Rebirth as an official

Li An pinched his thigh with his right hand to keep himself rational, but it seemed that this effect was getting weaker and weaker. Just when he felt that he was about to lose control, there was a knock on the door.

"Tingting, I'm coming in." This was the voice of Qiu Yating's mother.

With a flick of the brush, Qiu Yating bounced to the other side.

She just didn't allow the ambiguous atmosphere she deliberately created to be completely destroyed by the knock on the door.

The action just now had exhausted her greatest courage, and now she turned into a shy little girl hiding aside.

The door opened, and Qiu Yating's mother walked in with a small bowl, "Xiao Li, try your aunt's cooking."

Li An took the bowl and saw that there were six poached eggs in the bowl. The golden egg liquid swayed slightly in the bowl, exuding a rich egg aroma and a faint sweetness.

Li An whined in his heart, it's over, this is me.

In Qingchuan custom, if the girl's parents approve of the man who comes to the house, they will cook a bowl of poached eggs to express their approval.

In the expectant eyes of Qiu Yating and the kind eyes of Qiu Yating's mother, Li An had no choice but to eat all six eggs, which made Li An roll his eyes.

"Silly boy, just eat whatever you want." Qiu Yating's mother was amused by Li An.

When Li An heard this, he was depressed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li An said goodbye and left the Qiu family.

Qiu Quansheng and his wife sent Li An to the gate and watched Li An and Qiu Yating leave in the car together.

"Lao Qiu, what do you think of this kid Li An?"

"It's a nice kid."

"Then did you mention the transfer to him?"

"I mentioned it, but he rejected it."

"Ah? Is this kid stupid?"

"Hey~ This kid and his dad have a stubborn temper. They both think that they can become famous through their own efforts." Qiu Quansheng shook his head slightly when he said this.

"But Li An is young. It doesn't matter if he suffers setbacks. Once he hits a wall, he will be honest. After he comes to the provincial capital, he will live a good life with our Tingting." Qiu Quansheng thought for a while and said.

"Xiao Li seems to be an honest kid, and I feel relieved." Qiu Yating's mother said.

"Is he honest?" Qiu Quansheng was amused by his wife's words, and then talked about Li An's various deeds.

In the surprised eyes of Qiu Yating's mother, Qiu Quansheng said with satisfaction: "How can you be a mediocre boy when you are the son-in-law of my Qiu family?"

After Li An drove the car out of the provincial party committee's family compound, he stopped on the side of the road, turned to Qiu Yating and said, "Yating, let's come down and take a walk."

"Okay." Qiu Yating nodded.

After Li An left her house, Qiu Yating clearly felt that something was wrong with Li An's mood, and he looked worried.

This is a secluded alleyway. The sun shines through the sparse clouds, and the mottled light and shadow cast on the stone road is very charming.

Li An and Qiu Yating walked forward silently, their footsteps echoed in the quiet air, and an inexplicable tense atmosphere enveloped them.

Li An looked at Qiu Yating who was silent next to him, took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and said:

"Yating, I think you should find a chance to explain our affairs clearly to your father. After all, I have a girlfriend."

Li An's voice was slightly trembling. He knew that such words were cruel, but he had to make a decision immediately and could not continue to entangle.

He was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the temptation and do something he would regret.

Upon hearing Li An's words, Qiu Yating's body suddenly froze. She felt her heart hurt like a knife, and tears could not help but flow from her eyes.

Li An finally told her what she was most worried about.

She couldn't bear this reality, but she also knew that what Li An said was right.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines on Qiu Yating's white cheeks, reflecting the tears on her face.

She shook her head gently, trying to get rid of this painful emotion, but she couldn't do it, and the tears just couldn't stop flowing.

Li An silently looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, his heart also filled with guilt and pain.

He knew how much his words hurt Tingting, but he also knew that this was what he had to do.

"Yating, I hope you can understand, I'm sorry." Li An stuttered out this sentence.

In this peaceful afternoon, their hearts were like a sea ravaged by a storm, with turbulent waves.

After another long silence, Qiu Yating's mood seemed to have calmed down a lot. She raised her head and looked at the handsome young man in front of her, with a sad smile on her face, "Thank you for acting with me today."

After Qiu Yating finished speaking, she turned around decisively and left without any hesitation.

Li An looked at Qiu Yating's leaving figure and spoke softly, with a hint of trembling and apology in his voice:

"I'm sorry, if I didn't know her, I might really fall in love with you."

Li An's eyes were full of deep regret and helplessness.

He understood that his heart was already occupied by another girl, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not change this fact.

Li An's eyes gradually became hollow, as if he had traveled through time and space and was lost in endless thoughts.

He recalled every bit of his acquaintance with Qiu Yating. Those laughter and warm moments flashed in his mind like a movie that kept playing back.

Li An sighed and remembered a modern poem.

Some losses are already doomed, some disappointments are inevitable; some possessions pass away quietly, and some gains are just a dream.

Li An walked alone towards the parking place. He didn't want to go home. He was very upset when he thought that his mother would ask questions when he went back.

At this moment, Li An felt that neither the bustling provincial capital nor Lin Jiang's home was the place he wanted to stay. At this time, he missed Zhai Bei extremely.

"Beibei, what are you doing?" Li An dialed his girlfriend's phone number.

"Nothing to do, just reading in the room." Zhai Bei's voice sounded very lazy.

"I remember there was a flight from the provincial capital to Jinghai in the afternoon." Li An recalled.

"What do you want to do?" Zhai Bei's surprised voice could be heard on the phone.

"I want to come to Wujiang to find you." Li An said.

Jinghai is only a few dozen kilometers away from Wujiang, and it takes less than an hour by train.

"Did something happen?" Zhai Bei became even more worried.

"No, I just miss you."

Li An's gentle voice warmed Zhai Beibei's heart, but she still thought about Li An and said, "I have to go to work in two or three days. It's too troublesome for you to run back and forth. I will go back to Yangdong after the Chinese New Year." Looking for you, okay?”

"No, I'm informing you that I'm going back, not discussing with you. Wait for me." Li An spoke in a commanding tone for the first time.

The strong tone made Zhai Bei's heart feel as hot as being hit by a volcano.

She immediately got up from the bed and was about to start putting on makeup, but as soon as she picked up the foundation, she remembered that it was still early, so she opened her suitcase and rummaged through her clothes.

The journey from the provincial capital to Jinghai was more than a thousand kilometers, and the flight took an hour and a half. Li An had just made a last-minute decision and did not have any luggage. He walked through the luggage carousel and walked out of the isolation hall directly.

As soon as I arrived at the passenger pick-up hall, I saw Zai standing on tiptoes and craning his neck to look around. When he saw Li An, he waved his hands vigorously with a look of joy on his face.

Li An rushed to Zhai Bei at a trot and hugged her fiercely.

Zhicup was still not used to being so affectionate in front of the public, so he broke away from Li An's arms with some trepidation, took Li An's arm and said, "Let's go back to the hotel first."

With his lover nestled in his arms, Li An's worries disappeared. .
