A lunch was very warm, Zou Fang and Chen Ping were more and more satisfied with Zhang Ningning, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was the daughter of the governor, Zou Fang wanted to directly open his mouth for his son to put family affairs on the table, serious because of Zhang Ningning's identity, so that Zou Fang and Chen Ping did not dare to open their mouths recklessly to test anything, only talked about some interesting things at home and outside the home, Chen Xing when he was a child Some interesting things were also talked about by Zou Fang, Zhang Ningning listened to it and laughed.

After eating, Zhang Ningning wanted to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and even went into the kitchen to help wash the dishes, Zou Fang waved his hand again and again and said no, where did he dare to let Zhang Ningning, the daughter of the governor, go into the kitchen to work.

"Ning Ning, you are a guest today, so you don't have to do this kind of thing, otherwise my mother will definitely be upset." Chen Xing smiled and helped persuade Zhang Ningning, who insisted on going into the kitchen to help, and Zhang Ningning gave up.

Chen Xing has to go back to Ximen in the afternoon, it's impossible for him, the county magistrate, to go missing for a day or two, he just passed the meeting of the people's congress yesterday and was officially appointed as the county magistrate of Ximen County, if he disappears for a day or two in a row, it is too unreasonable, after eating and sitting for a while, Chen Xingti yì went out for a walk, and the two young people also had something inconvenient to say at home.

Fortunately, it is now late autumn, although it will be noon, the weather is not hot, the sun is quietly hiding in the dark clouds, the ground is very cool, Chen Xing's community is very green, the two of them meandered along the stone path.

The atmosphere is silent, neither of the two spoke first, this silent feeling will not make either party feel unnatural, as if it is natural, the willows are still around, the wind is waving, a few willows are planted on the edge of a small pond in the community, the willow hanging strips are very green, and there is no coolness in the wind blowing at all, this is the late autumn season in the south, the sky in the north, at this time, it has snowed in some places, only the south can still feel the warmth of the willow wind that blows the face.

Zhang Ningning's few strands of hair floated up, adding a little ethereal temperament to it, Chen Xing was actually very nervous in his heart, he felt that his time had come, this was the most appropriate time for him to confess, he missed today, I don't know when to wait, he wants to go back to Ximen, Zhang Ningning wants to go back to Jiangcheng, it will not be easy to brew such an opportunity next time, and Zhang Ningning has already expressed his emotions very implicitly, wouldn't it be too disappointing for him to be a big man if he doesn't take the initiative.

Although there is a real love experience, but the confession of this kind of thing has nothing to do with experience, whether you have experienced it or not, you will still be nervous, even if you are sure in your heart, everyone will be afraid of being rejected by the other party, once a man's confession is rejected, it is like losing face, many people will feel that they can't hold their face.

Chen Xing didn't think so much at the moment, he was thinking about how to open this mouth, his palms were already sweating slightly, Chen Xing, who presided over the meeting at the first county-wide cadre conference, was not nervous, but he was really nervous at the moment, maybe he was afraid of failure deep down, maybe Zhang Ningning, the proud woman of the sky, gave him too much pressure, making him so unconfident in himself for the first time.

"Ningning, I ......" Chen Xing opened his mouth, but the following words were like his throat being blocked, squirming and unable to speak, staring at Zhang Ningning with warm eyes, Chen Xing's fiery emotions had accumulated into a small volcano in his heart, reaching out to touch the beautiful face that was close at hand, she was so real and distant.

"What's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, what are you doing? Zhang Ningning's big smart eyes stared at Chen Xing, the willow eyebrows of the crescent moon seemed to be smiling at Chen Xing, encouraging Chen Xing to say the following words, her eyes were also full of expectation, this is the collision of emotional sparks between men and women, although the two are no longer young, but love transcends the boundaries of time, space and age, no matter what age it is, love will still collide with fierce sparks.

Chen Xing didn't know where the courage came from, he didn't do it endlessly, and he took Zhang Ningning's hand in his hand with the courage to do it, the sweaty stains were the palms of his hands that revealed what kind of ideological struggle he had gone through in his heart, if it was an ordinary woman, Chen Xing would not be so tight at all, and the woman next to him was of extraordinary significance to Chen Xing.

Perhaps feeling the sweat stains in Chen Xing's palm, Zhang Ningning's little hand broke free slightly, and then let Chen Xing hold it, Chen Xing, who noticed this subtle change, was ecstatic in his heart, and his fiery eyes stared at Zhang Ningning tightly, and his hand was held tighter, as if he was afraid that Zhang Ningning would escape from his hands, "Ningning, is it okay to be my girlfriend?" ”

"If I'm going to reject you, what's the point with you holding my hand now?" Zhang Ningning shook the hand that was clenched by Chen Xing, smiled playfully, and a red cloud floated on his white cheeks.

"Ning Ning, then you agreed? If you don't speak now, I'll take you as an answer. Chen Xing was ecstatic, incoherently didn't know what to say, and finally only made a move that he had always wanted to do, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Zhang Ningning's flushed face, this beautiful face is the most beautiful face Chen Xing thinks he has ever seen in the world, this woman should only be in the sky, how many times in the world can I smell it, Chen Xing's hand strength does not dare to use the slightest force, for fear of blasphemy.

Zhang Ningning's face became more and more red, listening to Chen Xing's gentle rubbing, except for his father and grandfather, Zhang Ningning had never been so close to another person of the opposite sex, feeling the slight itchy feeling brought by Chen Xing's rough palm, Zhang Ningning's heart was like a deer crashing, beating hard.

It's closer, it's closer, Chen Xing's face is closer, only a stone's throw away from Zhang Ningning's beautiful face, as long as he is a little light, he can kiss Zhang Ningning's ruddy lips, Chen Xing also tightened his heart, do you want to kiss it? Will it be abrupt to the beauty? The goddess in his mind is in front of him, she is not only the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, but also a tall red son, the granddaughter of the founding father, the daughter of the governor, a collection of thousands of favors, and now, such a woman is in front of his eyes, Chen Xing's heart is doing another struggle, Zhang Ningning has promised to be his girlfriend, now, it is a question of whether to kiss Fangze, Chen Xing's heart is rising.

Zhang Ningning's eyes were closed, her body was trembling slightly, a strong masculine breath came to her face, feeling the heat that Chen Xing gently blew on her face, the slightest itch was extremely comfortable, Zhang Ningning closed her eyes tightly because of shyness at this time, she didn't know how strong her actions were for Chen Xing, her mouth leaned forward, Chen Xing's inner excitement was indescribable, he kissed the delicate red lips, soft, with the unique faint fragrance of Zhang Ningning's body, Chen Xing kissed it, But there was no further action.

Chen Xing could feel Zhang Ningning's body tense in an instant, and then, as he didn't make any further movements, Zhang Ningning's body slowly relaxed, slowly relaxed, neither of them moved, Zhang Ningning didn't dodge, at this moment, there was only this pair of young men and women immersed in deep kisses between heaven and earth.

For a long time, her lips parted, Zhang Ningning's shy eyes didn't dare to look at Chen Xing, even though she was the proud daughter of the sky, it was the first time to face this kind of relationship between men and women that could make her blush and heartbeat, Zhang Ningning's appearance was no different from that of ordinary women, and she lost that dazzling aura, in fact, she was just an ordinary girl, she would also be shy and heartbeat.

Chen Xing quietly recalled the wonderful feeling of the kiss just now, like the heartbeat and excitement of the first kiss, Chen Xing didn't know what kind of feeling he and Zhao Qing felt to each other in the first green and bulky first kiss, that time, it was too far away from the present, he had no impression, but he was sure that he was nearly thirty years old and he re-experienced the beauty and pleasure of the first kiss here in Zhang Ningning, at that moment, the whole world seemed to suddenly fall silent, except for the two of them, there was no room for anything else, The hustle and bustle of the city suddenly disappeared.

"Ning Ning, marry me." Chen Xing said such a sentence with a ghost, looking at Zhang Ningning quietly, Chen Xing was surprised by his boldness and Meng Lang, but he did not regret it, this sentence is what he really wants to say in his heart, although he said it too fast now, after all, he just pursued someone to be his girlfriend, and he proposed marriage all of a sudden, this speed is really too fast, any girl, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept, but Chen Xing did not regret that he couldn't help but say such a sentence under emotion, and the water that was spilled out of the words was spilled, Chen Xing did not regret it at all.

Zhang Ningning 'ah', her mouth was open cutely, she was still immersed in the special feeling just now, the blush on her face had not faded, but Chen Xing threw such a bombshell at her again, her head was dazed, and Zhang Ningning didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Ning Ning, I really like you, I never dared to think about you before, you are the baby granddaughter of Zhang Lao, the daughter of Governor Zhang, your parents only have such a daughter as you, they all treat you as a pearl in their palms, and I am just a person from an ordinary family, my father is an ordinary teacher, and my mother is just a small civil servant who can never get through, my family and your family are more than 108,000 miles apart, you are a noble and prominent red family, And we are ordinary grassroots, and I didn't dare to have thoughts about you before, because I was afraid of making people laugh.

I'm afraid that people will say that it is a toad that wants to eat swan meat, that I don't measure myself, and I'm also afraid that you will misunderstand that I pursue you because of your family's background and power, you know, if you don't have such a prominent family and background, I may have been able to let go of my hands and feet to pursue you, I won't have so many scruples, when I am with you, my mentality can be more balanced, because there is not such a big gap between the two of us, and I don't have to bear so much pressure, I can express my emotions more boldly, precisely because your family is too prominent, When I was with you, even if I noticed that you seemed to have a little bit of a good impression of me, I still didn't dare to cross the thunder pool half a step, I was afraid of causing any disgust from you, even a little bit, I was also afraid, because I was worried that I would not be able to be good friends with you. ”

Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ningning quietly, he had a lot of things to say in his heart, even if there were some things he felt that he shouldn't say to Zhang Ningning, but he still wanted to say it, he had an uncontrollable impulse in his heart, "Ningning, do you know, I had an unforgettable love before you." ”

Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Ningning as he spoke, and it was obvious that Zhang Ningning was obviously aroused by his words, and made a look of listening attentively.

Chen Xing smiled bitterly in his heart, let's die, today he is going to say all the words in his heart and show a true self in front of Zhang Ningning, "I used to have a girlfriend before you, that was when I was in college, we talked about it for four years, she looks okay, of course, she is definitely not as beautiful as you." ”

Chen Xing laughed self-deprecatingly, "She never said what her parents did, but from her usual words and deeds, it can be seen that she should have a good well-off family, she didn't say, I didn't ask, just like that, we have been getting along for four years, I think that the two of us can finally come together, because the distance between the two of us is not far away, her home is in Jiangcheng, from Jiangcheng to Haicheng is only about two hours by car."

At that time, I also laughed and said that those who advocate breaking up after graduation, there is no real love in college, the so-called love is just a contract, a contract that is only valid for four years in college, and it is good to talk about it and disperse after graduation, and go their separate ways, I felt that the people who preach this kind of remarks everywhere must be some college love losers comforting their frustrations, until I graduated from college, I didn't know how simple and innocent I was.

The year she graduated, she talked about her parents, talked about her family, she said that her mother is the deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City, her father is the chairman of the Guoli Group, I listened to it at the time, at first was shocked, and then there was a bad feeling, because I felt it from her expression and tone, sure enough, she said that her mother knew that she talked about her boyfriend, she was very angry, and asked her to break up with me immediately, I asked her at the time, what choice do you plan to make? ”

"What did she say?" Zhang Ningning unexpectedly interjected.

Chen Xing raised his head and glanced at her, and continued, "She said that she is willing to work with me to convince her parents, even if there are big difficulties ahead, she is not afraid, as long as I love her, she has the courage to overcome a difficulty, she said that she is mentally prepared, and asked me if I dare to go to her house, she said that her parents may make things difficult for me, if I don't want to be embarrassed, I don't have to go." ”

"Of course I said yes, I said that you are a girl who is ready to face any difficulties, what am I afraid of as a big man, no matter whether there is a minefield or an abyss in front of me, I am willing to jump for you, not to mention going to your house, the worst result is just being swept away by your parents." Chen Xing smiled calmly.

Zhang Ningning didn't speak again, she was a girl with an ethereal and elegant temperament, when she stood quietly, as if she was one with the world, so harmonious and peaceful, if she didn't know that Zhang Ningning was standing beside her, Chen Xing thought that the other party was no longer there, what Chen Xing didn't notice was that Zhang Ningning was always carefully observing the look on his face when he said these past events.

"As you should have thought of it, I went to her house, first was sneered at by her parents for a while, and then was swept out of the house, and her mother said something like, 'If the toad wants to eat swan meat, it must also have the ability to climb out of the well, do I have that ability?' In fact, her mother is indeed right, he doesn't have that ability, the level of their family is too far away from me, they have a life circle and social circle that I can't reach, and they make friends with powerful and celebrities, I don't have the ability to see what kind of scenery that world is. ”

"Since ancient times, heroes don't ask about their origins, and princes and princes have a kind of Xiangning." Zhang Ningning said softly, for the first time he took the initiative to reach out and hold Chen Xing's hand, and calmly said a fact, "My grandfather was not a child of an ordinary peasant family before, and then the Red Army passed by, and before he was sixteen years old, he threw down the farm work in the field and followed the Red Army to make a revolution, and became a boy soldier. Always the Lord of Yama carried the sedan chair and couldn't carry him away, but although he was rescued at that time, but the medical conditions at that time were limited, my grandfather finally fell ill, he arrived in winter, as long as a little cold, there will be coughing, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my grandfather was also awarded the medal, became the founding father of the republic.

In response to that sentence, there must be a blessing after the catastrophe, my grandfather's old comrades-in-arms, one by one, sick, died, many of them did not suffer the ten-year catastrophe, died in the hands of their own people, but my grandfather was hard-hit, the rebels did not torture him, the prison did not close him, and he has been carrying the ten years of purgatory, my grandfather will burst into tears every time he talks about it, he said how many old generals who have made great contributions to the republic did not die in the hands of the Japanese devils, nor did they die under the assassination of the military commanders, I didn't die on the battlefield of the civil war period, but I died at the hands of my own people, what a sad thing, my grandfather often sighed that the old comrades-in-arms died not worth it.

My grandfather often said that he would win the world immediately, but he could not sit in the world immediately, and made a lot of mistakes in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because no one had any experience in governing the country at that time, and everyone had to cross the river by feeling the stones, and learning lessons while making mistakes, which was the most stupid and the most direct statement, my grandfather laughed and said that the chairman asked him to manage the military academy, and he was dumbfounded, and told the chairman that he didn't know a few big words, how could he manage any military academy, and told the chairman that it was better to let him train the recruits. ”

Zhang Ningning laughed when he said it, "Later, my grandfather was transferred to assist the prime minister in handling the affairs of the Government Council, my grandfather said that he was completely black-eyed at that time, and he didn't understand anything, he said that he came over the years, and summed up a sentence, people are not poor, manly, you must have a strength not to admit defeat, it doesn't matter if you lose at the starting line, the key is whether you are willing to work hard to chase, Chen Xing, I believe that no matter where the hero is born, your ex-girlfriend's mother will regret it." ”

Chen Xing nodded and said with a smile, "Whether she regrets it or not, what I should do now is to be myself." ”

"Not bad." Zhang Ningning turned his head to look at Chen Xing, and suddenly said, "Then have you forgotten her now?" ”

"If I hadn't forgotten her, would I be qualified to say I like you, and am I qualified to propose to you?" Chen Xing asked Zhang Ningning rhetorically, "Since I chose to tell you about this past, it means that I have really forgotten it, I want to start my happy life again, and you are my choice in this life, I am willing to become a white-haired old man and old woman with you, Zhang Ningning, are you willing?" ”

After Chen Xing finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Ningning, the other party looked back at him quietly, without any words, Chen Xing gradually felt a little disappointed in his heart, perhaps, he was too impatient, and only today did he determine the relationship between the two, he remembered to propose to the other party, no matter which woman would hesitate, the corners of his mouth flashed a wry smile, and said, "Zhang Ningning, I know that I am indeed too anxious, but I don't regret what I said, because I feel that if I love, I should boldly pursue it, no matter whether it is success or failure, at least I have worked hard." , I have tried, I succeeded, I will be glad, glad that I have plucked up the courage, failed, I have no regrets, after all, I have pursued, and I will not feel regrets when I look back on it when I am old. ”

Chen Xing looked up into the distance, today, he said too many words, now thinking about it, his mind is blank, there are no distracting thoughts, even he almost forgot what he just said, his heart is very calm, waiting for Zhang Ningning's reply, Chen Xing is not the slightest nervous at this time, maybe just like what he said just now, no matter whether it is successful or not, as long as you work hard and try, there will be no regrets, love, how much more should it be, young people, dare to make great strides on the road of love.

"Although the love story you just said to you is very old-fashioned." Zhang Ningning smiled, "But it's the most beautiful love story I've heard, I'm thinking about what it will be like if we all become gray-haired in the future, I don't know if it will be a pair of bad old men and bad old women." ”

"Ning Ning, did you agree?" Chen Xing's eyes suddenly widened.

"What do you say?" At the last moment, Zhang Ningning hung Chen Xing's appetite, "By the way, you haven't said what you ended up just now, which of you two gave up the struggle first, I really want to know the answer." ”

Chen Xing smiled bitterly when he heard it, Zhang Ningning's thinking was really fast enough, shook his head, and said helplessly, "The final result is a little ridiculous, just when I thought she hadn't given up yet, and was still working hard for our future, she used a good news call to shatter my hope, she said that she was getting married, her fiancé is the son of a senior official of the provincial party committee, and her family is the right one, she chose to accept the arrangement given to her by her family, and she finally said three words to me, saying 'I'm sorry'."

When I was crazy to see her, she didn't answer my call, only a text message back, 'It's better to miss each other', heh, you say ridiculous, ridiculous I thought she hadn't given up, I worked hard to be admitted to the civil service, I wanted to prove to her parents, I wanted to prove that I was a young man with potential, but unfortunately in the end it was all in vain, maybe no matter how hard I tried, in the eyes of her parents, I couldn't have any great potential. ”

Zhang Ningning nodded silently, when she heard that it was not Chen Xing who gave up in the end, she finally had no doubts in her heart, she had already made the most important decision in her life, and looked at Chen Xing quietly, "Chen Xing, she doesn't know how to cherish, I will cherish you, one day, I will let everyone know that you are the best." ”

At this moment, there was no need for superfluous words, Chen Xing hugged Zhang Ningning fiercely, his eyes were moist, holding Zhang Ningning's weak and boneless body, he didn't have any thoughts, he just wanted to hold it like this, two people, regardless of each other.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Xing was reluctant to let go for a moment, and finally Zhang Ningning said shyly, "Chen Xing, this is outside, and there are still people watching." The two parted, looked at each other and smiled, and interlocked their fingers.

In the compound of the Haicheng City Government Office, Mayor Zhao Yiping's office, Zhao Yiping's secretary Hong Yan was telling him the news he had just inquired about, and when he heard that the matter was related to Chen Xing, Zhao Yiping couldn't help frowning, every time he heard this name, Zhao Yiping would always feel uncomfortable.

"One of the victims is Chen Xing's classmate, probably because of this relationship, so Chen Xing is so desperate to get justice for them." Hong Yan said her analysis, the municipal party committee has already expressed great concern about the attempted case involving Wu An, and the city government naturally can't get any news about it, and their own leaders and Huang Kunming are originally fighting openly and secretly, and this matter may implicate the deputy mayor Li Zhongmin, Zhao Yiping is also concerned, and hurriedly asked her to find out the news, and when Hong Yan learned that one of the victims was a classmate with Chen Xing, she also took it for granted that Chen Xing was helping her classmates. Chen Xing and the two female victims did not think about the relationship between men and women at all.

"Huang Kunming wants to make a big fuss about this matter, if he is allowed to do it like this, maybe he will really be caught by something, Li Zhongmin is really, he is also an old cadre, and he is so unreliable." Zhao Yiping also called Huang Kunming's name in front of the secretary, which shows that the contradiction between the two party and government leaders has reached something.

Zhao Yiping muttered to herself, and she didn't know which evil fire it was, "Let Chen Xing come over, this kid hasn't come to the city government to report his work until now, and there is still a superior in his eyes." ”
