Chapter 522: Gan Lu Asks Me to Go to the City

The steak was served, but I had no appetite at all.

Xue Bing and I were the same, not moving the steak in front of us at all. Only Peng Xiaoyuan was eating happily, and didn't forget to urge us to eat.

I pushed the steak in front of me to her and said, "If you finish this portion of mine, I'll take you to the karaoke hall to watch the show tonight."

The entertainment in Central Province is one of the best in the country. There are four or five karaoke halls of all sizes on one street. The karaoke halls gather performing stars from all over the country, big names, and local derivatives. Singing, blowing, playing, and singing, changing in a thousand ways.

A lot of talents have come out of the karaoke halls, those who go far have performed on the national stage, and even those who go abroad to make money. Those who go near, at the very least, can drive a small car and live in a villa.

In Central Province, if you haven't experienced the karaoke hall culture, you have come in vain.

The best hospitality for foreign VIPs in Central Province is to invite them to the karaoke hall to watch the show.

"You want to go to the karaoke hall?" Peng Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Does this girl still need you to treat her? You want to watch the show, you found the right person, right? Teacher."

Xue Bing still kept a faint smile. This smile of hers was completely different from when she was in Suxi Township. In the past, her smile was like the wild flowers in the wilderness, pure and flawless. And now the smile was like the flowers raised in a flower pot, no matter how brilliant it bloomed, it never had the original fragrance of the flowers.

Peng Xiaoyuan said this for a reason. Originally, Xue Bing was invited to perform in two karaoke halls every night, performing her heavenly folk songs.

Xue Bing was still drinking the pure water in front of her, she had already drunk three cups, it seemed she was very thirsty.

I couldn't stop her, so I could only persuade her to taste the steak that Peng Xiaoyuan praised.

Under my persuasion, Xue Bing picked up the knife and fork, and she used them skillfully, which made me dumbfounded. I have been used to using chopsticks all my life, and the knife and fork in my hand appeared incomparably clumsy and ugly.

Xue Bing hadn't been in the province for long, but she seemed to have gotten used to the life of this city. Her appearance of holding the knife and fork was charming and cute, appearing reserved and noble.

My heart kept pounding. Just now she insisted that I continue to call her "wife", which was very excessive. She already knew that I was married, and my wife was pregnant with my child. I came to call her "wife" again, which was not only a blasphemy to her but also disrespectful to Huang Weiwei.

I didn't understand what she meant! Xue Bing is a persistent person. Back then, between me and the city, she chose the city and gave me up. Today, will she give up the city for me?

I couldn't help but feel scared. If she hadn't given me up back then, maybe she would still be teaching her music in the middle school of Suxi Town. I don't know what method Huang Weiwei used, I think, just the temptation of entering the city, she shouldn't have given me up!

Now that we meet again in this city, is there going to be another story between us that makes people feel painful?

"I live at the head of the Yangtze River, you live at the tail of the Yangtze River. Thinking of you every day but not seeing you, drinking the water of the Yangtze River together." Xue Bing sang softly, her eyelids drooping, like weeping and complaining.

My butt was like sitting on a needle felt, her performance was letting me fall into the abyss!

Peng Xiaoyuan clapped her hands and smiled, "Teacher Xue, you sing really well. You really live at the source, and this person lives at the source tail."

Xue Bing blushed and said, "I don't mean that!"

Peng Xiaoyuan said relentlessly, "Yes, what are you afraid of. He Chen Feng is not a big figure, someone loves him, it's his blessing."

I started to feel uneasy. Huang Weiwei's image of carrying a big belly kept jumping in my mind. I can't be sorry for her.

I stood up and said, "It's late, I have to go to class tomorrow, you guys should rest early too."

Peng Xiaoyuan asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to watch the show?"

I smiled bitterly, "I'm selling an axe in front of Lu Ban. It's no fun to watch the show."

Peng Xiaoyuan said unwillingly, "Forget it, forget it. If you don't watch, I won't watch. I want to watch. Besides, tonight's teacher's song, I still have to sing harmony."

Xue Bing also stood up and said, "Xiao Yuan, let him go back."

Peng Xiaoyuan didn't speak, pulled Xue Bing and left. After walking a few steps, she stopped and said, "Aren't you sending us off?"

I hadn't opened my mouth yet, Xue Bing stopped her first and said, "We'll just take a taxi. He is in the suburbs, the road is far. Let him go first."

After going downstairs, I saw them get into a taxi and leave, I sighed long, and went back to the Party School.

When I returned to the dormitory, Deng Hanyuan hadn't come back yet, so I washed up in a hurry and prepared to go to bed.

After tonight, tomorrow will be a big battle.

But I have already lost interest!

What Peng Xiaoyuan said to me is still ringing in my ears. If they formed a small circle, I am a person outside the small circle.

Suddenly thinking of Gan Lu, she went to Hengyue City with me, and she shouldn't be a member of the small circle either.

Thinking about it, I felt that there was no bottom. So I tried to call her.

Gan Lu's voice sounded incomparably lazy, and a scene immediately appeared before my eyes: a beautiful woman, sleepy, lying on the quilt, hair flying.

She was obviously woken up from her sleep by my phone call, and asked lazily, "Chen Feng, are you back?"

I hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm in the Party School dormitory."

She pondered for a while, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "I'm sorry, I slept to death."

I asked, "Where are you?"

"At home."

I said "Oh," and tentatively asked, "Our classmates, no one contacted you, right?"

She smiled lightly and said, "Of course there is. However, you are the only one who called me at night."

I hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I disturbed your rest."

After speaking, I prepared to hang up the phone, but Gan Lu said on the phone, "Do you want to hang up?"

I stammered, "You have to rest. Besides, I have nothing to do."

She said "Oh," and then asked me as if she suddenly realized, "You just said they contacted me, did something happen?"

I smiled and said, "Nothing."

Gan Lu urged me, "You tell me. There must be something in this."

I hesitated, and told her what Peng Xiaoyuan said to me.

Dead silence came from the other side of the phone. Just when I was hesitating whether to hang up, Gan Lu said on the phone, "Can you find a way to come to the city now?"

I blurted out, "I have a car."

Gan Lu smiled and said, "That's best, you come to the city, I have something to tell you."

I was still hesitating, Gan Lu said seriously on the phone, "If you don't want to be involved, you come."

She said it very severely, and her tone was very cold. This made me a bit surprised. She was originally a gentle woman, suddenly saying such words, only God knows what is buried in this.

Gan Lu has worked in the Provincial Government compound since graduation, and has seen big winds and waves, and her political sensitivity is not something I can compare to. I am just a small county official in the countryside, in the eyes of the common people, I am a big official. In their eyes, I am nothing!

It's interesting to say, we grassroots cadres basically don't need to think about political issues. Anyway, whatever instructions come from above, just do it. If you do it right, you win a few applause, if you do it wrong, no one will hold you accountable.

But anyone who has been a county official knows that no matter how big the official above is, in their own one-third of an acre, they are the ones who have the final say. As the saying goes, a county official is not as good as a current manager, and even if a god descends to earth, he has to ask the land god! I am a county official, I am a land god!

But not now, I am no longer a land god.

The provincial capital is not strange to me. Four years of cold window, all the youth of more than a thousand days were thrown here, others harvested flowers and applause, I harvested a few thorns.

If it weren't for my old father, I might be a hooligan now.

I have natural differences in being a hooligan. For example, when I was in my third year of high school, others were working hard, but I was attracted by the billiards under the campus wall. I fought for three consecutive days and nights under the wall with a billiard stick, practiced a good skill, and finally made a bet with a street hooligan, and won two balls from him.

The hooligan lost and wouldn't give money, I chased him for two streets with a kitchen knife. Finally, I chased him to the ground and raised my hand to call me grandpa before I let him go.

Because of this, I was almost expelled from school. My aunt entangled the principal for two full days before leaving me an opportunity, not allowed to attend class at school, but gave me an opportunity to take the college entrance examination.

I relied on this opportunity to become famous!

At first, everyone thought I would definitely fail, but when the list was released, my score was eight points higher than the best student in our class.

What is the concept of eight points? It is a score that is enough to change one's life. One point less might be a failure, one point more will definitely stand out.

Therefore, in the education circle of Hengyue City, I am a legend.

But I have never promoted this legend as glory.

Gan Lu carefully told me the address, saying that when I arrive, I will call her again, and she will come to pick me up.

I hung up the phone, re-equipped, went out and drove. ===== CHAPTER 523 =====
