Contention

Lu Yuexi's patience is truly amazing.

Appearing suddenly, or at the school gate, or downstairs in the dormitory, or in front of the library.

The two would meet occasionally, and Zou Feiniao would avoid seeing each other more often after noticing it, but after returning to the dormitory, the auntie in charge would hand her some gifts that had been brought to her.

It's trivial things, like chocolates, whale-related artwork, or a new pair of shoes that fit her size.

Sometimes it is even a bouquet of flowers, of different types, roses, jasmines, and lilies, sprinkled with water for conservation, with a greeting card inside, always with a simple word written on it, Lu.

There are too many things collected, and the housekeeper's aunt doesn't look right when she looks at her.

Seeing this, Hao Yushuang leaned on her shoulder and sighed, "Help, if it were me, we might get back together. Feiniao, I think she really likes you. If it's impossible for her to be with that first love, why don't you consider it? Next? She's not cheating, is she? "

Zou Feiniao didn't talk to her much, and the other party didn't know many details.Hearing this, she just smiled, did not explain, and did not show any attitude.

She won't throw away the things Lu Yuexi gave her. Things are things, and people are people. There's no need to be serious with things.

Whatever Lu Yue was reluctant to send back, she would send them back one by one, unless it was inconvenient to send bouquets, she would keep them and put them in the vases in the dormitory, as a decoration for the room, and other people would feel happy when they saw it.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, Lu Yuexi planned to go to Xiamen for the New Year's Eve, but something happened to Wu Rurong there.

She was still in a daze when she received the call. Why did a couple who were usually in harmony suddenly quarrel?

Wu Rurong didn't want to go home, nor did she want to go back to her mother's house, so she came to look for Lu Yuexi with a big belly, and the two went to Rong Jin's to stay temporarily.

Now that she is nearly eight months pregnant, Lu Yuexi is terrified by seeing it, and dare not order takeaway, for fear of spoiling her stomach, so she cooks for her herself.

Asking her why she quarreled is also a trivial matter, which is related to the child's future.

Wu Rurong had already calmed down, touched her stomach, and sighed: "Maybe I'm pregnant and I have a bad temper. He doesn't like it no matter how he sees it. I heard from him that I have changed a lot, and I became angry immediately."

Lu Yuexi was processing meat slices in the kitchen, and smiled when she heard this: "Your temper has always been like this, why has it changed? I didn't see it. Husband and wife, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, didn't he call several times to coax you?"

"...I actually forgave him, but I can't just let it go." Wu Rurong snorted, "Maybe it's because he enjoyed the process of being coaxed. Seeing that he cares about me, I finally feel better."

Lu Yuexi suddenly thought of Zou Feiniao, and his heart was slightly touched.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while, and Lu Yuexi said, "Call Zou Feiniao."

"what?"

"I call, but she won't answer. If you call, she will definitely answer."

"Ah..." Wu Rurong teased, "The more I cherish it, the more I cherish it. For the past ten years, I have seen you chasing others, why do you still do it now?"

After the joke was over, she understood and called Zou Feiniao.It didn't take long for the other party to pick it up, with some doubts:

"Miss Rong?"

Wu Rurong responded, "Feiniao, it's almost New Year's Eve, how have you been recently?"

Zou Feiniao said, "I'm fine, thank you, how about you?"

"I'm fine too." After Wu Rurong finished speaking, without mentioning that Lu Yuexi wanted to talk to her, she directly handed over the phone and sat beside her to watch.

Lu Yuexi took the phone and said with a smile: "Feiniao, I can't spend New Year's Day with you. I have to take care of your sister Rong for a few days. Her family has something to do. Don't think too much about it."

What she said was like coaxing a girlfriend, it was too shameless, making others care about her coming.

Zou Feiniao was silent for a moment after hearing her voice, and finally understood why Wu Rurong suddenly called him, said "um", and stopped talking.

Lu Yuexi was afraid of annoying her, so he didn't say much, and returned the phone to Wu Rurong, asking them to say a few words to ease the atmosphere.

On New Year's Day, the calendar turned over.When Wu Rurong woke up early in the morning, Lu Yuexi knocked on the door and came in.

She didn't leave after asking what she had for breakfast, but stood beside the bed, looking thoughtful.

Wu Rurong came to her senses, yawned, and said, "The phone is there, just call if you want."

"How did you know I wanted to call?"

"I'm a professional wingman, you trained/taught me yourself."

"..." Lu Yuexi picked up her mobile phone, but didn't turn on the screen immediately. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly asked, "Do you think it's possible for me to be like her?"

"Is it possible that you have the final say? It's up to you."

Lu Yuexi shook his head: "It's too hard to chase."

"No matter how difficult it is, haven't you persisted for ten years?"

"but……"

"It's yours, it should be yours. Even if I persuade you that it's impossible, you will still make this call, won't you?"

"That's true."

The two looked at each other and smiled, they had a tacit understanding for many years.

After the final exam, Zou Feiniao went to Hubei because of Luheng's activities. Some incidents happened in the middle, and he stayed there for a while.

It was already New Year's Eve when I returned to Oucheng.Smoking and firecrackers are banned in the urban area, but some people secretly release them. When passing by the alleys, the smell of fireworks is everywhere.

After opening the door and entering the room, she hesitated at the door, but went in with her suitcase.

Auntie Fang was talking to Lu Yuexi, and when she saw her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "There is a traffic jam on the road? You told me you arrived at the station an hour ago, why are you only home now?"

"Well, it's blocked. I saw a road being repaired." Zou Feiniao didn't even look at Lu Yuexi, and went back to the room to put things away one by one.

Lu Yuexi followed behind and asked, "What have you been doing these days, why are you only coming home now?"

Zou Feiniao didn't answer, just took out the clothes from the suitcase and hung them in the closet.

"I heard from Aunt Fang that you went to participate in activities with the Marine Biology Conservation Association and went to Hubei. Are you busy with this?"

Zou Feiniao replied quietly: "Since my mother will tell you, you can just ask my mother, and you don't need to ask me again."

Lu Yuexi didn't care about the words, just leaned against the door frame and looked at her with a smile.Zou Feiniao guessed that he was very busy during this time, and he looked like he hadn't slept well, and his eyes were dark.

After tidying up his things, Zou Feiniao took off his glasses, took off his woolen coat and put it on the back of the chair, turned to look at her, a little impatient: "I want to rest for a while."

When Lu Yuexi heard this, she took the initiative to close the door for her, but she was still standing in the room.

The sound insulation of the room is not good, the sound is slightly louder, and people outside can hear the movement inside.Her mother was still outside, Zou Feiniao pursed her lower lip, too lazy to rush away, and went to close the curtains.

In her small bedroom, Lu Yuexi slept eight times if not ten times, and it was impossible to make her polite.

Seeing Zou Feiniao sitting on the edge of the bed and taking off her shoes, she went to the desk and sat down.There was a file folder, which Zou Feiniao just took out from the suitcase.

The curtains were closed tightly, but it was still daytime outside, and the light in the room was dim, with a few wisps of white coming in through the gaps in the curtains, Lu Yuexi asked, "Can you show me this?"

When Zou Feiniao was sleepy, he frowned slightly and looked at her, then responded casually.

Lu Yuexi opened the folder, and there were several documents and some draft paper inside. The words on the draft paper were written by Zou Feiniao.

There is a record of the itinerary for a certain day, and there are also reminders written down by hand.

Looking at those documents again, the little girl is really busy these days.

He set up publicity lectures in several colleges and universities in Hubei, conducted environmental surveys in various cities, organized relevant volunteers to carry out voluntary activities, and raised funds from major foundations.

Huiyan also has several charitable foundations under its name, and occasionally engages in activities with people in the government, including environmental protection.

But of course not as formal as such an association.Huiyan engages in these charitable voluntary activities not just to contribute to society.

After all, cooperating with the government to do charity, one earns a reputation, and the other builds contacts. Huiyan can quickly approve any requests from the higher-ups. Naturally, it kills two birds with one stone.

Lu Yuexi flipped through the documents, skipped over the densely packed words, and let out a "tsk".Sometimes she really can't understand Zou Feiniao's behavior.

It doesn't matter if you are hot-blooded or in the second grade.Why make yourself so tired for these things that have little to do with you?

When the pay is greater than the gain, and there is no visible actual benefit, from the perspective of a businessman, these things are indeed very disadvantageous.

Lu Yuexi secretly glanced at Zou Feiniao who was already lying on the bed. She rested one hand on her forehead, her posture was relaxed, her breathing was even, she must have fallen asleep.

She sat on the chair and listened quietly to the girl's shallow breathing, and suddenly felt that no matter what the other party did, as long as it made her happy, then she would support her desperately.

Lu Yuexi smiled slightly, and continued to look down at the folder in his hand.Turning to the back, there is still a stack of photos sandwiched between the document papers.

HPColorLaser's glossy photo paper looks like it was printed by a small household camera printer. It should be a commemorative photo sent by the association when they were doing activities.

Zou Feiniao is probably not very willing to be on camera. When taking pictures, she always stands in the corner, and the group photo is also the same. A large group of people pose for the camera. She is the only one wearing a hat, standing on the sidelines and staring at the grass.

Lu Yuexi raised his eyebrows, pointed at the villain in the photo with his finger, and continued to look at it.

When she saw the last photo, she was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she was delusional, she went to the window, opened a corner of the curtain, and carefully described the woman standing beside Zou Feiniao by the light.

Only then was she sure that she hadn't admitted her mistake.The woman in the photo is the "Boss Yu" Zhou Weiye introduced to her at the Shanghai business seminar that day.

Lu Yuexi squinted his eyes, feeling a little subtle.

She thought of Zhou Weiye's respectful and cautious attitude that day, the woman's temperament that cannot be underestimated, and her seemingly unintentional mention that her husband was a member of the Marine Life Protection Association.

Lu Yuexi looked at the bed again, Zou Feiniao was already fast asleep.Her hair was slightly disheveled, her eyebrows and eyes were quiet, but her eye sockets were heavily shadowed, and she looked extremely tired.

She sighed faintly, took out this photo alone, sat on the edge of the bed, and bent down slightly.

The two were head to head, and Lu Yuexi was not afraid of waking Zou Feiniao up.She stretched out her hand, from the other party's beautiful eyebrows, and stroked the soft lips bit by bit.

When Zou Feiniao was about to wake up, he always felt that the quilt was being pressed by a heavy object in the haze, and he pulled it casually, and suddenly a chuckle came from beside him: "Are you awake?"

She regained consciousness immediately, and when she turned her head, she met Lu Yuexi's gaze.

Zou Feiniao sat up slightly, frowning: "What are you doing?" When she first woke up, her voice was still slightly hoarse. She looked down and noticed the photo in the other party's hand.

Lu Yuexi noticed her gaze, raised the picture, and asked, "How do you know this girl?"

Zou Feiniao didn't want to talk to her in such a half-lying position, so he simply got up and got out of bed.While putting on his shoes, he said, "It has nothing to do with you."

"But I've seen this girl before." Seeing her getting out of bed, Lu Yuexi lay down on her side. There was still warmth in the middle of the bed, and everything was comfortable. "I'm just asking, don't think too much."

"..."

The other party didn't say a word, Lu Yuexi turned over, looked at her, and sighed:

"Finiao, you join the association, make friends, and have your own circle. These are all good things. But you must be careful with some people. At least you must know her origin. Do you know her identity? Do you know who she is? What did you do?"

Zou Feiniao lowered his eyes, took the coat on the back of the chair, put it on, and tidied up the clothes slowly:

"So what if you know, so what if you don't know? I just took a photo with her, and nothing else." She said flatly, "Your business has nothing to do with me, and mine has nothing to do with you. "

Lu Yuexi made it boring, seeing her reticent appearance, he didn't bother to continue talking.

When Zou Feiniao left the bedroom, Lu Yuexi was still lying on her bed with half of her face buried in the pillow, taking a nap with her eyes closed.

She stood at the door and watched quietly for a while, then closed the door.

As Lu Yuexi said, she really didn't know where that woman came from.Meeting her was an accident, but not a bad one.

At that time, Zou Feiniao was planning to go to several counties to conduct environmental investigations after finishing the lecture with a group from the association.

Passing by a remote village, they saw a stinking river filled with chemical waste.

Seeing this, the chairman of the association asked the villagers to ask. It turned out that a plastic factory was built in the upper reaches of the river, and a large amount of waste was discharged into the river every day.

The villagers have reported it several times, but it is useless. After a long time, people around the river can move, and there is no one living next to it.

A group of people who went with them made a joint report call and submitted detailed information on the website.

After waiting for two days without a reply, the president simply went directly to the relevant department to submit paper materials.

Later, they drove to the next county town, and found a van following them on the way.

After Zou Feiniao noticed it, he felt strange, so he mentioned it.

The president got out of the car immediately after hearing the words, and stopped the van with a few people.The car stopped, and a dozen or so people got off. The leader held an iron rod and was arrogant:

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. If you stretch your arms so long, I think you owe a lesson. What's going on here has something to do with you? You outsiders, where did you come from?"

Then they said a lot of bad words, and the iron rod was waved back and forth, trying to scare them.

The president got angry on the spot, but he didn't confront them head-on.When he arrived at the hotel, he called one person. Except for Zou Feiniao, the others seemed to understand and were not so aggrieved.

The next day, Zou Feiniao and the vice president went to a private meeting room on the second floor of the hotel to discuss something with the president.

The door was unlocked, and there was an emergency, so the vice president knocked casually and opened the door and went in.

As soon as he entered the door, there were three other people in the living room besides the president.One of them, Zou Feiniao, I still knew, was the woman who talked to her after the debate that day.

The president stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a gloomy face, but the woman was calm and composed, and said with a smile: "...you have made some progress. This time, you didn't directly deal with people like you did in Harbin."

At the age of about 40 years old, the president still looks like an angry child in front of women. Hearing what she said, he rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and sighed in a lonely tone:

"Senior sister, why do you say that there are so many things like this?"

"Doing this kind of thing, who doesn't walk in the dark by holding a candle?" The woman persuaded softly, "It's not the first time you've met me, so don't worry too much, just think about how to solve it."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the two people standing at the door, as if they were already prepared, he smiled and said, "Little classmate, we meet again."

Zou Feiniao didn't know how to react, so he could only nod his head, but the vice president beside him was in awe and called out, "Sister Yu, you're here."

Sister Yu said: "Since you have something to do, you should talk about it first. I'll go out for a walk and come back later."

After saying that, he took the two attendants and left. When he passed by Zou Feiniao, he exchanged a glance with her. Sister Yu smiled and said softly, "Let's talk later."

After she left, the vice president was very surprised: "Sister Yu knows you?"

Hearing this, the president turned around, his face was finally not so ugly, he just gave Zou Feiniao a meaningful look, and explained: "I have seen this child a few times, and asked me about it."

Zou Feiniao asked: "Is she also a member of the association?"

The president smiled: "No, but she is a nobleman of Lvheng. She was the senior sister of my school when I was a PhD student, and I was introduced to Lvheng by her."

At the end, he added, "She is very pleased with you, Feiniao, you have to have a good talk with her later."
