Chapter 18: We're Even
It was almost midnight after the supper was over, and the sky was starting to rain, and everyone was saying goodbye under the eaves in front of the barbecue restaurant.
Mo Beichen, as today's host, naturally waited for the others to leave first, until in the end, only she and Lu Zan were left.
Thinking of Xiao Xiang's words at the dinner table just now, Mo Beichen was still a little uncomfortable.
"You go first. β
"Why don't I send you off, the western suburbs are too remote, you are a girl so late......"
"No, I'll just take a taxi. Mo Beichen hurriedly met Lu Zan's blazing gaze and hurriedly interrupted.
"But ......" Lu Zan wanted to say something, and when he saw Mo Beichen's chiseled appearance, he swallowed it back when he said it.
Seeing this, Mo Beichen smiled and added, "Don't worry, I'll call you when I get home." β
Then compare a phone gesture.
"Alright then!" Lu Zan shrugged his shoulders and reached out to help her stop a taxi.
Mo Beichen sat in and waved goodbye.
The rain also got heavier and heavier along the way.
The city of Tsu in the rain also has a bustling city that cannot be concealed, and the colorful lights are reflected in the car windows, and through the windows and raindrops, the phantoms that change color one after another in the eyes are beautiful.
It's just that this beautiful city seems a little far away, far away from her hometown and relatives, and she can't even have the right to announce her identity. Her marriage is like these good-looking phantoms, which can only be watched from afar, and can never touch the warmth. ......
"The rain is finally light. β
The taxi driver's words made Mo Beichen notice that the car had already driven onto the suburban road. The lights have also become monolithic, and the road with almost no pedestrians under the dim yellow street lamps seems a little lonely.
It was indeed very late.
In the distance, Mo Beichen saw a car parked on the side of the road, flashing and flashing, which was conspicuous on the lonely suburban road.
At the moment when the car rental car was about to drive out of her sight, Mo Beichen hurriedly shouted, "Master, stop!"
The driver subconsciously braked suddenly, and turned his head in surprise after stopping, "What's wrong?"
Mo Beichen pointed out the window. "Someone over there might need help!"
Through the raindrop-stained window, you can vaguely see a man lying in front of the car in the rain to test something.
"Miss, it's not my job, I don't know how to fix cars. The driver turned around and tried to start the car again.
"No, not for you to fix his car. I just asked him if he needed a ride. β
Seeing that the driver was still hesitating, "I'll pay double the fare!"
"Oh well. β
Hurriedly rolled down the window, folded his hands and shouted to the man not far away, "Sir, do you want a ride?"
The man seemed to stand up and look at this side, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards them as if he had entered the car.
The man walked up, and Mo Beichen just wanted to signal him to sit in the front passenger seat, but he had already opened the door of the back seat and got in.
Mo Beichen hurriedly moved in to make room for her.
"Thank you. The man lowered his head as he straightened his rain-soaked hair and suit.
"Master, let's drive!" Seeing that the man was ready, Mo Beichen said to the taxi driver.
The driver started the car, "Where are you going, gentleman?"
"I'll go to Qizhuang Road. This young lady, are you hereβ"?
The man next to him turned his head, but directly said her name, "Mo Beichen?"
"Are you ......" she noticed that the handsome man in front of her was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
She suddenly remembered the man who gave her a ride at the bus stop when she went to Grand Hyatt.
"My name is Song Yifan. Why, Miss Mo doesn't remember me?" the man remembered that she said she was looking for a job, and he gave her a business card. Did she forget, or did she not even look at the business card she gave her?
This woman was a little different, and although he wasn't confident enough to burst into it, the level of popularity he felt among the women around him reminded him. He is also a man who is attractive to the opposite sex.
"Remember... Of course I do. You helped me then, how could I forget?"
Mo Beichen was inevitably embarrassed, she gave her a business card at that time, but because of the hurry that day, she didn't know where she got it. So she didn't know what this man's surname was.
"Did you help me once today? That looks like we're even. Song Yifan looked at her with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
She didn't know how to answer, so she had to laugh with her.
Just as he was about to fall silent, the man's cell phone rang.
"Hey, Chen Qi. β
......
The person on the other end of the line didn't know what was being said.
Song Yifan said here: "I have already called the towing company, you can contact them." Just tell them where they are. Also, don't pick me up, I've already hitchhiked away. β
"That's for now. β
Hanging up the phone, Song Yifan turned his head to look at her again, "Miss Mo, thank you really for today." If it weren't for you, I would have waited for someone to come to my rescue. β
Mo Beichen hadn't replied yet, and the driver, who hadn't spoken along the way, suddenly interjected: "Yes, you have to thank this young lady." She's willing to pay me double the fare for you!"
"Oh, is it?" Song Yifan looked at Mo Beichen sincerely with a grateful gaze
Seeing that Mo Beichen was very restrained, he hurriedly said, "You're welcome, it should be." β
........
During the conversation, the car had stopped on the road in front of her small villa.
"This young lady, you have arrived at the place. β
"Oh, okay. Goodbye sir!" Mo Beichen politely smiled at Song Yifan, and then got out of the car.
When Song Yifan remembered to say something again, Mo Beichen had already trotted away into the rainy night, and the lights in the small building turned on immediately.
Song Yifan sighed slightly and said to the driver, "Let's go!"
