The guesthouse offers excellent accommodations. Although it's a rural residence, it's a four-story building with air conditioning, a bathroom, a TV, and a water heater in each room. It's more like a villa than a traditional house.
Douyin has a lot of female employees, most of whom don't like to drink. Even if they have a couple of drinks because they're in the mood, they only take a small sip.
Originally, they were too embarrassed to leave after they had finished eating, but since the boss and his wife had returned to the villa, they naturally had a reason to leave.
A group of people gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the "villa," some watching TV, others playing cards.
Chen Feng and Li Wanwan weren't very interested in playing cards, so after walking around for a while, they sat on the sofa and watched TV with Jiang Dandan and the others.
But as he looked around, Chen Feng noticed something was wrong.
The TV was showing "Sweet Honey 2007," a classic romantic drama that tells the story of Lei Lei and Ye Qing's "evolution" from friends to lovers.
Most coincidentally, the scene on TV was the first time Lei Lei expressed his feelings to his good friend Ye Qing.
"I don't want to be friends with you anymore. I want to be with you, be your boyfriend, take care of you, and protect you."
Chen Feng quickly picked up the remote control and quietly changed the channel.
As a result, the girls, led by Jiang Dandan, immediately objected.
"Boss, why are you changing the channel? We're really enjoying it!"
"Stop watching, this show is boring."
Chen Feng said calmly, "The male lead ended up in a vegetative state, a tragic situation that was unbearable to watch."
"You're just making this up. This show has only just premiered and hasn't even reached its finale yet!"
Secretary Dai Wenying was convinced that Chen Feng was talking nonsense.
She really wronged Chen Feng.
The drama hasn't aired its finale yet, but Chen Feng is a reincarnated character who has watched "Sweet Honey 2007" several times. He didn't make things up; the male lead, Lei Lei, really was hit by the villain and became a vegetable.
However, Chen Feng neither wanted to explain nor could he explain.
"Let's read 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' instead; it's much better than 'Sweet Honey'."
As Chen Feng spoke, he fixed the TV channel on the screen showing "The Oath of the Peach Garden".
To avoid being switched back to "Comrades: Almost a Love Story 2007", he even put the remote control in his pocket.
What girl likes watching sworn brotherhood?
Seeing that changing the channel was hopeless, the girls gave up watching the show and started chatting instead, talking about everything from the difficulty of their major courses to their dormitory life, and then about the most handsome guy in their class or department.
Perhaps it was the handsome looks of the class heartthrob that stimulated the secretion of hormones in her brain, because Jiang Dandan suddenly said, "There seems to be a marriage bridge in Baolongyu Village."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Dai Wenying nodded vigorously, "I saw it too, it's on the west side of the village."
"It is said that the bridge for finding a partner is very effective."
Weng Naixin chimed in, "As long as you hang a love lock, you can finally be together with your sweetheart."
Li Wanwan, "???"
"Cough cough!"
Noticing Li Wanwan's unusual behavior, Chen Feng coughed and tried to change the subject, "Look, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have become sworn brothers. Tsk tsk tsk, Guan Yu's face is really red. I wonder how he put on his makeup."
The girls all turned around and looked at Chen Feng with incredibly strange expressions.
"Boss, something's not right."
"You're a grown man, and you're actually interested in makeup?"
"It's one thing to be interested in makeup, but why do you look at male actors' faces so closely?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's lips twitched violently, and he raised his hand to turn off the TV. "It's getting late, everyone should go back to their rooms and rest."
"What time is it? We're not sleepy yet, let's chat a little longer."
"Yes, boss, if you're sleepy, just go back to your room and sleep. Don't worry about us."
Chen Feng immediately straightened his face, "I'm the boss. If I don't care about you, who will?"
"Besides, we have to take the bus back to school early tomorrow morning, so getting some rest is the right thing to do."
"Go back to sleep, all of you!"
The group looked at each other, and finally got up and went back to their room.
Chen Feng, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, secretly slipped out of the courtyard and strolled alone under the moonlight, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the mountains.
...
Forty minutes later, the boys finished their drinking contest. The other boys either pretended to be drunk or made an excuse to pee, leaving Du Lei alone to clean up and wash the dishes.
Just as Du Lei was lamenting the decline of morality and the loss of traditional values, he saw Chen Feng limping in, cursing under his breath, with a large wet patch on his trouser leg.
"Boss, did you... did you accidentally pee on your leg while you were peeing and slip on your own excrement?"
"Bullshit! I'm a young hero who can pee three feet into the wind, how could I possibly pee on my legs? Do you think I'm some kind of weakling?"
Chen Feng was like a gunpowder-fueled man, spouting nonsense like "birds sing and flowers bloom," and yelling, "If you dare to ruin my reputation again, I'll dock your pay!"
Du Lei shrank back in fright, "Then what happened to you?"
"What else could it be? He must have accidentally tripped and fallen."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Go ask the owner of the farmhouse for some cotton swabs and alcohol. I need to clean my wound."
...
The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
The employees of Douyin gathered in the courtyard of the farmhouse. Chen Feng, with a cigarette in his mouth, directed Du Lei to count the number of people.
"Boss, Senior Zhao is already counting the number of people, so there's no need for me to help."
Du Lei complained with a dissatisfaction, "Your leg is lame, can't you just shut up for a while?"
"Get lost! My leg being lame doesn't stop me from talking!"
Jiang Dandan asked curiously, "Boss, weren't you perfectly fine yesterday? How come you became a little cripple overnight?"
Chen Feng glanced at Jiang Dandan and said, "I have a flare-up of my rheumatism."
"Rheumatism? An eighteen-year-old boy can get rheumatism? I've never heard of that before?"
"Stop babbling on about all this nonsense. The bus is here, is everyone here?"
"All done."
Zhao He gave a reply.
"Then let's head back home."
Chen Feng watched everyone get into the car and leave, then limped back to the lobby on the first floor, sat on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Wanwan approached him, chattering, "Chen Feng, aren't we leaving?"
"Wait a minute, Lao Li and Gao Mei, this place is in a remote location and it's hard to get a taxi."
Chen Feng opened his eyes. "If we leave, those two lovers will probably have to walk back to school."
"oh."
Li Wanwan nodded, then changed the subject, asking, "What happened to your foot?"
"I missed a step when I went downstairs this morning. My ankle is a bit impatient, and it was the first to make intimate contact with the ground."
Li Wanwan stared at Chen Feng's rolled-up trouser legs and the wounds that were the same as hers for a while, then narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't believe it."
Chen Feng closed his eyes again, thinking to himself, "I don't care if you believe me or not. You have no evidence anyway. Even if you beat me to death, I will never admit it."
