Men and women who suffer from unrequited love are the most sensitive to the every move of their romantic partner. Therefore, after hearing Chen Pei's complaining words, Zhang Wenqing immediately became convinced of the fact that the daughter of Deputy Secretary Chen, who he was pursuing, had fallen in love with Lu Tao, a small local tax cadre from the remote Taolin County. Moreover, judging from the way she looked at Lu Tao stupidly and the resentful tone just now, it may be that she took the initiative to pursue Lu Tao, and Lu Tao seemed to be a little unappreciative......

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Wenqing's heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, with all kinds of tastes, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, staring at Lu Tao with jealous eyes, and subconsciously clenched his fists, his thin white teeth clenched together, and he couldn't wait to rush up and beat Lu Tao hard......

Xia Bingbing is a smart person in ice and snow, and soon noticed Zhang Wenqing's jealous gaze when he looked at Lu Tao, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a mocking smile, and then turned his curious eyes to Lu Tao who was talking to Chen Pei, and looked at him carefully again, and listened to him talk to Chen Pei for a while, and his heart suddenly throbbed a few times for no reason, and a thought couldn't help but pop up in his mind: This kid is too handsome, not only comparable to a movie star, but also chic and dignified when talking to Chen Pei, witty words, it seems very personable and self-contained, no wonder Deputy Secretary Chen, the daughter of the daughter, is so devoted to him......

After respectfully inviting Chen Pei to take a seat, while she was holding up the teacup and drinking tea, Cai Changming quietly poked Lu Tao who was sitting next to him a few times with his elbow, signaling him to invite Chen Pei to have dinner with him tomorrow.

Lu Tao smiled, and after Chen Pei took a few sips of tea, he asked in an inquiring tone: "Pei Pei, are you free tomorrow at noon or evening? If there is no other entertainment, I would like to invite you to have a meal with us, and by the way, I would like to ask you about the procedures and requirements for applying for special funds for the construction of the new countryside." ”

Chen Pei turned his head to look at him, and said in a half-joking, half-serious tone: "You can invite me to dinner tomorrow, but you must promise me one condition: accompany me to 'Yaqin Performing Arts' tonight to listen to the song." Don't you like Peking Opera? There are Peking Opera performances every night in this performing arts bar, and sometimes there are live performances by famous Peking Opera actors, okay?"

Before Lu Tao could answer, Cai Changming immediately said excitedly on the side: "Section Chief Chen, if you have Yaxing who listens to songs, we will accompany you and Xiao Lu to go together, and I will treat you! Don't worry, I will pay for the music tonight and will not go to the unit for reimbursement!"

Chen Pei turned his head and glanced at Cai Changming, but did not make a sound.

Xia Bingbing hurriedly tugged at Cai Changming's sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "Cai Ju, what are you making a fuss about?" Section Chief Chen wants to play alone with Xiao Lu, don't you see it?"

Cai Changming patted his head with a sudden realization, and said to Chen Pei with a smile: "Section Chief Chen, I'm really confused!" You and Xiao Lu are classmates, and it is rare to get together, so we won't bother tonight, please take care of yourself. Here, I solemnly invite you to have a light meal with us tomorrow at noon or evening, and I hope that Section Chief Chen will appreciate his face!"

Chen Pei was a little disgusted with this overzealous and unpromising director of the Finance Bureau, but it was difficult to show it in front of Lu Tao, so he had to nod reservedly, which was considered to be a promise to Cai Changming, and then turned his head and asked Lu Tao again: "Are you going to listen to the song?" If you don't go, I'll go home!"

Lu Tao raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and saw that the hands were just pointing to nine o'clock, and knew that it was the time for the performing arts bar to start performing, and he really liked to watch Peking Opera performances, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll invite you to listen to the song!"

After walking out of the box door, Lu Tao subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Wenqing, but saw a look of extreme hatred and jealousy flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: It seems that he has completely offended this senior in a critical department......

On the taxi to the Yaqin Performing Arts Bar, Lu Tao asked a little curiously: "Pei Pei, I heard Senior Zhang Wenqing say that you rarely go out to socialize after work, and you usually stay at home to watch TV or read books with your aunt, how do you know that there are Peking Opera performances in Yaqin Performing Arts Bar?" Also, when you were in college, you were not interested in Peking Opera, at that time, we organized the whole school to set up a ticket club for students who like Peking Opera, and from time to time to gather for some friendship performances, I have never seen you participate, why do you suddenly like to listen to Peking Opera now?"

Chen Pei turned her head, stared at Lu Tao with clear and clear eyes, and said faintly: "Don't you know the idiom of love house and wu? In fact, when I was in college, I knew that you were very fond of Peking Opera, and you were a Peking Opera enthusiast. I clearly remember: the first time you took the stage to play Zhuge Liang, the song you sang was a classic singing segment in "Empty City Strategy", and the first sentence was 'I am watching the mountain scenery from the city tower'. The second time you performed on stage was the 'Sitting Palace' segment in "Shiro's Mother", which was sung in duet with Princess Tiejing—am I right?"

Lu Tao stared at Chen Pei with a surprised gaze, gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Peipei, your memory is so good, it's completely right!"

Chen Pei was silent for a moment and whispered: "I'm actually a very stupid girl, and my memory is not good at all. But I remember everything about you, including the bits and pieces of my association with you in college, and the more time passes, the more memorable it becomes. As for why I didn't join your Peking Opera Ticket Club, you should know it in your own heart! At that time, you and Yang Xiaoting were in love, and she followed you everywhere you went, what am I going to do? It's just to add to your troubles, right?"

These straightforward words once again made Lu Tao fall into embarrassment, and he couldn't answer for a long time.

Chen Pei stared at him a few times, sighed and said, "Lu Tao, I know that you don't have me in your heart at all, and I also know that feelings can't be forced, but I just can't let go, I just don't want to give up with a little hope." I still say the same thing: within three years, as long as you have a feeling of liking me, or even if you still don't like me, but you are willing to marry me, I am willing to marry you. I don't have any other strengths, but I am still very confident in being a good wife and mother. As long as you are willing to marry me, I have the confidence, the means, and the ability to make you gradually like me. Of course, this is just my own wishful thinking, and the decision is up to you whether it can be realized in the end. ”
