Chapter 38: Eating snacks with the beautiful girl

  Zhu Zi Chuan and Cao Da Fu drank for a while, then arranged for them to rest. Cao Da Fu asked about Ye Ping Yu's situation until the end. Zhu Zi Chuan thought for a moment before telling him that Ye Ping Yu had something to do tomorrow, so he shouldn't bother with it. He could just leave early tomorrow morning and go back by himself.

  Cao Dafu didn't know what Ye Pingyu was up to, and it wasn't good to ask too many questions, so he could only follow Zhu Zichuan's instructions and do as he was told. Then Zhu Zichuan and Han Yuanqing left.

  Living in this luxurious hotel, Cao Dafu and Yang Leyi were very happy, but they didn't know where Ye Pingyu had gone, so they chatted back and forth in the room. Yang Leyi said that this kid has now become a big shot, with connections to local leaders, how did we not see it before?

  Cao Dafu also thought so, and sighed: "Old Yang, Xiaoye is my subordinate. Now that we're here, I feel like I've become his subordinate too. What do you think the relationship between Xiaoye and Zhu Zishen is?"

  Yang Leyi thought for a moment and said, "This is hard to say, I'm from the same village as him, but I've never heard that he has any relatives in this area. If they're not related, then why would Zhao Zi's family be so good to him? Could it be that they have some distant relative that nobody in the village knows about? I'll go back and ask around again."

  Cao Dafu nodded and said, "Old Yang, you go back to the village and ask around again. Today's situation is unclear, and Xiao Ye's mouth is quite tight, it's probably impossible to get anything out of him by asking. You think of a way to find out."

  The two of them chatted for half a day, and then fell asleep in a daze. Meanwhile, Ye Pingyu was snoring loudly in the room. Last time in the county town, he had drunk quite a bit of wine and vomited when he got back. This time, he drank even more than last time, but didn't vomit, making him wonder if his alcohol tolerance had increased. However, it's also possible that last time he threw up because of the bumpy ride back from the county town, whereas this time he rested directly, so the situation was different.

  He was sound asleep in the house, but his mind was still dreaming of some things. The figures of Zhao Yanan and Chang Fang kept appearing before his eyes, then the figure of Gao Kesin appeared, followed by the sudden appearance of Feng Xiyao's figure. One after another, the figures of women kept emerging in his mind, he didn't know which nerve was touched, making him have such a dream.

  Doing so in a dream, the figure that kept appearing in the dream was Fengxi Yao's shadow and smile. Dreaming on and on, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he abruptly sat up, opened his eyes to take a look: it had dawned!

  After a night's dream, Ye Pingyu shook his head and thought of the situation in his dream. He hurriedly got up to take a shower in the washing room. The events of last night came back to him, and he couldn't believe he had drunk so much wine, let alone drink with Ping Yuan Chao, and even arm-wrestled with that guy from Beijing surnamed You, drinking a lot of wine.

  Everything seemed to be in a dream, and the figure of Feng Xiyao appeared again before his eyes. Her kind of innocence and elegance, cuteness and coquettishness, made him very fascinated, leaving an impression on his mind that he couldn't shake off for a long time. He just felt that she was too far away from him, like that fleeting fairy, as soon as he reached out his hand, the person disappeared.

  After thinking randomly for a while, he took a bath and lay down on the bed to rest for a bit. Only then did he start feeling some pain in his head, indeed having drunk too much. To alleviate this pain, he sat up in bed, crossed his legs, and practiced the Eight Brocades that he often practiced.

  After a while, someone knocked on the door. He hastily let go of his hand, jumped off the bed, opened the door, and to his surprise, it was Feng Xi Yao. Seeing him, he smiled charmingly and said: "Are you okay after drinking? Let's go eat together!"

  Ye Pingyu hastily said: "Nothing's wrong, just a bit dizzy in the head, I'm much better now. Where are we going to eat?"

  Feng Xi Yao chuckled and said, "My second brother is also drunk, still sleeping in bed and hasn't gotten up yet. He didn't even eat breakfast. You're a bit better off, getting up early. Come with me to have some breakfast!"

  Originally, Feng Xi Yao got up and went to find You Zhi Bing first. However, You Zhi Bing was still asleep and didn't get up. With sleepy eyes, he opened the door for her, then lay back in bed and continued sleeping. He even refused to eat breakfast when she called him. She had no choice but to come over and check on Ye Ping Yu, calling him to go downstairs and have breakfast together.

  Ye Pingyu didn't know where to have breakfast, so he hadn't considered eating breakfast. Now that he heard there was breakfast, his stomach immediately growled, and he readily agreed: "I'm starving! I'll treat you!"

  Looking at Ye Pingyu's appearance of wanting to generously invite her out, Feng Xiyao couldn't help but hold her belly and laugh. Ye Pingyu didn't understand why she was laughing, foolishly staring at her with his eyes, thinking, what's so funny about this?

  "Did I do something wrong?" Ye Pingyu thought for a moment before asking.

  Feng Xi Yao laughed so hard her stomach hurt, and she waved her hand repeatedly: "No, no need, okay, let you treat me to dinner. Is there a snack bar around here?"

  The hotel originally provided breakfast, and Ye Pingyu didn't know why he wanted to invite her to eat again, so she thought it was funny. But now that she saw Ye Pingyu's ridiculous appearance, she suddenly didn't want to eat in the hotel anymore. She thought of eating some snacks outside, tasting the local flavors, and after returning to the capital city, it would also be a great aftertaste.

  Ye Pingyu was not very familiar with this place and didn't know where to find snacks, but he had promised to treat someone to dinner, so the location of the meal had to be found. As long as he went out for a walk, he would probably be able to find it.

  After some thought, Ye Pingyu was about to accompany Feng Xiuyao out for dinner, but as soon as they stepped out the door, he remembered something and said: "Feng... Miss, is it not a bit unsafe for the two of us to go out together?"

  Because Pingyuan Chao was worried about their safety last night, now he is the only one accompanying Feng Xiyao out. If there's a safety issue, he can't be responsible for it, so he thinks it's better to be cautious.

  Feng Xi Yao looked at him and smiled, "Why call me Miss Feng? Don't you know that 'Miss' sounds unpleasant? Just call me Feng Xi Yao directly. I'll call you Ye Ping Yu. We're just going out for breakfast together, what's the safety issue? You don't have to worry!"

  After hearing Feng Xi Yao's words, Ye Ping Yu smiled and thought that going out to eat shouldn't be a problem with safety. This society isn't so chaotic, it's just that they came from the capital city, so they were being more cautious than necessary.

  As they thought, Ye Pingyu led the way in front, Feng Xiyao followed behind. After leaving the gate of the big hotel, they looked around and found that all the surrounding areas were large hotels. It was unlikely to find street food vendors here, which made Ye Pingyu feel embarrassed - where could he go to find a place selling snacks?

  Feng Xi Yao came for the first time, of course, he didn't know either. Ye Ping Yu thought for a moment and remembered that when he was in school, he passed by here and got off to eat snacks. If not, just walk along the road and take a look if there's a more secluded place, usually there are snack vendors in those places.

  Thinking of this, Ye Pingyu took Feng Xiyao to a small path and walked towards the end where there should be street food vendors. He walked in front, with Feng Xiyao following behind him. Seeing that he was walking a bit fast, Feng Xiyao called out in a soft voice: "Ye Pingyu, can you walk a little slower?"

  Ye Pingyu felt embarrassed to walk with her, so he walked a bit faster, but unexpectedly she called out to him, and he had no choice but to slow down. After slowing down, Feng Xiuyao caught up with him, smiling and starting a conversation. Feng Xiuyao was very generous and naturally chatted with him about things, asking where he went to university and what his current work situation was like.

  Ye Pingyu chatted with her for a bit, then thought for a moment and asked about her situation. Of course, he didn't dare ask about her family's background, but only asked where she went to school and how her dad ended up in their village as an inserted youth.

  Feng Xi Yao told him that she was still a junior at Yanjing University, and her father's past as an educated youth sent to the countryside wasn't very clear either. But back then, many young people from cities went to rural areas, so her father must have been one of them!

  Ye Pingyu also knew something about this period of history, he just wanted to ask about her father's specific situation, but it seemed that Feng Xiuyao wasn't too clear about it either, so he didn't ask again.

  The two of them chatted and laughed, Ye Pingyu noticed that she was currently attending university, and he had also just graduated from university not long ago, so they had a lot of common language. However, the university Feng Xiya attended was much better than hers, but as for herself, she should be a Yanjing person, and in terms of high school entrance exam scores, it's unlikely that she would score higher than him.

  Feng Xiyao told him his Gaokao score, and he heard that it was not as high as his own, but since Feng was from Yanjing, the admission score was lower, so he could get into Yanjing University.

  As they chatted, Feng Xiyao became very cheerful and looked extremely happy. Ye Pingyu was also very excited in his heart. As they walked together chatting, it seemed like they were just a couple holding hands.

  While Fengxi Yao came over from the capital, her mood was also very relaxed. Seeing Ye Pingyu's simple and unadorned appearance, she felt a liking in her heart, unlike those people she interacted with in the capital who were all flashy and pretentious. The longer she interacted with them, the more she disliked it.

  Her father often talked about his days in the countryside when he was chatting with her. The countryside was very poor, but the people were very simple and kind-hearted. Although there were also bad people, overall, the people there didn't have many fancy ideas, and neighbors helped each other out. His two-year experience of being sent to the countryside brought him lifelong wealth.

  These words had a significant impact on her, and when she grew up, although there were many friends around her, they all seemed to be making friends with her because of her family background. Those who were good friends in the past would also compare themselves to each other in their daily interactions, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

  Now that she has arrived here, she has escaped the environment of the capital city and feels a sense of relaxation that she has never had before. The young man in front of her, accompanying her to see the scenery of this small place, really makes her feel very comfortable and at ease.

  "Feng Xi Yao, there's food up ahead!" Feng Xi Yao was saying while looking around at the scenery when Ye Ping Yu suddenly pointed ahead and said to her.
