Chapter 670: Stripped
“Why didn’t you pay attention to the roads?”
“I didn’t notice it.”
“Why did you drive so fast at night?”
“Alright. Calm down. Let me try starting the engine again.”
“Are you done? Can you start the car?”
“No…. I think there are some problems with the battery.”
Dong Xuebing is frustrated. The salesman claimed this car to be invincible with the most advanced technology and safety features when he was buying it. The way he praised the car made Dong Xuebing thinks he was buying a tank. But now, Dong Xuebing knows that no matter how sturdy and high-tech this car is, it is still a car and can break down. He had been busy recently and didn’t have time to send his car for maintenance. This was his fault.
Dong Xuebing wanted to call for help, but there was only one bar of signal. He can’t make any outgoing calls.
“Does your phone have a signal?” Dong Xuebing asked.
Geng Yuehua took out her phone and called the Traffic Police. A few seconds later, she said. “The line can’t get through.”
Dong Xuebing only knows how to drive and doesn’t know how to repair cars. He turned to Geng Yuehua. “Mayor Geng, come to the driver seat. I will push the car from behind.”
Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing angrily and moved forward.
Dong Xuebing looked at the heavy rain outside and ran out of the car.
Within a few seconds, Dong Xuebing was soaked.
Dong Xuebing doesn’t have time to care about the rain. He walked through the muddy ground and puddles to the back of the car and pushed it.
The car was not moving as it was too heavy and was stuck in the mud.
Geng Yuehua had gotten into the driver\'s seat and started the car. But Dong Xuebing could not move the car. She opened the door and got out to push the car with him.
“Mayor Geng, you don’t need to….”
“Push!”
“Hurry and get back into the car. I can do it alone.”
“Shut up!” Dong Xuebing looked at Geng Yuehua’s back, soaked by the rain, and continued to push it.
The car started moving forward slowly, and Geng Yuehua used it on hand to start the engine. But the engine still fails to start after a few tries.
Five minutes passed.
Geng Yuehua rustled her hair in frustration and angrily got back into the car.
Dong Xuebing wiped the rain off his face and got into the front passenger seat.
The rain falls on the windscreen.
Dong Xuebing admitted his mistake. “It is my fault. I had not watched the road carefully, and it resulted….”
Geng Yuehua supported her head and closed her eyes.
Dong Xuebing tried to use his phone but couldn’t make any calls. They are stuck in the middle of nowhere, and he is helpless. He could have used BACK during that accident earlier, but he forgot about it at that moment. His remaining time is not enough to return to the time before the accident. He always felt that any problems that can be settled with money or time were no problems and would not use his powers unless it concerned his career. He only needs to wait for the rain to stop, and he can walk to a place with a signal to get someone to repair his car.
“Wait for the rain to stop.” Dong Xuebing said. “I will go get help when the rain stops.”
Geng Yuehua ignored him.
Dong Xuebing smiled and knew this rain would last for a while. It might even rain throughout the night.
“You can’t even drive properly. What else can you do?” Geng Yuehua scolded.
Dong Xuebing argued. “I told you that I did not notice it. It was an accident.”
Geng Yuehua stared at Dong Xuebing. “I can see the road conditions clearly, but you can’t see it?!”
Dong Xuebing got mad again. “I admitted it was my mistake. I had not done this on purpose.”
Geng Yuehua points at Dong Xuebing and does not continue.
Dong Xuebing is in a bad mood and lit a cigarette.
“Snub it.” Geng Yuehua ordered.
Dong Xuebing ignored her and continued to smoke.
Geng Yuehua repeated in a stern voice. “I am asking you to snub the cigarette! Do you hear me?!”
Dong Xuebing opened the door and threw the cigarette out before closing it loudly.
They are soaked by the rain and are in a bad mood.
The silence in the car lasted for a few minutes before it was interrupted by a sneeze.
“Achoo….” Geng Yuehua covered her mouth and sneezed.
Dong Xuebing seems to have caught it and sneezed too. His body also trembled. He had just recovered from fever this morning, and he is feeling it again.
He looked at his watch. It is past 10 pm.
Dong Xuebing doesn’t want to argue with Geng Yuehua anymore. He looked at her and said. “It was my fault, and I apologize. We cannot carry on like this. Our clothes are wet, our phones don’t have a signal, and we can’t start the car. Let’s take off our wet clothes first. We will sleep in the car tonight if the rain doesn’t stop, and I will think of ways to get someone to repair the car. What do you think?”
Geng Yuehua stared at Dong Xuebing. “How am I going to take off my clothes?”
Dong Xuebing glanced at her body. Her wet blouse is translucent and sticking to her body. He can make out the lacy red bra under the moonlight.
Dong Xuebing doesn’t want to argue with her anymore. “I will turn around and you…. You can sleep in the backseat. Are you fine with this?”
Geng Yuehua replied. “What do you think?”
“I think it will work. Don’t worry. I will not turn and look at you.”
Geng Yuehua held her head and did not reply to him. She doesn’t want to take off her clothes.
Dong Xuebing felt his anger rising again. “Mayor Geng, I understand that you are unhappy with me and don’t trust me. I can’t do anything to change your views. But what else can we do in this situation?”
Geng Yuehua’s eyes are burning with rage. “How many times have you said I am unhappy with you today? I am telling you now. I don’t have any views on you, and I will not mix my personal feelings with work. Since you mention this, I will tell you the truth. I don’t agree with your working style and dislike your character. Do you understand?”
Dong Xuebing shrugged his shoulders. “I know you despise me, and I don’t need you to agree with the way I work. But we are not at work now and can’t leave this place. Do you think I want this to happen? I have just recovered from a fever, and I also want to rest at home. Do you think I want to be stuck here? Am I crazy?”
Both started arguing again.
Geng Yuehua continued to speak to him with a poker face, and Dong Xuebing couldn’t stand it.
Dong Xuebing couldn’t stand it and got out of the car in the end. He shouted to Geng Yuehua under the rain. “You are the Leader, and you are the biggest! Go and take off your wet clothes and sleep in the car. I will stay outside here!”
Geng Yuehua stared at Dong Xuebing coldly.
Dong Xuebing slammed the door and walked towards a tree nearby. He wanted to take shelter under the tree, but he saw flashes of lighting. He knows it will be dangerous to be standing near the tree during a lightning storm and walk to a boulder nearby. He sat on the muddy ground and took out his cigarette. It was raining heavily, and no matter how he covered his lighter and cigarette with his hand, he couldn’t light it.
Dong Xuebing threw away the cigarette in anger and wiped the rain off his face and hair. He also spits a mouthful of rainwater before leaning against the boulder to rest.
Dong Xuebing only wishes for the rain to stop. If not, how is he going to get through the night?
Dong Xuebing clenched his teeth and tried his best to tolerate the cold under the pouring rain.
About one to two minutes later, loud banging sounds came from the Cayenne door. Dong Xuebing ignored it, and three loud bangs sounded again later. It was much louder.
Dong Xuebing walked over and saw a few pieces of women\'s clothing hanging on the back of the driver\'s seat. He knows Geng Yuehua had taken off her clothes. He quickly turned his head away and opened the passenger door. “What is it?”
A cold voice sounded from the backseat. “Come in and sleep.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “No need. You go ahead, and I will wait outside
“I am asking you to come in!” Geng Yuehua shouted. “How are you going to stay outside in this rain?!”
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and did not reject her. He entered the car and closed the door behind him.
“Cover the rear-view mirror.” Geng Yuehua ordered.
Dong Xuebing paused for a second and pushed the rear-view mirror up. But that split second, he saw Geng Yuehua in the mirror. She had taken off everything except for her bra and underwear. Her sexy body is exposed, and his heart starts racing.
Author’s note: Why can’t he use REVERSE to repair the car? Even if he doesn’t have powers, he can walk back to the road to get help since he was already soaked.
