Chapter 471: Yes, sis

~6 min read 1,065 words

The wind blew, and it started raining.

The polluted acid rain hit the rear trunk lid and the right rear door, pattering.

Lin Feng and Guo Yanqiu, who had come out for fresh air, hurried back into the car.

In the strong wind, the car began to sway.

A wild rabbit hid under the car, its head struck several times.

Guo Yanqiu leaned against the rear window, watching the outside world.

Now she had forgotten her fear of darkness, or perhaps she had never been afraid of the dark.

Being afraid of the dark was just an excuse she made up.

And now, she had achieved her goal.

She looked toward the direction of home and silently apologized to her older sister……

After 2 a. m., the wind and rain finally ceased.

"Brother-in-law, what time is it?"

Guo Yanqiu asked Lin Feng.

Lin Feng lifted his wrist to check his watch: "It's 2 o'clock on the 15th."

Guo Yanqiu said, "Let's head back!"

"Huh?"

Lin Feng looked at Guo Yanqiu.

Guo Yanqiu said, "The clothes are dry!"

"Or I could try fixing the car!"

Lin Feng said this, got out of the car, grabbed the toolbox, went to the front of the vehicle, and lifted the hood.

He lit a lighter and took a look.

He quickly found the problem.

It turned out that the wire connecting the battery had come loose.

He clipped it a few times with a pair of pliers that had plastic handles, then returned to the car and turned the key.

The car indeed started up.

Guo Yanqiu sat in the passenger seat, pouting, and said, "Brother-in-law, the car clearly works fine after a quick fix—you lied to me."

"You're not innocent either—you obviously knew the way, yet you lied and made me take such a detour."

"You can fix cars."

"You can swim."

Both of them dropped the pretense.

Lin Feng started the car and began to drive.

Of course they couldn't return the same way; instead they drove toward the town.

At Town 15's market, they wouldn't have to go so far.

Afterward, neither of them spoke.

The road ahead miraculously became smooth.

The way was clear, the road was open.

"Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"

Suddenly, Guo Yanqiu said.

"Huh?"

"I'm talking about your combat strength."

"Huh?"

"Yesterday! You single-handedly subdued two tomb robbers."

"Yeah!"

Lin Feng knew she wasn't referring to that.

The town wasn't far; it would be reached in half an hour.

But it was still before 3 a. m.

Lin Feng parked the car at the roadside by the street entrance and waited.

He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

He didn't know how long had passed when noisy sounds woke Lin Feng.

He opened his eyes and saw that many stalls had already been set up on the street ahead.

Lin Feng immediately got out of the car.

First he bought a charging data cable for his phone.

Then he bought Guo Yanqiu an identical pair of jeans.

After returning to the car, he handed the pants to Guo Yanqiu.

At this point Guo Yanqiu wasn't shy either; she slipped them straight onto her legs……

Lin Feng connected his phone to the car's charging port via the data cable.

After several minutes, when the phone's battery reached 100%, Lin Feng turned on his phone.

As soon as the phone powered on, it received several missed-call notifications.

Most of them were from Guo Yanru, too bad Lin Feng's phone was off.

Also there was Liu Cangyun in Yanjing, and Ouyang Moli.

Lin Feng first got through to Guo Yanru's phone.

Guo Yanru hadn't slept all night, was in a daze, and heard the phone ring.

She picked up the phone, saw it was Lin Feng calling, and quickly answered, "Hello~"

"Are you awake?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Oh, I'm awake. Why didn't you come back last night?" Guo Yanru asked.

Lin Feng explained: "It's all your sister's fault. On the way back, taking that bamboo forest path, she led me into a ditch, and then we ran into someone releasing water."

Then my clothes got soaked. Yanqiu said it was embarrassing to go home, so I thought I'd drive to the county town to buy a clean set of clothes.

As a result, on the road we again encountered a bridge crushed by a vehicle, and Yanqiu pointed out another so-called 'bright road,' which was awful...

"Are you two okay?"

After Lin Feng finished speaking, Guo Yanru asked with concern.

"Nothing's wrong, how could I have any problem?"

"Honey, give the phone to Yanqiu, I want to say a few words to her."

Guo Yanru said again.

Guo Yanqiu took Lin Feng's phone, held it to her ear, "Sis~"

"I have something private to say to you, so move a bit farther away."

Guo Yanru said.

Guo Yanqiu glanced at Lin Feng.

Then, covering the phone, she said, "Brother-in-law, give me a hundred yuan."

Lin Feng took out his wallet, pulled out a fresh hundred-yuan bill, and handed it to Guo Yanqiu.

Guo Yanqiu immediately got out of the car while holding the phone.

"Sis, I'm far enough from my brother-in-law now, what do you want to say?" Guo Yanqiu asked.

Guo Yanru said: "Last night, you and your brother-in-law, did you do that?"

"Sis~"

Guo Yanqiu's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Is it or not!!"

Guo Yanru's voice was very stern.

Guo Yanqiu was a little afraid of Guo Yanru, hesitated a bit, then nodded and said, "Yes, sis! I, I..."

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Guo Yanru said: "I knew it would turn out like this; from the way you looked at him earlier, I had guessed, you!"

Saying that, Guo Yanru let out a sigh.

"Sis, about this matter, please don't tell Mom, okay?" Guo Yanqiu said.

"Of course I won't tell her, otherwise she'd get angry."

"Then, sis, you shouldn't get angry either!"

"What good would getting angry do? Anyway..."

Guo Yanru then gave Guo Yanqiu further instructions.

Guo Yanqiu laughed and said: "Sis, I'm a medical student; even without your reminder I know."

After hanging up, Guo Yanqiu ran to the pharmacy to buy cold medicine.

"Last night, the car was left outside for a long time, I caught a chill, I need to take preventive measures now, otherwise it could become life-threatening."
