"It's okay. Trust the old driver's skills. Even if you do fall, I'll be there to cushion your fall."

Feeling that the car was shaking violently but not about to fall, Xu Hongdou finally relaxed a little and pinched his waist angrily.

"You're just trying to scare me! You're so mean~!"

"Since you didn't call me daddy, I have no choice but to be ruthless!"

"How dare you talk nonsense? I'll strangle you to death, you shameless bastard!"

I'm afraid no one will believe me if I say this. If I wasn't worried that it would be too shocking, Qin Fan would have wanted to remove the front beam and let Teacher Doudou sit in his arms.

Driving like that is really exciting!

After playing for a while, Qin Fan rode more steadily while holding Xu Hongdou. Xu Hongdou leaned in Qin Fan's arms and took out her cell phone, pointing it at Erhai Lake.

"What are you doing? Driving a car and recording a video? Are you trying to pay tribute to Teacher Chen?"

"My parents always ask me how I'm doing here, so I record a video and send it to them."

"I'm about to face the scrutiny of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. What do you think of my hairstyle? Is my skin oily?"

"Who is your father-in-law? Don't try to make connections."

Xu Hongdou deliberately messed up Qin Fan's hair as if to play a prank.

"Not bad, quite sharp!"

"Hold on, I'm going to start recording."

Xu Hongdou turned on the video and began to introduce the scenery nearby.

"...This is Erhai Lake. The afternoon sun shines on the water, making it sparkle with golden light. Isn't the scenery beautiful? That's Cangshan Mountain in the distance. It's so majestic and spectacular. There's still some snow on the mountain, but it's not very clear in the video..."

After recording the scenery, Xu Hongdou turned the camera to Qin Fan.

"This is a friend I met here, Qin Fan, also a traveler from Shanghai. He lives in the room next to me. He's a bad, mean guy, a total hooligan."

At this moment, Xu Hongdou noticed Qin Fan's raised hands and asked curiously, "Why are you raising your hands so high?"

"Prove your innocence!"

Qin Fan complained, "Sister, you're already thirty-two, and I'm only twenty-three. Do you know how dangerous you are in my eyes? How dare you call me a little hooligan?"

The original drama did not directly state Xu Hongdou's age, but it can be inferred from three details.

Xu Hongdou said that her sister Xu Hongmi is five years older than her.

Xu Hongdou's father Xu Jianguo said that the two sisters are nearly seventy years old in total.

From this, it can be calculated that Xu Hongdou’s age is no more than 32 years old.

Xu Hongdou said that she had worked in the hotel industry for more than ten years.

If we calculate based on the fact that he graduated from university at the age of 22, this statement is obviously an exaggeration. Even if he entered the hotel right after graduation, he would have only worked for ten years at most, unless Xu Hongdou skipped a grade.

Another detail is that Chen Nanxing died at the age of 31, and she and Xu Hongdou were college classmates. The age difference between them was not too big, only one or two years at most.

If we roughly calculate based on the minimum working age mentioned by Xu Hongdou, she has worked for ten years after graduation, so Xu Hongdou should be at least 32 years old.

Xu Hongdou was surprised. "You're only twenty-three? That's impossible!"

"That's right! When I found out there was a young lady living next door, and she was always looking at me with her eyes half closed, you don't know how scared I was. Every night before going to bed, I had to check the wall over and over again, fearing you'd chisel a hole in it and peek at me..."

Before Qin Fan could finish speaking, Xu Hongdou covered his mouth again.

"Dad, Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. This bastard just loves to talk nonsense. I've never looked at him with a dirty look in my eyes. On the contrary, he always acts greasy. Everyone in this courtyard can testify to that."

Qin Fan pried Xu Hongdou's hands apart. "Hello, uncle and auntie. My name is Qin Fan. I came here because I was forced to do so. I have no choice. The girls in the Magic City are too enthusiastic. I was almost killed by them when I was walking on the street before."

"I have no choice but to hide in Yunmiao Village and survive. I hope that in a few years I will get some wrinkles and my appearance will decline a little."

"I'm afraid you won't believe me, but I was actually quite ugly when I was little. I don't know why I've gotten more and more handsome the older I get. It's almost annoying me. Have you seen my hairstyle? Doudou said he was afraid my looks would surprise you, so he messed up my hair on purpose..."

Xu Hongdou was helpless. "Now you know how crazy he is, right? Well, I won't talk to you anymore. We'll talk next time."

After recording the video, Xu Hongdou sent it directly to the family group.

My parents and sister were all shocked. They opened a group chat and had a heated discussion about whether a relationship that was missing three gold bricks could last. As family members, should they support or oppose it?

Qin Fan drove Xu Hongdou around, returned to the village, and stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

"How is it? Isn't it pleasant to take a drive along Erhai Lake?"

"Not bad, you're thoughtful."

Xu Hongdou was quite satisfied with Qin Fan's performance. Knowing that he had made her angry, she went to the town to buy a bicycle and took her for a ride.

Since he cared about me so much, I reluctantly forgave him.

Who made me, Xu Hongdou, a woman of tolerance and generosity?

Qin Fan nodded. "I was worried that Nana wouldn't like bicycles, but your comments put my mind at ease. I'll pick Nana up from get off work later and take her for a ride."

Xu Hongdou's anger suddenly rose, and she asked through gritted teeth, "Did you buy this car to pick up Nana from get off work?"

"Yes! You don't think I bought the bicycle for you, do you?"

"Oh, look at this misunderstanding. I'm so embarrassed."

Even though she knew that Qin Fan was deliberately trying to piss her off and that the angrier she was, the happier he would be, Xu Hongdou still couldn't control her anger and stormed into the yard.

Qin Fan chased in, "Doudou, don't be angry, how about I go to town and buy a car tomorrow?"

"Get lost! If I ever bother with you again I'll be a dog!"

"Dogs are so innocent, how can you slander them like this?"

"..."

Xu Hongdou's face was gloomy. Without saying a word, she went upstairs and walked back to her room.

Zhou Qingtian was teasing the kitten with the cat toy that Xu Hongdou had made a few days ago. Seeing that Xu Hongdou was angered and ran away by Qin Fan again, he couldn't help but feel amused.

"How did you offend her again?"

When it comes to this matter, Qin Fan has something to say!

"Da Mai, you have no idea how wronged I am. Did you see that bicycle? I went to town today to buy it and took Doudou for a ride on the beach. Guess what happened?"

"She was quite happy when we were going for a ride, but when we got back, she got all worked up and insisted I bought the bike to take Nana to get off work. That's totally unreasonable!"

"Do you think I'm wronged?"

Zhou Qingtian was about to say something when he suddenly found Xu Hongdou running down from upstairs with a broom in her hand. She had obviously heard Qin Fan's distortion of the truth.

"Qin Fan, I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard!"

"Look, look, it's happening again!"

Qin Fan didn't say anything, pulled Zhou Qingtian and ran out. Before running out of the yard, he picked up the bicycle.

He ran out of the village holding Zhou Qingtian's hand with his left hand and carrying the bicycle with his right hand.

"Qin Fan, stop now, I can't take it anymore!"

As a stay-at-home girl, Zhou Qingtian hasn't done such strenuous exercise for many years. She was almost dragged to the ground by Qin Fan just now.

At this moment, he put his hands on his waist and gasped for breath.

"Huh! Hongdou is going to hit you... What are you doing? Why do you have to drag me into this?"

"I'm afraid you might get hurt."

"Then thank you very much!"

After gasping for a while, Zhou Qingtian barely came back to life. He wiped his face with his hand and found that his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Da Mai, your physical condition is not good. You feel like you're dying after running such a short distance. You look like you're about to die. Your body is too weak."

Zhou Qingtian's face fell. "I know that staying in my room for so long has caused my physical fitness to decline significantly, but my willpower is too weak. I won't be able to hold on for more than a few days before I'll be back to my old ways."

"When it comes to exercising, you still need a certain amount of self-discipline. Well, we're neighbors after all. I'll come and exercise with you from now on, and today's the perfect time to start."

Qin Fan pedaled, waved to Zhou Qingtian, and slowly rode his bicycle onto the road.

Zhou Qingtian was stunned. Didn’t you agree to exercise with me?

Why is he riding a bike and me running?

310: Zhou Qingtian’s heart pounded! “Ugh… you devil!”

Qin Fan turned around and noticed Zhou Qingtian standing motionless at the entrance of the village, so he shouted at her again.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and catch up!"

"hold head high!"

Zhou Qingtian had no choice but to jog after him.

This girl is not only socially anxious, but also has no opinion of her own. When she meets someone like Qin Fan who has a lot of ideas, she can only follow their lead.

Qin Fan deliberately slowed down and rode beside her unsteadily. Occasionally, when he saw that Zhou Qingtian could not run anymore, he would say some encouraging words.

Among the three women in the courtyard, Zhou Qingtian is the only one who has not been bombarded with dirty talk.

The main reason is that her psychological quality is relatively poor. If Qin Fan teases her, this girl will probably break up with him on the spot.

After persisting for about ten minutes, Zhou Qingtian really couldn't run anymore, so he sat down on the curb, gasping for breath.

"I can't do it anymore. Let's stop here today."

"Not bad, I ran almost a kilometer, which is a good start."

Qin Fan parked his bicycle aside and sat side by side with Zhou Qingtian.

"Thank you. If you hadn't encouraged me along the way, I might not have been able to last even 200 meters."

"Don't be so polite. In fact, you can make a plan for yourself. For example, if you run a kilometer today, you can run an extra 100 meters tomorrow. Increase your exercise a little bit every day and break through yourself little by little."

"You have such good physical fitness, is this how you train?"

Zhou Qingtian tilted his head and looked at Qin Fan.

"Well...I hardly ever practice. It's all based on my natural talent."

Zhou Qingtian's face was filled with disbelief. "So, your eight-pack abs are purely natural?"

Qin Fan was very surprised. "How do you know I have eight-pack abs?"

"Nana told me. She said that she happened to see you climbing through my window that day."

Zhou Qingtian blushed immediately and spoke unnaturally.

Qin Fan gave her a pat on the head and said, "You two little naive girls, tell me the truth, have you ever fantasized about me?"

Zhou Qingtian shook his head. "No way! Stop being so narcissistic. Who would fantasize about you?"

"Really not?"

"Really not!"

"Look me in the eyes and say no."

"I don't want to see..."

"You're a shy girl indeed. You're the type who appears quiet but is actually quite reserved and flirtatious, right? Also, if online writers like you aren't flirtatious enough and your thoughts aren't wild enough, where would you get so much inspiration?"

Zhou Qingtian finally understood how Xu Hongdou and Lin Na felt when facing Qin Fan.

If she hadn't been exhausted, she really wanted to leave.

"You're the one who's stuffy!"

"I'm not reserved, I'm openly flirty."

Zhou Qingtian was speechless. "Are you not ashamed of this, but proud of it?"

Qin Fan shrugged. "I'm neither ashamed nor proud of it. I am who I am and never try to hide it. What others think of me is their business. It has nothing to do with me."

Looking at Qin Fan's confident face, Zhou Qingtian suddenly felt a little envious of him.

"You are so clear-headed. I wish I could have such a good attitude like yours."

"There's nothing I can do. Life is just so unreasonable."

"Just now I saw you playing with the cat in the yard out of boredom. Tell me, are you stuck again?"
