You knock on the door

  Zheng Shuang helped Li Xiangzhang into the hotel room. After entering the hotel room, Li Xiangzhang closed the door and locked it from the inside.

  How can I still be so sober? Zheng Shuang wondered in her mind.

  Li Xiangzhang swayed over, sat down, and fell backwards with a thud. Zheng Shuang saw her three pieces of meat shaking particularly violently.

  "Zheng Shuang, you go take a bath first." said Li Xiangzhang with his eyes closed.

  "Hmm" Zheng Shuang agreed without hesitation this time. As he went upstairs, he was worked up into a sweat by Li Xiangzhang and had been looking forward to taking a refreshing shower for some time.

  Zheng Shuang entered the bathroom, cool water washing his body, he felt particularly comfortable.

  Zheng Shuang came out of the bath and found that Li Xiangzhang had already turned on the TV and was watching a soap opera.

  "Have you finished washing?"

  "Yes." Zheng Shuang replied simply, thinking in her heart: "What a redundant question, someone's out and still not done washing?"

  "I've taken a bath. You sit here and watch TV. It's comfortable sitting here." Li Xiangzhang seemed to have sobered up.

  "Uh-huh." Zheng Shuang was like an obedient child.

  Li Xiangzhang went into the bathroom and asked Zheng Shuang to bring clothes. The sound of water came up, and in Zheng Shuang's mind, three pieces of meat were swirling around.

  Zheng Shuang thought of the three piles of meat and secretly laughed in her heart. She thought, how could a man have any urge when facing such a woman?

  Zheng Shuang was thinking randomly when Li Xiangzhang called him to fetch his clothes.

  "Give me a skirt. I won't wear shorts." Zheng Shuang had no choice but to comply.

  "Give me a short-sleeved outer garment, I won't wear the thin one." Zheng Shuang still complied and didn't dare ask for the reason.

  "Shorts and small clothes put back in their original place."

  "Uh-huh." Zheng Shuang obediently put away her shorts and bra after listening, then sat back down to watch TV on this side.

  The gate opened and Li Xiangzhang walked over.

  Zheng Shuang felt the trembling of three pieces of meat.

  Li Xiangzhang sat down next to Zheng Shuang: "Zheng Shuang, don't always think about the road repair. Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done as promised. Let me tell you, when I went to apply for funding upstairs, guess how they made things difficult for me?"

  "I don't know. You tell me."

  "They made me drink! One cup of wine for 10,000 yuan! I was drunk to the point of drooling, and it took eight hours to sober up!" Li Xiangzhang said, his teeth chattering with anger.

  Zheng Shuang shivered with cold sweat, thinking in her heart that she had been bullied by others. If I asked her to do something for me, how would she treat me?

  "Don't worry, Zheng Shuang. Your project, I won't let you get drunk on. I'll have you drink milk instead, two bottles, the two bottles you bought today, did you agree?"

  "Drink milk? Both bottles are mine?" Zheng Shuang was very puzzled.

  "Right. You drink both bottles. Will you?"

  "I agreed, as long as I can fix the road, let me do whatever it takes, and drinking milk is no big deal. I'll even drink liquor," Zheng Shuang said.

  "Fine. Drink according to my conditions. I let you drink however I want you to drink."

  "Is there still much milk to drink?"

  "Of course."

  "You go ahead, I'll drink according to your way."

  "Aren't you also going to dislike me for being too fat like my husband? If I hadn't asked my dad to help him, could he have become the director of the county government office? He's really heartless. Zheng Shuang, after I've taken care of this matter for you, I'll become the head of the city government and enter his department, and I'll make him carry my bag all day!" said Li Xiangzhang fiercely.

  Zheng Shuang didn't dare respond and also didn't know how to answer.

  "Zheng Shuang, I'm asking you, don't you think I'm fat too?" The tone was softer.

  "No. Who dares. I, I have always admired you." Zheng Shuang truly admires her ability to handle things, the first word is insincere.

  "Good. You can drink milk now!" said Li Xiangzhang, lying flat on it.

  Zheng Shuang didn't dare turn around and look back; he sat there, not daring to move a single inch.

  "Didn't you hear? The road doesn't want to be repaired?" Li Xiangzhang was somewhat annoyed.

  Zheng Shuang still didn't move, but in her heart she was fiercely struggling: If she listened to him, the road could be fixed. If she didn't listen, not only would the road not be fixed, but probably nothing else would work out either. A woman, being so proactive in front of a man, yet being rejected by him, what would happen? Zheng Shuang thought about this and didn't dare to think further.

  "Zheng Shuang! Are you listening to me or not?" Li Xiangzhang sat up.

  "I'm listening." Zheng Shuang surrendered.

  "Go get a bottle of milk and I'll tell you how to drink it." Li Xiangzhang lay down again.

  Zheng Shuang held the milk and came to the front, but stood there woodenly.

  "Bring the chair over and put it in front of that one, so we can put the milk on it." Li Xiangzhang's voice became gentle again.

  Zheng Shuang did as he was told. When he fetched the milk and moved the chair, he made a great effort to avoid Li Xiangzhang's gaze, but still couldn't avoid it. That gaze seemed to be warning him.

  "Let me tell you how to drink milk. First, pour the milk into me here, don't spill it on this, then slowly drink it away, got it?" Li Xiangzhang pointed to his own heart, his voice very calm.

  Zheng Shuang didn't respond, but in her heart she was cursing: "That woman!"

  "You start!" said Li Xiangzhang, closing his eyes.

  Zheng Shuang really wanted to grab the woman above and beat her up, but he forced himself to calm down. Fix the road! Fix the road! The road must be fixed! Zheng Shuang shouted in his heart.

  Zheng Shuang opened the milk.

  Zheng Shuang looked at the woman above and felt a bit nauseous. However, in order for the mountain stronghold to have electricity, he could only comply.

  Zheng Shuang didn't dare to drip again. She was afraid of dripping onto her sleeping place.

  ……

  When there was only half a bottle of milk left, Zheng Shuang felt like vomiting, but thinking of the people in the mountain village who were still burning oil lamps, he endured it again.

  Things have come to this, Zheng Shuang couldn't give up all his previous efforts, he listened and followed Li Xiangzhang's instructions to start moving again.

  Zheng Shuang thought of the good times with Xue Er, and compared to this, he felt confused. The same thing, why did it feel so beautiful and desirable with Xue Er, but now with this powerful woman, he felt disgusted? Why did he keep vomiting again and again?

  Although Zheng Shuang was extremely unwilling in her heart, she still had to pretend to be happy. This, for Zheng Shuang, was a great insult.

  "How is my body?" The voice was gentle.

  "It's very soft and feels comfortable." Zheng Shuang still spoke reluctantly.

  ……

  The bottle of milk is finally gone.

  "Knock on the door." Li Xiangzhang said with a smile.

  Zheng Shuang climbed up, closed her eyes, thinking it was Xue Er, and tapped a few times with her fingers.

  "Please come in."

  Zheng Shuang began to move mechanically.

  The woman got unprecedented satisfaction: "Zheng Shuang, the road construction project is halfway done. If you drink another bottle of milk tonight, the project will be completed smoothly."

  "Thank you for your concern, Director Li."

  "Don't call her Li Village Head, call her Sister Li, got it?"

  "Got it, sister Li."

  "Good girl." Li Xiangzhang patted Zheng Shuang's head.

  "For dinner we'll drink red wine, romantic. You say good or not?"

  "Alright. I'm listening."

  "Take a nap, you're tired too. I also want to take a nap."

  "Hmm." Zheng Shuang replied simply.

  Before long, Li Xiangzhang started snoring.

  Zheng Shuang couldn't sleep no matter what.

  Zheng Shuang really wanted to slap himself twice and kick the woman beside him with one foot. However, Zheng Shuang just thought about it, he wouldn't do that.

  Zheng Shuang sighed and turned over.

  "Are you awake or still asleep?" Xue Er asked

  "Just woke up." Zheng Shuang said hastily.

  "I'm going to get up and cook." Xue Er said, putting away her needlework and standing up.
