Chapter Sixty-Five
. I nodded.

“This one,” Luo Honghai introduced the next person counter-clockwise, “This is Lu Xingtao, 35 years old this year, and his wife is Jin Yanming, 33 years old this year.”

“This is Bai Yuyang, 32 years old this year, and his wife is Qu Jun, his high school classmate, the same age as him.”

“This is Ye Zhihui, 37 years old this year, and his wife is Mo Haoyue, 31 years old this year.”

“Next one is impressive.”

As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter again. Luo Honghai pointed to someone sitting next to me, and I turned to look at this person.

“This is Yan Huaichang, 41 years old this year, a senior. Little Lu, do you remember I said before that Xiao Dai’s wife is 27 years old this year? But she’s not the youngest, because the youngest one is here with Old Yan. His wife is Wang Ziyan, 25 years old this year.”

I greeted everyone present one by one as Luo Honghai introduced them. Finally, it was my turn.

"Alright, next, let's invite our new friend to introduce himself. Please welcome him." A round of applause erupted in the private room.

I was momentarily flattered. "Yes, yes, everyone, you're too kind. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Jianhao, I'm 31 years old. To show my sincerity, I don't mind introducing myself a bit more. I currently work at a travel agency, managing outbound European tours. My wife's name is Chen Xinyue, she's 28 years old, and she's a middle school English teacher at a private school."

"Mingde School, she's a homeroom teacher and research group leader," Luo Honghai added, immediately eliciting soft gasps.

"A prestigious school!"

"Yeah, Lu, your wife has such resources; she can make a fortune just by talking."

"Lu, my son's future hopes for a good school rest on you guys."

"Alright, alright, everyone's gone off-topic. Besides, I was the first to book, and their Xinyue has already agreed," Luo Honghai said smugly.

"Oh my, Lao Luo, so you two families are already... ah?"

"That's right, my Xiao Jing knows Lu's strengths and weaknesses, and I know the depths of their Xin Yue sister's, hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

The atmosphere became much warmer afterward, a group of men gathered around a hot pot, clinking glasses and exchanging pleasantries before starting to discuss the specific details of the day's activities.

"I say, everyone," Bai Yuyang said, "what are we grown men wasting our time discussing these details? Will everything we discuss actually work out in the end?" "

That's true," Lu Xingtao chimed in, "Those fickle women always change their minds completely." "

So I say we should first decide where to go rafting on the first day, where to go hiking on the second day, what dishes to have for each meal, these are more practical, and those women aren't interested in meddling in things like that." Bai Yuyang said.

Everyone, including me, nodded in agreement.

"How about this," I said, "I worked as a tour guide for a few years after graduation. The rafting at Longjing Gorge near Lin'an is pretty good, quite exciting. And for hiking, there are even more options: Tianmu Mountain, Daming Mountain, Taihu Lake Source. We can just go wherever we feel like."

Everyone's eyes lit up. "Xiao Lu, you're a real gem! Now we have someone to take care of our outings."

The meal was very lively, and after leaving the hot pot restaurant, everyone felt like old friends. We agreed to meet again next week and then went our separate ways.

In the middle of the week, with only three days left until the gathering, Luo Honghai informed us that he couldn't make it. It turned out that his father back home was critically ill, and he had to take Lou Jing back to Anhui immediately. This left only six couples at the gathering. Although I already knew each of the husbands, without Lou Jing, there would be no one to introduce female companions to the wives. So, I suggested in the WeChat group that we meet at a service area along the way first, get to know each other, and then travel together to our destination.

Two days before my departure, another incident occurred. On my way home from work, I was sideswiped by a large truck. My rear door needed bodywork, meaning I couldn't wait a couple more days to get it repaired. In desperation, I thought of someone.

"Hey, Miss Shi."

"Hmm, what is it?" Her voice was very languid, and I couldn't tell what state she was in.

"Are you in China?"

"Of course, what's up?"

"Then what are you doing at this dinner time, with lights on in every house and smoke rising from chimneys?"

"Hmph, would you believe me if I said I'm making love right now?"

I was a little skeptical when she said that. Her weak voice sounded like she had just been fucked. But her steady breathing on the phone didn't seem like it.

"If you were still having fun with a man at this hour, you wouldn't be the Shi Mengyun I know."

"Hmph, you know your stuff. I was rushing to finish a project last night until this morning, and that's not all. My late-night snack last night was probably not clean; I went straight to the hospital after leaving the company. I just got back from my IV drip and lay down when you, you scoundrel, woke me up."

"Oh, is it serious? I'll come check on you later."

"Oh, no, no, I have acute gastroenteritis. Please don't bother me, just let me rest."

"You say your company boss is your dad? You, a rich second-generation heiress, are working overtime all night? You've worn yourself out."

"Hmph, I don't want to rely on anyone else. So, what's up? I still want to sleep."

"Sigh, we're going on a road trip the day after tomorrow. My car got scratched after work today. I was wondering if you had a car I could borrow."

"Hmph, you're going out to play like this? No way! Come keep me company this weekend, you and your wife!"

"I can keep you company, but I'm afraid you can't handle your sickly appearance."

"Pfft, you rascal! Tell me, which car do you want to borrow?"

I honestly didn't know how many cars she owned, or what kind they were, so I just blurted out,

"Lend me an SUV, it'll be driving on some mountain roads."

"Okay, then you can take the Tesla, just remember to charge it once on the way."

And so, by a twist of fate, I ended up driving an unexpected Model X on this getaway.

Lin'an is a county-level city, administratively under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou. It boasts abundant tourism resources with its mountains and rivers. The first service area after getting on the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway from Shanghai is Jiaxing Service Area. We arrived here after about an hour and a half's drive. According to our WeChat group communication along the way, we were the second family to arrive; the first was Dai Zhicun and Fei Xinyi, a couple who arrived three minutes earlier than us.

I had already met Dai Zhicun, so I easily recognized them. He still wore glasses and looked quite refined. His wife, Fei Xinyi, was one of only two women younger than his wife. She had straight, center-parted, medium-length hair, with one side tucked behind her ear, making her look very energetic. Her face was radiant with a warm smile, giving off a comfortable and welcoming feeling. She was also very tall and slender, a long-legged beauty similar to his wife.

Even with such a beautiful wife, Dai Zhicun's eyes still lit up when he first saw her.

"Brother Lu, I didn't realize you had such a luxurious car and beautiful wife."

"Haha, you flatter me. My own car was in the repair shop, so I borrowed this from a friend as a temporary fix. I couldn't afford to buy one myself."

I felt that Fei Xinyi's gaze towards me was mostly one of satisfaction and contentment. The two women were almost the same age, and after inquiring with each other, I learned that my wife was only four months older than her. Within just a few minutes, the two were already chatting privately.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the other four groups arrived one after another. The men already knew each other, and for the women, it was essentially a preliminary meeting between my wife and the other women. Fortunately, my wife was the kind of person who was very likable, not only to the men but also to the women. Everyone was trying to build rapport with each other, thinking about what would happen in the next two days.

"Sigh, it's a pity that Brother Luo, the organizer, can't come. We need to choose another organizer. How about you, Lao Yan?"

"Forget it, I can't do it. I'll just play along with you guys. How about Xiao Ye?"

Ye Zhihui hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Okay, I'll do it. It's really just a matter of paying the money."

We agreed that each family would prepay 1,000 yuan for the activity, with any overpayment refunded and any underpayment collected. The other five families immediately transferred the money to Ye Zhihui via bank transfer at the service area.

During a break, I glanced at everyone's wives. To my surprise, there weren't any ordinary-looking women among them. It seemed the group that spontaneously formed this gathering had been carefully selected; after all, everyone's circumstances were similar, allowing for a more enjoyable experience. The most stunning was the youngest, Wang Ziyan. At 25, she was in the prime of her life, and with her exceptional looks, youth and charm seemed perfectly concentrated in one person. For the first time, I saw admiration in my wife's usually self-assured eyes.

However, this woman was somewhat aloof. While the others chattered incessantly around her, she quietly watched the men talk.

"I think it's about time we hit the road," I suggested.

Everyone agreed in unison.

"How about this?" Ye Zhihui, the temporary leader, spoke up. "Since Xiao Lu and Xiao Chen are here for the first time, we, the older members, should take the initiative to introduce them. I suggest we separate them here. Anyone want to volunteer?"

"Let's do it! After all, we've already started chatting before you even arrive," Dai Zhicun raised his hand. "Xiao Chen, get in my car. My wife, Fei Xinyi, will get in Xiao Lu's car. We'll stop along the way if there's nothing else to do. Let's head straight to the farmhouse."

"Okay." Everyone got into their cars, and the convoy set off in a grand procession.

Fei Xinyi has a rather outgoing personality, and we started chatting enthusiastically almost as soon as we hit the road. From her, I learned that she was actually half a colleague of my wife's—a teacher, but she taught at a training institution, and she taught Spanish. Her husband, Dai Zhicun, worked for a state-owned enterprise and was an engineer.
