Chapter 240: Self-Driving Tour

The white girl finally left with tired steps. However, she didn’t seem to be angry. When she reached the door, she turned around and blew him a kiss with a smile on her face.

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng suddenly felt like he had been taken advantage of.

However, on second thought, he was already a thirty-year-old uncle, and this time he had also experienced a foreign woman. It couldn’t be said that he had suffered a loss.

The next morning, after breakfast, the three women reached a consensus. The next stop was Sicily.

This island was quite famous in China. The most famous was, of course, because of the Mafia, and secondly, because of the movie “Malèna,” which left a deep impression on countless male compatriots.

The four of them had all seen this movie, so after the three women discussed it, they still decided to go to this island.

Of course, this island was also a tourist destination, with beaches, food, and ancient buildings. This time, according to Anna’s arrangement, they rented a car and traveled along the coastline of this island.

Three days later, after the four of them had experienced the customs and traditions of Sicily, they took a plane directly to Switzerland.

It was already April, and this season was very suitable for traveling in Switzerland. The temperature was about fifteen or sixteen degrees, which was very suitable for outdoor tourism.

A long-sleeved shirt inside and a windbreaker outside were enough, which was very comfortable.

This time, when they arrived in Geneva, the four of them rented a car again and started a self-driving tour. They stopped and went, tasting local food wherever they went, and then took all kinds of photos.

On this day, the four of them, Chen Feng, Sun Xiaorui, Wu Mengting, and Anna, drove along the highway of the Alps, listening to songs and singing together, heading towards Austria.

When they came to a relatively remote section of the road, they saw a broken-down car parked on the side of the road. A man and a woman, both white, were standing by the car. The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, and the woman was in her thirties or forties.

When they saw Chen Feng’s car coming, they quickly stretched out their hands and made a gesture to hitchhike.

Seeing this, Anna, who was driving, stopped the car next to the two of them, rolled down the window, and asked them in French, “What’s wrong with you?”

The man on the side of the road quickly replied in French, “My car broke down. Are you going to Austria? If so, we’d like to hitch a ride.”

Hearing this, Anna asked Chen Feng and the other three in Mandarin if they agreed. The two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, had no objection. The two of them were well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament. They didn’t look like bad people at a glance. Moreover, their broken-down car was a valuable Rolls-Royce.

Chen Feng didn’t object to this either, but he still reminded, “It’s okay to let them come up, but our car can only seat five people. With the two of them, it will be overloaded. If we are caught by the police, you will be punished.”

After hearing this, Anna told the two of them the situation, saying that she could take one person first, and of course, the priority was to take the woman.

As a result, the man pleaded, “We’ve been waiting here for more than half an hour, and we haven’t been able to get a ride. The damn tow truck hasn’t come yet. Please do us a favor and let both of us get on. If we are unfortunately caught by the police, I am willing to pay double the compensation.”

The woman also put her hands together and pretended to be pitiful to Anna. Anna was a soft-hearted person. Seeing this, she said helplessly, “Alright, alright. You can all come up.”

The two of them were immediately happy and thanked them repeatedly. They quickly got into the car and sat in the back with Chen Feng and Wu Mengting.

After the car started again, the man greeted them warmly and introduced himself. He said his name was Rick and he was a banker.

The woman, Karoline, was a music teacher. They were originally going to Austria for a concert and a self-driving tour, but unfortunately, their car broke down on the highway.

And what was even more unlucky and strange was that they had been waiting on the road for more than half an hour and had not encountered a passing car. The tow truck they had called had not come yet, which made them anxious.

Missing the concert was secondary. They were afraid that they would have to wait foolishly here until it was dark and still not get a car. What’s more, even if they got a car, the other party might not give them a ride. There was also the safety issue. If they encountered bad people, they would be miserable.

And Chen Feng and the others, a group of three women and one man, didn’t look like bad people at a glance. And it was a car they had encountered after waiting for more than half an hour. Of course, they didn’t want to miss it.

Rick chattered on, and Anna translated for Chen Feng and the others.

Only then did the three of them, Chen Feng, Sun Xiaorui, and Wu Mengting, understand. Wu Mengting tried to communicate with them in English. Their English was not bad, so they communicated at once.

Karoline was a music teacher and usually liked music very much. This time, there was a symphony orchestra concert in Vienna, so the two of them drove there together and also had a tour in Vienna.

Wu Mengting chatted with her about music, and then Rick also joined in.

Although Chen Feng’s spoken English was okay, their speaking speed was too fast, and he couldn’t understand some of it. Moreover, he didn’t know much about classical music, so he could only be a listener.

Sun Xiaorui was about the same. On the other hand, Anna was able to participate in the topic while driving. The few of them had a good chat.

After that, Rick might have seen that Chen Feng was a little left out, so he took the initiative to change the topic and chatted with Chen Feng about things in Rabbit Country. Hearing that Chen Feng and the others were from Xiuzhou, he was very happy and said that he had been to Xiuzhou several times.

He was not lying. He was very clear about some places and attractions in Xiuzhou and talked eloquently, which immediately brought everyone closer.

More than an hour later, the car finally entered the territory of Austria. There was no checkpoint. Since the establishment of the European Union, the borders between these EU countries could be said to be non-existent. As long as you were a citizen of any EU country or held a visa from one of them, you could freely enter and exit any EU country.

However, it was definitely not good for them to enter the city overloaded like this. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome if they were caught.

So, after the car arrived at a small town, they took the initiative to get out of the car. They could rent a car here or take the very developed railway line to Vienna.

Rick and Karoline exchanged contact information with them and warmly invited them to visit Zurich next time they were free, so that they could be good hosts.

After bidding farewell to the two of them, they continued on their way.

In the car, Anna smiled and said, “Guess what their relationship is?”

Hearing this, Wu Mengting couldn’t help but smile, “What’s there to guess? You can tell at a glance.”

Anna smiled, “Are you that good? You can tell at a glance.”

Wu Mengting said with great confidence, “If they were a couple or other relatives, they would have told us when they introduced themselves, but they didn’t. In addition, if they were in a superior-subordinate relationship or a colleague relationship, it would obviously be impossible for only the two of them to go on a self-driving tour together. So, the biggest possibility is that they are lovers.”

“Alright. I admit your analysis is very correct. They should be lovers. However, this Rick looks very rich. He’s wearing a ring on his ring finger, which obviously means he’s married, but Karoline has no ring on her finger. He’s cheating on his wife. He’s a scumbag.”

“Since he’s a scumbag, why did I see you chatting with him so happily just now?”

“I only saw it clearly when they got out of the car just now. We were just guessing before, and it wasn’t confirmed. Besides, this guy Rick is witty and humorous, and he’s a very charming handsome guy. It’s normal to chat with him when we meet by chance.”

Wu Mengting snorted, “Men become bad when they have money. It’s the same at home and abroad.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but refute, “What you said is right and wrong. First of all, men don’t necessarily become bad after they have money. Secondly, it’s wrong for a married man to cheat after he has money, but if he’s still single, it’s human nature to be a little promiscuous. If a woman suddenly becomes rich, she will also very likely fall in love with someone else.”

“Nonsense. Generally, women won’t abandon their husbands and children even if they are rich. Men will.”

“You’re being too arbitrary. It’s a fact that men are prone to cheating after they become rich because they face more temptations. But after a woman becomes rich, if her husband is still mediocre, she will also face more temptations from the outside world, and she will also begin to dislike her current husband in her heart. Isn’t that so? This is a human nature problem, not a gender problem.”

“You’re just quibbling.”

Chen Feng quickly said, “Alright, let’s put aside the dispute. There’s no need to argue about this.”

Anna also quickly took over the conversation and changed the subject, “Let’s not discuss the problem of human nature. Let’s talk about the fun places in Austria.”

Sun Xiaorui immediately interjected, “Yes, we’re out to play. The most important thing is to be happy. For the next stop, let’s go to Imst. I’ve seen it online. The scenery there is very good. There’s also a big ski resort. It’s a pity that the time is a bit wrong. It shouldn’t be good for skiing now. But there are hot springs to soak in.”

So, everyone’s interest was focused on soaking in the hot springs. None of the four of them had ever soaked in a hot spring before, so they were all looking forward to it.

More than half an hour later, the four of them arrived at the county town of Imst, and then checked into the best hotel, which had a hot spring project. Before it got dark, the four of them wandered around the county town. After dark, they returned to the hotel, had a local specialty meal, and then went to soak in the hot spring. After soaking, they felt very comfortable.

The next morning, the four of them visited a few more attractions in the county town, and then set off for the next stop.

At noon, they arrived at another city, had a local specialty lunch, and then visited a few local attractions. After feeling that it was just so-so, they immediately continued on their way to the next stop.

And so, three days later, they finally arrived in Vienna.

As the capital of art, the few of them definitely had to have a good time. They estimated that they would have to play here for at least three days.

On the first day, because of the distance, they went to the Hofburg Palace. In the evening, they also went to the National Opera House nearby to listen to an opera. At the beginning, Chen Feng barely listened for a few minutes, but later, he basically played with his phone throughout the whole process.

Fortunately, their seats were in a small box on the second floor. Otherwise, if others saw him playing with his phone while listening to an opera, it would definitely be considered an insult to art, and he would be a very unartistic country bumpkin.

The next day, they went to the famous Schönbrunn Palace, the second largest palace in Europe, second only to the Palace of Versailles.

From the outside, Schönbrunn Palace was actually very ordinary, but after entering, it felt like a different world. The garden behind was particularly spectacular. There was an audio guide inside. Following the guide to each room and listening to the story of each room was a very good experience.

Of course, many people went there for the story of Princess Sissi. Chen Feng had seen the movie “Sissi” when he was a child, and he had a very deep impression. There were many stories about Princess Sissi in it, as well as some related souvenir shops. There were no other places to sell them. Chen Feng and the others each bought some as souvenirs.

After playing at Schönbrunn Palace for a day, the four of them went to a Michelin restaurant in the city for a meal with satisfaction, then returned to the hotel to wash up a little, changed their clothes, and went to the Golden Hall to listen to a concert.

This time, Chen Feng also got a box, but this time he didn’t play with his phone. He listened to the performance of a symphony orchestra from an African country throughout the whole process.

After the performance, the few of them came out of the main entrance while chatting. After walking not far, they heard someone shouting in Mandarin, “Yang Ziying! You are Yang Ziying!”

The few of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few yellow-skinned young people with glasses blocking a beautiful woman with high recognition.

This woman was too familiar to people in China because she was often seen on TV.

And what made Chen Feng and the two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, feel a little magical was that they had met her before at the Jintai Department Store in Xiuzhou. And now they actually met again in a foreign country, which was really magical.

“Sorry, I don’t want to be disturbed. Can you please move aside?”

Yang Ziying looked at these young people with a blank expression.

“I’m really sorry. We are all your fans. I really didn’t expect to meet you here. We won’t disturb you for too long. It’s just that it’s really rare to meet you like this. Can you give us an autograph and then take a photo with us? Please.”

“Yes, Yingbao, we are all your fans. Please satisfy our request, please.”

“Please, Yingbao, it will be quick. After signing and taking a photo, we will leave immediately. We will never disturb you again.”

…

There were four of them in total, two men and two women. They all looked like international students from China.

Seeing this, Yang Ziying was a little helpless. At this time, she was alone here. She had thought that she would not meet anyone who knew her in a foreign country, and it was late at night, but obviously, she was a little too naive.

Rabbit Country people were now all over the world, not to mention Vienna, the capital of art. Even in African tribes, there might be Rabbit Country people.

In the end, she still satisfied the request of these four international students, quickly signed for them and took a photo with them, and then left quickly amidst their thanks.

After Chen Feng and the other four had watched the whole process, Wu Mengting finally woke up as if from a dream and said, “Ah, we should have gone up to ask for an autograph and a photo. Really, let’s chase after her now.”

As she spoke, she was about to pull Sun Xiaorui to chase after her, but she was stopped by Chen Feng, who dissuaded her, “Didn’t you see she said she didn’t want to be disturbed just now? If you go over now, you’ll just be annoying.”

Sun Xiaorui also said, “We’re not even her fans. What’s the point of getting an autograph and a photo? Last time, we took a photo with Zhang Yuxi and posted it on our Moments. Wasn’t that high-profile enough?”
