Chapter 671 – Mayor Geng was bitten

Night.

The thunderstorm continued, and it was quiet in the car.

Dong Xuebing sat in the front seat and felt uncomfortable in his wet clothes. Before placing it on the dashboard, he starts taking off his shirt and wrenching it dry. He hesitated for a while and took off his pants and socks.

Dong Xuebing is naked.

“Your clothes.”

“Let me air it, or it will not be dry tomorrow.”

Geng Yuehua let out a soft reply. “Ok.”

Dong Xuebing reached back and took the clothes hanging behind the seats to wrench them. He twisted the clothes and a pair of stockings before spreading it out behind the seats.

“Xiao Dong.” Geng Yuehua called him.

“What is it?”

“Do you have any blankets or clothes in your car?”

“I came out in a rush and didn’t even bring an umbrella.”

“Achoo….” Geng Yuehua had caught a cold.

Dong Xuebing did not continue to argue with her. “The front seat cushions are wet. But there is a long velvet cushion on the back seat. Try to cover yourself with it.” The cushion is a padding for the rear passengers to sit on, and the length and width are enough to cover one person.

“Ok.”

There are some rustling sounds, and Geng Yuehua seems to have covered herself.

“How are you feeling?”

“Ok. It’s fine.”

Dong Xuebing doesn’t have anything to keep warm, shivering. He is also nervous and scared Geng Yuehua can see him because he is not wearing anything. Sigh…. Why did the car battery break down now and trap them in this place? He can’t even switch on the heater, and he is freezing.

It’s getting late.

Dong Xuebing felt the temperature lower and could hear Geng Yuehua trembling behind.

Suddenly, there were some movements behind him.

“What are you doing?” Dong Xuebing asked without turning back.

“I am going outside for a while.”

“Going outside?” Dong Xuebing is speechless. “It is still raining heavily. Why are you going outside for?”

“Go back to sleep and don’t bother me.”

“But where are you going? How am I going to answer if anything happens to you?”

“I said don’t bother me.”

“No. I can’t do that.”

“Are you done?”

Dong Xuebing turned around, and Geng Yuehua had covered herself with her suit jacket. She is not wearing her pants, and he can see her lacy red underwear. But Dong Xuebing has no time to admire and tries to stop her. She ignored her and left the car. She used her hand to cover her eyes from the rain and walked deeper into the forest.

Dong Xuebing finally understood. He thought Mayor Geng couldn’t stand the cold and wanted to walk back to the nearest town, but she was not wearing her pants. She should be going to the toilet now.

Sigh…. Why don’t you tell me earlier? I will not stop you.

Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead and felt stupid.

Although Mayor Geng is known as the poker-face Mayor, she is still a woman, and women are shy to say some things. She can’t be peeing beside the car with Dong Xuebing around.

Around three minutes passed.

Dong Xuebing frowned when he noticed Geng Yuehua was still outside. He quickly put on his underwear and his wet shirt and looked out the window.

Dong Xuebing could not see Geng Yuehua in the dark forest.

Why is she not back yet? She is fast in everything she does. Did she go too far?”

Dong Xuebing got worried and opened the door. “Mayor Geng! Mayor Geng!”

No one replied.

Geng Yuehua should have walked quite a distance away from the car.

Dong Xuebing rubbed his hands to warm himself and wonder if he should go out and look for her. But he is afraid he might see something he shouldn’t see and will anger her further. After being with her for a few days, he knows she has a bad temper.

What should I do? Should I go or not?

“Ahhh……”

As Dong Xuebing was thinking, a woman screamed in pain.

Dong Xuebing’s face changed, and he rushed out of the car. He ran deeper into the forest. “Mayor Geng!”

There’s fog in the forest, and the visibility is low.

Dong Xuebing dashed forward and took a few tumbles and falls. Finally, he saw Geng Yuehua leaning against a tree trunk. She is panting and holding on to the base of her thigh with both hands. Her face had turned pale.

“Was there someone here?” Dong Xuebing doesn’t know what happened.

Geng Yuehua took a deep breath and replied. “Snake.”

Dong Xuebing got shocked. “Did the snake bite you?”

“Can’t you see for yourself?!” Geng Yuehua scolded. “Stop saying the obvious.”

Dong Xuebing saw blood flowing out between her fingers. “Where’s the snake? What type of snake?”

“I didn’t notice it.”

“How does the snake’s head look like? What color is it?”

“I said I didn’t see it!” 

“Ah…. Stop shouting.” Dong Xuebing runs over. “Hurry…. Let me help you back to the car. The snake might still be around.”

Geng Yuehua still has her poker face on. “I can walk by myself.”

“Stop saying that. Hurry up.”

Dong Xuebing ignored Geng Yuehua and helped her walk back to the car. His eyes are looking at their ground around them cautiously.

Dong Xuebing is relieved after returning to the car and closing the door. “Could that snake be poisonous?”

Geng Yuehua did not reply.

Dong Xuebing knocked his head urgently. “Where are you bitten?”

“…… leg.”

Dong Xuebing suddenly realized the spot Geng Yuehua’s hands were covering. It is an awkward position on the edge of her underwear.

Damn!

What should I do?
