After sending Wang Qi away, Chen Huai and Wang Weicheng returned to the room and continued to discuss school affairs with Sun Xun and Zhou Yu, but they were not disturbed by the "gambling" episode.

As the sun was about to dusk, Chen Huai asked Wang Weicheng about the dinner arrangements, and Sun Xun refused: "Today I made an appointment to pay homage to a friend who died young. I was a good friend of Zhou Yu back then. When I learned that he had an accident abroad, I had never been able to help. Last time I returned and left in a hurry. This time, no matter whether I stayed in China or not, I would go to worship first..."

Chen Huai knew who Sun Xun was talking, and he pondered without saying a word.

Wang Weicheng and Sun Xun and Zhou Yu explained: "When Haiwen had an accident at the city steel plant, County Mayor Chen happened to accompany the then deputy mayor to inspect the work on the site of the city steel plant. The guardrail fell off from a high place and County Mayor Chen was accidentally injured."

Zhou Qian never knew the details of these matters. After hearing Wang Weicheng say this, she said in surprise: "I heard that Sun Haiwen accidentally fell from a high place and injured a person-I didn't expect that it was County Mayor Chen. This world is too small, right?"

"The world is really small sometimes," Zhou Yu looked a little sad. Seeing Chen Huai pondering, he thought he didn't know what Zhou Qian said, and explained with a little emotion, "I had a relationship with Haiwen when he was in high school. Of course, I was young and uninformed at that time, and I didn't know any feelings. After going to college, I broke up. County Mayor Chen may not have expected that Zhujiang College and Huai University jointly run the school. The contact person of Huai University was actually Haiwen's lover in college. Sun Xun and I were really shocked when we knew about it. I wonder if County Mayor Chen had ever seen Qi Jinxin from Huai University?"

"It's also considered to have met twice. Qi Jinxin's sister Qi Jingyao is also the deputy director of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department. They can be considered acquaintances." There is nothing to explain, and Chen Huai could only smile bitterly at this, saying, "I also know that Wei Cheng and Sun Haiwen are very good high school classmates..."

"I heard that County Mayor Chen worked in Meixi Town before, and Haiwen's hometown was Meixi; President Zhao of Meigang and General Yang of Penghai were also close friends after Haiwen's work. I heard that they were all very familiar with County Mayor Chen - in this way, the world is really small." Sun Xun said.

Chen Huai nodded, feeling confused:

For others, Sun Haiwen's world has passed away and has fallen apart; for him, his soul and his life are closely related to the world that has passed away in the eyes of others. As long as he is still there, the world that has passed away in the eyes of others will never disappear.

It is rare to see Chen Huai have a silent moment. Wang Weicheng continued to say to him: "President Yang of Penghai is not in Donghua, but Mr. Zhao called in the morning and agreed to accompany Sun Xun and Zhou Yu to Haiwen's cemetery with him..."

Penghai’s Yang always talks about Yang Haipeng, and “General Zhao” means Zhao Dong—as Sun Haiwen’s friend during his lifetime, when Sun Xun and Zhou Yu returned to China to worship Sun Haiwen, it was normal for Zhao Dong to take time out of his busy schedule to Zhang Luo.

"Oh," Chen Huai said nothing, nodded, and said to Wang Weicheng, "You will be responsible for the next schedule of Professor Sun and Zhou Yu, on behalf of me, the county..."

Chen Huai, Zhang Wenquan, Wang Kangsheng said goodbye and left. After going downstairs, he asked the driver to leave first and just leave the car for him. He took out his cell phone and called Xiong Daini, hoping to meet her in the evening.

"Not tonight," Xiong Daini said in embarrassment on the other end of the phone, "Haiwen has two friends who have returned to China and agreed to go to the cemetery together later; Wang Weicheng will also arrive as arranged by Zhao Dong, and he should have dinner together at night. Otherwise, you come together too?"

Chen Huai thought it was so weird that he followed everyone to his cemetery to worship. He really didn't feel like joining in his fun and said, "Then I'll come to find you again at night..."

"What's wrong?" Xiong Daini still heard the abnormality in Chen Huai's voice on the phone and asked with concern.

"Oh, nothing," Chen Huai said with a little voice, "I heard that you still have feelings for Sun Haiwen, so I was a little jealous."

"You are really," Xiong Daini complained on the phone and said with a smile, "Then Cheng Yi comes here tomorrow, I will not leave you, and I will argue and get jealous, can you do it?"

"Okay, I'll arrange for you to meet Cheng Yi tomorrow." Chen Huai said with a smile.

"Go," Xiong Daini said coquettishly, "I have never seen you so shameless, I will ignore you."

Chen Huai told Xiong Daini that he had just met Sun Xun and Zhou Yu, and that Sun Xun and others had not returned to China to set up a drama, so that Xiong Daini had the opportunity to do their jobs.

When the driver drove over and handed the car keys to him, Chen Huai did not rush into the car, but stood by the roadside and lit a cigarette. In the evening of the sunset, he was immersed in the memories of the past, as if the rising tide made him feel like he was about to suffocate, but he could not tell him.

******************************

Wang Weicheng and Sun Xun were talking in the living room, and Zhou Qian accompanied her sister to the bedroom to see the gift her sister brought to her from abroad this time.

Zhou Yu grabbed the gift packaging; Zhou Qian entered the bedroom and saw the bright sunset in the sky.

She walked excitedly to the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the corner, trying to take a good look at the beautiful scenery. She looked down and saw Chen Huai standing by the road outside the hotel smoking. She turned around and asked her sister:

"Do you think our county magistrate feels strange?"

"Why is it strange?" Zhou Yu asked strangely.

Zhou Yu's last time he returned to China and in the next two months, he had heard too many rumors about this legendary figure. This is the first time he met today. He decided that the other party was a person with extraordinary conversation, knowledge and enthusiasm, but the deeper and more delicate impression has not yet begun to be established. He completely did not understand where the sister said the Chen Huai monster was.

After hearing her sister's question, Zhou Qian didn't know how to answer. Thinking about it carefully, her contact with the new county magistrate has been very limited over the past two or three months. The feeling she felt sensitively in her heart was also very weak. What she really wanted to say was not supported by, but there was no actual example to support it.

"That's it!" Zhou Qian said in a delicate voice.

"Then there is nothing strange about this. I don't have much contact with domestic officials, but I think officials like County Mayor Chen in China should be very rare - unlike others, it is inevitable that people feel strange." Zhou Yu said in a general way, not knowing what her sister was thinking in her sensitive heart, and asked her sister, "What's going on with Xu Zhi? Why did you break up just by breaking up? Didn't you say that your relationship was pretty good before?"

"I broke up," Zhou Qian didn't want to say too much about what happened between her and Xu Zhi. She just passed by and said, "Last time you returned to China, I was afraid of messing up your mood, so I didn't tell you. There was no way for the two to be together, so let's break up - wasn't it the case with Sun Haiwen?"

"Can this be the same?" Zhou Yu smiled angrily, "How old was that when I was in love with Sun Haiwen? At that time, I didn't know what love was. When we were friends, we just felt more emotionally intimate. When things passed, we could leave a beautiful memory in our lives, rather than a series of unrecognizable scars. How old are you now?"

"I'm not very old now?" Zhou Qiang said with her mouth, "I think I'm still a little girl who was fourteen or fifteen years old..."

"So shameless," Zhou Yu smiled and scolded his sister. "You were still tired of Haiwen when you were fourteen or five years old, and said you wanted to be Haiwen's little girlfriend. The girl's appearance of spring is like a girl. I feel shy when I think about it now. You still have the face to say this..."

"You are a girl who is pregnant with spring, and you are still a girl who is pregnant with spring. I'll tell Sun Xun to go!" Zhou Qian smiled and pinched her sister.

The two sisters had a crazy chat. Zhou Qianping lay on the bed and couldn't help but sigh and said, "It might make you laugh when you say it. Actually, I have always thought that if anyone else could think of me as the 14 or 15-year-old girl who was ignorant of the world back then, how great would it be..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qian was shocked and stared at the ceiling in a daze. After a few contacts, Shen Huai gave herself a strange feeling. Isn’t this the feeling of treating her as a 14 or 15-year-old girl?

"What's wrong? He's sharp-tongued, why did he suddenly stop talking?" Zhou Yu asked.

Zhou Qian jumped up from the bed, walked quickly to the window, looked downstairs, and saw Shen Huai looking up here. Although it was so far away, Zhou Qian could inexplicably feel the faint sadness in Shen Huai's eyes.

Zhou Qian was inexplicably panic, scaring her to hide behind...

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu walked to the windowsill at this time. When he saw Shen Huaigang pulling the car door and going into the car, he looked back at his sister sensitively and said suspiciously, "You won't be with him..."

"Where do you want to go?" Zhou Qian stopped her sister's words, knew what her sister wanted to ask worriedly, and said, "Where do you want to go? What can I have to do with him? If it weren't for your return with Sun Xun, I, a little man, wouldn't have the chance to meet the county magistrate."

Zhou Yu thought about it, after all, he was from two different worlds, and he believed that his sister didn't need to lie to him about this matter. She had met Xu Zhi before and felt that the young man was not bad, so she advised her sister: "I think Xu Zhi is not bad. If there is a conflict over trivial matters, there is no need to keep getting angry. You are really big, don't let the family worry about anything for you..."

Zhou Qian told her what happened to her and Xu Zhi during this period and asked, "Xu Zhi also came to me later and wanted to get back together; but sister, do you think I should get together with him again?"
