[In the name of the people] In the name of Secretary Dakang

Once some things happen, they can never be reversed.

Just like now, Li Dakang knows that he is already in the quagmire and can no longer get out, so at the meeting this morning, Secretary Sha called him three times and he didn't hear it. If it was in the past, it would never have happened Things, absent-mindedness at work, was what he had always hated the most.

Then why is Li Dakang absent-minded, for Lu Xiaoning?No, far more than that, Li Dakang listed nearly ten political influences on him in his mind.He was thinking about Chi Lu again, his own niece, he knew very well that Chi Lu was a person who couldn't hide things, he just wanted to see how long it took for it to reach other people's ears.Now he only hopes that his daughter Jiajia will know later and give him some time to relax, so that his father will not be too embarrassed.

In the past, no matter how tired he was at work, he would return to life with asceticism, but now it is different. Both life and work make this gray-haired city/committee secretary start to feel powerless.

Chi Lu is indeed as Li Dakang said, she can't hide things in her heart, she can't care about anything when she is angry, she really hates Lu Xiaoning for a moment, but she can't say why she hates her no matter what.But she really couldn't accept that her best friend and her uncle had a shady affair under her nose. Thanks to her warm invitation to Lu Xiaoning's house for dinner, she might be the culprit who lured the wolf into the house.

The first call she made was her cousin Li Jia. Li Jia is the daughter of Li Dakang. She was sent to the United States to study since she was a child. Chi Lu only saw her during the Chinese New Year. She usually communicates with WeChat. Li Dakang's relationship has always been extremely cold. At this moment, she doesn't care how much her words and words will harm the relationship between the father and daughter. Anyway, she seems to spit out tofu dregs, taking what she sees and guessing All poured out with Li Jia.

Chi Lu was really dizzy. She was such a kind and enthusiastic girl, but at this moment she was exaggerating on the basis of the truth. She couldn't care about anything else now, she just wanted to attract a few more people who were on the same front as her. People, spurned Li Dakang together, and Lu Xiaoning together.But she forgot that if this continues, she herself will be hurt, because she is hurting her closest people.

Li Jia hung up Chi Lu's phone, feeling severe chest tightness. She was sitting on her desk at the moment, and the golden sands of dusk splashed onto the photo frame at the corner of her desk. In the photo frame were photos of her, Li Dakang and her mother Ouyang at her coming-of-age ceremony. Taking a group photo, that was probably the happiest moment when her parents laughed in her memory.

However, everything seems so ironic now. She thinks of her mother's difficulty, and her father's self-confidence and stubbornness that never shares her mother's worries, which makes her even more angry. In addition, her mother is in prison, but Li Dakang has only She was willing to take the time to visit when she returned to China. At first she comforted her mother because her father was too busy, but after receiving a call from Chi Lu, she realized that she was wrong too much. Her father was not too busy. But he is too cold-blooded.

"Pa-ta--" She could no longer bear the warm illusion created by the family of three in the photo, and pushed the photo frame down, and then, visible to the naked eye, circle after circle of fine dust was swirling in the sun.

Lu Xiaoning prepared the meals early and waited for Li Dakang to come back.She is still a rookie in cooking, but she still bravely pointed out the whole afternoon in the kitchen.

Finally, looking at the dishes on the table, Lu Xiaoning's sense of accomplishment was like a raging ocean wave, which almost drowned out her sense of guilt just now.But just for a moment, Lu Xiaoning remembered that there was such a table of dishes in Li Dakang's house, but there were four people at that time, but now there are only two people.

The doorbell rang, and Lu Xiaoning ran to open the door happily. She obediently took Li Dakang's briefcase, showing a gentle smile: "Are you back?" It was as if nothing happened in the morning.

Li Dakang breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the food on the table, hey, it was really rich, he said with some admiration: "You can cook!"

Lu Xiaoning puffed out his chest proudly: "Of course!"

Li Dakang put on his slippers and handed the suit jacket to Lu Xiaoning. The two of them seemed like a couple who had been together for many years, and they had a tacit understanding.

When Li Dakang took advantage of Lu Xiaoning's turn to hang up his clothes, the smile that had been hanging on his face disappeared instantly.This morning, as soon as he entered the office, Li Jia called and scolded him bloody, but he couldn't refute it. He knew that his father's image had completely collapsed.The deep sense of powerlessness made him feel that his entire life had been crippled.He did not give his wife the life he wanted, nor did he give his daughter an ideal father.

As for the driver Xiao Zhang, he didn't explain anything. Xingzhi would definitely tell the driver that he didn't return all night, and the answer was self-evident.He is not a person who likes to explain, not to mention the fact that it is the case, the more you cover it up, the more ridiculous it will be in the end.There are too many eyes on Li Dakang, and too many people want to see him laugh.

Matters related to the sewage plant in the new area were settled after three consecutive meetings, and only this incident made his gloomy mood clear up.

When Li Dakang is not smiling, his whole body is tightly surrounded by a circle of fierceness that is not angry but mighty. He doesn't even need to frown. Just with a pair of eyes, he can give people a sense of cloudiness. His eyes are too sharp He used to look at Lu Xiaoning with such sharp eyes...

"Hang it up, let's eat." Lu Xiaoning stepped out of the bedroom stepping on slippers, and Li Dakang's gloomy expression disappeared immediately.

"Have a cold?" Li Dakang asked with concern when he heard Lu Xiaoning's strong nasal voice, raised his chin slightly.

Lu Xiaoning nodded: "A little bit."

"Is there any medicine?" Li Dakang asked, about to put down his chopsticks.If there is no medicine, he will go down to buy it. He thinks of the heavy rain last night, and regrets why he didn't go to the door to pick her up, but regret is of no use, no matter how much he likes Lu Xiaoning, he must pay attention to the impact...

"I've eaten it." Lu Xiaoning said, and took a piece of fish for Li Dakang.

Li Dakang ate whatever Lu Xiaoning put in, and complimented him cooperatively after eating: "The craftsmanship is good!"

Li Dakang didn't know if he was really hungry or he wanted to pretend to be very hungry to cover up the gully between the two of them. He just buried his head in eating, and even avoided looking at Lu Xiaoning.

Lu Xiaoning noticed it, she turned away, blinked her eyes vigorously, forced back the moisture in her eyes, pushed the stool away and got up and said, "Let me serve you a meal!"

"Okay." Li Dakang handed over the bowl and remained silent.

After refilling the meal, within a minute, Lu Xiaoning picked up the water glass that Li Dakang always kept in his hand, and said, "I'll add some water for you."

The corners of Li Dakang's lips twitched slightly, wanting to say something, but he held back. He watched Lu Xiaoning add water for him quietly. A handful of hair slipped from behind his ears, making Lu Xiaoning look extra gentle. Her nails were covered with nail polish. And exuding a shiny luster, after adding water, Lu Xiaoning sat for a while, got up again, pretended to slap his forehead in a hurry and said, "Look at me, there are still vegetables in the pot, I'll add some more!"

Li Dakang finally couldn't help it this time, he stopped it aloud: "Xiao Ning! Don't be too busy." He put down his chopsticks, clenched his hands tightly and then loosened them a little bit.

"I..." Lu Xiaoning stopped, and only uttered one word, tears uncontrollably slid down his cheeks and fell into his clothes.

"Crying again? Why do you love to cry so much?" Li Dakang leaned forward, his eyes were as gentle as if there was a pool of water, he sighed: "It's not good to cry a lot."

He was distressed, in his impression, Lu Xiaoning's smile was so bright and beautiful, but recently, Lu Xiaoning's smile became less and less, and he really regretted it.

"I just feel like I'm dragging you down." Lu Xiaoning sobbed.

Li Dakang rested his elbows on the table and put his hands between his brows, as if he was doing a gesture of repentance. His voice was full of tiredness and deep self-blame: "What dragged me down? Instead, I was the one who hurt you." you."

Lu Xiaoning wiped away tears and said firmly: "I did it voluntarily, you didn't harm me."

Li Dakang seemed to have heard some funny joke, and laughed at himself: "Silly girl, why do you like me?"

Lu Xiaoning frowned incomprehensibly, as if she was afraid that Li Dakang would retreat, she said anxiously: "What reason do you need to like someone?"

Yes, what reason do you need to like someone?Just like he likes Lu Xiaoning, what is the reason?Li Dakang was obviously looking at Lu Xiaoning, but he gave the illusion that he was looking elsewhere. He pondered for a moment, his eyes burning, and said, "Xiaoning, I can't give you the life you want. I'm sorry."

"Okay, okay, change the subject, I'm sleepy!" Lu Xiaoning avoided Li Dakang's gaze, the emotion contained in those eyes was too heavy, she was most afraid of talking about these things, so she quickly changed the subject.

She stood up to pull Li Dakang, Li Dakang clasped her hand behind his back, and said obediently: "Let's go, you have a cold, go to bed early."

Li Dakang watched Lu Xiaoning slip into the bed, he tucked the corner of the quilt for Lu Xiaoning thoughtfully, he was going to get up to pour a glass of water, but Lu Xiaoning held his hand in a panic, and she asked anxiously: "Do you want to go? Can you accompany me?"

Lu Xiaoning's face was full of fear, it was a fear of being left behind, Li Dakang's heart twitched for a moment, Lu Xiaoning is such a silly girl, he sighed and explained: "I won't go, go to sleep .”

Lu Xiaoning still didn't let go of her hand when she heard the words, she said in a soft voice: "I want you to hold me."

Li Dakang's face was slightly stiff, he shook his head, stuffed Lu Xiaoning's hands back into the quilt, stroked Lu Xiaoning's hair, and said softly, "Go to sleep."
