Chapter Fourteen: Light Rain

  Today's temperature is a bit low, the sky is a bit dark, and even the air feels very humid, it seems like it's going to rain.

  Lin Fang woke up early, and when the alarm clock rang, he listened to it for three times before getting up to turn it off. It seemed like he hadn't felt a stable life in a long time, and even he himself was taken aback.

  Or maybe it was the fact that he didn't have a nightmare last night, and instead wandered freely in a snowy world, which greatly relaxed his recently anxious nerves. Or perhaps it's because he's about to go on an outing soon, and this time, unlike any other, he's really looking forward to this trip.

  Having packed his luggage and had breakfast, Lin Fang left the house early, wearing casual clothes instead of formal attire, walking relaxedly towards the bus station.

  Because I went relatively early today, there weren't many people on the bus. Lin Fang also found a window seat to sit down. Not long after sitting down, it started drizzling outside.

  The rain was very light, and Lin Fang saw that the pedestrians outside the car didn't seem to care, continuing to walk, only some goods needed to be covered, and a few people opened their umbrellas, a small piece of cloth blocking the fusion between heaven and earth.

  After getting off the bus, Lin Fang slowly walked towards the company's location. The rain didn't stop either. Maybe it was because of the good dream last night, he felt pretty good and slowly savored the feeling of the fine rain on his body.

  When Lin Fang arrived at the company building, it was already 8:45. There were also some colleagues walking towards the company, and Lin Fang casually greeted them. Although others had gotten used to greeting each other in the morning, Lin Fang still felt a bit awkward about it.

  At the gate, Lin Fang had nothing to do and took out his phone to see if there were any messages on the password he uploaded last time. Although there were many comments, they were all meaningless spam. Only a few people thought deeply about it, but still couldn't figure out what the plaintext was.

  At this time, a person walked towards the company's direction. She was wearing a blue and white jumpsuit, revealing her smooth and slender legs. Her feet were clad in a pair of simple flat shoes. Her long hair cascaded down without being tied up, scattered randomly. Her face had light makeup on, with a faint smile playing on her lips. Her sparkling eyes revealed a lively spirit, exuding the youthful charm of a young girl to the fullest.

  People on the street were also attracted by this lively girl, turning their heads to pay attention. In this area, there are mostly women in formal attire, rarely seen with such youthful vitality. With light steps in the drizzle, charm is boundless.

  The girl walked towards Lin Fang, without paying attention to how others looked at her, and the smile on her face added a bit more after seeing Lin Fang.

  Gently stretch out both hands behind Lin Fang's back to cover his eyes, blocking his gaze towards the phone, and mischievously ask: "Guess who I am."

  "Xiao Hong?" Lin Fang said with a gentle smile.

  "Not again, guess again." The girl said with a pout.

  "Could it be Xiaohua?" Lin Fang couldn't help but hold back a smile.

  "Neither, why are you so stupid?" The girl said angrily as she put down her hand.

  "Leaf sister, good morning." Lin Fang hadn't even turned his head around when he already mentioned the girl's name, Ye Mei.

  "You knew who I was all along, why didn't you say so?" Ye Mei said with a tone of discontent.

  Lin Fanggang wanted to speak, but when he saw Ye Wei at this moment, he was a little surprised, his mouth opened wide and forgot to close it.

  Ye Man was amused by Lin Fang's silly appearance at this time, and couldn't help but laugh. This laughter seemed like three beautiful crescent moons hanging on her face.

  Lin Fang was also laughed at, and he became even more stupid.

  "Still in a daze, huh?" Ye Mei waved her hand gently in front of Lin Fang's eyes, signaling him to snap out of it.

  "Ah, oh, something's different about Ye Jie today." Lin Fang said vaguely as he came back to his senses.

  "How about it, am I pretty today?" Ye Wei said, lifting the hem of her skirt with both hands and turning around lightly.

  "Very beautiful, very pretty, youthful and vibrant, how come I didn't notice before?" Lin Fang did not feel embarrassed or dare not look at Ye Mei.

  "Of course, I didn't wear such clothes before either. Normally when going to work, I would definitely wear formal attire." Ye Mei smiled happily upon hearing Lin Fang's praise.

  The two chatted casually, and time passed quickly. Others who were about to go on the trip arrived one after another, greeting people around them, and also caught sight of Ye Wei's rarely seen beauty, taking the initiative to greet her more frequently. However, Ye Wei just responded casually and continued chatting and laughing with Lin Fang. As a result, others also noticed Lin Fang. Although it was drizzling, everyone didn't mind, enthusiastically discussing their expectations for this trip in the rain.

  At 9:00 in the morning, a small bus drove to the side of the company. Wang Zhuo got off the car and walked to the front of everyone, greeted them, and then let everyone get on the bus.

  There are 8 people in this group, plus the driver, making a total of 9. Lin Fang's group consists of Wang Zhuo, Ye Wei and him. They are currently sitting at the back of the bus. The group in front is led by a woman in her 30s, accompanied by a man and a woman, with Ning Zhiyuan among them. It seems that there are more female colleagues in their group. Ning Zhiyuan also started chatting with his colleagues, and had greeted Lin Fang before boarding the bus.

  The last group was Zhao Tianyu's group, but at this time Zhao Tianyu was not on the bus, only two colleagues of their group, also a man and a woman, were sitting in the front row.

  The fine rain outside hasn't stopped, and there's a bit of moisture on the road, but it's just a thin layer that will disappear as soon as the rain stops.

  The car's speed is very fast, the scenery on both sides, the buildings, pedestrians, and everything else are rushing backwards. As time goes by, the scenery gradually becomes filled with the flavor of rural villages, the scenery is pleasant to the eyes, and this area is a resort area, there aren't many crops, light rain accompanied by clear air makes people feel refreshed and invigorated.

  "Xiao Fang, look, a forest." At this time, Ye Mei pointed towards a patch of forest outside the window.

  Lin Fang followed Ye Wei's pointing direction, where there was a dense forest covering a large area. The rain had stopped and the sun came out from behind the clouds, shining its rays on the lush green leaves, full of vitality.

  "You didn't say you disliked the forest, did you?" Lin Fang said to Ye Mei.

  "I don't like gloomy forests, but now it looks like they're full of vitality," said Ye Mei. "Things in life have two sides to them."

  Lin Fang was taken aback, feeling that there was something special about this sentence.

  The car arrived in front of a villa, and the driver's driving skills were very good. When it stopped, there was no big shock.

  Everyone got off the car, as they came here to play for a few days, everyone brought little luggage, just one bag was enough. Lin Fang got off the car and looked at the three-story villa in front of him. Although he only saw the front, he could feel that it was a European-style villa. There was also a tree in front of the door, which Lin Fang didn't know what kind of tree it was. It grew very luxuriantly and should be very old.

  "The environment here is really good, and the air is so good too." Ye Mei also got out of the car and stretched her slightly stiff body from sitting for too long.

  As Ye Wei moved, Lin Fang once again felt that irrepressible youthful charm.

  After everyone got off the bus, Wang Zhuo and the driver said goodbye, and the driver drove away, explaining that he would come back to pick everyone up in three days.

  Everyone was chatting in front of the villa, but no one entered. Lin Fang watched as everyone chatted, while Ye Man looked around at the scenery with an excited expression on her face.

  "Lin Fang, how are you feeling?" At this time, Ning Zhìyuǎn came over and spoke with Lin Fang.

  "It feels great, the environment here is much better than in the city." Lin Fang also felt a kind of tranquility.

  "Haha, in the future when I have money, I also want to buy a villa and spend my old age here." Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile.

  "Right, why isn't anyone going in?" Lin Fang felt strange.

  "Zhao Tianyu hasn't arrived yet, the team leader is your group leader Wang Ge, we have to wait for him to speak." Ning Zhidi explained.

  "Look, he's coming," Ning Zhìyuǎn said, pointing in the direction they were coming from. A silver sedan was driving over.

  The car's speed wasn't very fast, allowing people to clearly see the silver sedan. Lin Fang didn't know much about cars, but he also knew that this kind of car wasn't something an ordinary white-collar worker could afford.

  The car stopped in front of the villa, a young man opened the door and got out, it was Zhao Tianyu wearing trendy clothes.

  "Hey, Brother Yu." At this time, a girl ran towards Zhao Tianyu's direction.

  "Good morning." Zhao Tianyu greeted the girl and then ignored her, walking towards the crowd.

  The girl didn't pay attention to Zhao Tianyu's attitude either and followed behind him towards the crowd.

  "Sorry about that, Wang Ge, something came up and I'm late." Zhao Tianyu said to Wang Zhuo first.

  "It's okay, just get here." Wang Zhuo looked at Zhao Tianyu driving over, his face didn't show any unusual emotions.

  Wang Zhuo finished speaking and led everyone into the villa. The villa's gate was a one-person-high iron railing, which was not locked on top.

  Zhao Tianyu chatted with their team leader for a few sentences and then sat back in the car, waiting for everyone to go in before driving the car in.

  On the first floor hall, beside a long table.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone will be spending the next three days in this villa. I won't say much more nonsense. I hope you all have a pleasant time. If there's anything, please let your team leader know. This is the butler here." Wang Zhuo introduced the middle-aged man standing beside him.

  "Hello everyone, I am the housekeeper here. You can just call me Housekeeper Sun. Next, I will help you all assign your rooms." Housekeeper Sun's voice was very deep and his appearance was honest, he should be a reliable person.

  "Xiao Fang, what's wrong?" Ye Mei and Lin Fang were on their way up to the third floor when she noticed that Lin Fang's eyebrows were furrowed.

  "It's nothing, maybe you're just not used to it." Lin Fang said to Ye Mei.

  Yemian saw that Lin Fang's eyebrows were no longer furrowed, so she didn't continue speaking. They soon arrived at the third floor.

  The third floor has four rooms, one on each side of the two staircases and two in between. Ye Man's room is by the left staircase, while Lin Fang's is the first room in the middle.

  "See you later, Little Fang." Ye Mei entered the room first.

  Looking at the comfortable and clean room in front of him, Lin Fang felt that someone must come to clean it regularly, but he guessed that few people would use it.

  Sitting on the bed, Lin Fang recalled that when he entered the gate just now, he seemed to feel something, a hint of indescribable flavor towards this house.

  "Bang, bang, bang." Three loud noises shook the entire villa, and Lin Fang's thoughts were also pulled back to reality.

  Glancing at the time, it was already 11 o'clock sharp, I put down my backpack and walked towards the hall.

  But found that others had already come out of the room and were sitting at the long table, where a lunch was laid.

  "Xiao Fang, I was just about to call you down," Ye Man said from the table, her voice a bit loud, attracting some people's attention.

  Lin Fang nodded slightly awkwardly and walked over to sit in the empty space beside Ye Wei. Next to the stairs was a large, old-fashioned clock that didn't seem like a modern product and should have some history behind it; the three loud sounds just now were probably its chimes.

  After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room, with 6 people sitting on a leather sofa and a set of tea sets on the coffee table.
