In the next few days, Chen Zhongning, Chen Qingdong, and Chen Lu spent peacefully in this unit, except for measuring their body temperature on time every day according to the requirements of the epidemic prevention personnel and reporting to them the data, there was nothing else. [No pop-ups.]

The enthusiastic people in the Cuifengyuan community also spontaneously organized a "self-help meeting", hoping that everyone can exchange experiences and help each other every day, so as to eliminate each other's panic as much as possible.

However, Chen Qingdong and the others are not people who like to be lively, and secondly, they also feel that the gathering of so many people will increase the chance of contracting the virus, so they did not join the self-help club, and stayed at home every day.

In addition, Chen Qingdong asked Wang Fang to purchase some daily necessities and food for them, and sent them after being inspected by medical staff. At Chen Zhongning's request, Chen Qingdong also asked Wang Fang to buy a pair of chess pieces and send them over.

So, Chen Qingdong and they passed the time by reading books and playing chess every day, and sometimes because of their interest, they would discuss a certain topic together, and they were also happy.

For a few days, they stayed in such a room, as if they were in a paradise, without the troubles of worldly chores, and enjoyed a rare peaceful time.

However, under the calm on the surface, Chen Qingdong also clearly felt the dark tide surging!

This undercurrent naturally comes from Chen Lu.

In this enclosed space, Chen Qingdong has clearly felt that the relationship between him and Chen Lu has become more and more intimate, the air is full of hormones, and in the occasional eye contact, Chen Qingdong seems to see through the desire in Chen Lu's heart at a glance.

Chen Qingdong even felt that Chen Lu was waiting for him to take the initiative to take that step.

Chen Qingdong can only use his strong nerves to warn himself not to make mistakes.

Time flies, and a week has passed in a flash.

In the afternoon, two medical personnel came to Chen Zhongning's house to do a detailed examination for the three of them, and there were no problems, and then the medical staff happily told them that they would observe the Cuifengyuan community for another day tomorrow, and if there were no problems, then the Cuifengyuan community would be released from isolation before tomorrow night.

Chen Qingdong and they are all very happy, although the three of them have never really had much fear of **, but after hearing the news, they still feel a kind of joy like the rest of their lives!

That night, Chen Qingdong and Chen Lu took out all the ingredients that could be used at home, busily made a big meal, and opened a bottle of Baihu wine they brought to celebrate the end of the quarantine period together.

Chen Zhongning's age is old, and the amount of alcohol is also very average, only drinking more than one or two liquors in total, and Chen Qingdong and Chen Lu's interest is very high, after arranging the rest of the liquor, the three of them each drank a glass of Chen Zhongning's treasured flower carving for more than 30 years, according to Chen Zhongning, this altar of flower carving was given to him after an old friend of his time brewed it himself, but soon after, his old friend committed suicide by throwing himself into the river on the eve of the end of the Cultural and Revolutionary Revolution.

Therefore, Chen Zhongning treasured this jar of wine and never touched it again, and more than 30 years passed in a flash.

After eating, Chen Zhongning, who was too strong to drink, went to bed early.

After Chen Qingdong and Chen Lu cleaned up, he did not read in the living room as before, but told Chen Lu that he was also a little dizzy from drinking, and he also went back to the room to rest.

In fact, for Chen Qingdong, who has an excellent amount of alcohol, this wine has no effect on him at all, and he returned to the room not to rest, but he felt that something was likely to happen to him and Chen Lu on the last night here, so he deliberately hid in the room in advance.

Lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep left and right, so Chen Qingdong continued to read.

That night, he didn't read those boring books on economics and management, but chose a copy of Huang Renyu's "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".

Chen Qingdong has always been a person who likes to read history very much, he believes that "reading history makes people wise", every time he reads historical classics, he will always be very emotional when he sees those influential figures who dominate the world in the end but are ruined and even die well.

Among all the dynasties, Chen Qingdong especially likes to read the history of the Ming Dynasty and the history of the Qing Dynasty, perhaps because these two dynasties are only a few hundred years ago, and he will have a stronger feeling when he reads these histories.

And among all the books that write history, he especially likes this "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" written by Huang Renyu.

In fact, strictly speaking, this book written by Huang Renyu cannot be regarded as a history book at all, but more like a long essay, or even a book, but Chen Qingdong especially likes the big historical view that Huang Renyu is good at, and understands the historical truth from a technical point of view.

In fact, Chen Qingdong has read this book many times, but every once in a while, especially when he is uncertain, he always likes to take it out and flip through it.

It's the same tonight, Chen Qingdong opened this book, and after reading a few pages, he quickly settled down and devoted himself to this book.

Unconsciously, Chen Qingdong read it for more than three hours, and he had almost finished reading this not too thick book, Chen Qingdong stretched his waist, ready to go out to the toilet, and then came back and went to sleep after reading the last one.

There was no light in the living room, and it seemed that Chen Lu had already gone to bed, after all, it was almost eleven o'clock.

In fact, the moment he walked out of the room, Chen Qingdong subconsciously had some hope that the lights in the living room were still on, and Chen Lu was still reading in the living room, so after he saw the dark living room, he was still slightly disappointed.

Immediately, Chen Qingdong secretly laughed at himself again, he went back to the room so early tonight, he just didn't want to have some wrong relationship with Chen Lu on the last night he stayed here, but now he was hoping that Chen Lu was still waiting for him in the living room, and it seemed that he subconsciously hoped for this kind of thing.

I'm really not a decent gentleman!

With a self-deprecating smile, Chen Qingdong walked to the toilet and sprinkled N, then washed his face and brushed his teeth, after everything was cleaned up, Chen Qingdong came to the living room and was about to pour a glass of water and take it back to the room to drink, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a black figure on the balcony!

Because the street lights in the community have been extinguished, and today's moonlight is also very dim, resulting in a very poor light on the balcony, Chen Qingdong stood in the living room and couldn't see the situation on the balcony clearly, so he walked over, and after coming to the balcony, he saw clearly, sure enough, Chen Lu was sitting on a chair on the balcony in a daze.

After Chen Qingdong walked to the balcony, Chen Lu did not look back.

Seeing Chen Lu sitting on the balcony in a daze so lonely, Chen Qing** felt a little heartbroken, so he asked, "Why don't you go to sleep yet?"

Chen Lu turned his head to look at Chen Qingdong, then turned his face to look out the window, and said, "Didn't you go to sleep, why did you get up again?"

Chen Qingdong listened to Chen Lu's voice a little hoarse, as if she had just cried, but the light on the balcony was too dim, and he could only see one side of Chen Lu's face, so he couldn't be sure of this.

Smiled a little embarrassedly, Chen Qingdong said: "The wine I drank tonight was a little strong, I went to squint for a while, and it was already much better." ”

Chen Lu said in a mocking tone: "Yes? Secretary Chen, I used to hear others say that you drink well, I thought it was true! I drank not much less wine than you tonight, and I was fine, but you didn't do it first, hum, it turns out that you just wasted your reputation!"

Chen Qingdong was a little embarrassed by her, and subconsciously thought of the agreement they made with each other when they stayed here on the first day, when they said that during the period of isolation here, if anyone laughed at each other, it would be a foul, and then they would have to agree to each other's request.

But now, Chen Qingdong saw that Chen Lu's mood was very bad, and of course it was not appropriate to mention this agreement again, so he just said: "It may be that I haven't drunk for several days, and the amount of alcohol has indeed decreased." Actually, my alcohol consumption is average, and when others say that I drink well, it is just a joke. ”

Chen Lu still looked out the window and said, "Is it a joke for you when I said that just now?"

Chen Qingdong didn't expect Chen Lu to take the initiative to mention this, and after hesitating for a while, Chen Qingdong said, "This doesn't count." ”

Chen Lu said unrelentingly: "But I did laugh at you?"

Chen Qingdong smiled lightly and said: "When we made this agreement at that time, we were talking about the quarantine period, but now that the quarantine period has ended, our agreement will be considered invalid." ”

Chen Lu sneered and said, "Is the quarantine period over? In other words, when you made this agreement at that time, it was just a whim, and you didn't even think about taking it seriously! In fact, if you think about it, you are the leader, how can you really make any agreement with my subordinate? I still abide by it so seriously, and it is really stupid to think about it......

Hearing Chen Lu's words, Chen Qingdong immediately felt a little angry in his heart, and he also sank his face and said, "Chen Lu, I see that you have drunk too much today, right? It's not early, you go back to sleep quickly!"

Chen Lu still maintained that posture, and still said in a mocking tone: "Secretary Chen, you are indeed my leader, but when to go to sleep is my private matter, you don't have the right to even control me in this kind of matter!"

Chen Qingdong was even more angry in his heart, he felt that Chen Lu was really inexplicable, and he came over to care about her kindly, but she always said such strange and sarcastic things!

In a fit of rage, Chen Qingdong turned around and wanted to leave, and stopped paying attention to her.

However, at the moment when he was moved to turn around and leave, Chen Qingdong's heart softened.
