Chapter 108 Awe and Respect
The branches crackled as the campfire burned.
The flames raged wildly in the darkness, occasionally scattering sparks like fireflies that spun twice in the air before disappearing into the night.
The flickering firelight cast shifting shadows on Lu Mingfei's face, and the flames brought a gentle breeze that made the hair of the three people gathered around the campfire sway.
Lu Mingfei reached out and smoothed Ling's hair. Fang Meng could see deep emotions in Ling's downcast eyes.
How did you two meet?
She rolled up her sleeves, took out the roasted snake meat, gave half to Lu Mingfei, and then said this.
It's quite intriguing, after all, how did a local and a beautiful Slavic girl meet?
Lu Mingfei took the snake meat, and Fang Meng's forearm caught his attention.
Beneath his bronze skin were muscles that exuded stamina, and his forearms were covered with a mottled array of scars.
Generally speaking, if a girl has so many scars on her forearm, it's highly likely that she has a habit of using a scalpel.
But Fang Meng clearly didn't have this hobby; it was quite obvious that the scars on her hands were left from when Wang was working.
Lu Mingfei's respect for the other party increased even more, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Well, she asked me what clubs I was interested in, and I said I wasn't interested in any of them. She then said, 'Anyway, I'm going to join the club you're in.'"
Upon hearing this, Fang Meng couldn't help but look at Ling, who was sleeping at the moment, and thought to himself, "I didn't expect that you, who look like a cute little girl, would be so aggressive."
"And then what happened?"
"Oh, I told her I'm really not interested in clubs, they seem like too much trouble. She said, 'Then let's form a group together and not let anyone else join, then it won't be so much trouble.'"
"It sounds like a declaration of love, did you say yes?"
Fang Meng crossed his arms, nodded, and said very seriously, "That's how chatting works. Even if you've already figured it out, once they've said this much, you don't have anything to say. Just keep asking questions."
Lu Mingfei felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't really explain it; he just began to speak in a gentle and detailed manner.
"That's right. As the ancients said, 'Even old age feels like a new friendship, and instant acquaintance feels like an old friend.' Some people are just inexplicably familiar to you the moment you meet them, and then you naturally get along, and your tacit understanding makes you forget that you've only just met."
"So time and the world seem to remain unchanged while you are with her. The world is anchored to the cobblestone path you walked together, the lobster tails you ate together, and the golden light you saw in her hair in the sunlight during class."
"So what else is there to say? Just agree."
Lu Mingfei's eyebrows drooped, and his words were also droopy.
"Isn't this what youth is all about? You smell the fragrance in your female classmate's hair in class, and after class, you tell your buddies that you think you like her."
In my imagination, you've already spent your whole life together. My buddies are laughing and joking, saying, "So when are you going to confess your feelings? We're waiting to get your wedding candy!"
As a result, she never confessed her feelings until graduation. Years later, you've grown into an adult, and one day you're on the subway when you suddenly smell that familiar scent. But when you try to find her, she's already disappeared into the crowd.
"So when someone asks you if you want to start a club, just say yes and that's it. Time is short, and before you know it, the person will be gone."
Looking at Ling's peaceful sleeping face, Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Your parents are truly blessed."
If I had a daughter as lovely as you, I would tell you bedtime stories and give you goodnight kisses every day, until many years later some idiot boy takes you away and I end up crying my eyes out at his wedding.
Of course, his eldest daughter was also very cute, but before he knew it, she had grown up and become the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms period, with unparalleled beauty.
She even inherited her father's talent for talking nonsense. No wonder she's the most spoiled. Her two sons don't even know how to learn from her; they're such a worry.
Lu Mingfei shifted his gaze from Ling's face and looked at Fang Meng instead.
Her eyes were large, clear, and bright, and she was smiling like an aunt. You could see the glow of the campfire dancing in her eyes.
"By the way, Sister Fang, what made you decide to do this?"
The girls in the school are all trained to slay dragons. Lu Mingfei didn't think there was much to say about this. They're all mixed-race, so they probably don't have any other skills.
But Fang Meng is clearly not a mixed-race person; the muscles on her body are not a gift from genes, and her rough, hard skin is not from dragon blood.
Everything was achieved through the other party's tireless efforts and countless geological explorations.
"Haha, I knew you'd be curious about this, but you don't understand. Even in geology, there are jobs that aren't too tough, and many women are assigned to these professions."
Well, it's only relative.
Lu Mingfei looked at Fang Meng and thought to himself, "So you don't have such a tough job." "I'm sorry, you're wrong. I'm on the front line, the toughest one, hahaha."
Fang Meng laughed as if she could read minds, then tore off a piece of snake meat. She took off her helmet, fiddled with her hair that barely reached her earlobes, and continued speaking.
"Well, I lived in the countryside when I was a child. Have you ever been to the countryside?"
Fang Meng continued speaking, his eyes somewhat unfocused.
"The roads in the countryside are terrible. On sunny days, they're dusty and on rainy days, they're full of ditches and mud. In the small village where I live, people still compost in front of their doors. When it rains, the mud puddles they've trampled out are filled with clear yellow water, which is really disgusting."
"It's not easy to leave the village. Cars get stuck in the mud, and sometimes you can slip and fall if you don't walk carefully. If you want to sell some mountain products to supplement your family income, you have to walk for several hours to the highway and take a crowded minibus to the town."
"
Lu Mingfei didn't say much, he just watched Fang Meng continue to speak, and this time he didn't think the other party was talking too much.
"Then one day, people from the village came to repair the road."
She looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes.
"Have you seen the road construction process?"
Lu Mingfei could see the glint in her eyes.
"The asphalt covered the roadbed like black lava. The big truck made the road surface solid and smooth. Everything from the past is gone. The truck can drive directly into the village without worrying about slipping in the mud."
Fang Meng's tone was filled with excitement.
"At that time, I even reached out and touched the asphalt. It was warm. Walking on the barely passable asphalt road, I could feel a warm sensation creeping up from the soles of my feet."
"Later, I went to high school in the county. Above the villages were towns, and above the towns were counties. I realized that even in our small area, there were many villages that needed road repairs. So how many places in the whole country do you think don't have roads?"
Fang Meng looked sincerely at Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei remained silent and expressionless.
He thought of what Fang Meng had thought of, but he was still shocked by what the woman in front of him held in her heart.
Fang Meng smiled, revealing his teeth that gleamed in the firelight.
"There are many, so I think it's right that everyone should have a good path to walk, but that's not the case now, so I did this. It has nothing to do with men or women. As a human being, I hope everyone can have a good path to walk."
Lu Mingfei was stunned, but Fang Meng just smiled.
"So I studied, took the college entrance exam, and then I ended up here. It's that simple."
She took another bite of the slightly dry snake meat and continued speaking.
I don't know if you've ever heard that saying.
"What did you say?"
"Make mountains bow down, make rivers give way, and turn natural barriers into thoroughfares."
