for Advance Chapter
After a long journey, the convoy arrived in Guangnan City at nightfall.
Considering that Gu Wanqing and her group had been through life and death in the canyon, they must be physically and mentally exhausted at this time, and those who came to help later were also exhausted from the journey, Young Master Shen immediately decided to have a good rest first. After everyone had recuperated, he would choose a day to hold a banquet and invite everyone, in order to comfort Gu Wanqing and to thank all the friends who came to help.
Everyone felt that this arrangement was excellent and nodded in agreement.
After everyone dispersed, Xia Feng was a little unsure of where to go. Although he hadn't had the chance to get to know this big city in depth, everything he saw along the way seemed so unfamiliar. Xia Feng was excited but also a little nervous.
Gu Wanqing was very attentive and had noticed this a long time ago.
After everyone had dispersed, he immediately walked over to Xia Feng and said, "Brother Feng, I know this is your first time in Guangnan City. You haven't even been to a smaller town before. So I suggest you follow me first, and then make plans after you're familiar with the area."
Although Xia Feng wasn't one to rely on others for survival, he felt truly lost at this moment. Therefore, having someone familiar to guide him would be a blessing. He gratefully replied, "That's great. I hope I won't trouble Sister Gu and Young Master Shen."
Gu Wanqing smiled and said, "We are siblings, why should we be polite to each other?" After that, she pulled Shen Anguo aside and discussed quietly.
Shen Anguo didn't refuse, but he had his own concerns. After all, the Shen family was a powerful family, and it was not appropriate to rashly bring a young man who didn't know where he came from into the family.
So, after some discussion, Shen Anguo said to Gu Wanqing: "I personally welcome you, but I believe you can understand the concerns I just mentioned. Otherwise, we should settle him in the hotel first?"
Gu Wanqing thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea to leave Xia Feng in the hotel. After all, he was seriously out of touch with the whole society, and the hotel itself was a complicated little world. It was estimated that he would not be able to adapt for a while.
After some consideration, Gu Wanqing said, "How about this, I have a good sister named Su Yan'er, whom you also know. She is a teacher at Guangnan University. She now lives alone in a three-bedroom, one-living-room house. I will ask her if she can help me take care of Xia Feng temporarily. By the way, she can also teach Xia Feng so that he can understand some basic common sense and cultural customs of this society as soon as possible." After that, she immediately called Su Yan'er.
The dial tone barely rang twice before the other party answered the phone. A soft and gentle female voice came out, "Good Miss Gu, I don't know where you've gone. I haven't heard from you in days!"
"I'm out on some business. That place is in the mountains and wilderness, there's no signal, so there's no use for the phone. I guess I'll have to send a pigeon to send a message." Obviously, Gu Wanqing and Su Yan'er should be good friends, so she responded jokingly.
"Why, you're back now? Would you like to come over and sit with me and tell me about the strange things that happened this time?" Su Yan'er invited with a smile.
"I can't do it today. I just got back to the city and I'm exhausted. Besides, I've been out for so many days. If I don't go home first, I'll probably get scolded." Gu Wanqing said as she glanced at Mr. Shen, who nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, you should have a good rest first. When you recover, you must come to my place and visit. It would be better if you can stay for a few days so that your Young Master Shen can hold it in." As soon as the words fell, a giggle came from the opposite side.
"Su Yan'er, what nonsense are you talking about!" Gu Wanqing said coquettishly, "Okay, I won't talk to you any more. I called you mainly to ask you to do me a favor."
After a pause, Gu Wanqing continued, "I have a distant cousin who has lived in the deep mountains and forests for more than ten years. Now he has come out to make a living. I can't take him to the Shen family rashly. If he stays in a hotel, I'm worried that he will be isolated from the world for too long and have limited knowledge, and it will make a fool of himself. So, I want to entrust him to you, Teacher Su, temporarily. I will think carefully about how to arrange him in the future and give you an answer as soon as possible. By the way, you are a teacher, so you can help me take care of him and let him have a preliminary understanding of Guangnan City." As Gu Wanqing spoke, a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
She suddenly remembered that she had played the role of "teacher" in the cave yesterday. However, the knowledge she imparted was truly embarrassing. The enchanting scene of last night flashed through her mind, and Gu Wanqing couldn't help but feel her body numb, even her lower body felt a little wet. She quickly turned her head away, afraid that Shen Anguo would notice her abnormality.
"No problem. I, Su Yan'er, will do whatever you, Miss Gu, ask." Su Yan'er was very straightforward, but then she added mysteriously, "By the way, is your cousin handsome? Is he hardworking? I hope he's not some ugly, lazy guy. I wouldn't want to serve him like that."
"Whether he's handsome or not, you'll know when you see him. I like him anyway. He's lived with the elderly in the mountains since he was a child, so his personality is relatively simple. Don't worry, since I, Gu Wanqing, dare to entrust him to you, I won't be afraid of any problems. If something really happens, I have to take responsibility, right?" Although she hadn't known Xia Feng for a long time, Gu Wanqing still believed that her judgment was correct.
"Well, indeed, I can trust the person you introduced me to. Do you need me to pick him up?" Su Yan'er knew her bestie. Normally, she wouldn't ask for help, but since she had asked today, she didn't need to worry too much.
"No need, Yan'er, I'll have the driver take him to your place. Thank you for your help."
"We are sisters, so why should we be so polite? I'll clean up the guest room and wait for him to come. I'll hang up first." After saying that, the two ended the call.
After making the arrangements, Gu Wanqing briefly explained it to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng didn't care where he went; as long as he had a place to stay for the time being, he was happy. He'd left the canyon this time to explore, but more importantly, to find his roots. Hard work and perseverance were no problem for Xia Feng. While in Longwen Gorge, he'd essentially prepared all three meals a day. He had no idea how good they were, but since his master had never complained, he figured they were okay.
Gu Wanqing was incredibly intelligent. She called He Ziqing over, took some cash, and said softly, "Brother Feng, I really want to take care of you myself, but I have some unavoidable difficulties. I can only temporarily place you with my good sister. Don't worry, Sister Su is a very kind person, she will definitely treat you well. I also hope you won't blame me."
After handing the money to Xia Feng, she continued, "Take this money for now, just in case. Tomorrow, Sister Su will take you to buy some clothes. Also, buy a cell phone." Gu Wanqing shook the communication tool in her hand and said, "If anything happens, we can contact each other even if we don't meet."
Xia Feng did not refuse, after all, he had nothing now.
He was also very depressed when he thought about it. It was as if the master had guessed that he would meet someone who could help him. Otherwise, why didn't he make even the most basic preparations for him? Take the clothes for example. Apart from the one he was wearing, it seemed that he had no other spare ones.
Normally in the canyon, if clothes aren't dry after washing, you just hang a piece of animal skin on your body. But in this city, doing that would probably make people laugh. Speaking of money, the master did explain it, but why didn't he give me some spare money?
If he hadn't met Gu Wanqing, would he have been wandering around alone? Xia Feng broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.
Xia Feng was very reluctant to part with Gu Wanqing. They had been inseparable since they met, and being separated all of a sudden made him feel quite sad. However, he also understood that Gu Wanqing had a family and a fiancé. While it was fine for her to be away from home, now that she was back in Guangnan City, she must have a lot of family and other personal matters to deal with.
So, he suppressed his reluctance and comforted Gu Wanqing instead: "I understand, Sister Gu. I also want to thank you for finding me a place to stay. How could I blame you?"
Gu Wanqing was very pleased but also a little sad. If she hadn't been required to live in the Shen family according to the marriage agreement, she would never have entrusted Xia Feng to anyone else, even her best friend.
Although she had only known Xia Feng for a short time, he had been completely selfless and unreserved in saving her. His sincerity, despite meeting her by chance, spoke volumes about his simple character and kind heart. His clear, pure eyes filled her heart with sunshine and hope, and even a bad mood would improve under the gaze of his energetic gaze.
Then I thought again, it's not like we will never see each other again after we say goodbye today. I can go see him more often if I have time. I felt much more relieved.
