Chapter 48: My heart is too soft

The Spring Festival in 1994 came silently. Although Zhao Guodong invited Kong Yue to his home to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Kong Yue, who was flirting with her, still rejected Zhao Guodong's enthusiastic invitation.

As the Spring Festival approaches, every household is in their own home. Unless the relationship is clear, no one will recklessly run to other people's houses. Kong Yue doesn't want the relationship between him and Zhao Guodong to be completely exposed to the people in the factory, although many people in the factory, including the two families, have recognized their lover relationship.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Guodong spent an extremely quiet Spring Festival at the Development Zone Police Station. Except for Zhu Xingwen accompanying the county party secretary Lu Weihong and county magistrate Mao Daolin to visit the duty police officers of the development zone police station, there was nothing else. The company had closed its doors and most of them would not officially start construction until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Zhao Guodong sat bored in the office of the Management Committee. On the first day of the lunar calendar, he was the police station in charge of the class. On the second day of the lunar calendar, it was his turn as the deputy director to take charge of the class in the management committee. There were three people in one class, one leader or two staff members, and the main job was to guard the phone number or receive the visiting people. However, during the New Year, even the people who responded to the matter would not choose to seek bad luck at this time.

A figure wandered outside the door for a long time, until the staff on duty felt a little strange and walked out the door to find that it was a beautiful girl.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Is Zhao Guodong here?"

"Are you looking for Director Zhao? He is here, Director Zhao, someone is looking for him!"

Zhao Guodong was so idle that his whole body was itchy. He heard someone looking for him. He ran out after taking two steps at a time, "Who? Xiaojin?"

As he slowed down, Zhao Guodong's face changed several times, and finally turned into a calm face, "It's Xiaojin, come, come in quickly."

No matter what happened before, after all, they were still in love, and the sour feelings filled Zhao Guodong's heart. Although Tang Jin tried his best to keep his natural and generous, both parties who were too familiar with each other realized the excitement of each other at the same time.

Tang Jin took a deep breath, and then walked around Zhao Guodong's office.

There is a pot of cloud bamboo on the gorgeous and exquisite desk, and a row of large works are placed in a row of bookcases behind it. A set of sofas are placed in front of the desk. The bright large windows, elegant curtains, and spacious view outside the window are all telling Tang Jin that the country policeman of the past has been transformed in just one year.

Tang Jin didn't know why she got into the car and came to Jiangkou by chance. Zhao Guodong's work changes were not hidden for long. In fact, after the night of Zhao Guodong's Anyuan University, she quickly learned from the police college classmate that Zhao Guodong's current situation was mixed together.

"You seem to live a very comfortable life now, right?" Tang Jin said slowly after walking around the room.

"Xiao Jin, are you here today talking about these things, right?" Zhao Guodong spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Why don't you say it? I just want to know how you can be reborn in this year, and why do you act dull in front of our family?" Tang Jin's cheeks flushed, his eyes were like torches, staring at Zhao Guodong, his proud jaw slightly raised, like a cock-fighting position waiting to fight.

"What do you want me to say? This is how work and life come. In May, the bureau appointed me as the director of Jiangmiao Police Station. In October, the police station of the development zone was newly built. I participated in the competition and went on. As a result, the county, given the complex public security situation in the development zone, in order to strengthen the improvement and management of the social security environment in the development zone, the police station chief was asked to join the management committee team. I became the deputy director in a confused manner. It was that simple."

Zhao Guodong's smile was also full of helplessness and bitterness. His career was smooth sailing in the eyes of outsiders and even Tang Jin, but only he knew the internal crisis.

The May deadline is approaching. If you don’t make some decent results in May, it can be said that Jiangkou Development Zone is very likely to be the first target to be laid off. Even if Zhu Guoping and Hua Xingyun’s factory construction plan will be rolled out after the New Year, it will still be far from enough.

A development zone with only a few companies and investments of only 20 to 30 million yuan is far from that of Huayang and Wangtang, which have a production value of over 100 million yuan, is the development zones in Lushan, Guanghe, Yuntai, and even Changjin and Meixian. How to get rid of the fate of being laid off is what Zhao Guodong is most concerned about at the moment.

"It's that simple? Do you dare to say that you don't have anyone to help?" Tang Jin was aggressive and his tone became even more sharp.

Zhao Guodong was used to being timid in front of Tang Jin. He didn't even notice this. As long as Tang Jin got angry, Zhao Guodong would consciously retreat or tolerate.

"Xiao Jin, what do you want to know?" Zhao Guodong simply sat on the sofa.

"I want to know that since you are so familiar with Director Liu, why don't you let him transfer you back to the city? Even if you don't want to go back to the city, why don't you tell me that you have such a close 'friend' with my family?" Tang Jin's lips were as hot as fire, and every word was inseparable from the key points.

Zhao Guodong was silent for a while before he said silently: "Xiao Jin, I met Director Liu by chance. It was not the aid you imagined. Maybe his existence helped me some help on purpose or not, but at work I did not ask him to do anything. As for not telling you and your family, do you think we can continue to have sex without dating, because I didn't tell you that I have a close relationship with your family and the Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

This heart-killing statement immediately made Tang Jin feel like he was thundering, and tears flashed in his beautiful crystal eyes.

"Zhao Guodong, do you have a conscience? Could it be that if you tell me this relationship with my family, it will defile our relationship? But have you experienced the concern and care of parents and relatives for their children? You are in Jiangmiao, I am in the city, 80 kilometers apart, and it takes more than two hours to take a bus. When my parents and friends don't know you, you say they can't object? You are so noble, and you are even stingy to show your advantages and let my parents rest assured to hand me over to you?"

Zhao Guodong took a deep breath, and the scenes of the past appeared. Who can forget his first love? Just like the image stored in the corner of his heart, it will pass by again whenever it is touched. Maybe he is really wrong, but can he do it again now?

"Xiao Jin, I remember that we had agreed that persistence is victory, but the words are still in my ears, but the flowers are helpless. I think we have all worked hard, but maybe we are not sincere enough, or maybe we are not persisting enough, and now that things have come to this, what else can we say?"

Zhao Guodong's words were also infinitely sad, and the unforgettable part ended like this? Why did he always dream about Tang Jin being able to re-enter his arms? Is the old love unforgettable or is it that a man's selfish possessive mentality at the cost of his life?

"You mean we will part with you, like a passerby?" Tang Jin packed up his surging feelings and said in a deep voice.

"What else can we do? Luo Fu has a husband, what can you do?" Zhao Guodong shook his head with a breath.

Tang Jin's originally hot heart gradually calmed down. She could see the depression between Zhao Guodong's eyebrows, but how could she say what she thought in her heart?

When the little sister asked about her progress with Jiang Weicai in a concealed manner, she felt a little strange. Then, under her own questioning, the little sister rudely told the scene that Xi Cuiyuan saw. The whole family was speechless, and even the eyes of her father and mother who had been firmly opposed became hesitant, especially when she learned that there was no progress in the relationship between her and Jiang Weicai.

"Guodong, Guodong!"

As soon as Kong Yue pushed open the office door, he realized something was wrong. The beautiful girl in front of him seemed to be red and swollen, looking forward to something, but Zhao Guodong looked sad.

"Xiaoyue?"

Xiao Jin, Xiao Yue? Tang Jin only felt that she was hit hard on her chest, which made her almost faint, but she knew that she could not retreat at this time, nor could she be weak, nor could she lose her composure. The inexplicable anger made her resist the sadness and pain and stare at the other party, "Guodong, it seems that it is not Luo Fu who has a husband, but the envoy who has a wife, Zhao Guodong, I really didn't see you wrong!"

Zhao Guodong did not expect that the two girls would meet in this way, so embarrassing and depressing.

"Xiao Jin, this is Xiao Yue." Zhao Guodong tried hard to stabilize his mind and make his expression more natural, as if he had not heard the sarcasm and sarcasm in Tang Jin's words, "Xiao Yue, this is my classmate, Tang Jin."

Kong Yue's originally gentle gaze suddenly became sharp, and no girl would retreat in this situation, especially when she found that the other party was showing off her hostility like a peacock with open-screen displays.

"Guodong, your police classmate?"

"Guodong, is this your high school classmate or a junior high school classmate? from the textile factory?"

The contempt in Tang Jin's words suddenly stimulated Kong Yue, "Guodong, what's going on with her? Your former girlfriend?"

"It was, and now it is!" Tang Jin was not showing any weakness. For some reason, she suddenly became full of fighting spirit. At least she must not be at a disadvantage in front of such a female factory worker.

"It's the same now? Why don't I know?" Kong Yue's face showed a contemptuous smile. She had seen the woman in front of her, of course, in the photo. She also vaguely heard of this girl from Zhao Deshan's mouth, which was not easy to say. For some reason, she broke up half a year ago before she got along with Zhao Guodong.

"Who are you? You need you to know?" Seeing the contemptuous look on the other person's face, Tang Jin's fighting spirit was even more high. Even if he and Zhao Guodong really broke up, it was not a factory girl who showed off her power in front of him.

"I don't need to know who I am. Guodong and I are enough." Kong Yue never found that his words became so sharp.

"Hmph, I should say this sentence. Where are you when Guodong and I are together?" Tang Jin sneered, "Want to take advantage of the emotional crisis between Guodong and I to write an article? Dream!"

Kong Yue was shocked, but then he said, "Emotional crisis? Will there be a crisis in real feelings? It is better to give up the relationship that cannot stand the test earlier."

After being stabbed by Kong Yue's words, Tang Jin took a deep breath and said fiercely: "If a relationship that has never had ups and downs, it is not love!"

"Is that? This is the motto you invented?" Kong Yue's eyes were bright, "Does every couple have to hurt each other and be bruised all over the body to be called experiencing love? What a joke!"

Zhao Guodong could only look helplessly at the two girls in front of him who were talking and fighting with each other. One was his ex-girlfriend but still connected, and the other was his current girlfriend. For the first time, he felt that beautiful women seemed to be born with enemies.

"Guodong, tell her, who am I you? Can you deny that you don't have me in your heart?" Tang Jin's eyes lifted the veil.

"Very good, I want to hear Guodong's explanation of this matter." Kong Yue was not willing to be outdone at all. She was gentle on the surface, but she could not retreat or tolerate the issue of major issues.

Zhao Guodong, who was speechless, looked at the two girls who were facing each other in front of him with a daze. He knew that at this time he could only hurt one girl to win another girl. Trying to please both ends and smooth the two ends would only make both girls leave him, but he was a little confused when he chose who to choose at this moment.

Tang Jin undoubtedly retains a position that other girls cannot replace in his heart. The green and sourness of first love is like a plum treasured in the depths of his heart. Occasionally licking it will always be endless aftertaste; and what about Kong Yue? The hazy unrequited love has become a true lover. The longer the seemingly ordinary feelings are stored, the more you can feel the mellowness and richness that gradually emanates.

If he wanted to choose a plain and real relationship, Kong Yue was undoubtedly the best partner, but could he really cut off the love he had for Tang Jin? Zhao Guodong asked himself, but he couldn't find the answer.

Kong Yue's surging anger and Tang Jin's provocative gaze finally collided with each other, "Zhao Guodong, please give me an answer!"

"Uh, this," Zhao Guodong really didn't know how he should answer this question. If he faced one of them, he was confident that he could easily resolve it, but this was a three-way match. The impartial answer could only hurt everyone!

Just as Kong Yue burst into tears and rushed away, Tang Jin just let out a cold snort and turned away.

Until now, I may really need to consider whether it is necessary to make peace with Zhao Guodong again. Tang Jin's once injured heart scars once again leapt with blood.

All the longings for Zhao Guodong seemed to be absent from the other party at once. In just half a year, he actually dared to provoke another girl, and the relationship was quite good at this look!

Although Tang Jin is confident that no one can replace his position in Zhao Guodong's mind, as long as he shows a little willingness to reconcile, Zhao Guodong will return to his side, but is there any meaning to reconcile like this now?

Zhao Guodong never expected that he would end like this after a little hesitation. Kong Yue left, and Tang Jin left without saying a word, which made him lose sight of the other. When he was stunned, the two buses that were parked at the right time seemed to be against Zhao Guodong. One went south to Pingchuan and the other went north to Andu District. When Zhao Guodong dared to come out, he only saw Tang Jin boarding the bus heading north, and Kong Yue had undoubtedly given the bus heading south.

He almost didn't give Zhao Guodong a chance to think, and the two buses started to leave, leaving only the lonely figure of Zhao Guodong who was lost standing in the cold wind.
