Roughly a few minutes later, Lin Muyan unexpectedly found that the distance of the taxi displayed on her phone was gradually increasing. She looked at the driver's contact information and dialed directly. After a few beeps, a rude "hello" came from the other end.
"Where are you now? I checked your driving route on the app, and it seems like you are not..."
"You, a taxi passenger, why do you care so much? There are many people taking taxis on rainy days. I'm willing to take whoever wants to ride. If you don't want to, then don't! Beep beep..."
The phone call abruptly ended, and Lin Muyan was so angry that she wanted to throw her phone. She was already taking orders and now she wanted to take on private work as well. How could she always take advantage of everything so easily! And she dared to scold her! Lin Muyan pressed hard on the "cancel order" button, thinking that the order would be canceled and her deposit would be refunded. But to her surprise, the phone displayed "Your order has been accepted, and you have exceeded the time limit for a refund of the deposit."
The money is not much, but the mood has reached an extreme low.
Xiao Chen called at this time, Lin Muyan hung up without even looking and then made a complaint call.
She angrily complained to customer service about the inhumane design of Bobo Taxi, and then said that if they couldn't refund her deposit, they should wait for the court summons.
After she vented her anger, she saw three missed calls from Xiao Chen with a sense of grievance. As her emotions calmed down, she checked her phone and sent him a location. At this stage, she didn't even want to see the words "take a taxi."
Downstairs in the Land Rover, Xiao Chen is messaging Lin Muyan. He actually arrived 30 minutes ago, but he resisted telling Lin Muyan immediately because of what Wen Zimo said. "Appropriate initiative is attractive, excessive initiative is a burden. Lin Muyan seems like the type who likes to handle things herself. You'd better not step on her landmine." Xiao Chen saw Lin Muyan's response location and smirked, waiting a few minutes before saying he had arrived.
He turned on the long-stalled windshield wiper and stared intently at the hotel's entrance.
Lin Muyan had said to only wait at the entrance and not to come up to pick someone up.
But when a stumbling woman supported another clearly unconscious woman out of the hotel entrance, Xiao Chen forgot what Lin Muyan had said and, slamming the car door, went to pick them up.
Lin Muyan dragged Liu Er Bao out, feeling like she was about to fall apart. Her high heels were now crooked and her ankles were aching. Without warning, Liu Er Bao's weight pressed onto her again, causing Lin Muyan to quickly tilt to one side under the force of gravity. Just as her waist was about to give out, a pair of strong arms embraced her, the bare half of the arms still moist from the rain, warming her willowy waist. It seemed as if all the grievances and frustrations from before had suddenly disappeared.
"You wait here, I'll be right back," Xiao Chen said as he effortlessly lifted Liu Er Bao and hurriedly placed him in the back seat, as if carrying something as light as cotton in the pouring rain. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly ran back to the car after rummaging in the trunk for a while.
His bangs were wet from the rain, and raindrops ran down his eyelashes and fell, but his gaze remained focused on Lin Muyan's face, with a look of concentration that seemed to make people feel sorry for him as if he would miss her with every blink.
"Here you go."
He handed the umbrella handle to Lin Muyan, then seeing Lin Muyan looking at him blankly, he seemed to think of something and regretfully took the umbrella back.
Before Lin Muyan could say anything, he suddenly opened the umbrella and pressed it in Lin Muyan's direction with a bang.
"Let's go, it's getting heavier." He said, reaching out to put his hand on Lin Muyan's shoulder, but then hesitated in mid-air. Seeing that Lin Muyan did not resist, he slowly placed his hand on her shoulder and gently pulled her to his side. The pouring rain splashed on them, causing a slight stinging sensation. Lin Muyan was protected in his embrace, her head securely sheltered by the umbrella, while only the damp arm at her side reminded her that Xiao Chen had been tilting the umbrella, leaving his whole body drenched.
Lin Muyan couldn't quite describe her own feelings. She tried to attribute the sourness in her heart to drinking, but she knew deep down that it wasn't the case. It wasn't like that. After escorting Lin Muyan into the car, Xiao Chen quickly retrieved the umbrella and got into the driver's seat. His whole body was damp, making him uncomfortable, but his expression remained unchanged. He calmly fastened his seatbelt and then reminded Lin Muyan to do the same.
Lin Muyan didn't move, and for a while, she looked at Xiao Chen with a puzzled expression, stubborn and obstinate.
"You're so strange," she said, but Xiao Chen felt like she might burst into tears the next second, anxiously fidgeting with her fingers.
Lin Muyan didn't care about him, "We've only met a few times and chatted a few times. We can't really say we're close. I even rudely ran away after sleeping with you. You shouldn't be mad at me, swearing to never have any dealings with me again, right?"
According to normal logic, being played like this, one would definitely not want to see that person again.
But Xiao Chen kept waiting for her, looking for her, trying to have a calm conversation with her, and then start over.
What's starting? They never even started.
Lin Muyan increasingly felt that the man in front of her was so strange that it made her mouth feel bitter.
Xiao Chen seemed to not understand why she was looking at him like that, scratching his head, and somewhat depressed, he said, "Can you not look at me like that? It makes me uncomfortable. I'm not mad at you, and I don't want to cut off contact with you. I want to see you."
"Really, I don't lie to you."
He raised his left hand, with four fingers pointing upwards and the thumb pressed against the palm.
Lin Muyan listened blankly, realizing that he didn't have any fancy words, just plain and even a bit frustrated tone, he really meant it.
"I, I'm not good at all."
Lin Muyan was a little flustered, "I have many pursuers, I have always looked down on them, I am very picky, and I choose my partners randomly."
"It's okay, I just need you to be faithful. I like you, Lin Muyan, I don't know why, but being with you, I feel warm every moment. I know you are the one I want."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile emerged from his pure black eyes. "I am also very picky, so I chose you. I'm not afraid of your pickiness. No matter how many pursuers you have, I am confident that I can become the most special person in your heart. Give me a chance, okay?"
"Why do you like someone like me..."
Lin Muyan lowered her head and murmured softly, "I'm not worthy at all. I've been so bad to you. Why do you like me..."
Xiao Chen smiled as he held her face, watching her look embarrassed in front of him. His smile deepened, "Liking someone is just liking them. Who says there has to be a reason? I like you, Lin Muyan. Let me say it a few more times. I like you, very very much."
Suddenly, there was an impatient sound from the back seat. Liu Er Bao seemed to mumble something in his sleep, not very soundly.
Lin Muyan was startled. She had forgotten that there was still a Liu Er Bao in the car because of this person.
She blushed and wanted to avoid Xiao Chen, but found that he was like a plaster that couldn't be shaken off, and the distance between them seemed to be getting closer and closer. Finally, she surrendered. Lin Muyan never opposed herself.
"Do you really not regret it?" She raised her eyebrows and asked Xiao Chen again. When he obediently nodded, she hugged Xiao Chen's neck and kissed him on the corner of his mouth. "You were the one who seduced me first. I'm a very persistent person. Since you've chosen me, don't think about getting rid of me in the future."
"Nice to meet you, my boyfriend," she reached out and made a handshake gesture. Xiao Chen was stunned for two seconds, then shook her hand and suddenly pulled her upper body into his arms, whispering by her ear, "Okay, my girlfriend." The warmth of the embrace and the coldness outside the window brought the atmosphere in the car to a climax. Lin Muyan's light kisses spread out by Xiao Chen, and the two of them were like butterflies with positive and negative poles, irresistibly drawn to each other, feeling each other's love.
Such tenderness continued until the sound of a smack on the lips came from the back seat again. Blushing, Lin Muyan pushed away the still unsatisfied Xiao Chen. Her fingers, fastening the seatbelt, were tinged with pink. "Focus on driving, we still need to take Er Bao home." Xiao Chen obeyed, but still looked a bit unsatisfied. Taking advantage of Lin Muyan's lowered head, he stole a kiss before happily starting the car.
The rainy road is not easy to drive on. Every time I drive for a while, I am forced to stop due to sudden congestion ahead. Xiao Chen, who has always loved speed, now eagerly hopes for more time to hold Lin Muyan's hand a little longer, with their fingers intertwined.
Lin Muyan blushes and quietly looks down at the tightly held hand, not stopping the somewhat sweet and sudden romantic gestures of this young romanticist.
After bringing Liu Er Bao home, Lin Muyan reluctantly says goodnight, but before long, Xiao Chen steps through the door. He looks at Liu Er Bao on the sofa, then at Lin Muyan, whose clothes are mostly wet despite trying to avoid it, and his deep black eyes seem even darker.
"I still have to take care of Er Bao."
Lin Muyan glanced at Liu Er Bao, indicating to Xiao Chen that it was time to leave.
But Xiao Chen didn't move, instead, he held her in his arms and gently kissed the top of her head.
Since the two of them confirmed their romantic relationship, he has been eager for this kind of physical contact.
"We are a couple now," he emphasized solemnly, and Lin Muyan nodded, "Yes, I know."
"Couples should not live apart." Xiao Chen furrowed his brows, created some distance, and looked down at Lin Muyan, "Couples should live together. You and I should live together."
