Chapter 123 - The Last Night
Chapter 123 - The Last Night
Ning Fei had been working non-stop all day and fighting intensively, so his body was already very tired. Relying on the blessing of one million points of luck, he had a fight with Duan Yunhong. It was almost noon when it was over. Ning Fei took a shower casually relying on his willpower and almost climbed back into bed. In the end, Duan Yunhong took advantage of the situation and put him back to bed, and he fell asleep right away.
Before losing consciousness, Ning Fei hooked his fingers around Duan Yunhong's collar and said, "Wake me up at four o'clock. I still have to buy supplies for the return trip..."
Duan Yunhong grabbed his fingers and seemed to say something in response. But Ning Fei had already closed his eyes and fell into a sea of dreams, and didn't hear a single word.
When Ning Fei opened his eyes again, it was dark.
Duan Yunhong was not on the bed. He was sitting on the sofa watching the tablet. Ning Fei's bag was placed next to the sofa. It had originally been thrown there randomly, but now it was placed upright. There is a desk lamp on the table next to it providing lighting, which should have been taken out from Duan Yunhong's space.
Ning Fei gradually came back to his senses from his trance and finally remembered to pick up his phone to check - it was almost eight o'clock.
"I asked you to wake me up at four o'clock, but you are not willing to help at all..." He complained as he sat up, his voice still hoarse from not being fully awake, "If I wait until later to wake up, I won't be able to buy supplies, eat, or continue sleeping. Tomorrow morning, I will have nothing, and I won't have the energy to set off. You are killing a nut with a butcher knife, how vicious, Director Duan."
"You were so tired that you didn't even hear my answer. How can four or five hours be enough for you to recover your strength?" Duan Yunhong sat still, just looking up at him, "I said at the time that it doesn't matter if you can't get up. Can't I provide you with a few days of dry food?"
"It's not that exaggerated. I recover very efficiently. And isn't eating also a way to replenish physical strength?" Ning Fei turned on the light, got out of bed, and stretched hard. "Besides, I don't want to mess up my biological clock by reversing day and night. I have to drive during the day tomorrow, so it's better for me to get up and move around, and then have a normal sleep at night."
Duan Yunhong asked: "There are so many of them, and they still want you to drive?"
"What you said is true. Since I came with their formation and their car, I should take turns driving. I don't want any special treatment." Ning Fei said as he walked to Duan Yunhong, took out a clean T-shirt and pants from his backpack, and started to change clothes in front of Duan Yunhong, "What's the difference between this and when I walked with you?"
——Compare me with them?
Duan Yunhong thought to himself, and when he saw that the marks on Ning Fei's strong waist had not disappeared, he reached out and touched it without any hesitation: "You have a good relationship with the captain of that team, Zheng Liwen?"
Ning Fei slapped his hand away and pulled the hem of his T-shirt straight, "Not bad, he's a good guy, his personal strength and organizational skills are also OK. I don't have my own combat team in Tianyue, so if I want to go out, I must be temporarily assigned to another team. Yu Zhou chose Zheng Liwen's team for me. The people under him are also very good, they have a tacit understanding among themselves, and it's easy to communicate when we work together. I like getting along with such people."
Apart from the wind and fire abilities, there isn't much else going on. Ning Feixiang.
Duan Yunhong asked again: "So, it was Yu Zhou who introduced you to each other?"
Ning Fei heard the profound meaning in his words and sneered, "Yeah. What do you want to ask? Do you want to know why Yu Zhou introduced Zheng Liwen to me? Congratulations, you guessed it right, it's what you thought."
"You know what I'm thinking?"
"You asked me about my relationship with Zheng Liwen alone. Only a fool wouldn't be able to tell you." Ning Fei tidied himself up and took out a folded bag from his backpack. "But I can tell you very clearly that although I have no obligation to be faithful to you, I will not get involved with Zheng Liwen. We can be friends, but not lovers."
Duan Yunhong said "hmm".
Seeing his calm reaction, Ning Fei raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that I am being sentimental. Director Duan should not mind how many lovers I have. Well, I will treat my question as a casual question and you will treat my answer as a casual question. We don't interfere with each other and no one can interfere with each other."
Duan Yunhong thought that it was because he knew very well that Ning Fei would never accept the person introduced by Yu Zhou.
He has a crush on Yu Zhou, so how could he possibly accept a matchmaker from his sweetheart? That's too uncomfortable.
——However, did Yu Zhou do this on purpose after talking to me?
——But Ning Fei had smoked with Zheng Liwen before...
Duan Yunhong couldn't figure out the connection between the events, but it was impossible for him to ask Yu Zhou to verify it. After all, he knew very well that even if he went to find Yu Zhou, the other party would only admit it maliciously. So this matter can only be an unsolved case.
Ning Fei saw that he was silent, thinking that what he said was right, Duan Yunhong had nothing to say. It would be boring to stand here any longer, so Ning Fei took the bag and turned to walk to the door: "Then I'll go out for a while."
Duan Yunhong came back to his senses: "Where are we going?"
"Eat and buy things." Ning Fei didn't look back, but just raised the bag and shook it, "If you want to sleep, go ahead. No need to wait."
Duan Yunhong put away his tablet: "Then I'll go with you."
Ning Fei paused: "Huh?"
The man stood up and changed his slippers: "What? I'm going to have dinner too."
"You didn't eat either?"
"without."
"Why..." Ning Fei wanted to ask him why he couldn't even have a meal when there was a lot of food in the space. But when he turned around, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of the desk lamp next to the sofa that had not been put away yet, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
——Are you waiting for me?
——Or maybe, he didn’t turn on the headlights and didn’t eat by himself because he was afraid of disturbing me?
While thinking, Duan Yunhong had already come to Ning Fei's side: "Why are you standing there? Don't you want to leave?"
Ning Fei glanced at him and decided not to ask any further questions. Duan Yunhong would definitely be stubborn if he asked him anyway. So Ning Fei turned back and said, "Walk around, try some local specialties, don't close the stall."
Duan Yunhong followed him: "We can drive there, but do you know where it is?"
"I know. I saw it clearly when I came here..."
***
The two went out together and came back together.
Ning Fei packed the dry food, fruits, etc. he bought into his bag. There were also some compressed foods in the bag, which added up to more than twice the planned return trip time, enough to provide a backup. He only bought two bottles of water. Duan Yunhong asked him if he wanted to buy some more. He said that the fleet's car would carry whole boxes of water, so he just needed to fill the two bottles in a large kettle to get by.
Speaking of cars, Duan Yunhong sat on the sofa and said casually, "I asked the car dealership in Huichuan, and they said they don't have any new Hummers for my model. I asked them to look for a black off-road vehicle, and I'll let you know when they have any news."
"Oh." Ning Fei didn't care. "Forget it if you don't have it. Just give me a discount. Yu Zhou can also match it for me."
When Duan Yunhong heard that Yu Zhou could interfere in Ning Fei's affairs again, he got angry and said, "No problem, a car is a car. If you have a new car you like in Tianyue, you can tell me and I will pay the points. Anyway, the price is about the same."
"Why, are you still afraid that I'll make money from this?" Ning Fei zipped up her bag and put it aside. "Why don't you just say you want to paint 'Sponsored by Duan Yunhong' on the car?"
Duan Yunhong said: "It's not impossible."
"You're crazy." Ning Fei half-jokingly half-taunted him when he heard his light tone, "You're far away in Huichuan, and you still want to tag your friends in Tianyue? Are you a dog that pees on tires to mark them?"
Duan Yunhong sneered when he heard this: "Why, you're having fun on a car with my name on it, and you can't get up?"
"You bought me a car just for this?" Ning Fei snorted and laughed, sitting on his lap face to face, "Duan Yunhong, are you still sulking because I didn't ride in your car? Or are you hinting that you want to put the parting shots in the car?"
In the morning, thinking about Ning Fei, they were exhausted, so they calmed down. It's night now and there's still some time, so we can play for a while.
"What kind of joke are you talking about?" Duan Yunhong really got the hint, and his face was full of sarcasm, but his hands pinched his waist, "It's a car without windows, I don't have the desire to perform."
"Are you imagining me being with someone else in the car you bought?" Ning Fei put his hands on his shoulders, slowly moved closer, and said with a low laugh, "Your XP is quite weird, isn't it disgusting..."
Sarcasm can also produce an ambiguous effect if said at the right time. The two of them were arguing, the distance between them was shortened, and the atmosphere was just right. Just at this critical moment, Ning Fei's cell phone rang.
He raised his eyebrows, took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and hung up.
But before he could put down his phone, the call rang again. Ning Fei groaned, climbed up from Duan Yunhong, and walked to the side while answering the phone: "Hello? What's up?"
"…I didn't do anything. I just finished my meal."
"Yes, he is still here too... indeed, he is still together."
Duan Yunhong guessed as soon as he heard it that it must be Yu Zhou who called to "check on him". He not only asked about Ning Fei's arrangements, but also asked about his whereabouts. This Yu Zhou, who calls himself Ning Fei's "teacher", is more controlling than his biological parents. He knew that Ning Fei had a crush on him, but he didn't respond and at the same time he wanted to control her.
Ning Fei clearly didn't like this and could have escaped on her own initiative, but she still accepted Yu Zhou's control.
If this happened to someone else, Duan Yunhong would just watch the fun, respect other people's fate and let go of the complex of helping others. But when it comes to Ning Fei...he really can't help but care.
Ning Fei didn't notice Duan Yunhong's eyes on her, but continued to answer the phone. With her back to Duan Yunhong, she leaned against the window and said, "I'll leave tomorrow morning. Him? I don't know, maybe tomorrow too. Why are you asking this? ...Huh?!"
As the last word of shock came out, Ning Fei suddenly stood up and turned his head, meeting Duan Yunhong's gaze.
But he hadn't hung up the phone yet, still responding to the person on the other end: "Are you serious?... No, I haven't told him about this... Tsk, okay, I get it."
Duan Yunhong pinched his fingers quietly.
He had a feeling that tonight's "good thing" might be over. More importantly, Ning Fei must have been informed by Yu Zhou about "that matter" and he would probably be furious.
Sure enough, after Ning Fei hung up the phone, the first thing he asked was a fierce question.
“The Huichuan Base just issued an announcement, saying that it has established the country’s first comprehensive management center for variant prevention and control technologies, huh?
"Don't you deliberately lure me out and steal my ideas just to disgust me in person, Duan Yunhong!"
