i'm not a bad man

Chapter 316
Actually, I really don’t think I have the ability to repair the relationship between Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi that has gone sour. However, Qiao Jiao said that the current relationship between the three of us is a bit similar to Chang Tianming and the three of them. I still agree with it a little bit. , because what we are doing now is also something that can change the pattern of the small town. Although it is still calm now, there is actually a turbulent undercurrent. Of course Lu Xi can escape unscathed, but it is difficult for Qiao Jiao and I to say, so, I am very I'm curious, who among us corresponds to Chang Chang's father, and will eventually become the one who helps others.

However, before Qiao Jiao opened her mouth to answer, I suddenly realized that this was really a stupid question. Even if Qiao Jiao followed me and was completely defeated, she would still be able to escape unscathed, even if others I don’t know, but I know very well in my heart how much her father dotes on her. As long as she is willing to accept everything her father arranges for her, she will still be the wealthy young lady who lacks nothing, and I...

I am a little unwilling to think about the scene after failure, because I will be wandering on the unknown road with the regret of accomplishing nothing; this seems to be my fate, so Luan Yu has said to me more than once: A wandering person has no roots. of.

Although now, I am trying to stop myself and try my best to do something that I think is very meaningful, but if I really can't succeed, there seems to be no better choice besides accepting my fate.

So, I smiled, and then said to Qiao Jiao with a sincere attitude: "You don't need to answer, I have a sense of balance in my heart... How can a smart person like me become a stepping stone for others..."

"What you said is so heartless!"

I smiled again and tried not to look too anxious on this thorny road. After all, I am a man. The more determined I am, the more secure the women around me will be. Based on this idea, From the day Qiao Jiao planned to stay, I told myself that I would never complain, complain, or be negative in front of her under any circumstances...

At this time, Qiao Jiao said again: "I am following you, so we have a relationship of mutual prosperity and disgrace. Since you can't be a stepping stone for others, then I can also follow you and ascend to heaven... In the end The one corresponding to Chang Chang’s father would be Luxi.”

"This logic should be fine."

Qiao Jiao laughed first, then shrugged. She didn't know whether she liked this inference or thought it was ridiculous, but no matter how she thought about it, this matter would eventually have a result, and she pretended to be determined. When I think of this result, my mood is already ups and downs, because I am the one among the three who really bets on the future.

……

After leaving the hotel where Qiao Jiao worked, I suddenly discovered that I had not even mentioned a word to Qiao Jiao about the "Love is Priceless" event plan. If I wanted to participate in this event, she must be the only one. The woman who can accompany me is because Lu Xi and I have a conflict of positions, but Qiao Jiao and I are a couple in the eyes of others. Even if it is acting, we should act it out to the end in front of others.

……

This afternoon, I met with Heizu and others, and then had a very detailed communication with them about this activity plan. On the premise that Chang Tianming had approved it, they also expressed strong expectations for this activity. Love, especially Black Foot, he is already imagining that on the day when the event starts, he and Qiao Jiao can climb to the top of the mountain together and become a model couple.

I can only guide him to focus back on this activity, because how to ensure the safety of the activity, how much budget is appropriate, what channels should be used to inform the audience about the activity, and how to convert the traffic after the activity into a regular event. Tianming’s bid to seize the bargaining chip for the road expansion project is something we need to consider carefully.

……

After four hours of discussion, we finally came up with a preliminary plan. In the process of improving this plan, I have another very important thing to do: I plan to discuss it with the scenic spot tomorrow. The representatives of the aboriginal people here talked about the renaming of the scenic spot. The reason why they are so urgent is because this is the premise for the entire activity to be implemented. If Danangou cannot be successfully changed to Lover's Valley, the "Love is Priceless" activity will It will appear that the words do not convey the meaning, which will affect the effect of the entire activity.

I have a hunch that this must be the most severe challenge I have encountered since arriving in the small town, because Chang Tianming emphasized to me that changing the beliefs of the indigenous people is very easy to create opposition and is also very dangerous. things.

……

Whenever I feel stressed, I will habitually come to "Shuanglong Lake" and stand for a while. I like the dusk here. It always brings me a kind of tenderness, as if I am also a drop of water in the lake, drifting with the current. No matter where you go, sometimes you kiss the wind, sometimes you blend with the afterglow of the sunset...

Just when I was about to light a cigarette for myself to amplify the pleasure, my phone vibrated in my pocket again. I took it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be a video request from Zhao Yingrou.

She is still the same as before and always likes to communicate with me in this completely non-private way, but I hate answering video calls because every time my appearance appears on the screen, I feel like I have become A portrait, constrained in the frame; but I still accepted her video request because I knew her. If I refused, she would send endless messages until I accepted... I had already given She has determined that she is the kind of woman who will never give up until she reaches her goal. She treats her ideals the same way and treats men the same way.

...I took a deep breath subconsciously. After seven years, I finally saw Zhao Yingrou on this small mobile phone screen. Regardless of her temperament, in terms of appearance, she has really matured a lot. Her baby The fat is gone, replaced by a mature sexiness, and a leanness that can only come after being involved in the world... This change, to me, seems to be an affirmation that my vision back then was not random. He casually gave his first love to an ordinary woman.

"Are you really a Korean Chao?"

I replied expressionlessly: "I'm not a Korean trend, I'm a heat wave."

Zhao Yingrou curled her lips and laughed: "The tone of voice is still the same as before... But why did you cut your hair so short? When we were together, didn't you always keep your hair long and flaunt yourself as a rock and roll youth?"

"I became a monk and recently returned to secular life."

"You're just talking nonsense... I've even looked at your circle of friends. You seem to have been running around the country in the past few years..." After a short pause, Zhao Yingrou on the other end of the phone said to me again: "Han Chao, your family is in a state of poverty. What happened after that?... Later, there was no more news from you. Later, even your parents left Tianjin... The year before last, I went to the community where you lived at the time and asked several questions. Neighbors say your family has sold their house a long time ago."

I laughed: "Come on, I didn't see you caring about me when my family was in decline... Even if I need sympathy, is it too late for you to come and tell me this now?"

Zhao Yingrou had a helpless expression on her face and replied: "I was just a student like you at that time. I wanted to sympathize with you, but it was also because I was powerless."

"So, you are capable now? ...That's just right. I'm particularly short of money recently. Borrowing one thousand is not too little, and borrowing ten thousand is not too much."

"Are you embarrassed? Borrow money from a woman!"

"If I can really borrow money from you, I can be shameless."

Zhao Yingrou laughed happily, and then replied to me: "If you are short of anything, I can buy it for you, but I will never lend you money, because my tutor does not allow me to keep a pretty boy."

"It's boring, stop talking, hang up..."

After saying that, I really hung up the video call from Zhao Yingrou. If there is a woman in this world who can let me express my emotions unscrupulously, it must be her. I don’t know why I am like this. Maybe it’s because of me. Deep down, I feel that I should suppress her. After all, she is the first and only girlfriend I dated when my family still had money; I have given her too many things, so for her, I There is never any feeling of indebtedness, and once a person's heart is magnanimous, he will naturally become relaxed and casual.

Just when I was about to leave Shuanglong Lake, Zhao Yingrou sent me another message: "Tonight, JD.com has a flash sale. Condoms are only 16 yuan a box. If you are short of them, I will send them to you." …”

I was really angry. I was already relaxed and casual, but she was even more relaxed and casual than me. Could it be that in her heart, she never felt that she owed me anything?
……

The reason why I left Shuanglong Lake before dark was because I had a date with Qiao Jiao of Lu Xi tonight. During this date between three people, I had an important task. I wanted to repair the relationship between Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi...

Although I went to the appointment on time, it does not mean that I have the means to do it. Until now, I am still not sure why there was a rift in their relationship, which means that I do not have the conditions to prescribe the right medicine.

Just when I thought the atmosphere between the three of them would be awkward when they met, Lu Xi and Qiao Jiao walked towards me from left to right, and then actually held my arm on one side in the crowded street. It makes me feel like I have two girlfriends at the same time...

I first looked at Qiao Jiao, and then at Lu Xi who was wearing a hat and mask, and I felt like my jaw was about to drop!
But this is really not a dream, because there is no color in dreams, but I saw countless neon lights flickering and changing in the cold wind. I even felt the heat coming from their bodies, one left and one right, faintly. …
