Extra 50
Seeing this, Qin Anning whispered, "Cousin, let's go. I'm fine."
Bai Lin frowned slightly, glanced at Qin Anning, then at the car in front of them, and said, "It's okay, let them curse."
Whether out of spite or for some other reason, he turned off the car.
"Hey you..." Qin Anning didn't know what to say. She had never thought he was so stubborn before.
She had always thought Bai Lin was easy to talk to, and most of the time he was humble and polite. Why was he acting so recklessly now?
Bai Lin said, "Even if I stop here for half an hour and leave, I will catch up with the car behind me very quickly. There's no point in rushing. Why move little by little?"
"What about the people at the tunnel exit? If they had an accident, will they be affected?"
"No, the road is just closed to traffic over there, but the tunnel is open, and they were rescued a long time ago."
"Okay, then."
Qin Anning didn't say anything more. Although she also wanted to get out as soon as possible, as Bai Lin said, there was no rush. She should rest for a while.
The people in front kept cursing, but no one actually came down to cause trouble; they probably just wanted to vent.
However, after only a ten-minute rest, Qin Anning had Bai Lin drive. From the rearview mirror, they could no longer see the cars behind them.
Bai Lin nodded and then restarted the car. Just as he said, even after waiting for ten minutes, they only drove for two minutes before catching up, and they still had to stop and continue driving.
Of course, it's also possible that someone might change lanes during the gap in the road, since there are two rows of cars there.
Judging from the situation, there must be something wrong with the tunnel entrance behind, which can only allow one car to exit at a time. In addition, some people are in a hurry and are changing lanes back and forth, which has caused severe congestion on both sides.
The further they backed up, the more they noticed people changing lanes from the adjacent lane to their side.
However, after realizing that nothing had changed, everyone became too lazy to change lanes anymore, because cutting in this way would only cause the same traffic jam, and would only benefit the car in front of them.
After two hours of this, Qin Anning finally saw the tunnel entrance.
Sure enough, there was a problem here too. A section of the entrance collapsed, and to prevent further collapse, the passageway on the left was closed to traffic.
With so many cars, they can only exit from one place, which naturally causes a traffic jam.
When she came out, it was pouring rain outside, and the windshield wipers couldn't keep up. Qin Anning finally breathed a long sigh of relief; she had almost suffocated in the tunnel.
She glanced back at the tunnel and couldn't help but mutter, "What a shoddy construction project."
They had to back out for a long distance and merge onto another road before traffic resumed. They could only exit the highway at the previous exit.
It was already 1 a.m. when we got off the highway, and after driving for a while, we arrived in the city around 2 a.m.
The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping. Having not eaten all day, Bai Lin drove around the city. This place was clearly much more lively and bustling than the previous one.
However, only a few late-night snack shops remained open. Bai Lin asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Qin Anning looked around and saw that almost everything was closed except for the barbecue restaurants, so it seemed like there were no other options.
"Let's find a place with lots of people."
Since we were in an unfamiliar place, we figured that a crowded place was a safe bet, and the food would definitely be good.
Bai Lin drove around again and finally found a barbecue restaurant that looked crowded, so he parked the car there.
Qin Anning woke Qin Man up, and Qin Man said irritably, "What do you want!"
"Aren't you hungry?" Qin Anning asked.
Qin Man paused for a moment, then rubbed her stomach, half-awake. "I'm hungry. Are we there yet?"
She looked around and realized she was no longer in the tunnel. Looking at the lights outside, even her morning grumpiness disappeared.
"We arrived a long time ago. You're really carefree; you can even fall asleep here."
"There's nothing I can do, that's just how my biological clock is. Besides, there's no signal in the tunnel, and it's so boring. What else can I do if I don't sleep?"
Qin Anning smiled and said, "Alright, hurry up and get off the bus. Eat first, then go back to sleep."
"Ugh, coming out with you guys has messed up my sleep schedule." Qin Man rubbed her eyes and yawned.
She hadn't eaten anything since 2 or 3 a.m., and she was eating junk food. She was mentally resistant, but her stomach was honest; she hadn't eaten all day and was starving.
Qin Anning felt a little guilty. "I didn't expect things to turn out this way. According to the original plan, we were supposed to finish dinner and go back to the hotel to rest before 10 o'clock. I'm sorry."
Qin Man waved her hand, "Why are you being so polite? You're making me feel embarrassed."
The two are close in age and are considered to be the closest in the Qin family. They usually speak their minds without being as polite or thoughtful as others.
Qin Anning's apology only made Qin Man feel that their relationship had become distant.
Bai Lin handed an umbrella to the two of them, then opened the car door and got out.
This restaurant is indeed very popular. Even at this hour, there are still three tables of people eating barbecue, with six people at one table, drinking and chatting.
They found a spot at the very back, and the first thing Qin Man did after sitting down was to wipe the table, using up half a tissue before stopping.
Looking at the oil stains on the tissue, Qin Man glanced at Qin Anning, whose expression remained unchanged, and couldn't help but want to complain about her again.
"I really don't know how you've managed these past few years. Love is truly amazing; you can endure eating in this kind of environment every day."
Upon hearing this, Qin Anning and Bai Lin were both stunned and subconsciously looked up at her.
Qin Anning said irritably, "Could you bring up something so unpleasant at a time like this?"
Qin Man smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Qin Anning glared at her. She hadn't thought about that man for the past two days, but Qin Man brought it up again. It was like she was deliberately rubbing salt in the wound!
Bai Lin looked through the list, but he really didn't know what to order, so he left it to them to order.
Qin Man said, "Why would you do this for us? You're the expert at barbecue, you order for us."
Qin Anning nodded in agreement and handed the menu back to Bai Lin, saying, "You order."
Bai Lin was somewhat helpless. He felt nauseous at the sight of barbecue. If he hadn't been desperate for a place to eat, he would never have come to a barbecue restaurant.
There was nothing he could do but take the menu over, and then said, "There's no barbecue on this menu, you'll have to get it from the freezer over there."
Qin Man laughed and said, "I heard you started selling barbecue when you were five years old. You are really experienced. At the age of thirty, you have twenty-five years of work experience."
Many people had joked about this to him, but Bai Lin just laughed it off and didn't care.
He never embellished his life experiences, nor did he shy away from the past.
Qin Anning said, "Unlike you, who only knows how to loaf around and wait to die, at least my cousin is now worth hundreds of billions."
