That night, after more than an hour of careful consideration, Lu Tao finally made a difficult decision: in the future, he must restrain his love for He Ying, and he must no longer have any ambiguous actions with her, let alone have a substantive ambiguous relationship with her. Otherwise, his relationship with Zhou Yihong will be completely broken, and he may even face unpredictable and serious consequences......

Although this decision was made, it made Lu Tao feel very painful, and he couldn't sleep on the bed for a long time: in his mind, He Ying was the most perfect and excellent woman, and she was also the image of his ideal girlfriend and even wife. However, it is such a goddess who looks tall and arrogant, beautiful as a fairy, but she cheated during her marriage, and she was still a "little three" for others, what a ""!

The most important thing is: even if he knows that she may be morally deficient and knows that she may be Zhou Yihong's lover, as long as he remembers the situation when he secretly held hands with her twice, Lu Tao will have a feeling of ecstasy and heartbreaking. It's like a drug, you know it's harmful, it's toxic, but you can't help but think about it, taste it, and even want to try it again......

For the next two days, Lu Tao and his fellow hikers hiked through the vast forests of Shuangxiong Mountain, until 4 p.m. on Sunday, when they walked out of the primeval forest and arrived at a village where the returning vehicles were parked.

Because there was no signal on his mobile phone when he was walking through the forest, Lu Tao simply turned off his mobile phone. After walking out of the forest area, he turned on his mobile phone as soon as possible and found that there were five or six missed calls, all of which were from He Ying.

Lu Tao didn't want to return the phone, and went directly to his nearby hometown for dinner with a travel friend, but thinking about it, it was too ruthless and too much, so he called back a phone call, and as soon as he connected, he heard He Ying anxiously ask: "Xiao Luzi, are you back? Why can't your mobile phone get through?" I have already bought the vegetables, and when you come back to stir-fry, how long will it take for you to get home?"

Lu Tao said in an apologetic tone: "Sister Ying, I'm really sorry, we have just walked out of the forest now, and we haven't gotten on the return car yet, so I guess we can't rush back to stir-fry vegetables-"

He Ying immediately interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, then you hurry back, I'll stir-fry tonight, and when you come back to eat together, you have to hurry up!"

Lu Tao hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Sister Ying, we have a donkey friend's hometown near Shuangxiong Mountain, and he asked us to go to his house to eat authentic local chicken, so I won't come back to eat, you don't have to wait for me!"

He Ying was stunned for a long time when he heard him say that he would not go back to dinner, and suddenly scolded: "You bastard, liar!" After scolding, she hung up the phone......

In order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting He Ying, after Lu Tao returned to the county seat after having dinner at the traveler's house, he deliberately went to the office to look at the computer and saw eleven o'clock.

Just as he was about to take off his clothes and take a bath, someone suddenly knocked on the door, intuitively, Lu Tao felt that the person who knocked on the door should be He Ying, and he couldn't help but secretly complain: If it was really He Ying, she must have come to ask her for guilt, how to explain the no-show to her later?

Before he could figure it out, He Ying's voice sounded outside: "Xiao Luzi, open the door!" I know you're back, don't pretend to be asleep!"

Lu Tao had no choice but to put on his half-taken shirt again, pulled his slippers to the door, opened the door, showed an embarrassed smile, and asked, "Sister Ying, I just got home, is there something wrong?"

At the same time as the questioning, he was ready to be scolded by He Ying, but to his surprise, He Ying uncharacteristically did not blame him, and even did not mention his failure at all, he found a pair of slippers on the shoe cabinet and put them on, and asked lightly while walking in the direction of the study: "Do you have any good books at home?" During this time, I have a little insomnia at night, and I want to find a few good books to read before going to bed, which may help sleep. ”

When Lu Tao heard that she was going to borrow a book to read, he was a little stunned at first, but immediately reacted: borrowing a book was just an excuse for her, and it is estimated that she had been waiting for her to come back at home, so she hadn't slept yet. Moreover, she must have been listening to the movement here, and when she got off the elevator and opened the door, she heard a noise, so she made an excuse to come and meet her!

After this thought popped up, Lu Tao's heart couldn't help but jump again: Is she really in love with herself? I remember that there is a classic quote in Mr. Qian Zhongshu's novel "The Siege of the City": "Everyone knows that women refuse to spend money on books." A man is willing to buy candy, clothing, and cosmetics and give them to a woman, but he is only willing to borrow books from her, and if he does not buy them, he will not give them. What is the reason for this? If you borrow it, you have to pay it back, and you can borrow it and return it, and a book can be used as an excuse for two contacts, and there is no trace. This is the inevitable preliminary of the love between men and women, and as soon as you borrow a book, it will be a big problem. ”

When she was having dinner at He Ying's house on Friday, Lu Tao went to her study to take a look, and there were basically no other types of books on the shelves, except for some political monographs, public security books, and the four famous books in hardcover, which proved that she did not like to read books in ordinary times. So, now that she suddenly came to her house to borrow books, is it what Mr. Qian Zhongshu said, "finding an excuse"?

So, he asked casually: "Sister Ying, what type of books do you like to read? novels or prose or poetry? I don't have many other things here, but the books are still relatively rich." ”

He Ying hesitated, shook her head and said, "I don't know what books I want to read, why don't you recommend a few to me!"

Lu Tao smiled and said, "If you want to read some books to relax before going to bed, I recommend you to read a few books, one is Mr. Liang Shiqiu's "Yashe Sketches". This is a collection of essays, each article in it is vivid and interesting, and the writing is brilliant, the language is also very humorous, the most suitable for reading before going to bed; the other is Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey" or "Mountain House Notes", these two books are some of Yu Qiuyu's visits to Chinese civilization, expressing his feelings about the rise and fall of civilization, the appeal to respect culture and the yearning for a sound personality, which is worth reading. ”

He Ying stared at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said sincerely: "Xiao Luzi, no wonder Director Zhou said just now that you are talented, judging from the books you read and your speech and demeanor, you are indeed talented, and you also have a good martial arts, which can be regarded as both civil and military, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future." ”

Lu Tao didn't expect her to suddenly sigh like this, and scratched her scalp a little embarrassedly and said: "Sister Ying, you have won the award! I am still a small civil servant who has been punished, what can I do in the future?"
