Hearing that Zhong Chufeng would be tagging along, Tang Yuanyuan was not surprised at all. Since her brother and Chufeng had always spent much of their time together, it was normal for their relationship to be good.
All these years, Tang Yuanyuan had gotten used to both of them doing things together.
“Cousin sister? Why haven’t I heard of this from Chufeng before?” Tang Yuanyuan asked curiously.
“Yeah, I’m not sure. Let’s ask him later when we see him.”
“Okay.”
They arrived at Chufeng’s house around 20 minutes later, and it could be seen from afar that he was standing by the roadside with a lady.
“That’s Chufeng’s cousin?”
During this winter season, she was wearing a short sequined skirt, a pair of high-heeled boots, and a fur coat. Her hair was dyed red.
After driving closer, Tang Yuanyuan only noticed that the woman had on makeup. Her lipstick was very beautiful and it was plum-colored. Her two large earrings also attracted attention.
Most importantly, she was very slim.
Tang Yuanyuan was staring at her admiringly.
“Yuanyuan!”
Zhong Chufeng saw her and immediately waved as he approached her. He then took her cap the first thing after she rolled down the car window.
“Why are you dressed like Little Red Riding Hood, Yuanyuan?”
Tang Yuanyuan pursed her lips and whispered, “My mom got it for me as a new year present.”
“Not bad. Aunty Tang has good taste.”
“Zhong Chufeng, why don’t you introduce her to us?”
A dissatisfied female voice came from behind Zhong Chufeng.
Zhong Chufeng moved his body aside and introduced, “She’s my cousin, An Qian.”
An Qian curled her lips while waving at Tang Yuanyuan. “Hi, I’m An Qian. I’m the daughter of Zhong Chufeng’s uncle.”
“How could you call me by my name directly? Where are your manners? Call me brother!”
An Qian just ignored him.
Tang Yuanyuan greeted her.
“Hello An Qian, I’m Yuanyuan.”
An Qian smiled politely as her gaze swept across Tang Yuanyuan; her eyes shone brightly as she spotted Yuchi Yishu in the driver seat.
“Hello Yishu, I’m An Qian.”
She was enthusiastic, but Yuchi Yishu was as cold as ice. He nodded expressionlessly and said coldly, “Get in the car.”
“Okay.”
Zhong Chufeng then dragged An Qian into the car.
Both the men were sitting in front as they were drivers. They could take turns to drive and let the others rest.
Although it was already dark outside, the streets were exceptionally lively because of the new year.
Initially, Tang Yuanyuan was still able to look at the fireworks from outside the window and was very excited. She even took a picture of it with her phone and uploaded it to her Instagram.
An Qian, who was beside her, could not help but ask, “Haven’t you seen fireworks before?”
“That’s not it.” Tang Yuanyuan shook her head. “Actually, I can see them every year, but it’s different each time.”
“What’s the difference?” An Qian had a disapproving look on her face when she said, “Don’t all fireworks look the same? There’s nothing beautiful about them. It’s boring.”
Tang Yuanyuan sensed her disdain and did not argue with her any further. She continued to happily take the pictures herself.
An Qian looked at Tang Yuanyuan and felt like she was really a fool. However, she did not point it out directly as they were on a trip together.
Tang Yuanyuan was excited throughout the journey and would be thrilled over simple things like she was a child. She was both curious and passionate about the things around her.
Zhong Chufeng had been staring at her through the rearview mirror; his eyes were full of affection. Even he could not help but talk to her whenever she cheered.
An Qian was a little annoyed at the side and put on her earphones to listen to some house music.
She was almost the same age as Tang Yuanyuan, but she was a little more rebellious. Besides, she just came back from studying abroad, so she subconsciously thought of Tang Yuanyuan as a social recluse, but most importantly, she was round and chubby.
From the first glance, one would know she was the type of girl who could not resist delicious food.
An Qian hated women like that the most. She was ignorant about her figure and was as fat as a pig.
Later, Tang Yuanyuan also grew tired and was now leaning back.
She whispered to Yuchi Yishu, “Yishu, I’m sleepy. Can I take a short nap?”
“We still have a long way to go before we arrive. If you’re sleepy, go ahead and take a nap.”
“That’s right, Yuanyuan. You should take a nap with peace of mind. I’ll also nap a while later. Later at night, we’ll take turns to drive.”
“Alright.”
Tang Yuanyuan fell asleep peacefully while An Qian put on her headphones to listen to music. After seeing that Tang Yuanyuan was quiet now, she took off her headphones.
Then, she suddenly thought of something and clicked into her group chat to complain to her classmates.
‘Do you guys know? I met a social recluse today. She was so excited when she saw the fireworks as if she had never seen one before.’
This group was very active. Besides, many of them were not doing anything on New Year’s Eve, so someone quickly jumped online to reply.
‘What the hell? Have fireworks become a rarity in this era? Which poor village did that person come from?’
‘Pfft, it turns out that there are people in the city that live like country bumpkins.’
‘They’re really embarrassing the rest of us.’
An Qian happily typed, ‘That’s right. The point is my stupid cousin seems to be fond of this social recluse.’
‘Your cousin???’
‘Yeah, and do you know what? From her looks, she looks to be almost 200 pounds.’
‘F*ck!’
‘200 pounds!’
‘What kind of giant is this?’
‘Oh my God, your cousin has quite a distinct taste. Why would he like a 200-pound social recluse?’
‘Just how fat is she? Can you send us a photo?’
Photo?
An Qian glanced at Tang Yuanyuan who was sleeping, then at the two men in front of her. If she were to take a photo at this time, she would not be spotted, right?
Thinking of this, An Qian secretly turned on the camera and aimed it at Tang Yuanyuan’s face before snapping a photo.
However, the photo taken of Tang Yuanyuan showed that her skin was fair with a slight blush and she did not look ugly at all.
An Qian was not satisfied and planned to take another photo with her phone placed further away so that she could get Tang Yuanyuan’s whole body into the shot. It seemed that this girl had features that were still decent, so she should just take a photo of her body.
As such, she could only move back slowly. She was now sitting exactly opposite the main driver.
Before she could take the photo, she felt a hint of coolness upon her body.
An Qian’s hand movements stopped as she subconsciously looked over at Yuchi Yishu.
He did not speak but was only looking at her with cold eyes.
An Qian kept her phone subconsciously.
Have I been… exposed? Isn’t he supposed to be driving? How did he notice what was happening behind?
When she looked over at Zhong Chufeng, she saw that he was already sleeping like a pig.
An Qian did not dare to simply move around anymore after seeing the look in Yuchi Yishu’s eyes. Anyway, there would be many other opportunities.
However, the group was still noisy.
‘Where’s the photo?’
‘Where’s An Qian?’
An Qian glanced at the messages, then replied, ‘It’s not convenient for me to take photos of her at the moment. Let’s talk about it again later.’
