Chen Feng and Cheng Yuhuan returned to Lu City smoothly, with Chen Feng driving as usual, taking Cheng Yuhuan back to Lin Nan.
Along the way, Cheng Yuhuan beca much more serious. Although she chatted quite a bit with Chen Feng, it was mainly about high school and so of their classmates.
From her, Chen Feng learned many things he didn't know before, as well as the current situations of so classmates.
The two chatted seriously throughout the journey, and ti flew by. In about an hour, they arrived at Lin Nan.
Chen Feng first drove her to Yujing Hotel, where her car was still parked.
Before getting out of the car, Chen Feng asked her, "Are you planning to go directly back to Le City, or do you want to stay here a while longer?"
When Chen Feng asked this, she suddenly beca unserious again, ambiguously asking, "Do you want to stay, or do you hope I go back to Le City?"
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her, saying in an annoyed tone, "Do whatever you like."
Cheng Yuhuan chuckled and said, "Then I'll stay here."
Chen Feng said indifferently, "Fine, get out of the car then."
Cheng Yuhuan teased, "You're really sothing, can't you at least have a al with before we part ways?"
Chen Feng glared directly, saying with little tact, "Don't play that ga with . There's no point in flirting, and if you keep this up, we can't even be friends."
"Okay, okay, I give up," Cheng Yuhuan said, sowhat frustrated. "I an, I used to be the class beauty in high school. Did you never have a crush on ? Has my charm diminished so much?"
Chen Feng thought to himself, back in high school, I did have a tiny crush, but the past is in the past. You're no longer the pure, arrogant little schoolgirl but an emotionally rich pragmatist, so I respectfully decline.
"Alright, I'm in a hurry to go ho and have dinner with my family. Just get out of the car quickly."
Chen Feng straightforwardly urged her to get out of the car.
When Cheng Yuhuan heard this, she said with frustration, "Are you deliberately trying to annoy ? You know I'm alone here in Lin Nan, and my family is all in Le City, yet you talk about having dinner with your family."
"Are you getting out or not?" Chen Feng frowned at her, feeling a bit irritated. He detested long-winded won the most.
Seeing how unwelco she was, Cheng Yuhuan felt both angry and annoyed. She always received all kinds of preferential treatnt in front of other n, but with Chen Feng, she hit a wall at every turn.
She originally intended to be just a proper friend with him, but in the end, she couldn't resist trying to flirt a little, only to end up like this.
"Okay, I'm getting out. Don't be so harsh, alright? You'll end up having no friends this way."
In the end, Cheng Yuhuan chose to give in.
Over the years, she'd encountered many n, each with their own temper. When dealing with the hot-tempered ones, she certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to confront them head-on. Acting subservient and pretending to be wronged were part of her skillset.
This ti was no different. With a look of feigned sadness, she got out of the car and stood cautiously at the car door, saying, "Since you don't like joking around with you like that, I won't do it anymore. By the way, could you open the trunk for ?"
Chen Feng opened the trunk door, and Cheng Yuhuan promptly went over to fetch her suitcase. After saying, "I'm leaving, goodbye," she walked straight to the entrance of Yujing Hotel without looking back.
Seeing this, Chen Feng felt a bit guilty, reflecting that he might've been a bit too harsh earlier, unable to take a joke.
Of course, this feeling only lasted three seconds. Quickly, he put Cheng Yuhuan out of his mind and started the car, heading towards Qingpu Town.
By the ti he got ho, it was almost six in the evening, and his family was waiting for him, even though they hadn't started dinner yet.
As soon as he returned, his mom imdiately announced it was ti to eat, which made Chen Feng feel very content and accomplished.
Previously, unless he hadn't co ho for more than half a year, his family wouldn't wait for him to start dinner.
The entire family was there, except for his elder brother Chen Rui, who hadn't returned from the car wash, while everyone else was present. His two little nieces initially pestered him for gifts, but after getting scolded by Zhao Xiaolan, they quieted down and sat obediently to have dinner.
Chen Feng didn't spoil them by buying gifts again, considering he had just bought so a few days ago.
Kids should be pampered, but not spoiled or indulged.
During dinner, Chen Feng ntioned the progress of preparing the jewelry store to his parents, stating that he would check out suitable shops in Yuelou Town tomorrow.
Actually, his parents had already been observing stores in Yuelou Town these past couple of days, they just hadn't found anything suitable yet.
After a fairly lavish family dinner at ho, Chen Feng finally felt content and went to take a shower.
After erging from the shower, he picked up his phone and unsurprisingly saw several unread ssages and a missed call.
To his surprise, the call was from Zhao Zixuan.
He didn't imdiately call back but instead checked his unread WeChat ssages.
A few asked if he had returned safely from Shen City, to which Chen Feng simply replied, letting them know he was safe.
Then, Chen Feng sent a WeChat ssage to Zhao Zixuan, directly asking: [You called , what's up?]
Chen Feng was that straightforward.
It didn't take long for Zhao Zixuan to reply: [I want to hang out with you. Are you free tonight?]
Chen Feng was taken aback. He, being a guy, was straightforward enough, but he didn't expect her to be so direct too.
After a brief hesitation, Chen Feng honestly replied: [I just flew back from Shen City, quite exhausted]
[Oh, then are you free tomorrow? I'm still staying at Hongfen's house. She has to take care of her kid and work during the day, and I don't want to bother her. So, I was hoping you could show around Qingpu Town since I haven't seriously explored it yet. Could you?]
With Zhao Zixuan's request, Chen Feng found it hard to refuse. After all, they were classmates, and it was only right to offer so local hospitality when soone visits your hotown. Furthermore, she didn't intend to stay at his place but just wanted him to be her guide, leaving him with no reason to decline.
Plus, the connection to Yu Hongfen, a local who had so family ties with him, made it even harder to say no.
[Okay, contact in the morning]
Although a bit reluctant, Chen Feng agreed. After all, this is a society based on personal connections; even though he's straightforward, he isn't entirely devoid of sentint.
[Great! Thanks, old classmate, I'll contact you tomorrow]
[Alright]
Their conversation ended there.
Subsequently, Chen Feng watched TV for a while, and feeling indeed a little tired, went to bed early.
Owing to the early bedti, Chen Feng woke up at six the next morning.
Checking his phone, he found several missed calls from last night, from Qin Zhen, Cheng Yuhuan, and Ni Yuhua.
Before going to bed, he had set his phone to silent mode.
