Chapter 53: Brothers Reunite!

  Old Wang, with a joyful face, walked up behind Gao Fei, bent down and raised his hand to pat his shoulder, but suddenly felt his wrist tighten, and his body involuntarily swung to the side, scaring him into an "ahh" of surprise.

  Just as the scream had fallen, he stood firmly on the ground again, staring blankly at Gao Fei who was standing up.

  Gao Fei let go of his hand and laughed, saying: "Old Wang, you stumbled, scared me to death. Luckily I was able to grab hold of you in time, or else you would have been done for."

  "Did I just trip?"

  Old Wang scratched the back of his head in a somewhat dreamy manner, and just as he was about to recall what had happened earlier, he heard Gao Fei ask him, "What's wrong? Did you want to see me for something?"

  After hearing Gao Fei's words, Old Wang immediately forgot what had just happened and his face was filled with excitement: "Gao Fei, thank you!"

  Gao Fei laughed: "What am I thanking you for?"

  Old Wang grasped Gao Fei's right hand, gently caressing it as if he were touching his lover's hand: "Of course, thank you for pleading with Director Shen on my behalf. Just now, the head of the personnel department, Su, called me and told me that starting tomorrow I'll be working in the logistics department as deputy director! Ha, it's a deputy director position, with better treatment than I have now, and less work - Gao Fei, Old Wang doesn't know how to thank you, so he wants to invite you to dinner at his home. His daughter will personally cook for you, her culinary skills are...

  "Hehe, it's just what I've been eating all day, and just thinking about it makes me drool."

  Gao Fei nodded: "Alright, next time I have a chance, I'll definitely go to your house as a guest."

  "Then let me treat you to a meal at the restaurant this noon, as a token of my sincerity."

  Old Wang said, grabbing Gao Fei's hand and turning around to leave.

  Gao Fei wasn't used to being pulled and tugged by a big old man, so he withdrew his hand and said: "No problem, but we'll have to wait until lunchtime to go..."

  Old Wang interrupted Gao Fei's words: "It's already past 12 o'clock now, I've looked for you all over the headquarters, and finally it was Lian Xue who told me that you were here."

  "What's going on? It's already past twelve o'clock?"

  Gao Fei was shocked, he really didn't think that he had been squatting here for so long, no wonder when he just stood up, his legs felt a bit numb.

  "Uh-huh, five minutes past twelve. You didn't notice it, probably because of the gloomy weather. By the way, that strong wind and heavy rain this morning looked really scary."

  Old Wang chattered on and on, once again grasping Gao Fei's hand.

  Gao Fei sighed and reluctantly walked into the parking lot hand in hand with him.

  ……

  After lunch, Gao walked into the Xiaochuan office and refused Old Wang's kind intention to make him a cup of tea. He lay down on the sofa and fell fast asleep.

  Don't look at his strong physique, but the intense session with Yan Hong that morning had left him feeling somewhat tired. After all, it was his first time in two years to be intimate with a woman, and feeling exhausted was only normal.

  Gao Fei slept in the office, not only did he not affect others, but also made his subordinates secretly happy: The leader was snoring loudly, how dare they still manage their subordinates for being lazy?

  It was Old Wang who, after Gao Fei fell asleep, gently covered him with his own jacket, causing everyone in the small car to look at him with a mixture of disgust and contempt.

  Gao Fei slept soundly all afternoon and would have continued sleeping if Old Wang hadn't woken him up.

  Everyone is confused as to why Gao Fei can sleep so well and feels that his spirit after waking up seems even worse than when he didn't sleep.

  "Senior classmate, are you ill?"

  Old Wang's face was full of concern.

  "What's wrong with me? I just haven't woken up yet - yawn, everyone go out and busy yourselves, don't mind me. Old Wang, you can leave too, tomorrow I'll go to the logistics department to find you and have some fun."

  Gao Fei yawned and waved his hand.

  "Alright, I'm leaving then."

  Old Wang was in high spirits and said a word to Gao Fei before leaving with others.

  It wasn't until ten or so minutes later that Gao Fei finally sauntered into the parking lot.

  In the morning, he told Shen Yinbing that he had an appointment tonight and wouldn't be driving her around. Actually, he didn't have anything on, he just didn't want to serve that girl.

  Of course, he wasn't doing nothing either, or else he wouldn't have slept for so long to nourish his spirit. But that thing had to be done at dawn, which belonged to tomorrow.

  Yawn, Gaofei raised his head and looked towards the western horizon.

  It's sunny now, the red clouds of sunset make the western sky look particularly charming, and people can't see that it was a storm in the morning.

  "Where shall we go to watch a movie tonight?"

  Just as Gao Fei was looking at the sunset in the west, a girl's voice came from behind him.

  Gao Fei turned around, smiling: Lian Xue was standing not far behind him, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, with a sweet smile that seemed like she had never been unhappy with him.

  Gao Fei clasped his hands together in front of his chest and smiled as he asked: "Where do you want to go watch a movie? We'll go wherever you want."

  She rolled her eyes, slightly raised her chin, and pretended to pout: "Hmph, but I don't want to go see a movie anymore, I want to eat dinner, a big meal!"

  Gao Fei snapped his fingers: "No problem, then I'll invite you to a big meal, but we might have to take a taxi because I don't have a car to drive anymore."

  ……

  Lian Xue said he wanted to have a big meal, but in the end, he chose a small hot pot shop and only spent over 100 yuan.

  This made Gao Fei feel very uneasy, because he had already made up his mind to stick out his neck and take a knife.

  After dinner, the sky had darkened, and the two of them walked hand in hand on the sidewalk like many young lovers, wandering aimlessly forward.

  "Gaofei, where is your home? What did you do before?" Lianxue's hands were wrapped around Gaofei's arm, her forehead almost resting on his shoulder.

  Looking at the neon lights flickering on both sides of the road, Lian Xue asked in a dreamy tone: "Gao Fei, where is your home?

  Gao Fei smiled slightly and said calmly: "Do you know Hope Orphanage?"

  "Hope Orphanage?"

  Lian Xue thought for a moment, tilting her chin: "Oh, I know, is it that orphanage next to Qianfo Mountain?"

  Gao Fei nodded: "Yes, it's that orphanage."

  "Is your home near the orphanage? I've heard that housing prices are very high over there."

  Just like most girls, Lian Xue first thought of the housing prices in the area where her boyfriend lived.

  Gao Fei licked his lips: "Hehe, I don't live nearby, but inside the orphanage."

  Lian Xue raised her head: "Oh, so your parents are staff members of the orphanage."

  Gao Fei shrugged and said calmly: "No, I'm an orphan. I've been living there since I was a kid. I have no idea who my parents are."

  Lian Xue's body trembled, and she stopped in her tracks. A look of guilt flashed across her eyes as she said softly, "Gao Fei, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. It's just a habitual question."

  "Haha, it's nothing. Growing up in an orphanage isn't that embarrassing after all. Moreover, I made a good friend there, a fat guy named Liang Ming. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to that dead fatty..."

  Gao Fei let out a loud laugh, just as he was saying this, his phone rang. He took it out and looked at the screen for only a moment before his face lit up with excitement: "Niangzipi's! It says Wang Ba is coming to see us, and it's Liang Ming!"

  Gao Fei answered the phone with a delighted expression, put it to his ear and scolded: "Dead fatty, no news for so long, did you die in the belly of a foreign woman? —— Ah, it's sister-in-law, sorry, brother deserves to die, mouth full of dung, should be punished by being torn apart by five horses... Hehe, good, are you at the Moonlight Restaurant? At the Wulongtan side? Good, I'll arrive in one minute, bye!"

  Wiping away his sweat, Gao Fei said with a lingering fear: "I really didn't expect it to be my sister-in-law who answered the phone, this is terrible for that fat guy."

  Lian Xue was very surprised and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat for Gao Fei: "How, looking at your sweaty appearance, are you afraid of your sister-in-law? What does she do?"

  "It's not just fear, it's literally fearful to death!"

  Gao Fei let Lian Xue wipe the sweat for him, with a happy face: "I've known my wife since I was a kid, but she's not an orphan, her mother is the director of the orphanage, and we grew up playing together. She's always been good to me too."

  "She's got a bad temper, is really violent and often pinches our ears. Liang Ming and I are both really scared of her."

  "Hehe, your friend is afraid of his wife because he loves her, but you're afraid of her because you respect your friend, right?"

  Lian Xue slowly put down her hands and clenched her handkerchief.

  "I didn't expect you to be my kindred spirit. Actually, I'm also afraid of her. I'm afraid of her because she's been exceptionally good to me since childhood, and I don't dare make her angry."

  Gao Fei grabbed Lian Xue's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you with me."

  Lian Xue hesitated: "I'll go, is it suitable?"

  "I say it's suitable, then it's suitable."

  Gao Fei pulled Lian Xue to the side of the road and hailed a taxi: "Go to Yue Ming Da Restaurant!"

  Yue Ming Da Restaurant is located next to Wu Long Tan, a four-star hotel, which is also quite good.

  Gao Fei and Lian Xue got out of the taxi, and Liang Ming and his wife were waiting at the door.

  Gao Fei saw this and quickly walked over, opening his arms before he even reached Liang Ming's face.

  Liang Ming rushed up and gave him a tight hug, then they punched each other on the shoulder and shouted in unison: "Beast, your body is still so good, even more beastly than a beast!"

  Lian Xue, who was following Gao Fei, was shocked by his words.

  Gao Fei turned his head and smiled at her, stretched out his hand to hold the left hand of the beautiful young woman with a delicate face beside Liang Ming, put it to his lips and kissed it: "Sister-in-law, good luck!"

  "Hmph, considering this girl's sake, I won't settle that account with you from earlier."

  Sister hummed and withdrew her hand: "Gaofei, introduce this sister to me."

  "Continuous snow, continuous heavy snowfall of continuous snow."

  Gao Fei turned around: "Lian Xue, this is my sister-in-law Zhang Yan."

  "Sister-in-law is good."

  Lian Xue slightly bowed and stretched out her right hand.

  "What a beautiful girl, how did she end up in a pile of cow dung? What a pity."

  Zhang Yan grasped Lian Xue's small hand and exclaimed what a pity.

  Lian Xue's face turned red, but her eyes flashed a complex emotion in an instant.

  The blow to Zhang Yan, Gao Fei was already used to it and didn't care. He looked up at the big restaurant and asked: "Liang Ming, is it necessary for brothers to meet in such a high-end restaurant?"

  Liang Ming glanced at Lian Xue, hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying: "It's necessary, because I invited him, not you yourself."

  "Is there anyone else?"

  "When she arrives, you will know."

  Liang Ming didn't say anything either, and wrapped his arms around Gao Fei's shoulders: "Stay here with me and wait."

  Gao Fei slightly furrowed his brow: "Liang Ming, have you run into some kind of trouble?"

  Liáng Míng sighed and said in a low voice: "It's no ordinary trouble - if it's not handled properly, my life might be over."
