Lin Hao

Just then, Cai Xiaoguang seemed to have exhausted all his strength for persuasion; his whole person was as if his vital essence had been drawn away. He sighed deeply in helplessness, his eyes filled with unconcealable loss and melancholy, his voice turning somewhat low and hoarse as he slowly said, "Alright then, since you insist so much, I won't say anything more. But you must be careful on the road — the journey is long over high mountains and far roads, don't let any mishap happen. If there's anything you need help with, just tell me; whatever I can help with, I certainly won't be vague about it."

Zhou Rong said sincerely upon hearing this, "Thank you, Cai Xiaoguang, you really are my especially good good friend. I actually do have a matter I need to trouble you to help with — after I leave, wait three days then go to our home and explain the situation. Just tell my mom... say I went to Guizhou for rustication, tell them not to worry too much, I'll take good care of myself, and I'll also write home letters often."

Cai Xiaoguang nodded lightly, forced out a trace of a smile, and replied, "Okay, rest assured, I'll handle this matter properly. You yourself out there also pay more attention to your health, don't be too stubborn; if difficulties arise, think of ways to solve them, and if it really doesn't work, send a letter home."

After speaking, Cai Xiaoguang simply stood quietly in place, his gaze tightly following Zhou Rong's gradually receding back figure, his eyes revealing endless helplessness and reluctance, as if the whole world had turned dim and lightless along with Zhou Rong's departure.

Actually, Cai Xiaoguang had always been hiding a secret in his heart — that he had already deeply fallen in love with Zhou Rong.

In this Guangzi Pian'er, almost everyone naturally took it for granted that the two of them were a natural-born pair; walking on the street, neighbors and villagers seeing them together would all laugh and tease that these two kids were truly well-matched.

Even Zhou Rong's father and mother, from the bottom of their hearts, felt Cai Xiaoguang this kid was not bad, and standing together with Zhou Rong was a perfect match of talented man and beautiful woman, wholeheartedly hoping the two of them could end up together.

However, only Cai Xiaoguang and Zhou Rong the two of them knew clearly in their hearts that Cai Xiaoguang was merely a shield Zhou Rong used to fend off those various and sundry pursuers.

The one Zhou Rong held in her heart was always that poet Feng Huacheng far away in Guizhou; toward Cai Xiaoguang's feelings, although she felt gratitude, she could only treat them as friendship.

Lin Hao at the side had watched all this in his eyes; seeing this situation, he knew this matter could not wait any longer — if he waited further, Zhou Rong would really run far away, and by then wanting to stop her would be impossible even if he wanted to.

So he took a deep breath, walked out from his hiding place, took a few steps to reach before Cai Xiaoguang, and with a Xi Xiao expression teased, "Xiaoguang Ge, you really are great, just sending off the girl you like like this? I really admire your breadth of mind."

Cai Xiaoguang was immersed in his own thoughts when Lin Hao's sudden appearance and question gave him a genuine fright.

He widened his eyes, subconsciously looked around, confirmed no one else had heard Lin Hao's words, then hurriedly grabbed Lin Hao's arm and pulled him to a relatively concealed corner, his expression tense as he lowered his voice and instructed, "Xiao Linzi, you absolutely must not let this matter leak out — if word gets out, Zhou Rong won't be able to leave; with her temperament, she'll definitely flare up at me, and then everything will be a mess. You must keep your mouth shut tight for me!"

Lin Hao, however, was not flustered at all; he gently broke free of Cai Xiaoguang's hand, looked straight at Cai Xiaoguang, and with a serious face asked, "Xiaoguang Ge, I'll just ask you one thing — do you like Zhou Rong or not?"

Cai Xiaoguang was stunned by Lin Hao's direct question, then a flush rose on his face; he lowered his head, somewhat embarrassedly muttering, "Does this even need asking? Of course I like her, liked her for a long, long time, but she..."

Speaking to here, Cai Xiaoguang's voice gradually lowered, full of helplessness and bitterness; he lightly sighed and continued, "Her heart only has that Feng Huacheng; in her eyes, I'm probably just a good friend, at most just a tool person who can help her block those pursuers."

Lin Hao, seeing this, had a bottom in his heart, and laid out the plan he had long schemed in his heart one by one: "Xiaoguang Ge, I plan to follow Zhou Rong to Guizhou. At that time, I'll watch for the opportunity and help you chase Zhou Rong back — what do you think?"

Hearing this, Cai Xiaoguang first froze, then a flash of surprise passed in his eyes, but immediately after he frowned. He knew something of Lin Hao's family situation, and right now asked, "Xiao Linzi, this plan of yours to follow to Guizhou — does your brother Lin Kun know about this matter?"

Lin Hao shook his head and replied, "Don't know yet; I haven't had a chance to tell him. I'm afraid if I tell him, he certainly won't agree, and will even block me from going."

Cai Xiaoguang asked further, "Then why do you want to help me?"

Lin Hao casually said, "Seeing you and my brother are classmates, I just thought if I can help you a hand I'll help a hand. Besides, you've normally treated me not bad either, I also want to return a favor."

Cai Xiaoguang wasn't someone who would so easily believe these words; he stared at Lin Hao's eyes, with a suspicious face asked, "Xiao Linzi, don't fudge it with me — what's the real reason? You tell me the truth."

Lin Hao, seeing he couldn't muddle through, then no longer concealed it and spoke the truth: "Xiaoguang Ge, not hiding it from you — I'm hoping your father can help my brother switch to a different job, and also if there's a chance to return to the city in the future, you get me and Zhou Rong transferred back to the city early."

Cai Xiaoguang slightly frowned, pondered a moment then slowly said, "Xiao Linzi, you also know the current situation — although my father is still in office, switching a job isn't such a simple matter to handle; every factory's positions are fought over tooth and nail, personnel transfers are managed very strictly. But since you've put it to this extent, I promise you — I'll try my best to get your brother a job switch before year-end, okay? Do you have any concrete requirements for this job?"

Lin Hao, hearing this, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly thinking: In the end, being an official is good — look at this posture, switching a job can even come with demands; if this were an ordinary family, having a job would be not bad, how would it be your turn to pick and choose.

Right then, Lin Hao also didn't stand on ceremony with Cai Xiaoguang, and said in a big, casual way: "Xiaoguang Ge, then I'll speak directly — give my brother a relatively easy job, best is the kind that doesn't need to exert too much strength, can clock in and out on time every day. Also, the benefits should be a bit better — if there can be some holiday benefits, year-end bonus or something, that would be best of all. No too big demands, hehe. Oh right, if you can introduce a partner for my brother that would be even better — you also know, my brother that person has a clumsy mouth, not like you so glib; seeing girls he doesn't know what to say. I just hope he can find a down-to-earth wife to live life with, the two of them peacefully and steadily pass a lifetime, then I'll be at ease."

After all, in this life, brother Lin Kun treated him truly well — whatever good food there was he saved it for him, work so hard yet still had to take care of his life, naturally he must properly arrange for his brother, at minimum let his future days be lived peacefully and steadily.

Cai Xiaoguang, hearing Lin Hao's words, couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, looking at Lin Hao said: "These few sentences you said, I don't even know which of you two is the older brother and which is the younger brother — the extent you worry, is even more like an older brother than your brother. Alright then, I agree, but matchmaking this kind of thing can't be guaranteed — after all whether girls look favorably or not depends on your brother's own ability; I'll certainly introduce suitable ones, as for whether it succeeds in the end, that depends on fate."

Lin Hao, hearing this, hurriedly laughed and nodded in agreement: "That's natural, that's natural — Xiaoguang Ge you being willing to help introduce is already very good; whether it succeeds depends on my brother's own fortune. Hehe, I'll thank you on behalf of my brother first!"
