Zhang Weifang sat quietly in the small boat. As the boat swayed gently, her eyes were fixed on the water, watching the ripples created by the oars, which continued to spread and then slowly disappeared.
These waves resonated deeply in her heart, as if each ripple was a reflection of her emotions.
At this moment, the ripples in her heart grew bigger and bigger, like a surging tide, gradually drowning her thoughts.
She recalled every little detail of the past, and those beautiful and unforgettable memories came to her mind.
The warm times spent with her family, the happy years spent with friends, and those moments that made her heart beat fast...all of these flashed before her eyes like a movie.
However, as time goes by, various changes and challenges in life come one after another.
Some people left her life, and some dreams seemed to become out of reach. These losses and regrets left a deep mark in her heart, making the ripples in her heart more and more agitated.
Looking at the lake in front of him, Zhang Weifang felt that he was so insignificant, while the waves of fate were so huge.
But at the same time, she also realized that life is like this lake, full of ups and downs and changes.
Whether it is joy or pain, it is part of growth and an indispensable experience in the journey of life.
In this quiet moment, Zhang Weifang decided not to avoid the fluctuations in her heart, but to face them calmly.
She believed that as long as she kept moving forward, one day she would be able to ride the storms of fate and find her own peaceful harbor.
So, she took a deep breath, gripped the steering wheel with her hands, and pedaled hard, paddling forward.
After returning home in the afternoon, Zhang Weifang gave Hu Zi a bath and then went to the kitchen to cook. She cut the vegetables and kneaded the noodles familiarly. In less than an hour, the delicious noodles were out of the pot.
Zhang Weifang first scooped a bowl of noodles for Hu Zi and let him eat in the yard. Then he scooped a second bowl, filled it with toppings and side dishes, and then delivered the meal to Lu Shi's house.
Now Zhang Weifang has become accustomed to delivering meals to Lu Shi every day and checking on the recovery of his shoulder. In addition, Lu Shi helped to take care of Hu Zi before, so the relationship between the two has gradually become friendly.
Lu Shi finished the noodles in a few mouthfuls as usual. Zhang Weifang couldn't help but complain:
"Can't you eat slower? No one will snatch it from you."
"I'm used to it." When he was in prison, meal times were limited, so Lu Shi developed the habit of eating voraciously.
"You need to change. Eating too fast is bad for your stomach."
"Well, are you not happy going out today?" Lu Shi saw that Zhang Weifang looked unhappy today, so he asked.
"I'm very happy. I took Hu Zi to go boating."
Lu Shi then asked another question:
"Did you meet anyone you know while boating today?"
Zhang Weifang's eyes widened, and she looked at him in disbelief, blurting out uncontrollably, "How did you know?"
Her voice became a little sharp because of surprise, as if it would pierce the air around her.
Lu Shi still had that indifferent expression, and his words were just as cold:
"You look unhappy, so something must have happened. You happened to be going to the park today, so the probability of running into someone you know is the highest. If it were a stranger, you wouldn't be so worried."
After hearing what Lu Shi said, Zhang Weifang sat down on the stool next to him:
"Is the expression on my face obvious?"
"Yes, even a fool can see it." Lu Shi deliberately adjusted the atmosphere.
Zhang Weifang glared at him angrily:
"You're the fool!"
Zhang Weifang was originally a shallow person and could not hide anything in her heart. Since Lu Shi had seen through it, she just gave up and told him what happened during the day.
"Lu Shi, I just feel uncomfortable. I didn't expect Xiao Hu to contact Yin Bin behind my back." When Zhang Weifang said this, there was a hint of loss in her tone.
In her eyes, Xiao Hu was her friend and the two had always had a good relationship. It was difficult for Zhang Weifang to accept this kind of "betrayal" and "concealment" for a while.
Lu Shi looked at Zhang Weifang who looked depressed, and didn't know whether he should comfort her. Her personality was black and white. In fact, when adults get along with each other, they are all based on interests and it is impossible to rely on feelings alone.
In his eyes, what Xiao Hu did was indeed not decent and upright. However, on the other hand, why did Xiao Hu's relationship with her get better and better and why did he take good care of her? Wasn't it because he took advantage of Zhang Weifang?
There is no free lunch in the world, and no one can make friends with you for no reason.
Besides, even if Zhang Weifang was not there, as long as the benefits were big enough, Xiao Hu and Secretary Yin would be able to establish a relationship.
From their conversation, we know that Secretary Yin accepted a lot of money from Xiao Hu, and the transaction between them was normal.
Zhang Weifang is just the starting point of the intersection between the two people. How well they can get along depends on their individual abilities.
Zhang Weifang has always been very simple, so when she encountered this kind of thing, she thought it was no big deal intellectually, but she couldn't accept it emotionally.
Lu Shi is different. He started working in the black market when he was a teenager and later went to jail. He has long seen through this weakness of human nature.
Lu Shi looked at Zhang Weifang's lost look, sighed in his heart, and decided to persuade her.
"We're all adults now. Since you feel Xiao Hu's behavior is inappropriate and makes you uncomfortable, then stay away from her in the future. You two are not the same kind of people."
"Okay, I understand. I think so too." Zhang Weifang immediately became happy after hearing Lu Shi's words.
Lu Shi's words made Zhang Weifang realize that it was not her fault, it was just that the two of them had different ideas. Then she would stay away from Xiao Hu in the future and would not have any psychological burden.
Zhang Weifang happily left with the empty bowl. Lu Shi looked at her from behind and smiled, but he didn't say anything. He was thinking:
"Zhang Weifang is indeed a simple person. He immediately became happy after being persuaded."
In fact, if this happened to Lu Shi, he would not only not feel troubled, but would be secretly happy.
After all, the personal connections Xiao Hu has are also a great help to him. In this way, both sides can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results and get what they need.
Such an opportunity is rare, and I believe no smart person will miss it easily.
Lu Shi is naturally no exception. He will definitely seize this opportunity, give full play to his own advantages, and work hand in hand with Xiao Hu for mutual benefit.
However, since Zhang Weifang cannot accept this kind of thing, he will respect her ideas, because she is a simple person and has no ambitions.
