"I just picked up my car, want to go for a drive?"

Along with the message, a photo of the G-Wagon was also sent.

It's a pity the backdrop wasn't the Forbidden City, otherwise Fang Chen would have definitely taken Zhang Zhenghao out to have some fun.

A short while later, Zhang Zhenghao sent a question mark.

"You only make eight million after taxes, right? And you spent almost a quarter of that on a car?"

Fang Chen thought to himself that he had already spent most of his cash, and replied, "Money is a bastard."

"Alright."

Zhang Zhenghao didn't say anything more.

"Where to?"

"Whatever, let's find a scenic spot to enjoy the breeze. It's the weekend, let's relax and enjoy the scenery."

"Okay."

Fang Chen picked up Zhang Zhenghao in his car, then started the engine and left Jiangcheng.

Big cities have more people and more service industries, so there are naturally more delicious foods and fun activities than in smaller places.

However, in places with good scenery, big cities are sometimes not as good as the surrounding small towns.

The G-Class felt a bit cramped on city roads, but as soon as it turned out of the city and onto the national highway in the suburbs, Fang Chen couldn't help but step on the gas pedal hard, and the wind outside the window became sharp.

Zhang Zhenghao leaned back in the passenger seat, looking at the altitude numbers constantly changing on the dashboard, and laughed, "It's still more pleasant in places with fewer people. Ah, your car is like a mobile fortress when you drive in the city, it's so big when it stops at a red light."

"Hehe, that's the effect I wanted."

"I don't understand."

"You'll understand."

During their casual conversation, the two drove out of Jiangcheng and navigated to a nearby wetland park.

Fang Chen parked the car, looked at the lake and grassland in the distance, and clapped his hands: "Damn it, I should have brought a tent to camp."

Zhang Zhenghao then glanced at the trunk: "Your trunk is so big, and there's nothing in it?"

"I just picked up my new car!"

"..."

Both of them were speechless.

While the most important thing about traveling is getting out, you can't just go out and do nothing.

"I should have bought a deck of cards when I passed by the supermarket earlier."

Zhang Zhenghao kicked a pebble under his feet and glanced at the groups of people with tents pitched in the distance. "Look at them, they're having a barbecue and playing board games. We're just here for a picnic, and we didn't even bring any food."

"Um...it's my fault. I used to just wander around the city without a car, and I got used to not carrying anything with me."

The two were debating whether to go somewhere else or find a large supermarket to buy their things when a sweet, coquettish voice suddenly came from behind them: "Hello, you two handsome gentlemen."

The two turned around at the same time and saw a young girl wearing a floral dress, a light yellow cardigan draped over her shoulders, and exquisite makeup standing not far away. She was holding a brand-new-looking picnic basket and had a slightly deliberate smile on her face.

Seeing the two turn around, the girl raised her hand in greeting and blinked twice.

"We don't seem to know each other, do we?" Fang Chen spoke first, his tone tinged with wariness.

The girl seemed oblivious to the distance in his tone. Instead, she took two steps forward, her gaze shifting back and forth between Fang Chen and the G-Wagon behind him.

The girl said in a soft voice, "I don't know you, but you seem to be here camping too? We have a few friends over there who brought a lot of food and drinks, but we don't have enough tents to set up. You must be here camping too, right? Would you like to join us? It'll be more fun with more people."

Fang Chen felt a bit nauseous; the other person was deliberately speaking in a high-pitched voice, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

The girl's gaze was almost undisguisedly fixed on his car, and coupled with her unpleasant creaking and some incomprehensible little gestures, it all seemed rather clumsy.

Zhang Zhenghao remained silent, simply observing the girl with his arms crossed, as if watching a show.

Seeing that Fang Chen didn't immediately agree, the girl moved forward a little more, her voice even sweeter: "Handsome, don't be so cold. We're all out having fun. We have kebabs and ice-cold beer over there. You didn't bring anything, you can't just sit here, can you?" As she spoke, she deliberately shook the picnic basket in her hand, and it seemed like she could hear the clinking of soda cans coming from inside.

Fang Chen frowned; he disliked these overly purposeful attempts to strike up a conversation.

He pointed to himself and Zhang Zhenghao, saying in a flat tone, "We just came here to enjoy the scenery. We're not camping, and we don't plan to be with strangers."

"Oh, practice makes perfect, it's just making friends."

The girl persisted, even hinting, "Your car is so cool. I've never ridden in a G-Wagon before. I wonder what it's like..."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with anticipation, and she even tiptoed slightly, striking a charming pose.

Fang Chen took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound more resolute: "Sorry, we have something to do, we have to go first." He didn't even look at the girl again, and turned to open the car door.

The girl's smile froze for a moment, as if she hadn't expected to be rejected so decisively.

She bit her lip, wanting to say something more, but seeing that Fang Chen had already opened the driver's side door and Zhang Zhenghao had followed him to the passenger side, she had no choice but to swallow her words, a hint of embarrassment and displeasure flashing across her face.

"Well... okay, sorry to bother you." Her voice was no longer deliberately coquettish, but rather a little resentful. She turned and walked towards a group of equally stylish young men and women not far away, glancing back at Fang Chen's car with a complicated look in her eyes.

Fang Chen got into the car and started the engine: "Really..."

Zhang Zhenghao shrugged and fastened his seatbelt: "We've been to places like this quite a few times before, but this is the first time we've been here like this."

Previously, whenever they went out to play, they would encounter groups of girls traveling together.

But back then, those girls were either busy taking selfies or photos of each other, or they were chatting away and basically ignored people outside their group.

Moreover, they had never seen a boy approach a girl before; this was the first time either of them had been approached by a girl since graduating from university.

Fang Chen sighed: "Yeah, hopefully this is the last time."

"The effect you wanted, that's the result you chose, boss."

"This isn't the effect I wanted!"

The roar of the engine broke the tranquility of the wetland park. Fang Chen turned the steering wheel, and the G-Class smoothly drove away from its original position.

In the rearview mirror, the girl and her friends seemed to be talking about something and pointing in their direction.

"Do you think she just wanted to strike up a conversation, or did she have something else in mind?" Zhang Zhenghao asked thoughtfully, tilting his head and looking at the rapidly receding shadows of the trees outside the window.

Fang Chen drove intently: "What's she after? My car? Or me? I can tell from her eyes that the car is much more important than me."

He paused, then added, "Besides, this damn clamp is absolutely disgusting."

Zhang Zhenghao asked with a mischievous grin, "What if it wasn't a clip? I think that girl is alright-looking, but a bit too pretentious. If she were more normal, would you accept her?"

"Well……"

"Hesitation means yes."

"screw you."
