Early in the morning of 29 November, he returned to the city for an emergency meeting. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Ji and Mingwen talked alone for a while. He affirmed Mingwen's decisive decision in dealing with the case of two mine pullers who died in a brawl, thus avoiding a national dispute. Although Mingwen was affirmed, he had all kinds of tastes in his heart. Because the deceased was an ethnic minority, and his family had major disagreements over the amount of compensation and the outcome of the settlement, they joined forces with people of the same ethnic group in several counties and cities to besiege Xiapan County, resulting in the hospitalization of a deputy county magistrate. Due to the non-otherness of the incident, Mingwen and the secretary of the county party committee finally reached an agreement that the town where the enterprise is located will pay 100,000 yuan, the village where the enterprise is located will pay 100,000 yuan, the enterprise involved in the association will pay 200,000 yuan, and the car owners of both sides will pay a total of 170,000 yuan in proportion. The matter quickly subsided, but Mingwen felt an unprecedented pressure, and when Hu Ji mentioned the matter again, he seemed to have done something bad and was exposed in public.

On the way to Zijin's house, Yang Xueren called and gave him a lot of advice about his work in Xiapan County. The originally heavy mood was even heavier, and he walked to the door of Zijin's house in a trance. The doorbell rang for a long time and no one opened it, and he stood there like that, as if he had lost consciousness. The door suddenly opened, and he subconsciously walked in. The other party asked, who are you looking for? He found that there was a strange woman standing in front of him, clear and delicate like a corn plant in a field under the sun, her eyes were big and full of affectionate complaints, her face was round and her plump figure looked full of charm, he was stunned, a little overwhelmed. He thought he was in the wrong place, and he said sorry and retreated. Retreating outside the door, he looked at his surroundings, he thought about it carefully, and he confirmed that he was not in the wrong place. He thought, it was impossible for Zijin not to tell him when he moved! He decided to ask for clarification, and when he looked up, he saw that the woman was looking at him. He asked, "Does Zijin still live here?" ”

"You shouldn't be Yang Mingwen!" She nodded when she saw Mingwen, and then said, "Oh, you are Yang Mingwen." I'm Zijin's friend Xia Hui, and she's been waiting for you for a day. ”

The two entered the living room, Zijin sat on the sofa, and when she saw Mingwen, she was like a nuclear bomb that had been dropped in deep water, and her tone trembled a little, saying, "Did you just come back?" Mingwen walked over and sat next to her and said, "I came back in the morning, and I had a half-day meeting." You okay? At this time, Xia Hui brought a glass of water to Mingwen. Zi Jin hurriedly introduced: "This is my friend-"

"We've just met. I just haven't shaken hands yet, so let's shake hands now! Xia Hui stretched out her hand as she spoke. Mingwen hurriedly got up and stretched out his hand.

At first, everyone asked him how he was doing in Xiapan County, but Mingwen generally didn't answer the questions very positively, and he didn't like to mix work and life together. The topic naturally shifted to other aspects, and Mingwen rarely picked up, he was more like a full listener. Chatting and chatting, the two of them heard Mingwen snoring slightly at the same time, they glanced at Mingwen and found that he was asleep on the sofa, and the two of them stared at each other and smiled. Xia Hui subconsciously looked at Mingwen quietly, he was haggard and preoccupied, even the appearance of falling asleep seemed unprecedentedly tired, so that when she first saw Mingwen, she couldn't believe that this was the person Zijin liked, and now she still didn't believe that this was true.

The two chatted in a low voice, but they faintly heard Mingwen talking in his sleep, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. At this time, the mobile phone rang, and Mingwen suddenly woke up, and he startled himself. Zijin looked at him with concern, while Xia Hui looked at him inquiringly. He looked at the two of them, smiled embarrassedly, and said, I actually fell asleep. He stood up, pulled out his phone, said sorry and went out to answer the phone.

Mingwen came in after answering the phone, his state was much better than just now, there was a kind of fullness, I don't know if it was given by sleep or by the phone. He joined in their conversation, like a different person. Xia Hui always looked at Mingwen quietly intentionally or unintentionally, and she found that Mingwen's emotions were infectious, his eyes were full of trust, his somewhat thin face gave people a kind of strength, and the whole person rose with a heroic spirit. She sometimes finds herself a little out of shape, and whenever she does, she always sneaks a glance at Zijin.

Mingwen's phone rang again, he took out his phone and looked at it, pressing it to mute. Zijin asked why he didn't answer. He said, I want to accompany you and don't want to go and drink with them today. At this time, the phone rang again, and Zijin said, take it, it's not good. It's okay, Mingwen pressed the mute again as he spoke.

When it was almost dark, Cang Di drove the car and found Zijin here. As soon as he entered the living room, he said: "I thought you were with Ke Yue, but when I called, Ke Yue actually said that she was not in Xingcheng, let alone with you." Mingwen glared at Cang Liao fiercely, but Cang Liao still said to himself: "I don't believe it, I went to her house to look for it, and then ran to her newly opened restaurant, Shan Xiaohui told me that you may be here, I really didn't expect to find you." ”

"That's it! When you're done, you sit down. This is Zijin, let me tell you, she is my girlfriend, this time you understand! Mingwen pointed at Zi Jin, and then pointed at Xia Hui and said, "This is Zi Jin's best friend Xia Hui." ”

"I already knew, I heard Xiaohui say it. My name is Cang Li, hello sister-in-law. Cang Yan stretched out her hand to Zijin as she spoke, and Zijin also stretched out her hand, but her face was flushed, and there was shame and happiness in this red. He and Xia Hui also shook hands, couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, thinking, Zi Jinmei, her friends are also beautiful, it seems that beauty and beauty can be friends. In the end, he said to Mingwen: "My brother, even if you give me face today, my friend is really important to me, and my future depends on this time, so you can accept my invitation!" ”

"If I don't go, I won't go, and I'm not going to club like that now."

"I know, I've already changed places. Is my friend still waiting there? Sister-in-law, you can say a few words, he likes to listen to women the most. ”

"He doesn't listen to all women." Xia Hui looked at Mingwen and said, "Is it still targeted?" Ruzi Jin, or—" She deliberately didn't finish, but Mingwen was forced into an embarrassing corner by these words. I saw Zijin say to Mingwen: "You go, don't take away from other people's kindness, and relax yourself by the way." ”

"Yes, relax. Let's go together. ”

"Let Xia Hui go with you. I'm in a wheelchair and it's inconvenient. ”

When Cang Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he slowly reacted, and he hurriedly said, "It's okay, I have a car." He insisted that everyone go together, and he was afraid that he would regret it. He didn't expect Zijin to be a person who decided not to look back, so naturally, Xia Hui would not be able to go.

Along the way, Cang Liao was trying to figure out why Mingwen chose Zijin instead of Keyue, and he suddenly realized that he was speaking out of proportion today, which was all due to his being too excited. When he arrived at the "Mingyue Restaurant", Mingwen looked at the signboard and said, how to come up with this name. Cang Yan wanted to explain the reason, but after thinking about it, he endured it, and only said, "This name is quite beautiful." When I entered the restaurant and saw Shan Xiaohui, Mingwen seemed to understand the meaning of the name. Mingwen found that Xiaohui looked strange today, especially the way she looked at him made him feel uncomfortable and angry.

After entering the private room, Cang Liao introduced Tang Meng and Mingwen, and then held a banquet. After three rounds of drinking, Cang Liao talked about opening a mine with Tang Meng in Xiapan County. The plaintext says:

"No matter who it is, as long as you come according to the principle, I am welcome to come to our county to invest, and I strongly support it. This principle is the law, the charter, and the relevant procedures. Cang Liao is my godbrother, I will say it on the table, if anyone bribes and is greasy, I don't care what he comes from, as long as he doesn't get me, as long as I am in power for a day, I will resolutely not agree. Similarly, as long as you come according to the principle, whoever wants to disguise or directly card you in Xiapan County, I, Yang Mingwen, will not agree. Okay, so we've got new friends with each other today, so let's not talk about work. ”

"Okay, with your words, I'll make you a friend. That's it, from now on, let's just drink without talking about work. Tang Meng raised his glass and drank it all with Mingwen.

The wine banquet of the three people, although it seemed thin, they chatted happily. Mingwen felt that Tang Meng was a cheerful person, and felt that he was not deliberately pretentious because of his special background. This beautiful atmosphere made them ignore the time for a while, and when Mingwen returned home, they felt tired and tired.

Early on Saturday morning, Mingwen arrived at Zijin's house, but he didn't expect Xia Hui to be there, and Xia Hui didn't leave until the afternoon. Mingwen found that Zijin was very different from usual, and he didn't think much about it, thinking that this was Zijin's reaction to celebrating his birthday.

When it was just dark, Zijin asked to go to Mingwen's to spend her unforgettable birthday. Mingwen thought that she was going to meet her parents, and he seemed very excited, and he was ready to introduce her to his parents and propose to her at the same time. She said, I just want to see where you live alone, where you are waiting for me, in your waiting I quietly spend the most beautiful moment of my life, I just want to be waited by you, in a place where no one disturbs, it belongs to the two of us, just to the two of us, even if it is short, it is unforgettable.

When he arrived at Mingwen's house, Mingwen turned on the air conditioner first, for fear that Zijin would freeze. Then, he went out and bought candles, cakes, and red wine. The music sounded, lingering in the night, and the candlelight swayed sadly in the space without civilized lights, quietly making people float outside time and space, warm like the warm wind in the air conditioner floating in the air. Today, as long as possible, Zijin will always snuggle up in Mingwen's arms, wrap his hands tightly around his waist, rest his head on his shoulder, or put his face on his face, or look at him with his head up......

"Mingwen, you know what, you are my favorite person? If I could, I would give my whole life to you in the form of love, as I do now, and I feel as if I belong to you completely. ”

"Me too, Zijin, no matter what tomorrow is, I just want to love you well. Love you, make you happy, make you proud. I will spoil you forever with love, let you be coquettish, let you be like a little princess, as long as you like, I am willing to do that. Mingwen affectionately hugged Zijin tighter, Zijin's breath wandered in his touch, he was like a rough star immersed in the universe, and the universe was full of light and sweet taste, which made people's feelings touch infinite aftertaste.

"Am I your only one? Can I be your eternity? Time changes, streamers turn again, will I always be your yearning? Zijin snuggled deeper as he spoke, as if he was about to dissolve into Mingwen's heart. After speaking, she raised her gaze and stared at Mingwen. Under the charm of her gaze, Mingwen's whole person fell into a soft time, and he covered her lips with his lips. This kiss, life is intoxicating, life is forgetful, and the whole world is sweet. For a long time, in the intoxicating love, everything is instantaneous, everything is eternal, time is like a shell, covering the moment, but uncovering is eternal.

"Zijin, will you marry me? Let me spend my life loving you, caring for you, and guarding you, just like that for a lifetime. Didn't you ask me how much I love you? For you, you can not want tomorrow, you can not want the future, you can not have a career, and the whole life can be as convenient as it is, and even the whole life can be contributed. Marry me, be my wife, forever wife, poor or rich, Shunda or adversity, we protect each other, even if the whole world abandons us, we all have to be together until one day we die of old age together, happy old age. Zijin, marry me, marry me for the rest of your life, okay? Mingwen looked at her amorous face, and he couldn't wait to die for her instantly, and died happily in her arms, with her love still on his lips.

Zijin caressed his face with her hand, her eyes were a little moist, and this moist luster shone in the depths of Mingwen's eyes. You look at me, I look at you, in each other's gaze, the Milky Way can be shallow, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl no longer have a lonely boundary. Mingwen gently rubbed Zijin's hair, kissed Zijin's lips shallowly, and took Zijin into his arms warmly, his life was as transparent as emptiness, and he was enriched. Zijin hid in Mingwen's arms, like a wounded swallow returning from a long flight hiding under the wings of a lover, quiet, through life, but in the absurdity he saw the green reeds.

Mingwen wanted to light a birthday candle for Zijin, but Zijin hugged him tighter and didn't let him move. She said: "Mingwen, don't leave me, hug me for a minute longer, hug me for another minute, let me breathe in your breath all the time, please give me a little more warmth, don't leave, okay?" ”

"Aren't we in this together. Come, let me light a candle for you, make a wish, and then cut the cake together, and you have to eat some cake for your birthday. ”

"No, I'm just going to let you hold me like this, not to leave, not even for a second, you have to hold me like this tonight. I don't want a birthday cake, I don't want to make a wish, I just want you to hold me, just like now, you hold it all the time, even if your arm is very sore, you have to hold me and I can't let go. ”

"Little fool, don't just hug for a night, you won't be tired for a lifetime, and you won't be sour. Even if I am tired, even if it is sour, I am reluctant to throw it away. How could I leave you behind! ”

"If one day, I leave you, will you miss me?"

"Yes! If it's too long, I think I'm going crazy. ”

"If one day, I leave and don't come back, will you hate me a little more, or will you miss me a little more out of love, or just as much, until one day I will completely disappear from your memory."

"What do you say?"

"You answer me, you must answer me."

"It's your birthday today, why are you old if you are. Besides, will we be separated? Even if they are separated, will they be gone forever, can't love pass through everything? ”

"You say, if one day, for some reason, I make a choice that makes you temporarily miserable, will you hate me? This pain will be healed quickly in time, but at the time it gave you something unbearable, will you hate me, at least at that time, you will hate me to death, and you will not even forgive me for the rest of your life. Will you? ”

"Don't say you're going to leave me forever and completely tomorrow, won't it be like this, Zijin?!"

"I just want to know how much I carry in your heart, and you answer me, how will you hate me then?"

"How about hating you with love? Ruthless enough! ”

"Do you really hate me that much?"

"Little fool, how can you. No matter what you do, I will never hate you, how can I hate you! You know, I love you forever. ”

"Tonight, I will sleep in your arms, and you will hold me, hold me, and coax me to sleep with the love of your life."

"Then I will carry you to bed and sleep, and I will be by your side, and you will lie in my arms; Or, I'll take the bed quilt and cover it for you, I'm afraid you'll get sick. ”

"No, that's it, I won't feel cold at all, and I won't get sick, you have to hold me like this, you can't move."

"I don't move, I won't go, I just hold you, as long as you like, I will hold you like this, hold you and let you sleep, hold you and laugh when you dream."

Zijin was quiet in Mingwen's arms, holding Mingwen tightly with both hands, and resting his head on Mingwen's chest as if he wanted to hide himself in Mingwen's chest. Mingwen hugged Zijin deeply, her hair touching his face, warm and sweet, his heartbeat rising and falling with her breathing. The coldness of the night lingers outside the door, and inside the door is the warmth of the night, with candlelight, music melting, heating steaming, and time filling.

On this night, Mingwen listened to Zijin's breathing, he was unusually awake, he had never been, he felt that he was full of energy to an extreme, this may be love. He thought of Ke Yue, and his heart ached slightly; He thought of Wen Duo, and his heart was extremely ashamed, and the guilt was like a vine that drew his soul; He stared at Zijin, a kind of guilt, deep, like a claw scratching to make him unprovoked a kind of sourness. He had failed a love and betrayed a friendship, and now, how could he hurt a pure man again. He hopes that tomorrow will come soon, and from tomorrow, he will start again, love someone, make up his mind to love, no more hatred, no more guilt, no more hesitation. But he was reluctant to come like this tomorrow, he hoped that the night would be incomparably long, and Zijin would always be in his arms, and the sky would never dawn. He took a deep breath, the night with longing was actually very beautiful, so beautiful that people missed it, and so beautiful that it made people melancholy.
