The air conditioning and heating were turned on in the car, and Zhang Moyan felt it as soon as she got in.
Xiao Xingyu walked to the front of the car against the wind, folded his umbrella, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. He closed the door with a "bang" and put the long umbrella in the passenger seat.
"The weather seems to be changing so fast. It wasn't like this just now," he complained as he fastened his seatbelt. He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Zhang Moyan busying herself with her head down. "What are you doing?"
Zhang Moyan raised her head and smoothed the hair beside her ear: "I'm sorry for getting your car wet, let me wipe it off."
Only then did Xiao Xingyu see clearly that she was wiping the seat cushion with a tissue.
"It's wet, it's no big deal, no need to be so shy... Alright, stop it!"
Zhang Moyan took out another piece of tissue from the tissue bag: "It's almost done."
Xiao Xingyu seemed to be talking to a mentally retarded person: "Your body is all wet, what's the point of wiping it?" After saying this, he felt like a nagging woman who wanted to meddle in everything.
Zhang Moyan lifted his trouser legs and moved away from the seat: "I will pay attention."
Zhang Moyan's obedience only made Xiao Xingyu feel even more like a nagging woman. He bit his lip in self-doubt and stepped on the accelerator: "Let's go!"
Zhang Moyan said: "Teacher Xiao, my home is..."
"Yunshan Home."
"Oh yeah...you've been there."
The black Mercedes-Benz broke through the rain curtain and moved forward steadily in the sudden rain and strong wind. The light from the headlights penetrated the wet road surface in the rainy night, which was more dazzling and brighter than usual.
I don’t know if it was because the cooperation talks broke down or because of the embarrassment of walking down 17 floors of stairs, but the two of them didn’t say a word along the way. Twenty-five minutes later, the car approached Yunshan Home.
Zhang Moyan picked up her bag and leaned over to point in the direction of the windshield with its wipers running. "Teacher Xiao, just drop me off in front of that supermarket. There's a side door over there that I can go in."
Xiao Xingyu seemed not to hear it.
Zhang Moyan felt that this man's temper was really hard to grasp. Sometimes he was fierce, sometimes nice, sometimes normal, and now she didn't know what was wrong.
As they were getting closer to the supermarket, Zhang Moyan was about to remind him again when Xiao Xingyu said, "I'll take you there."
"No, no," Zhang Moyan explained to him, "There are a lot of cars parked in our neighborhood at night, so it's especially difficult to drive in now."
Xiao Xingyu glanced at her. Zhang Moyan paused for a moment and added carefully, "Your car is a bit big..."
Xiao Xingyu chuckled lightly, without stopping his hands and feet: "Are you still dissatisfied with this?"
In a blink of an eye, the car approached the entrance of Yunshan Home. A security guard in the guard room made exaggerated gestures through the glass window. Even a fool could see that he was telling the car not to go in, but Xiao Xingyu was like a national treasure, unmoved by anything. In the end, the security guard had no choice but to run out cursing in the wind with an umbrella.
Xiao Xingyu lowered the car window a little, and the cold wind and rain rushed into the car.
"Foreign vehicles are not allowed to stay here overnight!" the security guard shouted loudly.
Xiao Xingyu pointed to the back: "Don't stay overnight, send someone!"
The security guard glanced into the car and asked, "Which household?"
Xiao Xingyu: "Room 27, Room 301."
Zhang Moyan: "Room 27, Room 301."
The two people said almost in unison.
The security guard was stunned for a moment, seemingly unconvinced that the car wasn't staying there overnight. He shouted, "Your car is too big to maneuver inside. Just park it here!"
Zhang Moyan looked back at Xiao Xingyu and muttered softly, "I think so."
Xiao Xingyu glared at her and raised his voice to the security guard, "Sure! Could you please help me send her to Building 27? It's so windy and rainy right now!"
The security guard was stunned for a moment, then clutched his green military coat tightly. "If you're not afraid of trouble, go in! Come out quickly!"
As he said this, he pressed the gate remote control in his hand and ran back to the guard room.
The car turned a few corners in the community, and Xiao Xingyu drove to the downstairs of Zhang Moyan's building. He pulled the handbrake, took the umbrella from the passenger seat and prepared to get out of the car.
Zhang Moyan stopped him: "Teacher Xiao, you don't have to get off the car. It's only two meters away. I can run for it."
Xiao Xingyu paused and handed her the umbrella: "Take the umbrella!"
"No need," Zhang Moyan pushed the umbrella handle. "If you borrow it, you have to return it... Besides, there's no need for me to create opportunities to meet you again, right?"
Xiao Xingyu uttered an unbearable "tsk" sound: "What are you talking about? I guess I made an enemy by not agreeing to do an interview with you guys."
Zhang Moyan: "That's not what I meant."
Xiao Xingyu: "Oh, what do you mean?"
Zhang Moyan gave up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at speaking."
Xiao Xingyu: "Okay, I don't want you to return the umbrella."
Zhang Moyan: "Really, thank you."
Xiao Xingyu narrowed his eyes like a fox: "Are you really unhappy that I didn't agree to the interview with you?"
Zhang Moyan was stunned. Why did he think so? Could it be that there was something wrong with his expression again?
"No, I really want to thank you! You brought me back and just walked me down so many floors. Also, I want to thank you for helping me get the cake last time."
Well, thank you, just thank you. Why are you stuck, your face getting hot, and your head lowering uncontrollably? This is not a confession, why do you have the same effect?
I'm still not used to saying thank you to people.
Xiao Xingyu rubbed the steering wheel with one hand, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face: "So, yes."
Why does this person always speak in a sloppy way?
Zhang Moyan forced a smile: "Teacher Xiao, I'm leaving now."
Xiao Xingyu nodded: "Well, be careful."
Zhang Moyan picked up her bag and reached out to push the door. The moment her fingertips touched the door handle, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and met a pair of sparkling, gentle and calm eyes, as if they were not hiding anything but seemed to be restraining something.
