At the entrance of the Ba County bus station in Yuzhou.
A young man walked out with a little girl who was approximately four or five years old in his arms.
The little girl was carrying a black puppy. She was observing the people around with her eyes wide open. She would cheer every now and then, chirping like a lark. Meanwhile, the young man would respond to her while smiling.
The young man was Ye Chen.
Ever since he left Swallowtail Town, he did not go home. Instead, he flew hundreds of kilometers to Yuzhou and took a bus to Ba County.
Before he came here, he had asked around. The red dot on the map that Gu Fan left behind was Ba County.
To be exact, it was the General Mountain that was located in Ba County.
He was calm along the way. After all, it was rare for him to come out. Moreover, his daughter was with him. He treated it as a father-daughter trip to enjoy the scenery and the people around the world.
"Daddy, where are we going now?"
The little girl was drooling as she looked at the various food stalls at the entrance of the bus station. "I'm hungry. I want to eat something delicious."
"Let's go. Daddy will bring you to eat something delicious."
Ye Chen kissed her and carried her to find a place to eat.
A doubtful voice came from behind him all of a sudden.
"The Heavenly King Overpowers the Earthly Tiger?"
Stunned, Ye Chen could not help but turn his head to look. He saw a tall young man with thick brows and big eyes standing behind him. There was a faint familiarity between his brows.
"The Heavenly King Overpowers the Earthly Tiger?"
The young man repeated.
Ye Chen said while smiling, "The Jade Emperor said the Queen Mother?"
The young man smiled. "The pagoda suppresses the river demon."
"My waist?"
As soon as Ye Chen was done speaking, the young man charged at him.
He hugged Ye Chen and said while laughing, "Old Ye, I can't believe it's really you, you b * stard!"
"Shen Jing, it's been years." Ye Chen patted his back and smiled.
The young man before him was his high school classmate, Shen Jing. His nickname was Psycho. To be exact, they were deskmates in their third year of high school. They were very close. However, Shen Jing transferred schools in the second semester of their third year of high school.
Since then, they had not seen each other for over ten years. Never had Ye Chen thought that they would bump into each other here by chance. If not for the secret code earlier, Ye Chen might not have recognized him.
Meanwhile, Shen Jing had invented the secret code before he transferred schools.
"It hasn't been many years. It's been fifteen years."
After letting go of Ye Chen, Shen Jing glared at him angrily. He then looked at Mengmeng and said, "Damn it, your daughter is already so big. Little girl, come, come. Call me 'master'."
The little fellow snorted coldly and turned her head away proudly, ignoring him.
"This is my daughter, Mengmeng," Ye Chen said while smiling.
"Let's go. It's not easy for us to meet. If I don't defeat you today, consider it my loss." Shen Jing grabbed him and went straight to the nearby hotel.
…
After getting to know each other.
There were more than a dozen empty wine bottles on the table.
Shen Jing burped and said with a flushed face, "Why did you come to our Ba County? Don't tell me you're here for me? "
"No. Since my daughter is on vacation, I might as well take her around." Ye Chen glanced at Mengmeng who was sitting next to him while eating a big lobster. He was not sure whether to laugh or to cry.
'Girl, you're eating so cruelly. Can you not embarrass your father? My old classmate is watching from the side. Besides, your father usually doesn't starve you.'
Shen Jing said angrily, "What's so good about this sh * tty place? It's a barren place. "
"Do you know where Mount General is? I'm here to take a look, "Ye Chen asked in a seemingly unintentional manner.
"Mount General?"
Shen Jing was stunned and chuckled. "What a coincidence. I'm going to Mount General tomorrow morning too."
Shen Jing looked around after seeming to sense Ye Chen's doubt. He lowered his voice and said, "My old man is the county chief. According to him, a lady with the surname Tang came to Gang Province this time. She's back to worship her ancestors, so all the county leaders are accompanying her. My old man asked me to bring them up the mountain tomorrow."
'From Gang Province?
All the county leaders are accompanying her? '
Ye Chen came to a realization and said with a wry smile, "If I'm not mistaken, this Ms. Tang must have a high status."
"You're right. My old man said that her family is considered rich even in Gang Province."
Shen Jing chuckled and sounded rather upset. "But I don't like her. She's so arrogant. Only my old man would try his best to please her and get some investments.
But it's great that you're here. You can go up the mountain with me tomorrow. "
"Don't you think that's inappropriate?" Ye Chen asked.
Shen Jing waved. "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Since it's rare for us to meet, don't even think about leaving if you don't stay for at least ten days to half a month."
Ye Chen could only nod and agree to it. Since Shen Jing was going to Mount General too, he could go with them instead of wandering around aimlessly.
After dinner, Shen Jing brought Ye Chen to his house. Ye Chen secretly nodded. Shen Jing had not changed at all. Although they had not seen each other for 15 years, Ye Chen could still feel his passion for him.
Ye Chen got to know more about the place along the way.
Shen Jing's father was Shen Chongshan. Over ten years ago, he was transferred to Ba County. Shen Jing, who was in his third year of high school back then, had to transfer as well. Over ten years later, Shen Chongshan had climbed to the second-in-command position in Ba County. It seemed like he was going to improve before he retired.
Shen Jing's house was not big, but the decorations were decent. There were calligraphy, paintings, tea sets, and everything was artistic. It must have been Shen Chongshan who had decorated it.
As soon as they arrived home, Shen Jing took out all sorts of delicious food to treat Mengmeng. As time went by, the duo seemed like they had known each other for a long time. The little girl could not stop giggling.
When the sky was about to turn dark, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and holding a briefcase in his hand opened the door and walked in.
The man could not help but be stunned when he saw Ye Chen sitting on the couch with Mengmeng in his arms.
Ye Chen got up and greeted him while smiling, "Hi, Uncle Shen. My name is Ye Chen. I'm Shen Jing's classmate."
"Dad, Ye Chen is my classmate from my third year of high school in Lin City. I bumped into him outside today, so I'm treating him to dinner," Shen Jing, who was standing aside, introduced.
Shen Chongshan took a good look at Ye Chen and nodded expressionlessly. He then returned to his room. Soon, a cold voice came.
"Come in, Shen Jing."
Shen Jing glanced at Ye Chen and walked in while smiling.
Shen Chongshan stood next to the mirror while removing his tie. He said without even turning his head, "Why are you bringing everyone into your house? Also, you actually spent two thousand yuan on a meal today! "
"Old man, how can you say that? Ye Chen is my classmate. He was my deskmate in high school. We haven't seen each other for so many years. What's wrong with me treating him to dinner? "Shen Jing said angrily after closing the door.
Shen Chongshan turned his head and scoffed, "A high school classmate that you haven't seen for over ten years is so important to you? You even spent 2,000. What would people think of me, the county magistrate, if they find out? "
He had noticed Ye Chen's attire since he walked in. To him, his son's classmate was not doing well. He really could not let him be too close to his son.
"What's wrong with me spending my own money to treat him? Do you think people will say that you're corrupt? Eating and drinking with public money? "
Shen Jing was a little mad too. He thought that his father was a little bureaucratic.
"Let him go tomorrow," Shen Chongshan said.
Shen Jing chuckled. "That's not for you to decide. Moreover, I'm bringing him to see Mount General tomorrow!"
Shen Chongshan was enraged. "You bastard! What if Ms. Tang and Master Yao are mad at you for bringing him there?"
…
The duo's argument in the room was not loud, but Ye Chen heard every single word they said.
After Shen Jing walked out angrily, Ye Chen carried the little girl and said while smiling, "I suddenly recalled that I have something to do, so I'll make a move first. Just call me when you guys leave tomorrow."
