Huang Xiaojue had already disappeared into the elevator. Upon getting into the car, he didn’t know where to go.
He had never felt so lost in his life. Others didn’t know, but he himself understood clearly. Since taking on a key position in the financial company, he had gradually discovered enormous loopholes. Behind the seemingly prosperous facade was like an empty anthill built on a beach... Yet, everyone was just dragging things out, covering them up. The ignorant populace lived their affluent lives, feeling invincible every day. But one day, this glorious facade would collapse. Only then would everyone realize that behind it lay nothing but a pile of long-rotted cotton... Who would be the one to foot the bill? Who would beco the target of a thousand pointing fingers? The more he learned, bit by bit, the more terrified he beca.
「It was the longest and hottest day of that sumr.」
This city had beco the Sleepness City. The afterglow of the sunset was still visible at eight o’clock in the evening.
The table was filled with abundant dishes, but neither of them could bring themselves to eat. With a worried look on her face, Xu Xiaoya asked, "Xixi, are you sure you can go alone?"
"..."
"Ah, at least let accompany you to bolster your courage. Honestly, I’m really worried about you going alone."
She replied indifferently, "So many people go abroad. Did any of them get lost?"
Xu Xiaoya still looked worried. "How about asking Li Zhen to accompany you? At least you’d have a companion. How can I feel at ease with you going so far alone?"
Yan Xixi laughed. "You’re really sothing. I’m not a child."
When you care about soone, you always think they are weak and timid, incapable of anything. On the contrary, if you don’t care, you’d say: Look how capable she is! Why would she need anyone’s help?
Xu Xiaoya always suspected Yan Xixi would get lost.
"Ah, that Third Master is really sothing else! To just ignore you like that. Doesn’t he have any consideration for a woman’s feelings? Leaving at the drop of a hat—it’s completely heartless and faithless..."
Yan Xixi forced a smile. "I was the one who disappointed him first; I can’t bla him."
Xu Xiaoya disagreed. "But you had no choice, really. He doesn’t show any understanding at all. Letting you go alone like this, how could he possibly be at ease? Sigh."
After breaking up, who cares if you’re going alone or not?
"Xiaoya, don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Nowadays, as long as you can read, there’s absolutely no problem."
"Ah, I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow."
She insisted on seeing her off, and of course, Yan Xixi wouldn’t refuse.
That night, they both had drinks and took a taxi ho.
The driver, probably excited to see two beauties in his car, asked, "Ladies, would you like to listen to a song?"
Xu Xiaoya, thinking he would play so music, casually replied, "Sure."
Unexpectedly, the driver started singing, "The one I love most in my life, don’t reject the burning feeling in your heart. Could you please love again? Let be your lover..."
They looked at each other.
Yet, this weirdo was surprisingly enthusiastic. He sang all the way from "Two Butterflies" to "The Punishnt of Impulse." When he got carried away, he even muttered to himself, "Where’s the applause?"
Neither of them clapped.
But that didn’t matter; the weirdo honked the horn a few tis himself.
What was even more bizarre was when he shouted, "Where are your hands? Let see your hands!"
They were even more perplexed, and then they saw him turning on the windshield wipers!
The windshield wipers!
Finally, the song ended. They both sighed in relief, thinking the "God of Songs" was done with his performance, only to have him bellow, "Friends in the back, where are your cheers, your screams?"
