Cheng Yuhuan had a curiosity that was a bit too strong, and it was clear that she suspected the actual relationship between him and the three bridesmaids.

Her suspicion wasn't entirely unfounded; the three bridesmaids did indeed have close relationships with him. But what was it to her?

"Just asking out of curiosity, and I think the conditions of Little Rui and Li Liqin are quite good. If they're still single, I can introduce someone to them."

"No need to worry about that."

Chen Feng flatly refused on their behalf and began browsing his phone, ignoring her.

Cheng Yuhuan pursed her lips, considering that she'd have to accompany him to Shen City tomorrow, it seemed inappropriate to press further. She glanced at Guo Mengyao with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

She couldn't believe Guo Mengyao hadn't doubted Chen Feng had other women; perhaps that was why Guo Mengyao had yet to formally accept Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't care what Cheng Yuhuan suspected him of; they were just ordinary classmates and hadn't seen each other for years. They weren't particularly close.

Would you care about what someone you're not close to thinks of you?

Chen Feng certainly didn't.

Soon, three bowls of beauty-enhancing porridge were served. Chen Feng continued watching short videos and reading novels until the three women finished eating and left the porridge shop with him.

"Let's take a stroll around Yuanhu Park, it's been a while since we've visited."

Cheng Yuhuan suggested, and neither Guo Mengyao nor Fang Xiaoyue objected, so the four drove separately to Yuanhu Park in the old county town.

It was a park with decades of history, located in the old city district, which was once the area with the highest property values in their county, and still is to some extent.

"There's been quite a change here; I haven't visited in three or four years. Apart from the lake and the pavilion in the center, many places have changed, especially those new buildings."

Cheng Yuhuan commented as she walked through the park, marveling at the significant transformations.

Guo Mengyao chimed in: "Yes, there used to be no railings along the lakeside; now there are. It's safer but it doesn't feel as endearing as it did in childhood. Also, renting boats to row used to be an option; now that's unavailable for safety reasons."

Both Cheng Yuhuan and Guo Mengyao were originally from the county town, and Fang Xiaoyue barely counted; her home was on the edge of town, a city village before high school, only officially included as part of the city during high school, still slightly different from the genuine city-bred like Cheng Yuhuan and Guo Mengyao. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

She didn't visit Yuanhu Park much as a child; it was somewhat distant from her home, so she wasn't familiar with the park and didn't express any opinions.

Chen Feng, a rural kid, wasn't very familiar with Yuanhu Park either; he had visited a few times during high school, but never as a child. Coming here now didn't evoke the same feelings as it did for them.

The divide between urban and rural people isn't as deep now, but back then, even during Chen Feng's high school days, the gap was significant.

City classmates didn't explicitly look down on rural classmates, but there was often an air of superiority. Each had their own group, and a rural student found it hard to integrate into the city students' circles. There were distinct differences in day-to-day interactions.

This was in Lu City, where the economy was relatively developed; the urban-rural divide wasn't large, and the differences between urban and rural children weren't evident.

In more remote, economically underdeveloped areas, a county town and a village a few kilometers apart could be worlds apart, visibly distinct.

Urban areas had high-rise buildings and vibrant nightlife, whereas just a few kilometers away, villages had short mud-wall houses and a bleak setting, something unbelievable unless seen firsthand.

Of course, if you're wealthy, the urban-rural distinction matters less.

Chen Feng walked around the lakeside with the three women, and they sat in the pavilion in the center of the lake, during which he hardly spoke, just listened to the three women chat.

Through their conversation, Chen Feng learned that Cheng Yuhuan's family originally lived near the park but moved out after the area was redeveloped a few years ago; her parents rented at first and later moved with her to Le City.

Thus, her entire family had left Lin Nan, with no residence remaining there, hence her plethora of sentiments. The three women chatted heartily in the pavilion until about half-past nine at night, when they began to feel tired and Cheng Yuhuan decided to stay at a hotel.

Guo Mengyao and Fang Xiaoyue warmly invited her to stay with them, but Cheng Yuhuan declined.

The best hotel in the county town now was the Yujing Hotel, and Cheng Yuhuan planned to stay there.

By then, it was time for everyone to part ways, and Chen Feng was ready to head home.
