The early winter in Handu is already a little chilling.

Since December, Handu has been drizzling intermittently. This kind of weather really makes people feel uncomfortable. Every time it rains, the temperature seems to drop twice. In late December, it feels even more cold.

After watching the movie with Qing Ruoli in his arms, Sha Zhengyang was still singing the plot.

Johnnie To's "Gun Fire" should be a very good film released this year.

Sha Zhengyang doesn’t like watching movies, this is a habit he developed in his previous life. He doesn’t like movies or TV series. He likes reading books more. Of course, he likes some documentaries and news very much.

However, Qing Ruoli likes watching movies very much, which surprised Sha Zhengyang.

In his opinion, Qing Ruoli's personality is the only way to stay at home to make a cup of coffee or tea, read books, and listen to music. Why do you like watching movies very much? And it is also a Hong Kong gangster movie.

Perhaps it is because of your own inherent thinking that limits your imagination, and not everyone will develop according to their own presumptions and predictions.

"I really didn't expect you to like this kind of movie,..." Sha Zhengyang put his hand in the pocket of the down jacket, and Qing Ruoli, wearing a short wool coat, held Sha Zhengyang's arm with gloves, and leaned slightly against Sha Zhengyang's shoulder.

Even though she was wearing a thick wool short coat, she could still feel the delicate figure of Qing Ruoha, and this girl probably wouldn't be more than 45 kilograms.

"Why can't you like it? This is the best film Johnnie To films. The plot design and camera mastery are the most perfect, and every actor's performance is perfect. I heard from my classmates that this film was very good and I called you to watch it together."

With so long dating, Sha Zhengyang felt that he and Qing Ruoli were really in love now. At least he no longer refused in his heart, nor did he lose the slightness he used to be. Gradually, this feeling began to penetrate into the bodies and hearts of the two, and also made the two slowly get together.

"The filming was really good. The part that kicked the paper ball was very interesting." Sha Zhengyang walked along, "The musical artistic conception was also very interesting, and there was room for people to slowly reminisce. It was considered the pinnacle of Hong Kong films."

Sha Zhengyang knew that Hong Kong films would soon be in a declining situation, and Johnnie To's "Gun Fire" did feel a bit like the sunset.

"Did you never like watching movies?" Qing Ruoli tilted her head, "There are two completely different feelings about reading books and watching movies. Reading books is more suitable for slowly chewing and savoring, and the most exciting thing about watching movies is to follow the rhythm. These two feelings have their own flavors."

"Well, I like to think, so I don't like being led by others. I prefer to follow my own rhythm." Sha Zhengyang said with a smile.

"Then you are so boring. Life itself should be colorful,..." Qing Ruoli pouted slightly.

Sha Zhengyang laughed silently, "I should say this to you. I think you don't like a colorful life in the past. Why did you say it to me? Or are you getting more and more used to work in the Youth League Committee and feel that life is full of sunshine?"

"It's okay." Speaking of my work, Qing Ruoli returned to peace. "It may be like this in the office. Maybe I have more contacts with my work. But if I have worked for a long time, I don't know if I still have the passion for this job."

"Why, I've only had this kind of feeling in just a few days?" Sha Zhengyang was very surprised.

"Not that, I just feel that this kind of internship work is a bit uneasy and uncomfortable, and I feel that I am not as fulfilled as teaching and educating people in school." Qing Ruoli shook his head.

"That means you have not really entered the state. I tell you, Ruo Li, every job has its meaning and purpose. I don't know how you view your own work. Maybe some jobs you think are more like programmatic processes, but you have to understand that these jobs have been gradually established after being tempered by our predecessors. If you do this, it will definitely have value and significance."

Sha Zhengyang explained patiently.

"I know, so I'm working hard to integrate into it." Qing Ruoli did not refute Sha Zhengyang's point of view, she also knew that she needed a mentality adjustment.

The two of them didn't drive and just took the bus here. Now that the movie is over, it seems that they should go and have something to eat.

"Where can I go to eat?" Sha Zhengyang looked at his watch.

After seven o'clock, it was already dark, the temperature was only a few degrees, and there were drizzling sporadically. This weather was really a good day for hot pot.

"Eat hot pot." Qing Ruola looked at Sha Zhengyang with a deep understanding.

"Let's go, get it done!" Sha Zhengyang held Qing Ruoha's slender waist with one hand.

When the hot pot soup boiled and the aroma was gushing, Sha Zhengyang poured the tripe, duck intestines, yellow throat and lunch meat without hesitation.

"You poured so much in one go, and you couldn't even get it." Qing Ruoli angrily, trying to stop it in a hurry.

"It's okay, I'm hungry, just hurry up and eat." Sha Zhengyang waved his hand, "You are so thin, are you afraid of eating too much? It's better for girls to be fatter."

"I haven't lost weight anymore, I've exceeded 90 pounds." Qing Ruoli said with a red face. When it comes to weight, the girls feel a little embarrassed.

Eating hot pot is undoubtedly the best way to have a harmonious relationship, especially when eating this kind of hot pot on a cold night, it is simply exciting.

Looking at Qing Ruoli's pretty cheeks slowly turned red with the spicy smell, and fine beads of sweat oozing out from his nose. He drank Coke in big mouthfuls, Sha Zhengyang suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was also quite cute, and even felt a little moved.

"How is your job? I feel like you are getting more relaxed during this period?" Qing Ruoli picked up a chopstick for Sha Zhengyang and put it in an oil dish.

"It's not that it's easier, but it's a little familiar. In addition, everyone has been working together for a while and they understand their respective positions and know what they do." Sha Zhengyang chewed his yellow throat, which was crispy and delicious. "Have you seen Lu Ya, have you ever seen me? I helped me a lot. She came over and Ji Guoli and I could basically let go of the work of attracting investment in the high-tech zone. At most, we will check some major projects."

"Well, Lu Ya is really a strong woman. I admire her for taking a group of people to Guangdong to negotiate with Jiangsu and Shanghai. I think a man may not be able to compare with her."

Qing Ruoli and Lu Ya are not familiar with each other, but they have met each other twice, and everyone comes from Wanzhou. This natural relationship naturally makes them feel a little close.

Lu Ya also advised Sha Zhengyang many times, saying that Qing Ruola is indeed a very suitable girl, and suggested that Sha Zhengyang consider the major marriage as soon as possible.

"Yes, my daughter may not be inferior to a man." Sha Zhengyang nodded, "She is now the assistant to the director. I have suggested to Secretary Mao, Mayor Lu to clarify her deputy director as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the next step of work. This assistant to the director is still a little bit cold."

Qing Ruoli blinked his eyes and suddenly said, "Will you say this appropriately? Will the leader feel that you are thinking that you, the assistant mayor, are a little shabby, so you borrow things to express your aspirations?"

Sha Zhengyang stared at Qing Ruoli, but he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Qing Ruoli was a little nervous and also stared at Sha Zhengyang. The two of them stared at her with big eyes.

"Ruo Li, what you said made me really speechless." After a while, Sha Zhengyang swallowed the meat balls in his mouth and gasped, "Do you think I am such a person?"

"It's not that I think it's that your words can easily cause misunderstandings from the leader." Qing Ruoli felt a little embarrassed, "You are all assistants, and you said that, what do you think in the leader's county?"

"Hmph, they think whatever they like." Sha Zhengyang raised his head proudly, "If I want anything, I will only use my work to show and prove that I can afford it. They will consider it themselves without using their mouths."

"That means that Secretary Mao and Mayor Lu know you very well?" Qing Ruoli asked with a smile, tilting his head.

"So what?" Sha Zhengyang asked back.

"This is a good thing. If the leader knows you very well, even if you know your shortcomings and weaknesses, it means that the leader takes you to heart. If the leader does not know your personalities, it means that the leader does not care much about you, and it also means that the importance is not enough."

Qing Ruoli could actually say such philosophical words. Sha Zhengyang felt a little bit like not to be arrogant for three days, and looked at the other party: "Okay, Ruoli, I underestimated you before, you are now in the state."

"Is that right? Then I underestimated myself, and I always thought I was not in the state." Qing Ruoli said with a smile.

"Are you sarcasticating me?" Sha Zhengyang immediately heard the smell.

"How dare you?" Qing Ruoli smiled sweetly.

A hot pot meal seemed to bring the relationship between the two closer. It was almost nine o'clock when I came out of the hot pot restaurant.

Although the rain stopped, the ground was still wet, and it was not suitable to walk outside. However, Sha Zhengyang and Qing Ruoli seemed to enjoy the feeling of no one staying on the street at night.

The two of them walked aimlessly with their hands in hand. Occasionally, cars were speeding past the road, and the headlights blurred the surroundings.

"Ruo Li, let's get married." As he walked, Sha Zhengyang suddenly said: "Next year."

"Ah?" Qing Ruoli seemed stunned, but was not too surprised, "Have you thought about it?"

"I never seem to say something I didn't think of." Sha Zhengyang frowned and thought for a while, "I think May Day is quite suitable."
