Chapter Eighty-two: Ouyang Qian

  (Collection and comments are welcome)

  Liu Siyuan was helpless and thought to himself, "Even if I really did have a mistress hidden away, what does it have to do with you, Ouyang? My real girlfriend doesn't even suspect me." But then he thought again, "If she really comes over, on the one hand, she's not familiar with this place and it's not reassuring. On the other hand, it would cause a big commotion. By tomorrow, the whole party committee would know that a young woman had gone to Liu Secretary's house at night. What kind of situation is that?"

  "Alright, wait for me at the hotel, I'll send someone to pick you up."

  Liu Siyuan didn't have a good candidate either, so in desperation, he called Zhao Guotang. After listening to the situation, the latter immediately said it was no problem and went to pick up Liu Secretary's girlfriend, and had a way to ensure that no one saw her. Liu Siyuan originally wanted to explain that she wasn't his girlfriend, but thinking about it, explaining wouldn't do any good, so he just let Zhao think whatever he wanted.

  Before Ouyang Qian arrived, he quickly finished his daily homework and called Chen Jun and Fang Xinyi. The former didn't have anything special to say, just chatting about family matters. But Fang Xinyi's words made him shocked: "Do you still remember what Xiao Yuhuan said last time about repaying your favor? Today when I was talking to her, she mentioned again that you were nominated as a county committee member, and she insisted that I ask you if she could help guarantee that you get the position as a way of repaying the favor?"

  Liu Siyuan couldn't help but ask: "What's the background of that Xiao journalist anyway? Can she really influence the municipal party committee's decisions?"

  Fang Xin Yu fell silent for a moment before speaking: "If she puts in some genuine effort, it should be possible. Even my dad would have to give her some face."

  Liu Siyuan exclaimed: "So fierce?" However, he overlooked one thing and forgot to ask her what her father's job was.

  Fang Xinyu smiled and said: "When did I ever lie? Alright, what's your final decision?"

  Liu Siyuan thought for half a day and said: "What's Xinyi's opinion?"

  "Fang Xinyu thought for a moment and said, 'I've been thinking about it all day, but I still think it's not quite right. Refusing is better than reluctantly taking the position, which may not be beneficial to your long-term development anyway. Besides, the favor of the young lady of the Xiao family is valuable, and using it on a deputy position would be a waste.'"

  Liu Siyuan was a bit reluctant to give up the title of county committee member and deputy department head, but he still trusted Fang Xinyi's opinion, so he said: "Then let's do it according to Xinyi's instructions." This made the latter laugh out loud.

  Fang Xinyu was also relieved that he could resist the temptation of being a deputy, and after laughing, he added: "Okay, I'll pass it on to Yuhan for you. Even if she doesn't go all out, just to save face for me, let her help you get one or two votes, so you can lose with dignity."

  Liu Siyuan still couldn't believe it and asked: "Is a vote or two from the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee so easy to get?"

  Fang Xinyu smiled and said: "If it's true that she needs to put in some effort to get more than half of the seven votes for you, then getting one or two votes is just a matter of a few phone calls. You can rest assured, I'll take care of her. The vote will be secured, but the favor will still be owed to her. As I said earlier, Shao Gongzhu's favors are very valuable, and using them on a county committee member would be a waste."

  Not long after hanging up Fang Xinyi's phone, Zhao Guotang brought Ouyang Qian over. Liu Siyuan noticed that his eyes were slightly strange when he left, and only then did he think that this kid hadn't had a girlfriend yet. In Beixi Town where Song Ping could be the number one beauty, it was rare to see a beauty like Ouyang Qian, and it was inevitable that some people would be infatuated. Moreover, someone else was unaware, wearing something fiery, which made Zhao Guotang even more unbearable.

  "It's so tiring to be an official and make everything seem mysterious." Ouyang Qian didn't care about these things, after Zhao Guotang left, she walked in the door and started complaining, at the same time, very unladylike, she let out a fart and sat down on his sofa, not caring that her underwear was visible to someone's eyes.

  Liu Siyuan had a bitter expression but couldn't say anything, so he pretended not to see her and didn't respond to her words. He just said: "Do you want to drink water? I'll pour you a cup."

  "No need, I'll just take a look around." Ouyang Qian said, not caring about his feelings, and started walking around the room by herself, looking around in all directions, "Huh, there's even a garden!"

  The accommodation provided by the North Creek Town Reception Center may not be comparable to a house in a big city in terms of decoration, with some rustic furniture and decorations that seem out of place in a big city. However, there are two things that cannot be compared to a big city: space and environment. His residence has three rooms and one living room, excluding the kitchen and bathroom, and outside there is a private garden of over 30 square meters. The garden is surrounded by mountains, which is far more impressive than the artificial green spaces in big cities. In his free time, Liu Siyuan would also plant grapes or other things with the help of the reception center's service staff to pass the time.

  Ouyang Qian seems to be very interested in this small garden of his, strolling out leisurely, using the dim outdoor lamp light to take a curious look around.

  "Have you ever seen a 'farmhouse' before?" Liu Siyuan followed out and laughed.

  "When I was a kid, there was also such a yard in front of my house. I remember that at that time, my grandfather often took me to plant calabazas together, and when summer came, we would pick them ourselves and eat them as a family." Ouyang Qian's expression changed from the fierce look she had earlier, and her words were filled with a rare gentleness.

  "No wonder," Liu Siyuan also became serious and said: "I was born when my parents were already in the county, so I really didn't have such a childhood."

  "It was actually the happiest back then." Ouyang Qian fell into reminiscence: "Later, as my dad's official position got bigger and bigger, probably when I was over 10 years old, we moved to the provincial city, and there wasn't such a courtyard anymore."

  Ouyang Qian's body was generally still quite petite - except for a certain part, of course. Under the dim yellow light, she looked extremely delicate and weak, which was far from her usual image. Liu Sih-yuan seemed to be somewhat moved, walking up to try to put his arms around her. Ouyang Qian murmured in agreement, leaning very obediently against him.

  "It's cold outside, come in." Liu Siyuan advised.

  Ouyang Qian nodded and followed him back into the house. Liu Siyuan hadn't been with a woman for several days since returning to Beixi Town, and as she said herself, he wouldn't miss this opportunity that was delivered to his doorstep. As soon as they entered the house, he hugged her tightly and found those red lips to kiss, Ouyang Qian struggled for a while before surrendering. Liu Siyuan easily climbed up to that usually unreachable high place and began to fondle familiarly.

  "I knew it... just as I thought..." Yu Yangqian said discontentedly after their lips parted.

  Liu Siyuan didn't think that she seemed to have no interest today, feeling a bit awkward. At this time, Ouyang Qian probably saw his disappointment and said: "Go take a bath first, then accompany me to chat for a while. If I'm in a good mood later, I'll reluctantly let you do it once."

  Liu Siyuan had no choice but to go along with her, and in the meantime, Ouyang Qian didn't bring pajamas, so she took one of his long-sleeved T-shirts and put it on as a makeshift nightgown. This familiar scene made Liu Siyuan slightly distracted for a moment, thinking of that girl he hadn't contacted for a long time.

  In an instant, it's as if I've been transported to another world. Time is indeed a butcher's knife, slicing away every second and minute with the tip of its blade.

  Two people squeezed on the bed, the TV was on, but no one was watching. Ouyang Qian leaned in his arms and whispered about her childhood memories. Liu Siyuan listened and found that she had a deep affection for her grandfather. In her childhood memories, almost more than 80% of things were with her grandfather together.

  Through her murmured narrative, Liu Siyuan felt that he had truly entered the girl's heart for the first time. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Qian, who seemed careless and heartless on the surface, actually had such a delicate side to her inner self, making him sigh at the complexity of women as creatures.

  Ouyang Qian's grandfather's way of dealing with the world seems to have had a profound impact on her, and as a result, she has never fallen into depravity. For example, she managed to remain chaste until that time when Hu Tian put her in a difficult situation, and only then did she lose her virginity to Liu Siyuan. This is simply unheard of in their official circles. Liu Siyuan once heard Zheng Gaofeng say that there are several female officials in Hanjiang City who are even more promiscuous than the men, often finding several strong men to play with, and even someone as perverted as Zheng Baozi couldn't help but look down on some of them. Moreover, after losing her virginity, she didn't become promiscuous, except for letting Liu Siyuan have his way with her a few more times, she didn't let any other man touch her. This has especially moved Liu Siyuan, making him feel that even though he still has strong feelings for Xiang Yi, he can't help but be torn between his love for Ouyang Qian. Recently, he discovered that his emotions for Ouyang Qian have surpassed what he felt for Ding Hui back then.

  However, this thread of affection for Ouyang Qian made him suddenly feel an unusually uneasy feeling in his heart, and the phrase "fish and bear's paw cannot be obtained at the same time" has been lingering in his mind.

  Liu Siyuan finally couldn't help but ask where her grandfather was now.

  "Passed away last year." Ouyang Qian sighed and her body shrank like a small animal, revealing a faint sadness on her face.
