Two days

later, Xing Lu returned from his business trip. I told him I had invited my sister over for dinner, which cost almost
a thousand yuan. Hearing about the dishes I had prepared, Xing Lu smiled and said, "Not bad, you're befitting a well-bred lady, you didn't embarrass yourself."

I didn't mention it was because of Xing Lu's visit to a prostitute; I simply said I wanted to hear my sister share her
experiences . I told Xing Lu about the disagreements my sister and Pan Ying had regarding love, and Xing Lu fell into deep thought, remaining silent.

I said softly, "Xing Lu, I've thought about this for a long time, but I really don't know if I can be
like my sister, following you without hesitation no matter what kind of life you choose."

Xing Lu pondered for a while, then sighed, "Huihui, I know you don't like this kind of life, and I
don't want you to force yourself. Take it slow, don't rush into a decision."

Xing Lu hesitated for a moment, "Besides, the question you asked my sister-in-law, if she could do it all over again, what would she
choose? She said she would listen to my brother, but her answer wasn't complete."

I nodded in surprise, and Xing Lu continued, "If you had asked her then: If my brother had no
objections, and you could choose, which path would you choose? You might have gotten a completely different answer."

Yes, my sister only talked about her and my brother-in-law from beginning to end, never saying what she wanted herself. I looked at Xing Lu
in a daze.

Xing Lu continued, "Back then, after my brother and sister-in-law graduated, my brother's family found them jobs at
the Ninth Nuclear Research Institute in Mianyang, Sichuan. The jobs were stable, the pay was good, and it was close to home. My sister-in-law wanted to go back. They could have
bought a villa and a car back then, and lived a very good life. But my brother wasn't content and wanted to start a business in Guangzhou. In the end, my sister-in-law
followed him. So, I don't know what she thinks now, but at that time, she was willing to go back
."

I said softly, "She's willing to go back now too." Yes, I understood. My sister-in-law didn't directly
answer the question of starting over; she said it was enough that her brother-in-law made the choice. But if she liked that kind of life,
her answer should have been to come to Guangzhou, not to follow her brother-in-law's choice.

So, my sister is indeed that kind of person—she falls in love with someone and accepts their life. And what about Xing Lu
? I asked him this question: would he and Pan Ying be like my sister and brother-in-law, following Pan Ying's choice
without regret?

But to my utter surprise, Xing Lu shook his head. I was shocked: "Xing Lu, is it really
because you enjoyed life with Pan Ying that you fell in love with her?"

Xing Lu shook his head again: "I deeply love that elfin girl, but I can't bear the thought of
married life with her. We both know we won't end up together. Even if she doesn't go abroad, we
'll eventually separate. College love doesn't need to consider anything outside of feelings, but graduation is different.
Elderly parents, family, children, work, expenses—we're so different in all these aspects. Her social class
is beyond my reach, so we tacitly agreed to only date in college. But after leaving her,
it's hard for to love someone so passionately again."

Ah, how could this be? Isn't loving someone supposed to mean going through fire and water for them? Are all those stories of selfless
love just lies? So what my sister said was true. Over the years, she hasn't seen another
person who purely loves someone and then falls in love with their life. Even Xing Lu isn't like that.

Xing Lu looked somewhat wistful: "Huihui, when the passion fades, what truly influences your feelings is
life . I want you to stay by my side, but I don't want you to regret it. I just want you to see everything clearly and make your own
decision."

I nodded, took a book, and went to the living room to be alone. I thought for a long time, until it was time to go to sleep, when I
said to Xing Lu, "I've been here for a little over a month. I want to stay for two months to see how things go. Then, whether I
like it or not, as long as I can accept your life during these two months, then I will accept it. And
as long as you want me, I will never leave you and will go anywhere with you, okay?"

Xing Lu smiled gently and hugged me tightly.

That night's sex was so sweet. I was pinned down by Xing Lu from beginning to end. This most traditional way made
Xing Lu very tired, but it allowed him to hold me even tighter. The suffocating pleasure made me want to melt into Xing Lu
's arms.

Xing Lu reached his climax; his desire was incredibly strong today. He gripped my buttocks tightly, pulling me towards
him forcefully, thrusting his penis in with all his might, panting heavily, and ejaculating with abandon. My body went
limp , and I lovingly stroked Xing Lu's face. "Xing Lu, do you really want a baby so badly, to keep me by your side
?"

The impact of the prostitute incident finally subsided, and Xing Lu quickly threw himself back into work
. I continued to stay home every day. These past few days have been pretty good. Xing Lu had a project bidding in Guangzhou, so he hadn't gone on business trips
. I fully enjoyed his time in Guangzhou, finding new ways to make love to him every day.

That afternoon, Xing Lu texted me saying he was going out drinking and socializing that night and would probably be back late, telling me
to go to sleep first. I chuckled. Was it because I had been so demanding the past few days that Xing Lu wanted an excuse to rest?

As a result, Xing Lu came back very late that night, and was brought back by a colleague named Qing Kai. When I saw Xing Lu,
who was almost unconscious, I asked him what happened with heartache. My colleague said that there was a project to bid on,
and when he invited the client to dinner, the client's leader set out 10 glasses of wine, saying that if he wanted to win the bid, he had to show sincerity. He couldn't hold his liquor,
so Xing Lu went up to drink.

I frowned and asked, "How could there be such a customer? And 10 cups of wine is only half a jin at most,
how could he get like this?"

Qing Kai seemed a little guilty: "It's a small cup, about 1 liang. This customer's leader was transferred from Gansu.
He calls those 10 cups of wine 'taking the right to toast,' you have to drink them before you can toast him. He drank too much at the beginning, and then drank
a lot more later, that's why Xing Lu passed out."

Helplessly, I asked Qing Kai to help Xing Lu to bed. I really couldn't lift Xing
Lu, who was like a lump of mud, by myself. When Qing Kai left, he told me, "Sister-in-law, if you find that Xing Lu has a fever or any other problems, remember to
call me, I'll come over immediately."

I nodded: "Brother Qing, you drank quite a bit too, go home and rest."

Back in the room, I forcefully lifted Xing Lu up and helped him take off his clothes. Xing Lu was so heavy, and after helping
him get dressed, I was covered in sweat.

Looking at Xing Lu, who was still suffering from the effects of alcohol even though she was fast asleep, a sudden thought
surged through me: I wanted Xing Lu to quit her job and come with me. The housing prices in Huizhou are only around 3000 yuan per square meter now. Xing Lu has had a high income
for so many years; her savings should be enough to buy a house. Then we wouldn't have any other necessary expenses.
My salary alone should be enough to support the two of us, even if we live a frugal life. It would be better than what we're like now.

Suddenly, I felt much better, almost proud of my willingness to sacrifice for love. I
told myself, "Huihui, you have to work hard. You'll be supporting a family in the future." With this mental suggestion,
I soon drifted off to sleep in my fantasy.

Less than an hour later, I was awakened by Xing Lu's violent coughing. When I opened my eyes, I saw her
vomiting on the bed. The smell was pungent and unpleasant—a mixture of alcohol and fermented meat
, making me want to vomit. I didn't care about anything else; I rushed over and held Xing Lu, who then
vomited a large amount on me. I habitually sleep naked next to him, wearing only my underwear,
and vomited all over my chest.

I gently patted Xing Lu's back, and seeing that he had regained consciousness and was able to sit up on his own, I hastily
wiped the filth off my body with a towel, then turned and got out of bed. I poured a glass of hot water, took a small basin back to
the bed, and had Xing Lu rinse his mouth with the water and vomit into the basin.

After vomiting, Xing Lu seemed to have regained some energy, so I helped him into the bathroom and had him sit on
a stool to wash off the filth. After we both finished washing up, I helped Xing Lu sit down to the side and started
tidying up the soiled bedding. Just then, I heard Xing Lu say behind me, "Huihui, you should go back tomorrow."

I was startled. Why did Xing Lu sound so dejected? I turned around and saw Xing Lu's face filled with dejection and
defeat: "Someone like me, how could I be worthy of liking such a good girl? How could I be worthy of you staying for me?
Huihui , I can't hurt you anymore."

I didn't cry when Xing Lu vomited on me, I didn't cry when I was cleaning up this mess, but Xing Lu's
words made me burst into tears.

I didn't say anything, quietly tidying everything up and taking it to the bathroom. I rinsed it briefly and put it in
the sink to soak. Then I wet a towel with warm water and came back to wipe Xing Lu's face, telling him not to talk nonsense while drunk.

After changing the bedding, Xing Lu hugged me tightly, as if afraid I would leave. He was incapable of
making love while drunk, but his large hands kept roughly kneading and grabbing my body. I quietly nestled in his arms, quietly
enduring or perhaps enjoying the pain Xing Lu was causing.

The next morning, when I woke up, Xing Lu had already gotten up and prepared breakfast. Looking at
Xing Lu, full of energy and seemingly fully recovered, I felt even more heartache than I had felt the night before. Xing Lu, forcing yourself
to adjust like this is just self-torture.

I hesitated for a moment, not mentioning the idea of him quitting his job and coming back to Huizhou with me.
The idea that had excited me during the night seemed absurd after waking up. How could someone as chauvinistic as Xing Lu possibly give up his career
to go to a small city like Huizhou?

Besides, I remembered Xing Lu saying that after Pan Ying got her residency in Canada, she invited him to come over, but he
refused. So how could he possibly come to Huizhou with me and let me support the family?

I forced myself not to think about that, and smiled as I asked Xing Lu, "How much is this project? It's gotten you
so drunk?"

Xing Lu shook his head. "Not particularly big, less than 5 million."

I was a little surprised. "Then why are you working so hard? You didn't get this drunk on that 20 million project in Huizhou
."

Xing Lu shook his head. "Qing Kai hasn't had a single order in six months. If I can't get this one, I won't be able to handle
the pressure and I won't be able to save him."

Oh, I see. I remembered Qing Kai's tired face last night, and felt a pang of sympathy. I asked Xing Lu,
"So, you should be able to get this project now, right?"

Xing Lu nodded. "It shouldn't be a big problem. Company H is out of the running, the other manufacturers are weak,
the technical team is leaning towards us, we wrote all the tender documents, and the leader expressed support for us yesterday. We're basically 90%
confident." I nodded and said that was good. After losing two projects to Xie Yu, I was always worried

about Xing Lu's projects . Two days later, Xing Lu told me he wouldn't be back that night; he was bidding the next morning to prepare with Qing Kai. I knew it would be like that night in Huizhou, with prices released at four or five in the morning. This time, I couldn't stay up with Xing Lu. But since it was a sure thing for the project, Xing Lu and his team shouldn't be as nervous as last time. The next day at noon, Xing Lu came back looking exhausted. I asked him how it went, and he shook his head, saying they lost to a domestic manufacturer. I was shocked. Xing Lu said that domestic technology in this field was far behind, not even reaching the level of mature commercialization. How could they lose to a domestic manufacturer? Xing Lu shook his head, saying he didn't know either. Qing Kai was trying to find out, and they should know by tonight. He finally succumbed to sleepiness and drifted off to sleep. I could only worry helplessly. The story behind this was definitely beyond my comprehension, and guessing was useless. I could only comfort myself that Xing Lu's job wouldn't be affected, but it was too cruel that the kind-faced Qing Kai was going to be laid off. Xing Lu only slept for two hours before waking up. While he was fiddling with electrical wires in the living room, I came out of the bedroom to prepare dinner. Xing Lu said no, Qing Kai would treat us to dinner that night. Even I, in my daze, could guess this was a farewell dinner, and I felt uneasy for a while. On the way to the restaurant, Xing Lu briefly explained the project to me; the problem stemmed from the leader who forced Xing Lu to drink. After three rounds of bidding, Xing Lu ultimately quoted 4.7 million, while the domestic manufacturer quoted 4.5 million. According to the technical scores from the on-site evaluation experts, Xing Lu should have won the bid. However, the government leader suddenly flew into a rage, saying that the two products were essentially the same and that state-owned assets must be protected to the greatest extent possible. In the end, the small domestic manufacturer won the bid . I asked, "What will that manufacturer's ex-factory price be?" Xing Lu smiled and said, "About 1 million to 1.2 million." I immediately understood. A 4.5 million project with a 3 million kickback—that ratio was astonishing! That corrupt official was incredibly audacious; such a person should be executed! Xing Lu shook his head dejectedly: "This intelligent control system, if unstable, could cause deaths. I didn't expect..."

"Someone actually dares to do this." Xing Lu continued with a self-deprecating laugh, "Xie Yu is right, I was too naive.
I shouldn't have come to work in the government sector."

I was terrified. I used to think corrupt officials only took bribes, but didn't necessarily do bad things. But this
was clearly embezzlement to compromise project quality. If road construction, bridge building, and skyscraper construction were done this way,
wouldn't everyone's safety be at risk?

I saw Qing Kai, and to my surprise, he looked relaxed. It was indeed a farewell dinner. Qing Kai immediately
said that Xing Lu had helped him contact Company H, but he wasn't going to go. A large low-voltage integrator had invited him to be their vice president, and he planned to go there to continue selling their products, since he still trusted
their products and technology . Xing Lu said that was fine too; the projects they had worked on before could be taken over and they could continue to cooperate. Xing Lu and Qing Kai chatted while drinking beer. I couldn't believe they had just lost a big project. Sigh, it seems my mental fortitude is much worse than theirs. I'll never listen to anything about sales again. Qingkai offered me a drink, telling me to just continue drinking juice. I laughed and said, "Brother Qing is Xing Lu's friend, how could I dare drink juice?" I took a new glass, filled it with beer, Qingkai downed it, and I drank half . From my previous meals with Director Shi in Huizhou, I roughly knew my alcohol tolerance; two ounces of baijiu or two bottles of beer wouldn't cause any major problems. Qingkai, perhaps feeling the effects of the alcohol, kept praising me, saying that young women these days, as beautiful and understanding as my girlfriend, were extremely rare, and someone who didn't get angry even after being vomited on was practically impossible to find, urging Xing Lu to cherish her. Xing Lu smiled and nodded at me. I felt a little embarrassed and annoyed; how could he bring up something like vomiting on his girlfriend? Later, Qingkai, not satisfied with bottled beer, switched to draft beer. In the end, they finally returned to the topic of the project. Qing Kai took a big gulp, slammed his large beer mug on the table, and said angrily, "That bastard, he crossed the line. I don't care that he didn't give me the project, and I admit I was stupid to be tricked by him, but he shouldn't have forced you to drink so much when he knew he was going to screw us over. That's too humiliating. That bastard crossed the line." Xing Lu picked up his glass and clinked it with Qing Kai's: "I've heard that he used to work at Renmin University, a relatively low-level department. He probably always wanted to be corrupt but never had the opportunity. Now that he finally sees something good, he's eager to take a bite. He's too bold, too greedy. Without a strong background, he wouldn't dare to play like this. He's bound to get into trouble." Qing Kai laughed: "I hope he doesn't get into trouble too soon. He's messing with me like this. How can I not take him down myself?" I saw that Qing Kai, who had always seemed like a kind uncle, was now sinister and his eyes were flashing with a fierce light . Suddenly, I felt a little scared. On the way home, I worriedly asked Xing Lu, "Qing Kai, don't hire someone to kill someone or anything. It's not worth risking your life . " Xing Lu smiled and reassured me, saying that everyone in this industry is so intelligent, why would they use such low-level methods? Xing Lu continued, "Brother Qing has been in this business for too long, he's a bit tired. Giving him some motivation is good." Unexpectedly, less than two years later, Qing Kai succeeded. Xing Lu told me that Qing Kai bribed that leader 's political enemy and set a trap for him. During the bidding for the second phase of the project, when bidding for the domestic brand integrator, with more products used than in the first phase, and a budget of 6 million, two companies bid over 1 million and one bid over 5 million. The disciplinary inspection department immediately rejected the bids. Later, an anonymous user put the recording of the leader demanding a bid of over 5 million on a USB drive and sent it to the higher-level leaders and the disciplinary committee. Now that the leader has been placed under investigation , his political enemies are digging up old dirt on the previous project, saying that according to the current audit results, there was at least 2 million yuan in corruption in that project, and it wouldn't be a problem to keep him in there for ten or eight years. Xing Lu sighed with a smile: "With this kind of intelligence, he dares to embezzle like others. Instead of going to a sauna to discuss deals , he talks in a private room in a teahouse, afraid that the recording quality won't be good, is that it?" I smiled and said: "The anger of the common people can cause two corpses to lie dead, blood to splatter five steps, and the world to be draped in mourning. Today is such a day." Then I felt so happy. The worst villain I had ever seen got his comeuppance, and I felt so relieved. But all of this happened later. At this time, Qing Kai was still in a slump, far from the glory he would later become as the general manager of the large low-voltage electrical integration company. Xing Lu had also lost three projects and looked disheveled. Perhaps he was spurred on by not being able to protect his team members, so Xing Lu worked even harder . He spent almost the entire next two weeks on business trips, and on weekends in Guangzhou, he could meet with two or three clients a day, leaving almost no time for me. However, this is for the best; it gives me ample time to calmly reflect on my relationship with Xing Lu and our future . [To be continued]
