"Xu Yao, come here!"
Wen Liang's voice came from the bathroom, startling the three girls who were talking. Xu Yao walked to the door, put her hands behind her back, coughed, and imitated her father's official steps: "Well, classmate Wen Liang, is there anything I can do for you?"
Wen Liang was leaning against the door, with a towel wrapped around his waist, barely showing any leaks, and threatened: "Hurry up and return the master's clothes to their original state, or I will convict you of deceiving the king and execute you without mercy!"
Xu Yao looked up to the sky and laughed, saying disdainfully: "Silly boy, now I am the knife and you are the fish, and you still dare to call yourself the master, believe it or not, I will let you stay in there for a night?"
Wen Liang's teeth itched with hatred, but he had to bow his head and said submissively, "Okay, Miss Xu, I'm afraid of you. Name a price."
Xu Yao smiled and said, "Wait a moment!"
He turned around and ran back, discussed with the other two for a while, then ran back and knocked on the door twice, and said seriously: "Listen carefully, after research and discussion by the Standing Committee, we have decided to impose the following punishment on Comrade Wen Liang: In order to make up for the mental damage suffered by Ji Su, Ning Xiaoning, and Xu Yao in the 'shoulder pinching and back beating' incident," he pointed at his nose and said with a smile: "That is me and the other three. Comrade Wen Liang must not refuse any request made by Ji Ning and Xu Yao at any time, in any place, and in any way. Of course, one person can only make one request. If there is a violation, we will make public the embarrassing incident of someone losing clothes. Please take your own reputation into consideration and do not break the contract!"
Wen Liang was completely shocked by the shamelessness of the three women and shouted, "This is the Treaty of Shimonoseki, this is the Boxer Protocol! What if one of you is in a bad mood and wants me to do a striptease? I will do it for her? Don't even think about it. I would rather die than surrender!"
Not to mention Xu Yao, even Ning Xiaoning, who was in a state of distraction, couldn't stand it anymore. She turned her head and said loudly, "You're dreaming!"
Hearing Ning Xiaoning's words, with the tone as cold as before, Wen Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He must not hurt everyone's feelings because of what happened just now. Those were Uncle Wen's most precious things.
Xu Yao used coercion and inducement, but Wen Liang refused to give in. Seeing that the two were deadlocked, Ji Su came over to persuade them, "Okay, just accept it. There's a saying that a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. If you keep fighting like this, you'll catch a cold!"
Wen Liang and Xu Yao shouted together: "Which side are you on?"
Ji Su said shamefully: "I... I'm going back to take care of Xiao Ning!"
After Ji Su left, Xu Yao snorted coldly: "Silly boy, if you have the guts, just come out like this. If you can't do it, just press your handprint obediently. This lady doesn't have time to waste with you!"
Wen Liang was on the other side of the door, laughing so hard that his belly almost burst, but he didn't reveal a single flaw in his words. He said, "I'm most afraid of people provoking me! Fine, I'll just come out like this, so what!"
As he spoke, he gently turned the doorknob, making a clicking sound, and was about to open the door and leave. Xu Yao, Ning Xiaoning and Ji Su on the sofa all screamed at the same time and turned around quickly. Ning Xiaoning was afraid of the rope after being bitten by a snake, and she covered her eyes tightly with both hands, muttering: "I don't want to get stye, I don't want to get stye..."
Xu Yao thought of the time in the alley and the time on the boat during the day. She had accidentally bumped into Wen Liang twice and said in a trembling voice, "You... you don't come out..."
Wen Liang laughed: "I was just teasing you, you took it seriously? Don't worry, I am one of the top ten Communist Youth League members in Qingzhou City after all, I won't be like that."
"real?"
Xu Yao secretly glanced back and saw that the door was closed. There was no place for that hateful guy. She was about to get angry. Wen Liang's voice suddenly became extremely gentle, as if there was an immortal in the sky stirring the clouds and mist, and there was a bit of free and easy feeling in the ethereal and unrestrained: "I promise you, any time, any place, any request!"
Xu Yao was just joking, but at this moment, Wen Liang's seemingly ordinary words hit her heart hard. In an instant, boundless happiness filled her chest, and she nodded heavily: "Yeah!"
After getting dressed, the three girls were gone. A thin quilt was spread on the sofa. On the coffee table was a piece of paper with a picture of a big pig head with three small fists hitting the head. In the comic-like explosion frame were two cute big words:
Good night!
Wen Liang shook his head and laughed. He ran away quickly after doing something bad, without even taking a shower. How could a girl have the nerve to go into a place where a stinky man had just showered? Besides, even though they were all crazier than each other just now, they couldn't muster up the courage to face Wen Liang, so they had to endure it for the night.
It was already past nine o'clock. After a day of noise, Wen Liang was a little tired. He turned off the main lights and left the small wall lamps on in the four corners. After all, there were three girls in the bedroom, so if there was any emergency, it would be easier to deal with it with some light. Safety was the first priority.
He pulled the quilt over him and fell asleep on the sofa. Outside the window, the wind was blowing hard and the rain was getting heavier!
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yao came out of the bedroom with hazy eyes and went into the bathroom. When she came out again, she passed by the sofa and saw Wen Liang accidentally turned over, kicked off the quilt, and sucked twice. Xu Yao stopped, turned around and walked to the sofa, bent down to pick up the quilt and covered Wen Liang again, then squatted aside and stared blankly at Wen Liang's face.
The sixteen-year-old boy gradually developed a charming sharpness and edges. His long eyebrows slanted into his temples, erasing a bit of solemnity and easing a bit of gentleness. His eyes were closed, without the usual brightness and depth. He lay there, very quiet.
Xu Yao slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Wen Liang's face, but stopped a few inches away, her fingers trembling slightly, and finally she retracted them. Two lines of tears quietly slid down, dripping onto the ground drop by drop.
If I cry for someone, can I say that I love him
The footsteps faded away, and the bedroom door closed gently. Wen Liang suddenly opened his eyes, spread out his right hand in front of him, and there were a few traces of tears in his palm.
He clenched his hands tightly, feeling lost.
The next morning, Wen Liang washed up early and went to the restaurant to order breakfast to be prepared and sent to the room. The hotel manager had been repeatedly reminded by Yang Dingjun that his subordinates must not neglect it, so he agreed without hesitation. When the three women got up, steaming soy milk, willow leaf buns, milk, toasted whole wheat bread, poached eggs, oatmeal porridge and corn porridge, steamed buns, a few special dishes, etc. were already placed on the coffee table. It was quite good to have such a rich meal in such a small place.
Xu Yao yelled, rushed into the bathroom first, and rushed out first. She sat down at the table and praised, "Are you Amon? How did you conjure up so many delicious foods?"
Children who grew up in the 1980s all remember that time when Doraemon was still called Amon, Nobita was called Yasuo, Suneo was called Qiangqiang, and Fat Tiger was called Nobita. The pocket of Doraemon’s magic weapon was the ultimate dream of many children.
Wen Liang picked up a poached egg and placed it on the plate in front of her, saying with a smile, "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself. Drink some milk to warm yourself up first, there are still a lot of buns..."
Xu Yao stuffed half of the bun into her mouth, her eyes wide open with a vigilant look on her face. She finally swallowed the milk in Wen Liang's cup and tilted her head and said, "Strange, why are you suddenly so nice to me? I'm warning you, it's impossible to bribe me with sugar-coated bullets. The request I agreed to yesterday must not be cancelled!"
Wen Liang sighed in his heart, but still smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you just need to accept the sugar coating and fire back the cannonballs. As for what I promised, I will naturally not regret it."
Xu Yao smiled and said, "Forget it!"
After finishing breakfast and packing their backpacks, the four of them went downstairs, chatting and laughing. A square-headed and square-faced man was waiting in the hall. When he saw Wen Liang and the others, he hurried over and asked, "Is this classmate Wen Liang?"
"Yes, I am. Are you Director Li?"
"Haha, what's the point of calling me Director or not? Just call me Brother Li. Don't be fooled by my old face. I'm actually just in my early thirties. There's absolutely no generation gap between me and you guys."
This man is called Li Minghua, the office director of the county township enterprise bureau. He was assigned by Yang Dingjun to take Wen Liang to visit the water plant. Although he looks like a simple country boy, he must be a first-class hand at welcoming and seeing off guests to get the position of office director in the township enterprise bureau. Not to mention that Yang Dingjun would definitely not tell him the identities of Wen Liang and others, the fact that he could get along well with young people right away shows that this man is very perceptive and should be trusted by Yang Dingjun.
A Jinbei van was parked outside the door. Li Minghua said with a smile, "The roads in the countryside are not easy to travel. The small van looks impressive, but if you really want to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, you have to look at our Jinbei vans."
Wen Liang laughed and said, "This is a good slogan!"
The same waitress was on duty today. She escorted him to the door with flattery. Wen Liang thanked her several times before sending her away. Li Minghua joked, "This is the niece of County Magistrate Yang. Maybe she has taken a fancy to the young man from the city..."
Hearing such words from Li Minghua, not only did not make people feel disgusted, but on the contrary, they would feel close to each other. Wen Liang nodded secretly. Everyone is useful, and the key is to find the right position. This Li Minghua is doing the reception work, which is really making the best use of his talents.
From Yang Dingjun to Li Minghua, there are so many powerful people in Yishan. So, in this country that relies on interpersonal relationships, it is absolutely impossible to accomplish something alone.
After taking care of the three girls getting in the car, Wen Liang moved to the passenger seat. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a burly voice coming from behind him: "Is that Master Wen?"
Wen Liang looked back in confusion. Shi Jie was hiding behind a man. Li Minghua came over quickly and said with a big smile on his face, "Director Shi, why are you here? Wen Liang, this is Director Shi Daqing from the County Public Security Bureau."
Wen Liang smiled slightly and said, "Director Shi, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
