Xiao Xin was stunned for a second when she saw Mo Xuan.
Then he closed his umbrella and climbed into the back seat of the car without hesitation.
Mo Xuan noticed that there were some water droplets on his hair and face, so he handed him a tissue.
Xiao Xin put the umbrella in the storage bag on the back of the chair, took the tissue from Mo Xuan in the front row, and said thank you.
He dried his wet hair and casually asked, "What are you doing here?"
Mo Xuan, with one hand on the steering wheel, replied, "Just passing by."
Xiao Xin remained skeptical of his statement. This place wasn't close to Mo Xuan's company, so saying he was just passing by seemed far-fetched.
Mo Xuan either followed him or investigated him.
The two sat quietly for a while.
The chill emanating from Xiao Xin was dispelled by the warm air inside the car, and his whole body was enveloped in warmth. His head, which had been numb from the cold air, gradually regained some of its senses.
It's rush hour now, and there's some traffic on the road.
While waiting at a traffic light, Xiao Xin looked out the car window and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"I'll take you home," Mo Xuan said.
Xiao Xin's heart skipped a beat. She looked at him in the rearview mirror and asked, "Do you know where I live?"
Mo Xuan glanced at the rearview mirror and met his gaze. "Isn't that written on your personal profile?"
Xiao Xin suppressed her surprise and leaned back in her chair, looking out the window again.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mo Xuan turned his gaze back to the road ahead. "What, are you worried that I'll investigate you?"
Xiao Xin remained silent, his expression indifferent.
He just broke up with his girlfriend and feels down right now, not wanting to talk.
Even if it was a one-sided breakup on his part.
Seeing his sullen face, Mo Xuan put away his carefree smile and said seriously, "When I was investigating Fu Yan, I did investigate you as well, but I didn't intend to do anything out of line to you."
Xiao Xin gave a soft "hmm," without much emotional reaction.
As Mo Xuan drove, he observed Xiao Xin's reaction in the rearview mirror. "I investigated you, and this is the reaction you give me?"
Xiao Xin didn't say anything.
Mo Xuan shook his head, licked the corner of his lips, and the lip stud on his tongue gleamed in the darkness.
After a long pause, he joked, "You look like you've just broken up with Fu Yan?"
Xiao Xin's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing Fu Yan's name, and she hummed in response.
Mo Xuan thought he wouldn't admit it, and smiled: "No wonder you look so lost and disoriented."
The car was silent for two seconds. Mo Xuan smiled and comforted him, "So what if you're heartbroken? What's there to be afraid of? You still have me, right? My arms are always open for you."
Xiao Xin: "Get lost."
"ruthless."
Mo Xuan shook his head helplessly, not wanting to make a fool of himself, and focused on driving.
Forty minutes later, Mo Xuan finally drove the car to his destination.
He glanced through the car window at the dimly lit alleyway where a light rain was falling, and clicked his tongue: "You live here?"
This was his first time visiting this place, and he never expected that there would be such a dilapidated neighborhood in City A.
Xiao Xin took the umbrella, said "thank you," and got off the bus.
Mo Xuan hesitated, watching his retreating figure disappear into the dimly lit alley.
Just as he was about to start the car, he saw Xiao Xin running towards him in a panic from the rain.
Xiao Xin threw down the umbrella, opened the passenger door, and got in.
"Drive, quick." Xiao Xin gasped for breath, his hair completely soaked by the heavy rain.
Mo Xuan was about to say something when he saw several men in black approaching from the alley entrance.
The men in black were tall and burly, each carrying a weapon, and they shouted, "Xiao Xin, don't run!"
Before Mo Xuan could even think, he floored the gas pedal and blasted the car a long way off.
Xiao Xin looked back at the car and saw the group of people waving iron bars and chasing after it.
Mo Xuan drove at a deadly speed in the heavy rain, finally merging into traffic and leaving the group far behind.
Xiao Xin could no longer see the group of people, so he turned his neck back to his seat and took a few deep breaths against the back of the chair.
Seeing his slightly flushed face, as if he had just escaped a disaster, Mo Xuan smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen nervousness on your face. Who were those people who were chasing you just now?"
Xiao Xin leaned back in his chair, resting his head on the back, and said in a hoarse voice, "Debt collectors."
"You're in debt?" Mo Xuan asked.
Xiao Xin was amused by him, "Damn, didn't you investigate me?"
Mo Xuan: "I only investigated your basic information, which is similar to your personal profile. I really don't know anything else."
He added, "But I know the person who had a rumored affair with Fu Qingting; it's your father."
Xiao Xin shut his mouth, his throat felt dry, and he couldn't help but swallow.
Mo Xuan glanced over and saw him tilting his head back, water droplets hanging on his fair neck, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, looking strangely sexy.
He couldn't help but swallow as well.
The car suddenly fell silent, an eerie and awkward silence.
Mo Xuan spoke up to ease the tension: "Where do we go next?"
Xiao Xin: "Either is fine, but I might need to borrow your ID card to get to the hotel."
His ID card is at home, so going back to get it is definitely not realistic.
Mo Xuan thought for two seconds, then said, "Let's go to my house."
Xiao Xin paused for a moment, then asked him, "Is it convenient?"
“It’s convenient, I live alone,” Mo Xuan said.
Xiao Xin glanced at the heavy rain outside the window and said, "Okay."
The rainstorm in City A came suddenly and violently, seemingly threatening to submerge the entire city.
Mo Xuan's family lives in a high-end residential area, on the 28th floor, in a two-story duplex apartment.
Xiao Xin followed Mo Xuan to the front door, changed into slippers, and went inside.
Mo Xuan went to the wardrobe and took a bathrobe for him: "Go take a shower first, you're all wet."
Xiao Xin took it and said, "Thank you."
Mo Xuan's ears hurt from listening, so he pretended to be angry and picked at his ears. "You've thanked me several times today. If you say thank you again, I'll get angry."
Xiao Xin lowered her head and smiled faintly, then took her bathrobe and turned to walk into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, he came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, his body radiating a damp, humid atmosphere.
As Mo Xuan sat on the living room sofa, he looked up and saw the man's face, flushed red from the heat, and his heart began to pound.
Xiao Xin's skin was already good, but after taking a shower, it became even more fair and rosy, as if she were glowing.
With her red lips and white teeth, she's so alluring.
Mo Xuan stared wide-eyed, wondering why Fu Yan was eating so well.
No wonder Fu Yan is so attached to Xiao Xin, as if he's afraid she'll be snatched away by someone else.
Xiao Xin dried her hair with a towel and sat down naturally on the sofa in the living room. She glanced at Mo Xuan and saw his staring eyes.
He glanced at Mo Xuan, continued drying his hair, and reminded him, "Mr. Mo, your gaze right now looks a bit like a pervert's."
Mo Xuan spat out a mouthful of water, pointed at himself, and said, "Have you ever seen such a handsome pervert as me?"
After drying his hair, Xiao Xin poured himself a glass of water. "Hmm, still a narcissistic pervert."
Mo Xuan suddenly snatched the water glass from his hand and pushed Xiao Xin's shoulder, forcing him onto the sofa.
Xiao Xin swallowed the water in her mouth and looked expressionlessly at Mo Xuan, who was lying above her: "What are you going to do?"
Mo Xuan chuckled, licked his upper lip, and looked at Xiao Xin, saying, "Don't you know that perverts get even more excited when they're called perverts?"
