Chapter 485: Ah Sheng
Cheng Zhijin never thought that he would meet Xu Huaisheng so soon. When Song Yingxing called him out, he was completely confused and panicked for a while.
His fingers were shaking with nervousness. When Cheng Zhijin reacted, his eyes met Song Yingxing's.
Cheng Zhijin: "..."
He was not the only one who was nervous!!!
Just as he was about to leave, Chen Yuan grabbed his arm. He actually always respected lesbians, but some lesbians were really confused. No matter how much he said, she seemed to not understand. In addition, there was someone who would mess around, as if he would be guilty of a heinous crime if he did not meet their wishes.
After venting his dissatisfaction in one breath, Cheng Zhijin exhaled.
On the way, Song Yingxing wanted to talk to him several times, but he turned his eyes away. The closer he got to the Song family, the more his heart beat. He didn't have the energy to answer Song Yingxing's questions, and based on his understanding of Xu Huaisheng, Song Yingxing couldn't avoid this beating.
After arriving at the Song family, Cheng Zhijin's heart finally fell down. I think Xu Huaisheng should still have the same stinky face as before, otherwise the people of the Song family and Xu Nuo wouldn't shrink like quails.
When Xu Nuo saw him coming, he seemed to want to throw the hot potato on him very much. He hurriedly sent him into the house with Song Yingxing, and took the children in the house away.
Cheng Zhijin: "..."
What a coward! ! !
Of course, he didn't say this after he had said it in his mind, because when he saw Xu Huaisheng, his heart trembled.
After more than six years of experience, Xu Huaisheng had matured a lot. He was wearing a black woolen coat, with his hair covering his eyes, his eyebrows lowered, and his long legs crossed. After Xu Nuo pushed him into the house, he didn't even look up at him.
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken, he was a little impatient, frowned and raised his face. When they looked at each other, Cheng Zhijin's breathing stagnated.
Those affectionate eyes were deep and dark, as if they contained a vortex, which deeply attracted him.
Xu Huaisheng was a little anxious. He was very tired. He forced himself to buy a ticket and came here. He could only rest on the train. Finally, he arrived at the Song Yingxing production team, where Cheng Zhijin joined the team.
He had a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask, but after seeing him, he felt sad.
Cheng Zhijin's life was obviously not good in his eyes. Not only the clothes and shoes he wore, but he also lost a lot of weight. The eyes on his nose were almost unable to stay up. Xu Huaisheng didn't dare to think about what kind of life he had lived in the years since he left him.
He who used to be too lazy to wash his socks, didn't know how much he suffered when he couldn't see him.
Now he just stared at himself, standing like a wooden man. Xu Huaisheng touched the cigarette in his pocket. Thinking that this was Xu Nuo's house and there were children to sleep at night, he could only suppress his thoughts and put the cigarette back into his pocket.
He put his hand in the pocket of his coat and said hoarsely: "Why, don't you recognize me?"
Cheng Zhijin seemed to be burned by his words, and the whole person shuddered. In his mind were the scenes of the two people getting along, noisy and chaotic, and finally tangled into a greeting, "Long time no see", he couldn't open his mouth to say it.
After his lips trembled several times, he looked at Xu Huaisheng with a stiff face and said, "Xu...Xu Mi."
After many years, Xu Huaisheng finally heard his voice again, but his teeth were itching with hatred.
Oh, it was in vain that he had been training, growing, and climbing up all these years. Now he has enough ability to protect the people he wants to protect, but he calls him "Xu Mi" in a strange way.
What does this mean? Does he want to distance himself from him, or does he ask Xu Nuo to come to him this time just for some so-called important matter, not for himself.
Yes, if he was thinking about me, he wouldn't have not come to see me for so many years, and he wouldn't have even said a few words to me. In fact, he knew in his heart that Cheng Zhijin couldn't help but contact Cheng Weimin and Guan Wenxiu in Yangcheng, and even more so, he couldn't help but contact Cui Runsheng.
These people are very important to him, even if Hu Qiuchen might not receive his letter.
Only myself, only myself is the unimportant person.
"Secretary Xu, huh, I remember you called me Ah Sheng before."
Xu Huaisheng looked at Cheng Zhijin with a little sneer, and saw him tremble as expected, but his heart was even more sour.
He gritted his teeth, knowing that now was not the time to talk about this, anyway, the person was already in front of him, no matter what, he would not let this person go, otherwise, what was all his efforts, forbearance and struggle for so many years for?
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Cheng Zhijin lowered his head and pushed the frame of his glasses to hide the bitterness in his heart. He could see Xu Huaisheng's attitude towards him clearly. There was resentment, anger, sarcasm, and now a bit of official business.
But there was no such strong feeling as before. He could see it at a glance. The strong feeling for him was so strong that it was about to overflow.
Cheng Zhijin pursed his lips and thought that there was no rush. Since he had decided to look for him, he would take his time. He would be obedient and good, and would never leave him again.
"I... you know my teacher, he has never stopped his research in recent years. Before, he was protected by people sent by Mr. Hu. But I rarely received letters from my teacher in the past six months, and the research records were also interrupted. He is still missing the last bit of data. I think he has someone else by his side. He is not confident to hand over the things to anyone, so he wants me to go over. He wrote to me some time ago saying that he is not in good health and may not have many days left. I have to go and get the things and hand them over to the trustworthy people in Shangjing."
Thinking about the relationship between Xu Huaisheng and Mr. Hu, and the importance he attached to Teacher Cui's research before, Cheng Zhijin thought that after he said this, Xu Huaisheng would immediately prepare to go to Meng Province with him, but he looked calm, as if what he just said had nothing to do with him. This action made Cheng Zhijin feel uncomfortable.
"Why should I help you? What's the benefit to me?"
Cheng Zhijin couldn't help but frowned. He looked at Xu Huaisheng in disbelief. He actually asked what the benefit was. Didn't he know how important these data were?
Or after so many years, he has been corrupted by capital. This is what Cheng Zhijin fears the most, because he and Mr. Hu have emphasized this many times before.
He must not let Xu Huaisheng lose his principles and bottom line on the road to success.
"This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. How can you selfishly want benefits?"
Cheng Zhijin didn't know whether Xu Huaisheng said this casually or really wanted benefits, so he could only say this tentatively.
"Why can't I? Human nature is selfish. I was not selfish before. Some people ran faster than rabbits, running into the gullies and ravines, hiding in places where there was no place for ghosts, fearing that I could catch them."
Cheng Zhijin: "..."
Sure enough, he knew that he was holding back his anger and wanted to ridicule him! ! !
But think about it, it makes sense. I worked hard to serve my lover all night, and worked hard to deal with those who bullied me. After a hard day's work, I went home and saw that my lover had already picked up his pants and packed up his things and ran away without a trace.
After running for so many years, there was no news at all, and suddenly I looked for someone, and it was to call him.
The name that I hadn't called for a long time rolled on the tip of my tongue for a long time, and finally called it out.
"Ah Sheng!"
Chapter 487: I'm sorry
The voice that he had longed for for many years and dared not to remember even in his dreams at midnight was now calling his name so softly. Xu Huaisheng could no longer restrain himself and walked to Cheng Zhijin's side. He looked at the heartless and treacherous man with red eyes and felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
A flash of numbness passed through his body. He struggled to raise his trembling hands. His fingers trembled weakly and traced Cheng Zhijin's eyebrows, nose, lips, and jaw, and stopped at his throat. Finally, he attached himself to his neck and slowly tightened.
Cheng Zhijin couldn't help but tremble when Xu Huaisheng approached him. He felt like there was a mist in front of him and couldn't see Xu Huaisheng's face clearly.
A familiar breath came over him and his nervous breathing slowed down. He didn't know whether it was because of Xu Huaisheng's breath that made him unable to breathe or because of his tightening hands.
He only heard Xu Huaisheng gritting his teeth and saying with hatred: "Cheng Zhijin, you hid far enough."
Cheng Zhijin felt sad. His cheeks were wet and he finally cleared the mist and saw the face he had been thinking about day and night.
"Ah Sheng."
The two of them just stared at each other, neither of them opened their eyes first.
Just when Cheng Zhijin mustered up the courage to speak again, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Second brother, did you eat tonight..."
The words that Cheng Zhijin wanted to say were stuck in his throat. Xu Huaisheng frowned and turned to the stunned Xu Nuo and said, "Get out!"
"Okay!"
"Snap!"
The door opened and closed again!!!
After the atmosphere was destroyed, there was embarrassment in the air, and Cheng Zhijin's neck was still stuck in Xu Huaisheng's hand.
He swallowed his saliva, and when he was about to remind Xu Huaisheng to let go of him, who knew that the guy lowered his head and bit his neck directly.
"Ugh! ... It hurts."
Xu Huaisheng ignored him, only knowing that all his anger, hatred, longing, and anxiety over the years had been smoothed out when he saw this person and heard the word "Ah Sheng".
"You deserve it, you conscienceless thing."
Cheng Zhijin swallowed, then bit his mouth and held it back.
This is the Song family, and there are a bunch of people outside, old people, women and children. He really wanted to hold this person in his arms without any scruples and tell him about his longing for her over the years.
But no, now is not a good time. Xu Huaisheng also realized this. He retreated to his position, took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed his restlessness.
"Since you have decided to go to Mengdong in Meng Province, why don't you pack your things now and go out in a while?"
Cheng Zhijin was stunned for a moment. This change was so fast that he couldn't react. It's just...
"Now? So fast? I haven't prepared anything, and I'm an educated youth now. I can't leave casually. I have to write a letter of introduction and organize the things of the educated youth point. I..."
"Hehe, weren't you very anxious when you came to me? Now you are making excuses again. What's wrong? Is there someone you don't want to leave?"
Cheng Zhijin choked. I haven't seen this man for many years. His skill of choking people has improved a lot.
"There is no one I can't bear to leave. I only miss you. I'll pack my things now and ask the village chief to write a letter of introduction. I'll leave now."
When Cheng Zhijin said this, his eyes never left Xu Huaisheng. Seeing his eyes move slightly and a smile flashed across his face because of his words, he felt as happy as if honey was smeared on his heart.
Chapter 488: What is your identity?
Suddenly being teased, Xu Huaisheng's heart jumped. But when he recalled the information his friend had found out before, it said that Cheng Zhijin had been entangled with a female educated youth in the Red Star Production Team. When he first heard about this, he was so angry that he almost fell over.
When he left her, it was so that when they met again, he would be so strong that he could do nothing to anyone. But when she finally knew about him, she heard about him and a woman, which made Xu Huaisheng unacceptable.
If Li Ming hadn't persuaded him, he would have almost come over overnight last night and knocked Cheng Zhijin's leg off.
Thinking of this, Xu Huaisheng looked at Cheng Zhijin a little unpleasantly, his face sank, and he retreated to his seat.
Cheng Zhijin didn't stay excited for long, because Xu Huaisheng's expression returned to the indifference when he first met him, as if that smile was an illusion.
Cheng Zhijin curled his lips, thinking that Xu Huaisheng was pretending.
Both of them were silent for a long time, Xu Huaisheng tutted his tongue twice, looked at Cheng Zhijin and said: "What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to treat you?"
Cheng Zhijin pursed his lips and glanced at Xu Huaisheng's tough look.
"Let's go now. I'll listen to you. From now on, whatever you say is what it's all about. Okay? By the way, your sister's marriage is not her fault. She has changed a lot in the past few years and has become much more sensible. I'll keep an eye on her for you!"
Xu Huaisheng squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Keep an eye on her for me. What's your identity?"
"I'm not you...what?"
Xu Huaisheng's eyebrows jumped. He felt familiar with Cheng Zhijin now. Only he could say something so outspoken that made people laugh.
He repeatedly recalled the memories and feelings before. It seemed that there might be a misunderstanding between him and that woman. Xu Huaisheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his friend had not checked in detail.
"Let's go, go out first. You don't need to worry about Xu Nuo, and you don't need to say anything more. Cui Runsheng's experimental data is useful to us, but it is not clear how much use it can play. I took the risk to go with you, I hope you won't let me down."
Xu Huaisheng didn't want to forgive him so easily. He said with a cold face and opened the bedroom door. Maybe Cheng Zhijin was too familiar with him, and he could hear tolerance and joy from his words. He didn't dare to express his feelings, but just followed Xu Huaisheng quietly.
After explaining the situation to Xu Nuo, Cheng Zhijin went back to the educated youth point first. Xu Huaisheng said that everything would be handed over to him, so there was nothing to worry about. Looking at the car and the driver at the door, I think his status is not low now.
When Cheng Zhijin returned to the educated youth center, Chen Yuan stood at the gate of the yard with an anxious look on her face. He ignored her and walked past. Perhaps because he had said something harsh before, Chen Yuan did not dare to say too much when she saw him coming back. She watched him quietly as he entered the dormitory for male educated youth.
There were not many things to pack in the room, most of which were bought by him later. He took the bag he brought from the countryside, took his favorite books and clothes, looked at the corner of the wall, turned around and walked out with the bag.
Chen Yuan was absent-mindedly listening to Xia Wanrou's words in the dormitory. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door closing outside, and her whole body was shocked. Then she saw Cheng Zhijin carrying the bag and walking out of the educated youth center. Her heart sank, and she hurriedly chased after him.
"Cheng Zhijin, where are you going? You are not allowed to leave."
The shouting behind him did not stop him for even a moment. He walked very fast, wanting to quickly get rid of Chen Yuan. He even felt a little guilty, afraid that Xu Huaisheng would think too much and get angry if he saw him.
When Cheng Zhijin arrived at the door of the Song family, he saw the man in a black woolen coat, holding a cigarette in one hand and gently pushing Xu Nuo with the other hand. The man's eyebrows were impatient and he looked at his sister with a little disdain.
He felt itchy in his heart, wondering when Xu Huaisheng would look at him like this again.
Xiao Li took the bag from Cheng Zhijin's hand, glanced at the woman following him, opened his mouth but said nothing, turned around and put the things on the passenger seat.
Xu Huaisheng was bidding farewell to Xu Nuo, and he felt a little tenderness for his sister. However, when he saw Cheng Zhijin and the woman behind him, his face suddenly darkened, and he sneered at Cheng Zhijin.
"What? Mr. Cheng needs a beautiful woman to accompany him when he is traveling far away?"
Cheng Zhijin heard the indifference and sarcasm in his words. District Chief Feng, whom Xu Huaisheng was following, wanted to be promoted, and he needed achievements. The phone call he asked Xu Nuo to make just happened to be put on the gun. Now it was a win-win situation. Xu Huaisheng's attitude clearly showed that he was not going to forgive him easily.
Xu Huaisheng was already angry, and now Chen Yuan came to make trouble again, which was simply making things worse for him who was already in a bad situation.
"Chen Zhiqing, stop following me. I have said everything I need to say. You are really not afraid of boiling water. You are really disgusting."
Chen Yuan's face turned pale. She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Xu Nuo, then pointed at Cheng Zhijin, and looked at everyone present fiercely.
"Why do you want to leave? What should I do if you leave? Is it Xu Nuo? Is she the one who instigated you? I know, I know, I know that you have come to their house again and again, there must be something wrong. Xu Nuo, you are a jerk. You have a man, but you still miss others. You are a jerk, a jerk."
Cheng Zhijin looked at his crazy look and subconsciously glanced at Xu Huaisheng. Sure enough, the man's face was frighteningly cold.
Just when he thought Xu Huaisheng was going to strangle Chen Yuan, Xu Nuo took two quick steps and slapped her.
"Have you scolded enough, crazy woman? What will you do when he leaves? I tell you, it's useless. No one wants to pay attention to you. Are you sick? You have to cling to others and won't let go. You are a jerk. Your whole family is a jerk."
Cheng Zhijin looked at Xu Nuo like a little leopard, and Chen Yuan was speechless.
As soon as Xu Nuo finished speaking, Song Yingxing went up and jeered again.
Cheng Zhijin didn't know what his behavior was that made Chen Yuan think that he was a bully. Even after being said like this, she could still look at him with a wronged face. He admired this woman a little.
"Chen Zhiqing, I have something very important to do, but don't worry, when I come back, I will go to the Public Security Bureau to report the case in person. Even if you tell everyone in the Zhiqing point that I am dating you, it will be useless. I have never said anything specious to you from beginning to end, not even a few words. I don't know if you are sleepwalking. I don't believe that there are not one or two people who testify for me. The innocent are innocent, and the tainted are tainted. If you insist on insulting my reputation, I will not wait and let the situation happen. Just wait!" After Cheng Zhijin finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xu Huaisheng, as if to prove his innocence in front of him, but unfortunately Xu Huaisheng just sneered and got on the car.
Cheng Zhijin walked to the side of the car, watched the co-driver pick up his bag, looked up at Li Ming who was watching secretly as if nothing had happened, and went to the back very sensibly, opened the door and got in the car.
In the narrow car, the two people could touch each other if they moved a little, and the breath between them made them both silent for a moment. Li Ming in the front pretended to be dead and held his breath, fearing that the two people in the back seat would notice him.
Cheng Zhijin pursed his lips, stiffened his neck and said, "Where are we going first?"
Xu Huaisheng ignored him and closed his eyes lightly.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Li Ming's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
I don't know who knew the address and rushed over without stopping. I don't know who prepared everything needed in advance, and I don't know who arranged the route and safety to Meng Province. Now he pretends to be cool. If he has the ability, he will keep pretending.
The boss is not up to the task. He can only say with a stiff face: "Don't worry, Cheng Zhiqing, we will go to the provincial capital first. After arriving in the provincial capital, we will stay for one night. Tomorrow afternoon, we will set off for Meng Province. Secretary Xu has already arranged it, so you don't have to worry."
"Don't talk too much."
Li Ming laughed awkwardly twice, turned around and drove the car attentively.
Cheng Zhijin glanced at Xu Huaisheng, who still had his eyes closed. There were still some dark circles under his eyes. He must have been very tired. He came all the way from Beijing to the Red Star Production Team without stopping. Time was tight and many things had been arranged. It must have taken a lot of energy to go to such a long distance to Meng Province.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ah Sheng!"
"How can you compare with Cheng Zhiqing? You are leaving now and you have hurt the heart of a female comrade. I am afraid you have not been idle these years!"
Cheng Zhijin: "......."
Li Ming was embarrassed. Boss, you are not good at coaxing people. Can you shut up first!!!
Chapter 489: Self-conceit
When Cheng Zhijin woke up, the car had already stopped. Li Ming didn't know where he went. There were only him and Xu Huaisheng in the car. He moved his stiff neck,
"Have we arrived at the provincial capital? Where did Li Ming go?"
"Heh, he slept on my shoulder for so long, and as soon as he woke up, he thought about looking for someone else!"
Cheng Zhijin: "..."
He watched Xu Huaisheng move his shoulders, and then he realized that he seemed to have fallen asleep after leaving the county. Did he sleep on his shoulder all the way?
"Are you tired? Do you want me to massage you? I'm pretty good at it."
Xu Huaisheng paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about. He glared at him with a bad look on his face, snorted coldly and said, "You'd better wipe your saliva first. I haven't seen you for so many years, and I don't know how you developed a drooling habit. Is it because life is hard and you haven't eaten meat for a long time, so you're greedy?"
Cheng Zhijin: "..."
He wiped the corner of his mouth, which was dry, without any trace of saliva, and he reasonably suspected that Xu Huaisheng was talking nonsense.
Without waiting for Cheng Zhijin to speak, Xu Huaisheng opened the car door and got out of the car. Li Ming, who had been waiting on the side, came over with two keys.
"Secretary Xu, here's the room key for the guesthouse. Cheng Zhiqing's room is also unlocked. I just bought some food and put it in your room. You can eat together. I'll go back to rest after parking the car."
Xu Huaisheng looked up at him without saying anything and nodded at him.
After getting off the car, Cheng Zhijin followed Xu Huaisheng upstairs.
"Li Ming bought food in the room. Eat and rest early."
This is a rare warm word from him since he met him. Cheng Zhijin pursed his lips and thought about how to rest with Xu Huaisheng in the evening.
For so many years, he could only be so close to this person in his dreams. Finally, he met him in person. Most of the things he talked about were business matters. Neither of them mentioned the feelings between them or their separation. Even if Cheng Zhijin wanted to talk about it, he didn't know where to start.
He was also afraid that bringing up the past would make the current situation between them disappear.
But now it's different. He is going to sleep with Xu Huaisheng at night. What if there is only one bed in the room?
I heard that the beds in the guesthouse are very small. Will Xu Huaisheng's embrace still be the same as before?
He thought about it randomly until Xu Huaisheng opened the door. He felt lost for a moment when he walked in. There was only one bed, and it was not big. Maybe two people would fall off in the middle of the night.
He looked up at Xu Huaisheng, and Mo De felt that it was good again. The bed was small, so he could get closer to this person, and maybe he could even nestle in his arms and listen to his heartbeat. The more he thought about it, the faster Cheng Zhijin's heartbeat became, and his face turned red.
"Are you hot? Still sleepy?"
Xu Huaisheng looked at Cheng Zhijin in confusion. He blushed as soon as he entered the room, and his eyes kept staring at the bed, looking very lewd.
"Ah? No, not hot, not hot!"
Cheng Zhijin lowered his head, afraid that he would see what he was thinking and think he was impatient.
Xu Huaisheng sighed as he watched him being cautious. He walked to the table and opened several aluminum lunch boxes. These were all dishes that Cheng Zhijin had liked to eat before. He had mentioned them to Li Ming, so the boy was very sensible.
"Go wash your hands, eat first, and rest early after eating. We have to hurry tomorrow."
He didn't dare to say that he didn't know if he could hold on to Meng Province because of his thin arms and legs. Cheng Zhijin was always strong. He wondered if he could wait until Meng Province to put Cheng Zhijin in a safe place and then go to see Teacher Cui himself.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Cheng Zhijin felt sweet in his heart. He felt that the dishes he liked were all given by Xu Huaisheng to Li Ming. Otherwise, how could he know. Sure enough, no matter how hard he said, he still remembered his preferences in his heart.
He washed his hands happily, and when he saw two bathrobes hanging in the bathroom, he couldn't help blushing, and thought of many inappropriate scenes in his mind.
The two of them had their own thoughts while eating.
After finishing the meal, Xu Huaisheng simply packed up his things and put the key in his pocket on the table.
"This is the key to your room, go to bed early tonight."
After saying that, he went straight to the bathroom, took a simple shower, and walked out in a bathrobe.
He paused in the action of drying his hair, Cheng Zhijin took off his coat, and sat quietly on his bed. His slightly long bangs just covered his eyebrows and eyes. When he noticed that he was approaching, his eyes dodged for a moment.
"Do you want to sleep?"
"???"
What does this mean? What do you mean by do you want to sleep? Didn't I just give him the key? He hasn't returned to his room yet. Does he want to sleep with me? ? ?
"Uh... I, I need to rest, but your room is next door. Didn't I just give you the key?"
Cheng Zhijin was stunned for a moment, looking at Xu Huaisheng in a daze.
So the "your key" just now did not refer to the key of this room, but the key of the next room. I was mistaken, thinking that he gave me the key to sleep with me at night.
In fact, he gave me the key to let me leave quickly after eating, and not to leave it in the way?
Cheng Zhijin thought a lot and stood up in an instant. He picked up the key on the table with an ugly face, glanced at Xu Huaisheng, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Xu Huaisheng: "..."
He's still angry!!!
Cheng Zhijin returned to the room, threw himself on the bed, and sat up again. The bed was not very soft. The hit just now made his whole back tense.
He roared for a while, but still resigned himself to his fate and took the change of clothes into the bathroom. After so many years in the Red Star Production Team, the only thing he couldn't accept was taking a bath.
In winter, he took a bath almost once a week or two weeks, and he was often ridiculed for this. It was really because of the shortage of various resources. Even for taking a bath, he had to fetch enough water several times.
Not to mention the summer, the environment will affect him after a long time. He also jumped into the river several times with the villagers, and a group of people took a bath in the river. However, he heard that someone secretly urinated in the river, so he never went there again.
He scrubbed his body vigorously, and the place on his neck where Xu Huaisheng bit him was burned by the hot water, and it was faintly painful.
What made him even more embarrassed was that there was a lot of mud on his body. Cheng Zhijin couldn't help but wonder if Xu Huaisheng felt the fragrance of the mud between his lips and teeth when he bit him.
Thinking of this, he scrubbed his body with more strength. He washed back and forth three times, and washed all the clothes under his body and hung them on the windowsill. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He slept particularly sweetly that night. Although it was a sense of security like a wall, it was also given to him by Xu Huaisheng.
When Cheng Zhijin woke up the next morning, he recovered. The unhappiness in his heart last night was quickly digested after a good night's sleep.
Before he set out, he ran to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative to buy a small bottle of floral water. Fortunately, it was in the provincial capital, otherwise it would definitely be difficult to buy.
It would take several days to go to Meng Province. He thought that he had enough time and would have to sleep in the open air along the way. Many times it would promote feelings. If he washed himself clean and had a little fragrance, Xu Huaisheng would definitely attack him?
This bottle of floral water is a precaution.
He still had a box of soothing medicine in his bag that he brought from Beijing more than six years ago. He wondered if it was expired and whether it could still be used.
It was not that he could not prepare it himself, but Xu Huaisheng came so suddenly that he had not thought about it yet.
Cheng Zhijin felt so sorry. He looked at the floral water and suddenly felt that it was a piece of chicken ribs. Nothing was as practical as the ointment. That was when the real guns and live bullets came. The necessary products were needed. What was the use of just smelling good on the body.
He looked up at the weather, touched his money from his pocket, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative again to buy some of the materials that could be bought.
When he returned to the guesthouse, he saw Xu Huaisheng looking around at the door with an anxious face. He thought to himself, it's bad.
As expected, as soon as he walked over, he saw the man coming over with a fierce look, holding his shoulders tightly with both hands.
"Where did you go? You are nowhere to be seen so early in the morning. If I hadn't just seen you, would you have disappeared without a word again?"
Cheng Zhijin was startled by the scolding, and looking at the uneasy expression on Xu Huaisheng's face, his heart ached.
"No, I will never leave without saying anything again. I just got up early and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. You see, I really just bought some things. I also want to go to the consignment store to see if there are any Chinese medicinal materials or something. Don't be afraid!"
Xu Huaisheng looked at the things in his cloth bag and stared at Cheng Zhijin tightly. It took a while for him to calm down.
"Don't forget that you begged me to come all the way here. We have some common goals and interests. If you disappear without saying hello next time, I will re-evaluate your value."
Cheng Zhijin ignored the sudden change in indifference in his words, looked into his eyes and whispered: "Asheng, were you going to cry just now?"
Xu Huaisheng: "..."
Your mouth is really annoying, as annoying as before!!! !
Chapter 419: He's living a good life
Xu Huaisheng didn't want to talk to Cheng Zhijin anymore. He didn't want to talk to him all day. He snorted coldly and turned back to the room. There were not many things to pack. Li Ming had already helped the two of them to pack. They bought breakfast and ate in the room as usual.
Cheng Zhijin didn't dare to say anything, for fear of offending Xu Huaisheng.
The car they drove was borrowed from someone else. The person who came was Xu Huaisheng's friend, who was waiting at the train station.
Xu Huaisheng glanced at the watch on his wrist. There was still time. He looked at Cheng Zhijin who had been frowning and not talking.
"Do you want to buy anything? If you want to buy something, let Li Ming take you there. We'll go to the train station later, and the car will be returned to someone else."
Cheng Zhijin raised his head and glanced at Xu Huaisheng, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he nodded with a smile, explaining to himself.
"It will take several days to get to Meng Province. I heard from the teacher that the temperature difference there is very large. I thought I should prepare some commonly used medicines. I will go to the hospital later and then go to the consignment store to see. Is there anything that Ah Sheng wants to buy?"
Xu Huaisheng touched his waist bag.
"......"
Awkward, awkwardness spread in his heart. In order to support Xu Nuo, he spent a lot of money on buying things. He gave her money when he left. He only had about 30 yuan in his pocket. He didn't know if it was enough.
In recent years, most of his salary was used to support the families of his brothers who died. The remaining part had nowhere to spend, so he either bought cigarettes or saved it.
He never thought that he would worry about money one day.
"Oh, I don't have anything to buy. Do you have enough money?" If not, I don't have any money to give you.
"A Sheng, are you going to give me money? I have some. I heard from Li Ming that you don't have much money. You spent a lot on your sister, and most of the money was given to your colleagues' families. Don't worry, I have money, enough for both of us."
Xu Huaisheng: "......."
Li Ming's big mouth will be sewn up sooner or later!!!
Cheng Zhijin lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly. His family still had some ancestral property in Shangjing. It was his grandfather who gave it to him before he left, and his parents told him when they went to Guangzhou.
When he returns to Beijing and has a stable job, if he lives with Xu Huaisheng, he should have enough money to spend. They won't have to raise children in the future, which is one less expense. Xu Huaisheng can spend his salary however he wants, and he won't interfere. As long as they are together in the future, that's fine.
The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. He packed up the things on the table, turned around and went out. He and Li Ming walked around outside before coming back. He got some medicine from the hospital. Most of the things were bought at the consignment store. He even bought a ginseng.
If the essence of this thing is extracted to make ointment, it will be a rare and fine product.
These things cannot be told to others, because he is afraid that Xu Huaisheng will ridicule him.
The train to Meng Province was at 2 o'clock. Xu Huaisheng asked someone to buy a ticket for a private room. It was very difficult to buy a ticket for a private room these days. If it weren't for his special status, he wouldn't be able to buy one.
As soon as he entered the private room, Li Ming started to pretend to be dead. He crawled up and lay down to sleep.
Cheng Zhijin glanced at Xu Huaisheng and blushed a little. He felt that Li Ming's various behaviors showed that he knew about his previous relationship with Xu Huaisheng. When Xu Huaisheng was greeting his friends, he walked up to him and talked with flattery, and his words revealed that Xu Huaisheng had not had a good life in recent years. The look of him wanting to do something was really a bit deliberate.
But Cheng Zhijin could see that Li Ming felt sorry for Xu Huaisheng. Even an outsider could feel sorry for him, not to mention himself. He had not lived well in the past few years, and Xu Huaisheng would only be worse off. He looked at Xu Huaisheng leaning against the window, took out an apple from his bag and walked out.
Xu Huaisheng saw his action but did not say anything, and rubbed his fingers on the pages of the book.
"Secretary Xu, Cheng Zhiqing has gone out. Don't you want to go and see him? Although he is on the train, it is not very safe. He is so innocent. What if there is a kidnapper on the train?"
Xu Huaisheng frowned and looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Why? Now I am not sleepy anymore. If you are worried, why don't you go and see him."
Li Ming smiled awkwardly and stretched his head to look at the door of the carriage.
"No, no, I just said that. Cheng Zhijin can live alone in the countryside for such a long time and live so well. He must have his own outstanding qualities. Hehehehe, why should I worry, right!"
"Is he living well?"
Li Ming's embarrassed smile has not been retracted yet, and he saw Xu Huaisheng's face change, and he immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.
"Uh..."
Xu Huaisheng didn't intend to let it go. He had lived alone in Beijing for so long, and he always had insomnia at night because he missed people. Now that people saw him, he was still angry and was still thinking about how to let Cheng Zhijin comfort him. As a result, the assistant betrayed him and spoke for that person between the lines.
How could he not be upset! ! !
"Tell me more about how he is doing well."
Li Ming forced a stiff smile on his face, licked his lips and said, "Not really. I heard that when Cheng Zhiqing first went to the countryside, he didn't know how to do anything. He cut a lot of wheat seedlings planted in the village as leeks and was scolded by the village chief. He almost dropped the bucket into the well when fetching water. He also complained that the food cooked by the educated youth next to him was not delicious, so he wanted to cook it himself and almost set the kitchen on fire. There are countless such things, but later the villagers I helped him get better gradually. I think he suffered a lot. I said Cheng Zhiqing lived a good life because he was willing to spend money when he bought things today. He didn't even blink when he bought things. Secretary Xu, I think those things are prepared for you. He must be helping you cut fruits now. "
Li Ming was very sure. Cheng Zhiqing's bag was filled with a lot of things, and he had a lot of food. He was so hungry just looking at it. Secretary Xu was really blessed.
Xu Huaisheng listened to Li Ming's words, and couldn't help but imagine the scenes of Cheng Zhijin working in his mind. He frowned after thinking for a while, and then sighed. Cheng Zhijin used to be very lazy, and he even asked me to help him put on clothes, not to mention working in the fields and carrying water. He was so thin, was there no one to help him?
But he still had the nerve to complain that other people's cooking was not delicious, so he deserved it, so he could eat his ass!
But if he really cut fruit for me, then it's not impossible to forgive him a little. Thinking of this, he looked at the door of the carriage with a little expectation.
After a while, Cheng Zhijin came back. He had a lunch box with apples cut into small pieces. He put the lunch box on the dining table, found a book and started reading, then ate it in small bites.
Xu Huaisheng swallowed his saliva, not because he wanted to eat, but because he was angry at Cheng Zhijin's look.
He didn't turn the page of the book in his hand for a long time. He looked up at Li Ming who was peeking, glared at him fiercely, closed the book with a "snap", opened the quilt and lay down.
Li Ming: "......."
No, Cheng Zhiqing, why don't you play by the rules! ! !
He shrank his neck, thinking why he didn't buy a ticket for an ordinary carriage, even though there were all kinds of people, even though there were chickens, ducks, geese and sheep, even though the smell was bad, even though his butt might be stiff.
But at least the atmosphere was more relaxed, much better than being a light bulb here.
Cheng Zhijin paused with the hand holding the apple, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He bit the apple with a crunching sound, and read the book happily. He felt that this afternoon passed very quickly.
After getting tired of watching, he lifted the quilt to rest. Before lying down, he took off his coat and wore a white loose shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows. The collar had three buttons unbuttoned, exposing his collarbone. He very deliberately covered the quilt to his waist and abdomen. He glanced at Xu Huaisheng's back, raised his eyebrows, and closed his eyes with satisfaction.
