Han Lu looked at Zhang Heng, seemingly waiting for the latter's answer. However, Zhang Heng was looking at the road ahead. "The Buick on the right is about to change lanes," he said.
"Oh."
At this stage, Tesla's autopilot was only at Lv.2, far from the level it was advertised to be. It could still operate normally in some relatively open areas, but in the city, especially those with serious traffic jams, the driver would have to take over when the road conditions were slightly more complicated. Han Lu obediently switched back to manual mode when she heard what Zhang Heng said.
"But I still need to bring my passport when I go abroad. My passport is in my hometown, and there's also the visa issue," Zhang Heng said. "I don't have a change of clothes. We can't leave today."
"Don't worry. I called Xiao Xia and asked your grandfather to send your passport. Someone will handle the visa issue for you. We can just wait at the airport. As for clothes, it's even easier. We can buy them when we get there," Han Lu said.
"…"
"It seems that I have no reason to refuse. Thank you," Zhang Heng said politely.
"No, I will feel more at ease on vacation with you around. I don't want to experience being unable to sleep for a few days again." Han Lu seemed to still have lingering fears.
Unknown dangers were the most frightening. Even an elite like Han Lu could do nothing in the face of supernatural forces. For someone like her, who was used to being in control of everything, losing control made her feel even more uneasy.
Han Lu could not help but look at Zhang Heng in the passenger seat again. She had no idea how people like Zhang Heng and Shen Xixi, who had been living in the mysterious dark world, could resist this kind of loss of control. Especially Zhang Heng, who always looked quiet and rational.
Even when he was in danger, he was still calm and methodical. It was as if what he was facing was no different from sitting in a classroom, listening to a teacher's lecture or playing basketball on the basketball court.
Han Lu had met countless people over the years, but she had never met a man like Zhang Heng. The time they spent together was a completely strange and novel experience for her. She had done many things that she would never do before, and said many things that she would never say before.
Especially on the last night, when she realized that it might be her last night in the world, she completely broke down and even blurted out words like "I wanted to have sex with you."
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the sentence itself. Han Lu had been single for a long time, and she didn't lack money. She must have tried some ways to solve her physiological needs. However, this desire had always remained at the physiological level for her.
However, the situation that night was different, especially considering that Zhang Heng was the son of her best friend, Xiao Xia. It made her feel a sense of betrayal.
Fortunately, neither of them mentioned it again after that. Zhang Heng acted as if he didn't remember her saying such a thing, and Han Lu threw herself back into work, hoping to get back on track with her busy work. Since the incident in the Dreamland of Death, the two hadn't contacted each other for a while.
However, Han Lu found that her time-tested trick seemed to have failed this time. After hesitating for two days, Han Lu contacted Xiao Xia and asked the latter for Zhang Heng's passport.
Xiao Xia was a thick-skinned person. Of course, she wouldn't have any ulterior motives. She even praised Han Lu, saying that she was a good friend and that she would entrust her son to a tycoon to take care of him. This made the sense of betrayal in Han Lu's heart increase.
In the end, Han Lu drove the Model S to Zhang Heng's school, and four hours later, the two got on a plane to Okinawa. But Han Lu was Han Lu, after all. When she leaned back in the first-class seat, she had driven most of the distracting thoughts out of her mind.
Some things were useless to overthink, and it was better to let nature take its course.
She didn't want to go against her subjective will because of her former friendship, but she didn't want it to end up like this. In fact, during the process of getting along with Zhang Heng, she found that the boy in front of her rarely revealed his emotions. This time, her feelings were even more obvious. Although Zhang Heng was sitting next to her, she always felt that as soon as she closed her eyes, he would disappear.
It was a woman's sixth sense.
Han Lu picked up the cup in front of her and chatted casually. "What about the girl who was with you before? She's not Shen Xixi. She's the girl who drove my Lexus."
"Beauty Fan?" Zhang Heng said, "I don't know. I haven't been able to contact her for a long time. The last time I saw her, she complained to me that it's too expensive to maintain your car. She asked me when you can drive it back."
In fact, after Zhang Heng returned from Rome, he tried to contact Beauty Fan. He even called the latter's phone, but all he got was a cold voice notification that the user he dialed was turned off.
"I won't take back anything I give away. If she doesn't like it, she can sell it at a discount. Of course, it's not a bad idea if she keeps it for herself. I can reimburse her for the subsequent maintenance costs." Han Lu took a sip of water and continued, "After all, she almost lost her life because of me."
"I will tell her," Zhang Heng said.
"Are you worried about her?" Han Lu then raised her eyebrows and asked.
"A little, mainly because the guy behind her is not an ideal partner. Given his countless dark history," Zhang Heng said frankly. Beauty Fan was Loki's agent, and in Norse mythology, this man had caused a lot of trouble.
In reality, Zhang Heng's agents were not easy to deal with. Meinan Fan was one of the better ones, but her sister, the lady in sunglasses, had the three major guilds running around in circles. She had traded a few pieces of plasticine for the Dreamland of Death in front of everyone. In the end, the item fell into the hands of Seth, the God of Chaos, which led to the proliferation of replicas of the Dreamland of Death. Although the three major guilds had worked hard to collect these dangerous items, it was inevitable that some of them would end up in the wild.
Besides, Zhang Heng did not think that this level of chaos could satisfy Seth, especially since there was no news from him or Loki during this time. This was not a good sign.
However, he couldn't talk about this kind of thing to an ordinary person like Han Lu. He thought about it and changed the topic. "You have always had a good relationship with my mother. Have you ever heard her talk to you about the scientific expedition in Greenland?"
