Chapter 1609 - 1609
Liu Zhizhong felt a bit stifled. Always being silent like this, isn't it a bit unsuitable?
As for Zuo Xintong, she silently stared at the scenery outside the window, occasionally flipping through the tablet content on committee meetings and such.
Actually, some of the content isn't necessary to read; the conclusions have long been determined. Major issues are decided in small meetings, and small meetings decide major issues!
Her manner, more or less, is just a way to cover up the awkwardness of such silence, wishing for the plane to land soon.
After all, their current identities are somewhat awkward.
Zuo Xintong, the young lady of Tiandu Mansion, rightfully married Director Tang, and is his wife now.
But for Liu Zhizhong, this excellent man, her heart is filled with anticipation and helplessness.
Indeed, during such private interactions, it is admittedly… a bit embarrassing…
Liu Zhizhong really couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore.
He gently coughed, attempting to break the oppressive awkward atmosphere, but realized his voice sounded particularly abrupt in the soundproof cabin of the helicopter.
Liu Zhizhong could only take a deep breath, summon his courage, and turn to look at Zuo Xintong, trying to make his tone sound relaxed and natural: "Mayor Zuo, in these few days on Tianping Peak, you weren't lacking in any life supplies, were you?"
Zuo Xintong put down the tablet and nodded, "Mm, not lacking, you prepared very thoroughly. The cabin had everything one could need, truly took your effort, you really are thoughtful."
Liu Zhizhong smiled bitterly, saying, "Because of you, I couldn't help but be thoughtful!"
"Hehe…"
Zuo Xintong smiled bitterly, nodding, "Zhizhong, I understand your meaning, and can comprehend your feelings. Your heart has me, right?"
"How could it not? These days, I've been sick."
"Ah? What happened to you?"
Zuo Xintong's heart inexplicably twisted, instinctively, like a natural response, she began to care.
She even looked Liu Zhizhong up and down, he looked very healthy and still so handsome and elegant, no visible issue!
However, she suddenly thought of something, immediately said, "Is it your heart, did something go wrong again?"
"Not my heart, it's my soul…" Liu Zhizhong still pointed to his heart's hollow, "My soul is ill, longing deeply, needing medicine for the heart!"
"Ah… you rascal…" Zuo Xintong suddenly blushed and coquettishly rebuked, "You're teasing me, aren't you?"
Liu Zhizhong turned to look at her, his face full of affection, "Not teasing you, I just miss you, miss you very much… Director Tang is soon going back to Huitian City, right? These days, he must be having a great time, huh?"
"Please, don't talk about it, I beg you…" Zuo Xintong's expression genuinely bore a trace of pleading.
Seeing her like this, Liu Zhizhong also couldn't continue saying anything, could only focus on flying well.
The plane fell into silence again.
Zuo Xintong gently shook her head, her gaze once more cast outside the window, her voice carrying a hint of an unnoticeable sigh: "Maybe so. But more often, I feel it's ourselves, lost in each other's identities and expectations, that lose direction."
Liu Zhizhong listened, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He understood, hidden in Zuo Xintong's words were too much helplessness and anticipation, and for himself, isn't it the same?
"There's no solution, you have your marriage and helplessness. Once marriage is entangled with the interests of officialdom, happiness and joy are no longer a matter to be talked about…"
