There’s a light rain outside, and everything is shrouded in mist.
Lying on the deck chair on the third-floor balcony, sipping afternoon tea, scrolling through the phone, occasionally looking at the misty view, it’s indescribably comfortable and pleasant.
Half of the balcony of No. 8 Villa at Red Villa Bay is covered with a transparent canopy. Initially, apart from a sowhat old small round table and a few small chairs, there was nothing here.
Recently, Wu ngting and Sun Xiaorui have been busy redecorating the space, and they managed to completely transform it. The main change is adding several layers of shelves on both sides, hanging or placing many potted plants, and on the outdoor balcony, there are several large potted plants, including two large iron trees.
Chen Feng didn’t interfere in this matter either. From the start, he gave them ten thousand dollars, letting the two of them take full responsibility for decorating No. 8 Villa, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
As a result, the two won kept busy for two days, not yet finishing everything.
Taking advantage of the rainy days, they finally had so downti and joined Chen Feng under the balcony rain canopy to relax.
Unfortunately, the only newly bought rocking chair was taken by Chen Feng, so they could only sit on the chairs, occasionally sipping tea, chatting idly about what the new ho still needed and what areas need improvent.
On the surface, their relationship remains very close, getting along smoothly without any cold shoulders.
"I think we should remove the carpet on the first floor; it’s easy to get dirty, hard to clean, and has static electricity, plus it’s getting hotter, so there’s no need to leave it. Even when it gets cold later, we still don’t need it."
Wu ngting wasn’t fond of the high-end carpet on the first floor from the start, though she didn’t initially ntion it because Chen Feng seed to like it.
But recently, the more she looked at the carpet, the less she liked it, so she couldn’t help but bring it up.
Sun Xiaorui laughed and said, "You’ll have to ask Brother Feng, he seems to like this carpet."
Hearing this, Wu ngting directly said to Chen Feng, who was lying there browsing his phone, "Brother, should we remove the carpet on the first floor?"
Chen Feng shook his head and refused, "Don’t remove it for now, the weather’s still a bit cold, and it’s nice to step on it directly without shoes. Let’s talk about it during the rainy season."
Wu ngting pouted slightly, "But the carpet looks quite dirty, it’s hard to manage, and there’s static."
"Fine. I’ve said we’ll remove it during the rainy season. Instead of worrying about the carpet, you should focus on other things. By the way, how was the concert last night?"
Chen Feng indeed liked the carpet laid downstairs, temporarily reluctant to remove it, thus he changed the topic.
Sure enough, Wu ngting was smoothly diverted, nodding with a smile, "It was great. Zhang Yuxi’s singing is impressive, she’s beautiful, and her stamina is incredible, singing and dancing for over two hours without a complaint, truly dedicated."
Chen Feng also smiled, "I didn’t know much about Zhang Yuxi, but after you went to see the concert last night, I searched her online, and she’s indeed a great beauty in the photos, though I wonder how she looks without makeup. However, she’s only twenty-four this year and has achieved so much, quite remarkable."
Wu ngting was even happier hearing this, nodding, "Yes. What I admire about her is not only her acting skills and singing ability but her hard work and determination, her positive energy in striving for success. Also, her academic achievent is quite good, graduated from the Foreign Languages Institute with a bachelor’s degree, which is much better than those stars with mostly high school diplomas. Besides, I admire her for keeping clean in the muddy waters, staying virtuous, never having scandals, and once bravely publicly denouncing a big shot in the entertainnt industry, rejecting their unspoken rules."
Listening to her praise, Chen Feng also casually complinted, "That’s truly impressive! Artists in the entertainnt industry usually lack the courage to offend these big shots."
"Indeed. So, at that ti, we young people, especially won of the sa age, admired her greatly. This ti, since she rarely performs in Xiu Zhou, I had to support her. It’s a pity you two didn’t go together. The concert was really wonderful, and the guest perforrs she invited were all big nas."
Chen Feng shook his head with a smile, "I’m long past the age of idol chasing. Besides, I never chased stars when I was young, not interested in concerts at all."
Wu ngting laughed, "That’s not good, you’re not old yet, but your ntality seems aged."
"Not chasing stars ans an aged ntality?" Chen Feng countered.
"Isn’t it? No young people don’t chase stars."
"There truly are young people who don’t chase stars. Even if they idolize soone, it shouldn’t be a celebrity from the entertainnt industry, but from other fields, like a science giant, literary master, or moral model."
"Alright, I can’t argue with you." Wu ngting rolled her eyes, "To , soone like Zhang Yuxi, a young female artist, is a model for people of the sa generation to learn from; her personal story is inspiring."
"Fine, I can’t argue with you either. Let’s not discuss this topic anymore, let’s talk about travel plans. Are you interested in going abroad? I’ve grown up without ever seeing the world outside."
Feeling restless after staying ho for so many days, combined with his improving health after a hospital check-up, Chen Feng didn’t want to continue being hobound.
Furthermore, having traveled all over the country, he wanted to explore places he hadn’t been to in the world, his heart restless for travel.
In China, all major cities were visited by him, so he planned to broaden his horizons abroad.
Wu ngting and Sun Xiaorui were naturally interested, both simultaneously asking, "Which country?"
Chen Feng had already thought it over and promptly answered, "Europe. We’ll visit Europe first then see."
"Not starting with Southeast Asia?" Wu ngting asked.
"Southeast Asia isn’t as attractive as Europe. Are you more interested in Southeast Asia?"
"Of course not. It’s just closer to Southeast Asia, a few hours’ flight. Europe is a bit far."
"A flight won’t be too far. Are you interested?"
Both won nodded in unison, and Sun Xiaorui said, "My English is quite okay, daily communication there shouldn’t be a problem."
Wu ngting also said, "My English is pretty good too."
Both won had good English skills, especially Wu ngting, who graduated from a prestigious university and had excellent spoken English.
Chen Feng smiled, "Then there’s no problem. Speaking English, you can generally communicate with locals in Europe. If not, there are real-ti translation apps on the phone, quite simple. Of course, my plan is to spend money to find a guide in the country or directly find a student over there through the internet to serve as a guide, which will make our travel easier."
