Chapter 636: Chapter 348: Distance Creates Beauty_2
Under Wu Mengting’s guidance, Chen Feng spent over an hour shopping, and by the time they exited the mall, it was completely dark outside.
Wu Mengting invited him to her place for dinner, saying she had already informed her parents to prepare in advance, and now they were just waiting for them to come and eat.
But Chen Feng firmly refused. He has quite an opinion about her parents now. If possible, he really doesn’t want to meet them.
Wu Mengting tried to persuade him a few times but couldn’t convince Chen Feng, and she knew that the last meeting with her parents didn’t make Chen Feng very happy, so she didn’t insist.
Chen Feng drove Wu Mengting to her neighborhood entrance and then went to find Lin Yujiao.
It’s been a while since he’s seen Lin Yujiao, and now, knowing he’s about to meet her, Chen Feng couldn’t help but feel a burst of warmth inside.
He’s quite lucky because the city traffic, usually jammed at this hour, wasn’t too bad. In just around ten minutes, he smoothly arrived at the community where Lin Yujiao rented.
He parked the car and quickly went up the unit building, knocked on the door, and within just two seconds, the door was immediately opened.
In front of him appeared Lin Yujiao, wearing light makeup and perfume, with bright eyes and white teeth, smiling like a flower.
"You’re here."
"Yeah, I’m here."
A very ordinary dialect conversation, yet filled with a sense of closeness and warmth.
This made Chen Feng involuntarily feel that, after all, people have emotions, and distance creates beauty.
He can’t often meet Lin Yujiao, and now seeing her again, Chen Feng was excited enough that his heart started to race.
Initially, Chen Feng could maintain an outward calm, but once he entered the door and closed it, Lin Yujiao suddenly actively took a few steps forward and hugged him.
Thus, the long drought encountered the sweet rain, dry wood met raging fire.
By the time they sat down again to talk and eat, it was already over an hour later.
The dishes that Lin Yujiao had meticulously prepared for him had gotten cold and needed to be reheated. After their intense exercise earlier, the food now tasted very delicious.
"Originally, I was worried you wouldn’t be able to come. Didn’t expect you finally came, really happy."
Lin Yujiao said cheerfully while eating.
When resting at the highway service area, Chen Feng contacted her, expressing he would try to see her tonight but wasn’t sure because he was with Wu Mengting.
Lin Yujiao didn’t have much hope initially; however, Chen Feng ultimately came, which was a big surprise for her.
"Haven’t seen you for a while, but this time I find your skin has improved quite a lot, much more radiant. Did you use some new cosmetics?" Chen Feng asked curiously while looking at Lin Yujiao, who was glowing.
"Really?" Lin Yujiao, hearing Chen Feng’s compliment, happily touched her face, "I didn’t use any new products, just about the same as before. In fact, running the business daily sometimes feels tiring."
Chen Feng nodded affirmatively, "It really has gotten better. I felt it smoother just now, and it feels much nicer."
Lin Yujiao’s face turned slightly red, giving him a coy sideways glance.
Chen Feng laughed heartily, unable to resist lightly pinching her cheek. Lin Yujiao shyly dodged quickly and said with a smile, "Alright, let’s eat first."
"Alright, let’s finish eating, and after dinner, we’ll do some more work."
Hearing this, Lin Yujiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes again, lowering her head to eat.
Both of them were hungry, and within around ten minutes, they cleared the table of the five or six dishes. Chen Feng even had three big bowls of rice, while Lin Yujiao had two small bowls.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Chen Feng didn’t drag her immediately to work again but instead held her on the somewhat worn sofa, chatting idly here and there.
They mainly talked about her business once half an hour had passed.
As Chen Feng began to roam his hands over her again, a somewhat untimely doorbell suddenly rang.
"I’ll go take a look."
Lin Yujiao got up and went to the door, leaning close to the peephole to see but with the hallway’s sensor light already off, everything looked dark and unclear, so she called out, "Who’s there?"
No one responded from outside.
Lin Yujiao frowned, thinking someone was playing a prank, then turned around and walked back to the living room.
"No response?" Chen Feng asked.
Lin Yujiao shook her head.
Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help frowning; it was almost eight or nine o’clock at night. Who would come to ring the doorbell for no reason, not responding when called?
Chen Feng suddenly realized the security risks of this residence.
This place is a somewhat old community, at least twenty years old. Though there’s a security guard at the main entrance, he’s around fifty or sixty years old, practically decorative. The iron door beneath the unit building is also defunct, has no lock, and is always open.
Moreover, Lin Yujiao lives alone, is beautiful, and does business, having money.
Therefore, if someone with bad intentions finds out, coveting such thoughts secretly is not impossible.
"The community’s access control here is poor, letting anyone in and out freely; the old man at the door is merely for show. For safety’s sake, I think you should find another place to live starting tomorrow. I’ll help you find somewhere in the morning."
"But didn’t you say your aunt’s birthday celebration is tomorrow noon? Will you have time to accompany me to look?"
"The banquet is at noon. I’ll go straight to the venue at that time, just need an hour."
"Well... that’ll be fine then." Lin Yujiao quickly agreed and explained, "There are too many outsiders renting here, making things complicated. Whenever I come and go, I often encounter some foreign male tenants looking at me with lustful eyes. A man living on the top floor has tried to chat me up several times."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately became a bit angry, quickly asking, "Did he bother you anymore?"
Lin Yujiao did not hide anything and just said, "Last night, he waited downstairs in the unit when I returned, pretending to meet me by chance, trying to get close to me, offering me apples, saying he got them from someone else, too many to eat, giving them to me."
Dammit!
Chen Feng became even more angry upon hearing this and promptly said, "Then, move tomorrow."
Not just mentioning someone hitting on Lin Yujiao, but the fact that there are too many out-of-town tenants here, with apparent security concerns, making it better for Lin Yujiao as a woman living alone to move out as soon as possible.
"Just afraid it won’t be easy to find a place." Lin Yujiao said somewhat worriedly. She had already thought about moving, but firstly, her business was too busy, leaving her with little time, and secondly, it was difficult to find a good place.
"If you’ve got the money, it’s hard to not rent a place. Don’t worry, just rent it annually, and the expense is on me," Chen Feng said generously.
"No need for a year. Who knows what kind of place it turns out to be? Better just rent monthly first. I’ll pay the rent myself. I’m earning quite a bit monthly now, so I can afford this bit of expense."
