sneakers that were washed so hard they turned white.
She ran away.
She didn't know why she ran.
Or maybe she was afraid of being laughed at by others.
Chen Jing is a famous figure in the school.
And so is she.
But she is negative.
After the meal card incident, Chen Jing always appeared around her for no reason.
After a long time, rumors began to spread in the school.
They called her a vixen and a lowly person, trying to get close to the rich and powerful without considering her own limitations.
Although she was annoyed, she had heard unpleasant words before and did not pay much attention to them.
Others kiss me with pain, and I respond with silence.
This has been Zhou Lu's survival rule since childhood.
What she didn't expect was that Chen Jing grabbed her hand with an angry look on his face and said, "Zhou Lu, don't you have a temper? Are you a nobody? You just let others bully you."
Zhou Lu was stunned.
From childhood to adulthood, no one told her that she should fight back if she was bullied.
She's not angry, so why is he angry?
Later Zhou Lu found out.
Chen Jing said he liked her.
The longer a person stays in a damp place, the more he yearns for sunshine.
She is not worthy of Chen Jing.
She rejected him.
Chen Jing persevered.
Once people come into contact with the sun, the unforgettable warmth makes them forget their original identity and want to touch and possess it across classes.
Chen Jing's love is like him, unrestrained and yet extremely gentle.
Zhou Lu fell.
It was Chen Jing who let her know that she should not touch cold water during her menstrual period, but she was forced to wash the clothes of the whole family by hand on countless cold winter nights.
Even though we have a washing machine at home, my stepmother says it can't clean the clothes well and they have to be washed by hand.
It was Chen Jing who taught her that she should wear shoes that fit her feet.
It was Chen Jing who made her realize that she had to eat breakfast on time, but she never had breakfast at home.
It was Chen Jing who taught her to resist, to say no, and to refuse.
Chen Jing is a perfect lover.
He made her head, which had been hanging down all day, raise up confidently, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Zhou Lu didn't understand, among the crowd of thousands.
Why does he like her?
Chen Jing answered her, the bright moon illuminates my heart.
Zhou Lu cried.
She can also be someone else's bright moon, rather than a waste that is bullied by others.
Until the arrival of Chen Jing's mother, this impossible relationship came to an end.
Every word Chen Jing's mother said made sense and was realistic.
The biting cold words were no less than stripping her naked in front of everyone.
That moment.
Zhou Lu faced reality.
After all, she and he are two parallel lines that can never intersect.
But she was very grateful to him.
It was Chen Jing's love that helped her escape from the swamp and made her become better and better.
The same thing.
Chen Jing is the perfect lover.
She knew he was in Yun Province.
Every year on his birthday, she would fly to Yun Province, hide in the dark and watch him quietly.
Did he get thinner or fatter?
Does he have a girlfriend?
Maybe he has already married a good girl who is of equal status to him?
He is so good, his wife must be very good too.
But four years.
Every time she saw Chen Jing,
The pent-up and sealed love tormented her all the time.
Burning and piercing.
now.
As long as she turns around, she can hug the man she loves deeply day and night.
The warm chest that made her long for it.
But.
She can't.
Love is not selfish.
Love is thinking what he thinks and doing what he wants.
He has a bright future and he is a dazzling presence.
Zhou Lu struggled out of Chen Jing's arms. She was afraid that if she stayed for another second, the defense she had maintained would collapse.
The army was completely defeated.
She held back her tears.
He reluctantly pushed Chen Jing out.
Chen Jing banged on the door in agony.
Inside the door, Zhou Lu squatted on the ground, heartbroken, with silent tears streaming down her face.
Until the neighbor next door heard the noise and came out to call the police.
Chen Jing shouted: "Report it, report it immediately, and let the police come."
Zhou Lu, who fell to the ground inside the door, didn't bother to wipe her tears. She hurriedly opened the door and pulled Chen Jing in.
She had no doubts.
Chen Jingzhen is capable of doing such a thing.
Chen Jing succeeded: "Lulu."
Zhou Lu said hoarsely, "Stay here if you want. I'm going to sleep."
After saying that, he ignored Chen Jing, went into the only bedroom in the house, and slammed the door.
Chen Jing stood in the small living room, smiling foolishly.
midnight.
In the small bedroom.
Zhou Lu screamed: "You are shameless, get out."
"Lulu, I just want to hold you. I'm afraid you'll disappear again if I let go." Chen Jing begged.
Zhou Lu finally softened her heart and let Chen Jing hold her.
The room is quiet.
Monday night is destined to be restless.
Jiangcheng, Linjiangyuan.
Low-rise villa area.
Secretary Liao sat alone in the study in silence.
Maybe he knew that his secretary was having difficulties at work.
Ever since the inspection team entered Jiangcheng, the old man has been very busy.
Normally he's not home at this time, why is he staying in the study without saying a word today?
Tan Jingshu made tea, brought some fruit and walked into the study.
Seeing Secretary Liao leaning back in his chair, distracted, he gently placed the tea tray on the table.
He walked around behind Secretary Liao and raised his hand to pinch the somewhat stiff shoulder.
"Cheng Gang, what's wrong? You've been worried lately."
Secretary Liao sighed: "Jingshu, I'm really in trouble."
Tan Jingshu continued to press her hand: "Then tell me, I am responsible for listening."
Secretary Liao sat up straight and pointed at the chair opposite him: "Jingshu, sit down and let's talk."
"Okay, I'm all ears."
Secretary Liao pondered how to start the conversation.
Tan Jingshu first asked: "What about the inspection team?"
Secretary Liao nodded: "Yes, it's quite complicated."
"How complicated?"
Secretary Liao said cautiously: "This case involves a lot of people. If we are not careful, it will cause a huge uproar."
"So what? Isn't there a country?"
"The country." Secretary Liao remained silent.
Tan Jingshu added, "Can the heaven you're talking about be bigger than the country?"
“…”
"Of course I can't."
Tan Jingshu: "That's not Heaven. The real Heaven is the country and the people."
Secretary Liao stared at Tan Jingshu who was sitting opposite him.
"Jingshu, what if I get dragged into this dispute?"
Tan Jingshu stood up and handed the tea on the tray to Secretary Liao. "Cheng Gang, I remember when I first met you, what attracted me most was your lofty ambition. You were young and promising, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and you were always full of energy."
"What's wrong now? I'm older and my heart is older too?"
Secretary Liao said helplessly: "The world is different now. We can no longer just rush forward with passion."
Tan Jingshu: "So you rushed around like crazy?"
Secretary Liao shook his head.
Tan Jingshu: "That's right, what are you afraid of?"
Secretary Liao stood up and shook Tan Jingshu's hand, his tone suppressed: "I'm not afraid, but what about you? What about the children? Your parents are old too, I'm really afraid for you..."
Tan Jingshu smiled faintly and muttered, "My parents receive their pension insurance every month, and the children can take care of themselves through work. Even if I get laid off, I can still find a job to make ends meet. At worst, we still have some savings."
"Jingshu, you..."
Tan Jingshu said coldly, "Why? Are you reluctant to give up your position as secretary?"
Secretary Liao quickly waved his hands: "No, I just..."
Tan Jingshu stepped forward, her eyes firm: "It's just that Cheng Gang follows the country, the party, and the people in everything he does."
"You don't have the courage of Mr. Xu. You should go and pay him a visit. Maybe you will get the answer."
"Besides, in the past, wars meant losing one's life at a time. The prosperity of our motherland today is also based on the foundation laid by our elders at the cost of mountains of blood and hills of corpses. We must not destroy the foundation."
Secretary Liao had a complicated expression: "I'm overthinking it. I'm ashamed. I'm not as insightful as you."
Tan Jingshu smiled and said, "No, you are confused because you are in the situation. I know you have the responsibilities of a son, a husband, and a father, but I also know you have the responsibilities of a secretary."
"Cheng Gang, I can also shoulder the burden of my family. I just wanted to provoke you with my words."
Secretary Liao put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said solemnly, "I know."
Tan Jingshu said softly: "We must always trust the country."
As his wife understood what was said, Secretary Liao looked back at the five-star red flag on his desk.
Bright and eye-catching.
It can be seen at a glance in the dark.
He said solemnly, "You take a rest first. I'll go see Secretary Xu."
