Chapter 56 Kiss
Facing Tao Nanfeng's questioning, Chen Zhilu seemed a little guilty.
"Well, it's just two days of overtime, which is nothing. Now there are a lot of requests for phosphate ore piled up there, and we can't do anything about it."
Qiao Yadong asked Tao Nanfeng: "Why, can't we speed up the process?"
Tao Nanfeng closed his eyes and tried to calm his voice. "Before I left, I told you again and again, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, maintain the mining volume of 50 tons per day, dig forward according to the route I drew, and erect two support pillars every three meters, right?"
Chen Zhilu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's what we did."
Tao Nanfeng said: "But, I now estimate that you are mining at least 60 tons a day, which has exceeded the mining volume I stipulated. The advancement speed is too fast, and the reinforcement treatment is not carried out in time, so..."
Chen Zhi was panicking and hit his head hard. "It's my fault! I thought that as long as we put up two support pillars every three meters as you said, everything would be fine. I didn't know that the mining speed couldn't be too fast."
Qiao Yadong saw that Tao Nanfeng only needed to look into the dark hole to find the problem, so he didn't dare to have any luck and quickly admitted his mistake: "I am also wrong. I am the section chief, and I approved the workers to work overtime."
Tao Nanfeng glanced at the two of them, unable to bear to scold them any further, and raised his hand and said, "Give me two of your support beams."
Chen Zhilu and Qiao Yadong looked at each other, a hint of joy appeared on their faces, and they hurriedly asked the workers to carry out two thick logs.
Tao Nanfeng bent down, picked up one, and walked into the cave.
Xiangbei knew that he couldn't stop her, so he carried another thick log on his shoulder and followed her silently.
The two walked into the dark mine.
Chen Zhilu held a flashlight to help them illuminate the way, but the cave was deep and the light could not reach far, so soon the figures of the two people were lost in the darkness.
Qiao Yadong was terrified and shouted in a trembling voice: "Tao Nanfeng, Director Xiang, you two should be careful..."
The sounds outside the cave gradually faded away.
The ground in the cave was not flat, but Tao Nanfeng's night vision allowed her to walk forward steadily as if on flat ground. However, as she walked north, she took one deep step and one shallow step, trying hard to maintain her body shape.
Tao Nanfeng asked quietly: "Why did you follow me?"
Looking back to the north, the little light at the cave entrance seemed particularly precious. He carried a thick piece of wood on his left shoulder and freed his right hand to reach towards Tao Nanfeng.
After searching for a long time, I didn't find anything.
Seeing the frustration on his face, Tao Nanfeng couldn't help but chuckle and took the initiative to extend his left hand.
The two palms met in the darkness, Xiang Bei's heart skipped a beat and he held her tightly. The touch was soft, and when he squeezed it he could feel the tenderness and beauty of a woman. Xiangbei's heart was moved and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Although he couldn't see, Xiangbei felt like he was surrounded by flowers.
Xiangbei said: "Since you like to be a hero, I will naturally accompany you."
Tao Nanfeng actually heard a hint of grievance in his voice and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I know what's going on."
Xiangbei sighed and said, "Yes, yes, you are an expert in structural mechanics and good at digging holes. This mine is as familiar to you as your hometown."
Tao Nanfeng felt that his words did not sound like praise, but rather like heartache. He suddenly softened his heart and explained, "I really know whether the cave is safe or not. I only need to take a look to know."
What else can Xiangbei say? The girl he fell in love with was just so magical.
"Okay, since you said it's safe, I'll come in with you."
Tao Nanfeng thought of the last time the tunnel collapsed, and Xiangbei followed him in without hesitation. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and softened his voice: "Okay, you come with me, I'm very happy."
Xiangbei exerted a little force with his right hand and wrapped her small hand into his palm, as if only in this way could he protect her.
When we walked to the collapsed area, there were a lot of rubble under our feet.
Tao Nanfeng felt that Xiangbei's body was a little unstable, so he moved closer to him and held his arm: "Okay, just stand here."
She followed the green line in front of her and used the thick wood she brought in to support the top of the cave, reducing the red area a little.
Tao Nanfeng walked to Xiangbei again and took the wood off his shoulders.
Xiangbei could not see anything, but he smelled a faint sweet fragrance and heard shallow breathing sounds in his ears. Then his shoulders relaxed. It was obvious that Tao Nanfeng helped him take down the rough wood.
Countless thoughts surged in my mind, and Tao Nanfeng was present in every thought.
The fragrance on her body makes people feel dizzy and intoxicated.
Her breathing is so soft that it makes your legs go weak.
How come she is so strong? She could lift the wood with one hand, which was difficult for her to carry!
How can she be so cute? He has a strong sense of responsibility and always takes the lead in everything.
A faint rustling sound was heard in the pit. I wonder what Tao Nanfeng was busy with. After finally getting used to the darkness in the cave, Xiangbei could barely see that Tao Nanfeng had already placed two thick logs against the cave wall.
Her voice was relaxed and cheerful: "It's done."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiangbei took two steps forward and hugged her.
Finally, he held this adorable girl in his arms, and Xiangbei's rapidly beating heart slowly calmed down. If I keep jumping like this, I'm afraid my heart will jump out of my throat.
It seemed that only when he held her in his arms did Xiangbei feel less pain in his heart.
Only by holding her in my arms can I let her stop and truly enjoy a moment of relaxation and leisure.
Tao Nanfeng struggled slightly, but heard Xiang Bei's slightly hoarse voice: "Don't move." His body was a little hot, his cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes were full of love and pity.
Such strong emotions and such ardent love made Tao Nanfeng stand there in a daze, unable to move.
Darkness can amplify the desires in your heart.
There is no one else in this mine, and the one in my arms is the one I love. Xiangbei hugged Tao Nanfeng tightly and gently pressed his lips on her forehead.
Her skin was cool and smooth, and his lips were warm and trembling.
Tao Nanfeng's heartbeat gradually quickened and her cheeks became hotter and hotter. She held her breath and dared not move at all.
The mine was deep and damp, with a musty smell, but now the two of them were hugging each other, their breaths entwined with each other, exuding warmth and sweetness.
The lips gradually moved downwards, from the forehead to the nose, and then to the soft lips...
"Tao Nanfeng, are you okay?"
Chen Zhilu waited at the entrance of the cave for a long time. He became nervous and started shouting.
Tao Nanfeng stepped back in shame, pushed Xiangbei away, raised the back of his hand to cover his lips, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Alright!"
Xiangbei suddenly felt empty inside because there was no one in his arms.
He tried hard to control his surging emotions and asked quietly, "Is everything settled?"
Tao Nanfeng nodded: "Well, we added two more supports, so it's not a big problem at the moment."
She looked around again, bent down and made a few marks on the ground, then walked over to Xiangbei: "Let's go, it's okay."
The two walked out of the pit one after the other.
Qiao Yadong looked at Tao Nanfeng and Xiangbei who were slowly walking towards the light from darkness, and doubts arose in his heart.
They are clearly entering a dangerous area, so why do these two have smiles on their faces and spring in their eyes?
The more he looked, the more something seemed wrong. Qiao Yadong suddenly had a terrifying thought: Could it be that Tao Nanfeng likes Xiangbei? Aren't they in love?
No way!
Tao Nanfeng is a scholar and the daughter of a professor. She loves poetry, art and architecture. If she wants to fall in love, she should like someone with the same cultural background so that they can have a common language.
Who is Xiangbei? He joined the army right after graduating from junior high school. He had a low level of education, knew no literature or art, and only knew how to lead troops in battle. So what if he was a combat hero or a field commander? He is not worthy of Tao Nanfeng at all!
If Tao Nanfeng and Xiang Bei were in love, Qiao Yadong would be the first one to be dissatisfied.
He liked Tao Nanfeng so much, admired her and worshipped her. He came to the farm with her from Jiangcheng, ate, lived and worked together. The two had a common educational experience and a common family background. His mother also admired a self-reliant girl like Tao Nanfeng. He and Tao Nanfeng were the most suitable match.
Just give him a little more time. When he goes to college, he will confess his feelings, work hard for the future of both of you, and then the two of you will return to Jiangcheng together and build a warm home together.
He and Tao Nanfeng can talk about poetry, architecture, love and everything else. What does Xiang Bei have? What can he say to Tao Nanfeng?
Qiao Yadong's face was as gloomy as water. He walked in front of Tao Nanfeng and deliberately separated her from Xiang Bei. Only then did he feel a little better.
Chen Zhilu didn't know what was wrong with Qiao Yadong. Because of the mistake made by the mining department, Tao Nanfeng and Xiang Bei stepped into a dangerous area. Qiao Yadong even had a long face as if someone owed him money.
To make up for it, Chen Zhilu forced a big smile and said to Tao Nanfeng in a flattering tone: "Is it safe now? Thanks to you!"
Tao Nanfeng nodded: "You can go in and clean up the scene now. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Also, all the places I circled on the ground must be supported with hardwood, just in case."
Chen Zhilu raised his hand and poked Qiao Yadong, who was still daydreaming: "Chief Qiao, did you hear that?"
"Ah, ah!" Qiao Yadong opened his mouth and replied subconsciously, "I heard it, I heard it."
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Chen Zhilu: "What did you just say?"
Chen Zhilu stamped his feet and gritted his teeth, "What are you daydreaming about? Tao Nanfeng has already dealt with the mine. It's safe now. We can send people in to clean up the scene."
Qiao Yadong finally came to his senses and nodded, "Okay!"
He pointed out several workers at the scene and asked Chen Zhilu to take them in. When everything was arranged, he looked at Tao Nanfeng in a daze: "You, you know how to deal with the landslide accident after just one look. You are really capable."
Tao Nanfeng heard a hint of doubt in his tone and felt a little alert for some reason.
As she opened her mouth to speak, Xiang Bei was already standing beside her, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Qiao Yadong seriously.
"Chief Qiao, this is such a big incident. As the section chief, you cannot escape blame. Write a report and I will deduct two months' salary from you and Chen Zhilu. I will deal with you again when the three workers are stable."
When Qiao Yadong heard Xiang Bei's strong words, his desire to find out Tao Nanfeng's secret immediately gave up. He was now in a state of panic and had no time to worry about Tao Nanfeng.
He lowered his head, his shoulders slumped, and said sullenly, "Yes! It was indeed my fault for being too aggressive this time. Once Chen Zhilu and I have dealt with the situation, we will immediately go to the town to visit the injured workers and sincerely apologize. Just fine me, I will accept it!"
Xiangbei saw that he had calmed down, then he turned to Tao Nanfeng and said, "Let's go down the mountain to the town hospital."
