Chapter 106: Chapter 106: A Thousand Miles in a Day_1

The three of them headed toward the bar, leaving Zhang Ke alone outside, standing by himself.

Honestly, when Han Yan had spoken to him that way just now, Zhang Ke was flabbergasted.

There were actually people who were even more shameless than him!

Did they think of him as disposable paper?

Use it when they want to use it, then discard it when they’re done!

However, he didn’t confront Han Yan about anything; after all, Han Yan wasn’t his significant other.

If he were to make a scene now, he would only disgrace himself...

So, he decided to let it go. A wise man avoids getting the short end of the stick!

However, Zhang Ke found himself resenting Wang Ye a bit more.

How many times has this guy messed things up for him!

Maybe the two of them were estranged somehow, in any case, as long as he ran into Wang Ye, things would always go south!

......

After lunch with Angelina and Han Yan, he didn’t dare drink any alcohol since he had to drive in the afternoon.

Although the Russians don’t have any laws prohibiting drunk driving, Wang Ye was careful not to let his guard down, as his life was at stake.

Having been "reborn" once, he knew there were happy days ahead, and he didn’t want to risk any accidents from drunk driving...

From his chat with Han Yan, he learned that his cousin, Ruan Xiaozhu, had recently visited Friendship University again.

But Wang Ye wasn’t there at the time, so she didn’t come looking for him.

Wang Ye felt a little guilty, as he realized that he hadn’t been in touch with Ruan Xiaozhu for a while. She was his relative, after all, and he should take care of her more.

Indeed, the roles between the two of them had reversed.

It was no longer Ruan Xiaozhu taking care of Wang Ye, but Wang Ye felt that he should be the one to take care of her.

In Wang Ye’s mind, Ruan Xiaozhu was just a girl in her twenties, needing his care...

After the meal, after bidding farewell to Han Yan, Wang Ye got in the car with Angelina and slowly left the Friendship University dormitories area.

......

It was already mid-to-late April, and the weather was starting to warm up.

It hadn’t snowed heavily for a few days, and the snow on the side of the road had started to melt, ushering in the best weather in Moscow.

Accustomed to the daily traffic congestion in Peng City, driving in Moscow was a blast for Wang Ye!

Especially after leaving the city, the spacious and straight highways had almost no cars for a long stretch.

He was free to drive as he pleased!

He pressed the button on the car’s DVD player, and beautiful music resounded, beginning a song by an unknown female singer.

The warm sunshine shone through the car windows onto their faces, a bit dazzling.

Both Wang Ye and Angelina had put on sunglasses.

This was standard equipment for driving in Russia, not because of the sunlight, but because of the long-lasting snow glare.

Angelina was gently humming along with the music, while Wang Ye focused on driving...

The speed of the car was generally kept between 120 and 140, he didn’t dare to drive too fast.

However, from time to time, a car would whizz by. The Russians really seemed to have a death wish when it came to driving. He wondered if they were drinking vodka while driving...

From around noon until dusk around six o’clock, it had already turned dark.

They had covered nearly five hundred kilometers, reaching the vicinity of Voronezh. Wang Ye and Angelina discussed and decided to find a nearby place to stay for the night.

It’s best not to travel at night, as it’s too dangerous.

...

Voronezh is also a significant city, equivalent to a provincial capital.

Of course, the population could not be compared with that of domestic provincial capitals.

By evening, the city seemed quiet, with few cars on the road and even fewer people.

Wang Ye didn’t go to the city center, he just found a nearby hotel to check in.

They had a hot meal in the hotel restaurant; the two went back to their room to rest afterwards.

The next morning, they got up around seven or eight, had a simple breakfast, refueled their car, and hit the road again...

The scenery along the journey was beautiful; although their bodies were tired, their spirits were high.

They hurried along and finally arrived in Yalta around four or five in the afternoon!

The city is well-known but small in size.

However, its scenery and climate were completely different from Moscow and the cities they passed on the way.

The temperature was around the mid-teens; both Wang Ye and Angelina had taken off their outerwear and were only wearing a single layer of clothing.

The trees and flowers by the roadside were lush and vibrant.

The warm sea breeze blew against their faces; it felt like they were in a completely different season compared to Moscow!

Under Angelina’s guidance, Wang Ye drove the car to a regular residential area near the city center.

Supposedly, this was a residential area for civil servants, primarily inhabited by civil servants and their family members working in various departments of Yalta City Hall.

Angelina’s family lived here.

The compound consisted of the typical Russian-style red brick apartment buildings.

All of the buildings were uniformly six stories high, without elevators, quite old, and looked a bit worn on the outside.

Actually, it seemed similar to the residential area of Friendship University; the only difference was that this place had a larger green space. The residential compound was filled with vast green lawns.

On the other hand, the housing area at Friendship University was significantly smaller. After all, it was located in a wealthy area in Moscow, and land was rather scarce.

The car was parked in front of a residential building.

"This is it; let’s get out," Angelina said with a cheerful smile.

After stepping out of the car, Wang Ye surveyed the surroundings.

The residential compound was vast, with identical-looking red brick buildings separated by green lawns and trees.

Most of the windows were lit up, emanating a warm, orange glow, making the place seem peaceful.

Wang Ye held a box of drinks in one hand and the suitcase in the other.

Angelina, too, had both her hands full as they headed toward the building.

This old-styled residential building certainly couldn’t compare to their apartment in Moscow. The entrance was nothing but a simple stairway.

Yeah, there used to be a lot of these types of buildings in China too, following the Soviet architectural style.

...

When they arrived at the door on the third floor, Angelina rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door was opened, and a young girl peered out.

The girl bore a resemblance to Angelina - her golden hair, blue eyes, and fair skin were all similar, except she appeared younger with her hair tied in a ponytail.

She must be Nova, Angelina’s younger sister.

Indeed, when the girl saw Angelina, she exclaimed in surprise, "Sis! Why are you back?"

Then she turned around and shouted into the room, "Dad! Mum! Sister’s home."

Angelina had not informed her family of her returning home this time, as she’d planned to give her family a "surprise"...

With the girl’s shouting, there were loud footsteps from inside the house, and two more people appeared at the door.

A man and a woman, both looking around forty or so, they must be Angelina’s parents.

Angelina quickly introduced Wang Ye to her family, "Dad, Mum, Nova, this is Misha, my boyfriend."

All of their attention immediately shifted to Wang Ye...
