After dinner was over, Ye Chenfeng prepared to leave. Zou Linlin had wanted to invite him to her room for a chat, but Ye Chenfeng had politely declined, leaving her no choice but to give up on the idea.
The night was thick with darkness, and the occasional cold breeze rustled the leaves, creating a "shasha" sound.
Zou Zedong, Zou Wenhai, Qiao Yi, and Zou Linlin accompanied Ye Chenfeng outside the house. Zou Zedong offered his driver to take Ye Chenfeng back, as it was generally difficult to hail a taxi in the vicinity of the municipal committee's compound. Ye Chenfeng did not refuse; he was not a person of false pretenses or affectation.
"Chenfeng, come and visit our home more often when you have time. I, the old man, will welcome you anytime!" Zou Zedong sincerely invited Ye Chenfeng.
