After causing a commotion with Chi Xiang for a while, we returned to the school dormitory.
I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep due to excitement.
Suddenly, there was a car, suddenly there was four hundred thousand, and suddenly the underdog had turned things around! Of course, these weren't the main reasons; the main reason was that I realized my relationship with Liu Yiyi was getting closer and closer, and it was becoming more promising!
It’s promising!
Hehehe!
I stayed excited until around two in the morning before finally falling asleep.
The next day, I returned to the café and received a text from Liu Yiyi. She told me to prepare some warm clothes because it might be cold.
When I saw that message, I couldn't help but grin! It sounded like we were going on a trip abroad! Since it was summer in our country, where would we need warm clothes? It must be somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere!
But why hadn’t she arranged for my passport? Could it be a country with visa-on-arrival?
I couldn’t figure it out, but I was thrilled nonetheless.
In the afternoon, Chi Xiang walked into the café with a bag. "Fei Ge, as your roommate, I've decided to lend you my treasured DSLR camera that I've kept for many years. Ah, thinking about you and Liu Yiyi flying together really makes me sincerely wish you both well."
I replied, "You’re really this kind-hearted? Letting me use your precious camera?"
"Chi Xiang" grinned and handed me a DSLR camera, along with a watch. "Who told us we are buddies? Here, it's all yours."
I took the watch and the camera, saying, "Why are you giving me this watch? Is it a gift?"
"Chi Xiang" chuckled softly, "This watch has some powerful features. It's a sports waterproof watch, but look, this is the function button. Once you press it, it transforms from an ordinary watch into... a camera."
"..." I realized it was a pinhole spy camera. I glared at "Chi Xiang." "What do you mean by making me carry this?"
"Chi Xiang" immediately wrapped his arm around my neck. "Song Fei, we're good brothers, right? I think you and Liu Yiyi can never be together. Let's not even consider whether Liu Yiyi really likes you or not. Even if she does have some feelings for you now, what about her mother? What about her grandfather? They run a family business! It's one of the top hundred companies in Huaxia Nation! If Liu Yiyi were to marry you—sorry, but I have to use the word 'marry' because you'd have to move in with her family—think about it, Song Fei. You're broke and just a doctor who catches ghosts and treats illnesses. How can you support Liu Yiyi? You can't help her at all! Then all her uncles and aunts will come rushing in to divide the company. Just like that, Sihai Group could collapse because of your marriage! Do you think her grandfather would allow that to happen?"
I frowned. Although "Chi Xiang" had a point, I wasn't exactly broke; I had assets worth four hundred thousand!
I pushed "Chi Xiang" away. "Get lost with your nonsense! Our relationship has nothing to do with her grandfather. Just tell me why you're giving me this watch!"
"Chi Xiang" laughed mischievously. "I think, since you won't be able to be with Liu Yiyi anyway, why not take this opportunity to secretly snap some intimate photos? Like on the beach or in the bathroom—preferably something really private. It could be a nice memory later on. Many men regret not capturing moments with their first love when they were intimate. If they had, they could reminisce during lonely times; that feeling..."
"Giggle giggle giggle..." Zhang Yuru was already laughing uncontrollably on the side. "How shameless!"
I stood up and kicked at "Chi Xiang." This guy was too lewd! I initially thought about throwing that stupid watch at him but decided to keep it in my pocket instead.
Seeing this, "Chi Xiang" chuckled again. "Those who know how to adapt are wise!"
Zhang Yuru looked at us disdainfully. "You two are something else! It seems I really need to be cautious around you guys."
I hurriedly said, "What are you all thinking? I’m not going to take a picture of my goddess. I was just thinking, what if it could be useful? Besides, I really don’t have a watch. Anyway, I’m not taking this watch."
"……" Chi Xiang glared at me. "It’s ten thousand! You need to pay!"
"Not a chance!" I certainly wouldn’t give him any money.
I returned to my room and put the camera into my travel bag. Looking at the large bundle, I chuckled to myself, thinking that Liu Yiyi would surely be moved by me in time.
The next morning, I got up early. I called Liu Yiyi to ask where we were meeting.
Liu Yiyi was driving herself and told me to wait at the café; she would come pick me up in an hour.
I felt even more excited. It was a self-driving trip! Although we weren’t going abroad, it truly felt like a world for just the two of us. We would go to a beautiful place with clear mountains and flowing waters, listen to the birds sing, and enjoy some romantic words together. Haha! Everything was set!
This was my first time having a real girlfriend. What should I do? I felt quite nervous inside.
About an hour later, Liu Yiyi called me to say she had arrived and told me to get ready to come out.
I grinned as I grabbed my travel bag and stepped out of the café, standing at the door.
However, I didn’t see Liu Yiyi’s Jaguar.
"Song Fei! Over here!" Not far ahead, there was a luxurious minibus parked, and Liu Yiyi was waving at me from the door.
"What’s going on?" I looked at the minibus. It belonged to Sihai Group, which meant it was Liu Yiyi's company shuttle. But why was the shuttle here?
A bad feeling stirred in my gut.
Dragging my luggage, I walked over and noticed there were still many people sitting inside the bus.
I felt tears welling up as I stood next to the minibus, staring at Liu Yiyi. "Liu Yiyi, weren't you supposed to be on a road trip?"
"I am on a road trip," Liu Yiyi replied as she got out of the bus and went to open the luggage compartment.
"Then why are there so many other people?"
Liu Yiyi paused for a moment. "They're all employees from our company. I told you, I invited you to join us on this trip. Our company organized this route, and we’re using our own vehicles, so of course it's a road trip."
"You... you..." I pointed at Liu Yiyi. "Are you messing with me?"
Liu Yiyi looked at me strangely. "Song Fei, are you okay? Why would I mess with you? Seriously, hurry up and put your luggage in. I wasn't planning to go on this trip at first, but since I promised to take you along, I thought it wouldn't be good for you to go alone, so here I am." She continued, "The destination seems to be somewhere in Hunan; anyway, it's spring all year round!"
As I placed my luggage inside, it dawned on me that Liu Yiyi never intended for us to go out alone together. Her company was organizing this travel project, and she casually invited me along. I had thought it would be a private getaway for just the two of us, but instead, it turned out to be a group outing!
What a letdown!
Feeling dejected, I climbed onto the minibus.
On the bus, the one eating a Blood Bun, Zhou Ruyun, waved at me. I casually nodded in response. Then I walked to the back, where a woman greeted me. I looked over and realized it was Zhao Yin! She was the one who had been matched with a Yin Marriage and was constantly being pursued by her boyfriend.
I nodded at Zhao Yin and then glanced to the side. Zhao Yin was sitting next to a bespectacled man, holding hands with him. Upon seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh, "Congratulations, Sister Zhao! You've finally found love."
Zhao Yin smiled at my comment, "I owe it all to you! This is my boyfriend, Yuan Chao."
I shook hands with Yuan Chao, who was quite polite. "I've heard about her past from Yiyi. Thank you, Master Song Fei."
I chuckled lightly and continued walking toward the back. At that moment, Liu Yiyi called out to me, "Song Fei, why are you running away? Come here, there's a spot next to me..."
Upon hearing this, I immediately turned around, feeling a bit more balanced. It seemed Liu Yiyi still thought well of me; she knew I was shy and wouldn't dare call out to her.
Liu Yiyi was sitting in the third row and waved at me over her shoulder.
As I walked toward Liu Yiyi, before I could reach her, a man in his thirties had already taken a seat next to her.
Seeing this made me unhappy. What on earth was going on? I quickly approached them.
The man had quite a thick skin; he wore glasses and had a smile on his face. Just looking at that smile made me uncomfortable—he was the typical hypocritical type.
I stood beside the seat. Under normal circumstances, it would have been awkward for Liu Yiyi to say anything further, and I would have reluctantly walked away.
But this time, Liu Yiyi had called out to me first. No matter what, I had to muster the courage to claim that spot. Even though it wasn't the right moment and sitting next to the class beauty would make my heart race with excitement, I still needed to seize the opportunity.
"Hey, Buddy, could you move over? I’d like to sit here."
The man smiled at me and said, "You must be a friend of Liu Zong. Well, brother, I still have some things to discuss with Liu Zong. When I came to pick you up earlier, we were only halfway through our conversation. So how about you sit up front?"
I was a bit puzzled upon hearing this. It seemed this man wasn't one of Liu Yiyi's subordinates. I glanced at Liu Yiyi, who was sitting there and winked at me.
Even though it was just a single wink, I immediately understood what Liu Yiyi meant. It appeared she didn't want to sit with this man. But since she was a woman and couldn't be direct about it, she had to seek my help.
I smiled and said, "Why do you look so unfamiliar? So you're not one of Liu Yiyi's subordinates. Oh, sir, I’m really sorry. Liu Yiyi and I are usually quite busy and don’t get to meet often. We’ve been looking forward to this outing for a long time and have a lot to talk about. Besides, I brought a lot of snacks for Liu Yiyi and some gifts as well. How about this, sir? Why don’t you save the business talk for after the trip? Wouldn’t that be better?"
The man had thicker skin than I expected. He chuckled and said, "Brother, you might not understand; my business is very important. I'm in tourism development, and it's an honor for me to take Liu Zong's employees out for fun."
"You’re the tour guide?" I looked at the man in surprise. It turned out that nowadays tour guides not only had shady practices and used foul language but also had such thick skin! And as a tour guide, what gave him the confidence to pursue Liu Yiyi?
