Chapter 6: Why Are You Still Here? (2)

There was an idea in her mind at the time, she wanted to give him this painting.   

Even though her interest was subtle, or maybe it was just a matter of liking him at first sight, Ye Yuqing fancied him a lot. More importantly, he could divert her attention from the last messy relationship. 

But now, she felt that the two were far apart. 

—— 

Ye Yuqing looked at the villa by the lake. There was a small hill behind the house, and the plank road could be built to go up.  

She walked around but was stunned, Jason was planting a tree.

Sensing someone watching at him, Li Che’s expression wasn’t in the least bit surprised. As such, he didn’t ask questions. He glanced, lowered his head, and continued his work.

This person is very beautiful when planting trees. 

Although looked thin, his rolled-up sleeves exposed strong arms.

“Move faster, otherwise the plan will not be completed today.” The woman in the villa saw another person, paused, and asked, “Is this your friend?” 

“I recognize,” Li Che said. 

The middle-aged woman sat down on the chair next to him and said, “The roots should be buried deeper.”   

She was an expert in green planting and was invited to give special guidance today. This big man liked to plant trees on weekends. It’s about hobbies. Anyway, he owned more than a dozen acres of land nearby, so he could toss about it.   

Ye Yuqing looked at the woman in the chair, she could discern her age, but she was well maintained. 

Is she the owner of the villa?   

How can Jason plant a tree while she sits and watches? And has to complete the prescribed plan?   

Ye Yuqing had a lot of question marks in her mind. Xiao Yao had said that Jason charged a high service fee and never accepted the pursuit of customers. But his tea art was very good, and he would often be invited to serve in the tea room at home. 

Xiao Yao also said that his customers could not be offended, and in any case, such a job would certainly be difficult.

Could this woman… be deliberately torturing him in this way? 

Actually called the handsome guy to plant a tree? Will you destroy it if you didn’t get it?  

The woman sat for a while, then walked into the villa with a cup in her hand. She had to cultivate the seeds for the boss, so she was very busy.   

The more she thought about it, the more complicated Ye Yuqing felt.

Li Che finished planting a tree and noticed the scorching gaze. He raised his head and glanced at the other party diagonally, and then quickly dropped. 

His eyelashes were thick, and eyes flowed with his movements.   

Ye Yuqing took a deep breath and took a step forward. “In fact, it’s all right.” 

“…”

“You are good!” 

She used to stay up late for five hundred yuan and her eyes were red! Can understand each other’s feelings!   

Li Che felt that the other party must have misunderstood something, but he wasn’t interested in asking.   

Ye Yuqing stood by and watched for half an hour, and she would sincerely compliment “You are amazing” for each kind of tree. She also used a small bucket to help the other party water the planted tree. 

Li Che didn’t expect to be encouraged to plant a tree by himself, he just looked over for a while without saying anything, after all, it was faster with the help of someone.

When a colleague called and told her to go back, Ye Yuqing waved goodbye to the other party.   

“I’m leaving, our company is here today for a team-building activity.” After saying so, Ye Yuqing put down the bucket and asked, “Well, can we add a WeChat?” 

“My phone isn’t here, next time.”   

“Okay.” Ye Yuqing didn’t force it. 

She comforted herself, perhaps, the two of them might be able to meet again soon.

——

Ye Yuqing was full of gloom when she left, and the aura around her was different when she came back. 

Zhang Lu was a bit speechless, even suspecting that she was deliberate.  

It was already six in the evening, and it was almost time to go back. It would take two hours for the bus to drive back to the city center.  

The coach leading the team was also mad at this group of salty fish who refused to accept brainwashing. These people hadn’t given him face, so he decided to make a big move, and ran to the person in charge to suggest a ruthless one.   

Zhang Lu was very dissatisfied with the results of the team building session. He wanted to promote a wolf-like culture so that these people should treat the company as a family, make selfless contributions, and actively work overtime. But the effect wasn’t good, all of them were renegade in nature, especially Ye Yuqing, so he accepted the suggestion.   

Zhang Lu made an excuse to go to the bathroom, turned around, got on the minibus, and asked the driver to drive away.   

The bus drove for one kilometer, and only then did the group notice him and the coach left first.

Leaving everyone to figure it all the way out, this was also the last team building project, testing everyone’s response in the face of unforeseen circumstances.

Everyone exploded instantly.   

The sky was getting dark, this is a suburb, and there were no taxis nearby! There was no bus either! Even if you called for a taxi from the city center, you had to wait two hours! Plus the round trip was four hours!  

A group of people rushed out of the scenic spot angrily. Although they were very dissatisfied, the matter was thus and they could only stand on the side of the road and hail a car.   

After waiting for 40 minutes, two empty taxis passed by and two private cars stopped. But there were too many of them, and one car could only take five people at full capacity.   

The sky was completely dark, and in the end, only Ye Yuqing and three male colleagues were left. The company’s salary wasn’t high. Fortunately, work was easy, so most of the employees were locals who were not too stressed.   

All the other female staff had family members who called to remind them to go, but Ye Yuqing had none. Saying ladies’ first, just now a male intern said that there was something at home, so she let the other party go first.

The taxi dispatched by the taxi company took an hour to arrive.   

After eight o’clock, there were almost no cars passing by in the suburbs, and it was all black. The range of street lights was also very limited.   

A car drove up, and Ye Yuqing saw the car lights from a distance and stepped forward to stop it.   

The car whizzed past and didn’t stop.   

“Xiao Ye, do you think we can call Porsche?” the male colleague said quietly.  

Ye Yuqing only saw the car lights but not the make of the car. She sighed and said, “Give it a try, perhaps they would like to give us a ride.” 

She looked up at the sky, today there were no stars.   

“No, I’m afraid we are more likely to be robbed.”   

Ye Yuqing: “…”  

At this moment, the car in front turned around and drove back. 

The black Porsche stopped on the side of the road, and the window slowly lowered.   

Li Che just saw the person blocking the car, he wasn’t ready to stop. 

After driving for fifty meters, it suddenly occurred to him that there might be no more cars passing by, so he changed his mind and turned back.   

Watching her help planting trees and water, he reckoned she was a good person and nosy for an unprecedented time. 

The man put his hand on the steering wheel, turned his face, and said lazily, “I thought only the indigenous people don’t use tents and sleeping bags for camping.”
