Chapter 34: Borrowing Books

That night, after more than an hour of careful consideration, Xiao Fei finally reluctantly made a difficult decision: in the future, he must restrain his love for Xia Ying, and he must not have any ambiguous actions with her, let alone have a substantive ambiguous relationship with her. Otherwise, the relationship between himself and Zhou Chengjie will break down completely, and he may even face unpredictable and serious consequences......

Although this decision was made, Xiao Fei felt very painful, and he couldn't sleep in bed for a long time: in his mind, Xia Ying was the most perfect and excellent woman, and she was also the image of his ideal girlfriend and even wife. However, it is such a goddess who looks tall and arrogant, beautiful as a fairy, but she cheated during her marriage, and she was still a "little three" for others, what a ""!

The most important thing is: even if he knows that she may have a loss of virtue and knows that she may be Zhou Chengjie's lover, as long as he remembers the situation when he secretly held hands with her twice, Xiao Fei will have a feeling of ecstasy and heartbreaking. It's like a drug, you know it's harmful, it's toxic, but you can't help but think about it, taste it, and even want to try it again......

For the next two days, Xiao Fei and his fellow travelers hiked through the vast forests of Shuangxiong Mountain, until 4 p.m. on Sunday, when they walked out of the primeval forest and arrived at a village where the returning vehicle was parked.

Because there was no signal on his mobile phone when he was walking through the forest, Xiao Fei simply turned off his mobile phone. After walking out of the forest area, he turned on his mobile phone as soon as possible and found that there were five or six missed calls, all of which were from Xia Ying.

Xiao Fei didn't want to return the phone, and went directly to his hometown nearby with a donkey friend for dinner, but thinking that it was too ruthless and too much, he called back a phone call, and as soon as he connected, he heard Xia Ying anxiously ask: "Xiao Xiaozi, are you back?" Why can't your phone get through? I've already bought the food, how long will it take you to get home when you come back to stir-fry? ”

Xiao Fei said in an apologetic tone: "Sister Ying, I'm really sorry, we have just walked out of the forest now, and we haven't gotten on the return car yet, so I guess we can't rush back to stir-fry vegetablesβ€”β€”"

Xia Ying immediately interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, then you hurry back, I'll stir-fry tonight, and when you come back to eat together, you have to hurry up!" ”

Xiao Fei hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Sister Ying, we have a donkey friend's hometown near Shuangxiong Mountain, and he asked us to go to his house to eat authentic local chicken, so I won't come back for dinner, you don't have to wait for me!" ”

Xia Ying was stunned for a long time when she heard him say that he wouldn't go back to eat, and suddenly scolded: "You bastard, liar!" After scolding, he hung up the phone......

In order to avoid embarrassment after meeting Xia Ying, Xiao Fei deliberately went to the office to look at the computer and saw eleven o'clock after returning to the county seat after having dinner at the traveler's house.

Just as he was about to take off his clothes and take a bath, someone suddenly knocked on the door, intuitively, Xiao Fei felt that the person knocking on the door should be Xia Ying, and he couldn't help but secretly complain: If it was really Xia Ying, she must have come to ask her about the guilt, how to explain the no-show to her later?

Before he could figure it out, Xia Ying's voice sounded outside: "Xiao Xiaozi, open the door!" I know you're back, don't pretend to be asleep! ”

Xiao Fei had no choice but to put on his half-stripped shirt again, pulled his slippers to the door, opened the door, showed an embarrassed smile, and asked, "Sister Ying, I just got home, is there something wrong?" ”

At the same time as questioning, he was mentally prepared to be scolded by Xia Ying, but to his surprise, Xia Ying uncharacteristically did not blame him, and did not even mention his failure at all, he found a pair of slippers on the shoe cabinet to put on, and asked lightly while walking in the direction of the study: "Do you have any good books at home?" During this time, I had a little insomnia at night, and I wanted to find a few good books to read before going to bed, maybe it would help me sleep. ”

When Xiao Fei heard that she was going to borrow a book to read, he was a little stunned at first, but immediately reacted: borrowing a book was just an excuse for her, and it is estimated that she has been waiting at home for her to come back, so she has not slept yet. Moreover, she must have been listening to the movement here, and when she got off the elevator and opened the door, she heard a noise, so she made an excuse to come and meet her!

After this thought popped up, Xiao Fei's heart couldn't help but jump again: Could it be that she really fell in love with herself? I remember that there is a classic quote in Mr. Qian Zhongshu's novel "The Siege": "Everyone knows that women refuse to spend money on books." A man is willing to buy candy, clothing, and cosmetics and give them to a woman, but he is only willing to borrow books from her, and if he does not buy them, he will not give them. What is the rationale for this? If you borrow it, you have to pay it back, and if you borrow it and pay it back, a book can be used as an excuse for two contacts, and there is no trace. This is the inevitable preliminary of the love between men and women, and as soon as you borrow a book, it will be a big problem. ”

During dinner at Xia Ying's house on Friday, Xiao Fei went to her study to take a look, and there were basically no other types of books on the shelves, except for some political monographs, public security business books, and the four famous books in hardcover, which proved that she did not usually like to read. So, now that she suddenly came to her house to borrow books, is it what Mr. Qian Zhongshu said, "finding an excuse"?

So, he asked very casually: "Sister Ying, what type of books do you like to read?" Fiction or prose or poetry? I don't have much else here, but I'm still quite rich in books. ”

Xia Ying hesitated, shook her head and said, "I don't know what books I want to read, why don't you recommend a few to me!" ”

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "If you want to read some books to relax before going to bed, I recommend you to read a few books, one is Mr. Liang Shiqiu's "Yashe Sketches". This is a collection of essays, and each of the essays in it is lively and interesting, and the writing is brilliant, and the language is humorous, which is best read before bedtime; The other book is Mr. Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey" or "Notes on Mountain Dwelling", these two books are some of Mr. Yu Qiuyu's impressions of visiting Chinese civilization, expressing his feelings about the rise and fall of civilization, his appeal to respect for culture and his yearning for a sound personality, which are worth reading. ”

Xia Ying stared at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said sincerely: "Xiao Xiaozi, no wonder Director Zhou said that you are talented just now, judging from the books you have read and your speech and demeanor, you are indeed talented, and you also have a good martial arts, which can be regarded as both civil and military, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future." ”

Xiao Fei didn't expect her to suddenly sigh like this, and scratched her scalp a little embarrassedly and said, "Sister Ying, you have won the award!" I'm still a petty civil servant who has been punished, what can I do in the future? Hehe! ”
