Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Chance Encounter on the Road

There were relatively few men among the colleagues who participated in the newcomer's welcome party, and during the period when Xiao Nan fell asleep on the table, most of the men had already left, and as for how a few of them who drank too much were going to go home, only God knows. The girls in the design department who don't have a boyfriend either take a taxi or ride an electric car go home by themselves, and those girls who have boyfriends take out their mobile phones and call their boyfriends to come and pick them up in a coquettish tone, and don't forget to show their affection in front of their colleagues when they leave.

In the end, there were four or five girls left, including Xiao Nan, who had not left, it turned out that they said that they wanted to take Wang Dan's minivan home together, and sure enough, after a while, Wang Dan drove a slightly shabby Wuling Light and parked at the door of the restaurant.

"Xiao Cheng, you drank a little too much today, and no one came to pick you up at such a late hour, why don't you go together, I'll let Wang Dan send you home first, right?" Li Tong tugged on Xiao Nan's sleeve and said.

"No, I'm blowing a cool breeze right now, and I don't feel so dizzy. Besides, my locomotive is still parked here, I can't leave the car here, I will definitely ......lose it tomorrow morning," Xiao Nan smiled at Li Tong and said, "Okay, I'm fine, at most drive slower on the road, you go first, don't worry about me, it's not too early, I have to go to work tomorrow......"

"Xiao Cheng, or I'll let everyone squeeze in front of the car, you can bring the car up too......" Wang Dan pushed open the door on the side of the co-pilot, poked his head out and persuaded Xiao Nan: "I see that you have drunk a lot tonight, I'm afraid that you will encounter something on the road again, you are a girl yourself...... You see, it's almost ten o'clock......"

Wang Dan didn't dare to drink much tonight because he was going to drive, unlike Xiao Nan, whose cheeks were still crimson like rouge until now. "Yes, Xiaocheng, it's so late, let's squeeze in and lift your car up. Li Tong also persuaded Xiao Nan to come.

Xiao Nan smiled helplessly, this kind of heart-warming care always makes people have no resistance at all...... But this small Wuling Light can't fit her DIOZ4 at all, let alone there are already four or five people sitting in it, plus her and Li Tong, it can't be squeezed into canned sardines......

"Thank you...... But I still don't get in the car......" Xiao Nan pushed Li Tong behind her back and pushed her into the co-pilot's seat. "I have already made an appointment with my friend, he will pick me up halfway, you can leave with confidence!"

"Yes? I see. Li Tong sat down suspiciously and fastened his seat belt. "Xiao Cheng, didn't you say you don't have a boyfriend? Why is someone coming to pick you up halfway now? Don't fool us......"

"Oops...... Okay......" Xiao Nan was forced to have no choice but to pretend to be very mysterious: "It's just an ordinary friend, in short, someone picks it up, don't worry about me, let's go!"

It seems that in front of a group of girls with a strong sense of gossip, the word "ordinary friend" is far more ambiguous than "boyfriend", and the girls in the car, even Wang Dan, after hearing Xiao Nan's words, their faces were immediately full of curious expressions, and even Xiao Nan's already red face was immediately seen as a girl's shyness in their eyes.

"Oh...... It seems that Xiao Cheng really has someone to pick it up, okay, in this case, we can rest assured, then let's say goodbye!" Li Tong stretched out his hand from the car window and shook it at Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan also gently raised her arm and waved her little hand: "Goodbye! Let Wang Dan drive slowly on the road......"

Seeing Wang Dan's broken van gradually disappear into the night, a wry smile appeared on Xiao Nan's face. Where does she have a boyfriend, there are a lot of ordinary friends, but it's so late, how embarrassed is she to trouble others to pick her up, and this matter does seem a little ambiguous......

Wait, why should I let the man pick it up, faint to death...... Unconsciously, my mind followed the train of thought of these gossip girls, do I need a man to pick me up?

Xiao Nan shook her head helplessly, took out the car key and walked to the parking lot......

…………

……

On both sides of the Second Ring Road, on the high-rise buildings one after another, LED neon lights are constantly changing colors, brightly lit shop windows are full of colors, and under the reflection of various high-power landscape lights, the Z city at night shows an extraordinarily blurry and enchanting. Xiao Nan pushed her DIOZ4 and walked slowly in the direction of home, she had not had such leisure as today to enjoy the beautiful night view of Z City.

Since the racing accident half a year ago, Xiao Nan has lived in despair and self-blame every day, six months of numbness like the walking dead, followed by half a month of body ulceration and rapid aging, and then after experiencing the painful transformation of that night on the cliff on the top of the mountain, she turned into a girl and returned to the city, confused and afraid of her future life, and did not know how to face her relatives and lovers......

Finally, all of this is now over, and at least for now, it seems that the dust has finally settled on this series of serious consequences, after paying the price of oneself. With tonight's welcome party, it seems that the trajectory of my life has returned to the way it was six months ago, with family and lovers recognizing me, friends and brothers reuniting with me, and coming to a new company to do the same work as before......

The only difference is that I have become a girl, but ...... Aren't boys and girls still the same to eat, drink, and sleep? Aren't they the same and have to work hard to pursue their dreams? Speaking of which, it seems that life is not much different from before......

Xiao Nan pushed the car and didn't dare to go too fast, because his right knee was still hurting, tonight on a whim at the welcome meeting with Manager Gao played a game, but when he dodged in the last flash, the wound was almost torn because of the action was too big, if not, how could he tear off the hairband that tied his hair? Now I finally tasted the evil fruit of excitement, as long as I walked a little faster, my right knee would hurt like a pinprick, I didn't listen to any stories if I knew this, and now I can't go fast, and because I drank alcohol, I don't dare to drive and can only push, it's really curious to kill the cat.

She didn't know how many kilometers she had walked forward, anyway, it was far away from the urban village near the Third Ring Road, Xiao Nan regretted a little that she should find a place to save the car and then take a taxi home, just then she suddenly saw a pair of men and women who seemed to be arguing under the street lamp in the distance, looking at the boy's figure and dress, he was vaguely a tiger.

"I'm still pestering with the girl so late, this guy is really hopeless......" Xiao Nan pushed the cart and quietly walked towards the pair of men and women. When she approached the distance of more than ten meters, she could already be completely sure that the boy was indeed Huzi, this guy was dressed quite handsome today, with the style of a merry boy, but the girl Xiao Nan opposite him didn't recognize it.

This is not surprising, since Xiao Nan's racing accident, a series of troubles are riddled with things, how can she have the heart to care about whether Huzi has changed his girlfriend again, such a boring thing, anyway, the girl next to Dumas always has a new face every few weeks, and the ghost remembers that this girl is the first now.

It seems that the girl is dressed fashionably and boldly, and her figure is also beautiful, but at this time, she is like a raging beast roaring wildly at Huzi, but Huzi has both hands in her pants pockets, and she looks away with half a cigarette in her mouth, and she looks like she is not listening to what the girl opposite is shouting.

Xiao Nan wanted to hear clearly what the girl was saying, but she was afraid that the two would find out and cause unnecessary trouble, so when she saw a phone booth next to the two, she pushed Z4 and tiptoed over there. Before Xiao Nan hid in place, a sudden "snap" slap sounded, which was particularly crisp in the quiet night, and the girl who was with Huzi had already cried and ran away, leaving Huzi standing in place, covering the red palm prints on her face with her hands, watching the girl run to the side of the road and reach out to try to stop a taxi.

"Stupid, why don't you hurry up and chase it!" Xiao Nan went around to Huzi's back and pushed him hard, Huzi staggered forward, turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Nan, the expression on his face was very embarrassed.

"Why are you still stunned, go and chase her, she is leaving, just go and coax her!" Xiao Nan raised his foot and pretended to kick Huzi's ass, but Huzi shook his head at her with a wry smile: "No need, we're already done......"

Huzi didn't seem to care at all as he had just pretended, and he sat down on the steps by the side of the road with his head downcast, scratching his head vigorously to hide his emotions. Xiao Nan took out a box of cigarettes from his backpack, shook the cigarette box to reveal half of the cigarette tail and handed it to Huzi: "Get one?"

Huzi stretched his neck and took the cigarette out of the cigarette case with his mouth, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, Xiao Nan himself also took one in his mouth, let Huzi light it and clamp it in his hand but did not smoke it, wiped the steps with his hand and was about to sit down.

"Wait a minute...... Huzi hurriedly took out a pair of driver's gloves from his pocket and put them on the steps.

"Rely on ......" Xiao Nan knew what he meant, after all, she also had a girlfriend who had been dating for more than a year, and the girl was afraid of catching a cold - really embarrassing......

After sitting down, Xiao Nan took two puffs of cigarettes, but he didn't dare to suck it into his lungs and quickly spit it out, and then looked at Huzi, this guy turned his face sideways to the other side and didn't know what to look at.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"You've seen it all, what is there to say...... Broke up......" Huzi said vaguely as he smoked a cigarette.

"You're!" Xiao Nan pushed Huzi hard. "Actually, I've wanted to talk about you for a long time, when will you be more mature, such a big person, look at how many girlfriends you've changed in the past two years? Are you very accomplished when Dumas? You weren't like this when I first met you......"

"......" Huzi just smoked silently and didn't look back at Xiao Nan.

"Your sister, you still dare to play dead with me!" Xiao Nan used his elbow to put Huzi's ribs: "Hey, you have something to say!"
