Section 11: Class Flower

  The atmosphere in the ballroom was rekindled, with hundreds of surprised and admiring eyes surrounding Zhao Guodong as he danced, making him feel like a hero for once, especially when he received the admiration of women his own age, which made him feel a little lightheaded.

  "Guo Dong, thanks to you this time!" The girl's bright eyes with a hint of indescribable flavor rotated on Zhao Guo Dong's honest face. "When did you come back?"

  "It's not about where we went, but rather that we're classmates, and it's only right for me to do this given my profession." The faint scent of perfume wafted around Zhao Guocong's nose, causing him to think deeply. He wasn't particularly good at dancing, but Tang Jin was very fond of artistic activities, which meant that Zhao Guocong had no choice but to force himself to learn how to dance, eventually mastering the three-step and four-step moves, and finally perfecting the one-step move. "I've been transferred back to the Jiangmiao Police Station."

  "What? Aren't you with the Criminal Police Unit? How did you end up back at Jiangmiao Police Station?" The girl asked in surprise, her face lifted. Her delicate skin looked even more tender under the fluorescent lights, as if it was about to radiate a layer of moisture.

  "Uh, Jiang Miao is short of people to handle cases, and my family is also here, so the bureau let me come down."

  "But it's said that the criminal police team has a great future, many people are trying to get transferred to the county town, your public security bureau is the same, right?" The girl seemed to be unable to understand Zhao Guotang's worries, "Unlike us, we'll be stuck in this mountain valley for our whole lives."

  "It's not like the county town is much better than the factory, it's just a bit bigger. The factory has everything, what's wrong with that?" Zhao Guotang said casually while carefully making way for a couple embracing and swaying slowly together.

  "It's totally different in the county town, it's much more lively, everything is available. In this factory, there are only so many people coming and going, if you want to buy something a little better, you have to go to the county town."

  Kong Yue's soft and gentle face was less than half a foot away from Zhao Guotang, her hair strands occasionally brushing against his cheek, the fragrance of shampoo directly drilling into his nostrils, her chest heaving with excitement, no longer awkward like in middle school days. With Zhao Guotang's right hand resting on her waist, the strap of her bra, separated by a thin dress, fell perfectly onto his fingertips, and an inexplicable feeling grew wildly like weeds in a spring field.

  At this time, Zhao Guo's mind suddenly popped out a sentence: The flower can be picked should be picked immediately, don't wait until there are no flowers to pick the branches!

  "That's right, but now transportation is also convenient, taking the factory bus will get you to the county town in just an hour."

  The music ended, and Zhao Guotang reluctantly put down his hands, elegantly escorting Kong Yue back to the edge of the dance floor. The woman in purple was already standing aside, and the previous introduction had let Zhao Guotang know that she was Han Dong, a new teacher at Zidi School. Her youthful charm was captivating, with a pair of braids and a round face adorned with a pair of dimples that were particularly alluring.

  The house was already very familiar with Wang Fei, and they were chatting with Han Dong, but Zhao Guoqi saw that Han Dong seemed to have no interest in Fang Wang at all. Although he looked very polite, the arrogance in his bones made even Kong Yue feel it.

  "This friend of yours seems quite arrogant." Zhao Guotang whispered in Kong Yue's ear.

  "Hmm, she's always been like that. If she doesn't think much of someone, she won't bother with them. This time it's not because of your face, she probably can't even be bothered to talk to Wang Fei and the others." Kong Yue said in a low voice.

  "Where is she from?"

  "The people in Pingchuan County Town, after graduating from Andu Normal School, were assigned here." Kong Yue smiled and said, "What's wrong, Guo Tong, you don't have a girlfriend yet, do you like her? Hmm, she seems to have a good impression of you too."

  "Haha, Kong Yue, how come you're also learning to be a matchmaker?" Zhao Guotong's courage grew, "You don't have a boyfriend either, if you want to look, it should be someone who appreciates you, after all, we are childhood sweethearts."

  "Pfft! Who's been close to you since childhood? How do you know I don't have a partner?"

  Kong Yue's face was a bit feverish, recalling that in junior high school, Zhao Guozhen seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally surrounding himself, looking like he had some meaning. However, at the time, he only wanted to take the entrance exam for the key middle school and didn't have any thoughts about this aspect. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was him who got into Jiangkou Middle School, while Kong Yue only got into Jiangmiao Middle School. Finally, Zhao Guozhen also got into the Provincial Public Security College, while Kong Yue fell short of admission.

  "Hmm, doesn't it count from elementary school classmates to junior high school?" The other person's shy appearance suddenly stimulated Zhao Guozhong's restless thoughts, and his words became even more casual. "Then what counts? Do you have to be a child bride to count?"

  "What was that?" Kong Yue finally couldn't hold back, fiercely pinching a handful of the other person's waist flesh, but her movements were very subtle, she still didn't want others to discover this little secret.

  "Haha, Kong Yue, a girl changes eighteen times when she grows up, and the more she changes, the prettier she becomes. This saying is especially true for you, no wonder you're the class beauty of our class." Zhao Guocong was also an old hand at this, and he didn't think it was excessive to praise a woman's looks in such a clichéd way.

  "What a beautiful flower, it's all you boys who are talking nonsense." Kong Yue felt a thrill of excitement in her heart, but on the surface, she was nonchalant, "Han Dong is pretty too, haven't you seen how lovely her dimples are?"

  Zhao Guotong also noticed Han Dong, that girl was indeed a bit outstanding, especially with that air of pride and nobility which added a touch of flavor. However, he understood women's hearts very well, at this time if you looked at someone else for more than a glance, it would likely invite the other person's displeasure.

  Zhao Guodong just glanced at Han Dong casually, and his gaze returned to Kong Yue, "Hmm, not bad, let's see if the house is fully furnished with Wang Fei."

  Kong Yue Zheng was somewhat regretful that he had dragged Han Dong into this, fortunately Zhao Guo Teng's gaze didn't linger on Han Dong for long. Upon hearing what Zhao Guo Teng said, Kong Yue Zheng hastily shook his head: "Han Dong has high standards, even the technician at the factory wants to be with him, but Han Dong always refuses, I'm afraid Wang Fei and Fang Zi have no hope."

  "What's she looking for in a textile mill with such high standards?" Zhao Guotang said casually.

  "You mean others can only find it in the factory?" Kong Yue was somewhat unhappy, and Zhao Guotang's words also touched her sore spot. With a single heart wanting to take the exam out of this mountain village, she didn't expect to be repeatedly frustrated by the college entrance examination, and finally returned to the factory, which became Kong Yue's eternal pain in her chest.

  "I didn't mean it that way, but the reality is like this. The factory is a relatively closed circle, and we basically have no contact with the outside world. It's also far from the county town. If she finds someone to marry, won't they end up being separated in different places?" Zhao Guotang said carelessly: "Unless you can find someone who can help her get transferred out."

  "What if Han Dong can find someone to help her transfer out?" Kong Yue said with a hint of disdain.

  "This factory and the local area are not related, it's very troublesome for a teacher to be transferred to a local school, it's not easy." Zhao Guotong had also been working for almost a year, the criminal police team had come into contact with all sorts of people, and he had gained some experience. For ordinary people, he was well aware of how difficult personnel transfers were, even within his own public security system, wanting to be transferred was harder than ascending to heaven."

  Kong Yue pouted, not saying a word. Zhao Guotang hastily changed the subject, "Alright, alright, why bother with other people's business? Kong Yue, are you doing well in the personnel department? All personnel transfers have to go through your department."

  "Hmph, can only say it's relatively easy-going. Who are we to be in charge of personnel changes? The department head and deputy department head, above them is the party committee deputy secretary in charge of personnel, I'm just a miscellaneous worker."
