Xiao Zheng's nerves were like radio waves, all reminding him that he could indulge himself at this moment. 。But his rationality was also telling him, if he couldn't control himself now, where would he fall into hell and what kind of whirlpool would he be trapped in? How could he face Xiao Jingyu? Would it still be possible to get along with Fang Ya in the same carefree way in the future? All of this would become unknown. 。After finally putting his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Chen Hong to rest, he could live openly and honestly. He didn't want to get lost in confusion again because of romance. 。Xiao Zheng allowed Fang Ya to lean against him. He kept his hands on the desk behind him, not touching any part of Fang Ya's body. 。
"Director Fang, I came to your room to tell you something..." 。"This isn't it..." Xiao Zheng tried his best to control himself. 。Fang Ya still smiled at him: "Not 'which'?" Xiao Zheng looked at Fang Ya and said, "Not to get so close to you. ">。Fang Ya asked, "Don't you really have any feelings for me?" Xiao Zheng said honestly: "I do" 。But I can't 。"And Fang Ya smiled again: 'Because Xiao Jingyu?' Xiao Zheng didn't think, just nodded." 。Faye said, "But now we are thousands of miles away from Jingzhou. She has no idea what we're doing." 。"After we get back, are we just going to pretend nothing happened? Wouldn't that be better?"
"Better " 。"Xiao Zheng shook his head, “I’m the kind of person who does what I do. I can’t pretend nothing happened.” 。If we were to have that kind of relationship, I'm afraid I would develop feelings for you. 。But I can't have feelings for two people at the same time. I already have feelings for Xiao Jingyu, so I can't have feelings for you anymore. 。In Fang Ya's ears, Xiao Zheng was very likely to fall in love with her, but he couldn't do so. 。Fang Ya's slender legs took a step back, separating from Xiao Zheng, and stared at him, "You, why do you have to be so clear about everything? Do you know? Water that is too clear has no fish! If you are so clear about everything, you will miss out on many wonderful things!"
Xiao Zheng gave a wry smile and said, "In the past, my life also had many unclear and ambiguous things. Life was a mess, and I didn't manage my life well." 。So, I don't want to go back to those days anymore. 。

Dear Mr. Fang,

For your kindness to me, I have no way to repay you. I will always keep you in my heart.

。"Fang Ya wasn't fazed. “I don't want you to just keep me in your heart. Between a male and female lead, there can't be only 'heart', but also 'body'. That's what 'mind and body unification' truly means.” 。I won't force you today. 。But, I believe that one day, you'll want to be with me, not just in your heart, but physically. 。Because I believe that the human heart can change. 。Sometimes, I think that if I changed my environment and my mood, it would be completely possible to think differently. 。I can wait for you. 。"
Yes, people can change easily." 。The human heart, in shape, is a relatively fixed mass of flesh, but in spirit, it is a vast and ever-changing ocean. 。To be honest, Xiao Zheng doesn't know if he will change or when he will change. All he can grasp is the present moment. 。Fang Ya had already left his body, the intense sensory stimulation temporarily severed. Xiao Zheng's heart settled slightly, and he quickly changed the subject, saying: "Minister Fang, actually that dragon-shaped, phoenix-shaped lightning occurred not in Helan Mountain, but in Liupan Mountain." 。"Fang Ya was startled and surprised. "How did you know?"
Fang Ya still believed that the lightning anomaly happened on Helan Mountain. This time, she had resolutely decided to go to Liupanshan because of her duty and didn't know that the phoenix-shaped lightning actually occurred on Liupanshan!
Xiao Zheng said, "About that photo, I asked Chief Jiang Xiaohui and Director Wang Lan, and they both confirmed it was taken on Liupanshan, not Helan Mountain." 。Fang Ya's heart leapt with joy: "Really? That's wonderful! We can both complete the task Secretary Lu assigned us and search for those magical phoenix-shaped and dragon-shaped lightning bolts." 。It's truly a win-win situation. 。Xiao Zheng had already told Fang Ya what he wanted to say, so he bid farewell: "You should get some rest early too. I'm afraid we'll have to set off early tomorrow morning." 。"Fang Yiai smiled and said, “Okay” 。Then she watched Xiao Zheng walk out of the room and close the door. 。A subtle, meaningful smile played on her lips. 。Xiao Zheng returned to the room, Ma Kai just came out of the bathroom and saw Xiao Zheng immediately asked: "Do you know where I signed up to go?" Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "To Helan Mountain?" Ma Kai crossed his arms and said, "Wrong" 。I went to Liupanshan. 。"Do you know why?" Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because Director Wang Lan also went to Liupanshan?" Ma Kai chuckled and said, "Smart! You guessed it!" 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Need to guess? You've been obsessed for the past two days." 。"Can you help me ask who's going to Liupanshan this time?"
"Do I even need to ask? I already asked Wang Lan!" Ma Kai said proudly, wiping his hair with a white towel in one hand and counting on his fingers with the other: "We have Group Leader Gu, Department Head Fang, me, you, and Jiang Xiaohui. On Ning Gan's side, they have Deputy Director Wang Lan and a driver accompanying us." 。Because we are planning to use a seven-seater Jeep SUV, Ninggan's side did not arrange for more people. Anyway, when we reach the city or county there, there will be people to greet us. 。Xiao Zheng said: "It's not about the number of people, but the quality." 。Ma Kai glanced at Xiao Zheng and said, "You speak with precision." 。。Ke Ma's leg, which he had thought would connect with Xiao Zheng, flew past empty. His balance was thrown off, and the flimsy disposable slippers on his feet sent him sliding across the floor. He landed hard with a dull thud. 。Xiao Zheng immediately went to help Ma Kai up, "Are you alright?" Ma Kai's elbow, ribs, and buttocks all ached from the fall, but he couldn't show it. After all, it was he who went to kick someone else, and now he had failed miserably! Ma Kai said, "Of course I'm fine" 。“After saying that, she huffed and puffed to dry her hair, then flopped onto the bed, rubbing her arms while texting Wang Lan.” 。That night, at almost eleven o'clock, both Xiao Zheng and Ma Kai received a text message from Wang Lan, deputy director of the Ninggan Provincial Reception Office:
“Leaders, the poverty alleviation working group visiting Liupan Mountain will depart promptly at 6:30 am tomorrow. Please get enough rest and have breakfast early. At 6:15 am, bring your personal belongings and gather in the hotel lobby.” 。Thanks everyone for your hard work. <<< 。Please feel free to contact me anytime, I am online 24/7. 。。"Xiao Zheng looked at it, if he left at 6:30 pm, he had to get up at 5:30 am." 。There isn't much time left to sleep, and I don't know why Ninggan arranged it so early. 。But it would be awkward to ask for a later time since they are so enthusiastic. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Go to sleep quickly, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow." 。"Ma Kai sighed, "Wang Lan is working too hard. She's still sending text messages and has other things to arrange. I estimate she won't be able to sleep before midnight." 。<>。Xiao Zheng said, "Then you can help her with something tomorrow. 。"Ma Kai nodded and said, "Well, tomorrow let her sit beside me. I'll lend her my shoulder, and let her take a good nap on my shoulder on the way." 。"You're not helping her, you're taking advantage of her!" Ma Kai said. "Your perspective is wrong," 。We truly admire each other and have a connection. 。"Xiao Zheng said: 'No more gossiping, go to sleep quickly.'" 。Ma Kai originally wanted to chatter on about himself and Wang Lan, but Xiao Zheng turned over and went to sleep. He had no choice. 。Early the next morning, at around 5:30 am, all the cadres who went to Liupanshan were called by the hotel phone. 。Everyone arrived at the lobby with sleepy eyes, freshened up, had breakfast, and then gathered with their luggage. 。Deputy Director Wang Lan is already waiting downstairs with the driver, and I don't know how many hours she slept tonight. 。The work at the reception desk is not easy, it's very hard, but looking at Wang Lan's face, you can't see much fatigue. 。She still greeted everyone with a smile, speaking and entertaining them with boundless energy. 。Xiao Zheng speculated that a person's current state is closely related to her past. 。Wang Lan may have been hungry and suffered when she was a child, so she probably doesn't mind the current complexities and hardships. 。On the contrary, if she were a pampered girl like He Xue who had been raised with care since childhood, she probably would have given up long ago. 。Those who went to Liupanshan got on the bus at 6:30 and started their journey. 。
Someone asked Wang Lan when the group going to Helan Mountain would depart. Wang Lan said they would leave at 8:30 sharp. 。Wang Lan explained again that Liupan Mountain and Helan Mountain are very different. The first difference is the road conditions. This trip into Liupan Mountain area, we will be passing through three cities: Xiliu City, Shanpan City, and Haotou City. 。The deeper you go into the mountains, the fewer people there are, the harder the roads are to travel, and the poorer people become. 。We set off this morning with the aim of reaching Xiliu City before lunchtime. 。This Xiliu City is the closest city to the provincial capital, Yinzhou, about 200 kilometers away. But it's a mountain road that takes five or six hours to travel, so everyone must be mentally prepared. 。Then, depending on the time and everyone's physical condition, we will decide whether to go deeper into the mountains. 。<<
Gu Zuo Zhang then asked Jiang Xiaohui: "Xiaohui Chief, where is your hometown?" Gu Cuiping was the group leader at present and could completely decide on the travel arrangements >>>。Jiang Xiaohui said: "Group Leader Gu, I'm reporting to you that my hometown is in Haitou City, which is the deepest mountainous area in Liupan Mountains." 。"Gu Cui-ping asked curiously, "Why is it called 'HaiTou Market'? Is there an ocean?"
Jiang Xiao-hui said awkwardly, "There's no sea." 。“Haitou,” the old people in our village say, means “the end of the sea.” I’ve never seen the sea. 。The people in our village have to walk over ten miles to a well for water, pulling it back with carts. 。“The fact that ancient Cuiping included all the cadres of Jiang Zhong's, who were astonished after hearing about it. In this day and age, there are still such backward places? Ancient Cuiping said: “Then let's go to your hometown.” 。"
Though Jiang Xiaohui was excited, she still said, “Group Leader Gu, my hometown is really far away, and the mountain roads are very difficult to travel.” 。"Gu Cuiping said: 'This time, our inspection team must see the most difficult areas. Otherwise, we cannot scientifically formulate poverty alleviation plans. That's settled.'" 。When Gu Cuiping said this, Xiao Zheng's heart also warmed. 。
