Lu Bancheng's hand froze in midair.
After a few seconds, he withdrew his hand and stuffed it back into his pocket. With a calm expression, he stood by the car for a while and then glanced at Xu Wennuan through the window. She was already seated and was looking at him with a puzzled expression, but he had yet to get into the car.
She noticed his gaze, and their eyes met for less than a second before she averted her gaze.
Lu Bancheng's Adam's apple bobbed up and down twice before he retracted his gaze and exhaled softly. He pretended not to notice the girl's resistance and alienation toward him as he calmly walked around the front of the car and got in. Then he started the engine and skillfully drove the car in the direction of Lijiang.
Xu Wennuan sat quietly in the backseat the entire way, maintaining her posture as she stared out the window.
Lu Bancheng glanced at Xu Wennuan from time to time through the rearview mirror but did not say anything to disturb her.
As the car sped along the highway, the atmosphere in the car became slightly awkward after a long period of silence. To avoid awkwardness, Lu Bancheng turned on the car radio and found a music station. Soothing music soon filled every corner of the car.
After driving for about an hour, they arrived at the first service station, and Lu Bancheng turned the car into a gas station.
When Lu Bancheng paid for the gas at the gas station, he was carrying a bag in his hand. He returned to the driver's seat and only took out a bottle of water from the bag. He then placed the rest of the bag on the empty seat beside Xu Wennuan. "If you're bored, you can have something to eat."
Xu Wennuan thanked Lu Bancheng and then glanced at the bag. The bag was not sealed, and she could clearly see that there was a bottle of water, as well as many fruits and snacks inside.
Lu Bancheng did not respond to Xu Wennuan's thanks. He fastened his seatbelt and continued on the road.
This time, the car didn't take long before it began to drizzle, and the car was forced to slow down.
Xu Wennuan had woken up early that morning. She had been in the car for a long time and was feeling sleepy. Her eyelids drooped uncontrollably for the umpteenth time when the car suddenly came to a stop.
Xu Wennuan thought that he had something else to do, so she didn't pay much attention to him. After a while, she heard the sound of him starting the engine. When she realized that the car hadn't started, she opened her eyes in confusion. She saw him push open the car door, get out of the car in the rain, and walk around to the front of the car. He lifted the hood and held up his phone, which had a flashlight on, and stared into the interior of the car for some time. He then returned to the car and tried to start the engine again. When he still couldn't start the car, he took out his phone and called the car rental company. After reporting the situation and location, he hung up. Xu Wennuan, who had already understood what had happened, asked, "Is the car broken down?"
"Yes." Lu Bancheng looked back at Xu Wennuan and explained, "The engine suddenly died. I don't know what happened, but the rental company has already sent someone over. We might have to wait in the car for a while."
Xu Wennuan nodded her head and softly said, "Oh."
The car once again descended into silence. Lu Bancheng leaned against the driver's seat and looked at his phone. Xu Wennuan, who had lost her phone, could only stare out the window.
Time passed slowly, and the sleepiness that had subsided because of the car problem once again engulfed Xu Wennuan.
