Will there be a next time for Chapter 193?
Will there be a next time for Chapter 193?
That night, she couldn't sleep, the images of the cruise ship from earlier that day playing on a loop in her mind.
Before she knew it, it was almost dawn, and she finally fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, I woke up to the sound of the phone ringing.
She groggily picked up her phone; it was a call from Feng Jiashu. She cleared her throat and answered, "Hello?"
Feng Jiashu: "Did you just wake up?"
She said, "Um, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly call me?"
Feng Jiashu: "It's getting late, and we have to catch the next train soon. If you're too tired, we can change your ticket."
She woke up immediately, glanced at the time, and quickly got up. "Sorry, I forgot to set my alarm. No need to reschedule, I'll make it. I'm so sorry..."
Feng Jiashu said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay, we can still make it."
She said, "I'm going to wash up now, we'll talk later."
Feng Jiashu: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she tossed it aside, then hurriedly got dressed, washed up, and packed her luggage.
On a chaotic morning, before everyone else had boarded a car to the high-speed rail station, she appeared, dragging her suitcase.
"Sorry, I stayed up late last night playing on my phone. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Everyone quickly said no, but Aunt Chen pulled her along, saying, "We just checked out too, let's go."
As the group stepped out of the guesthouse, they saw two minivans waiting for them outside.
After putting away her luggage, He Qiaoyun was about to get on the bus when Liu Biao stopped her and handed her a breakfast, saying, "Here, breakfast."
He Qiaoyun took it blankly, "Thank you..."
Immediately afterwards, Feng Jiashu handed her a breakfast, saying, "Here, breakfast."
She took it again, saying, "Thank you..."
Once in the car, she opened the breakfast bag Liu Biao had given her. Inside was a serving of steamed buns in an elegant box, along with a cup of soy milk.
Feng Jiashu's portion consisted of a pancake and a cup of soy milk.
The combination of salty and sweet makes for a very satisfying meal.
The food in the car smelled strong, so she only drank soy milk to fill her stomach.
When they arrived at the train station, Chen Jingzhou didn't take the train going in the opposite direction. He had important business to attend to back home and entrusted his parents to them.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen said, "Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves. Go back and get busy."
There were nine people when they arrived, but one person is missing now, leaving only six middle-aged people with a child.
The rest of the journey seemed to be accelerated; they traveled at their own pace, stopping and starting, playing around and having fun, visiting many places, taking many photos, and finally boarding the plane back home.
On the last night of the National Day holiday, they arrived in Haicheng. After spending seven days together, they were both reluctant to part.
Chen Jingzhou came to the airport to pick up his parents and greeted them, "Did you have a good time these past few days?"
He Qiaoyun laughed, "Yes, it's very fun. It's a pity you two aren't here."
Chen Jingzhou smiled faintly, "I've been quite busy. Let's go together next time we have more time."
Mr. and Mrs. Chen also said, "Yes, we'll travel together again when we have time."
He Qiaoyun nodded, "Okay, definitely."
The three members of the Chen family left, leaving the five of them.
Liu Biao had arranged for one of his underlings to drive to the airport early in the morning. He said to He Qiaoyun, "Qiaoyun, get in the car, I'll take you back."
Feng Jiashu's van arrived, and he extended the same invitation, "Qiaoyun, let me give you a ride."
He Qiaoyun was in a dilemma, wishing she could split herself in two so that they could each take their own.
Just then, Tian Tian poked her head out of the car, her eyes still sleepy, and asked, "Uncle, are we going back?"
Feng Jiashu turned around and replied, "We'll be there soon. Why don't you take a nap in the car for a while, okay?"
Tian Tian, her eyelids half-closed, nodded obediently, "Okay..."
He Qiaoyun's place was in the opposite direction from Feng Jiashu's villa. She said, "I'll go back in Liu Biao's car. You guys go back first."
Feng Jiashu nodded. "Okay, good night."
He then got into the car, and the van slowly drove away.
The driver in Liu Biao's car opened the trunk and said to He Qiaoyun, "Sister-in-law, give me your luggage, I'll put it in."
Before He Qiaoyun could hand over her luggage, she quickly denied it, "No, no, no, I'm not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Biao kicked him in the butt, "What are you doing, calling me 'Sister Qiaoyun'? You're so clever."
"Apologize." Liu Biao kicked him again.
The younger brother covered his butt and laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, I just blurted it out. Sister Qiaoyun, please don't take offense."
He Qiaoyun smiled faintly and said, "It's okay." Then she patted Liu Biao and said, "Can't you talk things out properly? You have to resort to physical violence. Really."
Liu Biao, still maintaining his imposing presence in front of his underlings, clicked his tongue and said, "He'll only learn his lesson if he gets kicked."
The younger brother quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, brother is right."
Liu Biao raised his chin. "Look how well it works," he said, opening the back door of the car. "Get in."
He Qiaoyun chuckled and got into the car.
Liu Biao closed the back door, turned around and got into the passenger seat. His younger brother got in right away and asked, "Sister Qiaoyun, where do you live again?"
He Qiaoyun said, "Anning Community, Menzhuang Road."
After thinking for a moment, the younger brother smiled and said, "It's on the way, let's go."
Liu Biao reached out and slapped him again, nitpicking, "What nonsense are you talking about? If it's not on your way, just drop her off halfway and let her walk back by herself."
The younger brother repeatedly protested his innocence, pleading with He Qiaoyun for help, "Sister Qiaoyun, I didn't say that, I just said I was going that way..."
Seeing that he still dared to complain to He Qiaoyun, Liu Biao reached out to hit him again, but He Qiaoyun quickly stopped him, saying, "Yes, he just said he was going the same way. Don't always hit him."
Her words were very effective; Liu Biao immediately withdrew his hand, saying, "I'll deal with you when we get back."
The younger brother wasn't afraid either. He chuckled and tilted his head, saying, "Sister Qiaoyun, my older brother is afraid of you. Mentioning you will make things easier."
"Hey, you—" Liu Biao was furious and reached out to slap him again.
Just as the car was about to enter the overpass, He Qiaoyun reached out and tugged at Liu Biao, "Can't you let people drive in peace? It's so dangerous. Just calm down."
Having successfully dissuaded Liu Biao, Liu Biao gave a soft snort, crossed his arms, and remained silent.
The car drove smoothly onto the overpass. The underling was so happy he forgot all about home. He secretly glanced at Liu Biao's sullen expression and chuckled to himself.
Even the eldest brother has met his match, completely subdued by a woman.
The car fell silent, and He Qiaoyun and Liu Biao closed their eyes to rest.
A short while later, the car stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Liu Biao gestured to his underling not to get out of the car, and the underling nodded knowingly.
He Qiaoyun and Liu Biao got off the car.
Liu Biao took her luggage from the trunk, but reluctantly held it in his hand and wouldn't give it back to her.
He Qiaoyun stretched out her hand for a long time but couldn't get the luggage, and couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing? Give me the luggage."
Liu Biao still handed her the luggage, saying, "Qiaoyun, I'm very happy with this trip."
He Qiaoyun took the luggage and smiled, saying, "Me too."
Liu Biao looked into her eyes and asked, "So, will there be a next time?"
He Qiaoyun's eyes darted away, and she remained silent.
Liu Biao's fingers twitched slightly, forcing a smile, "Never mind, goodnight."
He Qiaoyun forced a smile and said, "Good night."
