Looking at this face that I had kissed and caressed countless times before, my heart was filled with mixed feelings. How beautiful was this young face? Who would have thought that this was the face of a thirty-six year old woman? Who would have thought that this was the face of someone who had gone through countless vicissitudes of life and had gone through many hardships?

I knew that pain and suffering were in her heart.

Panicking, I looked out the window.

"Mm …" I nodded.

"If you follow me to the south, Xiao Xu won't know about it beforehand, right?" Liu Yue's voice dropped yet again.

"No, I didn't." I lowered my voice.

"Why didn't you tell her? We're here for work, not to do anything else, the more you don't tell us, the worse it will be. Before we left, I looked at Xiao Xu with an unpleasant expression …"

"I... I forgot! "

"You lied again …" Liu Yue chuckled, "This time, you have lied twice. Not good, not good at all. Director Jiang, how can you lie to the Leader …"

Liu Yue's voice was somewhat mischievous, and did not contain any intention of blaming them.

Embarrassed, I smiled and said nothing.

"There shouldn't be any psychological burdens after being punished, right …" After a moment of silence, Liu Yue asked me softly.

She was referring to the matter of me being internally punished by the newspaper and me being notified by the Ministry of Propaganda in the City's news system.

"There must be a burden," I said, "but it has already happened. What can I do? Fortunately, Ma Shuji gave the opportunity back to the Department of Public Information. At the same time, Chen Jing had a chance to promote herself to the Deputy Director. "

"This matter, even though it was personally decided by Zhang Buzhang, Zhang Buzhang still appreciates you. It's just that, if you were to offend him, Zhang Buzhang's work would also need a perfect example, so …" Liu Yue said in a low voice that only I could hear.

"So, I became Zhang Buzhang's sacrifice to promote the New Deal. So, I made a contribution to Zhang Buzhang …" "No," I said.

"Basically, you can think of it like that. Don't have any feelings for Zhang Buzhang, he still has a good impression of you in the end. He won't have any bad thoughts about you just because of this …"

"He is the City Leader, and I am a little pawn. How would I dare to have any feelings for the Big Leadership? My punishment has also come out. The City's public information system knows that Jiang Feng has a bad professional ethics and is accepting gifts randomly. I have already lost my face, so what else can I do? " I spoke in a somewhat sulky tone.

"Don't play with a child's temper, be obedient," Liu Yue's tone was filled with gentleness, as if she was a mother educating a child, "This is how official matters are like this, Zhuge Liang is even raising his horse and crying, there are some things, even the Big Leadership cannot do as they please, they have to be considered comprehensively, and cannot be ignored. Furthermore, the Big Leadership still has to consider how his work will be carried out even more effectively, so, so your coincidence is that this time around, it shouldn't have much of an impact on your future … "Remember, no matter what punishment you receive, as long as the leader appreciates you, you will not fall into depravity, and you will definitely be able to continue improving. If the leader disapproves of you, no matter how capable you are, no matter how much work you do, it will all be for naught …"

Hearing Liu Yue's words, I felt that it made sense and nodded my head silently.

"Also, Chen Jing and I have talked on the phone …" Liu Yue said.

"Oh …" I looked at Liu Yue and knew what Liu Yue's words meant. "You know about it already?"

"Yes, I know," Liu Yue nodded his head: "What you are doing is right, a leader of a department should be doing this, a man in charge should be doing this. Your way, I admire you very much, you are a true man, a true man …"

Just like a year or so ago, any of Liu Yue's praises made my heart ripple.

"Thank you, thank you for praising me so much. I'm very happy to hear it. I haven't heard you praise me so highly in a long time …" I said, suddenly sad.

Liu Yue stopped talking, she looked into my eyes and suddenly sighed: "Come, let's change seats."

"What?" I don't understand.

"It's convenient for you to view the beautiful scenery of spring outside …" Liu Yue smiled and stood up.

Thus, I sat down next to the window while Liu Yue sat outside.

I pressed myself against the window and looked greedily out at the fields, the scattered villages, and the mountain ranges in the distance.

After a while, I turned my head and saw Liu Yue leaning against the back of the chair, staring blankly out of the window.

I don't know if Liu Yue was also looking at the scenery outside the window like me, or if she was looking at me, but I felt that Liu Yue was looking at me, because she was just saying that the scenery here wasn't looking good.

I turned my head and just happened to meet Liu Yue's gaze. Liu Yue quickly shifted her gaze.

The moment before Liu Yue shifted her gaze, I saw endless sadness and gentleness in Liu Yue's eyes.

My heart thumped.

After a while, Liu Yue leaned against the back of the chair and dozed off.

I was tired, too, and I leaned back in my chair and fell asleep.

Faintly, I felt Liu Yue's body leaning against mine, her head leaning against my shoulder.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Liu Yue asleep with her head leaning on my shoulder.

It had been over a year, but Liu Yue and I were actually so close. I could practically feel Liu Yue's light breathing, as well as the familiar fragrance of jasmine floating into my nose.

Liu Yue must have been sleeping soundly, so her body unconsciously pulled closer to me.

I didn't move at all and closed my eyes once again. I felt Liu Yue's warmth and comfort, and felt Liu Yue's fragrant body fragrance … )

I was a little intoxicated and touched. I really hoped that this road would go on forever and never end.

I really wish that Liu Yue would fall asleep while leaning on my shoulder, leaning on me just like this …

My thoughts were obviously unrealistic. When I woke up from my slumber once again, Liu Yue had already left my body, and was taking out Da Geda from my bag to give to Division Chief Qin: "Division Chief Qin, you and Municipal Committee Propaganda Department Wuxi will be making a call. Tell me where you are, and determine the location of the next contact …"

After a few days, Liu Yue was compatible with Da Geda.

Division Chief Qin took Liu Yue's hand and started to make a call.

Liu Yue saw that I had woken up, she stroked her hair and smiled to me: "You woke up?"

"Mm …" I nodded, and looked at Da Geda who was in Division Chief Qin's hands: "Since when were you compatible with Da Geda?"

When I reported it to Zhang Buzhang, Zhang Buzhang said that the Ministry's funds were tight, there were no extra expenses, and the event was very good. But since the funds had to be self-financed, I contacted a few units in the city to sponsor the car and the food and lodging expenses. Then, when agreed to sign the letter, he asked the three Public Information Units s in the name of the department to give these sponsors a press report, which could also be considered as a reward … " Liu Yue said.

"Does this count as paid news?" I was suddenly not convinced.

"Haha …" Liu Yue smiled as she looked at me: "Do you still remember what I told you before, don't be so persistent in chasing after the truth. In this world, there is no eternal truth, and I don't know if you have heard of a joke about it. This is a good joke. Can you understand it? "

"I understand," I said in a muffled voice. "To put it bluntly, it means that the officials of Xuzhou are not allowed to light the lanterns."

Liu Yue chuckled, "There are some things that you can never explain, and you won't understand them. Then, don't try to understand them.

I nodded. "Yeah …" "It's hard to understand …"

Liu Yue looked at me and smiled, but didn't say anything.

After Division Chief Qin finished his call, he returned Da Geda back to Liu Yue. "Minister Liu, contact them well, they are waiting for us at the government guest house in Wu Xi city.

Liu Yue nodded, received Da Geda and put him into his bag.

After a while, Liu Yue said to me: "After travelling for such a long time, remember to always inform Xiao Xu that you are safe and sound. Don't let her worry about you.

"Mm …" I nodded.

"Do you want to fight now?" Liu Yue looked at me.

"No," I said, shaking my head. "She won't be in the office for the weekend."

"That might not be the case. Maybe she'll come to the office just to wait for your call!" Liu Yue took out Da Geda and handed him to me: "Try fighting one."

I did not reject anymore. Even though I knew that Qing Er was not here, I did not have any intentions of giving him a hard time. Thus, I took the phone and called Qing Er's office.

Just as he called, he received a call: "Hello, I'm Qing Er from the Jianghai University's Foreign Language Department."

Qing Er was actually in the office. I was very surprised and I stuttered, "Qing … Qing Er, it's me. "

"Ah — feng-ge!" Qing Er shouted in surprise, "It's really you, really, I've been waiting for your call!"

"Idiot!" Didn't I tell you that you have to travel for a day today? It's not like you're going to work today, what are you waiting for by the office! " I'll teach Qing Er a lesson.

"I know you probably won't call me today, but since I don't have anything to do in the dorm, I thought, maybe a pie would fall from the sky, maybe you would have the chance to call me. So I just lay in front of the office phone, looking at the phone, waiting for you to call, hehe …" He didn't expect that a call would actually come … "What, you've arrived?" Qing Er's voice was very excited.
