Chapter 3 - Travel

"I know you haven't been in a good mood recently, so I thought of accompanying you as a friend." Guo Fei rolled her eyes and thought of an excuse for herself.

In fact, she came to look for Yi Ke purely because her parents were going on a business trip and there was no one at home to wash and cook for her. Coincidentally, there was an idiot like Yi Ke, so she brought her luggage to seek refuge with her.

"Oh, then get in the car. I'm not staying at home. I want to go out and relax." Hearing Yi Ke's words, Guo Fei quickly put her luggage in the trunk and sat beside Yi Ke, unaware that she had pressed down on her dress.

Yi Ke frowned slightly and sat a little inside.

Guo Fei's family could only be considered above average. Compared to a wealthy family like hers, it was nothing. Moreover, Guo Fei loved to take advantage of others and would not let go of even the smallest benefit. Now that she heard that she was going out to play, she got into the car without asking where she was going.

Yi Ke looked at Guo Fei's flattering face and doubted her intelligence in her previous life. How could she not see such an obvious villain and still treat her so well?

The car started smoothly, and the surrounding scenery changed from a lush commercial street to farmland in the suburbs.

Guo Fei looked at the increasing number of terraces and realized that something was wrong. She looked at Yi Ke. "This doesn't seem to be the way to the airport."

"Who told you we were going to the airport?" Yi Ke looked at Guo Fei in confusion and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Wan Shi, who was sitting in the front row, saw that his Miss had no intention of replying, so he explained to Guo Fei, "Miss doesn't plan to go too far, so she chose a small village with beautiful scenery to relax. If you don't want to go together, we can stop at the expressway station in front. You can contact someone to pick you up."

Guo Fei shook her head repeatedly when she heard his words. She didn't want to spend money to call a taxi back. If she didn't go far, so be it. A pampered young lady like her wouldn't suffer much. The place she chose would naturally be very good.

The car drove for an entire day before they arrived at their destination in the afternoon. The group alighted on an avenue surrounded by mountains. They lived in a small village in the mountains. Cars could not drive in. If they went further, they would have to walk or rely on oxen and horses.

"Yi Ke, what kind of lousy place did you choose!" Looking at the winding mountain road, Guo Fei complained endlessly. No matter what, she was still a child who grew up in the city. She had never seen such a bumpy dirt road, let alone walked it.

"I remember telling you on the way that you can get out of the car if you're not satisfied. Besides, I didn't invite you. You followed me here yourself. Why are you blaming me?" Hearing Guo Fei's complaint, Yi Ke didn't swallow her anger anymore and retorted.

"You can contact someone to pick you up before we enter the mountain. Don't go complaining about me in the future." Yi Ke ignored Guo Fei.

It had probably just rained in the mountains. The moist smell of soil and the fragrance of grass made one feel refreshed. Yi Ke took a few deep breaths and stretched.

This place was really backward. It seemed that the two protagonists were not doing well.

Guo Fei looked at her. It seemed that Yi Ke had made up her mind to stay her. Thinking that she had not gained anything from this trip, she could only brace herself and choose to stay.

The way into the mountain was not like the concrete ground in the city. Although most of the soil had been stepped on by the people coming and going, it still looked muddy because it had just rained. Guo Fei frowned as she looked at her new shoes and then at the road in front of her. She really could not bear to step on it.

"I've found men in the village, Miss. And horses. We're ready to go into the mountains." Wan Shi had arranged everything and was approaching with a couple of young men, one of whom was leading a dark horse.

Although the horse was not as good as the ones specially raised by the Yi family's horse ranch, she could tell that the breeder had put in a lot of effort. Its fur was smooth and shiny, like satin. The saddle was also clean. It must have been specially polished to welcome her.

The young man holding the horse wanted to help this delicate young lady up, but the next second, he saw Yi Ke skillfully get on the horse. He was momentarily stunned.

Guo Fei looked at Yi Ke, who was sitting on the horse, and then at the other strong men who were helping to carry her luggage. She sadly realized that those people seemed to treat her as a servant. Not only did no one help to carry her luggage, but there was also no horse for her to enter the mountain comfortably.
