“It’s already past ten o’clock. You’ve slept for three hours. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you.”
"But we've slept for too long, baby. Where are we now? My tummy is getting hungry and it's acting up."
"I bought you breakfast, it's in the insulated box, take it."
"Really! Baby, are you buying me breakfast? You're so good to me."
"Eat quickly, it should still be hot."
"Yes, they're still warm, they're xiaolongbao!"
I know you like xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
"Hey, where are we? How much longer until we get there?"
"We've only been on the highway for two hours, and it'll probably be another four or five hours before we get off. There's a service area up ahead, do you need to use the restroom?"
"Okay, let's stop at the service area ahead. You can take a break after driving for so long, you must be tired."
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
"That won't do either. Sitting for too long is bad for your health. Come with me and get out of the car to stretch your legs in a bit."
"good."
Liu Qingmeng started dealing with the few steamed buns while drinking soy milk.
"I'm full, baby."
"Weren't you hungry? How come you can't finish a whole basket of xiaolongbao?"
"Baby, am I a pig? A whole basket of xiaolongbao, I can't possibly finish them all."
"I'll feed you, you have a mouth."
"I'm driving, let's eat later."
"Hurry up, I've already picked it up, you have a mouth."
Wang Xinghe had a long beak, and Liu Qingmeng put it into Wang Xinghe's mouth.
"Oh dear, baby, you're licking my finger."
"Sorry, I didn't see it."
"It's okay, I forgive you!"
When they arrived at the service area, Wang Xinghe and Liu Qingmeng got out of the car. Because the car was heated, Liu Qingmeng, who was wearing a sweater, shivered as soon as she got out of the car.
"It's so cold."
"Mengmeng, why aren't you wearing a down jacket?"
Wang Xinghe quickly took Liu Qingmeng's down jacket from the car and put it on her.
"Hehe, I forgot, baby, I thought it was warm inside the car and not cold outside either."
"I think you've fallen asleep and become mentally impaired. The car's heater is on."
"I'm not stupid. I'm going to the bathroom. Baby, do you want to come?"
"Let's go, I'll come with you, so you won't have trouble finding a toilet."
"Who do you think you are? How could I not find a toilet?" Liu Qingmeng took Wang Xinghe's arm and then forcefully pulled at his waist.
"It doesn't hurt, I'm wearing thick clothes."
"You! Wang Xinghe!" Liu Qingmeng directly lifted Wang Xinghe's clothes and reached inside.
"Ouch! Mengmeng, what are you doing? Your hands are so cold."
"Didn't you say it didn't hurt? Look how much it hurts now, are you wrong?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, let me warm you up." Wang Xinghe quickly grabbed Liu Qingmeng's hand and wrapped it around his own.
The parking lot at the service area was not far from the restroom. After Wang Xinghe took Liu Qingmeng to the restroom, he told her that he could pick her up after she finished using the restroom.
"Alright, your mission is complete. Go back now, Xiaohezi."
"What?! That sounds awful, like someone shouting..."
"Hey hey, what are you yelling about?"
"You know I'm leaving."
Wang Xinghe had just seen some snacks in the supermarket and decided to buy some for Liu Qingmeng, since she was already awake and the journey had been quite boring.
"Hey bro, look at that girl, she's gorgeous! Such a gorgeous girl! When has Lucheng ever had a girl this gorgeous?"
"You idiot! This is a service area. Is it possible that she's not a girl from Lucheng?" Wang Haoyang took off his sunglasses and watched Liu Qingmeng walk past him.
"Yeah, bro, if you fancy her, I'll go tie her up to your car."
"What are you tying me up for! People these days have manners. With my reputation in Lucheng, what kind of girl can't I get?"
"So, what do you mean, brother?"
"Watch me."
Liu Qingmeng tightened her coat; it was too cold. She absolutely wouldn't get off the bus before reaching Ningjiang; it was just too cold.
"Hello, beautiful."
Suddenly, a man in sunglasses jumped out in front of Liu Qingmeng and struck a cool pose.
"What's up?"
"Beautiful lady, you're so cold! You're even colder than the weather outside. Meeting a beautiful woman like you on such a freezing day is truly a beautiful but freezing experience!"
"Do you need something? If not, please move aside." Liu Qingmeng's face turned extremely cold.
"Beautiful lady, I see you're alone. Would you be interested in getting to know this handsome guy? My name is Wang Haoyang, 23 years old, male, single, and I'm somewhat well-known in Lucheng..."
"Not interested." Liu Qingmeng simply walked away from him.
“Hey, some people could rely on their looks, but they insist on relying on their abilities. See this? What’s this?” Wang Haoyang took out a car key and placed it in front of Liu Qingmeng.
"I have a boyfriend, he's waiting for me up ahead, please move aside, or don't blame me for being rude."
"You have a boyfriend? Beautiful lady, what makes you think you have a boyfriend?"
"No, why can't I have a boyfriend?"
"Because I am the most eligible bachelor in this area of Lucheng, how could you be with another man? Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?"
"Get lost!" Liu Qingmeng was furious. The way this guy spoke and his exaggerated movements made her feel so disgusted she wanted to vomit.
"Fine, I, Wang Haoyang, am not an unreasonable person. I have a 200-square-meter apartment in Lucheng, worth over a million yuan, and this car, worth 500,000 yuan, all paid in full. As long as your boyfriend is better than me, I'll give up and let you go."
"Okay, come with me."
Wang Haoyang waved his hand, and his followers immediately ran over.
What do you want to do?
"Don't misunderstand, beautiful lady, these are all my friends who came with me to witness this."
"Okay, let's go."
Liu Qingmeng wasn't afraid of them. They were all ugly and deformed, but she had prepared some good things in the car. If they dared to make a move, Liu Qingmeng wouldn't mind making them regret it.
Seeing that Liu Qingmeng hadn't returned after so long, Wang Xinghe decided to go find her.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Liu Qingmeng return, but she was accompanied by several people dressed in brightly colored clothes.
"Baby, I'm back. I was so scared. He wanted me to be his girlfriend, and they all looked so fierce." Liu Qingmeng said, clinging to Wang Xinghe like a little bird, all her previous aloofness and domineering aura gone.
When Wang Haoyang and the others saw Liu Qingmeng like this, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Was her "do not disturb strangers" attitude just an act?
What do you want to do?
"Brother, don't let our appearance fool you, we're all good people. Beautiful ladies are sought after by gentlemen, after all."
"Brother, it seems to be called 'A graceful lady, a gentleman's ideal.'"
"No, no, I remember it was 'a graceful lady'."
