Chapter 4710: Qin and Huo’s Additional Story (40)

“F*ck you. Do you know how to talk?”

Unexpectedly, a joke made Wei Dong angry.

Han Xu saw that the atmosphere was a little off and quickly went up to comfort him, “Alright, everyone, stop standing here. Let’s go and play games.”

After all, the boys weren’t as gossipy as the girls, so when they saw what happened between Qin Chu and Huo Mian at the west gate, they dropped the subject.

Wei Dong was the only one who was upset. It was obvious that he didn’t have a good time playing the game that day.

Qin Chu wasn’t as high-profile as when he was driving his own car, nor did he use a car with a chauffeur.

He hailed a cab and left with Huo Mian.

When the driver asked him where they were going, it was like asking a mute…

“Young man, where are you going?”

“Seven Li River.”

The driver was stunned. “It takes an hour to get there by taxi, and it costs around 150 yuan.”

“Just drive.”

Qin Chu was a man of few words, perhaps ever since he was young. The driver knew how far away the Seven Li River was upon hearing it.

He immediately reminded these kids that it was 150 yuan per trip to and back by taxi.

In total, the taxi ride would cost 300 yuan. This was the entrance to a high school, and he was worried that these kids didn’t have that much money.

Qin Chu took out 300 yuan from his wallet and gave it to the driver.

The driver took the money and immediately shut up, smiling brightly.

“What are you going to Seven Li River for?”

“To catch fish.”

“What’s wrong with you? It’s so late at night and it’s getting dark. Catching fish at the Seven Li River…”

“We will be able to rush back tonight, don’t worry,” Qin Chu said.

“That’s ridiculous… no, I have to get out of the car… driver stop.”

“Driver, don’t stop.”

“Driver, stop.”

“Driver, don’t stop.”

“Driver, if you don’t stop now, I’m going to jump out of the car…” Huo Mian leaned over and pretended to open the door.

“Don’t listen to my girlfriend… she’s afraid to jump.”

Huo Mian: “…”

The conversation between the two children almost made the driver burst out laughing.

He thought to himself that children nowadays were really mature.

They were already dating at such a young age.

In the end, she couldn’t persuade Qin Chu, so they ended up at the Seven Li River.

Seven Li River was a village near C City.

There was a river that came down from Wan Ning Mountain not far away. The spring water was very clean and the river water was very clear.

Back then, the tourism sites weren’t that well developed, so the place was still very simple.

After Qin Chu got out of the car, he took Huo Mian to a farmhouse by the river.

It was already sunset.

It was half-past six and the sky was about to turn dark…

“It’s so dark and you want to catch fish? Are you crazy?”

“Night fishing, do you understand?”

Qin Chu glanced at Huo Mian and took the fishing rod from an auntie at the farmhouse.

Then they went to the river.

Huo Mian thought that this rich kid was just playing around.

However, Qin Chu was very good at fishing. In less than 15 minutes, he caught a big fish.

“Auntie Wang, we’ll have the fish cooked the usual way.”

“Yes, President Qin.”

The woman called Auntie Wang was very enthusiastic. She took Qin Chu’s fish and walked in.

Qin Chu got up and started stretching.

“Do you like to eat stars?”

Huo Mian froze…

Before she could say anything, Qin Chu pulled her by the arm and led her to the back of the farmhouse. It was a deserted area filled with weeds.

They followed the dim light of the farmhouse.

To Huo Mian’s surprise, there were a lot of stars.

These things were black and small, like wild grapes. They melted in her mouth and were very sweet.

People in the north called them ‘The Stars’.

It was said that the people from the south called it the Dragon Sunflower Fruit, and some places called it Mountain Eggplant Jujube. This was one of Huo Mian’s favorite foods.

When she was young, she often ate them at her maternal grandparents’ house in the countryside. After her maternal grandparents passed away, she never went back there again and never got to eat these ‘Stars’.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to pick more.” Seeing Huo Mian standing there in a daze, Qin Chu took her hand and led her deeper into the weeds.
