She thought she had seen it wrong.
Meeting him at the mall just now was already a coincidence. Now, here—on the street, I actually saw him again. Is this also a coincidence? Or…
My heart was shaken, but I didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
However, the man who had stepped on the brakes at the red light suddenly turned his head. Under the neon lights of the city, she was standing on the street and he was sitting in the car, and their eyes met.
His eyes were gloomy.
It's so cold that it makes people shiver.
for a long time…
She just stood there, unable to tear her eyes away from his.
When her cell phone rang, she suddenly came back to her senses. She took it out and saw a row of processed garbled characters on it. Night Owl had already turned his head away, and the phone was pressed against his ear.
Bai Suye suddenly came to his senses, held the phone in his hand, and didn't dare to answer it.
She kept walking forward, and her phone kept ringing. After an unknown number of rings, she finally answered the call.
"Night Owl, I can't guarantee whether my phone calls are monitored by the NSA, so..."
"Get in the car, I'll wait for you 100 meters ahead." He interrupted her directly.
"You don't have to wait for me. I won't go up." She made her voice sound decisive and ruthless.
"I'll only wait for you for two minutes. If you don't get in the car within two minutes, I can go directly to the National Security Bureau to find you tomorrow."
"Night Owl!"
Bai Suye's voice became more serious, but Ye Xiao had already hung up the phone. Then, the familiar car rushed out of the traffic light and stopped steadily on the side of the road. She stood there, staring at him from a distance, and he held a lit cigarette between his fingers stretched out of the window, flickering in the night.
With his current health condition, can he still withstand smoking
She took a deep breath, put away her phone, and walked towards Night Owl. The car window was down, but she didn't get in. She just leaned over the passenger seat, kept a distance from him, and said, "If you have anything to say, let's just talk."
"Let's go to the National Security Bureau tomorrow to talk." After saying that, Ye Xiao rolled up the car window. That cold and handsome face was hidden behind the window. The next moment, the car started.
Bai Suye was really worried that he would go to the National Security Bureau to find her, which would make the director more suspicious. She sighed, opened the car door, and got in before Ye Xiao drove out.
The car was full of smoke.
Very pungent.
She looked down and saw dozens of cigarette butts in the car's ashtray.
He still has one in his hand.
Bai Suye, who was sitting nearby, felt that his lungs were aching from the choking. It was hard to imagine how this man who smoked so much could bear it. Moreover, his health was still so bad. The gunshot wound might not have healed completely yet!
She rolled down the car window, turned her face away from the window, and said coldly, "The smell in the car is already very bad, can you put out the cigarette?"
Ye Xiao took a deep puff and then extinguished the cigarette. Then, before Bai Suye could come to her senses, the car had already rushed out like a bullet. The strong push on her back made her lean forward suddenly. If she hadn't used both hands to support the front, her forehead would have hit the window in front of her, and she would have been bleeding.
"Buckle up."
Night Owl spoke.
On the other hand, he was as calm as ever.
Bai Suye grabbed the seat belt and buckled it. His car was still moving very fast, but very steadily.
…
No conversation along the way.
The car actually drove out of the city and directly onto the highway.
Bai Suye glanced at him sideways, "Where are you going?"
She raised her hand and looked at the time. It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.
"Just sit down." Night Owl only gave her four words.
It was very windy outside. She was wearing a dark dress with a beige windbreaker on the outside. Her legs were bare and thin. The wind blew and the coolness seeped in. She sniffed and rolled up the car window. She just said, "Can you drive slower? I just had dinner. You rushed over at such a fast speed. My stomach is very uncomfortable."
He turned around and said, "Is it because I met my future parents-in-law and had a meal with them that you feel bad?"
Bai Suye covered his stomach and said nothing more. However, he could clearly feel that the speed of the night owl was gradually slowing down, maintaining a speed of 120 yards.
After that, she said nothing more. The carriage returned to silence.
She had been sleeping poorly recently, and now Night Owl was next to her, sitting in his car. For some reason, she felt sleepy all of a sudden.
"Can I get some sleep?"
"I'll call you when we get there."
Bai Suye didn't know where Ye Xiao wanted to take her, but as she watched the highway flashing before her eyes, she even had a funny fantasy... If this car could just keep driving like this, leaving everything behind and driving forever, that would be great...
She fantasized and slowly closed her eyes.
I didn't know how long I slept. When I woke up, the car was parked in the service area. I was wearing the clothes of Night Owl, but there was no one in the driver's seat.
Looking around, the service area was very quiet late at night, so quiet that it made me feel uneasy. Especially... I didn't know where the other person was at the moment.
Waking up alone in a strange place felt like being abandoned. This feeling made her panic and feel terrible.
She held his clothes, got out of the car, and walked quickly in her high heels towards the lighted store in the service area. Before she walked in, the door of the store was pushed open from the inside.
The tall figure, wearing a white shirt and covered in the dim yellow light, walked out. When he saw her, he stopped in his tracks. He saw through her panic that she had not had time to hide, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Bai Suye felt a little vulnerable, and she really wanted to run over and run into his arms. But in the end, she just hugged his coat tightly for a long time before asking softly, "Where... is this place?"
"Mucheng. Go further and you will reach Mujie Mountain."
Mujie Mountain
Bai Suye's heart tightened, "Where are we going?"
Night Owl looked at her solemnly, and said nothing more, "Since you are awake, come in. See if you want to eat something. It will take some time to get here."
After he finished speaking, he went back into the store.
Bai Suye stood outside, facing the wind, looking at the back, and her nose suddenly felt sore. He no longer spoke to her cruelly and ruthlessly as before, and even wanted to take her to Mujie Mountain...
That is a snowy mountain.
A sacred place for couples to fall in love.
Ten years ago, Bai Suye told him that she hoped that after returning to China, one day she could have him accompany her to Mujie Mountain to see the snow, fall in love, and do what many couples would do...
