Chapter 36 - 36

The Storm 36: 36.

The Storm “Village chief, is that right?”

Although Chen Yang knew this person was the village chief, he still politely asked as he approached.

Upon hearing the voice, the beautiful village chief turned her head and replied, “Yes, you must be Chen Yang, a villager of Liuhé Village, right?”

“Haha, yes, Chief, it was me who contacted you on the phone just now!” Chen Yang said with a smile and a nod.

Once he confirmed this was the village chief, he immediately took her suitcase, “Chief, let me carry this for you.

The car is just across the road.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The village chief smiled slightly and did not refuse Chen Yang’s kindness.

Then, the two of them crossed the street and got on Chen Yang’s electric tricycle.

“Chief, the conditions in the village are quite poor, the only decent thing is this tricycle of mine.

I hope you don’t mind that I came to pick you up in it,” said Chen Yang as he got into the vehicle, and then he started it up without delay.

Chen Yang had thought that a beautiful village chief like her might be somewhat unhappy upon seeing that he was picking her up with an electric tricycle.

But to his surprise, not only did the village chief not show any discontent, she even responded with a smile, “It’s alright.

I came here to find ways to help Liuhé Village get out of poverty!”

“Hehe.” At her words, Chen Yang just smiled faintly and said no more.

But in his heart, his impression of the village chief improved somewhat.

Because from the village chief’s dress and demeanor, it was evident that she was a rich or noble person from the city.

For such a person to come to a rural area without the slightest contempt, and even to smile so naturally, was indeed rare.

The electric tricycle started up and left the town, heading onto the cement road to the village.

The town was not far from Liuhé Village, just over a twenty-minute journey.

Chen Yang had thought that he would be able to smoothly take the village chief to the village office without any issues.

But unexpectedly, the sky had other plans.

As the two sat on the electric tricycle, just after leaving the town, the sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, signaling an impending downpour.

Seeing the clouds gathering overhead, Chen Yang inwardly cursed his luck.

If it kept up at this pace, a torrential rain would arrive before long.

“Chief, hold on tight.

It looks like a downpour is going to start any minute now, I need to speed up,” Chen Yang called back to the village chief, urging her to hold on, and then he twisted the throttle to the max, intending to race back to Liuhé Village.

There was no shelter in sight in the sparsely populated area, and the only way to avoid getting soaked was to make a dash for the village.

But just then, the electric tricycle failed to live up to expectations; even with Chen Yang twisting the throttle as far as it would go, the speed never exceeded around twenty miles per hour.

It was probably because of the two passengers on board and the weight of the bulky suitcase.

Boom!

Not long after Chen Yang finished speaking, a loud thunderclap sounded in the sky, startling the beautiful village chief who was sitting in the cart.

However, since she was still quite unfamiliar with Chen Yang, she did not cry out, nor did she show much fear.

But through her tightly clenched teeth and her pale face, it was apparent that she was quite frightened.

No sooner had the thunder passed than the pitter-patter of torrential rain began to pour down.

In the hot summer, either it wouldn’t rain at all, or it would be a downpour!

In just an instant, the clothes on both of them were nearly drenched.

But at that moment, Chen Yang’s mind was solely focused on getting back quickly, not bothering to look back at the village chief.

“Chief, bear with it a little while longer, we’re only a short distance from Liuhé Village!” Chen Yang gritted his teeth and twisted the throttle even harder.

“Okay.” The village chief, caught off guard by the sudden onslaught, seemed a bit unsettled in the cart.

She could only raise her arms above her head, trying her best to shield herself from the rain.

But in such torrential rain, this effort was completely futile, and within less than a minute, both of their clothes were thoroughly soaked.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Chen Yang’s car to enter Liuhu Village.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Yang should have taken the beautiful village chief to the village committee first.

But because of the downpour, both of them were drenched, so Chen Yang could only take the beautiful village chief to his home first.

The electric tricycle stopped in front of the clinic, and Chen Yang immediately jumped down, then turned to assist the beautiful village chief sitting in the cargo bed, who was drenched and dispirited.

“Village chief, come on down, I’ll get your luggage for you,” said Chen Yang, extending his arm toward the beautiful village chief.

“Okay…

okay!” The beautiful village chief stood up from the cargo bed and, holding onto Chen Yang’s arm, jumped down from the vehicle.

Then, she dashed to the eave of Chen Yang’s house to take shelter from the rain.

Chen Yang then helped her carry the suitcase down from the cargo bed and placed it under the eave of his house.

“Village chief, wait here for a moment, I’ll park the car.” After getting the beautiful village chief and the suitcase down, Chen Yang got back on the electric tricycle and drove it to the backyard of his house.

Meanwhile, the beautiful village chief covered her chest with both hands as she took shelter from the rain at the entrance of Chen Yang’s clinic.

After waiting for about a minute or two, there was a sudden rattle, and the roller shutter behind her was pulled open.

Turning around, the beautiful village chief saw Chen Yang opening the door.

At the same time, as their eyes met, Chen Yang unconsciously assessed the beautiful village chief in front of him.

In their hurried rush through the rain earlier, Chen Yang hadn’t noticed that the beautiful village chief’s clothes and trousers were all wet…

Now, suddenly taking a closer look, Chen Yang’s eyes nearly popped out.

The soaked clothes clung tightly to the beautiful village chief’s tempting body, outlining all her perfect curves.

Through the thin clothes, Chen Yang could even see her fair skin underneath.

And although she had her hands covering her chest, Chen Yang could still see through some gaps, glimpsing the color of some hidden garments and their impressive curves.

Looking at the completely drenched beautiful village chief before him, Chen Yang suddenly felt his mouth dry and his body almost seemed to ignite.

He swallowed subconsciously, then quickly raised his head to look into the eyes of the beautiful village chief and said, “Village chief, why don’t you come in and change your clothes first?

Staying in these soaked clothes might make you catch a cold.”

The beautiful village chief hesitated upon hearing this.

She wasn’t familiar with Chen Yang; this was their first meeting, and changing clothes in his home was indeed a bit embarrassing.

But she was unfamiliar with Liuhu Village, and her whole body was soaked, so she really did need to change her clothes.

“Okay…” In the end, she nodded in agreement.

Then, Chen Yang helped her carry the suitcase into the inner room of the clinic and even led her to the bathhouse where he usually took baths.

“Village chief, there’s the bathhouse.

Turn the switch to the right, and there will be hot water,” Chen Yang pointed out the bathhouse and said.

The beautiful village chief looked in the direction Chen Yang pointed and just by glancing at the bathhouse, her cheeks instantly flushed.

Because the door to Chen Yang’s bathhouse was directly facing Chen Yang’s bedroom.

Moreover, there was no door to the bathhouse!

There was only a curtain hanging, separating the bathroom from the bedroom.

In other words, if she were to bathe inside, there would be only a curtain separating her from Chen Yang…

Seeing the sudden flush on the beautiful village chief’s face, Chen Yang also immediately felt something was amiss.

It was their first meeting, and she certainly didn’t trust him yet.

“Cough cough, sorry village chief, I’m used to living alone and didn’t consider your feelings.

Go inside and wash up first, I’ll go sit outside for a while,” Chen Yang coughed awkwardly, and then turned his head and walked out of the inner room.

As he left, he also closed the wooden door separating the inner room from the clinic.

The beautiful village chief felt somewhat relieved seeing Chen Yang voluntarily walking out.

She then bent down to open the suitcase that Chen Yang had brought in for her and took out a set of clean clothes before entering the bathhouse.

Soon after, the sound of water pitter-pattering in the bath could be heard.
