[Rebirth] Hello, Lord Mayor
Work related
The wind hit his face, which was a very real feeling, telling him the fact that he was still alive.
It has been an hour since we arrived at the seaside. At this time, the sun has risen high and is slowly emitting heat. Qi Xia held a floral umbrella to shield his brother from the sun, and walked in together with Xie Dong who was carrying a bag. The largest hot spring hotel by the sea.
The gorgeous buildings that I always saw in magazines appeared in front of my eyes. Qi Ning was slightly taken aback, and then smiled. Qi Xia beside him was full of joy. She has never really seen it before. What about such a beautiful house, the ones that appeared on TV in the past were all floating clouds, floating clouds.
"Go in." Xie Dong put it in his pocket alone, with a smile on Jun's face.
As Qi Ning walked beside him, countless images flashed through his mind.
It was the first time that Xie Dong secretly brought oatmeal crisps from home for him to eat. Xie Dong was the first to rush to him when he knew his parents passed away. Xie Dong stood with him in front of Qi Xia's grave in silence. The calm face, what Xie Dong said when he came to visit him in prison for the first time, the happy light on Xie Dong's face when he brought his wife to see him, Xie Dong...
In this life, it is such a happy thing to have this friend who is like a brother by my side.
"What are you thinking? Smiling so brightly?" Xie Dong leaned over and looked at him jokingly, his eyes as bright as the sun outside.
Qi Ning smiled at him faintly and said, "It's a funny thing."
Xie Dong curled his lips and fell silent.
This hot spring hotel named Xia Ri Nuan Yang was booked by Xie Dong. When he learned that he was going to the beach for vacation, he just grabbed the job to do it. Qi Ning couldn't stop him but didn't say anything. Dong must know that he is struggling financially, that's why he rushes to book a hotel. Qi Ning couldn't bear to refuse this kindness.
Seeing Xie Dong's familiar appearance, Qi Ning couldn't help asking: "Do you come here often?"
"Yes." Xie Dong replied very calmly, and Qi Ning didn't ask any more questions, he must have come with the person who ate him up.
Xie Dong seemed to have thought of this too, a suspicious blush flashed across his fair face, Qi Ning just turned his head slightly to talk to Qi Xia, pretending he didn't see anything.
I didn't realize that Xie Dong blushed so beautifully before.
Qi Ning thought viciously in his heart, wondering if that person knew what Xie Dong was like when he was strong, if he knew, would he be scared away or would he directly turn against the customer and crush him to death?
However, the latter may be larger.
After all, with Xie Dong's temperament, it is still difficult for him to be the one being suppressed. Since the other party has this ability, it only shows that that person must also have two brushes.
While thinking wildly, the room Xie Dong booked arrived.
This is the top floor of the hotel. There are no more than six rooms on the first floor. Rare paintings by famous artists, with warm lighting, there is a sense of mystery spontaneously.
When the waiter opened the door, Qi Xia's big eyes immediately opened to the extreme, and he turned around and asked uncertainly, "Brother Dong, did we go to the wrong room?"
Xie Dong leaned on the door frame in a happy mood, "Sister, live here at ease, even if you want to live here for a year, brother can afford it."
Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Xia rushed into the presidential suite like an excited bird. Qi Ning stood at the door and watched her cheerful back, and became more determined to go north. Ouyang Rui was right. Only with ability can he give Qi Xia a better future and happiness, Peking University is a springboard, he must hold it firmly in his hands.
"Are you satisfied?" Xie Dong put his arms around his chest, trying to claim credit.
Qi Ning praised without hesitation, "Very satisfied, Xie Dong, you are really my good brother."
"Why am I so awkward listening to you?"
Qining only gave him a back view to leave, and carried his luggage into the corner room.
The room Xie Dong booked was naturally the best in the entire hotel. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see the turquoise water. There were many people on the beach. They were wearing swimming trunks or bikinis, with cheerful smiles on their faces. Not far away is the beautiful sea, the waves are hitting layer by layer, setting off a fascinating style.
Qi Ning likes the sea, but he doesn't like to play in only one pair of shorts on the beach, let alone roll around on the sand.
It was only because Qi Xia liked it that he forced himself to like it.
21 figured out
However, seeing that Xie Dong took a pair of colorful swimming trunks and asked him to put them on, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and refused to say anything.
"Ah Ning, we are here to play at the beach, how can you go out dressed like this? Everyone will think you are a monster, come on, put on." Xie Dong held his trousers and continued to lobby, Qi Ning looked down at himself The short-sleeved trousers on his body still feel good, there is no need to wear the clothes Xie Dong has.
"Brother, do I look good dressed like this?" At this moment, Qi Xia suddenly rushed out of the room, the petal swimsuit on her body almost made Qi Ning and Xie Dong faint instantly.
Qi Ning has always known that his sister is very beautiful, but he has never realized it so clearly like this moment, the skin that can be blown away, the tube top swimsuit on the body and the wave swim skirt on the lower body, the slender legs are straight Now that the reality is in front of his eyes, Qi Ning's determination to go to Peking University has been shaken again.
If those people saw Qi Xia like this, they would probably pounce on him like a wolf pouncing on his prey, right?
"Sister, you are beautiful." Xie Dong came back to his senses, and could only praise him so stupidly.
Qi Xia rubbed her head, walked over with an embarrassed smile, saw the clothes on Qining's body, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, why don't you change your clothes?"
"Uh...I..."
"Your brother is sorry." Xie Dong said coolly from the side.
Qi Ning glared at him, and was about to put on the swimming trunks in Xie Dong's hand, but was stopped by his younger sister, "Brother, I know you don't like to go to crowded places, why don't you go to the hot springs, although it's a bit of a stretch to soak in summer? Not suitable, but..."
"No, don't you know why this hotel is so famous? It's because his hot springs are warm in winter and cool in summer. That's how the name Nuanyang in summer comes from."
Qi Ning was stunned when he heard it, he had never heard of a cold hot spring in summer, but he had to try it anyway if he could escape the fate of wearing swimming trunks.
So the three broke up in the hotel lobby. Xie Dong took Qi Xia to the beach behind, and Qi Ning followed the waiter to the hot spring on the east side. There are indeed very few people in the hot spring in summer, almost none. He was so comfortable in the cold water that he wanted to scream twice, Xie Dong was right, the water in this hot spring was as cold as a mountain stream in summer, refreshing.
This is an open-air yard. Peach and apricot trees are planted around the yard, and the trees are carefully decorated with small ornaments, which look more delicate. The toes are trembling.
Faintly someone's voice came, the voice was not loud, and the words were intermittent, Qi Ning got up from the hot spring quickly, took the bathrobe on the side and put it on, after what happened to Li Liang last time, he It's become a bit of a waste of time, but always be careful.
After a while, the voice was getting closer and closer. It was a nice baritone voice. There was a sound of clogs rubbing against the ground on the floor. Standing where he was, Qi Ning saw a figure getting closer and closer, so close that he could see the other person clearly. The face and the slightly raised corners of the lips when speaking.
The man saw him immediately, and after being slightly dazed, he smiled gently.
"I'll call you later." The man said softly into the phone, then cut off the phone, and walked straight to Qi Ning who was standing there dumbfounded.
Qi Ning's mind was a little messed up. The person he was thinking about just now appeared in front of him like this. Everyone would feel a little unresponsive. What's more, that person was wearing the same white bathrobe as his own, and the bathrobe was only white. Simply tie a knot, as if pulling it casually, the knot will be unraveled, revealing the lean body inside.
Realizing that he was thinking further and further away, Qi Ning hurriedly shook his head, and heard a smiling voice from the opposite person: "Qining, what a coincidence."
"What a coincidence." The voice trembled a little.
Seeing the delicate skin on his smooth neck, Ouyang Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, and said after a while: "You came alone?"
"No, Qi Xia and I have Xie Dong." Qining replied, thinking that Ouyang Rui didn't seem to know Xie Dong yet, "Xie Dong is my brother, the kind who grew up together."
Ouyang Rui raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a stream of light in his eyes, "The very iron one?"
"Ah."
Ouyang Rui was still laughing, and began to take off the bathrobe on his body. The robe fell off as expected. Standing there, Qi Ning felt his throat dry, as if something was eager to come out. The body in front of him Healthy and lean, there doesn't seem to be a trace of fat in the whole body, and every part seems to be just right after careful carving, with a slender neck, a broad chest, a thin waist extending all the way to the loose black shorts, and then the pair of slender legs , Qi Ning swallowed his saliva, and then looked at his small body, feeling inexplicably inferior.
It seems that no matter how long she can't grow a standard nine-headed body like Ouyang Rui's.
"Did you just come in too?" Ouyang Rui had already stepped into the hot spring, his sturdy body was swaying under the water, Qining hurriedly restrained his mind and said, "It's been a while."
"Then you..." Ouyang Rui scanned his whole body with his eyes, and Qi Ning immediately understood, "I heard someone coming in just now, and thought..."
He didn't go on talking, and felt that it was embarrassing to say this in front of this person, but Ouyang Rui still had a smiling expression, "Come in and have a drink."
Qi Ning hummed, lowered his head and untied the straps he had tied tightly. After working hard for a long time, he finally succeeded. When he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly met Ouyang Rui's vision, and Qi Ning became stiff again. Although he was 27 At this age, he is already a fully mature man, but he still feels uncomfortable being stared at with that undisguised gaze.
Perhaps Ouyang Rui also sensed the meaning in his eyes, coughed slightly, and said with a light smile: "How many days do you plan to play?"
"Two days." Qi Ning soaked in the hot spring with relief, the feeling just now gradually faded away.
It turned out that Ouyang Rui came here for a meeting. After the meeting, he just took advantage of the hot spring to relieve his fatigue. Qi Ning saw the fatigue between his brows and thought that this person only lived to be 32 years old, and his heart tightened again. He couldn't help but said: "Be careful Body."
"Yes, I see." Ouyang Rui replied lazily, but there was a touch of joy in his tone.
Qining closed his eyes, pretending not to see the upward curve of the man's lips.
His heart was beating so fast, Qi Ning quietly pressed the position of his left chest, he had never been in a relationship before, he didn't know if he liked someone like he is now, he would miss him when he couldn't see it, and would involuntarily want to run away when he saw it, run away Stay far away, so as not to let the other party hear your out-of-rhythm heartbeat.
The atrium occupied by a strange feeling is full, as if a little more emotion will overflow.
It was a completely different feeling, a feeling that you would not have had with anyone except Ouyang Rui, it was both sweet and sentimental, both joyful and sad.
"Have you thought about the university?" Ouyang Rui's voice suddenly came, especially deep and charming in the quiet space.
Qi Ning opened his eyes and curled his mouth: "I'm going to Beijing."
Ouyang Rui on the side paused for a moment, then said, "Why did you figure it out again?"
"Suddenly I figured it out."
"When are you leaving? Have you bought the ticket?"
Qi Ning changed his posture before slowly answering: "I will buy tickets the day after tomorrow, and I have to report to school before September 9st."
Ouyang Rui didn't speak, and could only hear the sound of birdsong and each other's breathing for a while, Qining turned his head to take a look, and found that Ouyang Rui had his eyes closed, so he didn't speak anymore and lay on the stone, feeling suddenly depressed Yes, don't know if it's because of the weather or something else.
Unknowingly, sleepiness surged up, and Qi Ning fell into the hot spring and fell asleep peacefully.
I have complete trust in Ouyang Rui in my heart, that's why I let myself fall asleep so recklessly. Perhaps, this person is the most special existence to him, even more special than Qi Xia. Before his consciousness left his body, Qi Ning fainted. think.
Ouyang Rui got up from the hot spring, pulled off the bathrobe on the side and put it on. When he was about to call Qining, he found that he had fallen asleep with a faint smile on his mouth. Ouyang Rui walked over gently, knelt down and looked at The young man sleeping soundly in the hot spring closed his eyes peacefully and peacefully, like a simple and elegant ink painting, so light that it made people feel that they couldn't get enough of it.
22 beach
The slender fingers slowly caressed the young man's elegant face, not daring to get too close, and could only follow the clear outline to draw it carefully. The man's eyes were full of smiles and vague affection, only his slender lips Slightly evoked, my heart is full of satisfaction.
Looking at the wall clock not far away, Ouyang Rui leaned over and picked up the person in the hot spring. What he touched was a piece of delicate skin, but it was too thin.
He took the bathrobe at the side and put it on for the person in his arms, as if disturbed by the sudden outside world, the boy in his arms frowned slightly, but did not wake up, Ouyang Rui poked the face of the person in his arms amusedly, Then he picked him up carefully and strode outside.
People passing by were curious that the young mayor was holding a person in his arms, and the expression on his face was also rare and gentle. Unfortunately, the face of the person in the mayor's arms was sunken in a shadow, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. But judging from that small body, it looks like she should be a woman, but she is too slender, so everyone is relieved, the mayor finally found the girl he likes after being idle for so long, so everyone has something to talk about after dinner.
Ouyang Rui put Qi Ning on the big soft bed, turned up the air-conditioning, and took a thin quilt to cover the sound sleeper, then slowly walked to the sofa by the window and sat down. He took out a book from the display shelf next to him and read it, but he didn't read a single word.
The sun poured in from behind, casting shadows all over the ground.
When Qi Ning woke up, the sky outside was completely dark, but the surroundings were not dark because of the illumination of street lamps.
Sitting up from the bed, the layout of the room was a little strange, not the one Xie Dong booked.
Looking down, the shorts and bathrobes he wore in the hot spring in the afternoon were gone, replaced by silk pajamas that were obviously a size too big, his head was blown into nothingness, he hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran out, When he saw the man talking on the phone with his back turned to him in the living room, the blankness immediately turned into embarrassment.
He just fell asleep like that.
Moreover, it was Ouyang Rui who changed the clothes for him, and... it seemed that he had been seen.
Hearing the voice behind him, Ouyang Rui said a few words to the phone in a low voice and then hung up. He had already changed into a black T-shirt and khaki pants, and stood straight in front of the French window, with infinite fireworks and fireworks behind him. The sky was as dark as ink, and Qi Ning stood at the door of the bedroom, suddenly he didn't know what to say, he only felt that the silk pajamas on his body were very hot.
"Are you hungry?" Ouyang Rui automatically ignored the embarrassment on his face and asked gently.
Qi Ning's stomach groaned in an embarrassing way, and Qi Ning lowered his head, just wanting to find a hole in the ground to drill down.
Ouyang Rui approached him, saw the young man's reddish ears and side face, and patted him on the shoulder happily, "What do you want to eat?"
"Uh...Qi Xia might be looking for me, I'll..."
"Qi Xia and Xie Dong came here just now, I said you are still resting, let them play with themselves." Ouyang Rui interrupted him calmly, with bright light flowing in his eyes, Qi Ning only took one look and then hurried He looked away, feeling the temperature on his face getting higher.
I didn't think it was awkward before, but since I was sure of my mind, I couldn't look into Ouyang Rui's eyes and talk, as if I would be sucked in by those black pupils if I was not careful, and I would never recover.
Qi Ning took a slight step away and walked to the place where Ouyang Rui was standing just now. He could clearly see the people having BBQ on the beach not far away. Not far from them was the quiet and peaceful sea. Even standing here, he seemed to be able to hear The sound of sea water lapping on the shore.
"Why don't we go to barbecue too." Ouyang Rui came behind him at some point, the distance between the two of them was so close that Qining could feel the hot air from the man on his neck, it was so crispy and numb that it was involuntary want to escape.
Qi Ning hesitated, and said after a while: "You are the mayor, you can be regarded as a public figure after all, wouldn't it be strange to have a barbecue under the beach?"
Ouyang Rui rubbed his hair with a smile, the warm touch on his head made Qi Ning's calm heartbeat start to become disordered again, Ouyang Rui broke in with a smiling voice like this: "Fool, the mayor is also a human being, too It needs to be lived and enjoyed."
Listening to the joy in his voice, Qi Ning also laughed. Maybe Ouyang Rui in his previous life died young because he pushed himself too hard. In this life, he owed him a favor, so no matter what , but also to let this elegant and handsome man in front of him live a good life.
When he walked out of the room with Ouyang Rui, Qi Ning looked at the house number of the room, "So you live next door to us?" No wonder Qi Xia and Xie Dong would find him.
Ouyang Rui didn't speak, just nodded with a smile.
It can be seen that Ouyang Rui, like Xie Dong, is a frequent visitor here.
People passing by all nodded to Ouyang Rui one after another, and some would come up to have a chat, and the compliments in their words made Qi Ning frown involuntarily.
These people in front of them all had smiling faces, and held Ouyang Rui's slender hand affectionately with both hands, with a friendly and kind look. If one day, when Ouyang Rui is no longer high in power and no longer useful, I don't know Can these people still maintain their current faces?
Ouyang Rui always had a faint smile on his face, neither affectionate nor alienated. Looking at his perfect profile, Qi Ning silently thought, this is the way of human existence, even if you are unwilling, You have to put on a smiling face to greet people, even Ouyang Rui, who is the mayor, is no exception.
"Who is this?" The person who had been holding Ouyang Rui to greet him noticed Qi Ning and asked with a smile.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Ouyang Rui's brows, and then he took Qin Ning's shoulders and said with a smile, "My cousin." He didn't even want to let the other party know his name.
Qi Ning was a little surprised, but he was relieved immediately, and smiled politely, "Hello."
The fat man on the opposite side narrowed his eyes slightly, he seemed to be very interested in Qi Ning, but because of Ouyang Rui's presence, and because Ouyang Rui's cousin was somewhat scrupulous, the two sides exchanged a few hypocritical compliments Just waved goodbye.
It wasn't until the figure of the man disappeared from sight that Ouyang Rui's low voice came: "I will take a detour when I see this man in the future."
Qi Ning nodded honestly, he naturally knew Ouyang Rui's worry, the man looked at him too openly, even if he wanted to pretend he didn't see it, it was impossible.
Seeing his obedient appearance, Ouyang Rui suddenly brightened his unexpected mood just now. He took the hand of the young man beside him and walked to the service desk. There was a slight fluctuation on the calm pretty face, "Mr. Ouyang, what can I do for you?" Very professional.
"Prepare the barbecue for me on the beach." Ouyang Rui's voice was faint, but he didn't let go of Qining's hand, and still held it naturally, neither loose nor tight, and he couldn't tell what his intention was. Qi Ning was slightly stunned, as if once he met this person, all his calmness would disappear. Could this be the legendary ape dung? !
Upon hearing this, the front desk lady immediately replied respectfully: "Okay, please wait a moment." Then she dialed the internal line to get someone ready, and Ouyang Rui had already pulled Qi Ning to the beach.
When the two arrived at the beach, the grill had already been set up, and there were two small stools next to it, and all kinds of ingredients and condiments were neatly placed on the small round table beside it. Qi Ning had to admire the hotel's work Efficiency, or in other words, he should admire Ouyang Rui's strong background and transcendent status. The front desk lady looked at Ouyang Rui not only because he was the mayor of Jianning City, but there were too many emotions in her eyes, admiration and admiration , trust, respect and... amazing.
23 Difficult
"In fact, our city should build a few more playgrounds. The park facilities are outdated. There is no place for children to play except wandering in the street on weekends." Ouyang Rui's voice brought back his wandering thoughts, and Qi Ning thought As soon as he moved, he heard Ouyang Rui say again: "If I want to build a playground near Minhuan Road, what do you think?" His gaze was fixed on Qi Ning, as if Qi Ning's answer was very important to him .
Sure enough.
The house left by my parents is going to be demolished and built into a place for people to play. "Is it like Disney?" I will no longer be afraid of losing the precious memories of my parents, and I will no longer be afraid of not being able to rely on when I dream back in the middle of the night. All that is left at this moment is complete peace and calm.
Ouyang Rui strung the chicken legs on the iron hairpin, carefully brushed soy sauce and chili powder on it, and then slowly replied: "It's probably not possible at the moment, but I think we should be able to build a domestic first-class playground for entertainment, food and drink. , shopping and tourism are all in one line.”
Qi Ning nodded, "It is not impossible for tourism to drive consumption and economic development, but the first thing we need to consider is the cost of building the playground and all the surrounding service facilities. If we are heavily in debt, we may not be able to achieve the desired results. "What I learned in prison from economic criminals can't be useless in the end.
"The cost is not a problem. I will ask Xiaoqi to come up with a plan tomorrow, and we will have a meeting to make a decision." While speaking, the string of chicken legs in Ouyang Rui's hand was already cooked, and he put the chicken legs on the plate, and then Cut a few slits on it with a knife, then brushed spices and sesame oil on it with a brush, and when it was grilled again, the rich smell of meat came out. Qining stared at the chicken leg in his hand, swallowing secretly, why They look delicious.
"Here, be careful it's hot." Ouyang Rui handed the fully cooked chicken leg to him, his eyes were extraordinarily dazzling against the light.
Qi Ning was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to accept it or not. He ate the free food first and felt bad after all, but Ouyang Rui just laughed and cut the chicken leg into pieces with a knife and handed it to him. This time, Qi Ning didn't delay any longer. I took the chopsticks and started to eat. What I got in my mouth was rich and tender chicken, so delicious that I wanted to swallow it with my tongue.
There are a lot of people grilling around, they are laughing, drinking and eating meat, they look tactful and rough under the thick night, the sea not far away is slightly tumbling waves, Qi Ning is fascinated by it, even the chopsticks in his hand are not Knowing what to let go, "When I was young, my parents often brought Qi Xia and me to play here. At that time, the sky seemed to be higher and the sea water was clearer. Qi Xia always liked to take my mother's hand and run barefoot to the shallows. Playing, my dad and I will stand on the shore and watch them. These are the two most important women in my dad’s and me’s life. If they can always be by my side, I think I can accept any test given by life. Dad often said that the sea can accommodate hundreds of rivers, and people should be as tolerant as the sea, regardless of small details, but I can't do it."
Qi Xia's death made him lose his mind, and there was only one voice in his heart: the culprit must be cut into pieces.
So Li Feng died, he went to jail, and his life was completely ruined.
If he could choose, he thought, he would do it again, kill Li Feng to avenge Qi Xia, and stay in prison until his death.
In fact, he is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of ruining his future. What he fears most is that his only relative will leave him. From now on, he will be the only one left to live alone in this world.
"Life is like this. Dissatisfaction is eight or nine out of ten. If you have to count everything down, it will only make your life more tiring. What's more, in my opinion, you are already very good." Ouyang Rui Looking at him all the time, his voice was a little fuzzy in the weak sea breeze, but his tone was extremely firm. Qi Ning looked at him blankly, and saw a glimmer of light in the man's deep eyes, like the dawn before dawn, faint but bright.
At this moment, Qi Ning almost wanted to cry.
The tears he had never shed when he encountered the most embarrassing situation in his life, at this moment, in front of this person named Ouyang Rui, for the first time, he wanted to cry heartily, turning all the silence and pain into tears After being excreted from the body, all that remains is to cherish and grasp it.
"Have I ever told you that my mother is my dad's second wife?" Ouyang Rui was still baking a piece of rice cake carefully, the snow-white cake body was coated with appetizing seasoning, Qi Ning Looking at the piece of rice cake, I couldn't raise my head to look at the person's face, for fear of seeing pain and other depressed emotions on it.
Any emotions related to negative emotions should not appear in him.
Ouyang Rui in his memory was young, introverted, calm and powerful. Such a person must have a perfect family, a shrewd father, and a gentle mother. That is the family about Ouyang Rui in Qi Ning's heart.
"At that time, I was too young. I didn't understand why my dad could make out with other women in front of my mom, and I couldn't understand why my mom was so calm when she saw all this. Until I was ten years old, my mom said yes I said, if you want to have your own life, you have to choose, either stay at home as a young master with a planned life, or go out and take the path you want to take." Ouyang Rui's voice was surprisingly calm, as if While talking about other people's affairs, Qi Ning sat there in a daze, unable to find any words to describe his mood at the moment, why did Ouyang Rui say these things to him?Why do you say that?Why?
"You chose the most difficult path." After a long time, Qi Ning found his own voice.
The handsome face of the man opposite was still smiling, as if it was just Qi Ning dreaming that Ouyang Rui confided his inner secrets to him and told about those unknown past events.
"If you want to keep your life out of control, you have to give it a go." When the man spoke, the corners of his raised lips were full and moist under the not-so-bright light. Qining looked straight at those two thin lips, and suddenly felt the desire to kiss. The impulsiveness/movement to go up, after all, still has some self-control to not do such a shocking thing in the public.
"Qining, if you want to have something you shouldn't have, you must learn to choose." Ouyang Rui said something suddenly, and Qining met his gaze, and then quickly turned away as if being burned , the panicked side face made the man on the opposite side feel more comfortable, and even a rare comfortable smile appeared on his usually gentle face. There were already several tables of guests looking over, and everyone was puzzled. Why is the mayor smiling so heartily?
24 Believe
At the end of the barbecue, Qi Xia, who had been wild all day, finally appeared, and Qi Ning saw a man beside her, wearing a white T-shirt and beach pants, with a clean and elegant face, but that man was not Xie Dong.
"Where's your brother Dong?" Qi Ning stood up and asked, and Bai Yu beside Qi Xia said softly: "Xie Dong met a friend, so he asked me to send Xiao Xia to you."
For Bai Yu, Qi Ning actually doesn't dislike him, on the contrary, he has a pure appreciation. This man feels very dry, like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks. Such a person holds a first-class chef certificate. No one will believe it.
"Hi, long time no see." Qi Ning nodded at him with a calm tone.
With a gentle smile on Bai Yu's face, he said softly: "I heard from Xiao Xia that you are going to Peking University?"
"Correct."
Qi Xia suddenly tugged at his elder brother's hand, and asked softly, "Brother, is that the mayor?"
Qi Ning was taken aback, only caring about Qi Xia and Bai Yu, and left Ouyang Rui aside, he hurriedly pulled Qi Xia: "Xiao Xia, this is Mayor Ouyang." Then he said to Ouyang Rui: "Mayor, this It's my sister Qi Xia, and this is her master Bai Yu."
Ouyang Rui stood up with a smile, his eyes swept over Bai Yu, and then fixed on Qi Xia, "Hi Xiao Xia, I often hear your brother mention you." His tone was full of kindness that could not be ignored.
"Mayor Ouyang, you are so young." After all, he is a child at heart. Qi Xia saw such a handsome and elegant man standing in front of him with red hearts in his eyes. It sounded: "It's been a long time since no one said I was young."
"Hahaha, mayor, you are not only handsome, but you are also so humorous. You are not as serious as you imagined." Qi Xia sat down on the stool beside Ouyang Rui familiarly, her beautiful face under the light more and more beautiful.
Ouyang Rui also turned his head to look at her, "Should I be a serious old man in people's hearts?"
"That's definitely not the case. Although everyone thinks you are serious, but when it comes to the old man, you are definitely not. You are so young and handsome. I don't know how many girls in our class have fascinated. Even our female class teacher is right. You have admired for a long time." Qi Xia didn't seem to have any barriers against Ouyang Rui at all, and after a while, the two chatted.
Qi Ning still sat down, his mood was no longer as comfortable as before.
Why, he parted his lips and revealed a sneering smile, as expected, love can drive people crazy.
Bai Yu, who sat down with him, was very quiet all the time. He took a bunch of potatoes and baked them. He listened to the conversation between Ouyang Rui and Qi Xia, and occasionally interjected a few words. Haimian was in a daze, Qi Xia called him several times before he came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, what are you thinking? Brother Ouyang is asking you something." Qi Xia stared at his brother with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Brother Ouyang?
The progress of the two is really fast, Qi Ning lowered his head and smiled, even though Qi Xia is only 15 years old, but if Ouyang Rui likes her, he should be willing to wait until she grows up.
The scene when Qi Xia and Ouyang Rui were standing together frightened him for an instant. He might have thought that Ouyang Rui was straight, but he had never seen a woman beside him, except for the foreign woman he met in the western restaurant. Just now when he saw his sister standing next to him, he suddenly thought that only a woman is qualified to have the position next to a man like Ouyang Rui. As a man, no matter how hard he tries, he seems unable to reach that height.
When he was sentenced to 11 years in prison ten years ago, he had already accepted his fate.
After rebirth, reality is still teaching him how to accept his fate.
Thinking of this, he still smiled, Ouyang Rui narrowed his eyes slightly to see the expression on his face, his handsome face was instantly covered with an unpredictable smile, and his voice seemed extremely calm in this smile: "Qining, how do you want to spend your birthday?" ?”
Qi Ning was stunned for a while before he understood, and hurriedly said: "I was probably already in Beijing at that time, and I'm used to not having a birthday for so many years."
The smile on Ouyang Rui's lips grew stronger, "It's better to pass earlier."
"No, I'm not used to sudden birthdays."
"A person is only 18 years old, and there will be nothing after that." Bai Yu on the side spoke with a gentle voice.
Qi Ning brushed his hair with a smile, and insisted: "It's really not necessary, I'm already an adult, things like birthdays are not important at all."
A person is only 18 years old, so it is under normal circumstances, but it is a big accident for me to return to ten years ago inexplicably.
At the age of 18 ten years ago, how did he celebrate his birthday?
It seemed as if he was pressed to the ground, his pants were ripped off, and someone stabbed him from behind. The sticky blood mixed with the turbid semen flowed on the ground, making people want to vomit. Watching him being abused, he just stood aside with his arms folded as a spectator, and then one person ended, another person went up, and so on, until he was made to pass out, and then his 18th birthday passed like this.
think of the past, let him
It has been an hour since we arrived at the seaside. At this time, the sun has risen high and is slowly emitting heat. Qi Xia held a floral umbrella to shield his brother from the sun, and walked in together with Xie Dong who was carrying a bag. The largest hot spring hotel by the sea.
The gorgeous buildings that I always saw in magazines appeared in front of my eyes. Qi Ning was slightly taken aback, and then smiled. Qi Xia beside him was full of joy. She has never really seen it before. What about such a beautiful house, the ones that appeared on TV in the past were all floating clouds, floating clouds.
"Go in." Xie Dong put it in his pocket alone, with a smile on Jun's face.
As Qi Ning walked beside him, countless images flashed through his mind.
It was the first time that Xie Dong secretly brought oatmeal crisps from home for him to eat. Xie Dong was the first to rush to him when he knew his parents passed away. Xie Dong stood with him in front of Qi Xia's grave in silence. The calm face, what Xie Dong said when he came to visit him in prison for the first time, the happy light on Xie Dong's face when he brought his wife to see him, Xie Dong...
In this life, it is such a happy thing to have this friend who is like a brother by my side.
"What are you thinking? Smiling so brightly?" Xie Dong leaned over and looked at him jokingly, his eyes as bright as the sun outside.
Qi Ning smiled at him faintly and said, "It's a funny thing."
Xie Dong curled his lips and fell silent.
This hot spring hotel named Xia Ri Nuan Yang was booked by Xie Dong. When he learned that he was going to the beach for vacation, he just grabbed the job to do it. Qi Ning couldn't stop him but didn't say anything. Dong must know that he is struggling financially, that's why he rushes to book a hotel. Qi Ning couldn't bear to refuse this kindness.
Seeing Xie Dong's familiar appearance, Qi Ning couldn't help asking: "Do you come here often?"
"Yes." Xie Dong replied very calmly, and Qi Ning didn't ask any more questions, he must have come with the person who ate him up.
Xie Dong seemed to have thought of this too, a suspicious blush flashed across his fair face, Qi Ning just turned his head slightly to talk to Qi Xia, pretending he didn't see anything.
I didn't realize that Xie Dong blushed so beautifully before.
Qi Ning thought viciously in his heart, wondering if that person knew what Xie Dong was like when he was strong, if he knew, would he be scared away or would he directly turn against the customer and crush him to death?
However, the latter may be larger.
After all, with Xie Dong's temperament, it is still difficult for him to be the one being suppressed. Since the other party has this ability, it only shows that that person must also have two brushes.
While thinking wildly, the room Xie Dong booked arrived.
This is the top floor of the hotel. There are no more than six rooms on the first floor. Rare paintings by famous artists, with warm lighting, there is a sense of mystery spontaneously.
When the waiter opened the door, Qi Xia's big eyes immediately opened to the extreme, and he turned around and asked uncertainly, "Brother Dong, did we go to the wrong room?"
Xie Dong leaned on the door frame in a happy mood, "Sister, live here at ease, even if you want to live here for a year, brother can afford it."
Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Xia rushed into the presidential suite like an excited bird. Qi Ning stood at the door and watched her cheerful back, and became more determined to go north. Ouyang Rui was right. Only with ability can he give Qi Xia a better future and happiness, Peking University is a springboard, he must hold it firmly in his hands.
"Are you satisfied?" Xie Dong put his arms around his chest, trying to claim credit.
Qi Ning praised without hesitation, "Very satisfied, Xie Dong, you are really my good brother."
"Why am I so awkward listening to you?"
Qining only gave him a back view to leave, and carried his luggage into the corner room.
The room Xie Dong booked was naturally the best in the entire hotel. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see the turquoise water. There were many people on the beach. They were wearing swimming trunks or bikinis, with cheerful smiles on their faces. Not far away is the beautiful sea, the waves are hitting layer by layer, setting off a fascinating style.
Qi Ning likes the sea, but he doesn't like to play in only one pair of shorts on the beach, let alone roll around on the sand.
It was only because Qi Xia liked it that he forced himself to like it.
21 figured out
However, seeing that Xie Dong took a pair of colorful swimming trunks and asked him to put them on, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and refused to say anything.
"Ah Ning, we are here to play at the beach, how can you go out dressed like this? Everyone will think you are a monster, come on, put on." Xie Dong held his trousers and continued to lobby, Qi Ning looked down at himself The short-sleeved trousers on his body still feel good, there is no need to wear the clothes Xie Dong has.
"Brother, do I look good dressed like this?" At this moment, Qi Xia suddenly rushed out of the room, the petal swimsuit on her body almost made Qi Ning and Xie Dong faint instantly.
Qi Ning has always known that his sister is very beautiful, but he has never realized it so clearly like this moment, the skin that can be blown away, the tube top swimsuit on the body and the wave swim skirt on the lower body, the slender legs are straight Now that the reality is in front of his eyes, Qi Ning's determination to go to Peking University has been shaken again.
If those people saw Qi Xia like this, they would probably pounce on him like a wolf pouncing on his prey, right?
"Sister, you are beautiful." Xie Dong came back to his senses, and could only praise him so stupidly.
Qi Xia rubbed her head, walked over with an embarrassed smile, saw the clothes on Qining's body, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, why don't you change your clothes?"
"Uh...I..."
"Your brother is sorry." Xie Dong said coolly from the side.
Qi Ning glared at him, and was about to put on the swimming trunks in Xie Dong's hand, but was stopped by his younger sister, "Brother, I know you don't like to go to crowded places, why don't you go to the hot springs, although it's a bit of a stretch to soak in summer? Not suitable, but..."
"No, don't you know why this hotel is so famous? It's because his hot springs are warm in winter and cool in summer. That's how the name Nuanyang in summer comes from."
Qi Ning was stunned when he heard it, he had never heard of a cold hot spring in summer, but he had to try it anyway if he could escape the fate of wearing swimming trunks.
So the three broke up in the hotel lobby. Xie Dong took Qi Xia to the beach behind, and Qi Ning followed the waiter to the hot spring on the east side. There are indeed very few people in the hot spring in summer, almost none. He was so comfortable in the cold water that he wanted to scream twice, Xie Dong was right, the water in this hot spring was as cold as a mountain stream in summer, refreshing.
This is an open-air yard. Peach and apricot trees are planted around the yard, and the trees are carefully decorated with small ornaments, which look more delicate. The toes are trembling.
Faintly someone's voice came, the voice was not loud, and the words were intermittent, Qi Ning got up from the hot spring quickly, took the bathrobe on the side and put it on, after what happened to Li Liang last time, he It's become a bit of a waste of time, but always be careful.
After a while, the voice was getting closer and closer. It was a nice baritone voice. There was a sound of clogs rubbing against the ground on the floor. Standing where he was, Qi Ning saw a figure getting closer and closer, so close that he could see the other person clearly. The face and the slightly raised corners of the lips when speaking.
The man saw him immediately, and after being slightly dazed, he smiled gently.
"I'll call you later." The man said softly into the phone, then cut off the phone, and walked straight to Qi Ning who was standing there dumbfounded.
Qi Ning's mind was a little messed up. The person he was thinking about just now appeared in front of him like this. Everyone would feel a little unresponsive. What's more, that person was wearing the same white bathrobe as his own, and the bathrobe was only white. Simply tie a knot, as if pulling it casually, the knot will be unraveled, revealing the lean body inside.
Realizing that he was thinking further and further away, Qi Ning hurriedly shook his head, and heard a smiling voice from the opposite person: "Qining, what a coincidence."
"What a coincidence." The voice trembled a little.
Seeing the delicate skin on his smooth neck, Ouyang Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, and said after a while: "You came alone?"
"No, Qi Xia and I have Xie Dong." Qining replied, thinking that Ouyang Rui didn't seem to know Xie Dong yet, "Xie Dong is my brother, the kind who grew up together."
Ouyang Rui raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a stream of light in his eyes, "The very iron one?"
"Ah."
Ouyang Rui was still laughing, and began to take off the bathrobe on his body. The robe fell off as expected. Standing there, Qi Ning felt his throat dry, as if something was eager to come out. The body in front of him Healthy and lean, there doesn't seem to be a trace of fat in the whole body, and every part seems to be just right after careful carving, with a slender neck, a broad chest, a thin waist extending all the way to the loose black shorts, and then the pair of slender legs , Qi Ning swallowed his saliva, and then looked at his small body, feeling inexplicably inferior.
It seems that no matter how long she can't grow a standard nine-headed body like Ouyang Rui's.
"Did you just come in too?" Ouyang Rui had already stepped into the hot spring, his sturdy body was swaying under the water, Qining hurriedly restrained his mind and said, "It's been a while."
"Then you..." Ouyang Rui scanned his whole body with his eyes, and Qi Ning immediately understood, "I heard someone coming in just now, and thought..."
He didn't go on talking, and felt that it was embarrassing to say this in front of this person, but Ouyang Rui still had a smiling expression, "Come in and have a drink."
Qi Ning hummed, lowered his head and untied the straps he had tied tightly. After working hard for a long time, he finally succeeded. When he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly met Ouyang Rui's vision, and Qi Ning became stiff again. Although he was 27 At this age, he is already a fully mature man, but he still feels uncomfortable being stared at with that undisguised gaze.
Perhaps Ouyang Rui also sensed the meaning in his eyes, coughed slightly, and said with a light smile: "How many days do you plan to play?"
"Two days." Qi Ning soaked in the hot spring with relief, the feeling just now gradually faded away.
It turned out that Ouyang Rui came here for a meeting. After the meeting, he just took advantage of the hot spring to relieve his fatigue. Qi Ning saw the fatigue between his brows and thought that this person only lived to be 32 years old, and his heart tightened again. He couldn't help but said: "Be careful Body."
"Yes, I see." Ouyang Rui replied lazily, but there was a touch of joy in his tone.
Qining closed his eyes, pretending not to see the upward curve of the man's lips.
His heart was beating so fast, Qi Ning quietly pressed the position of his left chest, he had never been in a relationship before, he didn't know if he liked someone like he is now, he would miss him when he couldn't see it, and would involuntarily want to run away when he saw it, run away Stay far away, so as not to let the other party hear your out-of-rhythm heartbeat.
The atrium occupied by a strange feeling is full, as if a little more emotion will overflow.
It was a completely different feeling, a feeling that you would not have had with anyone except Ouyang Rui, it was both sweet and sentimental, both joyful and sad.
"Have you thought about the university?" Ouyang Rui's voice suddenly came, especially deep and charming in the quiet space.
Qi Ning opened his eyes and curled his mouth: "I'm going to Beijing."
Ouyang Rui on the side paused for a moment, then said, "Why did you figure it out again?"
"Suddenly I figured it out."
"When are you leaving? Have you bought the ticket?"
Qi Ning changed his posture before slowly answering: "I will buy tickets the day after tomorrow, and I have to report to school before September 9st."
Ouyang Rui didn't speak, and could only hear the sound of birdsong and each other's breathing for a while, Qining turned his head to take a look, and found that Ouyang Rui had his eyes closed, so he didn't speak anymore and lay on the stone, feeling suddenly depressed Yes, don't know if it's because of the weather or something else.
Unknowingly, sleepiness surged up, and Qi Ning fell into the hot spring and fell asleep peacefully.
I have complete trust in Ouyang Rui in my heart, that's why I let myself fall asleep so recklessly. Perhaps, this person is the most special existence to him, even more special than Qi Xia. Before his consciousness left his body, Qi Ning fainted. think.
Ouyang Rui got up from the hot spring, pulled off the bathrobe on the side and put it on. When he was about to call Qining, he found that he had fallen asleep with a faint smile on his mouth. Ouyang Rui walked over gently, knelt down and looked at The young man sleeping soundly in the hot spring closed his eyes peacefully and peacefully, like a simple and elegant ink painting, so light that it made people feel that they couldn't get enough of it.
22 beach
The slender fingers slowly caressed the young man's elegant face, not daring to get too close, and could only follow the clear outline to draw it carefully. The man's eyes were full of smiles and vague affection, only his slender lips Slightly evoked, my heart is full of satisfaction.
Looking at the wall clock not far away, Ouyang Rui leaned over and picked up the person in the hot spring. What he touched was a piece of delicate skin, but it was too thin.
He took the bathrobe at the side and put it on for the person in his arms, as if disturbed by the sudden outside world, the boy in his arms frowned slightly, but did not wake up, Ouyang Rui poked the face of the person in his arms amusedly, Then he picked him up carefully and strode outside.
People passing by were curious that the young mayor was holding a person in his arms, and the expression on his face was also rare and gentle. Unfortunately, the face of the person in the mayor's arms was sunken in a shadow, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. But judging from that small body, it looks like she should be a woman, but she is too slender, so everyone is relieved, the mayor finally found the girl he likes after being idle for so long, so everyone has something to talk about after dinner.
Ouyang Rui put Qi Ning on the big soft bed, turned up the air-conditioning, and took a thin quilt to cover the sound sleeper, then slowly walked to the sofa by the window and sat down. He took out a book from the display shelf next to him and read it, but he didn't read a single word.
The sun poured in from behind, casting shadows all over the ground.
When Qi Ning woke up, the sky outside was completely dark, but the surroundings were not dark because of the illumination of street lamps.
Sitting up from the bed, the layout of the room was a little strange, not the one Xie Dong booked.
Looking down, the shorts and bathrobes he wore in the hot spring in the afternoon were gone, replaced by silk pajamas that were obviously a size too big, his head was blown into nothingness, he hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran out, When he saw the man talking on the phone with his back turned to him in the living room, the blankness immediately turned into embarrassment.
He just fell asleep like that.
Moreover, it was Ouyang Rui who changed the clothes for him, and... it seemed that he had been seen.
Hearing the voice behind him, Ouyang Rui said a few words to the phone in a low voice and then hung up. He had already changed into a black T-shirt and khaki pants, and stood straight in front of the French window, with infinite fireworks and fireworks behind him. The sky was as dark as ink, and Qi Ning stood at the door of the bedroom, suddenly he didn't know what to say, he only felt that the silk pajamas on his body were very hot.
"Are you hungry?" Ouyang Rui automatically ignored the embarrassment on his face and asked gently.
Qi Ning's stomach groaned in an embarrassing way, and Qi Ning lowered his head, just wanting to find a hole in the ground to drill down.
Ouyang Rui approached him, saw the young man's reddish ears and side face, and patted him on the shoulder happily, "What do you want to eat?"
"Uh...Qi Xia might be looking for me, I'll..."
"Qi Xia and Xie Dong came here just now, I said you are still resting, let them play with themselves." Ouyang Rui interrupted him calmly, with bright light flowing in his eyes, Qi Ning only took one look and then hurried He looked away, feeling the temperature on his face getting higher.
I didn't think it was awkward before, but since I was sure of my mind, I couldn't look into Ouyang Rui's eyes and talk, as if I would be sucked in by those black pupils if I was not careful, and I would never recover.
Qi Ning took a slight step away and walked to the place where Ouyang Rui was standing just now. He could clearly see the people having BBQ on the beach not far away. Not far from them was the quiet and peaceful sea. Even standing here, he seemed to be able to hear The sound of sea water lapping on the shore.
"Why don't we go to barbecue too." Ouyang Rui came behind him at some point, the distance between the two of them was so close that Qining could feel the hot air from the man on his neck, it was so crispy and numb that it was involuntary want to escape.
Qi Ning hesitated, and said after a while: "You are the mayor, you can be regarded as a public figure after all, wouldn't it be strange to have a barbecue under the beach?"
Ouyang Rui rubbed his hair with a smile, the warm touch on his head made Qi Ning's calm heartbeat start to become disordered again, Ouyang Rui broke in with a smiling voice like this: "Fool, the mayor is also a human being, too It needs to be lived and enjoyed."
Listening to the joy in his voice, Qi Ning also laughed. Maybe Ouyang Rui in his previous life died young because he pushed himself too hard. In this life, he owed him a favor, so no matter what , but also to let this elegant and handsome man in front of him live a good life.
When he walked out of the room with Ouyang Rui, Qi Ning looked at the house number of the room, "So you live next door to us?" No wonder Qi Xia and Xie Dong would find him.
Ouyang Rui didn't speak, just nodded with a smile.
It can be seen that Ouyang Rui, like Xie Dong, is a frequent visitor here.
People passing by all nodded to Ouyang Rui one after another, and some would come up to have a chat, and the compliments in their words made Qi Ning frown involuntarily.
These people in front of them all had smiling faces, and held Ouyang Rui's slender hand affectionately with both hands, with a friendly and kind look. If one day, when Ouyang Rui is no longer high in power and no longer useful, I don't know Can these people still maintain their current faces?
Ouyang Rui always had a faint smile on his face, neither affectionate nor alienated. Looking at his perfect profile, Qi Ning silently thought, this is the way of human existence, even if you are unwilling, You have to put on a smiling face to greet people, even Ouyang Rui, who is the mayor, is no exception.
"Who is this?" The person who had been holding Ouyang Rui to greet him noticed Qi Ning and asked with a smile.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Ouyang Rui's brows, and then he took Qin Ning's shoulders and said with a smile, "My cousin." He didn't even want to let the other party know his name.
Qi Ning was a little surprised, but he was relieved immediately, and smiled politely, "Hello."
The fat man on the opposite side narrowed his eyes slightly, he seemed to be very interested in Qi Ning, but because of Ouyang Rui's presence, and because Ouyang Rui's cousin was somewhat scrupulous, the two sides exchanged a few hypocritical compliments Just waved goodbye.
It wasn't until the figure of the man disappeared from sight that Ouyang Rui's low voice came: "I will take a detour when I see this man in the future."
Qi Ning nodded honestly, he naturally knew Ouyang Rui's worry, the man looked at him too openly, even if he wanted to pretend he didn't see it, it was impossible.
Seeing his obedient appearance, Ouyang Rui suddenly brightened his unexpected mood just now. He took the hand of the young man beside him and walked to the service desk. There was a slight fluctuation on the calm pretty face, "Mr. Ouyang, what can I do for you?" Very professional.
"Prepare the barbecue for me on the beach." Ouyang Rui's voice was faint, but he didn't let go of Qining's hand, and still held it naturally, neither loose nor tight, and he couldn't tell what his intention was. Qi Ning was slightly stunned, as if once he met this person, all his calmness would disappear. Could this be the legendary ape dung? !
Upon hearing this, the front desk lady immediately replied respectfully: "Okay, please wait a moment." Then she dialed the internal line to get someone ready, and Ouyang Rui had already pulled Qi Ning to the beach.
When the two arrived at the beach, the grill had already been set up, and there were two small stools next to it, and all kinds of ingredients and condiments were neatly placed on the small round table beside it. Qi Ning had to admire the hotel's work Efficiency, or in other words, he should admire Ouyang Rui's strong background and transcendent status. The front desk lady looked at Ouyang Rui not only because he was the mayor of Jianning City, but there were too many emotions in her eyes, admiration and admiration , trust, respect and... amazing.
23 Difficult
"In fact, our city should build a few more playgrounds. The park facilities are outdated. There is no place for children to play except wandering in the street on weekends." Ouyang Rui's voice brought back his wandering thoughts, and Qi Ning thought As soon as he moved, he heard Ouyang Rui say again: "If I want to build a playground near Minhuan Road, what do you think?" His gaze was fixed on Qi Ning, as if Qi Ning's answer was very important to him .
Sure enough.
The house left by my parents is going to be demolished and built into a place for people to play. "Is it like Disney?" I will no longer be afraid of losing the precious memories of my parents, and I will no longer be afraid of not being able to rely on when I dream back in the middle of the night. All that is left at this moment is complete peace and calm.
Ouyang Rui strung the chicken legs on the iron hairpin, carefully brushed soy sauce and chili powder on it, and then slowly replied: "It's probably not possible at the moment, but I think we should be able to build a domestic first-class playground for entertainment, food and drink. , shopping and tourism are all in one line.”
Qi Ning nodded, "It is not impossible for tourism to drive consumption and economic development, but the first thing we need to consider is the cost of building the playground and all the surrounding service facilities. If we are heavily in debt, we may not be able to achieve the desired results. "What I learned in prison from economic criminals can't be useless in the end.
"The cost is not a problem. I will ask Xiaoqi to come up with a plan tomorrow, and we will have a meeting to make a decision." While speaking, the string of chicken legs in Ouyang Rui's hand was already cooked, and he put the chicken legs on the plate, and then Cut a few slits on it with a knife, then brushed spices and sesame oil on it with a brush, and when it was grilled again, the rich smell of meat came out. Qining stared at the chicken leg in his hand, swallowing secretly, why They look delicious.
"Here, be careful it's hot." Ouyang Rui handed the fully cooked chicken leg to him, his eyes were extraordinarily dazzling against the light.
Qi Ning was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to accept it or not. He ate the free food first and felt bad after all, but Ouyang Rui just laughed and cut the chicken leg into pieces with a knife and handed it to him. This time, Qi Ning didn't delay any longer. I took the chopsticks and started to eat. What I got in my mouth was rich and tender chicken, so delicious that I wanted to swallow it with my tongue.
There are a lot of people grilling around, they are laughing, drinking and eating meat, they look tactful and rough under the thick night, the sea not far away is slightly tumbling waves, Qi Ning is fascinated by it, even the chopsticks in his hand are not Knowing what to let go, "When I was young, my parents often brought Qi Xia and me to play here. At that time, the sky seemed to be higher and the sea water was clearer. Qi Xia always liked to take my mother's hand and run barefoot to the shallows. Playing, my dad and I will stand on the shore and watch them. These are the two most important women in my dad’s and me’s life. If they can always be by my side, I think I can accept any test given by life. Dad often said that the sea can accommodate hundreds of rivers, and people should be as tolerant as the sea, regardless of small details, but I can't do it."
Qi Xia's death made him lose his mind, and there was only one voice in his heart: the culprit must be cut into pieces.
So Li Feng died, he went to jail, and his life was completely ruined.
If he could choose, he thought, he would do it again, kill Li Feng to avenge Qi Xia, and stay in prison until his death.
In fact, he is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of ruining his future. What he fears most is that his only relative will leave him. From now on, he will be the only one left to live alone in this world.
"Life is like this. Dissatisfaction is eight or nine out of ten. If you have to count everything down, it will only make your life more tiring. What's more, in my opinion, you are already very good." Ouyang Rui Looking at him all the time, his voice was a little fuzzy in the weak sea breeze, but his tone was extremely firm. Qi Ning looked at him blankly, and saw a glimmer of light in the man's deep eyes, like the dawn before dawn, faint but bright.
At this moment, Qi Ning almost wanted to cry.
The tears he had never shed when he encountered the most embarrassing situation in his life, at this moment, in front of this person named Ouyang Rui, for the first time, he wanted to cry heartily, turning all the silence and pain into tears After being excreted from the body, all that remains is to cherish and grasp it.
"Have I ever told you that my mother is my dad's second wife?" Ouyang Rui was still baking a piece of rice cake carefully, the snow-white cake body was coated with appetizing seasoning, Qi Ning Looking at the piece of rice cake, I couldn't raise my head to look at the person's face, for fear of seeing pain and other depressed emotions on it.
Any emotions related to negative emotions should not appear in him.
Ouyang Rui in his memory was young, introverted, calm and powerful. Such a person must have a perfect family, a shrewd father, and a gentle mother. That is the family about Ouyang Rui in Qi Ning's heart.
"At that time, I was too young. I didn't understand why my dad could make out with other women in front of my mom, and I couldn't understand why my mom was so calm when she saw all this. Until I was ten years old, my mom said yes I said, if you want to have your own life, you have to choose, either stay at home as a young master with a planned life, or go out and take the path you want to take." Ouyang Rui's voice was surprisingly calm, as if While talking about other people's affairs, Qi Ning sat there in a daze, unable to find any words to describe his mood at the moment, why did Ouyang Rui say these things to him?Why do you say that?Why?
"You chose the most difficult path." After a long time, Qi Ning found his own voice.
The handsome face of the man opposite was still smiling, as if it was just Qi Ning dreaming that Ouyang Rui confided his inner secrets to him and told about those unknown past events.
"If you want to keep your life out of control, you have to give it a go." When the man spoke, the corners of his raised lips were full and moist under the not-so-bright light. Qining looked straight at those two thin lips, and suddenly felt the desire to kiss. The impulsiveness/movement to go up, after all, still has some self-control to not do such a shocking thing in the public.
"Qining, if you want to have something you shouldn't have, you must learn to choose." Ouyang Rui said something suddenly, and Qining met his gaze, and then quickly turned away as if being burned , the panicked side face made the man on the opposite side feel more comfortable, and even a rare comfortable smile appeared on his usually gentle face. There were already several tables of guests looking over, and everyone was puzzled. Why is the mayor smiling so heartily?
24 Believe
At the end of the barbecue, Qi Xia, who had been wild all day, finally appeared, and Qi Ning saw a man beside her, wearing a white T-shirt and beach pants, with a clean and elegant face, but that man was not Xie Dong.
"Where's your brother Dong?" Qi Ning stood up and asked, and Bai Yu beside Qi Xia said softly: "Xie Dong met a friend, so he asked me to send Xiao Xia to you."
For Bai Yu, Qi Ning actually doesn't dislike him, on the contrary, he has a pure appreciation. This man feels very dry, like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks. Such a person holds a first-class chef certificate. No one will believe it.
"Hi, long time no see." Qi Ning nodded at him with a calm tone.
With a gentle smile on Bai Yu's face, he said softly: "I heard from Xiao Xia that you are going to Peking University?"
"Correct."
Qi Xia suddenly tugged at his elder brother's hand, and asked softly, "Brother, is that the mayor?"
Qi Ning was taken aback, only caring about Qi Xia and Bai Yu, and left Ouyang Rui aside, he hurriedly pulled Qi Xia: "Xiao Xia, this is Mayor Ouyang." Then he said to Ouyang Rui: "Mayor, this It's my sister Qi Xia, and this is her master Bai Yu."
Ouyang Rui stood up with a smile, his eyes swept over Bai Yu, and then fixed on Qi Xia, "Hi Xiao Xia, I often hear your brother mention you." His tone was full of kindness that could not be ignored.
"Mayor Ouyang, you are so young." After all, he is a child at heart. Qi Xia saw such a handsome and elegant man standing in front of him with red hearts in his eyes. It sounded: "It's been a long time since no one said I was young."
"Hahaha, mayor, you are not only handsome, but you are also so humorous. You are not as serious as you imagined." Qi Xia sat down on the stool beside Ouyang Rui familiarly, her beautiful face under the light more and more beautiful.
Ouyang Rui also turned his head to look at her, "Should I be a serious old man in people's hearts?"
"That's definitely not the case. Although everyone thinks you are serious, but when it comes to the old man, you are definitely not. You are so young and handsome. I don't know how many girls in our class have fascinated. Even our female class teacher is right. You have admired for a long time." Qi Xia didn't seem to have any barriers against Ouyang Rui at all, and after a while, the two chatted.
Qi Ning still sat down, his mood was no longer as comfortable as before.
Why, he parted his lips and revealed a sneering smile, as expected, love can drive people crazy.
Bai Yu, who sat down with him, was very quiet all the time. He took a bunch of potatoes and baked them. He listened to the conversation between Ouyang Rui and Qi Xia, and occasionally interjected a few words. Haimian was in a daze, Qi Xia called him several times before he came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, what are you thinking? Brother Ouyang is asking you something." Qi Xia stared at his brother with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Brother Ouyang?
The progress of the two is really fast, Qi Ning lowered his head and smiled, even though Qi Xia is only 15 years old, but if Ouyang Rui likes her, he should be willing to wait until she grows up.
The scene when Qi Xia and Ouyang Rui were standing together frightened him for an instant. He might have thought that Ouyang Rui was straight, but he had never seen a woman beside him, except for the foreign woman he met in the western restaurant. Just now when he saw his sister standing next to him, he suddenly thought that only a woman is qualified to have the position next to a man like Ouyang Rui. As a man, no matter how hard he tries, he seems unable to reach that height.
When he was sentenced to 11 years in prison ten years ago, he had already accepted his fate.
After rebirth, reality is still teaching him how to accept his fate.
Thinking of this, he still smiled, Ouyang Rui narrowed his eyes slightly to see the expression on his face, his handsome face was instantly covered with an unpredictable smile, and his voice seemed extremely calm in this smile: "Qining, how do you want to spend your birthday?" ?”
Qi Ning was stunned for a while before he understood, and hurriedly said: "I was probably already in Beijing at that time, and I'm used to not having a birthday for so many years."
The smile on Ouyang Rui's lips grew stronger, "It's better to pass earlier."
"No, I'm not used to sudden birthdays."
"A person is only 18 years old, and there will be nothing after that." Bai Yu on the side spoke with a gentle voice.
Qi Ning brushed his hair with a smile, and insisted: "It's really not necessary, I'm already an adult, things like birthdays are not important at all."
A person is only 18 years old, so it is under normal circumstances, but it is a big accident for me to return to ten years ago inexplicably.
At the age of 18 ten years ago, how did he celebrate his birthday?
It seemed as if he was pressed to the ground, his pants were ripped off, and someone stabbed him from behind. The sticky blood mixed with the turbid semen flowed on the ground, making people want to vomit. Watching him being abused, he just stood aside with his arms folded as a spectator, and then one person ended, another person went up, and so on, until he was made to pass out, and then his 18th birthday passed like this.
think of the past, let him
