Chapter 36 Oath of Sovereignty

"Dad, don't go." The 6-year-old girl dragged the corner of a man's clothes, her eyes were red, and her white face was so aggrieved.

The tall and mighty man, wearing an orange and yellow firefighting uniform, reached out and touched the little girl's head: "Shallow and obedient, Dad will buy you a birthday cake in a while." ”

Behind the man was a five-story hotel, billowing smoke, and from time to time bursts of fire erupted from the dark windows. The sound of a heat wave mixed with sparks rushing out of the window, and the collapse of load-bearing walls was like a bursting volcano......

The little girl hugged the man's calf and cried: "Dad, don't go, I don't want you to go......"

The man's dark face was full of traces of billowing smoke, and he was ruthless, broke the girl's fleshy little hand, and plunged into the sea of fire.

The little girl was dragged by the crowd behind her, and with a loud 'boom', the ruins of the wall in the flames collapsed, and the girl was protected by the people around her, isolating all the hustle and bustle. When I opened my eyes again, the five-story hotel had been razed to the ground in an instant.

Before the man could run into the hotel, he was completely engulfed in flames.

The little girl looked at the sea of fire stupidly, unable to say half a word, as if there were nails under her feet, nailing her to the spot, and her throat seemed to be choked by someone's hand, tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter......

The voices around her seemed to have been silenced, and all that was left in the world was her rapid and faint breathing......

The jingle bell scared Lu Qian from his dream. She sat up in shock and wiped a handful of cold sweat from her face.

I don't know how many times this dream has been repeated, and each time it can drag her from the light into an endless abyss. The noise outside was a clarion call for the soldiers to get up and go out for exercise.

Lu Qian glanced at the time, only to know that he had been haunted by nightmares all night.

There was an unread message in WeChat, Lu Qian opened it, and saw Qiao Shen's avatar, which was a delicate model of an airplane.

The greeting he sent half an hour ago - [Good morning, Lu Qian. 】

These words, like a glimmer of light penetrating into the darkness, illuminated Lu Qian's sight and pulled her back to reality from the nightmare. She put away her phone, got up, dressed, folded the quilt, washed, and did it all in one go.

At ten o'clock at six, when Lu Qian stood on the playground again, it was the high-spirited fire brigade overlord again. Lead the team out of the exercise, unequivocally.

It was a rare clean morning, and the team did not receive any police missions. But the more pure it is, the more uneasy Lu Qian feels. No, just after lunch, trouble came to the door.

Lu Qian received a notice from the gate post that a young lady surnamed Du was looking for her. Lu Qian thought about it carefully, the young lady surnamed Du, except for Xiao Bozhou's current girlfriend, she really couldn't think of anyone else.

Du Manfei came to see her on the eve of her wedding, what good thing could it be? But everyone has found the door, what can Lu Qian do? It's not a head-on battle!

Taking advantage of the lunch break, she took Du Manfei to the office.

"Sit down." Lu Qian took a cup of water with a disposable paper cup and handed it to Du Manfei.

Du Manfei took it and said politely: "Thank you." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"Zhouzhou and I are engaged next Saturday, did you receive the invitation?"

Lu Qian was silent and motioned for Du Manfei to continue performing.

Du Manfei clenched his glass of water and said, "Will you attend?" ”

Lu Qian smiled angrily: "Then what do you want me to attend?" Or don't you want me to attend? ”

"Of course not."

"Don't want to?" Lu Qian was a little surprised.

Du Manfei is arrogant and domineering, the junior is on top, and now his wish has come true, and he is about to tie the knot with Xiao Bozhou. According to her urine nature, she should wish that Lu Qian would attend the wedding and humiliate Lu Qian with the attitude of a victor, is she going to do the opposite?

Du Manfei took a sip of water to relieve her tension, she put down the water cup and said to Lu Qian: "Actually, I want to thank you." ”

"Thank you for curing my cataract and seeing the essence of Xiao Bozhou, a scumbag?"

"He's not a scumbag!" Du Manfei was a little excited.

Lu Qian shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and looked at her with a smile: "It's good if you're happy." ”

"Actually, before the day you were arrested at the police station, he never mentioned marriage to me. He was willing to spend money for me and was willing to spend time with me......"

"What kind of person my ex-boyfriend is, I don't want to hear from his current girlfriend." Lu Qian glanced at his watch, "If you don't have anything else, I'm sorry, I'm going to take a lunch break." ”

"You listen to me when I'm done." Du Jixiao was in a hurry and grabbed Lu Qian's wrist.

Lu Qian shook her off unhappily: "What's the matter, say." Don't move your hands or feet. ”

"I want to say to you — I'm sorry." Du Manfei hung his head and said, "Whether you believe it or not, but at first I didn't think about breaking you up with the boat." I'll admit, I'm a money worshipper, and I just fell in love with his money at first. You know, the fashion industry is not easy to mix, I don't have extraordinary talent, let alone a specialty, the only thing I can rely on is this skin, the connections and financial resources of the boat, which can provide me with a good platform. I spent the night with him and he paved the way for me, which was supposed to be a fair deal, I just wanted to take a shortcut. ”

Since the incident, Lu Qian has experienced being split, breaking up, and healing alone, but he has never had a good chat with Xiao Bozhou, let alone tearing up with Du Manfei like other women who have been split.

After listening to Du Manfei's explanation, the corners of Lu Qian's mouth hooked up a cool smile: "Fair, indeed very fair." You are indeed taking a shortcut, but you know best whether the end will lead to success or destruction. ”

Lu Qian's indifferent and sarcastic smile stung Du Manfei's most fragile self-esteem, her face changed, and she pointed at her and asked, "What qualifications do you have to say about me?" Do you really know about boating? Did you really love him? How much have you done for him? You ask yourself, is it really because of my involvement that you broke up? No, Lu Qian, you know in your heart that even if you don't have me, you and Bozhou will still break up! It's not me who is wrong, it's that you don't know how to cherish it, you don't understand how good he is to you, even if he is a scumbag, you turned him into this with your own hands. But I understand, I understand how good he is, so please don't appear in front of him from now on. No matter what kind of relationship you had, it was your past, and I was the future of the boat. ”

Lu Qian quietly listened to this subdued accusation and roar, but there was no wave in his heart: "If you are really so confident in your future, why can't you wait to come to me to swear sovereignty?" I also hope that you will be stronger than Jin from now on, but most of the marriages with impure intentions from the beginning will not last until the end. ”

Lu Qian said: "I don't have any other advantages, and the most prominent advantage is that I can afford to take it and put it down." When I was a child, I hugged the teddy bear I was sleeping with every day, and I was willing to throw it. What's more, it's Xiao Bozhou, who can't see each other a few times a year. ”

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the wedding." I'll keep your blessings for the day of your engagement. ”

Lu Qian walked to the door of the office, turned back to her and asked, "Can you find the way out?" Do you want me to find someone to send you? ”

Du Manfei was arrogant when she came, as if she was swept by a fire extinguisher, she threw away her armor and left, and when she left, she glared at Lu Qian with resentment, which was her only stubbornness.

After seeing Du Manfei leave, Lu Qianxiang was drained of his strength and fell back into the chair. How high-spirited he was when he was scolding Du Manfei just now, and how depressed he is now. Only she knows that some of Du Manfei's questioning is true.

Lu Qian should go to this engagement, but she can't go alone, for fear that she won't be able to control her emotions for a while and will lose her grace. It is even more impossible to contact Qiao Shen and let him wade into troubled waters again. Moreover, at this time, the man she wanted to keep her distance from the most, Xiao Bozhou ranked first, and Qiao Shen definitely ranked second.

After thinking about it, Lu Qian called his good brother Jin Changfeng.

Jin Lei's two families are families, Lu Qian and Jin Changfeng have known each other since childhood, and the two have almost grown up together, like brothers. It is said that there is no pure friendship between men and women, and Lu Qian and Jin Changfeng are an accident. They are the kind of ferromagnetic relationship that strips naked and bathes together, and they don't have evil thoughts about each other.

"Hey, Master Lu? You've come back from an expedition to Mars, huh? I actually have time to take the initiative to flip through my brand. Jin Changfeng's tone was mixed with the sound of tapping on the keyboard. This kid has been a good baby since he was a child, and he was admitted to a prestigious school and chose the Department of Economics and Management after listening to his parents, but the rebellious period came a little late, and not only did he not go to his father's company after graduation, but he also formed a professional team to play e-sports, I heard that he is still well-known in the industry, but these fame are in the eyes of his entrepreneur father, just four words - not doing business.

Lu Qian said: "Xiao Bozhou is engaged next Saturday, you can go with me." ”

These words frightened Jin Changfeng so much that he forgot to type on the keyboard, and his words were filled with excitement: "What are you doing?" Going to smash the field? ”

"Don't smash the field, just go and wish him a happy wedding."

Jin Changfeng just dropped back on the keyboard, withdrew it, and scolded at the mobile phone: "Lu Qian, your brain was kicked by a donkey to the rolling shutter door, right?" He chops your legs, and you go to wish him happiness? Why don't you wish him a full house of children and grandchildren? ”

Lu Qian's temples twitched, and she almost forgot what Jin Changfeng's reaction was when she first learned that Xiao Bozhou had split her legs some time ago...... This thing has put on the knife used to kill pigs in Grandpa's house, if she hadn't stopped it, Xiao Bozhou would probably still be lying in the hospital at this time!

Lu Qian reasoned: "In this relationship, he is the one who cheats on his legs, but the person who is entangled is me, which is unfair." No matter what else you say, no matter what, we also grew up together, thinking of this old relationship, we should be decent to break up. Let's talk ...... again."

Lu Qian pursed his lips and smiled freely: "I went to say a blessing, which is to put an end to the past, not to cheapen him, but to let myself go." ”
