Run in the opposite direction

The fingers are long and slender, the joints are clear, the palm of the hand just covers the sun, and rays of light radiate from the edge of the palm, as if he has surrounded the sun in the palm of his hand.

Xing Chen hadn't had the urge to kiss that hand for many, many years.

"Look, the spring of Lu Lake is under the boat now. The water here is the cleanest and can be drunk directly." The boatman bent down, stretched out his hand to grab a handful of water, raised his head and drank it, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Try it , very sweet."

After taking a sip, Xiao Xu had a sudden thought: "Brother, haven't you locals thought about transporting the water here to sell? You see, now, in Changbai Mountain of Baisui Mountain, everyone is pursuing natural mineral water."

The boatman shook his head very excitedly, and raised his voice: "No, no, this is the water given to us by the goddess. Our village used to be poor, but now that you come to travel, it is much better. Empty everything that God gave What about future generations?"

Father Xing nodded appreciatively, glared at Xiao Xu and said, "You are still a member of the government, and you don't understand the principles of sustainable development."

Xing Chen was still lying on the deck, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, go back and write a report."

While talking, the boat approached the island.Xiao Xu jumped onto the shore with the boatman waiting for the guests, then turned around and helped the two elders of the Xing family ashore, and finally the old lady Qiao.Qiao Qianyan supported grandma in the back, Xiao Xu took her arm in front, and carefully pulled the old lady up, and Qiao Qianyan also went ashore.Xiao Xu hurriedly followed the three old men, Qiao Qianyan turned around and stretched out his hand to Xing Chen: "Come on."

Xing Chen held his hand and jumped ashore with one step.

The Goddess Temple is on the top of the mountain in the center of the island. It is not a short flight of stairs. Qiao Qianyan looked at the people in front of him and said, "The stairs are too high, so grandma and I won't go. You can just go up this entrance. No It's a fork in the road, it's easy to find. Let's turn around below to see the scenery."

Xing Chen took out his mobile phone, swipe the screen and said, "Tell me your mobile phone number, and wait a while so that we don't run into each other."

Qiao Qianyan reported the number, watched them turn into the entrance, and wandered along the path by the island with Mrs. Qiao.

The vegetation on the island is dense, and there are many wild fruits growing near the water. Qiao Qianyan picked one or two and shook them in his hand.Slow down and take grandma for a walk.

It took Xing Chen and his party half an hour to reach the temple.The Goddess Temple is built on the highest mountain of the island. Standing at the gate of the temple, you can see the panorama of the island.

Xiao Xu pointed to the figure at the foot of the mountain and said, "Hey, Boss Xiao Qiao is there."

Qiao Qianyan was standing on a rock picking a clump of wild flowers that grew on a sloping hillside. When he got it, he jumped to the ground, smiled at the old lady, and gave her the flowers.

Xing Chen recalled that back then, the street office was busy with work, and he had no time to go back to his alma mater after the debate competition. Qiao Qianyan's face was lingering in his mind, and he tossed and turned for a week. He felt that he had to find a way to get to know this person. Not to mention how far he has developed, this is the first time he has been so attracted by a person, it would be a pity if he just let it go.

But soon he saw Qiao Qianyan again.

That day was the launching ceremony of the rural left-behind children's public welfare project jointly organized by several enterprises in the jurisdiction.

Xing Chen went to the backstage of the ceremony early in the morning, playing with his mobile phone boredly while waiting for someone.After sitting for a while, he saw Qiao Qianyan, who was wearing a work pass and leading a group of young people in.Xing Chen inquired about his identity from the clerk around him, only to find out that Qiao Qianyan was a representative of one of the companies.Xing Chen has worked here for several years, so he naturally knows the status of the company in the industry. He was a little surprised that Qiao Qianyan, a young man who did not graduate from university, could actually attend the event as a company representative.But he himself is a living example. Although there are many geniuses in this world, the most fearful thing is that capable people have backgrounds. For a character like Qiao Qianyan, as long as he has a little help, it is not surprising how high he can fly .

Qiao Qianyan was leaning against the table, with his long legs crossed, holding a document book in his left hand, and scribbling with his right hand, arranging people to do things one by one, with a clear and correct tone of voice, stealing a few seconds to spare With peach blossom eyes, he asked the assistant beside him to see if his hairstyle was messy, and said with a smile that he would speak on stage later.

Surrounded in the center, Qiao Qianyan had long eyebrows and dark hair, clear eyes, and his slender limbs and every move exuded the unique vitality of young people.

The staff of the sub-district office sent the speech to Qiao Qianyan. Qiao Qianyan was puzzled: "I have prepared a speech."

The little staff member said: "The leaders of the party committee will come over today. We need to review the speeches of the representatives of the enterprises before returning them to you. I am worried that there will be too little time. You can use this spare draft."

Xing Chen naturally understood the meaning of this. When people from the party committee came, the official media would come, so the spokesperson of the company could not make a mistake. After all, public welfare projects have attracted the most attention in recent years, and a careless one will cause public opinion to boil.As for reviewing the manuscript, it was just a tactful excuse. These spokespersons were afraid that they would not be able to see their original manuscript until the ceremony was over.

Qiao Qianyan's assistant asked him from the side: "The manuscript is with me, do you want to give it to them?"

Qiao Qianyan glanced at the staff member and said casually, "Give it."

After the ceremony started, the party committee and district leaders sat in the first row, and Xing Chen sat in the farthest corner, so as to deal with emergencies in a timely manner.The leaders of the company went up to speak one by one, and they all took spare manuscripts, and the content was not bad. First, they talked about the plight of those children in the countryside, and then they boasted about their corporate culture and charity, and briefly mentioned the project plan. Finally, let’s look at the effect of public welfare.

Qiao Qianyan was the fifth speaker. He held a thick stack of materials in his hand. Before he went on stage, he asked his assistant to distribute it to the leaders in the first row and several representatives in the media area.

When Xing Chen saw his actions, his heart tightened. Isn't this kid going to do something big? !

He hurriedly called the clerk to go to the media area to ask for a document, and at the same time asked the staff to prepare it. If it was something like financial uncertainty, they had to contact the brother department immediately to investigate.

Qiao Qianyan simply said hello, opened the information in his hand, and said loudly to the hundreds of people in the audience: "This public welfare action to provide free lunch for left-behind children, the reason, the original intention, and the impact. I think everyone is very clear. The previous big brothers also said in detail, so I won’t go into details. This brochure contains information on the food suppliers we have established cooperation with in this project, the daily average cost per person, the source of funds and where they are going. For each document, food inspection report, reporting supervision phone number and other information, I hope that all leaders have a detailed understanding of our project, and I hope that friends from the media present can report it in detail, so that our project can receive hundreds of millions of dollars. The inspection and supervision of netizens..."

Xing Chen sat under the stage and looked at Qiao Qianyan. The young man on the stage had a handsome face, an elegant posture, a loud voice, and no fear in what he did.

A burst of warm applause from the audience pulled Xing Chen back from his gaze. The secretary of the party committee took the lead in applauding Qiao Qianyan with a look of admiration and approval. Xing Chen saw Qiao Qianyan bowing to everyone, and then walked off the stage step by step.

Such a boy, I am afraid that in school on weekdays, there are many girls who send love and flowers to his eyes.

A few words suddenly appeared in Xing Chen's mind: youthful spirit, fresh clothes and angry horse.

Ever since she came back from visiting Luhu Lake, Mrs. Qiao has regarded the Xing family as her own family. Luojiang’s special snacks are not bad, but eating them every day is unbearable, so she invited the four members of the Xing family to have dinner with them. At first, Xing Chen was afraid that it would be too troublesome, but was persuaded by Mrs. Qiao later.The Luojiang River is high in altitude, and it is not easy to grow food crops, especially rice, so the local people seldom eat rice.But for grandma's health, Qiao Qianyan still went to the supermarket to buy the most expensive non-local rice for cooking.People in Luojiang like to eat cured meat, and sausage and pork ribs are a must-have in every household.Mrs. Qiao started steaming sausage rice in the morning, and Mother Xing was in the kitchen watching the old lady fry all kinds of ingredients she had never seen before.

The teahouse in the yard looked brand new after being repaired, Qiao Qianyan brought out a set of tea making tools, and watched Father Xing show off the expert posture of making tea.

Xing's father handed it to Qiao Qianyan after making a cup, and said in a gentle voice, "Although I have been brewing for these years, Xing Chen is better than me in terms of level."

Qiao Qianyan looked at Xing Chen curiously.

Seeing his eyes, Xing Chen laughed and said, "Don't believe it?"

Qiao Qianyan shook his head: "No, I think you are so young, you don't seem to like drinking tea."

Xing Chen: "Drinking at work is unavoidable. When I get home, I drink some tea to clear my stomach. If I drink a lot, I like it." After speaking, he motioned to his father, "Dad, let's change places, and I'll make a pot for you."

Qiao Qianyan rested his head on his hands to watch Xing Chen wash the tea tray. There were obvious blood vessels on the back of Xing Chen's hands, and the bone peaks on his wrists protruded. He looked like him, with a calm and oppressive aura. Shi leisurely picked up the teapot and made tea, but there was no sense of disobedience.Qiao Qianyan raised his eyes and looked at Xing Chen's face through the curling water vapor.He suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had seen the person in front of him somewhere before.

With this thought in his mind, Qiao Qianyan immediately remembered Jia Baoyu's classic line in Dream of the Red Chamber: "I have seen this sister before." He smiled unconsciously.

Xing Chen handed him a cup of tea and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Qiao Qianyan took a sip, and vaguely felt that it was indeed better than Father Xing's, but he was not an expert, and he couldn't tell why, so he replied, "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that you look familiar."

Xing Chen paused while pouring tea, his eyes stopped on Qiao Qianyan's face, his eyes were full of incomprehensible emotions, he looked at Qiao Qianyan and said: "My former unit
