Chapter 18 Nestling in the Creek

After listening to Li Xiaoning's words, Tang Hui smiled and said, "Brother, I praised you for being smart just now, why are you confused again in a blink of an eye?" I'm just talking about it as an analogy, and it's just a rhyme. Don't worry, as I told you at the beginning, Secretary Liu will never mention this matter again. I won't go into detail with you, but you can slowly understand it yourself in the future, and I will only tell you what to do in the future......"

Li Xiaoning listened with wide eyes.

Tang Hui took a breath and said: "In the future, no matter who gives the leader a gift, no matter what it is, as long as it is handed to you, you must not tell the leader, and it doesn't matter if he sees it or not." Aren't you going to send him home? After he goes upstairs, you follow him upstairs, put your things in his house, turn around and leave, don't say a word, don't even look at him, pretend that nothing happened, you have never been to his house at all. Got it? ”

Li Xiaoning naturally understands Tang Hui's words, but Liu Qifeng and Li Xiaoning don't understand. The kind of approach that Tang Hui said is of course good for dealing with other leaders, but it is for Liu Qifeng...... Does he eat this too?

Tang Hui saw suspicion on Li Xiaoning's face, he didn't speak, but smiled, smiling responsibly.

From Tang Hui's smile, Li Xiaoning felt that he might really understand now, and he didn't speak, because he didn't believe all of Tang Hui's words, nor did he dare not believe it, but he really understood.

When he got out of the car, Li Xiaoning didn't say anything, and went upstairs, not mentioning the gifts in the trunk, as if he had completely forgotten about it......

Back in the dormitory, Kong Xiangrong was not there as always, Li Xiaoning plugged in the water heater and prepared to boil water for a bath, he was dizzy now, not only because of the three bottles of high-grade liquor he drank at the dinner, but also because of the words that Liu Qifeng taught him after coming back and the words that Tang Hui and he said were working.

Li Xiaoning felt that his face was hot, so he washed his face with cold water in the sink, and just picked up a towel and wiped it twice, and his mobile phone rang......

"In the middle of the night, which guy doesn't sleep and comes to harass me?" Li Xiaoning muttered irritably, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and saw that it was Cheng Xiaoxi's, and then remembered that before going to the development zone, he promised to invite Cheng Xiaoxi to have supper......

"Hey, Brook?" Li Xiaoning felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, the matter of releasing beautiful pigeons was a bit unauthentic.

"Li Xiaoning, didn't you promise to invite me to supper tonight?" Cheng Xiaoxi's voice came, faintly dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, Brook. I didn't mean to release your pigeons, I came back too late. Otherwise, let's do it another day! Li Xiaoning said apologetically.

"Li Xiaoning!" Cheng Xiaoxi's tone suddenly increased eight times, "You take advantage of me!" ”

"What?" Li Xiaoning asked puzzled, but then reacted, he accidentally said a joke with connotation, and quickly explained, "Xiaoxi, I didn't mean that......" Before he finished speaking, he reacted again, saying that it was even more inappropriate, and he didn't know how to say it for a while.

"Alright, alright. I won't tease you. Cheng Xiaoxi said with a smile, "Open the door!" ”

"Open the door?" Li Xiaoning said in surprise, "Are you outside the door?" ”

"What do you say?" Cheng Xiaoxi said angrily.

Li Xiaoning didn't expect Cheng Xiaoxi to appear in front of his door so late, so he hurriedly went over to open the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Cheng Xiaoxi standing outside the door with an angry look on his face.

"I saw the No. 1 car of the municipal party committee stopped in front of the building, and I knew that you were back." Cheng Xiaoxi said as he entered the house, walked up to Li Xiaoning and frowned again, "Why is there such a big smell of wine?" How much alcohol have you drunk? ”

Although Cheng Xiaoxi didn't say it explicitly, Li Xiaoning already knew that she must have been waiting for herself, and a warmth rose in her heart, and she said with a smile: "I don't know how much I drank." There are two or three bottles. ”

"Drinking hurts your body, it's better for you to drink less!" There was a trace of distress on Cheng Xiaoxi's face.

"Where do I want to drink?" Li Xiaoning said with a wry smile, "Aren't they all forced to pour it?" Today, Secretary Liu asked me to drink for him, and the officials and men in the development zone were like crazy, and they couldn't wait to put me down on the spot. ”

"The result?" Cheng Xiaoxi glanced at Li Xiaoning and said.

"The result?" Li Xiaoning smiled slyly and said, "Aren't I still standing?" Then of course they are the ones who lie down. ”

"Alright, don't blow it." Cheng Xiaoxi seemed to be angry, but in fact said with concern, "Look at you, your eyes are red, you must be very uncomfortable, right?" ”

"It's alright!" Li Xiaoning said indifferently, "I just feel a little dizzy, it's fine." ”

"You feel okay now, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll know it's going to be uncomfortable." Cheng Xiaoxi gave Li Xiaoning another hygienic look, then looked around and said, "Where did you put your tea?" ”

"Tea?" Li Xiaoning asked puzzled, but then came to his senses and said embarrassedly, "Look at me, this big horse, you finally came here, I can't even think of pouring you a cup of tea, damn it, damn it." However, I don't usually drink tea, Kong Xiangrong usually doesn't live here, and there is really no tea in this house. There is boiled water, you won't dislike it, right? ”

"I hate you big-headed ghost." Cheng Xiaoxi rolled his eyes at Li Xiaoning again, pursed his lips and said, "I'm going to make tea for you to sober up." You wait, I'll go back and get it for you. ”

"No need. It's so late, you don't have to be busy. Li Xiaoning hurriedly said. Seeing that Cheng Xiaoxi cared about him, he had a feeling in his heart that quietly arose, and he couldn't tell what it felt, but it was comfortable. He has grown so big, except for his mother, he has only had a relatively close relationship with two women, one is Lu Xiaomei and the other is Tang Wei, but in both of them, he has never felt what he feels today.

"Are you alright?" Cheng Xiaoxi still looked disbelieving, stepped forward, put his hand on Li Xiaoning's forehead and touched it.

The moment Cheng Xiaoxi's jade hand touched his forehead, Li Xiaoning felt as if an electric current rushed from his forehead to his toes, and he almost screamed in comfort, he had physical contact with a woman, it was not the first time, but this feeling was new.

Li Xiaoning didn't dare to covet this kind of pleasure, so he hurriedly took a step back and said with a smile, "I'm really fine, don't believe me." As he spoke, he made a small ballet turn with one foot as the axis.

"Flutter!" Cheng Xiaoxi was amused by him.

"Huh!" Li Xiaoning also smirked.

After the laughter stopped, neither of them spoke again, and the room instantly fell silent, but the atmosphere gradually became strange.

Cheng Xiaoxi couldn't bear this depression first, she waved her hand and said, "Since you're okay, then I'll go back." ”

"This is leaving, huh?" Li Xiaoning was not polite, but he didn't know why he said this, maybe he was hoping that Cheng Xiaoxi would stay for a while, so he said without words, "Aren't you going to have supper?" Go for it now! No more re-election! At the end of this sentence, Li Xiaoning said it deliberately, maybe it was the lust in the man's bones that was causing trouble, and he really wanted to take advantage of Cheng Xiaoxi.

Cheng Xiaoxi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You have no sincerity at all, when did this happen?" Still going out for a late-night snack? ”

Li Xiaoning took out his mobile phone and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock, so he smiled embarrassedly and said: "Xiaoxi, I'm really sorry, it's my fault this time, another day, no, I will make up for it another day." ”

"Forget it, forget it, I won't bother with you, since you're okay, then I'll go back." Cheng Xiaoxi said as he walked out the door. But just as she was about to walk out of the door, she suddenly heard a sound of "grunt, grunt", Cheng Xiaoxi looked back, only to find that Li Xiaoning was holding her stomach with her hand in her hand, with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Cheng Xiaoxi's brows furrowed again, and he said angrily: "Did you patronize and drink at the banquet and didn't eat?" ”

"I ate a few bites, but then I vomited them out." Li Xiaoning blushed and said, he was really embarrassed, as if he had made a fart in front of Cheng Xiaoxi.

"I really can't help you. After drinking so much wine, if you don't eat something, your stomach will be bad! Cheng Xiaoxi walked into the door again angrily, "What do you have to eat here?" I'll make you some. ”

"Eat? Yes, there are still a few buckets of instant noodles in that cabinet, so I'll just do it myself. Li Xiaoning hurriedly excused himself and said.

"Instant noodles are also called eaten?" Cheng Xiaoxi's eyes widened, "You can't just have instant noodles, right?" ”

"I'm alone, I usually eat in the cafeteria, what do you do with so much food in the house?" Li Xiaoning said with a smile, "Actually, instant noodles are very delicious, and I didn't get tired of eating them every day when I was in college." ”

"Eating instant noodles as a staple food is really yours, didn't you have a girlfriend at the time? That's what Lu Xiaomei, for her, you don't even care about such an excellent girl as Xixi, that's how she takes care of you? Cheng Xiaoxi said angrily.

Hearing Cheng Xiaoxi mention Lu Xiaomei, Li Xiaoning's face darkened and he didn't speak.

Cheng Xiaoxi already knew about Li Xiaoning and Lu Xiaomei's breakup, and knew that when he said this, it was a bit of a scar to reveal people's scars, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he slowed down and said, "Don't say it, you go to my place, I'll get you something to eat." ”

"It's so late, isn't it?" Li Xiaoning said with excuses.

Cheng Xiaoxi frowned and said, "If you want to go with me, just follow me, what are you doing pretending to do?" What's convenient or inconvenient? ”

When he was in college, the two of them dealt with each other a lot, and the relationship was also close, Li Xiaoning had already learned Cheng Xiaoxi's cheerful personality, and knew that if he continued to resign, he would definitely be educated by her, so he had to smile and said: "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey, please!" ”

Cheng Xiaoxi's residence is actually in the same building as Li Xiaoning's residence, both of which are single apartments of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee, but one lives on the third floor and the other lives on the fifth floor.

The two climbed two floors, and Cheng Xiaoxi walked to a door and took out the key to open the door.

"You live alone?" Li Xiaoning asked when he saw this.

"When I was in the dormitory, I happened to be single, so I had a room to myself, and if there were other people in the room, could I call you?" Cheng Xiaoxi said as he opened the door.

"Wouldn't that be a lonely man and a widow in the same room?" Li Xiaoning thought in his heart, but he didn't say it.
