Chapter 609: Deep in the Garden
People who are drunk are mostly powerless. Especially when the wine is deep, even if they can move, they are like grasshoppers after autumn, unable to jump a few times.
I was like a grasshopper, grabbing in the air with both hands, trying not to fall and make a fool of myself in front of a woman.
However, everything was in vain. In the wailing of my heart, I was like a grasshopper with its legs removed, and I fell straight onto a cluster of Chinese roses.
Just when my body was about to have a passionate kiss with the earth, a hand grabbed my waist. I only felt my arm touch a piece of softness, and then I stood still.
Gan Lu's body was trembling with me. Her weak arms that had just reached out seemed to have the strength of a thousand jun, firmly supporting me in a piece of dim floral fragrance.
I muttered: "Thank you!"
I tried hard to pull my arm out, but my arm was held tightly by her. I secretly used force several times, but still couldn't get rid of her. Her face was heavy, her breath was like an orchid, and she whispered in my ear: "You can't go, you are drunk."
I laughed frivolously with a big tongue, glanced at her and said: "Am I a person who is drunk? I have never been drunk drinking."
Gan Lu smiled, whispered: "Rogue! Opening and closing your mouth is old man, old man, whose old man are you?"
I looked at her white porcelain-like face, because of the anxiety and uneasiness revealed, just a late night breeze blew, and the dark fragrance of the Chinese rose rippled around us. My mood began to be incomparably calm. I was like a child who had not yet shed his childishness, raising my face, breathing with my nose and saying: "Really fragrant."
She said "um" and said: "Indeed fragrant. Although the Chinese rose is not precious, the flowers that bloom can be as beautiful as peonies and more fragrant than jasmine."
I laughed and said: "I mean you are fragrant."
She was made confused by my teasing, pretended to be angry and said: "If you talk nonsense again, I won't care about you."
I waved my hand and said: "It's okay. I don't need to be cared about, I can go back."
Saying that, I pushed away her hand and walked forward crookedly.
This is the back garden of Xinlinyin Hotel, planted with various tall trees. The back garden is full of rockeries and winding paths. There is not a single high-hanging lamp in the whole garden. The lights are buried in the ground, shot out through glass, mapped on the trees, forming mottled sparse shadows, outlining a garden that is confusing.
The back garden of Xinlinyin is not open to the public. Usually, only during the day will someone wander here. Once it is night, it is basically uninhabited.
I had wandered here aimlessly, and only after walking along the shaded path for a while did I realize I had taken the wrong turn.
Gan Lu followed behind me, saying nothing, reminding me from time to time to walk steadily.
A cool breeze blew, and my mind was much clearer.
Just not far away, there was a stone bench made of white marble. I asked tentatively: "Sit for a while?"
"Okay, sit for a while." Gan Lu actually agreed to me readily.
I walked to the stone bench and sat down with a butt, and a coolness spread all over my body instantly. Gan Lu next to me was about to sit down, I waved my hands and said: "Wait."
She looked at me hesitantly, I laughed, took off my jacket, spread it on the stone bench, smoothed it with my hand and said with satisfaction: "Now you can sit. This bench is really cold."
Gan Lu pursed her lips and smiled, like a flower containing shyness and coquetry in the hazy light.
"I'm not afraid of cold." She said, leaning her seductive butt next to me: "I like cold."
"I'm meddling." I laughed awkwardly, raised my hand and slapped myself, scolding: "Chen Feng, Chen Feng, people don't care about your feelings, are you being affectionate?"
Gan Lu didn't expect me to speak like this, and hit her own mouth again, and suddenly her pretty face was anxious and red, and she hurriedly dragged my hand and said: "Fool, am I this meaning?"
I tilted my head and asked: "Then what do you mean?"
"I have no meaning." She lowered her head, embarrassed to look at me.
Gan Lu is a little woman, and also a strong woman. She doesn't have a few brushes, can she put herself in a prefecture-level city as a deputy mayor in the Central Province where masters are like clouds?
Being a deputy mayor level is a department-level cadre. This is the dream of countless people struggling in the officialdom.
Both of us stopped talking at the same time, listening quietly to the wind blowing over the treetops, like the sea waves, continuous and endless. It is already early summer, and the early insects, after a winter and spring of silence, began to chirp to declare their existence.
After a long time, she sighed and said: "You are still okay."
"Very good." I reached out and took her hand, she wanted to struggle, just moved lightly, and let me hold it in my palm, no longer moving.
"I really didn't expect you to be assigned to the petition department." She laughed, covering her lips, just like a little girl who doesn't know the world, innocent and romantic.
"If I don't go to hell, who goes to hell?" I laughed, rubbing her hands, warm as water, spreading over one by one.
"You are going to hell, and the King of Hell is afraid when he sees you."
"Why?"
"Because you will want to sit in his seat. If you go to be the King of Hell, the King of Hell will have to be unemployed."
I was startled, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth.
These words of hers, who says it is not what I really think? If I were placed fifteen years ago, perhaps I would be a person who doesn't fight with the world. But the change of people is always inadvertent. Fate likes to tease people. If I hadn't embarked on this path of officialdom, I would either have become a businessman or stood on the three-foot podium and ended my life.
To tell the truth, ever since I became the township head of Suxi Township, my desire began to expand infinitely. In my view, officialdom is one mountain peak after another. Conquering one, another is waiting for you not far away.
Everything is as I thought. I went from township head to town party secretary, and from town party secretary to executive deputy county magistrate. Just when I was full of ambition, I came down from a mountain peak and was walking to the bottom of the valley.
Gan Lu's words hit my heart accurately.
She didn't avoid my hand, letting me cover her little mouth. She looked at me and smiled, like a circle of ripples, circling me in it.
Just when I was embarrassed to let go, she suddenly stuck out her tongue and licked my palm lightly, then again.
My whole body was like being electrocuted, a numbness, a confusion.
She laughed badly, looking at my six-gods-without-master appearance.
In the past, we had skin-to-skin intimacy, but it came to an abrupt end under her warning. She said that we can be ambiguous, but we cannot cross the line.
I have already given up. For this beautiful woman, I only have respect and love in my heart, not love. And now, is she conveying a kind of information to me?
I withdrew my hand and looked at it carefully under the light.
In my palm, her moisture still remained, warm as jade.
She pursed her lips and smiled, asking me: "What are you looking at?"
I didn't say a word, stretched my hand to my mouth, licked it with the tip of my tongue, and sighed: "Really fragrant!"
She laughed, whispered: "There is more fragrant."
I asked excitedly: "Really? Where?"
She looked at me and smiled, her smile full of shyness. I hardened my heart and reached out to embrace her.
She leaned over obediently, lying on my chest, as cute as a little cat.
I stroked her soft black hair, lifted her chin with a finger, and said with a dark smile: "I want to taste it."
She closed her eyes slightly. My courage grew, and I lowered my head regardless, covering her cherry-like small mouth with a mouth full of wine.
The moon shadow swayed, the sparse shadows were dancing. On the white marble stone bench under the dense tree shade, I kissed the shy beauty, and my heart was like a boiling pot of water.
She murmured in response to me, wrapping her soft tongue around me.
I finally unbuttoned her clothes and held the mountain peak I had been dreaming of.
Suddenly, a bird called on the treetop, the sound was shrill and sad. The call of this night bird woke us up. She broke free from my arms, lowered her head apologetically to organize her clothes, and dared not look at me again.
I was still not satisfied and wanted to embrace her again.
She refused firmly, whispered and begged me: "Chen Feng, that's enough."
I had to sigh, like a deflated ball.
She seemed to be unbearable again, took my hand, and kneaded it slowly: "Actually, as long as we think of each other, isn't it happier?"
I stiffened my neck and said: "I am a man."
She laughed lightly, stared at me for a while and said: "Yes, it is because you are a man, and a man who is a little bad, that I let you..."
She hesitated and didn't know how to say it. She was choosing a more suitable word to express her meaning.
And I almost blurted out: "Kiss you, kiss you, right?"
She nodded shyly, sighed and said: "Chen Feng, it's not that I deliberately refused you. I am a married woman, and the bottom line of traditional morality is my life philosophy. People, you can only love one person in your life. For example, you, for example, me, we have already lost, this is not something we can change, it is arranged by fate. Accept fate!"
I smiled coldly and withdrew my hand: "What if I want to change fate?"
"You can't!" She said firmly: "If you go against the sky, you will definitely not be happy."
I smiled and said: "I didn't expect you, a party member, to have idealistic thoughts."
"No, I am a democratic party member. What I believe in is Jesus."
This news is the first time I heard it. Gan Lu is not in my camp.
I asked curiously: "Your democratic party, can you be idealistic?"
She smiled lightly and said: "Actually, among you, how many people are like us, idealistic."
I was speechless immediately. I never thought about such a problem. I only know that when I started to receive education, all thoughts revolved around one theme. The development of mankind cannot rely on idealism. Only firm materialism can save mankind from deep water and hot fire.
"Chen Feng." She called me: "Among the batch of people trained in the Party School, you are the last one to implement the work. I heard before that you were going to the Provincial Public Security Department, why didn't you go?"
I shook my head and said: "I am the same as you, I don't know anything."
"Is it Meng Xiaoyu who played tricks?" Gan Lu suddenly threw out this sentence.
"No way?" I hesitated and said. Meng Xiaoyu has no direct conflict with me, he has a high starting point, and is almost not on the same level as me.
"You are the monitor, reasonably speaking, the work you implement is high. But the fact is, Meng Xiaoyu is the highest level among our class classmates."
"He is higher than me."
"Wrong. In the past, everyone was about the same, and this training class is a combination of breaking and rebuilding, it is the third echelon prepared by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. But you are now a deputy director of the Petition Bureau with a virtual position, but you are still leisurely, this is not you." Gan Lu seemed to have walked out of the children's love, and began to sit upright and discuss the officialdom relationship with me.
I stood up and said: "There is no high or low in work. Any position, as long as it is to serve the people and do things for the people, I think it is what I want, and it is also my life goal."
Gan Lu looked at me in surprise, shaking her head in disbelief.
I whispered: "Dew is coming, let's go back."
She was still hesitating, I had already pulled her hand without saying a word. ===== CHAPTER 610 =====
