Chapter 33: Fear
Li Tao is very addicted to playing mahjong, and she loses the most tonight, so she also wants to play for another hour to have a good time, and when she heard Lu Tao say that she wants to go back to rest first, she said to Zhou Youliang: "Zhou Ju, since Yingying still wants to play, let's play for another hour! In the past, every time Yingying proposed to end first, it is rare for her to be so interested tonight, let's fulfill her! As for Xiao Lu, he will not participate in the war anyway, it doesn't matter if he goes back to rest first, we have a lot of corners!"
He Ying saw that Lu Tao was leaving, and she was already excited, so she said to Li Tao: "Peach, forget it, I think the weekly bureau is also a little tired, everyone should end early, anyway, we will have time in the future, next time you will pull the book!"
Li Tao saw that she first proposed to fight for another hour, but at this moment she retreated, and looked at her strangely a few times, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Su Lishu with her eyes.
Before leaving, Zhou Youliang called Lu Tao aside and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, when you are free in a few days, I will invite you to drink, you must appreciate your face! I heard Xiao Ying say, she and you are like sisters and brothers, I am Xiao Ying's uncle, we should also get along like relatives, right? If I want to ask you for help with something, I hope you don't shirk, haha!"
Lu Tao said with a smile: "Zhou Ju, Political Commissar He does treat me as his own brother, you are her uncle, which is equivalent to my uncle, if you need my help with anything, as long as it is within my ability, I will not shirk it!"
Zhou Youliang couldn't help but smile when he saw that he promised very happily, grabbed his hand tightly, and shook it affectionately while thanking him uncontrollably......
After sending Zhou Youliang and the others away, He Ying saw that Lu Tao was about to go to the opposite side to open the door, suddenly stopped him, and asked in a low voice: "How long will it take for you to go to Shuangxiong Mountain for hiking and camping? Can you rush back before dinner the day after tomorrow?"
Lu Tao nodded and said: "Our plan is to set off early tomorrow morning, hike for a day tomorrow, camp under the Cuiping Peak of Shuangxiong Mountain, and finish the rest of the journey the next day, and return to the county seat at about five o'clock." ”
Speaking of this, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he asked in a low voice: "Political Commissar He, are you addicted to eating my food, and you want to continue to let me take charge of the stir-fry the night after tomorrow?"
He Ying took a sip of him gently, but did not deny it, and said softly: "Then I will go buy vegetables first in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and wait for you to come back and cook and eat together." This time, we divide and cooperate: I am responsible for washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, washing dishes and chopsticks, and you are responsible for stir-frying, okay?"
Lu Tao nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I'll try to come back early the day after tomorrow to cook." ”
Before parting, He Ying suddenly said to Lu Tao: "Xiao Luzi, you are not allowed to call me Political Commissar He again in the future, it sounds awkward! Either call me Sister He or Sister Ying, or call me by my name, or call me by the nickname He Xiangu, or you are not allowed to call me 'Political Commissar He' anymore, do you hear?"
Lu Tao responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll call you Sister Ying in the future, and I'll no longer be called Political Commissar He!"
After returning home, Lu Tao came to the balcony, lit a cigarette, swallowed the clouds and exhaled the fog, while carefully recalling the situation of secretly holding hands with He Ying under the mahjong table just now, only to feel that his bones were soft and crisp, and an indescribable sense of joy and pride arose: it turned out that He Ying, the goddess he had been in love with for a long time and only dared to look up to before, actually liked herself, which was really an unexpected surprise for herself, and it also proved that she was indeed a little charming......
When he thought of the word "charm", Zhou Yihong's tall and burly figure suddenly appeared in Lu Tao's mind, and recalled that night He Ying's husband came to "catch the adulterer", and Zhou Yihong climbed from the balcony window to his house in embarrassment with his own help, just like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and the restless passion and impulse in his heart instantly cooled down.
Now, the biggest question in his mind is: What is the relationship between Zhou Yihong and He Ying? If her husband didn't hear the slightest rumor, how could he bring someone over to catch the rapist for no reason?
What is certain now is that He Ying's husband did not know that the person who stayed in He Ying's room that night was Zhou Yihong, otherwise, this matter would have spread all over the city. If He Ying is not Zhou Yihong's lover, then what did he do when he ran to a girl's house in the middle of the night?
However, if He Ying is Zhou Yihong's lover, why is she the kind of indifferent attitude that rejects people thousands of miles away? Judging from her later words and deeds, she obviously hates and even hates Zhou Yihong, and has repeatedly stated that she does not want to see him again in the future, what is going on?
After thinking about it, Lu Tao could only find such a reluctantly explainable reason: He Ying did be Zhou Yihong's lover before, but then she got tired of this underground lover life, or she no longer liked Zhou Yihong, so she thought about this "bad fate". However, Zhou Yihong was moved by his true feelings and was reluctant to give up this relationship at all, so he kept begging He Ying to change her mind and beg her not to leave him. He came to He Ying that night, probably to persuade her to continue to maintain a relationship with him......
When it was speculated here, Lu Tao further analyzed the reason why He Ying was willing to hold hands with him secretly: she is now eager to get rid of Zhou Yihong's entanglement, but she and her husband have been separated for a long time, and the couple have long been separated, and it is impossible to break up with Zhou Yihong in the name of the family. So, she wanted to find herself to be her lover, in this way, if Zhou Yihong wants to pester her in the future, she can say that she already has a boyfriend, and this reason is the best excuse for all freak lovers to break up......
When he thought of this, Lu Tao couldn't help but be afraid: if his inference was correct, then He Ying's scheming and the city government were really too deep. Moreover, once Zhou Yihong learns that He Ying has found himself as a "boyfriend" in the future, he will definitely hate himself to the core. He is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and if he wants to take revenge on himself, it is really a very simple thing.
Lu Tao knows very well: although he has a deep relationship with Zhou Yihong, and his father is still his savior, but a person who is deeply in love and cannot extricate himself cannot be speculated by common sense, and it is very likely that he will do crazy things because of losing his mind - this is no exception.
Although Zhou Yihong is in a high position and looks like a good official with great virtue and integrity, if he really has a personal relationship with He Ying, this evaluation of "virtuous and ethical" will be greatly discounted. Moreover, judging from his words and deeds when he was with He Ying, he is indeed true to He Ying, and sometimes even gives people a feeling of being inferior in front of He Ying. In this case, if he has an ambiguous relationship with He Ying, he will face very dangerous and embarrassing consequences......
