Chen Feng was close to death, so of course, he had no thoughts about Wu ngting, the beautiful editor.
The reason he agreed to be her guide was simply because they had t and could be considered friends.
Additionally, he was getting bored staying ho alone and wanted to get so fresh air.
Going out for fresh air was certainly more enjoyable and pleasant with a beautiful woman for company.
It was as simple as that.
But obviously, big brother and mom didn’t see it that way.
As for Wu ngting, Chen Feng also believed she couldn’t possibly be interested in a middle-aged uncle like him, asking him to be a guide was just a matter of timing, just so happened that she knew Chen Feng, a local.
He set the alarm, took a half-hour nap at ho, then got up to wash his face and went online to check out so fun places in Lin Nan County.
Although Chen Feng was a local from Lin Nan County, he was only familiar with the county town, his hotown of Qingpu Town, and two or three surrounding townships; there were still several other townships in the county he had never visited.
The farthest township from Qingpu Town would take more than half an hour to reach by car on the highway.
By the ti Chen Feng had finished his research, he had also received a call from Wu ngting.
They t at the hotel, got into the car together, and Wu ngting asked with eager interest, "Where shall we go to have fun next?"
Chen Feng countered, "How many days do you have for the trip?"
Wu ngting replied, "Two days. I have to go back the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Then Chen Feng said, "Then I can only take you to a few classic spots, since we’re pressed for ti."
"Okay, you make the arrangents."
Wu ngting seed to trust Chen Feng very much.
Following the itinerary he had found online earlier, Chen Feng first took her to a nearby seaside.
Although the weather was getting colder in the golden autumn, the sunny weather and the lingering heat made it feel quite powerful. Therefore, even with the sea breeze on the beach, it wasn’t too cold.
Chen Feng took her for bike rides on the sandy beach, took photos, and built sandcastles, both having a great ti.
In the evening, Chen Feng treated her to seafood at a seafood restaurant. This ti, Wu ngting still did not refuse to let Chen Feng pay.
Chen Feng, now with money to spare, didn’t mind a few hundred bucks.
While he was technically guiding her, Chen Feng was aware that she was accompanying him to have a good ti before he died.
At least that’s how Chen Feng felt.
The next day, Chen Feng took her to another town with mountains and scenic spots, which was a bit far from Qingpu Town, over twenty kiloters. They enjoyed climbing the mountain and watching the waterfalls imnsely.
It was past three in the afternoon when they ca down from the mountain and drove back through Qingpu, passing through the county town. On her suggestion, they went to an arcade and had a blast for over an hour.
During that ti, Chen Feng’s lucky buff seed still in effect; he won plush toys from the claw machine, usually with just two ga coins each, snagging three for her in one go. Wu ngting clapped and cheered with joy.
Finally, as more people started to gather, they decided to quit while they were ahead and left.
On the way back to Qingpu, Chen Feng drove while Wu ngting, with a beaming smile on her face, clutched the three stuffed animals and wouldn’t let go.
"I had so much fun today! I haven’t been this happy in a long ti, thank you, Brother Feng," Wu ngting said, turning her face towards Chen Feng, still smiling as she drove.
" too."
Chen Feng smiled back in response.
Then silence fell between them, and the atmosphere turned a bit awkward.
As the car approached Qingpu Town, Chen Feng suddenly said, "Let’s part ways here. We’ll et again in Xiu Zhou if there’s a chance."
Qingpu Town was located between the county town and the city district. Taking the national highway from there to the city was conveniently on the way.
Wu ngting was stunned for a mont before speaking in a lancholic tone, "I’m really tired from climbing the mountain today and don’t feel like driving."
"Alright then. I’ll take you to a guesthouse in the town to rest for the night. You can leave on your own tomorrow – I won’t co to see you off," Chen Feng said casually.
After a mont of silence, Wu ngting suddenly said, "I want to have dinner at your house, is that okay?"
Chen Feng was instantly at a loss for words.
Previously, he thought he had so kind of misunderstanding or misperception because, during the hike today, he had noticed several tis that her glances at him were sowhat off – they were definitely the looks of love.
As soone who had experienced several relationships before, Chen Feng was no stranger to that kind of look from a woman.
Later, when they had reached the ga arcade, and Chen Feng had won her several plush toys, her gaze towards him beca even more peculiar, filled with admiration but even more so with a different kind of sparkle.
Chen Feng told himself that it might just be his imagination, but he had also subconsciously started to keep his distance from her.
Hence, he had made that sowhat cold-hearted remark just now.
But then, Wu ngting directly proposed to go to his house, which almost certainly confird it – she was interested in him.
Chen Feng couldn’t help but heave a silent sigh. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was nearing death, encountering a pure beauty like Wu ngting, only a fool would reject her.
But how could he possibly pursue anything further with her now? Wouldn’t that be harming her?
The more a girl likes you and holds affections for you, the less you should bring disaster upon her.
"Your request is too unexpected, and my ho isn’t prepared. How about next ti?"
Chen Feng’s response was clearly evasive.
Yet Wu ngting was undiscouraged, pressing, "Next ti when? When you co back for the New Year?"
Chen Feng imdiately felt a headache coming on, forced a bitter smile, and said, "If I bring you ho, my family will surely get the wrong idea about us. My mom is already pressing to find another partner."
Wu ngting replied nonchalantly, "A misunderstanding might as well be a misunderstanding then."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng simply couldn’t continue. It was his fault for not thinking it through. When Wu ngting asked him yesterday whether he was married, he had casually replied that he was recently divorced.
He had assud that a woman like her could never be interested in a divorced man, let alone one several years her senior.
But now, it seed that was not the case at all.
Chen Feng certainly didn’t want to entangle further with her; it was ti to make a clean break.
So, gritting his teeth and feigning humor, Chen Feng said, "You wouldn’t happen to have fallen for this uncle, would you? I’ve just divorced, you know."
Wu ngting’s delicate oval face imdiately turned red as she stamred, "Of course... it’s not like that, don’t get wrong. I just... I just think you’re quite decent, but of course, that’s just as friends..."
Seeing her stuttering like that made Chen Feng speechless.
He wondered what about him, essentially just a middle-aged greasy man, had caught the eye of such a fresh young lady? It made no sense at all.
Could she possibly have a father complex?
"Okay, I understand. Of course, I won’t misunderstand. It’s just too rushed this ti. Let’s wait until the end of the year, when you’re off for the holidays – you can co over then. I’ll take you ho for a al," he said.
Now, he could only play for ti; after all, by then, he was probably going to be dead. With death, everything cos to an end.
"Then... alright."
After so awkwardness, Wu ngting finally agreed.
