Cao Rui and Liu Xiaojing are in harmony, not only physically comforting each other, but also spiritually and psychologically.

Liu Xiaojing was completely released, and she changed into another person. Her usual mask and disguise were all taken off. Cao Rui wanted to sleep, so she breathed next to Cao Rui's ear. Anyway, after all kinds of tossing, she looked like a naughty little wild cat.

She said she was so depressed that she had to put on a show every day, even in front of her younger brother Liu Song. She was actually very, very tired.

Today was the most pleasant and relaxing day for her after her divorce. She said quietly:

"Cao Rui, even though I know that days like this don't happen often, I'm still full of expectations, and I'm especially enjoying this joy now!"

"Sometimes we think about it, what future do people have? Everyone's destination and future are the same. To put it more extreme, an accident might happen tomorrow. Why do you think so much?"

Cao Rui said:

"I don't want to have so much. The flowers have bloomed and they have to be cut off. Don't wait until the flowers are gone and the branches are empty!"

Liu Xiaojing said: "Are you bullying me for not studying? I can understand this!"

She ran into Cao Rui's arms, put her lips close to each other, exhaled like a orchid, and said: "Can you still break the flowers when they are blooming?"

Cao Rui felt another ball of heat rising in his lower abdomen, and Liu Xiaojing said:

"Oh my, you are really capable, so we must be fair this time. You were the one who beat me just now, and now I'm beating you, haha..."

After a speechless night, Cao Rui got up the next day with two dark circles under his eyes.

Liu Xiaojing also had other things to do in the city, so the two parted ways for the time being. Cao Rui bought some fruit and some sugar-free snacks and went straight to Mayor Gao's nursing home.

He comes here often and is already familiar with the traffic. The people in charge of the courtyard also know him and even take the initiative to say hello to him!

When Cao Rui arrived outside the small courtyard, he heard someone talking inside.

He knocked on the courtyard door and heard Gao Shenghai's voice:

"I'm coming!"

Gao Shenghai came to open the door in person. When he saw Cao Rui, he said:

"Hey, Xiao Rui, come as soon as you come. Why are you still carrying things?"

"Come in, come in! Look at our game of chess, we are having a great time!"

Cao Rui was stunned as soon as he entered the yard. There was a person sitting next to the chessboard. This person was Ling Feng?

Ling Feng, deputy secretary of the Yongping County Party Committee, and Cao Rui met him and boldly asked him for a calligraphy painting.

The painting with the words "Nothing goes without giving" has not yet been framed and is sitting at home!

Ling Feng turned around and saw him, Cao Rui said hurriedly:

"Hello, Secretary Ling! Uncle Gao has always felt that my chess skills are not good enough and I am not satisfied with playing chess with me. If you are here, Uncle Gao is so happy. He must have met his opponent in chess!"

Cao Rui said hello with ease. He was surprised to see Ling Feng, but quickly calmed down.

Ling Feng is a big leader in Yongping County, but he is definitely a junior in the city, especially with Mayor Gao. It would be inappropriate for Cao Rui to be too polite, and it would also put pressure on Ling Feng.

So Cao Rui acted more casually, but he called Gao Shenghai "Gao Bo" in a clever way, which was making something out of nothing.

Gao Shenghai and Cao Dai'an were actually not familiar with each other. The two were just contemporaries on the economic and trade front, and at that time, the two had almost no intersection because of the large identity gap.

But Cao Rui could also call Gao Shenghai "Uncle Gao", and calling him like this would sound particularly friendly to outsiders.

Gao Shenghai and Ling Feng continued to play chess, while Cao Rui was watching the chess game and doing very thoughtful service work.

The last time Cao Rui visited Ling Feng's office, he found that the tea Ling Feng drank was white tea, which is relatively rare. There are a lot of tea leaves in Gaoshenghai, and there are all kinds of tea.

There were also many tea sets, including purple clay pots, square pots, and Sancai cups. Cao Rui used a square pot to make Ling Feng a pot of old white tea.

The first cup of tea served was black tea Lapsang Souchong, and the color of the tea soup was exquisite.

Over at Gao Shenghai, because he has diabetes, Cao Rui prepared all sugar-free snacks, brewed a cup of Qianliu, and brewed Biluochun.

The service work is attentive and the chess piece cannot be left behind. Gao Shenghai and Ling Feng understand each other very well at first sight! The two have very different chess styles. Gao Shenghai likes to slash and kill, while Ling Feng is nimble and agile.

The attack and dodge between the two was indeed quite exciting. As more and more pieces fell on the chessboard, the speed of the two also slowed down.

After the speed slowed down, they had time to stretch their muscles, go to the toilet, and smoke. Cao Rui changed and refilled their tea.

Ling Feng drank the tangerine peel old white tea that had been brewed for an hour, and he was obviously a little surprised.

"This tea is great!"

Cao Rui said:

"There aren't many other things here, Gao Bo, but there are a lot of tea leaves! The tangerine peel old white tea is brewed in a square pot. This is an hour's tea soup. After drinking this cup, the taste behind it will be more mellow and dry!"

Ling Feng said:

"You know a lot about tea!"

Gao Shenghai said from the side:

"Don't underestimate Cao Rui. Not only does he understand tea, but he is also as good at writing as you are! He writes well!"

Cao Rui said hurriedly:

"Uncle Gao, please don't put a high hat on me in front of Secretary Ling. Secretary Ling is a great talent. Recently, the Propaganda Department took the lead in organizing a calligraphy exhibition. I think Secretary Ling should be ranked among the top three in Yongping if he participates in the exhibition!"

Gao Shenghai chuckled and said:

"Calligraphy requires time and effort, Ling Feng. Your calligraphy skills are too high now. In the future, you should focus more on your work. If you take a break from writing for three to five years and put your time aside, you might come back with even higher calligraphy skills." !”

Ling Feng quickly said respectfully: "Old leader, I will definitely obey your teachings and keep them in my heart..."

Gao Shenghai waved his hand and said:

"Why are you so formal? I just said casually, you can spend less time on calligraphy and more time on chess! What is your problem with chess?"

Gao Shenghai cleared his throat:

"The biggest problem with your chess is that it's too bookish and not down to earth! You should know the outcome of this game, right?

You worked hard, why do you still lose? The effort put in is not enough, or it may be that the effort is not necessarily in the chess..."

Gao Shenghai and Ling Feng stopped playing chess and started chatting about work.

Judging from Ling Feng's attitude, he had a deep relationship with Gao Shenghai. Cao Rui thought that Gao Shenghai had called him specifically to ask him to come to Wude City, which must be related to Ling Feng.

When he thought about it, he felt a little lively in his heart. Judging from the current situation in Yongping, it was difficult for Cao Rui to get close to Gao Yi. Gao Yi had a strong personality and was not easy to serve.

What if Cao Rui can get on the line with Ling Feng?

"Uncle Gao, in terms of chess alone, Secretary Ling has been going smoothly all the time, and the official who lost was the last one!" Cao Rui said.

Gao Shenghai Road:

"With your level, what kind of smooth sailing can you expect? Now, I'm tired, you come up and play a game with your Secretary Ling, and I'll see how you keep sailing smoothly..."
