Dong Wenjie sat down next to Wang Qiang, leaning closer to him.
"Master Wang, how do I look?"
Wang Qiang looked at Dong Wenjie and waited a full three seconds before speaking.
"Teacher Dong, your life is enviable."
Upon hearing this, Dong Wenjie shook her head and said, "I didn't ask you to talk about my life; I asked you to evaluate me as a person."
Wang Qiang nodded and said.
"Although I haven't known you for long, I can tell that you are a good person."
Dong Wenjie was getting a little anxious and spoke directly to Wang Qiang.
"I mean, what do you think of my looks? What do you think of my figure?"
As she spoke, Dong Wenjie sat up straight and even twisted her body a couple of times!
Seeing this, Wang Qiang took a deep breath and slowly said, "Although saying this might offend you."
"But I still want to say that, given your current state, you are absolutely exceptional among your peers."
Upon hearing Wang Qiang's words, Dong Wenjie smiled.
"You're so good with words, I'm getting old."
Wang Qiang shook his head and said slowly, "That's not called getting old; it's more like maturity, which makes you more charming."
Dong Wenjie peeled an apple and handed it to Wang Qiang.
He sighed, his expression wistful.
Wang Qiang, holding the apple, asked softly, "Teacher Dong, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Dong Wenjie shook her head. "No, I just regret that we weren't born at the same age."
He kept sighing as he spoke.
Wang Qiang smiled. "So what if we're the same age?"
Dong Wenjie looked up and stared intently at Wang Qiang. "If I were your age, I would definitely pursue you without hesitation. Now I'm 40, it's too late."
Wang Qiang patted her on the shoulder. "We can still be friends, and that would be great too. Why think so much? Teacher Dong, I don't want to see you unhappy."
Dong Wenjie smiled. "When I saw you at Song Qian's house, a sentence suddenly came to mind."
"oh?"
Dong Wenjie said slowly, “A dashing young man in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse. You are very much like the prince on a white horse in my dreams when I was young.”
Wang Qiang chuckled upon hearing this, then said awkwardly, "Unfortunately, I don't have a white horse, only a beat-up tricycle."
Dong Wenjie, however, didn't seem to care and said, "What's wrong with a tricycle? A tricycle is still a vehicle. You're a car owner now, after all."
Wang Qiang smiled faintly. "Would you like to go for a drive with me?"
Dong Wenjie blinked, looked at Wang Qiang, and then nodded.
"Okay, I haven't relaxed in a long time. I feel like I've disappeared from my life. I've taken on so many roles, but I'm not myself anymore!"
She spoke with deep melancholy, saying she didn't know when she had disappeared! In her place were various versions of herself, constantly draining herself with trivial matters.
"Wait while I change my clothes."
After saying this, Dong Wenjie returned to her bedroom.
I carefully selected a striped fitted dress and put on some light makeup. Looking at myself in the mirror repeatedly, I felt like I was back to when I was 18 and just starting to fall in love.
When she appeared in front of Wang Qiang, his eyes lit up. He almost drooled.
Dong Wenjie felt a little smug watching Wang Qiang's performance. "Let's go, don't watch here anymore. If you want to watch, you can watch as much as you want."
As Wang Qiang followed behind Dong Wenjie, watching her retreating figure, several images involuntarily flashed through his mind.
Dong Wenjie walked slowly. She felt Wang Qiang's gaze and was happy. It seemed that she was still charming despite her age and could attract a handsome man like Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang followed Dong Wenjie down the elevator. They arrived at the electric tricycle.
"Isn't it a bit unfair that Teacher Dong made you ride in this car?"
Dong Wenjie shook her head and said, "This is indeed a novel experience. I have never ridden in a car like this before."
Then Dong Wenjie got into the car and asked, "Where shall we go for a drive?"
Wang Qiang thought for a moment and then said to Dong Wenjie.
"I don't know either. How about we go outside and take a walk around?"
Dong Wenjie nodded.
"Okay, then let's just go wherever we want, without a destination."
Wang Qiang turned on the car lights and, through the rearview mirror, could see Dong Wenjie. Because of her sitting posture, her skirt had slipped up to her thighs!
Only then did Wang Qiang truly appreciate the power of language; he understood the meaning of "a woman past her prime, yet still retaining her charm." Dong Wenjie perfectly exemplified this phrase.
Wang Qiang was driving on the road!
His attention was completely focused on what he saw in the rearview mirror, and he didn't notice at all that a motorcycle was following him!
Dong Wenjie looked up at the rearview mirror, then looked at herself.
She smiled, and instead of pulling her skirt down, she leaned back slightly.
This made it much clearer for Wang Qiang!
Because Wang Qiang's attention was focused on the rearview mirror, he didn't notice where he was going.
When I finally remembered, I saw that I was surrounded by a wasteland with a small grove of trees nearby. There was a small hill in the distance.
Moreover, this is a small path, and Wang Qiang doesn't know how he turned in here.
Seeing that it was pitch black all around, Dong Wenjie was a little scared and said to Wang Qiang.
"Isn't this place too remote? What if we run into bad guys?"
Wang Qiang shook his head and said it to her.
"If we encounter bad guys, I'll run away first and hand you over to them."
Upon hearing this, Dong Wenjie waved her little fists and punched Wang Qiang's chest.
"You're so mean! People are already so scared, and you still scare them."
Wang Qiang took a few steps toward the grove of trees.
"Let's walk further in. The weather is nice today. Why don't we find an open space to look at the stars together?"
Seeing that it was pitch black all around, Dong Wenjie quickly followed Wang Qiang.
"Hey, wait a minute, it's so dark here, I'm so scared."
Wang Qiang was standing there when Dong Wenjie quickly took two steps to get in front of him and grabbed his hand.
"Don't run so fast! It's dangerous here."
The two walked on, deeper and deeper into the woods, until finally they found a clearing in the middle of the grove.
You can see the stars if you look up.
Wang Qiang found a place to sit down.
Dong Wenjie stood to the side, noticing the dirt on the ground, and pulled her skirt up with her hand.
Standing next to Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang looked up at Dong Wenjie: "Can you please not stand here? I can see everything when I look up."
Dong Wenjie blushed slightly, then took a step back.
"Ugh, why are you looking at me instead of the stars?"
Wang Qiang said with a grin, "Because the stars know my heart!"
He kept glancing at Dong Wenjie as he spoke.
Dong Wenjie: "How annoying!"
Wang Qiang patted the clod of dirt next to him.
"Come sit down, otherwise you've come all this way for nothing."
