Chapter 185: First Snow in the Capital
Snowflakes danced outside the window.
Yet inside, it was full of spring.
The ample heating caused sweat to constantly seep from Li Luo's body, soaking through the bandages wrapped around him.
But he was completely unaware.
He continued with his rehabilitation training after his injury.
If one were to talk about a singer's voice, it was truly no joke; the way she sang was simply winding and intricate.
It increased Li Luo's attack speed out of thin air.
Driven by this attack speed, the fountain effect was triggered from time to time.
An ethereal little high note.
Made Li Luo's scalp tingle in waves.
When Wang Fei once again tilted her slender neck high back, he also gritted his teeth tightly.
【Conquer the lark, let her sing only for you.】
【Indulgence successful!】
【Reward: Charisma +1】
After this battle, his Charisma value successfully reached 75 points. Compared to the 50 points of an ordinary person, this value was already considered quite excellent; even as a novice, he could easily attract others' gazes while walking on the street.
However, Li Luo felt it was still not enough.
He still needed to work harder!
"Ha~"
He grinned, feeling that he had finally recovered the refreshing spirit he had before the injury.
The person on the kang was currently in a vacant state.
Not only that.
Her legs also twitched from time to time.
Seeing this, Li Luo laughed heartily and gave her plump buttocks a loud slap.
Following this movement.
Wang Fei hugged the pillow and let out a weak groan.
This guy was like a tiger that didn't know fatigue, making her feel as if she were still floating on the clouds. Recalling that incomparable sense of conquest, she couldn't help but straighten her toes.
Looking at the mineral water Li Luo handed over.
She hurriedly poured it into her mouth, moistening her parched throat.
"You guy..."
After panting heavily a few times, she wiped the water droplets from the corner of her mouth: "How come you look completely uninjured? If I hadn't seen you bleeding at the time, I would have suspected you were faking it."
"Why do you say that?"
Li Luo threw over a few pillows and leaned back comfortably.
"What do you think?"
Wang Fei avoided the bandages on his body and greedily sought kisses again.
The meaning was already obvious enough.
After a short ten seconds passed, Li Luo patted the other party's buttocks: "I am indeed injured, so to prevent the stitches from bursting, please take the seat, Ms. Wang Fei!"
"You're doing it again???"
The diva glanced down and was surprised to find that he was already prepared.
She looked at Li Luo with a face full of charm.
She slowly took her seat.
Amidst the first snow in the capital, a song of the spring river and autumn waters was chanted until late at night, until the diva's voice became hoarse, and until she was completely exhausted, only then did she fall into a deep sleep.
In just one night, the eaves were covered with a thick layer of snow.
In the courtyard.
A carpet had also been laid out.
Adding quite a bit of poetic charm to the yard.
Li Luo woke up early as usual. Listening to the faint breathing beside him, his gaze fell on the sleeping Wang Fei. Her complexion at this moment was rosy, like a baby.
Her expression was extremely satisfied!
Even in her deep sleep, a faint smile hung on the corners of her mouth.
The thin quilt covered her haphazardly, revealing large patches of spring scenery; her skin was not exactly fair, but it was very delicate.
The touch it gave.
Was like extremely smooth silk.
As Wang Fei gently kicked her legs, a touch of pink came into view.
Li Luo admired it steadily for a while, pulled the quilt over to cover her, then turned over to put on a pure white bathrobe, took a cigar from the wooden box on the table nearby, and quietly walked out of the house.
This little young woman.
Was truly spirited.
If you don't experience some things, you really don't know.
Recalling the situation from last night, Li Luo happily opened the unusually tight aluminum tube.
He slowly flicked out the fragrant cigar inside.
Watching the snow scene in the yard for a while, he walked toward the kitchen while puffing smoke.
He washed the rice to cook porridge.
Then he sliced some century eggs and lean meat strips.
During the time waiting for the porridge to be cooked, he picked up a broom and went to the yard, sweeping away the accumulated snow with a swish-swish sound.
Living in a detached house had this kind of benefit.
No matter what you were doing, there was a kind of exclusive tranquility, without needing to pay attention to the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
"Creak."
Just as he was enjoying the joy of sweeping the snow, the guest room next door opened quietly, and the sound of a woman yawning heavily rang out; the other party seemed to have experienced a very difficult night.
Li Luo turned his head blankly, and the cigar he was biting nearly fell out.
"Why do I have a feeling..."
Xiang Naying quickly identified some information on his face and immediately asked unhappily: "You seem very surprised by my appearance?"
"Hahaha."
Li Luo immediately laughed awkwardly.
How should he put it? He had indeed forgotten that Xiang Naying was still staying at his house.
Last night's attention.
Had all been focused on Wang Fei!
Thinking of this, his smile became a bit stiff.
When they were having fun, he had carried Wang Fei directly back to the main house last night; at that time, she was hanging on him like a sloth, still humming and chirping in her mouth.
"I was asleep!!!"
Xiang Naying laughed, took out a cigarette, and lit it on her own: "I didn't hear anything, and I didn't see anything!"
She pretended to be calm on the surface.
But in reality, she was panicked inside.
She had seen everything of the two of them tossing about in the dining room.
And then walking and fighting back to the main house; that kind of posture was something she had never heard of or seen before. She tossed and turned in bed until dawn before she vaguely prepared to fall asleep.
Then she heard the sound of sweeping coming from outside.
She simply came out to smoke a cigarette.
"Hahaha."
Li Luo didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to laugh awkwardly.
"Don't worry."
Xiang Naying skillfully exhaled a smoke ring and looked at the main house: "I won't say anything. Actually, I don't know if what you two are doing is right or wrong. I just hope that no matter what the result is..."
"You can treat Old Wang better."
"OK?"
"Mm!"
Li Luo nodded with a smile.
The two of them bantered back and forth until the cleaning was done, and Xiang Naying simply drank a bowl of fragrant century egg and lean meat porridge before returning to her room to rest.
For the next two days, Wang Fei and Xiang Naying simply stayed there.
Li Luo called his little assistant over.
Playing mahjong during the day.
Spanking buttocks at night.
After just a few days of recuperation, Wang Fei became like a flower blooming again; to use Xiang Naying's words, it felt like her whole body was glowing.
She couldn't help but tease the two of them about whether doing that thing had beauty benefits.
Making Wang Fei laugh heartily.
On the seventh day, Li Luo returned to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
That bloody night had only left a seven or eight-centimeter-long pink scar on his ribs; the recovery effect was quite good, and in a few more days, it would basically have no impact on his life.
Scars would more or less remain.
This was unavoidable.
The surgeon's skill was quite good; once the skin color recovered, as long as one didn't look closely, no traces could be seen.
After a round of group photos.
He called Bureau Chief Zhao and headed straight for the Chaoyang Branch.
Just as the Grand Cherokee drove into the branch gate, he saw a group of leaders and photographers standing on the steps ahead.
The subsequent procedures had all been communicated in advance.
Some publicity, Li Luo needed.
Others needed it too.
He had taken out real money, so giving the necessary respect was not an exaggeration at all. The foundation could even use this opportunity to promote its presence and attract more donations of charitable funds.
"That's enough, don't drive right up to them."
Signaling Wu Yu to brake, Li Luo took the silk banner and pushed the door to get out of the car.
"Bureau Chief Zhao."
He had a bright smile on his face and walked forward quickly: "Sorry, sorry, I'm disturbing you all today!"
"Welcome, Mr. Li."
Looking at the silk banner in Li Luo's hand, Zhao Qiang was also full of joy.
For him.
Donating money sometimes wasn't as happy as receiving a silk banner.
This was a form of recognition for himself.
Especially since Li Luo's work nature was quite special, and it needed to be publicized both inside and outside the system. As long as it was publicity, it couldn't escape his name, so Bureau Chief Zhao couldn't be more satisfied.
Under the gaze of the cameras, Li Luo and his hand shook heavily together.
There were truly quite a few leaders present at the scene.
He didn't recognize who was who, but it was fine to just smile and shake hands.
There were also acquaintances.
That captain and the female police officer were also among them.
Li Luo increased the strength of his handshake with them, and his words of gratitude were even more sincere.
Under the photographer's greeting, everyone stood on the steps.
"Heroic and fearless, guarding peace."
The eight large characters shone with golden light in the middle of the red silk banner.
The police officers were also ordinary people, and encountering such things was worth showing off to friends and colleagues, so they all had happy smiles on their faces and left a group photo for the camera.
After the photo was taken.
Everyone moved to the previous press hall.
There, a simple donation ceremony would be held for Li Luo.
While walking inside, Bureau Chief Zhao also briefly told him about the case situation.
Not only had the Wang Lihua gang been captured, but even the dealers who sold them weapons had been uprooted.
The case had a very bad impact.
All personnel involved would be dealt with severely and strictly.
It was inevitable that a few people would have to eat lead bullets, and the rest would have to honestly sing the song of the iron window.
As for things like retaliation.
There was no need to worry at all!
Hearing this, the last stone in Li Luo's heart finally fell.
Actually, donating 300,000 had a little bit of a hidden motive; regardless of whether it was useful or not, as long as someone handled the case more severely out of consideration for his good intentions, he could vent a bit more of his anger.
The donation ceremony soon began.
Amidst a round of applause, Li Luo and the Secretary-General of the Heroic Foundation held up a large foam board together.
The printed paper pasted on the front was made into the style of a check.
The words "300,000 Yuan" were enlarged and thickened.
It looked quite conspicuous.
This was just for show; the corresponding funds had long been transferred to the foundation's account.
As a courtesy.
Li Luo also received the honorary plaque, certificate, and commemorative medal awarded by the foundation.
This plaque was not large; it was the kind of honorary plaque usually hung on the company wall, with words like "The Heroic Foundation thanks Mr. Li Luo for his charitable donation," appearing very formal.
"Thank you, everyone."
Li Luo walked to the standing microphone and weighed the plaque in his hand: "This plaque is very light, probably less than a catty."
"But it is also very heavy, as heavy as Mount Tai."
Looking around at everyone present, he said in a deep voice: "This weight comes from the responsibility on your shoulders, and also from every day and night you spend shielding us from the wind and rain."
"Here, I pay my highest respects to every police officer."
Amidst the warm applause.
Li Luo bowed forward seriously.
This was not some Red Cross; the objects of the Heroic Foundation's concern were all police officers who were disabled or died in the line of duty. These funds were all transformed into pension subsidies, scholarships, and condolence money.
He didn't feel a bit of heartache spending it.
The Secretary-General beside him nodded repeatedly and also stood up to deliver a speech.
"This donation is very meaningful to us."
He looked at Li Luo with a smile and said into the microphone: "It conveys the warmth and care of society, encourages us to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to our cause, and also drives the whole society to give us more care and love."
After the brief speech, the donation ceremony ended quickly.
Next.
There was another round of group photos.
Quite a few people came to join in the fun, and some young policewomen even secretly asked Li Luo for their autographs.
Looking as if they were afraid of being seen by their leaders.
Li Luo naturally did not refuse anyone.
After finishing all this, Zhao Qiang and the others personally sent Li Luo out of the building.
"Everyone, please stay."
He patted his forehead again and hurriedly opened the back seat and trunk of the Cherokee: "Bureau Chief Zhao, this is the fruit friends gave me when I was hospitalized. It's a waste if I can't finish it."
"Please help me out, after all, there is strength in numbers!"
Although Li Luo donating 300,000 was real, for many people, it was intangible.
The honor of the silk banner actually had nothing to do with most people.
It wasn't as practical as sharing a few fruits.
The car was indeed filled with various fruit baskets, but there were also boxes of apples piled up, which were clearly just bought.
"No."
Zhao Qiang waved his hand hurriedly and refused seriously: "We cannot let Mr. Li Luo spend any more money, and it is not in accordance with the regulations."
"Sigh!"
Li Luo sighed heavily and said with a bitter face: "We were just talking about being as close as fish and water, and now that I'm in trouble, you won't help me solve it. Is Bureau Chief Zhao turning his back on me after taking the silk banner?"
"Ah?"
Zhao Qiang looked confused.
"Pfft~"
This expression made the policewoman beside him burst into laughter.
They had already accepted a 300,000 donation, so they didn't mind a little fruit. In fact, it was nothing for them to accept some fruit; it was just that Li Luo had filled the whole car, and the scale seemed a bit scary!
After Zhao Qiang waved his hand.
Several people beside him moved the fruit from the car, piling up a small heap on the ground.
Winter in the capital was gray most of the time.
These colorful colors.
Attracted the passing police officers to watch; whether they could eat it or not didn't matter, just looking at it made them feel happy.
Li Luo shook hands with them one by one again.
He greeted Wu Yu to get in the car.
Charity was also a golden signboard.
Having a reputation as a philanthropist was definitely not a bad thing for a celebrity.
As long as the photos just taken were published in newspapers, they would bring him a steady stream of good reputation.
Anyway, if he didn't donate this time, he would have to donate later. Rather than donating to those messy foundations, donating to the police foundation made him feel more comfortable.
"Zhuozhou?"
Wu Yu confirmed the itinerary again.
"Zhuozhou!"
Li Luo looked at the plaque with a smile and gave an answer.
He had been delayed for a while.
It was time to catch up on the filming progress!
After finishing the last ten days of scenes, it would be time to go and experience Jiang Wen's filming style. Thinking about being able to act opposite that guy, there was still a trace of excitement in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 186 =====
