Because she had just cried, her brain was lacking oxygen. The wind on the hillside was so strong that she was a little dazed from the cold. Therefore, she didn't realize that what she had just said didn't sound like an explanation, but more like a grievance.
She tried to explain a lot, but Su Zhinian did not pay much attention to it. He kept thinking about the few keywords that she had said earlier, "The car broke down", "alone" … So, Mr. Su, I have no idea what time I can return … "
"… Therefore, Mr. Su, I also have no idea what time I can return …" Song Qingchun stammered when Su Zhinian, who had been silent all this while, suddenly interrupted her in a flat tone. "Are you on National Highway 108?"
Song Qingchun could not follow Su Zhinian's train of thought. She first uttered a confused "Hmm?" before she recovered and said, "Yes."
"I'm at the northern part of the city, not far from where you are. Wait for me."
Su Zhinian's words were concise, and his tone was calm. When he said the last few words, it sounded like he was giving an order; there was no trace of emotion in them.
However, Song Qingchun had no idea that Su Zhinian, who was in the city, had already chased the driver and Cheng Qingchong out of the car when she said "alone". In fact, before Cheng Qingchong could even grab her bag, Su Zhinian had already stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.
Su Zhinian had broken the speed limit and kept running red lights or illegally occupying the bus lane.
He had one hand on the phone and the other on the steering wheel. His movements were sharp and practiced as he overtook other cars, causing many to roll down their windows and curse at him.
As if he could not hear the curses, he sped toward the northern part of the city.
He asked me to wait for him … Does that mean he's coming to pick me up?
Song Qingchun had a hard time believing what she had just heard. She was stunned for a long time before she replied, "Oh."
When Su Zhinian heard Song Qingchun's reply, he was already on the highway. He wanted to hang up and focus on driving, but when he remembered she was alone in the middle of nowhere, and she had just been crying, he couldn't help but worry. Therefore, he changed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. "Don't hang up, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you later."
"Yes." Song Qingchun answered softly. Her voice was so soft that it was covered by the wind that she didn't even hear her own voice. Therefore, she raised her voice to reply, "I understand."
Su Zhinian nodded in agreement. Due to the high speed of the car, most of Su Zhinian's attention was on the road, so the two of them did not continue the conversation.
All he could hear was the sound of the wind on her side and the sound of her breathing from time to time due to the cold.
Her ears were filled with the rumbling of his car and the occasional sound of him clearing his throat from time to time, probably because his throat was not feeling well.
When Song Qingchun heard that voice, the fear, sadness, panic, and helplessness that she had been feeling started to disappear for some reason.
Even though she was still standing on a desolate road, surrounded by pitch-black darkness, she was no longer as afraid as before. In fact, when she unintentionally raised her head and saw the beautiful starry sky, she even stopped to admire it for a while.
