Chapter 194: Cousin Wants to Go to the Countryside with Me

~12 min read 2,280 words

It was past ten o'clock, where could I find a driver? After coming out of the hotel, Uncle pulled me aside and said with heartache: "Little Feng, your aunt is generous, she gave me a car in one sentence. This car was bought less than a month ago, it cost over two hundred thousand."

I was not surprised by Uncle's stinginess. Although he was a battalion-level cadre, his previous big spending was all military resources. Now that a piece of meat was suddenly being cut from his heart, it would be strange if he didn't feel the pain.

"It's a loan, not a gift," I corrected Uncle, Boss Zhang: "If you are unwilling to part with the rabbit, how can you catch the wolf?"

"You compare Secretary He to a wolf?" Uncle laughed slyly, winking.

"I didn't. It's just a metaphor." I didn't want to entangle with Uncle. Even if he was unwilling, he had to part with it. Didn't he see a fact? He Jiaxiao had a pivotal position in the He family.

Secretary He and his wife got in the car and left, and Aunt and Uncle also stopped a car and left. Only I, He Jiaxiao, and the peach-blossom-like beautiful Xuelai were left in the parking lot.

"Brother, you go find a place to drink tea, I'll take Xuelai for a spin and come back to find you." He Jiaxiao ordered me, opened the car door himself, and carefully helped Xuelai into the car.

There was nothing for me to do. If I was there, I would be a big light bulb!

I smiled knowingly and instructed him: "Jiaxiao, drive slowly, you've been drinking."

He Jiaxiao waved his hand at me indifferently, as if my existence was an eyesore.

The car door slammed shut. Before I could ask for their phone number, the car had already rushed out like an arrow.

I followed behind wanting to shout, but in the end, I didn't make a sound. I sat down by a flower bed dejectedly, took out a cigarette and lit it. I had to sit here honestly and wait for them. He Jiaxiao might not know the way home, and Xuelai was a person from the hotel, she had to come back. I could only wait for the rabbit by the tree.

Who doesn't love beauty? He Jiaxiao was clearly a romantic person!

A gust of wind blew, carrying the ambiguity in the city, wandering around every open window. A woman stood on the balcony of a high-rise building in the distance. The lights in the room shone softly on her, outlining her graceful body. The wind blew her long hair, like a paper-cut, fixed in the noisy city night sky. She seemed very calm, looking at the city under her feet calmly. With a wave of her hand, she threw out a paper airplane, which fluttered and flew in the night sky with the wind.

I stared at her, and she seemed to see me too. She stood for a few minutes, then turned and entered the room, closed the door, and the light was blocked behind the door, leaving the balcony pitch black. Suddenly, a burst of sad music drifted out, seducing me to the point of almost crying.

Everything was like a dream. Five years ago, I was still an ignorant young man in this city. My youth flowed through the streets and alleys of this city. Even if I couldn't find a receiving unit after graduation, I wasn't as sad as I am now.

I increasingly perceive the power of fate. Fate is like a pair of invisible big hands, placing us on the cusp of the storm at any time.

Drunkenness surged up, and I couldn't lift my head, dizzy and confused. I am now a veteran who has been through many battles. Five years ago, I drank until I was dizzy with the old Secretary Liu Hanquan, and practiced a pair of iron stomachs, but in the end, I couldn't resist the sadness in my heart. Once provoked by the music, I could no longer control it, and tears began to flow wantonly on my face.

People are all led forward by an invisible force. Just like me now, I am determined to run a mineral water factory, but I am struggling.

The phone rang. I took it out and saw it was Huang Weiwei calling. I pressed the answer button and heard her ask me tenderly: "Feng, where are you?"

Last night in her room, I experienced the most wonderful time in the world. I was like holding a thousand-year-old porcelain, carefully wiping the dust on the surface, but dared not explore the scenery inside.

"Weiwei, I am waiting for someone," I said, suppressing my sad voice.

"Waiting for whom?"

"A friend."

She said "Oh": "Who are you waiting for so late? Go home, I am waiting for you."

I am waiting for others, and someone is waiting for me! Life is always very helpless, just like a circle. Everyone is wandering in this circle, and no one can jump out of it.

"You rest," I said: "I'm going back to Suxi early tomorrow morning. I'll come to see you when I have time."

"I don't want to," she said stubbornly: "Tell me where you are? I'll come to find you."

"It's too late," I said: "It's not safe on the road. Be good, don't come out at home."

She pondered for a moment, and said shyly: "I miss you."

"I miss you too," I blurted out and hung up the phone.

Sitting by the cement flower bed, the ground under my butt had already cooled down. The lights in the high-rise buildings began to go out gradually, and the city was about to enter a dream. He Jiaxiao still hadn't returned. I suddenly remembered that Xuelai gave me her business card, so I hurriedly found it and dialed her number under the dim street light.

It rang for a long time before I heard a lazy voice: "Who is it?"

I hurriedly said: "It's me, Xuelai. I am Jiaxiao's cousin."

She said "Mm," and seemed to cover the phone and say something to someone else.

"It's twelve o'clock, come back," I said, looking at the entrance of the new Lin Yin, still people coming and going, clothes fragrant and powder pink.

"I'll be back in a while." Xuelai hung up the phone, and there was a long sound in the receiver.

"Fuck," I cursed, kicked over an abandoned cement block, and it hurt so much that I squatted down, grinning.

The phone rang again. This time it was Aunt calling, asking where I was.

I told her I was still in the parking lot of the new Lin Yin, sitting by a flower bed, waiting for Young Master He who had just returned from the North.

Aunt sighed, and then I heard Uncle's voice: "Little Feng, is the car okay?"

Uncle only cared about his car. I said unpleasantly: "The car is fine, it's good. I have something wrong, I've been waiting for two hours, and I'm about to be suffocated by urine."

Uncle laughed: "Why don't you find a place to pee? Don't look at people when peeing, you can't pee if you look at people."

I teased: "I am a civilized person, how can I pee everywhere. How can I be like you soldiers." Finally, I added: "Uncle, you can sleep peacefully."

Speaking of peeing, I really had the urge. I looked around, no one was paying attention to me, so I hid in the shade of a tree, took out my bird, and peed wantonly into the flower bushes.

Just as I was peeing, a beam of car lights shot over, almost hitting my bird. I was startled, and the urine actually shrank back, dripping a few drops on my hand, which made me want to curse.

As soon as the car stopped, I saw Xuelai come out, looking disheveled, and running towards the gate in a hurry.

I walked over and saw He Jiaxiao leaning back on the seat, smoking comfortably.

"You're back." I opened the car door, looking for something to say.

"Brother, Hengyue City is actually quite good." He laughed, stretching his body with satisfaction.

I looked at him, not understanding, and urged him to go home.

"Where did you go for a spin? It's been more than two hours." I blamed him.

"Actually, it's not far." He Jiaxiao laughed slyly: "I just played car sex too."

"You..." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What's the matter. Brother, you don't know, this is popular now, it's exciting." He Jiaxiao started the car: "All the cars parked on the side of the road in the middle of the night are doing this. Don't make a fuss. Material things can be outdated, but thoughts cannot be outdated."

He lectured me, full of spring breeze, full of ambition.

"It's only twelve o'clock, nightlife has just begun. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Staring at the wall?" He asked a series of questions, which made my head dizzy for a long time.

"What else do you want to do?" I was a little angry.

"Shall we go to a nightclub to drink?" He asked me in a pleading tone, looking pitiful.

He Jiaxiao, what kind of person are you? I cursed fiercely in my heart. It hasn't been a day since you landed, and you've already conquered a flower-like girl, and you want to continue your madness. Is this all the result of four years of studying in Beijing?

"No." I firmly refused: "I've never been there, and I don't want to go."

"Look at you, like a bureaucrat. What's wrong with a nightclub? It's a way of new life." He stepped on the gas, and the car sped out.

"You go if you want, I won't go." I firmly stated again: "I'll wait for you outside."

"If you don't go, what's the fun of me being alone." He lost interest: "Forget it, go home."

The car entered the Municipal Party Committee family compound, and the guard saluted politely.

A car drove past us, driven by Chen Meng, with long hair fluttering in the dark.

He Jiaxiao's eyes lit up, and he honked the horn. The silent Municipal Party Committee family compound was almost woken up by this honk. I was so scared my face turned pale, and hurriedly stopped him.

He laughed, pointed to Chen Meng's car in front and asked: "Whose girl is that, beautiful."

Just as Chen Meng was called by the honk and turned her head, she stepped on the brakes, and He Jiaxiao almost hit her car.

Chen Meng stepped out of the car gracefully, walked to our car, saw it was me, a strange look appeared on her face, and she pointed at He Jiaxiao and said: "Whose wild child? No rules, honking in the middle of the night!"

He Jiaxiao was not angry instead, opened the car window and said with a smile: "Beauty, didn't I scare you?"

A layer of frost covered Chen Meng's face, and she laughed out of anger: "Would I be scared by you? Little brat. This is the Municipal Party Committee family compound, not a big road, nor a vegetable market. A broken car, what are you arrogant about, honking in the middle of the night, are you looking for a beating?"

I hurriedly got out of the car, stopped Chen Meng and said: "Reporter Chen, this is my cousin, Secretary He's son, just arrived from his hometown. I'm sorry."

As soon as Chen Meng heard this, she glanced at He Jiaxiao sitting in the car, and opened her vermilion lips: "Not a good bird."

After speaking, she got into the car and drove away.

He Jiaxiao, sitting in the car, was gnashing his teeth with hatred, pointing at the tail lights of the car that had gone far away and said: "Who is she? So arrogant. This girl, if it wasn't for her beauty, I would have kicked her away."

"She is the daughter of Secretary Chen of the Municipal Party Committee, a reporter for the 'Hengyue Daily'," I said: "Jiaxiao, stop causing trouble for your dad."

He Jiaxiao looked at me unhappily, rolled his eyes and said: "No wonder you are respectful as if you saw your ancestors when you see her. You dead bureaucrat, dead Township Head. No backbone! What about the daughter of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, what about a reporter? She should be so impolite, fuck."

I almost went to cover his mouth. It seems that my little cousin is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

"Brother, I have nothing to do during this time, I'll go to the countryside with you." He Jiaxiao drove the car towards his home under my guidance.

"What are you going to do? The countryside is very bitter," I scared him: "There is nothing fun, and there are many mosquitoes. One bite and a big bubble. With your delicate skin and tender meat, I'm afraid you'll be drained of blood in three days."

"I'm not afraid of a hair," He Jiaxiao patted his chest and said: "At school, I won the runner-up in the long-distance race at the sports meet."

"That Xuelai of yours, no thoughts?"

"What thoughts? It's all in the past, why think about it. Don't worry about her."

"The influence is not good."

"What influence, I am not an official, afraid of a ball."

He Jiaxiao revealed his true colors, one curse after another, and my scalp went numb from listening. ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
