"Eat up, it's alright. I'll be gone for a month this time, and some fruit won't spoil even if I keep it in the fridge for half a month." Chen Feng picked up an orange and started peeling it.
“Oh, you don’t need to buy me so much anymore. Now that you can earn money, I’m not as frugal as before.”
“Sometimes when the fruit truck comes by, I buy something too. Last time the grapes were pretty good, I even bought two jin (1 kg), but they were a bit expensive, five yuan a jin.”
“If this were before, I would never have bought it no matter what. It’s only because you can make a profit that I dare to spend it,” Liu Ping said, laughing at herself.
"Buy what you need. Money is meant to be spent, isn't it?" Chen Feng said, taking a bite of an orange.
"What time are you leaving tomorrow?" Liu Ping knew he was about to depart again.
"Around five or six in the morning, we'll arrive there late at night. We'll stay overnight in the hills and set off again the next morning."
Chen Feng figured he would have to rent an excavator, so he couldn't just wait at the mine site like before.
"Okay, but there aren't many people around there, so be careful," Liu Ping advised.
"I know, it's okay." Chen Feng said nonchalantly.
After dinner, Chen Feng went to bed and got up at five o'clock in the morning to wash up.
The biggest difference Chen Feng noticed this time was that when he got up at five o'clock, he felt almost no discomfort or sleepiness, and felt refreshed.
This entry is far more powerful than I imagined.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Chen Feng packed his things and prepared to get in the car.
He's going to have to eat canned food for another month.
Lin Nian, still half asleep, opened the passenger door and got in.
"Brother, can you just lie down in the back and take me somewhere else?" Lin Nian yawned and looked at Chen Feng.
"No." Chen Feng ruthlessly rejected the request.
"Why?" Lin Nian sighed, curled up in the passenger seat.
"Because what's the difference between that and an Iveco van? I'm fucking scared." Chen Feng slowly drove the car out of the yard and onto the road in the hilly city.
Along the way, Lin Nian fell asleep almost every half hour. It was only because Chen Feng was unaffected that he was so tired.
It wasn't until after 6 p.m. that Chen Feng drove to Qiuling City, found a restaurant, and the two went in to eat.
Lin Nian got up around two or three in the afternoon. He was starving. Chen Feng didn't stop either, so the two of them just ate some bread to tide them over.
"My legs are so sore from the ride, I still feel shaky when I get out of the car," Lin Nian said, taking a deep breath as he got out.
"You keep churning, but I haven't said anything while driving all day." Chen Feng stretched, barely feeling tired.
The two entered the restaurant, ordered three dishes and two large bowls of rice, and started showing off.
"Brother, shall we go straight to that place later?" Lin Nian asked vaguely.
"No, I'll find a hotel to sleep in later," Chen Feng shook his head.
"Okay." Lin Nian nodded.
As he ate, Chen Feng hesitated, thinking of the girl who was always alone at the mine.
After thinking it over for a moment, Chen Feng made a decision. After the two finished their meal, they went out and Chen Feng went straight to a pastry shop in the hills.
"Bro, weren't we going to get a hotel room? How did we end up here?"
Lin Nian couldn't help but take a sniff; the sweet aroma of the cake could be smelled from a great distance.
A girl wearing glasses walked past them. When she overheard Lin Nian's words, she immediately widened her eyes and turned around. Her excited expression, which was almost overflowing, was as she covered her mouth.
"That's called going to a hotel to sleep, not booking a room. There are so many people here, watch your words."
"Didn't you see how that bespectacled yaoi fangirl looked at us? She practically wrote a whole novel out of her head," Chen Feng said to Lin Nian, annoyed.
"So what? It's their fault for thinking the wrong thing. It's not like we're sleeping together for the first time. We've been sleeping together for the past month." Lin Nian snorted.
The girl who had been walking away had her ears perked up so high that she became even more excited after hearing those words. She even slowed down her pace, wanting to hear if there was anything else more exciting.
"Shut up, you're just making things worse." Chen Feng couldn't stand it anymore and quickly led him into the pastry shop.
"Hello sir, what kind of pastries would you like?" The shop assistant came forward to greet Chen Feng.
"Take whatever you like to eat," Chen Feng said to Lin Nian, then went to choose a few snacks.
"Give me a box of this, and a box of this too, and two of those rainbow mini cakes, please." Chen Feng pointed to several pastries that looked delicious and asked the clerk to pack them up for him.
Lin Nian ordered one of almost everything, mainly to try it out, since these high-end pastry shops are really expensive, and he would never have been willing to eat there before.
"Hello sir, the total is two hundred and eight." The teller showed the payment code.
Although Chen Feng was rich, he couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard the number.
No wonder the decor is so luxurious, you really are expensive. They just ordered three dishes and it only cost a little over a hundred.
After carrying his things out the door, Lin Nian started eating right away in the passenger seat.
"Wow, bro, this is delicious, you have to try it." Lin Nian ate a piece, then excitedly picked up another and offered it to Chen Feng.
After all, Chen Feng is driving now, so he doesn't have his hands to eat.
Chen Feng opened his mouth to take the pastry, chewed it, and found it to be fragrant with milk and sweet with cream; it was indeed delicious.
"Is it delicious, bro?" Lin Nian chuckled.
"Delicious, but really expensive." Chen Feng stopped at the traffic light, lit a cigarette, and sighed.
"Speaking of which, why do you suddenly want some snacks? You don't usually eat these things," Lin Nian asked, quite puzzled.
"Is it possible that we couldn't afford it before?" Chen Feng turned his head and silently looked at Lin Nian.
“That makes sense…” Lin Nian nodded silently, also agreeing wholeheartedly.
"Actually, this wasn't bought for me, it was bought for someone else," Chen Feng said with a smile. He wasn't particularly fond of desserts, though.
"Who could it be Brother Zheng and his group?" Lin Nian couldn't help but guess, but the key was that they didn't know anyone in Qiuling City.
"Him? You're dreaming. That wild boar of his can't eat this bran. I'm already taking care of him by buying him a bundle of vermicelli."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng and Lin Nian both burst into laughter.
"It's for a friend. She's lonely at the mine every day, and I think she likes sweets."
Chen Feng spoke softly, the green light came on, and he shifted gears and drove forward.
Even if Lin Nian was stupid, he could sense that something was wrong. Only women like sweets, so Feng Ge was actually giving this to a girl?
Holy crap, something's up here!
Lin Nian frantically searched his mind, and finally, staring wide-eyed, he murmured to Chen Feng in shock.
