After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Under the big banyan tree at the village entrance, Lan Qingqing and Lin Feng hurriedly got up from the ground.

The first thing Lan Qingqing did after standing up was to turn her head.

"Pah, pah!"

At the same time, he didn't forget to grab his sleeve and wipe his mouth vigorously.

Lin Feng stood to the side watching, his face darkening.

"Lan Qingqing, that's enough!"

"I advise you to stop now. I'm not being sarcastic, why are you so disgusted?"

After saying that, he turned around and left in anger.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, and that the God of Wealth seemed genuinely angry today, Lan Qingqing quickly chased after him to coax him:

"Oh, I didn't mean to be disgusted."

"Your mouth may not be poisonous, but your face is covered in dirt!"

"I didn't say anything, why are you, a grown man, getting so angry?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng slowly slowed his pace and turned to look at her.

"Hmph, that's more like it."

After saying that, he walked to the stone steps, picked up the guitar on the ground with one hand and the thermos with the other.

Then he turned around and handed his thermos to Lan Qingqing.

"Here you go, there's still water inside, it's not hot."

Rinse your mouth.

Lan Qingqing glanced at it only once, then immediately put her hands behind her back, blushing and shaking her head guiltily.

"Let's forget about it!"

"This thermos is the one you drank from; I don't need it."

Lin Feng, who had just been coaxed into a good mood, was now completely ruined!

"Okay, Lan Qingqing, you're doing great!"

After speaking, he nodded slightly in the direction where Lan Yujuan and Chen Mo were standing.

"It's getting late, isn't it? Let's go back to our guesthouse!"

Lan Yujuan watched from afar. Just moments ago, the two were living peacefully together, but suddenly they broke up. For a moment, she didn't know whether to try to persuade them or pretend she didn't see anything.

Seeing Lin Feng greet him, he simply nodded slightly, "Yes, you can leave anytime."

Lan Qingqing patted the dirt off her clothes, looking somewhat dejected, but she still persevered and chased after them.

"Lin Feng, wait a minute!"

"Going back to the guesthouse is fine, but the local guide fee you promised me today will still be settled as scheduled, right?"

"A real man keeps his word!"

Lan Yujuan and Chen Mo stood by the roadside watching the show.

Lin Feng was sulking ahead with a stern face, while Lan Qingqing followed behind, wanting to coax him but unwilling to put in the effort. They brushed past each other and headed towards the Lan family's residence, leaving them both somewhat amused and exasperated.

Seeing the quarreling couple walk away, the young couple followed at a leisurely pace.

Chen Mo gazed at the two figures receding into the distance, and sighed with a soft laugh:

"Sigh, Lan Qingqing is so focused on her career. It seems Lin Feng has a long way to go to win her over!"

At that moment, a sentence suddenly popped into Lan Yujuan's mind:

The right person will appear in your future.

If Lin Feng is truly the right person, then his and Lan Qingqing's desired career prospects should be aligned.

When they left the village, Mr. and Mrs. Lan had red eyes and kept stuffing all kinds of fruits, vegetables and local specialties into the trunk of the car.

Some were things Lan Qingqing liked to eat; some were for Lan Yujuan and Chen Mo; and there was even one portion specifically for Lan Yujuan's parents.

It was full of affection and very thoughtful!

On the way back, Lan Qingqing sat in the passenger seat, thinking about the "trophies" in the trunk, her face full of smiles.

Lin Feng's seat was originally in the last row.

But once the car started moving, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and the seats weren't full, Lin Feng began to subtly move forward.

"Teacher Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Feng was noticed as soon as he moved from behind Qin Shuyi's seat to her side and slightly in front of her.

Hearing the noise, everyone else in the car turned their attention to Lin Feng.

Apart from Lan Qingqing in the passenger seat, who was staring straight ahead with a serious expression, like an old monk in deep meditation.

Lin Feng was extremely embarrassed at this moment, and he tried to remain calm while raising his hand to touch his head.

"Um, I think I'm getting a little carsick, so I'd like to sit in the front."

As he spoke, he quickly moved forward a few places.

At this moment, Li Le, who was sitting behind the passenger seat, suddenly stood up and began to give up his seat.

"Teacher Lin, please take my seat!"

"My seat is near the front, so I don't feel dizzy at all."

After Li Le finished speaking, he scurried away and finally sat down next to Qin Shuyi with a smile.

There was only an aisle between the two of them.

At this moment, Qin Shuyi felt a little annoyed when she saw that smiling face, so she immediately turned her head away and closed her eyes to rest.

Lin Feng was surprised that this young man was so considerate and would give up his seat for him.

As the two passed each other, Lin Feng patted the young man on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Consider it a favor I owe you!"

Lin Feng finally got his wish and moved to sit behind Lan Qingqing.

At this point, he no longer wanted to pretend.

After leaning back in his seat for a while, he started to lean forward, resting his head on the back of the seat in front of him, and groaned in a muffled voice:

"Ugh, my head hurts."

"It seems the bayberry wine we had at noon was indeed quite strong..."

Although he spoke softly and no one else around could hear him, Lin Feng knew very well that Lan Qingqing in the front seat must have heard him.

However, Lan Qingqing ignored him.

Seeing that one plan had failed, Lin Feng immediately came up with another one.

"Tsk, I sang for half the afternoon, and my throat is a bit sore, dry, and itchy."

"What should I do? I've already drunk all the water in my thermos, and I don't have any water in my bag."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Lan Qingqing in front of him couldn't sit still anymore and started opening her bag and rummaging through it.

In less than a minute, a bottle of mineral water that hadn't been opened yet was handed over from the front.

However, Lan Qingqing still didn't speak to him, and didn't even turn around.

Lin Feng waited for a while, and only after confirming that Lan Qingqing really wouldn't turn around and pay attention to him did he silently accept the mineral water.

"Thanks!"

Even after he thanked them, there was still no response from the front.

Lin Feng scratched his brow, slowly leaned back in his seat, then unscrewed the cap of his water bottle, drinking water while staring blankly at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window.

He drank bayberry wine, so it's true that he felt a little dizzy in the car.

I sang for a long time in the afternoon, and my voice hadn't fully recovered to begin with. I also drank alcohol, so it's true that my throat is a bit dry and itchy.

Ultimately, he said those things simply to get Lan Qingqing's sympathy and attention.

With the journey home more than halfway complete, the other passengers in the car began to close their eyes and rest, falling silent.

A new plan came to Lin Feng's mind.

He held the water bottle in his hand and gently touched Lan Qingqing's arm in front of him.

At first, Lan Qingqing ignored him.

Seeing this, Lin Feng persisted and finally annoyed Lan Qingqing.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Lan Qingqing snatched the half-empty water bottle from Lin Feng's hand, turned around and swung it hard three times at his arm.

"Aren't you annoying?! Aren't you annoying?! What exactly do you want?"

Lan Qingqing's loud voice startled everyone else on the bus.

However, everyone just glanced at it briefly, then acted as if it were nothing unusual and went back to their own rest.

After being hit, Lin Feng grimaced and begged for mercy.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

After saying that, he casually took out a cash red envelope he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

"Here, Director Lan, this is your fee for today. Please accept it!"

Lan Qingqing was still holding the water bottle she used to commit the crime.

"Hehe, thank you, boss! You're so generous!"

Lan Qingqing quickly accepted the red envelope, immediately stopped being angry, and her smile returned.

"Boss Lin, if you ever have another good job like this again, please remember to call me!"

Lin Feng sat in his seat, rubbing his arm as he looked at Lan Qingqing, his eyes filled with a mixture of resentment and helplessness.

"Lan Qingqing, you're really something!"

"If I don't pay you your wages now, are you prepared to ignore me the rest of the way?"

As Lan Qingqing opened the red envelope and counted the money in front of him, she said without looking up:

"As the boss, you're withholding wages from temporary workers, and you still think you're in the right?"

"Just before I got on the bus, I chased after you the whole way, asking you questions for ages, but you didn't even acknowledge me."

"What I'm doing is simply reciprocity!"

After counting, Lan Qingqing put the "small salary" directly into her bag.

Clearly, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior just now.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, seemed to have suddenly discovered a "bug" in the game.

He leaned closer to her and said mysteriously:

"If I sent you a red envelope every day, would you treat me this well every single day?"
