Chapter 009: You Sit in the Back_1

She tried to flag down multiple cars, but none of them stopped. She successfully stopped a green truck that was passing by.

Jiang Nanfei closed her eyes, resigned to whatever might happen, and stood in the middle of the road.

The large truck that was originally speeding came to a sudden stop, its tires screeching against the asphalt. A black imprint was left on the asphalt road.

The truck headlights were as bright as daylight, stinging Nan Fei's eyes.

The truck door opened, and a man in olive green jumped out from the driver's seat, cursing angrily, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? Who told you to stand here?"

Jiang Nanfei was quite scared, her pale little face was showing signs of panic.

A lazy voice came from the passenger seat of the truck, "Chen Qi, let it go. Why are you quibbling with a little girl?"

Jiang Nanfei, who was originally looking down, immediately looked up. She couldn't see the person inside the truck, but the voice sounded very familiar.

"Boss, that was really dangerous! If we had reacted a little slower, there would have been an accident." Chen Qi turned to explain to his captain. As he finished speaking and looked back at the girl, his eyes revealed a glint of appreciation for her beauty.

"But nothing happened, did it?" The lazy voice lost a bit of patience and urged, "Hurry up and stop wasting time; I'm eager to get back!"

Just after he finished speaking, laughter erupted from the cargo area, "Boss, you must be in a rush to see your sweetheart, right?"

"Captain can't stand to keep his lady waiting."

"Shut up, all of you." The lazy voice had a hint of anger, and silence fell in the cargo area immediately.

"Yes!" Chen Qi looked at Jiang Nanfei and asked, "So can we move? Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous, do you know that? Go home, don't do dangerous things like this in the future."

"My mother is ill, we want to go to the city to get her treated." Jiang Nanfei mustered her courage and said what she'd been thinking, "Can you please give us a ride? Just drop us off in the city."

Despite his young age, Chen Qi had a soft heart. Once he heard what she said, his attitude softened immediately. "Wait here, I have to ask our captain." After saying this, he turned and leaned toward the passenger window of the truck.

"Captain, this mother and daughter seem quite pitiful, shall we give them a ride?"

The man raised an eyebrow, "Where's the space?"

"How about you sit at the back?"

Huo Beijiang felt like killing Chen Qi at that moment. How much courage did it take to try to evict him because of a beautiful girl? The tall and handsome man stood up and glanced downwards, but could only see the top of the girl's lowered head.

Her features were delicate, facial skin was fair, and with his acute vision, he could see the teardrops that glisten on her long, curled eyelashes beneath the light.

Indeed, she was beautiful and seemed pitiful.

His eyes unconsciously deepened, and he promptly moved to the cargo area.

"Get in then! We will give you a ride."

Nan Fei was both surprised and delighted. She kept bowing to show her gratitude to Chen Qi. She ran to the roadside, helping Zhang Fengmei, who was now blind, to walk over. "Thank you so much, comrade. Please tell me your name. I will definitely repay this act of kindness."

Zhang Fengmei also expressed her gratitude, "Yes! Young man, thank you! What's your name? Where are you from?"

Chen Qi scratched his head and smiled at Nan Fei, "If you want to show gratitude, you should thank our captain! Without his permission, I wouldn't dare to let you aboard."

"May I know your captain's…"

Before Nan Fei could finish her sentence, a coughing sound came from the rear of the truck.

Knowing that the captain was trying to remain low-key, Chen Qi hurried them onto the truck. Since the captain didn't want their gratitude, Nan Fei didn't persist. She first helped Zhang Fengmei onto the truck and seated her properly, then climbed up herself.

The truck was high and large, and under normal circumstances, the passenger seat could seat two people. Huo Beijiang had previously been sitting alone because he liked to sprawl out his long legs and rest with his eyes closed, occupying two places.
