Chapter Seventy-One: Goodbye!
The next day, Xiaofeng and Zheng Xiuyan visited other famous attractions in Chicago, and Julie and Pete left their own unique memories in Chicago.
On the third day, according to Zheng Xiuyan's plan, the two flew to Alabama, and Zheng Xiuyan wanted to experience rural life in the United States in the remaining eight days.
By the time the two arrived at the town called Kongsler, it was already the night of the third day. The fatigue of the journey did not dampen Jung's interest. The two walked into the town's only bar.
There were 6 or 7 people sitting scattered in the bar, and when Xiaofeng and Zheng Xiuyan walked in, the bartender greeted them affectionately. "Hey, what do you need?
"Give us two whole-wheat beers, we're here to experience life. I wonder if there is a place to stay in the town?" asked Xiaofeng
"It's just a good time for you to come, just in time for old George's 'golden bread' to come out. It's rare for a couple as young as you to come to experience country life at this time. We don't have a hotel here, so you can only ask for help." The bartender shrugged his shoulders after taking two beers for the two
"Thank you. Xiaofeng took a sip of golden beer, and the aroma of wheat blossoms spread in his mouth.
"Kid, looks like you need help. An old American man sat opposite Xiaofeng with a wine glass
"Yes, we want to spend a great week here, but we haven't found a place to spend the night yet. Xiaofeng replied
"I think I can provide you with a place to stay, Sara always thinks it's too lonely to have only three old fellows. The old man smiled and said
"Really? Thank you so much. Xiaofeng didn't expect the problem to be solved like this
"Don't rejoice too soon, I'm conditional. If you live with me and help us with the farm work, is there a problem?" asked the old man, taking a sip of wine
"Of course, no problem, we are here to experience life. Xiaofeng readily agreed
In the process of speaking, Zheng Xiuyan didn't say a word, but just politely greeted the old man in the United States.
"My name is Jim, what do you husband and wife call me?" asked the old man
"I'm Pietro. Xiaofeng replied, and then stabbed Zheng Xiuyan next to her.
"My name is Julie Zheng. Zheng Xiuyan said
"Oh, are you Asian?" asked Jim
"We are Koreans, and we came here to experience life. Xiaofeng said
"Welcome, I hope you have a great time. Old Jim opened the car door and motioned for Xiaofeng to get into the car
"Jim, aren't you afraid that we are bad people?" Xiao Feng asked the doubt in his heart
"Hehe, why are the bad guys here? there's nothing here?" replied Jim with a smile
"What if we're fugitives?" said Zheng Xiuyan
"There are no absolute good guys and bad guys in this world, and Pete gave me a hint of a military feel. And Julie, you're just a little girl who recognizes life. The old man laughed
When they arrive at Jim's house, they are greeted by Jim's wife, Sarah, and another old fellow, a sheepdog named Jimmy. The two of them showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of Xiaofeng and Zheng Xiuyan.
After a brief introduction, Jung so-yeon was taken by Sarala to prepare dinner. Xiaofeng and Jim sat on the sofa drinking black tea.
"Pete, I know you're wondering why I invited you as husband and wife when we first met. You're such a cautious guy. I'll tell you the truth, Sara and I don't have a son or daughter. Because the problem is with Sarah, she feels guilty and keeps trying to adopt a child. But I don't think there's anything wrong with a life where two people support each other, and I often invite people to my house to alleviate that. The effect is very good. Jim said as he looked tenderly at his wife, who was busy in the kitchen
"I'm sorry, but I was too careful. Thank you very much for providing us with a place to stay," Xiaofeng said apologetically
Jim waved his hand and said, "You don't have to apologize and thank you, we will take what we need." ”
"Oh my God, Pete, how do you live? Why doesn't Julie know anything about the kitchen? Don't you all go out to eat?" asked Sara as she came out of the kitchen, followed by a red-faced Jung so-yeon.
"Usually I cook, I'll help and let Julie rest. Xiaofeng replied with a smile and walked into the kitchen
"It seems that your relationship is very good, you must know that it is not easy to get a man to cook for a woman. Old Jim said with a smile
Zheng Xiuyan nodded embarrassedly and looked at Xiaofeng, who was busy talking and laughing with Sara in the kitchen.
"Oh, Jim, where did you get such an amazing guy as Pete? He can cook so many kinds of food. Sara asked in surprise at the dinner table
"In order to let Julie eat delicious food, I have learned for a long time, there is a saying in the East that if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must grasp a woman's stomach, you must know that there are many people who chased Julie at the beginning. Xiaofeng said with a smile
Zheng Xiuyan also smiled reluctantly, but she knew that this kind of life could only last for another 7 days, and Xiaofeng did not belong to herself, but belonged to her own Ten Days Pete.
The four of them ended the dinner in a pleasant atmosphere, Jim and Sara kept sighing about Xiaofeng's craftsmanship, and Xiaofeng blamed the ingredients for being good.
In the evening, Xiaofeng and Zheng Xiuyan came to the house that Jim had prepared for them, and Xiaofeng was very consciously ready to live on the ground for the night.
"You also sleep in bed, you can't sleep on the ground for seven days, and tomorrow you have to go to the farm. Zheng Xiuyan whispered
Xiaofeng thought for a while and lay down on the bed, and soon Xiaofeng fell asleep. In the dark, Zheng Xiuyan looked at Xiaofeng's face, why didn't God bless this man? If he hadn't been sick, he might have pursued him boldly and snatched him from his wife. But if he hadn't been sick, he wouldn't have had so many things happen to me, after all, he's not my man. Jung so-yeon thought for a long time before falling asleep.
Xiaofeng and Zheng Xiuyan began their American-style country life in this way, and they got up every morning to eat breakfast prepared by Sarah. Feng and Jim would go out to work, watering the crops in the fields, feeding the livestock, and resting in the barns and warehouses. Then come back at noon for lunch prepared by Jung so-yeon and Sarah. In the afternoon, the four of them will make a pot of black tea, bring snacks made by Xiaofeng, and come to the small lake not far behind, enjoying the beautiful natural scenery while fishing.
Fishing is the only project that Zheng Xiuyan has not been hit, and Zheng Xiuyan's fishing luck is surprisingly good, and there are always fish on the bait.
On the fifth day at Jim's house, Jim invited neighbors and friends to a small party. As the chef, Xiaofeng is responsible for providing everything related to eating. The main topic of conversation at the party was Xiaofeng and Zheng Xiuyan, and many people said that Xiaofeng was the most ideal husband candidate, so Zheng Xiuyan was very depressed.
Xiaofeng's delicious time quickly conquered the people who came to the party, and many people tried to persuade Xiaofeng to stay in the town. Xiaofeng had a little heartbeat, life here was really easy and comfortable, but thinking of his relatives and Taeyeon and that damn task, Xiaofeng's idea of just emerging was extinguished.
Zheng Xiuyan was also moved when she heard this, whether she could live with her Pete all the time. After these days of contact, Zheng Xiuyan's heart turned out to be a small spark that has turned into a prairie fire. She wondered countless times if she would keep Pete by her side to accompany Pete through the last period of her life, and then guard their children for the rest of her life.
I have to say that a woman who falls in love is unreasonable, especially a woman like Zheng Xiuyan who is proud of the characteristics of a queen. When she recognizes something, she will not care about the feelings of her relatives and friends, even if she is against the world, she will fall headlong.
In the blink of an eye, the ten-day period has arrived, and in the reluctant goodbye of Jim and Sara and Jimmy, Xiaofeng and Zheng Xiuyan get on the bus to the airport. Watching the taillights disappear from their sight, Jim and Sara get back into the car to get ready to head back to town.
"I really hope that the two children can be happy if they give up their attachments. Sara spoke
"Don't worry, Pete is a good hand in all aspects, Julie can't live without him at all, just like a person who is used to living the life of an emperor, you let him be an ordinary person, can he adapt?" Jim comforted
"Go, Julie is as bad as you say, I can see her attachment and happiness in the way she looks at Pete every time. Sara said dissatisfied
"May God bless them in happiness. Sara prayed
"God willing. Jim chimed in
Xiaofeng felt that Zheng Xiuyan had been in a bit wrong since yesterday, and she always smiled like a flower to make Xiaofeng feel warm, but since yesterday, she has a cold face and rarely speaks. Xiaofeng thought it was because she was going to say goodbye to Jim's family and Zheng Xiuyan was like this.
"Where are you going next? The ten-day period is coming. Xiaofeng asked with concern
"Don't worry about it, just do what you have to do when the agreement is completed. Zheng Xiuyan said with a cold face
"What's wrong with you? Let's just come back to see Jim and Sara when we have time, don't be too sad. Xiaofeng persuaded himself to do so
"Hehe, you're you, I'm me. When the 10-day period comes, stop talking as my boyfriend. Zheng Xiuyan said with a cold snort
Xiaofeng also woke up, and the comfortable and peaceful life in the past few days made him deliberately forget his relationship with Zheng Xiuyan, and also forgot the task. Xiaofeng just treats Zheng Xiuyan as her lover, and now she is reminded by Zheng Xiuyan to get rid of her self-deception.
"Hehe, we can be regarded as friends, can't we just treat it as a concern between friends?" Xiaofeng asked embarrassedly
Zheng Xiuyan looked at Xiaofeng deeply, as if she wanted to imprint Xiaofeng into her mind. Suddenly, Zheng Xiuyan hugged Xiaofeng and cried and said: "Don't care about me anymore, don't treat me like a lover, I can't give up everything because of you, and you don't belong to me." Wouldn't it be nice for us to part peacefully?"
Xiaofeng was troubled by Zheng Xiuyan's behavior, and she didn't know if this situation would be considered the completion of her task. But why is there a sour feeling in my heart, and this feeling is still growing and spreading.
"Promise me to go back to your family and wife and not give up on your life. If only I could find you first, you don't know how long I've been looking for you. I will keep my black hair as agreed in the future, and you will also make an agreement with me not to give up the treatment, okay?" said Zheng Xiuyan pleadingly
"I love you, I really love you. Although we haven't been together for a long time, I really love you very much. But I still have my human body, and you still have your life. Zheng Xiuyan said sadly, kissed Xiaofeng lightly on the lips and got out of the car, stopped a taxi and left.
"Goodbye my Pete, the one that belongs only to me, your Julie will always remember you. Remember the memories that only belong to Pete and Julie, never again, and there will be no Pete and Julie again, there will only be me who doesn't know the name and you who don't know the name. Thank you for bringing me 10 days of love, this is probably the most memorable 10 days of my life. Goodbye! Pete, goodbye! Pete. Xiaofeng sat on the plane and looked at the note that Zheng Xiuyan didn't know when.
"The Experiencer's 'Ten Day Couple' quest has been completed. A mechanical voice prompted in Xiao Feng's mind
"Great God, you came out for me, why did you let me do such a task? Why did you let me hurt a woman who had already experienced so much pain?" Xiao Feng shouted frantically in his mind, but the great god did not appear this time.
"This damn task, this damn system, this damn life, this damn love. Xiaofeng, who complained, didn't know that his relationship with Zheng Xiuyan had just begun.
