Chapter 514: Autumn Wind Ten Miles Accompanies the Beauty

~13 min read 2,408 words

Afternoon free activities meant there was nothing to do in class, and everyone could do as they pleased.

First were the cadres from the provincial organs, who asked one after another if they could go home. They all had homes in the provincial capital, unlike us thirteen cadres from the prefectures and cities, who had nowhere to stay in the provincial capital except for the Party School. However, almost everyone had classmates, friends, or relatives in the provincial capital, and they took this opportunity to build relationships.

The superiority of the provincial cadres was manifested very naturally, and most of us who had no homes in the provincial capital appeared somewhat lonely.

Mei Hua simply stated that since it was free activity, the training class generally wouldn't interfere with what everyone did. But there was one condition: no trouble.

Everyone smiled tacitly, and after Mei Hua announced the end of class, they scrambled out of the classroom.

I had already made plans in my heart; in two days, I could fully make a round trip to Hengyue City. If there were no other changes, in two and a half days, I could finish the wedding ceremony with Huang Weiwei.

After leaving the classroom, I took my mobile phone out of my pocket and called He Jiaxiao. Right now, I needed a car; with a car, I could complete my plan according to my own arrangements.

There was no response to the call. I thought I had dialed the wrong number, so I took it down and dialed again, but there was still no movement. After a long while, the voice came out, "The user you dialed is powered off."

I dialed several times in a row, but it was always that sentence, which made me so angry I almost smashed the phone.

Damn He Jiaxiao! I cursed inwardly, but immediately remembered that he was my cousin, so cursing him was like cursing my uncle. My uncle's image in my heart was still very tall and mighty. From the bottom of my heart, I also admired his character and perseverance very much.

Without a car, I had to take a long-distance bus or go buy a train ticket.

However, whether it was a long-distance bus or a train, my plan could not be guaranteed to be completed.

My appearance must have been desperate, so Deng Hanyuan, who was following behind me, asked, "Old Chen, what's wrong?"

Suddenly hearing him address me as Old Chen, I felt strange, almost unable to believe my ears.

I squinted and smiled, asking him, "Are you calling me?"

Deng Hanyuan's face was full of smiles, and he said hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

I asked softly, "Am I that old? Just Old Chen?"

Deng Hanyuan only then realized that I didn't like his address for me, and quickly said, "It's respect, nothing else."

"I don't mean anything else either," I said, leaving him behind and walking forward.

Deng Hanyuan caught up and asked me in a low voice, "Chen... Chen..." He was struggling with how to address me. Because when the class started, it was already said that everyone was now a person who had resigned from their posts, and without a post, there was no hat. Without a hat to wear, it was really hard to address each other.

I interrupted him and said, "Just call me Chen Feng."

Deng Hanyuan smiled, looking incomparably light, and said, "That's good, that's good. Everyone calling each other like this is intimate. From now on, you can just call me Hanyuan."

I nodded and said, "Good, we are brothers, so let's call each other that."

Deng Hanyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Chen Feng, I see you seem a bit unhappy, what's wrong?"

I shook my head and said, "Nothing. I'm happy."

Deng Hanyuan asked me again, "What are your plans for these two days?"

"Visiting relatives and friends," I smiled easily and asked him, "Hanyuan, what arrangements do you have?"

Deng Hanyuan hesitated for a long time and said, "I really don't know how to arrange it. In the provincial capital, except for you, I don't know a single person right now."

"You don't have any classmates, friends, or relatives here?"

Deng Hanyuan shook his head, sighed, and said, "To tell you the truth, I really don't have one."

I didn't want to ask any further; Deng Hanyuan's words had already told me that he didn't attend junior college in the provincial capital either, otherwise, in such a large provincial capital, he wouldn't have a single classmate.

But having no car to return to Hengyue City was the thing I was most anxious about.

I said to Deng Hanyuan, "Hanyuan, it's only two days, just find something to do and it will pass. I can't accompany you these few days, I'm sorry."

Deng Hanyuan looked flattered and said, "Don't dare, don't dare. Chen Feng, go do your business, don't worry about me."

Watching Deng Hanyuan return to the dormitory, I simply walked straight to the school gate. At this time, taking a taxi to the long-distance bus station might still allow me to catch the fastest bus.

Just as I reached the school gate, a car horn sounded behind me.

I quickly moved aside, waiting for the car to pass.

It was a brand-new Chevrolet sedan, the body polished spotless. A bright red cloth strip was tied to the rearview mirror, showing that this car had just been picked up not long ago.

The car stopped beside me, then the window opened, and a voice called me: "Chen Feng."

I looked down and saw that the person calling me was Gan Lu. A beautiful little girl!

If it hadn't been for her just now, I would have already become the class monitor of the training class. She was a beautiful stirrer! I compared her in my heart and couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

Gan Lu saw the strange smile on my face and asked me in surprise, "What are you laughing at?"

I smiled and said, "Nothing. You go first."

I made a gesture of invitation, imitating a waiter on TV, deliberately bending over.

Gan Lu snorted with laughter and scolded, "Hey! Can you be serious? Flippant, what are you trying to do?"

I said seriously, "Division Chief Gan, I invite you to go first; you are a person with a vehicle, you can't be blocked by my 'eleven-road' car, right?"

Gan Lu rolled her eyes at me and said, "I'm asking where you're going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

My heart moved; damn it, there's a road to heaven and you don't take it! I was just worrying about not finding a car, and you sent yourself over, don't blame me for being impolite.

But I couldn't appear too eager, as that would make people look down on me.

So I deliberately said with difficulty, "Forget it, forget it. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Gan Lu said sternly, "We are all classmates, why talk about trouble or not? You're a big man, why are you so wishy-washy? Tell me, where are you going?"

I continued to appear very troubled and said, "I'm going to the long-distance bus station. The station is in the suburbs, it's not convenient for you."

Gan Lu pondered for a moment and asked me, "Are you returning to Hengyue City?"

I nodded and said, "There's something at home, I'm taking this time to go back and handle it."

Gan Lu didn't say anything, and just then another car came from behind, honking its horn to urge her to go.

She smiled apologetically and drove the car forward.

I felt a wave of disappointment; I had wanted to hitch a ride, but now it seemed there was no hope.

After leaving the school gate, I saw Gan Lu's car parked on the side of the road. She had already gotten out of the car and was standing by the car, looking at me with a smile.

"Get in, I'll take you." She ordered me.

I still wanted to decline, but she gave me a look and got in first.

At this point, being polite again would make me appear hypocritical!

I pulled open the car door without hesitation and sat in.

Just as I sat steady, Gan Lu started the car and turned onto the road. She looked like she was afraid of others seeing, I muttered in my heart. Damn it, we are all classmates, why be afraid of hitching a ride!

Gan Lu's car didn't go into the city, and I also knew the long-distance bus station wasn't in the city. She drove the car straight onto the ring road, not saying a word the whole way, just pursing her lips and smiling.

I didn't know what to say either; after all, we had known each other for less than three hours. Even if I was naturally easygoing, I wouldn't be shameless, let alone the other party was a beautiful woman.

I naturally lacked immunity to beautiful women. Most men had this common problem, but I still knew some shame and wouldn't talk nonsense.

After the car had traveled a distance on the ring road, I saw a ramp leading to the expressway, and she turned the steering wheel and drove onto the ramp.

I shouted in surprise, "Division Chief Gan, this is the road to the expressway."

Gan Lu didn't look at me, her eyes looking straight ahead, and said lightly, "I know."

You know what! I shouted in my heart, what tricks is this little girl trying to play? Is she trying to throw me on the expressway, leaving me with no way to heaven and no door to earth?

"The station is not on the expressway." I told her, almost shouting.

"I know." She smiled lightly again and said lightly.

I sighed and lowered my head, calculating in my heart that if she really dared to play with me, I absolutely couldn't fall for her trick. I would die before getting out of the car!

Gan Lu was amused by my sigh and teased me, "What's wrong? Afraid I'll sell you?"

I smiled bitterly, "I wish."

She looked me over a few times, and her face actually turned slightly red for no reason, and she said softly, "With your looks, you really could sell for a few bucks."

When the car reached the expressway toll station, she took the road card herself, and after driving for a while, one road led to Yuezhou, and one road led to Hengyue. The two roads were north and south, going in opposite directions.

She turned the car onto the ramp leading to Hengyue City, and my heart immediately fell to the ground.

"Division Chief Gan, you can't really be taking me back to Hengyue City, right? I can't afford to bear that." I tentatively teased her.

She tilted her head and looked at me with a smile, saying, "Can't I?"

I suddenly became fearful and anxious; I could almost describe her and me as meeting by chance, why would she take me? Moreover, from the provincial capital to Hengyue City, it was more than four hundred miles, could I bear to let a woman drive me so far?

She seemed to see my fear and comforted me, "Don't worry! I didn't come specifically to take you. Your Hengyue City has a world-famous mountain, and I had long wanted to see it. It just so happened I had time off, so I took this time to come and play for two days."

Another stone in my heart fell to the ground; as long as she didn't come specifically to take me, I wouldn't have any guilt.

"Indeed! Our mountain is the only mountain in the country that combines Buddhism and Taoism. Coming to play in this season, not only can you see the red leaves all over the mountain, but if you are lucky, you might even see rime."

Gan Lu immediately became excited and asked me, "Really?"

I said seriously, "Absolutely not lying to you, if I lie to you, I'm a little dog."

"You're the little dog!" She suddenly snapped at me, driving with a smile.

I thought about it carefully, this sentence seemed to be wrong, but it also seemed impossible to see where it was wrong. The problem was that I had been swearing to others since I was a child, and I had always used this tone to swear, and except for her, no one had ever corrected me.

"How about I drive?" I said ingratiatingly.

She turned her head and looked at me, nodded, parked the car in the parking lane on the side of the road, opened the car door, and got out.

I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and poked my head out to climb out.

Suddenly, I heard an "ouch" in my ears, and then my head hit a pile of soft flesh.

I was startled, and sure enough, I saw Gan Lu covering her chest, her face flushed, looking pained.

I was at a loss; I had bumped into someone's chest, I couldn't help her rub her chest, could I! I smiled awkwardly, wishing I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

This embarrassment was a bit too big! I thought. If I met an unreasonable person, they would think I did it on purpose, wanting to take advantage of them!

Gan Lu turned around and rubbed her chest a few times, then turned back and scolded, "Chen Feng, I heard you are an old hand at doing things, I didn't expect you to be so clumsy!"

I giggled foolishly, hanging my hands and waiting for her to scold me.

She walked past me, opened the car door, got in, and said to me, "What are you still standing there for? Drive!"

I woke up as if from a dream and quickly got into the car and started it. I didn't dare to look at her, my heart pounding.

Gan Lu seemed to have regained her senses; she opened the car window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and let the wind mess up her meticulously groomed hair.

"Autumn wind ten miles!" She closed her eyes slightly and muttered.

My heart moved, and the sentence "Autumn wind ten miles accompanies the beauty" almost blurted out. ===== CHAPTER 515 =====
