Love her deeply, the abstinent president dotes on his assistant

Chapter 18 Do you like Albizia Julibrissin?

In the afternoon, the sky was a little gloomy.

Lin Suman checked the weather forecast, which showed a thunderstorm for today. "Isn't that bad luck?"

He quickly gathered the things on his desk and went out.

She sent a message to Li Jinyu, "Boss Li, I'd like to request to start my field work an hour earlier."

Li Jinyu called: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Huangwa Island to collect some cultural characteristics of the scenic area."

"Let's go together. I'm going to Yellow Frog Island too." As he spoke, his car had already stopped in front of him.

She answered the phone happily: "Okay."

Lin Suman went forward with her bag in hand.

It was her job to drive for Li Jinyu. Since when, Li Jinyu always sat in the driver's seat.

Lin Suman knocked on the window.

Li Jinyu frowned, lowered the car window, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Why aren't you getting in the car? What are you doing standing here?"

Lin Suman blushed and said softly, "Mr. Li, how about I drive?"

Li Jinyu was silent for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Don't dawdle. Get in the car."

The car was parked in the parking lot outside Huangwa Island.

Lin Suman and Li Jinyu walked along the quiet bamboo forest road in the village. The wind blew, making a constant rustling sound, and occasionally they could hear birds singing.

Looking up, I saw a four-meter-tall Albizia Julibrissin tree. At this time, the green shade was like an open green umbrella, and the green leaves were full of Albizia Julibrissin flowers that looked like pompoms.

Lin Suman introduced the surrounding environment as she walked, but when she got here, she suddenly stopped talking.

Li Jinyu glanced at her and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"

"Do you like Albizia julibrissin?" she asked, pointing at the fiery red tree.

He looked at the blazing color, unable to tell whether he liked it or not.

She looked expectant, waiting for his answer.

For the first time, he met other people's expectations: "I like it. It's pretty good."

She pursed her lips, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and the dimples on her cheeks were particularly charming when she smiled.

She seemed to be in the mood to chat again and talked about many childhood memories.

"I remember when I was a kid, I had to pass by here on my way to school. There were no street lights then, and it got dark early in the winter. The bamboo forest was so dark and eerie that I would cry every time."

Li Jinyu recalled the experience of the power outage and teased, "So you are born timid."

Lin Suman was originally in a depressed mood, but when he smiled, she also smiled faintly.

"My grandmother later picked me up from school on crutches. One time, her eyesight wasn't good and she missed a step and broke her leg."

"After the villagers found out, they picked the time when I passed by the bamboo forest after school and picked me up to take me back to the village."

Li Jinyu didn't expect that she had such an experience as a child. He said with emotion, "The people here are simple and honest. No wonder you describe your experience here as 'happiness'."

There was a rustling sound in the bamboo forest, and suddenly a black shadow flashed by.

Li Jinyu protected Lin Suman behind him and stared at the direction where the black shadow left.

Lin Suman was startled and grabbed his arm: "What's wrong?"

Perhaps because she had just escaped death, Lin Suman was extremely sensitive and would get upset at the slightest sign of trouble.

Li Jinyu's eyes scanned the bamboo forest alertly, and he said in a deep voice, "I feel like someone is watching us."

Lin Suman also glanced towards the bamboo forest, but saw nothing: "Is it still there?"

Li Jinyu heard a slight tremor in her voice and suddenly realized that she was frightened.

He turned around to look at her and pretended to be relaxed: "Maybe I saw it wrong, it's okay, let's go."

Lin Suman let go of his hand, still looking nervous.

The feeling only eased a little when we walked out of the bamboo forest.

Li Jinyu tried to divert her attention and asked, "Is Huangwa Island Village ahead?"

"Yes. And Yellow Frog Island Village also has a very special tradition!"

"What tradition?" Li Jinyu was really curious this time.

Lin Suman smiled brightly. "The villagers here don't lock their doors during the day and don't lock them at night. Can you guess why?"

Li Jinyu frowned and thought, "Could it be a religious belief?"

"No." Lin Suman shook her head.

Seeing that he really couldn't guess, I told him the story.

"During the Republic of China period, there was a family with only a grandfather and a grandson left. The grandfather passed away. It was snowing heavily that day, and the orphan Jiuwa lost his keys."

"Every household closed their doors and went to bed early. He had nowhere to go, so he huddled in the firewood pile outside his house all night and froze to death."

"There was a kind-hearted old lady named Wu at the head of the village. From then on, she took the lead in not locking her doors and windows, and announced to the villagers: no matter who couldn't enter their own home, they could stay at her house."

"Over time, the villagers all followed her example, and this custom has been passed down to this day."

"Kindness is truly a choice. Villagers can either remain indifferent and indifferent, or they can choose to make amends with warm gestures."

"Choices themselves carry warmth, slowly accumulating to form local customs and present local cultural characteristics."

Most of the time, Li Jinyu listened quietly to her chattering. Although it was ordinary things, it was quite meaningful.

“Everyone thinks that cultural formation is a lofty philosophy.”

“In fact, it’s just ordinary people’s persistence and recognition of the value behind things.”

She looked up at him, her dark eyes full of smiles and extremely clear.

He curled his lips slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Great minds think alike."

The rain in June comes suddenly, with big drops hitting the ground.

"There's an ancestral hall up ahead. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain."

Li Jinyu took off his suit jacket and held it above his head.

"come over."

Lin Suman was stunned and stood there without moving.

Li Jinyu moved closer, his clothes just covering their heads. "What are you doing? Let's go."

The ancestral hall has been renovated in a solemn manner, and is clean and tidy. It is obvious that it is managed by a dedicated person.

Most of their clothes were soaked. Lin Suman was wearing a white chiffon shirt that stuck to her body, revealing her curves.

Li Jinyu looked away and wrapped his thin suit jacket around her.

There is a faint pleasant scent on the suit.

She looked at him in surprise.

His fine hair was wet and hung down on his forehead.

His eyes were solemn, sometimes like cold stars, and there were some raindrops on his handsome face.

The shirt was soaked and stuck to his muscular body. His curves were really nice and it was obvious that he worked out a lot.

It’s over, it’s over, my heart is beating so fast.

I can hardly breathe.

Lin Suman, you have been in a relationship for six years.

You are not a middle school student who is just beginning to fall in love, why are you so panicked?

A hand clasped her shoulder and shook her gently.

Lin Suman woke up as if from a dream.

She tilted her head, Li Jinyu frowned and retracted his hand, looking at her with his starry eyes full of inquiry.

"What are you thinking?"

Lin Suman whispered: "I, I didn't..."

Li Jinyu interrupted her, "The old man wants to talk to us and asks you to come into the main hall and sit down."

Lin Suman followed Li Jinyu's gesture and saw Uncle Xu standing at the threshold of the main hall, looking at the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Come in and sit down. There are towels and a hairdryer here."

Lin Suman recognized him and a smile immediately spread across her face: "Oh, it's Uncle Xu."

Li Jinyu looked at her sideways, "Do you know him?"

Lin Suman smiled and nodded.

After hearing what she said, Uncle Xu looked at her seriously and said, "Oh, it's Su Man. I haven't seen you for many years. You've grown up. Is this your boyfriend?"
