Fu Xing was still cursing even after he got into the car.
Fu Xinyue was also very unhappy. She had always been popular in class, and this was the first time she had been treated so coldly.
However, she was more concerned about something else, and doubts immediately arose in her mind.
"Are you really a fan of Ruan Mingzhuo? No, why would you be a fan of her? It's really strange for a working person like you to be a fan of a high school student."
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. "You're not trying to flirt with her because she's pretty, are you?"
Fu Xing's expression changed: "Are you sick? I only started following her because she seemed quite capable during her live streams."
Fu Xinyue was furious: "Fine, you used to only ask me if I was jealous, but now you're calling me crazy. There must be something wrong with you!"
"What problem could I possibly have? I always thought he was a man! Damn it, who knew he turned out to be a woman? Maybe he even switched identities. And a talisman for 120,000 yuan? Trying to scam me out of my money? No way!" Fu Xing became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, lost in his own thoughts.
Fu Xinyue: "She used to do live streaming? She was only in high school and she was already doing live streaming? That's so low-class. Did you tip her money? Is she trying to seduce you into meeting her offline?"
She questioned him for a long time, but when Fu Xing didn't reply, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Fu Xing then came to his senses, hugged her and comforted her, "Okay, don't cry, I really didn't. I just thought her amulet was quite valuable. If we could get two and sell them, we could easily make 100,000 yuan. That way, we'd have money to rent a place."
Fu Xinyue smiled through her tears: "Really? You're so good to me, my husband."
“There’s something even better. I’ll take you out for a ride.” Fu Xing started the car. “My friend recommended a private restaurant that serves wild boar meat. It’s so delicious.”
Fu Xinyue was skeptical: "Really? How can a restaurant serve wild boar meat? It must be a lie."
Fu Xing: "Really, why would I lie to you? It's because it's a real wild boar that we need to hurry up and eat it, because there probably won't be any left after this."
Meanwhile, he was secretly thinking about whether he could get some wild boar meat to give as gifts.
Especially the company leaders... if they want a promotion, they have to put in some effort and flatter them.
The car merged into the traffic and gradually disappeared into the distance.
——
On the other side, Li Huili got into the car and handed her amulet to her husband in the driver's seat.
"This was a gift from a student. Wear it for your safety."
Old Yao looked at the triangular amulet with amusement a few times, saying with a hint of surprise, "You, a teacher, have actually started to believe in feudal superstitions."
Li Huili: "Don't throw away the students' good intentions; keep them carefully."
Old Yao: "Okay, okay, I'll keep it."
Once the car started and entered the traffic, Old Yao said, "I'll take you somewhere to eat farm-style food, authentic wild boar."
Li Huili glanced at the navigation: "What? It's so far. Can't Yunwu City satisfy your appetite anymore?"
Old Yao is a true gourmand. In his spare time, he goes around looking for good food, from small roadside eateries to Michelin three-star restaurants. He has eaten his way through almost the entire Yunwu City.
I've been traveling to towns and villages around Yunwu City lately, searching for local delicacies.
It's common for people to drive 100 or 200 kilometers just to get a bite to eat.
Old Yao: "This time it's really different. There are wild boars in the mountains over there. They've been running down the mountain a lot lately, so whenever someone catches a wild boar, the whole village will have a feast, a pig-slaughtering feast. It's really lively. To be honest, whether you get to eat it or not depends on your luck."
Li Huili jokingly remarked that her husband had no other hobbies but loved food, and she couldn't even deny him that.
The car drove for a long time, and Li Huili unknowingly fell asleep.
When I woke up, the sun was about to set, and the sky was filled with the glow of sunset.
This is a parking lot, and across the street is a quaint, old-fashioned guesthouse with a very nice view.
Li Huili opened the car door and got out, only to see someone she never expected.
"Fu Xinyue?"
Fu Xinyue originally wanted to pretend she didn't know her and leave quietly, but she couldn't avoid it. She had no choice but to turn around and greet her with a smile, "Teacher Li."
After a pause, he said proactively, "We came here to play, and we'll be heading back down the mountain soon."
"Okay." Li Huili nodded. "Be careful on the road."
Fu Xinyue urged Fu Xing to hurry up and leave, "My teacher's husband is a seasoned foodie, they must be here to eat wild boar meat too!"
Fu Xing panicked upon hearing this: "Quick, quick, quick! The village down the mountain only caught one wild boar, it's definitely not enough to go around, we have to be the first to grab it. Luckily I'm smart, I secretly ran to the kitchen to find out, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark and have to stay here to eat. The boss is really unfair, saying there's no wild boar meat, who are you trying to fool?"
The two got into the car and quickly drove away.
As Li Huili entered the guesthouse, she saw Lao Yao walking out, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly.
"You're awake? We probably won't be able to get wild boar meat, but I saw they have wild mushroom hot pot, which is very fresh, and free-range chicken, which is also quite good. How about we eat here?"
Li Huili wasn't too picky about food, so she said, "Sure."
The scenery in the mountains is quite nice, and it's not as hot as down below. A gentle mountain breeze adds to the charm.
After finishing their meal, the two decided to head back.
This time, Li Huili took over the driving. The road became increasingly desolate, surrounded by dense forests. There were no lights or people in sight, only the headlights of the car illuminating the darkness.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lao Yao suddenly sniffed, "Who's making braised pork? It smells so good."
Li Huili rolled the car window down a little wider, puzzled. "Really? I can't smell anything."
"Yes, it smells so good!" Old Yao took a deep sniff twice, his mouth watering at the aroma.
He quickly discovered that a path branched off in the woods on the right, and after passing under a bridge, he could vaguely see lights and figures moving around behind him; the aroma was coming from there.
"Is there a farmhouse inn or a village over there?" Old Yao peeked over for a closer look. "Should we go take a look?"
He was so hungry that he was practically mesmerized by the aroma of the meat.
"Didn't you already eat until you were stuffed? Can you still eat?" Li Huili had no choice but to turn the steering wheel to get onto the side road. But her eyelids twitched suddenly, and she decisively turned the steering wheel back.
"Why are you leaving?" Old Yao asked anxiously, reaching out to turn the steering wheel. "Turn around and go back."
Li Huili's palms were sweaty. "I saw someone waving at me from the road over there."
Old Yao: "What's wrong with someone waving? No, there's no one there, I don't see anyone!"
He suddenly realized what was happening, turned his head to look at the path in the night, where there were only blurry outlines of trees on both sides, and no one was there!
Li Huili's face was somewhat pale: "That person's face was as white as if he had applied powder, blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and he had no eyeballs!"
The key point is that the person had a strange smile on their lips, which instantly made people feel their scalp tingle and their hair stand on end.
This was too strange, so she decided to leave this place as soon as possible.
Old Yao didn't say anything more until the car drove past that section of road, got on the highway, and stopped at a service area. Only then did he get out of the car to take over from Li Huili.
