Chapter 1983 - 1984: One's Own Little World
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then it's settled. This matter is very important, so I'll leave it to you."
Jiang Hui couldn't say much at this point and could only nod to express her agreement.
The sunset was slowly descending over the hills, painting the western sky a bloodred color, which tinged the entire river in crimson.
Jiang Hui nestled against Ling Zhenfei's shoulder, letting all the beauty meld into the glow of the sunset.
In the distance, wisps of clouds began to rise, suggesting that there would be a cloudy and foggy night again.
Many people like gazing into the distance, and once the horizon opens up, a different world forms in their hearts.
But some people prefer to hide in their own little world, finding a great sense of security there.
That evening, Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Hui went out to eat at a small, unknown eatery, ordering a few dishes they rarely had.
They drank the most ordinary kind of liquor, yet spoke with the warmest sincerity.
In this world, many people genuinely exchange sincerity when suffering, but once they become wealthy, everything around them seems fake.
That night, Ling Zhenfei went to Jiang Hui's house. After all this time, their emotions had reached a critical point, and at this moment, suddenly burst forth.
Jiang Hui was very open in front of Ling Zhenfei, so at this moment, she naturally let go of everything.
Both were heated, frenzied, like they were losing their minds.
The air was filled with the scent of hormones, along with another indescribable aroma.
Everything was so ethereal, so illusory, like being in a dream. It's hard to say what happens in a dream, but the feeling is wonderful.
The next morning, Ling Zhenfei received a call from Murong Liuqing; Ling Zhenfei had chosen the number, so it was instantly recognizable.
But it was still early, and Jiang Hui was not yet awake; the passion from the night before had exhausted her.
Ling Zhenfei still answered the call.
"Ling Zhenfei, where on earth have you gone?"
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, finding the tone reminiscent of a wife chastising a husband for not returning home. However, Murong Liuqing's words carried a slightly heavier killing aura.
Ling Zhenfei said, "What's wrong? Do I need to report to you wherever I go?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Naturally, you don't need to report your whereabouts to me, but there's something you must do now—hurry and take me to Xianling Mountain."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Xianling Mountain isn't open yet. Why do you want to go there?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Even though it's not open, it's better than sitting in your restaurant all day eating and drinking. I'm almost going crazy."
Knowing that this girl wasn't accustomed to such a life, Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "How about this: wait a bit today, and I'll take you somewhere else."
Murong Liuqing said, "From the Xi Shan Restaurant in the Provincial City to the Xi Shan Restaurant in Binyang—you really are something. Where are you taking me today?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Look at you, feeling aggrieved. You think everyone gets to hang out at our Xi Shan Restaurant every day? Others would beg for this opportunity and still not get it. But if you're unwilling, fine."
Murong Liuqing said, "I want to enter Xianling Mountain. Are you taking me today or not?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Fine, it's just Xianling Mountain. Wait for me; I'll definitely take you. Just wait, and I'll meet you at Xi Shan Restaurant soon."
Murong Liuqing said, "You better keep your promise."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I will, I will."
After hanging up, Jiang Hui also woke up. Hearing Ling Zhenfei was getting up, she hurried to help him dress and see him off.
After getting up, Ling Zhenfei bid Jiang Hui farewell. They had said all that needed to be said last night, so there was no need for more words.
Very soon, he arrived at Xi Shan Restaurant. Walking in, he saw Murong Liuqing, Sun Wei, and Zhang Zhenlin sitting at a table by the entrance, waiting for him.
Sun Wei said, "Brother Ling, you're finally here. If you hadn't come, this young lady might've killed me."
Ling Zhenfei knew Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin were suffering being with Murong Liuqing.
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's just been a day. If you're bored, let's leave."
Sun Wei said, "I haven't had enough. Is there any place better than here? I don't know any."
Zhang Zhenlin said, "I also think this place is great; I almost don't want to leave. It's heaven for men."
Ling Zhenfei knew these two were likely flirting with the waitresses at Xi Shan Restaurant. They hadn't succeeded yet; otherwise, they wouldn't want to leave.
The waitresses at Xi Shan Restaurant aren't that easy to woo. With each one being outstanding, they're not easily fooled.
The most common technique to woo a girl is of course money. But the wages at Xi Shan Restaurant are high, so a little money doesn't work.
Ling Zhenfei certainly wouldn't give them the chance and was ready to take them away.
At this moment, Yang Zixuan approached and called to Ling Zhenfei.
"Big Brother Ling, a large box came for you yesterday. It's for you."
Ling Zhenfei was briefly puzzled but, after opening the box, saw that it contained the walkie-talkies he had ordered had arrived.
Each walkie-talkie came with two batteries, all fully charged.
Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin were very curious.
"What is this? It looks pretty unusual."
Ling Zhenfei said, "This is good stuff; I'll explain it to you later."
Ling Zhenfei packed up the box of walkie-talkies and drove the three towards Xishan Manor.
Ling Zhenfei was quite a driver, and Murong Liuqing, who rarely rode in cars, was surprised to see him drive.
"You can even drive?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "What's the big deal? It's not hard."
From the side, Sun Wei laughed and said, "Miss Murong, let me tell you, if you plan to marry someone someday, you'd better make sure you marry a rich man as beautiful as you are."
Murong Liuqing was filled with anger but still asked, "Why?"
Sun Wei said, "So that you'll be well taken care of. Someone like Brother Ling would do—he has a car, a house, and a company."
Murong Liuqing asked Sun Wei, "Why him? Can't it be you?"
Her question delighted Sun Wei, "What are you saying? So, Miss Murong likes someone like me. If you really want to marry me, I can consider it."
Before he could finish, Murong Liuqing smacked him, "Still need to think about it?"
This hit left Sun Wei feeling miserable; he quickly shouted, "Fine, I won't think anymore—is that okay?"
Murong Liuqing slapped him again, "Still not thinking? Let's see how I deal with you."
