Take bus No. 8

  Qin Feng, who had been missing for several days, reappeared at the Lin's house. To say that he was missing was in Lin Peipei's words; according to her, disappearing for more than 24 hours counted as being missing. Qin Feng hadn't appeared for several days, so what else could it be?

  Qin Feng rarely dressed casually today, taking off the camouflage uniform that had been with him all along, wearing a V-neck light-colored T-shirt, dark blue casual pants, and a pair of white-edged black-faced sports shoes on his feet. On his lean and robust figure, it was quite fashionable.

  He arrived when Lin Peipei had not yet gotten out of bed.

  Last night, Wen Jia's company had a cocktail party in a large private room at the Maple Hotel. There was plenty of delicious food and fine wine, and they also invited young talents from various companies related to her company. It is said that there were even a few returnees who were high-rich and handsome, so she pulled Lin Peipei to join in the fun. Her motto is: Good wine and good food are on the move, handsome guys are watching, this day is spent, it's called a cool word, not in vain for her youth and beauty!

  Lin Peipei was introduced to many young and talented men, but they were only talented in name. Apart from their high education, their appearance couldn't compare to the wealthy and handsome ones. At most, they had higher qualifications, higher salaries, and a richer family background, but as for being handsome, forget it.

  Moreover, Lin Peipei's family already had two perfect examples of wealthy and handsome men, so looking at these other guys was like looking at weeds by the roadside after seeing too many beautiful things. Little did she know that while she saw them as weeds, they saw her as sunshine and rain.

  Especially when it was said that Lin Peipei was also a beautiful returnee who had just come back to China, the enthusiasm of those unmarried talented men skyrocketed. One by one, they came to flatter her, saying things like "You look so beautiful today" or "The dress you're wearing today is really tasteful". Lin Peipei smiled wryly to herself: What's going on? How do you know I don't usually dress like this?

  Another one came with a wine glass, to celebrate the acquaintance, and exclaimed several times, ah this wine is really good. Before he finished speaking, another one came and said that the music was just right at this time, would you like to dance?

  Lin Pei Pei was fed up and pushed away the crowd of talented men to find Wen Jia, not caring what she was doing, and dragged her out. Wen Jia was pulled out of the door and asked in confusion "What's going on?"

  "This is not enjoyable at all, it's simply torturous! I really can't take it anymore. You've brought me out, so you'd better be responsible for making me happy."

  As soon as they stepped out the door, Lin Peipei let out a barrage of scolding at Wen Jia, completely tearing apart those guys who had just come up to fawn all over her, and her exaggerated expression left Wen Jia laughing half to death.

  "You girl, others can't even get the chance to be treated like a rice bowl by you... This is also my fault, I didn't assign you as a guardian, so now you're willing to die for this gentleman. Speak up, what do you want me to do next?"

  Then, the two sisters opened a private room and started a music party for two. They ordered all the songs inside, regardless of whether they knew them or not, and played the original sound while shouting along with it, making a big fuss. The two were completely different from their usual elegant ladylike demeanor, locking the door as soon as they entered, taking off their shoes, and dancing wildly to the music. When they got excited, they took off their clothes and started stripping. Fortunately, the door had been locked for a long time, otherwise, if someone had burst in at this moment, the girls would have been exposed! Needless to say, if we hadn't locked the door, we wouldn't have dared to take off our clothes, okay?

  The two of them made a ruckus in the private room until late at night before leaving satisfied. Fortunately, Lin Haotian and Qin Feng were also busy to the point of being unable to take care of her; if they knew what happened tonight, it's not certain that someone wouldn't get killed.

  Lin Peipei was woken up by Wu Shulan's knock on the door while still playing chess with Zhou Gong, and got up in a daze to open the door, standing at the door and being coquettish with her mother.

  "Mom... what's going on... I want to sleep some more."

  Lin Pei's room was right next to the staircase, separated by a corridor that directly overlooked the living room below. Of course, people in the living room downstairs could also see the movement upstairs with just a glance up.

  Qin Feng was standing in the middle of the living room at this time, and when he heard the sound, he also looked up. He saw Lin Peipei wearing a short-sleeved sleepwear with small bears and flowers, her hair was messy, and she was rubbing her eyes that were still not open, looking confused.

  "Hey kid, you forgot what you planned with Xiaofeng today? Your brother is waiting for you downstairs, and you're still sleeping?"

  Lin Pei Pei opened her eyes, and with a sleepy gaze, she looked down to see Qin Feng also looking at her. She remembered that they had agreed to go look at cars today. As she took another glance, she suddenly let out a loud "Ah!" and quickly ran back into the room, slamming the door shut behind her. With her back against the door, she panted heavily, scratching the wall in frustration. Damn it, why did he have to see her looking so disheveled? Hadn't she lived these twenty-something years for nothing? Was she even allowed to live anymore...

  Alas, little girl, you don't even have a decent appearance, others have seen it long ago.

  "Hurry up... don't keep people waiting."

  Wu Shulan was also startled by this, and after reacting, she called out to the door a few times. She turned around and apologized to Qin Feng downstairs, telling him to wait, and then walked back into her room.

  Although she felt very embarrassed, Lin Peipei didn't entangle herself in the room for too long and soon came out with her clothes on.

  Qin Feng looked at the woman walking down the stairs with some astonishment, wearing a sky blue short-sleeved puffy skirt that reached her knees, with layers of petticoats underneath, and a tight-fitting top with a large round collar that showed off her beautiful curves and clavicle. She wore a pair of black high-heeled shoes shaped like wine cups, revealing a slender leg, and on her head was a hemp-colored straw hat. In her hand, she held a small red bag, and her face, without any makeup except for some lip gloss, had a slight smile playing on her lips as she walked towards him with an air of elegance.

  "Let's go!"

  It was no surprise to Lin Peipei that Qin Feng was stunned, knowing the lethal power of her dressing up. She took out a pair of sunglasses from her small bag and put them on, flicking her hair back as she walked towards the door.

  Qin Feng came back to his senses and followed Lin Peipei out the door. He walked over to his Jeep, opened the door, and was about to get in when he found that Lin Peipei had stopped.

  "Let's take the bus."

  Qin Feng was somewhat surprised by her proposal, and with a hint of meaning, he looked up and down Lin Peipei, his mouth curling up slightly.

  "Are you sure you want to take the bus?"

  Lin Pei Pei was looked at by him, and she unconsciously lowered her head to look at herself, then nodded very clearly. Alright, since the young lady has said to take a bus, let's get going.

  Wu Shulan returned to the room, sat down in front of the desk, picked up a document and continued reading. The more she read, the tighter her brow became. Finally, she let out a sigh and put down the document. Lin Hongjiang, who was watching the news beside her, found his wife's sigh somewhat strange.

  "What's wrong, what can make you sigh?"

  "Miss Annie's condition is extremely serious, from her medical records, it has reached a point of no return, to put it bluntly, she could die at any moment."

  Wu Shulan turned around and looked at her husband with a frown.

  "So serious?"

  Lin Hongjiang was startled by his wife's tone, turned off the TV, got up and sat beside her, picked up the English medical record, but couldn't understand it, looked up at Wu Shulan.

  "This is Miss Annie's latest case, and judging from her symptoms, she should have been born with it. In theory, this disease can't live past 18 years old, but she's already 20 years old now, which is a miracle. It can be seen that her parents are very concerned about her, and her doctor is also a highly skilled person. With her parents' ability to give her a heart transplant should not be a problem at all, yet it has never been done, I estimate there must be other underlying diseases."

  "Then who did you arrange to take care of Miss Annie?"

  Lin Hongjiang also tensed up, this was a very important matter. Although Annie's illness was not their reason for coming, if something were to happen on their turf, one misstep could affect his father Lawrence's mood. This time, M Province and Moss Corporation had a major development plan to discuss, he didn't want any factors that might affect the direction of the plan to occur before everything was discussed.

  "This time I also had a premonition that the other party would propose to arrange for expert-level personnel to accompany, and the condition should not be optimistic. So I let Mu Siqi go, and arranged for two top-notch cardiovascular nurses to follow along... But now that I know the situation is like this, I still have to come up with a new emergency plan, and also let the operating room side prepare a set of surgical preparations in case of an emergency, and let an ambulance follow along. In case something happens, it can be handled at the first time. The operating room and ambulance side still need your province's coordination... Unfortunately, this case arrived too late, I'm afraid some things may not be arranged properly."

  "I'll make a call to Director Wu of the reception office later, and then have Little Gu notify Dean Liu in the name of the provincial party committee... Does Xiao Tian know about this?"

  "I see, it was him who handed me the medical records last night. At that time, I just took a quick look and told him that Miss Annie is not suitable to follow the business group for sightseeing and traveling around. He left early this morning, probably to re-plan in the office."

  Wu Shulan rubbed her temples, watching Lin Hongjiang's back as he walked out after finishing speaking, then turned around and picked up the medical record, sighing in her heart, poor kid!

  Lin Pei Pei now regrets her proposal of taking a bus.

  When they first got on the bus, since it was the starting point, there weren't many people. The two of them found a spot near the back door and sat down. After several stops, more and more people got on, so they gave up their seats to an elderly couple. They stood by the handrail at the back door of the bus. Several stops later, just as Lin Peipei was starting to feel her feet ache, a group of junior high school students who were going on a field trip got on.

  A dozen or so half-grown youngsters suddenly packed the already nearly full car, and Lin Peipei was squeezed face to face with Qin Feng. Qin Feng's left hand protected her back, not letting the backpacks behind those kids touch her, while his right hand reached up to hold onto the overhead handrail. Lin Peipei's hands wrapped around Qin Feng's waist, holding onto the door handle behind him, and although she tried her best to keep some distance between their bodies, in other people's eyes, they looked like a couple cuddled together.

  The distance made Lin Peipei's face start to burn, trying her best to stand still and not bump into Qin Feng's chest with the car's swaying. People who have taken public transportation know that when the bus is moving, it's impossible to balance your body. Moreover, the carriage was crowded, you can't find a fulcrum to stand firm, it's simply impossible. Every time the bus swayed, Lin Peipei's feet would move with it, and her body would become unstable, Qin Feng could only hold her tighter, making her stick closer to his body.

  Lin Pei's face was pressed against his chest, and through the thin fabric, she could feel the firmness and elasticity of the skin underneath. Her face rubbed gently back and forth with each movement, making her feel like her face was going to be cooked. She secretly raised her eyes to glance at Qin Feng, only to find that he was intently watching the group of children beside him without looking at her, and she let out a sigh of relief in her heart, it's good that he didn't see her, or else she would have been too embarrassed to live.

  The actual situation was that when Lin Pei Pei leaned in, Qin Feng's face had already turned red. However, he was taller than Lin Pei Pei and she didn't dare to look up at him, so she didn't notice anything unusual about him. Afterwards, as Lin Pei Pei got even closer, his heart was racing so fast it almost jumped out, and he didn't dare glance down at Lin Pei Pei, pretending instead to focus on watching the group of children.

  At this time, Lin Pei's heart was filled with regret, it was really looking for trouble, having a car but not sitting in it and running to suffer, regretting until her intestines turned green! But she had to get off the bus, yet when she looked out of the window at the bright sunshine, she couldn't make up her mind, so she just endured it, swaying back and forth.

  Fortunately, after two stops, they arrived at their destination. Lin Peipei immediately used her hat to fan herself wildly, how could she not, people were almost cooked through.
