Paper rose

Chapter 4 It's been many years since I haven't been a fairy (2)
The service lady led her to the box designated by Jian Jian, and when she opened the door, she was a little surprised. Besides Jian Jian and Xiao Wu, there was another person——Kang Jian.

"Nurse Bai, this is the first time I've seen you get dressed." Jian Jian got up to greet her, and looked at Bai Yan with admiration.

Bai Yan blushed, "I used to be so unsuitable for children?"

"Slap, slap," Jian Jian slapped himself on the cheek lightly, "I mean, it's the first time I see you wearing clothes other than nurse's uniform. The function of this clothes can't be underestimated, Nurse Bai like this Wearing it, you will immediately have a few more intellectual temperament."

"Secretary Jane," Kang Jian said suddenly, "You should call the food." He stood up and stretched out his hand to Bai Yan. I took it back.

Kang Jian's fingertips were slightly cold.

He took a look at her and politely asked her to sit down, and he naturally sat down beside her.Xiao Wu, who specially expressed his gratitude, sat in the far corner, only smiling innocently, busy pouring tea and wine.Simple and responsible for adjusting the atmosphere.

Bai Yan felt that the meal was quite easy.

When dessert was being served, Xiao Wu's cell phone rang suddenly. After listening to a few words, he looked very anxious and hung up the phone. He said that he was sorry to say that the executive mayor wanted to see the report materials on the city's investment promotion situation this quarter, and he had to go back to the office. .

Xiao Wu came here by motorcycle. After drinking some wine, Jian Jian was worried and drove him there.

As soon as the two of them left, the private room suddenly became deserted, with a sense of emptiness.

"It's raining." Kang Jian said.

Bai Yan listened attentively, there was the rustling of silkworms eating mulberry leaves outside the window, she felt a little uncomfortable.Kang Jian was not simple, even though he served her dishes thoughtfully and filled her teacup when she was empty, it still gave people a sense of superior distance.

Fortunately, there is soup and staple food after dessert, otherwise it would be really indigestion.

But the weather was not good, after dinner, Bai Yan wanted to leave, and the rain became heavier.

The car simply drove away, and there was no taxi outside Fumanlou.The two had no choice but to go back to the private room and continue to sit.The service lady has tidied up the private room, replaced the tablecloth with a new one, and brewed a new pot of tea.

"Kang Zhu, which neighborhood is your home in?" Bai Yan was simply looking for something to say.

"I'm currently staying in a government guest house temporarily. I'm not from Binjiang, and my parents are in the provincial capital." Kang Jian replied, "I came to Binjiang last fall to work, and I was in the Propaganda Department of the provincial government before."

Bai Yan snorted, "Then you've worked so hard, you're far away from home!"

"Fortunately, I'm not married anyway. It doesn't matter where I am alone. I'm not a few years older than you, so you don't need to use 'you' when you call me."

Bai Yan didn't know what to pick up, so he grinned and listened carefully, the sound of the rain became more detailed.

"Where's Nurse Bai?" Kang Jian looked at Bai Yan. Under the light, her face was like white jade, and her shallow dimples were particularly lovely.

"Me? My family is in Yun County, have you heard of it?"

Kang Jian nodded, "I have heard that it is the famous hometown of Yue Opera."

The smile on Bai Yan's face suddenly seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and Xiuli's brows were knotted, "Leader Kang, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while, I wonder if the boss has an umbrella, I live far from here Not far, I want to go first."

"I'll see you off." Kang Jian followed her and stood up.

"No more." Bai Yan was really flattered. For someone like Kang Jian, the dean would nod and bow when he saw him. She, a little nurse, would not dare to bother him.

"It's okay, I was going for a walk too."

Bai Yan opened his mouth halfway, but before he could react, Kang Jian had already walked out of the private room.When she walked to the gate, he was holding an umbrella in his hand.However, that umbrella is a little more delicate, and it is more than enough to cover the sun, but it is a bit too demanding to block the rain.

She really admired Kang Jian for having the courage to hold up that umbrella.

"Let's go!" Kang Jian raised his eyebrows.

Bai Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk under the umbrella.

The umbrella is inherently small, and the two of them have to keep a proper distance. Naturally, at most, the head can only be protected from the rain, and other parts can't be taken care of.

There is absolutely nothing romantic about walking in the rain with an unfamiliar "young dignitary".

As if being tortured, Bai Yan stared at the road to see if there was a taxi passing by.It was really strange, after walking for two stops, I didn't see a taxi.

Bai Yan withdrew her eyes desperately, took a peek at Kang Jian, and found that he had tilted an umbrella towards her, his whole body was drenched in the rain, his stiff trousers were covered with mud, his hair was sticking to his forehead wetly, looking He didn't look as cold as usual, like a college student.

My heart was hit so hard.

"This is my mobile phone number, it's not public." In front of Bai Yan's rented apartment, Kang Jian handed her a piece of paper, "Contact me more when you have time."

Bai Yan took it puzzled, watched him turn around, and hurriedly shouted: "Leader Kang, go back and take a hot bath. You'd better drink some cold medicine to prevent freezing."

Kang Jian waved his hand in the rain.

Holding the note, Bai Yan stood at the stairs for a long time, until he could no longer see Kang Jian before going upstairs.

Days are like sand in an hourglass, and a lot is sifted away little by little.In a blink of an eye, the weather was getting cooler, and a cold current hit, and the temperature in Binjiang dropped ten degrees.

Bai Yan is still busy.

One day, she went from the inpatient building to the outpatient clinic to get a patient's information. When she passed the newly built emergency building, she saw several cars parked. Man arching the camera.She glanced casually and found Kang Jian among them.

Kang Jian also saw her, their eyes met, and Bai Yan showed a professional smile.

The group continued to walk forward, Kang Jian stopped, Bai Yan blinked and walked over.

"Leader Kang, come down for inspection today!" Bai Yan asked with a smile.

Kang Jian was expressionless.

The man who was arching the camera suddenly turned the camera to them, and the hairs all over Bai Yan's body stood on end.

"Is work okay?" Kang Jian said in a businesslike tone.

"Okay... ah!" Bai Yan stammered a little nervously, with cold sweat dripping from his palms.

"Why didn't you call me?" Kang Jian moved his body to block the camera.

"I have nothing to look for you." Bai Yan said in a down-to-earth manner.

Kang Jian pursed his thin lips and turned his head without saying a word.

A few days later, this scene appeared on Binjiang News, and the hospital specially organized everyone to watch it.The dean didn't know there was such a paragraph, so he called Bai Yan to the office and asked Kang Shizhu what to say to her.

Bai Yan had nothing to report, the dean gave her a hard look and told her to go out.

However, Bai Yan's reputation became even greater now.

Liu Jing quietly pulled her aside, and asked Kang Jian if she had always been the goal of guarding herself like a jade.

Bai Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Liu Jing, you're clearly in your twenties, why are you still living in a fairy tale? No matter what kind of society it is now, people are still divided into different classes. Are people like Kang Jian in the same class as me? The idea of ​​being in a good family is a bit outdated, but don’t you think it’s true? I want to marry a civil servant, and I want to be a courteous wife who is loved by everyone, not to commit myself to be a maid for a certain leader. Don’t listen When the wind blows, it will rain randomly, staining my innocence, I will become a rotten piece of wood, and you will stay with me for the rest of my life."

Liu Jing stuck out her tongue, feeling that she was suspicious.

Within two hours of saying this, Bai Yan received a call from Kang Jian.

"Are you free tonight? There are some blockbuster films coming to the government screening room. Come and watch them!"

It was clearly a question, but in the end it became a strong affirmation.

Bai Yan pondered for a while, and replied cautiously: "I have been in the operating room three times today, and I am a little tired. Thank you, Leader Kang!"

"Relax when you're tired, I'll pick you up at eight o'clock." Kang Jian hung up the phone.

For the first time, Bai Yan lost his calm and turned around in the apartment.The phone rang exactly at eight o'clock. She stood by the window and looked down. A black car was parked downstairs.

She put on a coat and ran downstairs, wearing slippers on her feet.

Kang Jian sat in the driver's seat and looked at her.

"Leader Kang, I'm really sorry. I have to go to work early tomorrow, so I'll have to go to bed early." She brushed her hair unnaturally, hehe her frozen hands.

Kang Jian pursed his lips tightly, without showing any expression, he suddenly opened the car door, "Then come in and warm up for a while!"

Bai Yan was stunned, unable to sit in.

As soon as the door was closed, the car rushed out of the community with a whimper.Bai Yan only saw the neon lights flashing by the window, and she looked at Kang Jian uneasily.He stared straight ahead.

When the car stopped, Bai Yan vaguely saw a small forest on the outskirts of the city, and his heart was pounding.

"Bai Yan, be my girlfriend!" Kang Jian lay face down in front of the steering wheel, speaking every single word very slowly, Bai Yan couldn't even pretend to be deaf and dumb.What's more, it's too quiet around here.

In the dark night, the soft voice is clear to the ears.

"Leader Kang, you are so humorous." It was rare that Bai Yan still had a gentle smile on his face.

"I'm serious." Kang Jian turned his head, his eyes were as deep as the ocean.

"Oh, then I will answer seriously. Thank you, Leader Kang, for your kindness. I'm sorry, but I can't accept it." Bai Yan sat up straight unconsciously.

"Why?" Kang Jian frowned slightly.

Bai Yan carefully organized his words, "You and I are not suitable."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"I think being friends with you will bring pressure and grievances. I'm tired enough to go to work, and I don't want to have to tense my nerves after get off work."

Kang Jian's brain was a little stalled, and he seriously suspected that his ears had lost a certain function.

"Do you feel wronged?" After a long time, he finally squeezed out a question.

Bai Yan nodded earnestly, "Because you are the assistant to the mayor of Kang Jian, and I am Bai Yan's nurse." She is not self-deprecating, but respects reality, "We are not from the same country, and foreigners are only allowed to watch, occasionally daydream, It’s fine to have a dream, but if you want it to last forever, it’s better to be a Chinese, what do you think, Leader Kang?”

"You... How old are you this year?" Kang Jian couldn't help but ask in a sarcastic way.

Bai Yan's clear eyes sparkled, "24!"

"I thought you were 42."

"In fact, my mental age is 84." Bai Yan covered her mouth and smiled.

Kang Jian lost his voice again.

For the first time in his life, Leader Kang confessed his love and died like this.

Afterwards, he thought about it, curious and funny.

Government officials are caught in the sea of ​​Wenshanhui at every turn.The executive mayor in charge of urban construction is going to be transferred to the provincial capital to be the deputy director of the Department of Land and Resources.Now all the urban construction work was on Kang Jian's shoulders, and he was too busy.But as long as there is a moment of rest, he can't help but think of Bai Yan's serious face saying that being his girlfriend is wronged.Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing out loud. Looking up, Jian Jian and Xiao Wu stared at him as if they were aliens.

He hastily coughed and picked up his teacup in a concealed manner.

I have to admit that what Bai Yan said was right, he and she really don't belong to the same country.

At first glance, Bai Yan was a beautiful girl like jade from a small family who grew up in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Kang Jian was born in the provincial capital. His grandfather was an old general in the Beijing Military Region. His father, Kang Yunlin, is now the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Law Department. His mother, Li Xinxia, ​​is the director of the Finance Department of the Provincial Trade Union. .

Kang Jian studied in Beijing and was a top student since he was a child. After graduating from the National People's University with a master's degree, he was assigned to work in the Propaganda Department of the provincial capital.His life had been set up since he was in middle school. Kang Yunlin said that Kang Jian was mature, calm, and well-measured, and suitable for an official career, so he tried his best to train him in this direction and create opportunities for him.

In less than two years, Kang Jian was promoted to the director of a certain section of the Propaganda Department. A 28-year-old cadre at the division level is very enviable.There are Kang Yunlin's factors in it, as well as Kang Jian's own excellence and hard work.

In this year, a little accident happened to the mature and steady Kang Jian.

Everything is due to one person——Yi Tongtong.

When he was in college, Kang Jian had many admirers around him, but for some reason, none of them could touch his heart. Maybe it was due to lack of fate, or maybe he was too demanding.

The provincial capital has several sections of ancient city walls left over from the Ming Dynasty.Those sections of the ancient city wall are located in the center of the city, densely covered with scars and dilapidated, hindering the appearance of the city and affecting the overall planning of the city.Provincial leaders have launched public opinion surveys on whether to demolish these sections of the city wall more than once, and the results are dumbfounding, half to half.

Kang Jian participated in a public opinion survey, and after the results came out, he wrote an article in the provincial evening newspaper, listing the gains and losses of demolition and retention. At the end, he wrote that the long river of history flows eastward, 100 Years later, shall we leave a city that represents our era to future generations, or leave a few broken walls of the predecessors to future generations?
This article set off a huge wave in the provincial capital, and historians and architects wrote many comments.In the end, the ancient city wall was demolished, and a financial square full of the atmosphere of the times was built on the foundation.

Kang Jian has become a trendy person.The Evening News conducted an exclusive interview with him on this matter, and the reporter who interviewed was Yi Tongtong.

Yi Tongtong did not come from a major in journalism. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. She used to work as an art worker in a newspaper office. When she was busy, she occasionally appeared in interviews and wrote a few good articles. Later, she became a reporter.

The interview was held in Kang Jian's office, and when the two met, they were surprised by each other.

Yi Tongtong didn't expect Kang Jian to be so young, handsome and imposing.Kang Jian only felt that standing in front of him was an exquisite and elegant vase with thin vases, with natural carvings and hibiscus from clear water.

The four eyes met, and the two had the illusion of hitting it off, as if they had been waiting for each other for many years.

The interview went very well.

After Yi Tongtong finished writing the interview, he went to the Propaganda Department to show it to Kang Jian. Kang Jian politely invited her to dinner, and freely exchanged cell phone numbers with each other.Then, when the article was published, Kang Jian called her to thank her. Yi Tongtong said that a friend gave her two tickets to the performance of the Irish Song and Dance Troupe, but she couldn't find a friend to accompany her. Is Director Kang free tonight?

Kang Jian had to work overtime that night to write a material, but he agreed without thinking about it.

After watching the show, the two went to have supper.I always feel that there are endless topics to talk about with each other. They are very similar in many places and have a surprisingly tacit understanding.

In the early morning, Kang Jian sent Yi Tongtong back to the apartment. When we parted, Yi Tongtong didn't stand upright for some reason, and fell into his arms. , kissed her moist red lips.Yi Tongtong snorted and wrapped his arms around his neck tightly.

Naturally, the two quickly entered a period of passionate love where they did not see each other every day.

They are all familiar men and women, and within a month, the two began to live together.

Yi Tongtong seemed to be soaking in a river of honey water all day long, with a happy and pretty smile all over his face.Kang Jian has a single apartment in the provincial government, but considering the impact, the two of them usually live in Yi Tongtong's apartment.

After falling in love for more than half a year, Yi Tongtong implicitly reminded Kang Jian that she was 26, should she meet her parents.

Before Kang Jian could give her an answer, Yi Tongtong's former boyfriend from the Academy of Fine Arts returned to the provincial capital after two years of hard work in Guangzhou.He first accused Yi Tongtong of being in a hurry, and then begged her to turn around in a low voice.

Yi Tongtong looked at her boyfriend, with shoulder-length hair, feminine and handsome, with a romantic and artistic temperament, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't compare with the stern and mature Kang Jian, and told him that the old love was gone with the wind.

In desperation, the boyfriend took a barrel of gasoline and asked Kang Jian to the side of the street, saying that if he didn't cut off contact with Yi Tongtong, he would set himself on fire in front of Kang Jian.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and Kang Jian stood in the bitter cold wind, cold sweat streaming down his forehead, and his face was as white as a sheet of paper.

Yi Tongtong rushed over and fought with her boyfriend.The man was hysterical, he threw her away, unscrewed the gasoline canister, and fell on him.In desperation, Yi Tongtong had to call the police.

After the boyfriend was subdued, he was sent to a psychological clinic for treatment.

A love made in heaven that looks like a man and a woman in the eyes of others ends in tragedy: Kang Jian proposes to break up with Yi Tongtong.

From the beginning to the end of falling in love with Kang Jian, Yi Tongtong never mentioned a word of boyfriend, knowing that something was wrong, she nodded and said, "Okay!"

Although the whole incident was suppressed by Kang Yunlin in every possible way, it still had a certain impact on Kang Jian. Considering that Kang Jian needed some training, he sent Kang Jian to Binjiang City to be the Secretary of the Youth League Committee. experience!
