Chapter 1367: Chapter 665: Reading Is Beneficial

The black car sped along the highway like a ghost, with Yang Hongqi’s face turning a bit pale during his first ride with Yan Fei driving. He not only silently fastened his seatbelt but also braced himself to sit more steadily using his feet and hands.

Even Liu JinXue could not stand it anymore, "Boss Yan, can you drive a little slower? We just need to get home tonight; we’re not in a rush."

"Ah?" Yan Fei was startled. "What did you say?"

Liu JinXue’s face immediately changed, "You’re getting distracted while driving?"

Hearing their conversation, Yang Hongqi exerted even more effort, thankful that it was dark in the car, or else they would have seen his face turning red.

"I’m not distracted; I’m focused on driving!" Yan Fei asserted confidently. "Getting home earlier means getting to sleep earlier. There’s hardly any traffic on the road, driving fast is fine, don’t worry!"

When they first set out with Xu Xiaoyan, the speed at which Yan Fei overtook other cars was considered slow. Now, without his wife in the car, Yan Fei unleashed himself, driving even faster at night than during the day, which naturally frightened Liu JinXue.

Hearing his nonchalant words, Liu JinXue remarked irritably, "Then just take it easy on your own. Think about it; we don’t care much if something happens to us, but you’re young, wealthy, and have a beautiful fiancee. What a loss it would be if something happened to you!"

"Are you cursing me?" Yan Fei glared, irritated. "Don’t worry, you guys might get into trouble, but I won’t."

Yang Hongqi, unaware that this was how they normally talked when idle, quickly intervened, "Boss, Senior Brother Liu, please don’t fight!"

The two were taken aback for a moment, and Liu JinXue chuckled, "It’s nothing, we’re just joking!"

Yan Fei also laughed, "Really, it’s okay. Hongqi, don’t worry. I know this road better than the bus drivers. Watch, there’s a turn coming up in about four or five li, and not far after the turn, there are a few potholes which I remember very clearly, so rest assured!"

Before the two had fully digested his words, they reached the turn he mentioned. The car began to move to the side of the road and precisely avoided a series of potholes where the asphalt was damaged.

"Just ahead, not far along, there’s a tree next to a power pole that’s died—there, you’ll see it..." Yan Fei had barely finished speaking when both Liu JinXue and Yang Hongqi saw, in the flash of the headlights, a tree amid a row of poplar trees devoid of any branches.

"Boss, you’re really something!" Yang Hongqi suddenly forgot his fear and was thoroughly impressed. It might not be very unusual to remember a pothole at a turn on a hundreds of li long journey, but to recall a dead tree on the roadside was impressive.

Yan Fei laughed heartily, "Just relax while riding; this speed isn’t fast at all, I know exactly what I’m doing. Senior brother has said it; I’m a man with both money and a wife, why would I carelessly let anything happen? If you guys need to use the toilet, there’s a grass hut used as a toilet not far along the road..."

Liu JinXue fell silent, and Yang Hongqi shook his head, "No need, it’s just been a while, I’m fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car swiftly passed by the dilapidated grass hut being used as a toilet.

There was no need for Boss Yan to boast on this point; he knew the road situation very clearly. And indeed, the speed was not fast; for him, driving on the road was much slower compared to flying by himself, so he wasn’t worried about reacting too late.

It was just that there were toll stations on the road, otherwise, he could drive even faster.

By the time they arrived at the cattle farm, lodging arrangements had already been made for Yang Hongqi next to Liu JinXue, inside the new dormitory building.

Seeing that it was late, Yan Fei didn’t report his arrival home to his wife. After settling Yang Hongqi in, he opened the trunk to sort through some documents. Liu JinXue wanted to help, but Yan Fei sent him away with a few words.

The books were assorted, but they had been categorized beforehand, so he just needed to arrange them accordingly, which didn’t take much time. As for Professor Qi’s research papers, they were not to be kept outside but taken directly to the lab.

Compared to the spacious reading room, these books seemed slightly insufficient. However, Yan Fei was quite satisfied—key was that they were useful. They might not be needed now, but they would definitely be useful later.

After arranging everything, he grabbed a big stack and went to his room to start reading.

Books are the ladders of human progress, books are the spiritual sustenance of man, and books are also... an absolutely non-toxic, side-effect-free sleeping pill...

The professional material was indeed quite dry. It didn’t take long for Yan Fei to feel drowsy, until he came across an article akin to bizarre tales—essentially, some discoveries in the scientific community that might amaze the general public. Such articles served as spice in the magazine, preventing it from being too textbook-like and putting readers to sleep.

It wasn’t a particularly rare article; just ones about superlatives in the animal kingdom. For example, which bird was the fastest flyer, which was the smallest bird in the world, which animal had the longest lifespan, and which snake was the deadliest, etc.

This knowledge, in the early stages of internet development, was still quite captivating. Especially in sparking interest among teenagers in biology and fulfilling people’s curiosity, it had significant impacts.

But for Yan Fei, this was no longer just fascinating. Upon reading this article, he started thinking about whether he should also conduct similar observational studies in the dinosaur world.
