Chapter 8, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

She just lunged forward into the seat in front of her due to inertia, and coincidentally, her chest hit the back of the chair. It is uncertain whether her ribs or sternum are injured, as it hurts to breathe in and out now. However, how can one allow others to casually rub this area after such a collision

"Get lost, you scoundrel!" Du Siyu felt both embarrassed and angry, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry

Song Jiahao glared fiercely at Ding Ermiao, then started the car again and drove towards the mountain exit. Along the way, the group fell silent, and the interior of the car was enveloped in stillness

"Ji Xiaoxiao?" Du Siyu's eyes turned: "Oh... I don't know her."

Du Siyu, who was infuriated and ready to retort, was gently nudged by Xie Caiwei, who was sitting beside her. At the same time, a glance was cast her way, signaling her not to act impulsively

Du Siyu was still immersed in shock and wonder, and naturally, Ding Ermiao became interested, unable to resist inquiring about his background and identity

However, due to the sudden braking, Xie Caiwei's body naturally lunged forward towards the front seat. Just as she was about to collide with the back of the front seat, an arm reached across, embracing her with both the arm and chest.

"In your dreams, did they call you a bastard?" Ding Ermiao asked lazily

What?!" Xie Caiwei and Du Siyu were both taken aback, their mouths involuntarily agape.

What they mean is clearly that Ji Xiaoxiao is beautiful while they themselves are ugly! But are they really that ugly? After all, they are a standout at the School of Computer Science in Tianfu University City, right? Usually, there is always a group of boys following them around, and those passionate gazes could roast a sweet potato. Yet, this country bumpkin dares to say they are ugly!

However, Ding Ermiao's attention was clearly focused on Xie Caiwei, as he ignored Du Siyu's questions and instead seized every opportunity to engage with Xie Caiwei.

The car is low on oil. Song Jiahao shrugged his shoulders

"Let us not discuss this any further and change the topic." Upon hearing this, Xie Caiwei already understood the truth behind Song Jiahao's dream, and her heart was filled with many questions and astonishment regarding Ding Ermiao. Additionally, she was concerned that Song Jiahao and Ding Ermiao would argue again

Song Jiahao was taken aback: "Caiwei ... ... ?"

"Wait a moment." Xie Caiwei held the bag in her hand and smiled slightly, "Let me take a taxi to send you to Tianfu University Town. I see this is your first time in the city, and you are not familiar with the way..."

"It's fine, it's fine." Ding Ermiao released his hand and asked Du Siyu, "Light beauty, you sound very pained when you call out. Did you hurt somewhere? I have some medicinal liquor in my bag. Would you like me to rub it for you or apply some medicinal liquor?"

Song Jiahao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and awkwardly said: "It is my fault... Just now, I heard that Ding Ermiao is already married, and I was a bit surprised. I lost my focus for a moment and veered off course..."

Ding Ermiao was unaware that the girl in front of him, Du Siyu, was a first-year student at the College of Computer Science in the university town, about to advance to her second year next semester. However, this girl had started her studies early and had excellent grades, so although she appeared to be a high school student, she was actually already a university student.

"A dog bites Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a good person's heart!" Ding Ermiao snorted, crossed his arms, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes to rest.

I knew you wouldn't recognize her. Ding Ermiao sighed, "How could Ji Xiaoxiao, who is so beautiful, possibly know you?"

Two hours later, in front of the toll station on the ring road, Song Jiahao stopped the car and said to Ding Ermiao in the back seat without looking back: "This is Tianfu City, you can get out of the car now"

"Who are you cursing, you little brat? You bastard, if it weren't for me, you would never wake up from your dreams!" Ding Ermiao glared at Song Jiahao. He thought to himself, it's really impossible to be a good person!

Xie Caiwei and Du Siyu exchanged a glance, filled with astonishment

"Jiahao, don't be like this." Xie Caiwei quickly stepped forward and said, "Actually, you fainted just now. This gentleman... this Mr. Ding Ermiao used some herbal medicine to bring you back to consciousness. You should be grateful to him"

"Tianfu University City?" Du Siyu perked up, stretching her neck over Xie Caiwei and turning her face to ask, "Who are you going to Tianfu University City to see? Tell me about it; maybe I know them."

Xie Caiwei seemed to be concerned about neglecting Song Jiahao, so she asked, "By the way, Jiahao, you just mentioned that you had a strange dream. What exactly did you dream about?"

Is it true?" Song Jiahao rubbed his temples, looking at Ding Ermiao with a hint of disbelief

"The green one is a neon light, not alcohol," Song Jiahao said coldly. Yet, in his heart, he felt an even deeper disdain for Ding Ermiao, deeper than the ocean. Indeed, he was a country bumpkin; judging by his tone, it must be his first time in the city.

He pushed open the car door, and just as he was about to get out, he turned back to Xie Caiwei and Du Siyu and said: "Then goodbye, Sister Caiwei. Goodbye, light beauty..."

Are you alright, Sister Caiwei?" Ding Ermiao asked with concern, holding Xie Caiwei and slightly tilting his head.

Du Siyu was filled with resentment and had no outlet for it, so she vented her anger at Song Jiahao: "Jiahao, what kind of car are you driving?! Do you want to drive us all off the mountain? Do you want to kill us all? Next time, even if you kneel and beg me, I won't drive for you anymore!"

Du Siyu, sitting over there, was not so fortunate; she collided solidly with the back of the front seat, then her body rebounded, and she let out a painful "ouch" while clutching her chest.

Song Jiahao raised his eyebrows and said: "Hey, how do you speak like that... ?"

"Alright, I will get off here." Ding Ermiao was indifferent; he leaned his head out to look at the bustling metropolis outside the window, gazing at the distant city lights, and exclaimed, "Wow, it really is a place of lights and wine? How lively!"

Ding Ermiao snorted again: "What does it matter to you that I have a wife? Just focus on driving your car. Your life is not worth much, but my life is precious. If I were to die in a car accident, Ji Xiaoxiao would surely be heartbroken."

Xie Caiwei is a few years older, and her life experience is naturally much richer than that of Du Siyu. She smiled slightly and casually asked, "So... what is your relationship with Ji Xiaoxiao, the one you are looking for?"

"Well then, thank you," Song Jiahao mumbled, "Why do I feel like this is all a dream?"

"You are talking nonsense... How could they call me a bastard?" Song Jiahao slightly tilted his head, and it was evident that his face turned red.

"Yes, I had a very strange dream..." Song Jiahao casually replied, but suddenly his expression changed as he looked at Ding Ermiao and said, "Oh, why are you here again?"

Regarding the matter of summoning souls, Xie Caiwei could not speak of it, so she had no choice but to fabricate such a lie

Sitting in the front seat, Song Jiahao was filled with resentment, grinding his teeth in anger. How dare this little brat from the mountains sit beside Xie Caiwei, laughing and chatting so freely? Was he not afraid of offending the lady?

You ... ... ! '' Du Siyu's face turned pale with anger

"I am fine, thank you..." Xie Caiwei's face flushed, as Ding Ermiao's arm was resting across her chest. For Xie Caiwei, such intimate contact with a man was still a first.

While driving, Song Jiahao was also startled; he lost focus for a moment, and the sedan nearly veered off the road and plunged down the cliff. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes. The screeching sound of the brakes suddenly erupted: "Screech!"

I am looking for Ji Xiaoxiao. " Ding Ermiao stroked his chin: " Do you know her? "

I am going to Tianfu University Town," Ding Ermiao replied, "I am going to find someone

Ding Ermiao had not yet responded, and Xie Caiwei hurriedly said: "Jiahao, let's go back through the university town; it's on the way. I think we might as well take them to the university town, right?"

In a moment, the inside of the car was bustling with lively exchanges.

"Her, ha ha..." Ding Ermiao said with a beaming smile: "She is my wife"

Du Siyu nodded affirmatively: "It is true, Brother Jiahao. My cousin and I witnessed it with our own eyes; it was indeed this Ding Ermiao who saved you"

"Stop arguing, Jiahao, hurry up and drive," Xie Caiwei hurriedly replied, "It's already past 5 o'clock, and it will be even harder to drive once it gets dark."

After some thought, Xie Caiwei looked at Ding Ermiao and asked, "By the way, where are you going? In just over two hours, we will arrive in Tianfu City. Where will you get off?"

Song Jiahao chuckled awkwardly and pondered before saying, "Oh... I dreamt that I was lost, walking forward in a gray and hazy space. Suddenly, I heard you and Siyu calling me back, and I was startled, waking up from the dream"

After getting out of the car, Song Jiahao moved his hands and feet a bit, confirming that he was fine before sitting back in the car, preparing to continue the journey with the three of them. However, Ding Ermiao was unwilling to sit next to Song Jiahao, so he opened the back door and squeezed into the back seat with Du Siyu and Xie Caiwei.

Ding Ermiao naturally did not take Song Jiahao's words to heart. To him, no matter what Song Jiahao said, it was merely a breeze passing by his ears
