A surge of warmth surged up her heart, like a raging beast, engulfing her entire body.
A strange emotion that she had not experienced in years started to spread from the bottom of her heart.
Su Zhinian had been talking for a long time, but Song Qingchun did not reply, so he replied absent-mindedly, "Hmm?"
Song Qingchun recovered from her reverie. "What's wrong?"
The moment she asked that question, Song Qingchun understood what Su Zhinian meant. She quickly added, "It's just that I'm bored in the car, so I'm outside. Besides, I've been moving all this time, so it's not that cold …"
Song Qingchun's teeth chattered involuntarily as a gust of cold wind blew past her.
Song Qingchun pouted and came up with another excuse. "Furthermore, the starry sky here is especially beautiful. I've been in the city since I was young, but I've never seen anything like it. It's just like the pictures on the internet …"
This was the only place that had a signal. If she returned to the car, the line would be cut off.
She was the only one in the wilderness. She would rather be frozen like this than face such an empty and quiet world and wait.
Furthermore, she was on the phone with him, listening to the rustling sound of the car on his end, and it was comforting.
Su Zhinian knew Song Qingchun was lying, but he had no idea why she would lie. He was afraid that she might get sick from the cold, so he increased the speed of the car.
She continued to ramble on about how beautiful the starry sky was on her end. He was afraid that she might feel awkward, so he would occasionally reply with a "hmm."
In the end, she probably had nothing more to say, so when she heard his "En", she replied with an "En". Then, when he replied with another "En", she would reply with another "En". He didn't know how many times this had been repeated, but she actually burst out laughing. Then, he heard the sound of her stomping her feet and jumping around, probably trying to keep warm through the exercise.
The two of them were quiet for a long time. Perhaps bored by the wait, she asked, "Su Zhinian, can you turn on the music in the car?"
"Okay." Su Zhinian pressed the button to turn on the music.
Su Zhinian listened to Song Qingchun's request and switched to a music channel. He purposely increased the volume because he was afraid that she might not be able to hear it.
Late at night, the music in the car was some familiar old songs. As she ran, she hummed along with the tunes.
Su Zhinian looked at the road that was slowly emptying of cars, and at that moment, there was a glimmer of hope that time would stop.
The journey from the city to Song Qingchun's place would take at least four hours, but Su Zhinian used one hour and twenty minutes to reach State Highway 108.
After driving for about ten minutes, Su Zhinian heard Song Qingchun's voice twice in his ears.
The first time came from the receiver of the mobile phone.
The second sound came from the far end of the mountain path.
The signal on the mountain was bad, so the call between Su Zhinian and Song Qingchun started to break. Even the radio in the car became static.
Fortunately, her "Hey, hey, hey" voice was getting closer and closer to his ear.
It was not until Su Zhinian turned another corner that he saw Song Qingchun standing on the hill not far away from him through the car's high beam headlights.
