I couldn't help but feel a little bittersweet.

But as Li Hao turned around, he still managed a smile.

Li Hao had obviously seen it, but he didn't point it out.

During the drive, the car remained quiet except for the faint sound of air coming out of the air conditioning vents.

She remained conscious throughout the entire journey.

As Li Hao drove, he secretly glanced at her twice in the rearview mirror. She was looking out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

Perhaps it was the quietness of the journey that made the trip seem much faster.

When they took the person to the place Zheng Zhonglai had arranged, Zheng Zhonglai had not yet arrived.

It had started to drizzle outside, and large raindrops were hitting the car window with a dripping sound.

On this day, Li Hao had hoped to get something out of her, but the quiet atmosphere in the car made it too difficult to speak.

He wasn't a smoker, but at that moment he actually wanted to smoke to ease the awkwardness.

Sun Xiaoxiao focused her gaze on the man in the driver's seat.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "What do you want to know from me?"

As her calm voice faded, a bolt of lightning struck outside, and the sound of rain hitting the window grew louder.

Li Hao looked into her eyes.

This time, Sun Xiaoxiao did not avoid his gaze, staring straight at him as if trying to see through him.

Li Hao felt inexplicably guilty. Did she notice?

The car was completely quiet.

A car from Zhengzhou drove up from a distance, its high beams shining through the rain and through the car window onto the faces of the two people.

It was brighter than lightning.

Sun Xiaoxiao, with a burst of strength from who-knows-where, lunged forward and knocked Li Hao down onto the driver's seat.

The switch was accidentally pressed, and the back of the driver's seat slowly lowered.

She threw herself into Li Hao's arms, causing the car to shake violently with her movement.
