Lu Wei recalled this and found that Qi Yun beside him was already full of tears, so he lowered his head deeply and gently sucked on this salty sweet spring.

Qi Yun dodged a few times, and finally couldn't help but lean on Lu Wei's shoulder socket and sob. If you replace her with Lu Wei...... She didn't want to make that assumption, but she actually understood: if she was Lu Wei, in that case, she might have to make the same choice.

Lu Wei hugged Qi Yun and said slowly: "Xiaoyun, although I am sorry that I have a marriage with He Miliang, I can assure you that there is not a day when my heart and even my body do not belong to you...... It's just that there are some face-saving things that I have to do, such as He Miliang's mother being hospitalized this time......"

Qi Yun didn't speak. She didn't know that Lu Wei could only hide from the world if he and He Miliang pretended to be a couple with deep affection, and those business partners who looked at He Miliang's father's face would continue to blush at Lu Wei. Although she understands, it is even more uncomfortable because of it, when will such days end?

As if hearing her inner words, Lu Wei said:

"Come on, Xiaoyun."

Qi Yun suddenly raised his teary eyes and looked at Lu Wei, who gently rubbed her face with his palm,

"He Miliang's child will have his third birthday in a few months. When he turns three, He Miliang will take him abroad in the name of 'getting a better education' - in fact, she herself wants to move to the place where the child's real father has died. And why should I go to all the trouble to run this studio? This is a grand project, the influence is not only in the province, but also in the whole country and beyond, and it is also a huge capital operation. If the operation is small, I will no longer be under the shadow of the He family; If the operation is successful, I will still have enough power to match the He family. ”

Lu Wei's lips gently tossed between Qi Yun's ears and temples,

"No matter which of these two outcomes, I will break off the marriage contract with He Miliang within a year, and then fulfill my promise to you...... Although there have been many twists and turns in the process, and some unpleasantness, I know that some things will make you and myself feel ashamed. But today, I still want to say to you: Xiaoyun, I said that I would marry you in three years - this is more than just talk. ”

Qi Yun bit his lower lip tightly. She once thought that after these years of life, she had become strong, or at least numb, but now at this moment, like all the weakest women, she only longed to curl up in the arms of the man she loved and wept.

She still loves to worry about landing. Although he had failed her, although he sometimes did not care about her emotions, her inner pain, although he had given her a deep shame until now.

But after all, this is the purest and most beautiful person she has walked through the youth together. It was they who touched each other's initial hearts, witnessed each other's initial sweetness, and shared each other's most jerky intimacy...... So no matter how many years have passed, how many things have passed, these things have always been in my heart.

Perhaps because of this, it becomes less difficult to forgive and accept again and again.

Early the next morning, Lu Wei made an exception and drove Qi Yun to breakfast, although he chose a five-star hotel in the middle of nowhere, which had just opened and there were not many guests, Qi Yun thought that he was trying to prevent him from running into acquaintances, and his heart ached, but after all, he still felt a little joy in order to be able to dine with him openly.

Lu Wei gracefully added just the right amount of sugar and milk to the coffee, stirred it and pushed it in front of Qi Yun:

"I thought about it for a long time last night, if you stay in this city now, Hong Jian may still not give up looking for you, and in order to take Uncle Qi out, I sometimes have to do things on the scene, and it is not suitable to keep you alone with a girl. It's better to go out for a month or two to relax, and when the matter is settled, I will pick you up. ”

"Out of the house? Where to? Although Qi Yun knew that Lu Wei was telling the truth, he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

"There are places to go," Lu Wei smiled and coaxed Qi Yun, "Go to Beijing to see the 'Chengtou', go to Xi'an to see the 'Grave', go to Shanghai to see the 'Rentou', go to Suzhou to see the 'Qiaotou', go to Tianjin to see the 'Wharf', go to Guilin to see the 'Mountain', go to Nanjing to see the 'Stone', go to Henan to see the 'Bald Head', go to Hainan to see the 'Langtou', go to Hangzhou to see the 'girl'......"

Qi Yun glanced at him, "This 'girl' in Hangzhou, I'll wait for your old man to go and see it by yourself when he is free, I won't do it for me." ”

Lu Wei held down Qi Yun's hand that was spreading jam on a piece of bread,

"I'm not done yet...... Those, it doesn't matter. Most importantly, you are the forerunner of our upcoming honeymoon...... Wherever you like, we will go for our honeymoon in the future. ”

Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, pulled out his hand, and muttered, "Who is on your honeymoon with you", but his face turned red disobediently.

Lu Wei also seemed a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly at first, and turned his face slightly away from Qi Yun. Qi Yun bit his lower lip and stuffed a slice of bread smeared with blueberry jam into his mouth and chewed. The homemade blueberry jam in this restaurant tastes good, slightly sour, slightly astringent, but always sweet to the heart.

After eating, the two of them walked out of the restaurant with their fingers crossed, and when they arrived at the door of the hotel, they changed to one before the other. Qi Yun took out his mobile phone to check the time, thinking about whether he could get a taxi from this hotel to the unit in time and not be late. Just as he was frowning and thinking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Is it Teacher Qi?"

Qi Yun looked at the source of the sound in bewilderment, but suddenly jumped up in surprise, rushed forward two steps, and held the other party's hand tightly.

"Headmaster! Headmaster! ”

Qi Yun never dreamed that he would meet the principal in this place, and after a few years, the white-washed blue cloth shirt on his body seemed to be the same as before, and the pocket cloth was removed and a neat patch was made on the neckline. It's just that the furrows on his face are deeper, and his waist seems to be more rickety than before.

The principal also smiled: "The eighteenth change of the female university, Teacher Qi, you are getting more and more handsome, I almost can't recognize it." ”

"Oh, what are you talking about, principal," Qi Yun blushed, and was humble, and the huge surprise made her unable to avoid suspicion, and beckoned back to Lu Wei, who had already walked a long way ahead.

"Lu Wei, come back, come back quickly!" She smiled and called him: "Let me introduce you: this is my direct supervisor when I was teaching - the principal!" ”

Lu Wei hesitated slightly, turned around and returned to Qi Yun's side, looking at the principal, with a slight wrinkle in his eyebrows.

"Fortunately."

Lu Wei said two words in a low voice. The principal looked up at him, and saw that he was dressed nobly, but there was an imperceptible coldness in his expression, his lips twitched twice, and he subconsciously rubbed his hands on the placket a few times, but because the other party did not reach out to shake each other, he retracted the hand that was about to be handed out.

Qi Yun was shocked at first, and did not notice this scene, but just asked one after another:

"Headmaster, how did you get here? Don't you have my phone number? If you're here, why don't you call me? ”

The principal laughed dryly and said, "I...... I'm here to petition. ”

"Petitioning?" Qi Yun was stunned in surprise, the municipal party committee and the municipal government and the education commission are far away from here, which department is the principal going to petition? However, what she is more concerned about is that although the principal is from a mud leg, he is a very wise and methodical person, what does he need to petition?

Seeing his doubts, the principal casually explained, "The guest house near the city hall is too expensive, although it is far away, but a bus will arrive from the beginning to the end." ”

Qi Yun asked without hesitation, "Headmaster, is there anything going on in our school?" ”

The principal has a great prestige in the village, and it is probably not his own business to come to petition, but the school's business. The headmaster hesitated for a moment and said:

"Teacher Qi, I just happened to run into you, so you can be tired to listen and help analyze it."

Qi Yun naturally nodded vigorously: "That's it, you can talk about it quickly." ”

"Our school has been doing well since you helped raise a lot of money and build a new school building two years ago. However, later on, what cultural undertakings were to be carried out in the region, I heard that a world-class film and television city was to be built, and the county also had fund-raising tasks...... It's a month or two months, but it's been more than half a year now, and I haven't even sent two dates...... Hey, our teachers are not immortals, and they can't do it without eating, although the villagers have volunteered to raise money and food for the teachers, but in the end a bucket of water can't extinguish the firewood stacks, and recently the teachers have been malnourished one or two, and several teachers are swollen. ”

"What? Could there be such a thing? Qi Yun frowned and thought about it, and suddenly glanced at Lu Wei, who turned his head away in a hurry, looking a little embarrassed.

Qi Yun changed his mind in his heart, so he took the principal's hand affectionately and asked:

"Where do you live? Do you need me to arrange a place for you to live? ”

"Don't bother you, Teacher Qi," the principal said with a smile, "I live in a guest house near here, the conditions are very good, you can take a bath in the corridor, and it is very convenient to go to the mayor's petition office every day." ”

"Okay, you'll be here first." Qi Yun thought that even if he tried to persuade the principal to live in a better place, it would be useless, so he said: "What you said, I will ask someone to understand the situation and see if I can think of a way." ”

The principal raised Qi Yun's hand to his forehead and shook it:

"If you can really help, Teacher Qi, you are really a living bodhisattva in our village!"

Qi Yun couldn't help but be humble, and said goodbye to the old principal, Qi Yun silently walked with Lu Wei in parallel, both of them were silent, and there were three or four steps in between.

Qi Yun suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Wei.

"The film and television city that the principal said is the one you want to build, right?"

Lu Wei coughed lightly: "What are we?" It should be said that it is us. ”

Seeing that Qi Yun was silent, Lu Wei took the initiative to explain:

"Raising funds from the county and villages has nothing to do with our operations. However, the relevant departments of the local government are also involved in this matter, and I suspect that they may adopt the operation method of raising funds from the grassroots. ”

"Let them stop!" Qi Yun had to work hard to suppress the dissatisfaction in his tone, "Didn't you hear what the principal said?" Recently, the teachers have been malnourished, and several teachers have swollen bodies......"

Lu Wei chuckled,

"When he says a word, do you really think of yourself as a living bodhisattva? The county is responsible for raising 40 percent of the funds for this matter, and if they don't raise money, how can the film and television city be built? ”

"If the film and television city is built on the premise that those rural teachers can't pay their salaries for more than half a year or even longer," Qi Yun was not to be outdone, "then this film and television city can't be built!" ”

"Xiaoyun, don't you understand what you're talking about? You're just a woman's kindness. Lu Wei frowned, "If the film and television city construction is not successful, how can I have the strength to compete with the He family?" How can I have the ability to be with you and protect you? However, you are the most temperamental person, and it really annoys you, and I am sure you will say that you would rather not be with me. But you have to understand that even if you are not uncommon to be with me, then you should at least know that without a large amount of capital turnover, I am also not able to keep Uncle Qi out. ”

Qi Yun stammered, but he was still angry. She theoretically knew that what Lu Wei said was not wrong, money can make ghosts grind, not to mention that people do not do it for themselves, and heaven and earth will be destroyed, and history has repeatedly proved the correctness of this sentence. But her feelings made her unacceptable, to keep her father out, she had to make those rural teachers who were already living a difficult life further hungry? What is the logical connection between these two things? It's ridiculous.

"No, it still can't be like this." She seemed to say to herself, "Lu Wei, you have to think about it, those rural teachers are a valuable and almost non-renewable resource for grassroots education, they also have to live, there are old and young, if they can't survive, they will choose other careers, so what about the children?" Now the phenomenon of children dropping out of school in rural areas is very serious, do you understand? If these teachers all go to self-employment, maybe the children's future will be ruined! …… As for my dad, I don't believe that with your current ability, you can't think of any other way! ”

"I myself came from the poorest and most miserable countryside, do you think I understand?" Lu Wei sneered and cut off Qi Yun's words impatiently, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, although we have a cooperative relationship with the relevant departments of the regional government, most of the time I have to rely on others, how people want to raise funds is their own business, you don't think I'm qualified to call the shots in this matter, right?" Besides, the relevant government departments want political performance, and if they don't raise money to do this, they may also have to raise money to do other things, no matter what they do to raise money, it is the same for teachers. Xiaoyun, don't be too naïve, okay? ”

Qi Yun was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but slow down, smacking the taste of Lu Wei's words for a long time.

Lu Wei walked a few steps, and there was no voice of Qi Yun behind him, he stopped and turned around, and when he saw Qi Yun's depressed appearance, he was a little unbearable, so he said gently:

"Xiaoyun, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone, so you don't have to worry about yourself. But in this matter, I promise you to do your best to protect those village teachers within the limits of your ability - I have something to do, I'll go first, you can relax. ”

Qi Yunmu nodded, there were all kinds of feelings in his heart, but they were not clear. just stood there all the time, looking at Lu Wei, who was dressed in an incomparably fitting suit, and his handsome figure like a jade tree in the wind gradually drifted away.
