Today is Sunday, and many officers should be resting.

Lu Weidong was also resting, but he had a meeting scheduled for the morning and couldn't get away. Otherwise, Ye Wenxi would have insisted on having him as her driver.

Zhang Yunxia, ​​Lang Yuqin, and Ding Jiahe were already waiting at the bus station.

Ye Wenxi woke up late, and she ran and stumbled towards the station, dragging her custom-made picnic cart along the way, making a clattering noise.

She glanced at her watch, realizing she was going to be late and miss the bus; Zhang Yunxia and Ding Jiahe would strangle her.

Halfway through the run, Ye Wenxi was already out of breath. She stood there panting and glanced at her watch. There were still two minutes before the bus arrived.

Oh no, I'm definitely not going to make it this time.

It's all Lu Weidong's fault, he's infuriating her.

They caused her a lot of trouble again last night, and even forced her to say those things.

Ye Wenxi stomped her foot and yelled angrily, "Ouch!"

Suddenly, a car came up behind and slammed on the brakes.

"Hey!" A deep voice came from behind.

Ye Wenxi turned around and saw Su Feng leaning out of the driver's seat, his arm propped against the window, looking at her like she was crazy: "What are you shouting in the street? What's wrong?"

Ye Wenxi stood there, panting heavily, unable to speak.

Seeing her carrying the cart as if she was about to leave, Su Feng asked, "Where are you going?"

"I need to go to the county town to go to the market and buy some things," Ye Wenxi said, panting.

"Get in, it's on my way. I'm going to the county town too." Su Feng patted the car door.

"There's more than one of us. I need to go to the market and buy a lot of things," Ye Wenxi said, waving her hand with a hint of embarrassment.

"What? You have a whole platoon of people following you? My jeep can't fit you all?" Su Feng raised an eyebrow, his tone somewhat irritating.

Ye Wenxi rolled her eyes at him.

"It's alright, you go ahead, I'll go meet up with them first." She felt bad troubling Su Feng.

"Alright then." Su Feng didn't insist any further and drove away.

Despite the certainty of death, Ye Wenxi finally arrived at the bus station, but she didn't see Ding Jiahe and the others. Instead, she saw a military jeep parked next to the bus station.

Ye Wenxi: "........."

She walked over and, sure enough, saw Zhang Yunxia sitting in the passenger seat, with Su Feng looking out the window.

When Zhang Yunxia saw her, she rolled her eyes at her: "Why are you only arriving now? The bus has already gone. Luckily, we ran into Section Chief Su who was on his way to the county town."

Ye Wenxi glanced at the back seat, where Ding Jiahe and Lang Yuqin were already sitting.

"This is my first time riding in a jeep from our military region. It's so spacious, you can even cross your legs."

Ding Jiahe added, "Military jeeps are spacious, but the ride is bumpy."

Lang Yuqin: "Section Chief Su, how much do you think this car costs?"

Lang Yuqin: "Hey? Xiao Ye, come on up! This place is really spacious, there's room for everyone, and two more can sit in the back!"

...............

Lang Yuqin looked excited and kept talking.

"Hurry up and come up," Zhang Yunxia called to her.

Su Feng got out of the car, opened the trunk, took the picnic cart from her, pulled it over and stuffed it into the trunk, then opened the back door.

"Let's go," Su Feng said indifferently.

The group got into the car, closed the doors, and the jeep drove out of the military region towards the county town. The journey would take at least an hour.

"Are you in a hurry?" Su Feng asked, glancing at the rearview mirror while gripping the steering wheel.

"It was a bit rushed. The market had already started, and if you went late, you wouldn't be able to get any good meat or vegetables," Zhang Yunxia said.

"Okay, I'll drive faster then," Su Feng said calmly. "Fasten your seatbelts."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Feng floored the accelerator and blasted off, the intense acceleration forcing everyone back into their seats.

five minutes later...

"yUe..."

"No... slow down, I feel nauseous." Ye Wenxi clutched her chest and pressed down on the intense nausea.

Ding Jiahe and Zhang Yunxia turned to look at Ye Wenxi in confusion. Neither of them reacted. Even Lang Yuqin, who didn't often travel by car, didn't get dizzy. On the contrary, Ye Wenxi, who frequently travels by car, got dizzy first.

Su Feng slowed down the car, reducing the magnitude of his turns and accelerations.

Zhang Yunxia turned her head and glanced at Ye Wenxi, staring at him for a while with a slight smile on her lips and a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Ye Wenxi felt uneasy under her gaze.

"I didn't," she admitted without being asked.

"I didn't say anything," Zhang Yunxia said with a smile, turning her head away.

"Xiao Ye, how come you get carsick? Don't you travel by car all the time?" Lang Yuqin asked from the back seat.

"You're not pregnant, are you?" Lang Yuqin blurted out.

Ye Wenxi shuddered, not wanting to get involved.

She turned to Su Feng and asked, "Section Chief Su, what are you going to the county town for? How long will you be staying? Could you please bring some back for us when you return?"

She didn't think that much about it; she just wanted to change the subject.

However, a misunderstanding arose from this.

In Su Feng's view, Ye Wenxi probably tacitly agreed.

Su Feng instinctively gripped the steering wheel tighter...

"I have a younger sister who goes to school there. My mother also went to stay there a while ago, so I went to visit her." His tone was very calm.

Upon hearing Su Feng's words, Zhang Yunxia and Ye Wenxi immediately realized that the younger sister he was referring to must be Su Yue.

After Su Changqing's accident, Su Feng arranged for his mother to live with his sister in the same county town.

Sure enough, after Su Changqing's incident, the Su family underwent significant changes.

Su Feng usually keeps a distance from the Su family, but when things really get tough, with his father being investigated and arrested, leaving only his younger sister and mother at home, it's impossible for him to completely ignore them.

It seems he takes time out of his busy schedule to go and check on things.

"What time do you finish?" Su Feng asked.

"We should be able to do this before noon," Zhang Yunxia said.

"Then I'll wait for you at the market," Su Feng said naturally.

"Oh, isn't that inappropriate? You go about your business, don't worry about us. We'll find a car or take a bus later." Ye Wenxi quickly waved her hand.

"Forget it, you're not feeling well, don't bother with all that stuff." Su Feng thought, how could a pregnant woman carry all that stuff onto a bus?

"It's nothing, I'm perfectly healthy," Ye Wenxi continued to explain.

"It's settled then. I'll wait for you at the market entrance at eleven o'clock. I should be heading back soon anyway," Su Feng said decisively.

"Okay, thank you, Section Chief Su. Now that we have a car, we can buy more." Zhang Yunxia readily agreed.

Su Feng drove the group to the county market, and they got off the car and headed straight into the market.

The county towns in Northeast China are incredibly lively in the summer.

Stalls selling vegetables, meat, handicrafts, and groceries lined up one after another.

The shouts, the haggling, and the crying of children mingled together, buzzing like a pot of boiling porridge.

The group of people were excited at the sight. Compared to the dull and monotonous life in the military region, this lively atmosphere immediately aroused their desire to shop and their interest in watching the excitement.

Ye Wenxi spotted the stall she had been longing for at a glance.

"Fried cakes! Buy more fried cakes!" she said, pulling the cart towards the entrance.

"That stuff tastes good when it's freshly made, but it doesn't taste good if you buy too much," Lang Yuqin called out from behind.

Suddenly, Ye Wenxi remembered something and abruptly turned to look at Lang Yuqin: "Aunt Lang, do you know how to make fried cakes?"

Lang Yuqin laughed: "Is there anything I can't do?"

"Great! When we get back, let's make fried rice cakes too, okay?" Ye Wenxi said expectantly.

"Sure, no problem," Lang Yuqin replied, patting her chest.
