Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 224 The Great Traffic Jam

Nanfeng stopped the car and looked into the distance, only to see a continuous, seemingly endless line of cars stuck in the road.

He stuck his head out the window and looked back. One car after another stopped behind him, and soon Nanfeng could no longer see any moving vehicles in his field of vision.

"Damn it, the elevated road seems to be stuck in traffic," Nanfeng shouted to the four people chatting and laughing in the back of the car.

The laughter and chatter inside the RV seemed to be silenced by a single sentence from Nanfeng.

After a long pause, Guan Gu finally asked weakly, "How long are we going to be stuck here?"

"I don't know. From this high vantage point, I can't see the end of the road ahead, and I can't hear any useful information from the sounds."

Guan Gu clutched his forehead, roaring in despair, "I told you this was an ominous road!"

Yu Mo looked timidly at Guan Gu, who had suddenly started yelling for no reason: "It's just a traffic jam, why are you so agitated, Guan Gu?"

Meijia was teasing the braised pork knuckle with a small bouncy ball when she looked up and explained, "He was just driven around the Central Ring Road thirteen times this morning by some ruthless driver. Otherwise, what do you think he meant by 'Central Ring Road Thirteen'?"

Yu Mo smirked, "Guan Gu seems to have a real connection with Central today."

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu covered his face in exasperation: "So, I'm going to waste this whole day on this road?"

"It shouldn't be so congested that we'll be stuck in traffic all day, right?"

Curry Sauce swallowed what was in her mouth and volunteered, "How about I go ahead and ask what's going on?"

Nanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's observe for a while first; maybe the road will be open soon."

The main problem right now is that we can't be sure how long the traffic jam will last. It would be really troublesome if the traffic cleared up before Curry Sauce could even finish asking and come back.

"What if there's a long traffic jam?" Guan Gu was really annoyed by this middle ring road today, and he asked anxiously.

Yu Mo looked around, then suddenly unbuckled her seatbelt and went to the refrigerator to get a few bottles of drinks.

Thank goodness, at least this time Nanfeng's fridge doesn't just have lemonade.

"If the traffic jam is going to last a long time... then we shouldn't be the ones who's annoyed, right?"

The remaining three then realized what was happening.

There's food, drink, water, and electricity here, so you can go to the toilet anytime you need to.

Even if we get stuck in traffic until the next day, if everyone is really tired, we might as well share a bed and sleep together. Maybe we can even take a hot shower at night.

Isn't this just like being at home?

"Hahaha……"

The three of them burst into laughter instantly, and even Guan Gu showed a bright smile.

"Teacher Nanfeng, you were so prescient!" Curry Sauce gave Nanfeng in the driver's seat a thumbs up.

Nanfeng laughed heartily upon hearing this: "I don't have any foresight. I was planning to drive there for tourism during the Spring Festival."

"And now we've encountered this situation, we don't know if our luck is good or bad."

Guan Gu instantly transformed into a fearless individual: "Now, even if I'm stuck in traffic on the Middle Ring Road for thirteen hours, I won't be afraid."

Yu Mo patted her chest and said with a look of relief, "Luckily, Zi Qiao switched seats with me yesterday, otherwise I would be with Teacher Zeng right now..."

The laughter in the car suddenly stopped.

They're stuck here, fine, we can just treat it as a vacation at home.

Teacher Zeng was rushing to do a show, and it was the very popular show "Ruyu Youyue". Even if he was just late, let alone stuck in traffic, he would be doomed!

Yu Mo urged, "Quickly call Teacher Zeng and tell him it's better to take a detour than to go on the elevated road!"

"It's too late. The elevated section of the Middle Ring Road is very long. Judging from our current position, even if Zhanbo drives very slowly, he's already on the elevated section."

Nanfeng reminded him, "What we need to do now is remind Teacher Zeng to quickly have Zhanbo find any intersection to get off the overpass before they get stuck, while they still can."

"Oh." Guan Gu quickly took out his phone and called Zeng Xiaoxian.

beep...

The call was answered quickly.

"Moshi Moshi, Teacher Zeng, please listen to me..."

Guan Gu was very anxious to tell Zeng Xiaoxian about the traffic jam, but Zeng Xiaoxian interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"Guan Gu, let me tell you, you absolutely cannot imagine what happened in our car."

"It was the first time in his life that Zhanbo expressed his emotions like a man, which was so cool."

"ah?!!"

Guan Gu was stunned. He stammered, "So Zhanbo... he finally made a move on Wanyu?"

"What's going on? What's going on?" Guan Gu's words immediately ignited the gossip spirits of the three girls.

Was Zhanbo really that brave today?

While Guan Gu's side was still on speakerphone mode, Zeng Xiaoxian's side had already turned on speakerphone, so Guan Gu's lewd words instantly entered the ears of both parties.

Wan Yu and Zhan Bo immediately blushed and shouted.

"Guan Gu!!!"

Guan Gu's ears were ringing from the two people's shouts, so he quickly moved his phone far away.

"Guan Gu, let's get down to business!" Nan Feng reminded him from the driver's seat.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Guan Gu put the phone back to his ear, while Zeng Xiaoxian continued rambling, "Guan Gu, this is what happened..."

"Teacher Zeng, please listen to me first!" Guan Gu shouted loudly.

Zeng Xiaoxian paused on the other end of the phone, then said, "Okay, you go first."

"That's right, we're sitting in Nanfeng's car right now."

"Then Zhanbo's speed was really too slow. Even though Nanfeng was driving very slowly, he still left Zhanbo far behind..."

The phone call was filled with snickers and Zhanbo's disgruntled voice: "Guan Gu, did you call just to laugh at me?"

"No." Guan Gu scratched his head anxiously. "I meant we were driving a bit too fast, so we took the elevated road first..."

"Zhanbo, I really wasn't mocking your driving skills..."

Mika couldn't stand it anymore, so she snatched the phone and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"We're calling to tell you that there's a huge traffic jam on the elevated highway right now. You need to find an exit and get off the highway immediately, or something bad will happen!"

"ah?!!"

Exclamations came from the other end of the phone.

After a long while, Zeng Xiaoxian said with a tearful expression, "Why didn't you say so earlier? We just crossed the intersection."

"Can I reverse?"

"Of course not!"

Zeng Xiaoxian cried out in despair, "Now we can only keep driving forward. Hopefully we won't get stuck at the next intersection."

Looking at the navigation map, Nanfeng said helplessly, "Every intersection on the Middle Ring Road elevated highway is incredibly far away. It seems they're definitely going to be stuck in traffic."

"Oh my god." Yu Mo and the other three sighed helplessly.

Guan Gu painfully pounded his head: "It's all my fault. I tend to lose focus when I'm nervous."

"If I could just say it like Mika does, then the five of them wouldn't have to get stuck in traffic."

"Guan Gu-kun, this isn't your fault."

Curry Sauce comforted him, "Maybe this is just a short-term traffic jam, and it will clear up soon."

Despite offering words of comfort, the three women still exchanged glances.

They unanimously decided that in the future, if they encountered such an emergency, they would never let Guan Gu notify others.

"I hope so."

Guan Gu could only hope that everything was as Curry Sauce had said, so that he could at least lessen his guilt.

However, things didn't go as planned, and as expected, Xiaoxian and his friends got stuck on the elevated highway.

The reason for the traffic jam ahead gradually reached Nanfeng's ears through word of mouth among the drivers.

Nanfeng simply went directly from the driver's seat to the car: "Eight cars were rear-ended in front. It is said that there were no casualties, but there were taillights and bumpers all over the ground."

"Both lanes are closed, and it's estimated that they won't be open until the road surface is cleared."

Clinging to his last glimmer of hope, Guan Gu asked, "How long will it take?"

"I estimate at least a few hours."

"That's it, Teacher Zeng is doomed." Guan Gu banged on the table in frustration.

During this time, they kept exchanging information with Zeng Xiaoxian.

According to the information Guan Gu has gathered, Zeng Xiaoxian only has about an hour left, and they are currently 30 kilometers away from the TV station.

Even if Xiaoxian gets off the overpass at the nearest intersection and finds a place where he can hail a taxi or take the subway, it would still be a conservative estimate of about five kilometers.

A normal person can run five kilometers in 25 to 40 minutes. Considering Zeng Xiaoxian's physical condition, which makes him breathless even after climbing Sheshan Mountain...

Ugh.

Guan Gu carefully considered the situation and realized that Teacher Zeng was indeed doomed.

"Understood." Mika thought for a moment, then solemnly dialed a number.

"Meijia, do you have a way?" Guan Gu's heart was filled with renewed hope.

Mika shook her head: "Not at all."

Curry Sauce asked curiously, "So who are you calling?"

"Call the traffic radio! There are prizes for reporting traffic information..."

Before Meijia could finish speaking, the call to the traffic radio station went through: "Hello, yes, it's me again."

"That's right, we've known each other for a long time, so what are you bringing this time...?"

Ignoring the road condition reports, Meijia, Yumo, Curry Sauce, and Guangu all began to sigh.

Yu Mo said sympathetically, "Xiao Xian has finally taken his career to the next level. He's not going to be fired just because of a traffic jam, is he?"

Curry Sauce held her head in her hands, her eyes glazed over: "Teacher Zeng said the day before yesterday that she was going to work for Teacher Nanfeng, and now her wish has really come true."

"That's not necessarily true..."

Nanfeng gave a mysterious smile: "Teacher Zeng should be glad that there were so many cars stuck in traffic today. If the traffic jam hadn't continued all the way to the intersection they missed earlier, he would have been really doomed."

"South Wind, do you have a solution?"

"I wouldn't call it a solution, but I do have an idea."

Nanfeng snapped his fingers and pointed outside the car: "Come with me."

Yu Mo, Guangu, and Curry Sauce all got up and followed behind Nanfeng. Meijia, who had just finished reporting the road conditions, also hurriedly picked up Jiang Zhouzi, who was playing with a bouncy ball, and followed.

Nanfeng closed the car door and led everyone to the back of the car.

"Okay, I understand!"

Guan Gu instantly deduced the truth: "Generally speaking, off-road RVs like these usually have an off-road motorcycle attached to the back. Nanfeng, are you planning to use the off-road motorcycle to take Teacher Zeng to the TV station?"

Nanfeng smiled without saying a word.

Guan Gu truly lives up to his name; he is indeed very knowledgeable.

Guan Gu thought for a moment and then asked, "But if Nan Feng is taking Teacher Zeng to the TV station, the remaining four of us don't even understand the structure of a motorhome. How are we supposed to drive it?"

Yu Mo volunteered, "I have a motorcycle license, I can take Teacher Zeng to the TV station... but I remember that motorcycles are not allowed on elevated roads except by traffic police."

Meijia's bright, sparkling eyes darted around, and she smiled mischievously: "Motorcycles can't go on the elevated road, so what does that have to do with us getting off the elevated road?"

"Anyway, we didn't come up on a motorcycle."

Yu Mo paused for a moment: "I really hope the traffic police will like this word game... Oh well, it's best to avoid the traffic police altogether."

When everyone arrived behind the Digger Zero, a large... was prominently displayed on its tall, electrically operated lifting platform.

Backup plan.

"What?!?!"

Guan Gu, having failed in his deduction once again, looked at Nan Feng in disbelief: "Where's the motorcycle?"

"I didn't buy it."

Guan Gu truly lives up to his name; he is indeed very knowledgeable.

That's why this reasoning has never been correct.

I'm coming

Let's start with a little traffic safety tip: if you're stuck in traffic on an elevated highway, the safest thing to do is to stay in your car and wait. If there's a life-threatening emergency, you can try contacting the traffic police.

Other methods are more or less dangerous or violate traffic regulations.

Pigeon searched for several days but couldn't find a perfect solution to escape from the traffic jam on the highway.

Unless you can call in a helicopter and grab its rope ladder to fly into the sky.
