Chatting and laughing, turning back to the setting sun
"This outfit is nice, very pretty." Chen Xiaojing, who had just changed her clothes, twirled around in front of Zhou Chenjin triumphantly. "Let's go." She walked ahead, and Chen Xiaojing, holding Zhang Renyin's hand, followed her and closed the door.
Down in the parking garage, Fu Huanian had been waiting for a long time. Seeing them in the distance, he flashed his lights a few times to signal. "Hey, what's the rush? We girls should dress up nicely before going out," Zhou Chenjin said playfully as she got into the passenger seat. "Let's go! Destination: Yunxi Ravine, let's go!"
As the car drove off, the screen next to the driver's seat displayed the navigation route. Fu Huanian turned the navigation volume down to the minimum, so that only those close to his seat could hear it.
"This is great!" Zhou Chenjin fiddled with the screen in front of the passenger seat, and loud DJ music came from the speakers on each door of the car.
"The vast horizon is my love, and flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills..." Zhou Chenjin handed her a microphone, "Let's sing karaoke, we can sing all the way."
Chen Xiaojing took it, and the car drove onto the highway. Fu Huanian stepped on the gas and accelerated, the sound of the car engine and the rhythm of the music inside the car perfectly matching.
"Ring ring..."
A phone call came through on the car's navigation screen. Zhou Chenjin knew it was work-related, so he turned off the karaoke app and let Fu Huanian answer it.
"Senior, we're not entirely sure about Professor Zhang's data here. Do you have a moment to take a look and give us some pointers so we can move on to the next steps?"
"Okay, I understand."
Fu Huanian hung up the phone and said to Chen Xiaojing, who was sitting behind him, "We're two kilometers from the next service area. Let's switch drivers."
Chen Xiaojing has the longest driving experience here and has also had experience driving independently on highways, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to drive.
After the car pulled into the service area and confirmed that none of the three people wanted to rest, Chen Xiaojing switched places with Fu Huanian. After adjusting her seat, she fastened her seatbelt and drove off.
She doesn't drive much, so she doesn't dare to go over 120 mph like Fu Huanian. She stays in the middle lane at a speed of just over 100 mph, with both hands on the steering wheel.
Fu Huanian opened his phone and started looking at the analysis data sent by his junior colleagues. Once he came to a conclusion, he switched to WeChat to send a voice message and explained it to them personally.
"My idea is that the medication applied to both locations shouldn't be to paralyze the nerves, but rather..."
Chen Xiaojing suddenly stepped on the gas and accelerated: "Hold on tight, someone might stop us." She quickly turned on her turn signal and changed lanes, speeding up to 130 km/h. "Is buying a luxury car such an easy way to attract attention?"
Fortunately, their car was in good condition and quickly left the other car far behind. They didn't encounter any obstacles until they exited the highway.
"This scenery is beautiful, Ah Jin, you actually found such a lovely place." Chen Xiaojing parked the car and walked side by side with Zhou Chenjin towards the ticket office. "You must have spent a long time researching, Manager Zhou?"
Zhou Chenjin naturally took her arm: "Of course, I searched for this place for a long time, and it has all good reviews. Everyone who has been here says it's great."
Fu Huanian and Zhang Renyin followed slowly behind: "Professor Zhang, please rest assured and take good care of your health. We will do our best to help."
He nodded.
Among the tourists at Yunxijian, most carried DSLR cameras and wore cosplay outfits. Everyone dressed up beautifully to take photos at the most popular waterfall spot. Their goal was quite clear: almost everyone headed straight there as soon as they arrived at the mountain to compete for the best shooting position.
Chen Xiaojing and Zhou Chenjin walked ahead, arriving at the waterfall scenic spot much earlier than Fu Huanian and Zhang Renyin. The cosplayer team currently filming at the scenic spot was quite large, blocking their way.
They weren't annoyed and stayed put to watch.
The red-clad youth's robes fluttered in the breeze, the ribbons on her dress billowing in a perfect arc. Beside her, the white-clad youth, elegant and refined, turned his head, his face partially obscured by a bamboo hat, his beauty beyond words.
"Don't you think that guy in the red shirt looks familiar?" Chen Xiaojing was engrossed in watching when Zhou Chenjin suddenly leaned close to her ear and asked, "Isn't that Ma Dou?"
"Hmm, it seems so." They couldn't see clearly from a distance. "Let me take a closer look when she gets closer."
The video shoot was temporarily over, and the boy in red approached them: "Oh, Xiaojing, Chenjin, you two are here too." Although the makeup was quite heavy to recreate the character, it was enough to make it clear that it was Ma Dou.
"Wow, so beautiful!" Zhou Chenjin exclaimed sincerely. "I think I've seen your account before, it's super popular."
"Hehe, I'm a social media influencer with millions of followers after all." Ma Dou chatted and laughed with them, and his cheerful and generous demeanor was captured by the photographer next to him.
With a snap, Zhou Chenjin keenly noticed: "Don't post the photo. Xiaojing isn't in the public eye right now." She specifically instructed, "But we can use it to post it on WeChat Moments."
"Of course. I'll prepare the background music and send it to you."
"good."
After saying goodbye to Ma Dou's team, the two of them glanced at the crowd and decided not to continue climbing. Instead, they chose to return the way they came and ran into Fu Huanian and Zhang Renyin not far away.
"Why are you back?"
"There are too many people up there, let's go back first," Chen Xiaojing said.
"Alright then." Fu Huanian led Zhang Renyin downstairs. "You guys go to the car first, we'll be there shortly."
The two walked for a while before getting into the car. Chen Xiaojing sat in the driver's seat, and after preparing everything for driving, Ma Dou's photo was sent over.
"Talking and laughing, turning back to see the setting sun."
The melodious singing echoed in the car, perfectly complementing their hearty laughter.
She and Zhou Chenjin exchanged a glance and silently saved the video to their phone's photo album.
