Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Is this really necessary?
A friendship between girls without conflict of interest can also be called unbreakable. In order not to make her best friend feel sad, Zhang Qiuling decided to help her.
The next day at noon, she gave Xiao Zhijie a call and gave him some instructions. To be honest, after receiving this call, Xiao Zhijie was a little hesitant. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to do what Zhang Qiuling said.
On another Saturday, Feng Yiping greeted the old security guard at the insurance company and drove directly to the county without going home.
In early spring, the scenery is most pleasant.
Feng Yiping opened the car window, humming along to Liu Tianwang's rare Minnan song, 'The World's Number One', while listening. The wind poured in through the window, carrying the fragrance of the soil and the aroma of the grass.
The sun seemed to have become fresh like the spring breeze, and it seemed to have borrowed the coolness of the moon and shone it on the body. There was no warmth like that of winter, and there was no stickiness like that of summer.
In the fields along the road, many villagers are still busy at work. Some, carrying hoes and smoking pipes, are walking home with their cows. It's time for lunch.
Along the way, there are many ponds, big and small, some natural and some dug to raise fish.
The scenery is best by these ponds, especially one place where a branch of a peach tree next to it reaches out into the water and sways gently in the wind. The buds on it are really the most beautiful colour of spring, and there are a few bees hovering around, which is very lively. All of this is reflected in the rippling water, and Feng Yiping took out his camera and took several shots before he gave up.
They walked and stopped along the way, and it took more than two hours before they arrived at the county seat.
Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning, probably because they had been waiting for a long time, were not on the slope in front of No. 1 Middle School, but were sitting on the riverbank, leaning against the willows.
Xiao Zhijie had put on weight again and looked very plump. It seemed that he was still holding a bag of strange-flavoured beans in his hand and kept asking Wang Changning, who was sitting next to him, something.
Cars can be parked anywhere in the county, so Feng Yiping deliberately pulled up close and honked the horn, startling the two of them.
The two of them looked over with thinly veiled anger. Feng Yiping smiled and poked his head out of the passenger side. Xiao Zhijie, at a speed disproportionate to his size, threw the snack in his hand towards Wang Changning, patted his butt, and then scrambled up from the passenger side. 'Is this your new car?'
He felt around the car like a big kid, bounced a few times on the seat, and said, 'It's so comfortable!'
Wang Changning, on the other hand, walked around the car before finally coming up. 'Not bad, this car looks uplifting and powerful.'
Right, these are like-minded brothers, with the same aesthetic tastes.
'Going to the normal school first?' Feng Yiping asked the two of them.
'Going to the nursing school,' Xiao Zhijie said with a face full of curiosity.
What's going on?
"Wang Changning, I'm asking you. Do you want to go to the nursing school?'
Wang Changning's face turned a little red, 'I'll drop by there on the way to pick someone up.' fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
So, Lao Wang has fallen in love this spring?
Wang Changning went in to find someone, and the two of them waited in the car. 'When did this happen?'
'I just found out today. Before you came, I was asking him when he hooked up.'
After a while, Wang Changning walked out one after the other with a girl wearing a white casual sweater, light blue jeans, and sunglasses in her hand.
The girl was quite good-looking. Xiao Zhijie jumped out of the car and opened the door for her, 'Hello!'
'Hello! You must be Xiao Zhijie, and I'm Yu Lian.' The girl said with a smile, while glancing behind her. She was wearing high heels and had a little trouble getting in the car.
Wang Changning hurried over, his face still a little red, and gave her a hand. You'd think a guy would be more generous with a girl, but he's blushing instead. I don't know who he's trying to impress.
'Hello!' Feng Yiping looked at her with a smile, but more often than not, he was looking at Wang Changning next to her, who didn't say a word but just smiled.
'You must be Feng Yiping, I'm Yu Lian.' The girl smiled, revealing two dimples on her face, "You two really do look a bit alike." She looked at Feng Yiping and Wang Changning several times.
Hearing the name, Feng Yiping was reminded of the little boy in Brussels, Belgium, who had the same name as him, and couldn't help but smile.
When they arrived at the normal school, naturally Xiao Zhijie went in to find someone. In a short while, Huang Jingping and Zhang Qiuling came out behind him, holding hands.
Huang Jingping was wearing a light pink cardigan-style sweater outside, a colour similar to the peach blossoms Feng Yiping had seen on the way. She was very casual, wearing a T-shirt with black stripes on a white background, and black jeans that made her legs look long. She was carrying a watermelon-red shoulder bag that complemented the cardigan nicely. All in all, she had a fresh and feminine style.
When she saw Feng Yiping, she couldn't hide her joy!
'Hey, did you see me?' Zhang Qiuling said unhappily.
She was dressed more maturely today, wearing a grey sweatshirt with a very wide fur collar and sunglasses hanging from her chest.
'What kind of car is this? It's ugly, like an iron box.' Zhang Qiuling wasn't in a hurry to get in the car, but instead walked over to have a look.
'What kind of taste do you have? Do you know how to appreciate it? By the way, let me introduce you to Wang Changning's friend, Yu Lian,' he deliberately emphasised the word "friend" as he introduced the two of them to Yu Lian, who had got out of the car.
Even Huang Jingping couldn't care less about looking at Feng Yiping at this point, and turned her head to take a look at Yu Lian.
Feng Yiping walked to the back of the car, opened the boot, and pointed to the two storage boxes there and said to Xiao Zhijie and Feng Yiping, 'You two can only sit here.'
There was no way around it. Five people could fit, and six people wasn't impossible either. The girls could just sit on the boys' laps. But he couldn't say yes to that proposal.
'I told you, this car of yours is no good. It can't even fit as many people as the original van could,' Zhang Qiuling was once again full of discontent.
I said, 'Can't we just buy a van with a crew van?'
Huang Jingping helped Feng Yiping, 'Don't mind her, she's just hungry and a bit angry.'
'No wonder, she's hungry and so am I. Let's get in the car quickly then, I'm hungry too.'
It was such a coincidence. They were just about to get in the car when a car suddenly pulled up a few metres away. It was a new Accord with a city licence plate. This was the car that started the trend of mark-up in China.
A young man in a short black overcoat and a white scarf came out of the driver's seat. He looked like the character Xu Wenqiang in the movie Shanghai Triad. The scarf hung down from both sides like a khata.
He walked over to them, followed by three young men in the passenger seat and back seat. 'Hello, Jingping!'
Without looking at the others, he came straight up and tried to take Huang Jingping's hand. 'My uncle has a dinner date with Uncle Liu from the Education Bureau tonight. You can stay in the county school and don't have to go down there if Uncle Liu says the word.'
Huang Jingping's face fell when she saw this man. She avoided the hand that he extended towards her and took hold of Feng Yiping's arm, saying coldly, 'Zhu Jinfei, I don't know you that well. Please call me by my full name. Besides, where I work is my business, so don't you worry about it.'
She whispered to Feng Yiping to explain, 'He saw me on the street once and followed me to school. I've told him many times to leave me alone.'
Feng Yiping smiled and patted her hand, 'It's fine.' But in his heart, ten thousand wild horses whizzed by, 'Is this really happening? How can this be such a coincidence? I really ran into such a ridiculous plot.'
Xiao Zhijie, who had gotten out of the trunk, said in a low voice, 'Sorry, brother, but this is for your own good.'
Zhang Qiuling had asked him to do something over the phone, which was to let him find a way to tell Zhu Jinfei, who had been pestering Huang Jingping, that Huang Jingping's boyfriend was coming today.
Zhu Jinfei was a little angry. Feng Yiping was a tall, handsome guy in school uniform, and Huang Jingping was snuggled up next to him, looking like a perfect couple.
And Huang Jingping, who had never been nice to him before, was being unusually gentle with Feng Yiping. He couldn't help but feel angry, but he was in business after all, so he said, 'What's your name, brother? I've never seen you before.'
I guess his uncle is also someone with power. Feng Yiping hates these kinds of people, or rather, he hates the way they do things. If you really want Huang Jingping and really want her to be happy, then just go ahead and take care of the matter she is working on. That would actually make people look at you in a favourable light.
If you can do it but don't, and instead use it as blackmail, that's very low. Even if this didn't happen to Huang Jingping, but just a girl Feng Yiping knows, he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.
'Feng Yiping, I'm not worthy of the title of 'brother'. Thank you for worrying about Jingping, but really, you don't need to trouble yourself. We have things to do, goodbye.' With that, he opened the car door and let Huang Jingping sit in the passenger seat.
His unconcerned manner made the few followers over there very unhappy. One guy with short hair rolled up his sleeves to reveal a tattoo of what looked like a snake, centipede or earthworm on his arm. 'Kid, did I say you could go?'
Feng Yiping's face turned cold. Don't think you can pretend to be a gangster just because you have a tattoo. It turned out that he had spent all three years of his secondary school in the county, and he remembered very clearly that there were at least no underhanded forces on the surface in the county. At that time, the students in his school's 1995 security class were invincible, and together with the other students in the secondary school, no one in the county dared to cause trouble.
Even at the roller skating rink, where there was always a lot of trouble, no one dared to mess with them.
So he looked coldly at the guy in front of him with disdain, 'Excuse me, move aside!'
Feng Yiping's behaviour made the person who had come forward very embarrassed, especially in front of a few girls. "Hey!" He yelled, and quickly followed Feng Yiping. Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning, who had not yet gotten into the car, immediately ran over here. 'What do you want?'
Huang Jingping also jumped off the car and blocked Feng Yiping's way.
Zhu Jinfei then came up and grabbed the man, who was very surprised and said, 'Brother Zhu, what's going on?'
'Let them go.' Although this was Feng Yiping's car and he was seeing it for the first time, he recognised the big trident logo on the front. It was also a provincial licence plate. Although he was not afraid of trouble, he would not do such a stupid thing as to attack someone without knowing who they were.
'Get in, let's go,' Feng Yiping told everyone to get in the car, started the engine, and then stuck his head out again and said to the man who was still looking at him menacingly, 'Oh, yes, you're lucky you didn't do anything just now. Three years ago, we had a little fight, and we were fine. Those three guys were all locked up for a year, and that was only after their parents begged for mercy on their knees. The leader of them all seems to still hang around in the south.'
He finished with a smug smile, then slipped out of the car with the accelerator floored, leaving the four men to inhale the exhaust fumes.
'Are we just going to let this go?'
'No, we need to find out more about them first.' Zhu Jinfei walked angrily towards his car. He had made enquiries at Huang Jingping's home and found out that her father was a small town clerk with no connections. Feng Yiping, on the other hand, seemed to have some connections.
