Liu Chunjiang looked at him blankly, he never thought that Yan Qiuping, who was beautiful on the outside, would have such a personal life.

The remnant sun in the sky gradually faded, the night gradually covered the earth, it was already late, Liu Chunjiang was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he helped her slowly start to walk back.

Yan Qiuping wiped the tears on her face as she walked. On the way, neither of them spoke.

When the two of them returned to the compound of the guest house, Liu Chunjiang saw that the security personnel of the public security department of the cement factory were standing outside the gate and watching them from a distance.

went up to the second floor, Liu Chunjiang sent Yan Qiuping to her dormitory, poured her a cup of hot water, and comforted her a few words.

Yan Qiuping looked at Liu Chunjiang, at this time, her mood had stabilized a little, she looked at him with miserable eyes, sighed, and said:

"It's not too early, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow, so you can go back and rest." Liu Chunjiang was also afraid of causing pain in her heart again, so he stood up and said to her:

"Then you can rest too. Good night. ”

"Good night," Yan Qiuping stared at Liu Chunjiang, and finally said again, "Chunjiang, thank you for going out for a walk with me." ”

Liu Chunjiang's footsteps stopped slightly, and finally returned to his room.

Lying on the bed, I don't know why, Liu Chunjiang couldn't sleep for a long time, he tossed and turned, and his mind echoed for a long time the words that Yan Qiuping said to him outside just now, for a while, Yan Qiuping's sad eyes appeared in his mind, and for a while, Xue Kemei's longing and expectant eyes appeared, and his heart was like numbness.

Seeing that it was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night, he still couldn't sleep, and finally, he suddenly remembered that he had the sleeping pills prescribed from the hospital yesterday in his pocket, so he got up and took a few pills, collapsed on the bed, and then fell asleep in a daze.

How did Liu Chunjiang know that this night, there were two people who tossed and turned like him, and couldn't sleep late at night. These two people, one is Xue Kemei, and the other is Yan Qiuping.

Yan Qiuping's current family, as she herself said, has long existed in name only.

Back then, because Liu Chunjiang did not stay in the provincial capital after graduating from university, Yan Qiuping's mother was afraid that they would live separately in the future and life would be inconvenient, so she resolutely opposed them to continue to fall in love, and asked Yan Qiuping and Liu Chunjiang to break up.

At that time, her daughter said nothing, there was no way, and in the end, Yan Qiuping's mother took a lot of sleeping pills one day and almost died in the hospital, which made Yan Qiuping ruthless and broke up with Liu Chunjiang.

After that, Yan's mother found her daughter a teacher Yang Yining, who seemed to have a good family condition at that time, and stayed in the provincial university as a teaching assistant after graduating from college.

Later, with the help of Yan Qiuping's parents, Yang Yining left school and was transferred to the provincial government. In the past few years, after several years of hard work, he has now been promoted, and is currently serving as the director of a division under the Provincial Economic Commission.

Actually, this Yang Yining didn't like Yan Qiuping so much at first, and later, after he became the director, slowly, Yang Yining had a love affair with a young woman with a larger family background in their department and hooked up together.

Slowly, Yang Yining went home less and less, and once, the two of them had a big fight, and in the end, this Yang Yining simply didn't even go home.

In this way, the relationship between Yan Qiuping and Yang Yining has gradually developed into a nominal existence as she described.

Later, Yang Yining proposed to divorce many times, but Yan Qiuping just didn't agree, she still wanted to try her best to save this family that had already existed in name. Until now, the two of them have been working like this.

Moreover, what makes Yan Qiuping even more sad is that from marriage to the present, they have not had a child.

Therefore, when Yan Qiuping saw Liu Chunjiang, she confided in him the pain in her heart now.

Besides, Xue Kemei, that night, when she learned that Yan Qiuping took Liu Chunjiang and went out for a walk, she had some guesses in her heart.

A woman's heart is connected. Through the time when they were playing poker together last night, Xue Kemei keenly felt that the Yan Qiuping in front of her, her feelings for Liu Chunjiang in the past, have not been extinguished.

Xue Kemei was not surprised by this, nor did she have the slightest hint of jealousy, because she fully understood the situation Liu Chunjiang was facing now, no matter what, Liu Chunjiang still had his own life trajectory after all.

In his current situation, no matter how much he loved him in the past and how he loves him now, so that he will still love him in the future, but after all, he is a person who has a family, and if he pulls a child, why should he possess his emotions?

Although she knew that Liu Chunjiang also loved her deeply from the bottom of her heart. However, love and marriage are two different things after all, and Liu Chunjiang always has to return to rationality and face reality in the end.

After thinking about it, in the end, Xue Kemei painfully decided that she should still think about his future, she couldn't go on like this, she wanted to control her feelings and bury it deep in her heart.

The next morning, several of them accompanied Yan Qiuping to have breakfast in the cafeteria, and today's meal was fried dough sticks and egg soup. After Xue Kemei bought the rice, he put it on the table, and then put a fritter on Yan Qiuping's plate first. After that, everyone sandwiched their own fritters and began to eat.

Today's atmosphere seems to be something special. The careful Su Xiuling found that several people were eating with their heads down at the dinner table, and they didn't talk much, and their mood was also a little low.

Yan Qiuping only ate a few bites and stopped eating. Su Xiuling asked her if the food was not palatable, she shook her head, smiled and said:

"No, it's not that the food doesn't fit, it's that I don't have much of an appetite." After speaking, she glanced at Liu Chunjiang.

At this time, Liu Chunjiang also looked at her, looked at the food she was eating, and said:

"You have to eat some more, so I'll buy you some more." With that, he got up and went out. Yan Qiuping wanted to shout to stop him, but Liu Chunjiang had already gone out.

After a while, Liu Chunjiang bought three catties of milk and a few steamed buns from outside, and two bags of mustard came back, the milk was raw, and he told the master of the canteen that he was helping to heat it up.

When the milk was cooked, Liu Chunjiang walked over from the window with a small aluminum pot, then poured a bowl into Yan Qiuping's bowl and said to her:

"Drink while it's hot. ”

Yan Qiuping nodded gratefully and said:

"Thank you, thank you. Liu Chunjiang just smiled, and he found that Yan Qiuping's eyes were a little moist.

Xue Kemei looked at Liu Chunjiang stupidly, and actually forgot to eat. Liu Chunjiang said to her:

"Why don't you drink it quickly? It's almost cold. ”

Xue Kemei smiled awkwardly as if he had woken up from a dream, and then lowered his head and drank.

It turned out that when Liu Chunjiang fell in love with her in the past, he knew that Yan Qiuping had a problem, that is, she didn't like to eat fritters. And Xue Kemei didn't know Yan Qiuping's problem, so she also bought fritters and put them in a bowl for her, and Yan Qiuping, as a guest, was embarrassed to refuse, for fear that others would say that she had many problems and a big shelf, so she had to accept it. However, she couldn't eat fritters, Liu Chunjiang saw it in his eyes, of course he knew why this was in his heart, so he took the initiative to go out and buy her his favorite steamed buns, mustard and milk.

Yan Qiuping didn't expect that more than ten years later, Liu Chunjiang could still remember some of her habits for eating, and what food she liked to eat, it was these small things that moved Yan Qiuping's heart.

Of course, Xue Kemei and Su Xiuling also saw the mystery here.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Chunjiang smiled and said:

"You don't know, the two of us used to be classmates, some of her habits, of course I know, what is this?"

"I don't think so, or you are a careful person who pretends to be a problem, if you meet a careless person, how can you remember these little things?" Su Xiuling said.

Xue Kemei didn't speak, she picked up the bowl and drank, and at the same time, she secretly glanced at Liu Chunjiang. Liu Chunjiang saw Xue Kemei looking at him, and quickly lowered his head.

In the morning meeting, the delegations discussed in groups, and Su Xiuling took Liu Chunjiang and Xue Kemei to Tian Yu's Audi car and came to the printing house early to ask for another set of ballot papers to be printed. After that, she asked Liu Chunjiang and Xue Kemei to wait here, and she asked Tian Yu to pull her back to the factory to get the official seal.

The ballots were arranged, Liu Chunjiang and Xue Kemei looked at it carefully, and felt that there was no problem, so they nodded and signed.

This time, a total of three sets of ballots were printed, and each set was a different color. The ballot papers were printed. Liu Chunjiang and Xue Kemei waited for the ink on these ballots to dry out, and then they came out of the printing house with these ballots.

By this time it was close to noon. Liu Chunjiang looked at his watch and said to Xue Kemei:

"Let's have some food, and we'll have to stamp the ballot at noon." ”

The two of them came to a restaurant, the waiter came over and asked them what they ordered, and Liu Chunjiang asked Xue Kemei to order the food by himself.

Xue Kemei glanced at him, and said with a hint of vinegar:

"When you buy food for someone, you don't have to ask, you know what they want to eat, but when you come to me, you don't know anything. It seems that the old love is still unforgettable. ”

When Liu Chunjiang heard this, his face was stunned, his eyes looked straight at her, and he couldn't say a word. When Xue Kemei saw it, he quickly smiled at him and said:

“…… Look at you, why are you looking at me so seriously, I'm just joking with you. After saying that, she smiled at the waiter and said, "You can do it, just come and have some." ”
