Chapter 50: Ha, Men!

Chen Feng wanted to leave, but Wu Mengting stopped him, saying, “It’s such a rare coincidence that we met here. Let’s go together. I already explored this place yesterday, so I’m more familiar with it than you are. I can be your guide.”

After saying this, she specifically looked at Sun Xiaorui and asked, “Sister Sun, you won’t refuse, will you?”

Sun Xiaorui smiled slightly and turned her head to look at Chen Feng. “I’ll listen to whatever he says.”

Wu Mengting’s teeth instantly clenched. A nameless fire surged up in her heart, but she couldn’t let it show. She forced herself to endure it and instead looked at Chen Feng with a sweet smile. “Brother Feng, is that okay?”

Even just for the sake of being from the same hometown, it would be hard for him to refuse, not to mention they had “gotten along well for a while” before.

The scenes of them laughing and talking while touring the attractions of his hometown, Lin’an County, were still vivid in his mind.

“Since you’re so enthusiastic, of course, I can’t refuse.”

Chen Feng quickly changed his mind. If they wanted to gang up on him, so be it. What did a dying man have to fear?

“Haha, then I’ll take you guys for a tour right now.”

This time, Wu Mengting was genuinely happy, and the smile on her face became much more natural.

“You should tell your friend,” Chen Feng reminded her.

Wu Mengting had forgotten again. Hearing his reminder, she turned to Lin Wan and said, “Wan’er, I’m going to show them around first. I’ll contact you at lunchtime.”

“Let’s go together, together.”

Lin Wan had actually been paying close attention to them. Hearing this, she quickly ran over, indicating she wanted to join.

Just now, she had live-streamed their little show for a while and immediately received a lot of donations. One wealthy fan, in particular, had sent her five Super Rockets, asking her to continue streaming the trio. If the effect was good, he would send another five.

As a streamer whose channel usually had average popularity, she certainly didn’t want to miss this opportunity to make money and gain followers.

“Brother Feng, right? We met last time. It’s such a surprise to meet you again here. This is truly fate.”

Lin Wan came up and enthusiastically shook Chen Feng’s hand, then shook hands with Sun Xiaorui and introduced herself.

Her enthusiasm was so intense that both Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui felt a bit uncomfortable.

“As you can see, I’m a female streamer. I came here this time to live-stream. Would it be convenient for you to make an appearance on my stream, maybe a cameo?”

Lin Wan had a fawning smile on her face, her attitude a complete one-eighty from when they first met.

“That might be a bit inconvenient.”

Chen Feng had no intention of making a cameo on any live stream.

Wu Mengting also glared at Lin Wan, signaling her not to make things difficult.

But Lin Wan seemed to ignore her signal, still looking at Chen Feng with a smile, her tone pleading, “Brother Feng, please help me out. It’s rare to meet such a handsome guy like you and a beauty like Miss Sun. Just a little screen time. You can do whatever you were going to do. I’ll treat you to lunch, how about it?”

“Which platform are you streaming on?” Sun Xiaorui asked with some curiosity.

“Douyu.”

“Oh, what’s the room number?” Sun Xiaorui directly took out her phone.

“584903.”

Sun Xiaorui opened her live stream room, watched for a moment, and then smiled at Lin Wan, showing her teeth. “So, a rich fan gave you a donation to stream us.”

Being exposed on the spot, Lin Wan’s face couldn’t help but flush with embarrassment.

Looking at her phone screen, sure enough, many of her “loyal” viewers were gleefully posting comments, exposing her and laughing.

“We can make a cameo. But how about we split the upcoming donations fifty-fifty?” Sun Xiaorui asked with a smile.

Damn it! Lin Wan cursed inwardly.

But for the sake of the upcoming donations from that wealthy fan and the popularity of her stream, she still nodded and agreed, “Fine. It’s a deal.”

Only then did Sun Xiaorui look at Chen Feng with a satisfied smile and say, “Brother Feng, you don’t have any objections, do you? After all, there’s money to be made. A rich fan just gave her a ten-thousand-yuan donation just because he wanted to watch our stream.”

“You’ve already agreed, how can I refuse?” Chen Feng gave her an annoyed look, though he wasn’t really angry.

Sun Xiaorui, of course, knew her limits and knew Chen Feng wouldn’t be angry. She pressed herself even closer to him, half her body leaning against his, and said coquettishly, “Thank you, Brother Feng. You’re the best, Brother Feng.”

This cloyingly sweet tone and behavior made both Lin Wan and Wu Mengting feel uncomfortable, giving them goosebumps.

Wu Mengting said with a hint of emotion, “We should get going. The snow is getting heavier.”

Sun Xiaorui smiled and nodded, “Okay! Let’s go.”

And so, the four of them walked off together.

Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui first went to their accommodation with their luggage.

On their way over, they had already booked a place online. It was a relatively expensive hotel here, not a guesthouse or inn.

Since they weren’t short on money, of course, they would stay in a nice place.

Of course, in reality, the price wasn’t that expensive. A duplex suite of 80 square meters was only 1,200 yuan a night.

When Wu Mengting and Lin Wan walked into the duplex suite of this hotel, they couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Expensive things were expensive for a reason.

Although both of them came from well-off families and their current monthly incomes could be considered white-collar, for this trip, they were staying in a double room that cost just over 300 yuan a night.

That was already better than many but not as good as the best.

But everything pales in comparison. Compared to the duplex suite Chen Feng and his companion had booked, their room was really nothing to look at.

Lin Wan admitted she was jealous and couldn’t help but say, “Isn’t this a bit too extravagant? We spend most of our time sightseeing, only coming back to sleep at night and getting up early the next day. Is it necessary to stay in such a nice place?”

“Yeah. You’re really willing to spend. I thought you didn’t have much money after just opening your car wash back home. Last time, I even had you be my guide to earn some extra cash. And you had the nerve to actually take my money.”

Wu Mengting was even more sour. Although she had expected it, seeing with her own eyes that the two were sleeping together still made her mentality crack a little.

Ha, men!

He said he didn’t want to find someone new, but how long had it been since his divorce, how long since they had parted? He immediately found someone else.

Even though Chen Feng was thick-skinned, he still blushed slightly when she brought up the matter of him accepting the guide fee last time.

However, he was an old hand at this. He quickly returned to normal and said with a smile, “If I hadn’t accepted it back then, I was afraid you would overthink it. You should understand.”

Of course, Wu Mengting understood. Her face couldn’t help but turn slightly red.

At that time, she had sent him the red envelope the day after she left, which was actually a kind of test. If Chen Feng didn’t accept it, it meant he had feelings for her. If he did, it most likely meant he didn’t.

As it turned out, Chen Feng had accepted it. Although he returned some of it, he still took it.

This had made her unhappy for several days.

“Alright, ladies. You’ve seen the place. Let’s go for a tour.”

Sun Xiaorui spoke up, interrupting the little bit of ambiguity between Chen Feng and Wu Mengting.

“Okay. Then I’ll show you around.”

Wu Mengting was annoyed on the inside, but her face remained smiling.

Next, Wu Mengting acted as a guide, taking the two of them on a tour of the Arctic Village.

Most of the houses in the village were single-story wooden structures, with occasional two-story ones, and they were quite large.

It took over an hour to walk a full circle.

It was also lunchtime. As the only man in the group, Chen Feng naturally offered to treat them.

All three women agreed, including Lin Wan, who had previously said she would treat them.

Chen Feng, of course, didn’t hold it against her.

Although Chen Feng didn’t believe that meeting them here was fate, running into two acquaintances at the northernmost tip of the country was ultimately a happy occasion.

Not to mention they were both beautiful women.
