Chapter 42 is charming and endlessly enjoyable.

Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin traveled along the way, stopping and starting frequently.

We stopped to buy something to eat in every town we passed through.

They would stop to take pictures when they saw beautiful scenery.

It felt just like going on vacation.

By the time they arrived in the mountain town, it was already two or three in the afternoon.

In mid-January, the temperature in the mountain city had already dropped to single digits, making it even colder than Yin County.

This is a city that's unbearably hot when it's hot and unbearably cold when it's cold, yet it's also full of charm.

The water at the confluence of the Jialing River and the Yangtze River is a cold, grayish-blue, and a thin mist shrouds the scattered buildings on both banks like a veil.

Traces of frost remained on the steps of Chaotianmen Wharf, and the river breeze swept by, carrying a damp chill that seeped into every alleyway.

The ginkgo trees along Nanbin Road have long since shed their leaves, leaving bare branches swaying gently in the wind.

The stilted buildings of Anhongyadong are lit with warm yellow lights, like a group of lanterns hanging on the riverbank.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Xun looked at the city scenery flashing by outside the window, his eyes slightly dazed.

In his previous life, his parents worked here, and he also worked here for several years after graduating from university.

Everything here felt somewhat familiar to him, yet it also seemed very, very far removed from his memories.

Yang Huimin noticed that he was not in a good mood, so she deliberately slowed down the car and tried to ask him several times, but she held back.

She could understand this boy, who was not yet 18, less and less. When he was immature, he was like a child, but when he was mature, he seemed to be more profound than her.

She drove directly to YZ District because she needed to register at Bashu Middle School first.

When they arrived at the entrance of Bashu Middle School, the teacher who came to pick them up was already waiting there.

He looked like a young man in his early twenties, wearing thick black-rimmed glasses and appearing very refined.

Upon seeing Yang Huimin step out of the car, he became so nervous that he could barely speak.

He never expected that the teacher he was assigned to would be so beautiful, so beautiful that he dared not look directly at her.

The male teacher was thinking that he must perform well in the coming week, and maybe he could win the favor of the beauty.

Little did he know that Yang Huimin had no intention of participating in the training at all; her registration was merely a formality to complete her task.

After filling out a form at the school, she asked the male teacher to sign in for her for the next few days, saying she had something to take care of.

Although the male teacher was somewhat disappointed, how could he refuse when a beautiful girl asked him to sign in for her?

Under the male teacher's lingering gaze, Yang Huimin returned to her car, stepped on the gas, and sped away.

Jiang Xun sighed in the car. So this was how he was in his past life? No wonder no beautiful woman could attract him.

"Why are you sighing?" Yang Huimin looked at him strangely, wondering what he was thinking about all day.

"Simps, in the end they get nothing." Jiang Xun sighed sincerely.

"What 'simp'..." Yang Huimin was somewhat confused.

She noticed that Jiang Xun was probably referring to the male teacher from earlier, and being as clever as she was, she immediately understood what the word meant.

For some reason, she burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Xun looked at her strangely.

“I suddenly remembered that someone said on QQ that he wanted to be my little lapdog.” Yang Huimin glanced at him with a smile.

“I keep my word. Tell me, where?” Jiang Xun glanced at her strangely.

"Get lost!" Yang Huimin blushed instantly and threw her coat at Jiang Xun's face, blocking his view.

Jiang Xun took the coat; it still retained a trace of warmth and a faint fragrance. "Sister, why does your coat smell like this?" Jiang Xun brought it to her nose, sniffed it, and frowned.

"How could that be? I hardly wore any clothes!" Yang Huimin exclaimed anxiously. She was so particular about cleanliness, yet this person said her clothes smelled.

"Oh~" Jiang Xun said with a look of sudden realization, "So it's the feminine scent of a beautiful woman."

"..." Yang Huimin rolled her eyes, looking speechless.

"Where did you learn all this nonsense?" she complained, but she couldn't hide her secret delight.

"Ugh, you're so annoying." Jiang Xun shook his head.

"What did I do now?" Yang Huimin glared at him.

Jiang Xun smiled brightly, "Charming, I never get tired of looking at him."

"I……"

"Ha ha……"

Jiang Xun enjoyed seeing Yang Huimin speechless, but he knew when to stop, lest she become completely desensitized to cheesy pickup lines.

The two bickered the whole way in the car, but they didn't find it boring at all, and soon they arrived at JB District.

They found an old hot pot restaurant to fill their stomachs, and then checked into a four-star hotel next door.

They had already booked their flights to Shanghai for tomorrow on their phones, and staying here is close to the airport.

Jiang Xun treated everyone to hot pot, so Yang Huimin paid for the hotel stay instead.

When the receptionist received the two people's ID cards and checked them in, she looked at Jiang Xun and then at Yang Huimin.

That strange look made Yang Huimin wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

The girl even specifically asked, "The hotel's couples' rooms are 20% off, would you two like to take a look?"

This caused Yang Huimin to blush and flee in panic.

Back in his room, Jiang Xun lay on the bed replying to messages from Yang Kaiyi, Chen Shixuan, and others. Yang Huimin sent him a message asking him to go to the night market that evening.

Around 7:30, Jiang Xun arrived at Yang Huimin's room as agreed and knocked on her door.

Appearing before him was a stylish woman dressed in a white base layer and a black down jacket.

It's clear that Yang Huimin has put on simple makeup; she has applied a light lipstick and light makeup on her face.

Having grown accustomed to seeing her without makeup, Jiang Xun was genuinely surprised to see her suddenly wearing light makeup.

"Let's go!" Yang Huimin closed the door and hooked her arm around Jiang Xun's.

Although she appeared nonchalant, her flushed cheeks and stiff movements betrayed her inner tension.

Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment, then let Yang Huimin carry her towards the elevator like a puppet.

"What are you looking at! Is there a problem with a sister holding her brother's hand?" Yang Huimin glared at him and said, her face flushed.

"No problem, of course no problem." Jiang Xun smiled, not daring to say more, for fear of ruining the intimate relationship they were in at the moment.

To be honest, Yang Huimin, who is 23 or 24 years old, looks like she is 20 when she wears a youthful outfit.

Jiang Xun's inherent mature demeanor makes him appear several years older than his actual age.

Therefore, you can't tell their age difference by their appearance at all. When they walk together, they look more like peers.

When they arrived at the hotel lobby, the receptionist saw them from afar and a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.

"It's so good to be rich. When I'm rich, I'll find a handsome young man like him."
