After leaving the bar, Song Youman hailed a taxi on the roadside, booked a hotel on her phone, and asked the driver to take her there.
Once checked in and back in the room, Song Youman took a bath. Whether it was the steam from the hot water that fully unleashed the effects of the alcohol, or she had drunk too much earlier, she was truly a bit tipsy. Her head was spinning, yet her thoughts beca even clearer.
All the events from when her car broke down, she sought help on social dia; when a college classmate connected her with a repair shop, and "Xige" appeared in front of her; to everything that happened tonight... They all passed by her like scenes from a high-definition movie... until finally, they freeze-frad on the mont Yin Ge delicately kissed her and she subconsciously looked toward "Xige", catching his ’enjoying the show’ gaze...
Song Youman’s heart felt as if it had been savagely torn by so fierce beast, radiating a sharp pain.
He wasn’t Han Zhijin... Although Han Zhijin was unreliable and appeared flippant, he had taken her and An’an out and never let others bully them. Not to ntion acting like Yin Ge, who was handsy, even taking verbal liberties was never his style.
He wasn’t Han Zhijin... Even if Han Zhijin didn’t want to take responsibility for that night back then and refused to acknowledge Little Muxi in her womb, when she faced danger, he still risked his life to donate blood to her.
Han Zhijin wasn’t like him... He wasn’t the Han Zhijin she was looking for, he just looked too much like Han Zhijin...
Having never seen hope before made the waiting seem bearable for Song Youman, but the appearance of "Xige" filled her with expectations. Now that those had been dashed, she found the disappointnt almost unbearable...
Song Youman couldn’t recall how she fell asleep last night, but the next day when she woke up, her eyes were terribly swollen and red.
She didn’t drink herself into a stupor, so she rembered everything. As she brushed her teeth, the images of her sobbing into a pillow, with tears and snot running down her face from last night, flashed through her mind.
Her personality was different from An’an’s. An’an was inherently a girly girl, and being the only daughter of the Song Family, she didn’t have a doting brother like Saoge to spoil her. Thus, the Song Family had to train her as a successor from a young age—capable of standing on her own, achieving anything, a woman no less competent than n... so much so that many tis, she believed she was indomitable. Even when Han Zhijin had disappeared three years ago, despite the deep pain in her heart, she still appeared vibrant and authoritative to the outside world as Song Youman...
Just like today, no matter how foolishly she cried alone deep into the night, as soon as she woke up, she had to put on her most spirited makeup, presenting her best self to the world.
To cover up her swollen eyes, Song Youman deliberately applied peach-colored eyeshadow, making her look like a girl just over twenty.
She went downstairs, completed the check-out process, bought a cup of coffee and a sandwich from the Starbucks next to the hotel, then got into a taxi and headed to the repair shop.
"Miss Song..."
Having lingered here for a day, she was well acquainted with many people, who greeted her warmly upon seeing her.
Song Youman responded with polite smiles all the way to the front desk, then pulled out her wallet and dropped a card: "Please settle the bill for the car repairs, thank you."
After completing the paynt, Song Youman took out several cash notes from her wallet and left them on the front desk, pinned down by a stapler: "Also, this money, please pass it on to Dong Yi, consider it a little compensation for the trip to Qingdao."
Before the receptionist could reply, Song Youman pulled out her car keys, pressed the button, and saw a car in the far distance flash its lights, then made her way determinedly over to it.
As she passed by the entrance of the repair shop, a man with a thick gold chain was walking out and asking, "Where’s your boss Mu? Is he in the shop?"
"Brother Li, if you’re looking for Xige, you need to call him. He hardly ever cos to the shop. He just visited a few days ago..." replied an enthusiastic staff mber accompanying the man out.
Song Youman didn’t pay much attention and continued forward, but after a few steps, she stopped.
Boss Mu... Xige... Muxi... The big, big boss of this repair shop is nad Muxi?
And it sounds the sa as Little Muxi?
Song Youman thought it over, then turned her head to look back at the two people walking out of the door.
Thick gold chain: "Mu Boss gave a business card last ti, but I lost it. Do you have another one? Give one..."
"Sure, sure, Brother Li, please wait a mont..." The staff mber quickly ran over to the front desk and brought back a business card: "Xige’s phone number is on it, as well as his WeChat. You can contact him..."
"Alright, thank you." The thick gold chain man took the business card, and with the staff mber’s attentive farewell, he left the shop.
Song Youman got into her car, stepped on the gas, and followed right behind, driving out of the shop. When she reached the road, she saw the man with the thick gold chain talking on the phone. Seemingly on impulse, she hit the brakes and stopped right in front of him.
It wasn’t long before the thick gold chain man ended the call, seeing Song Youman watching him through the car window; he couldn’t help but look back at her: "Lady, can I help you?"
Song Youman: "Yes... can I have a look at the business card in your hand?"
The thick gold chain man scoffed curiously: "They have plenty of those cards in their shop. Why do you need to see mine?"
However, despite his words, the thick gold chain man still handed the business card to Song Youman.
Song Youman thanked him and took it over, then the two largest characters on the card leaped into her sight: Muxi.
Muxi.
The sa Muxi as Little Muxi.
The Muxi from the phrase "There is a tree in the mountains; the tree has branches. I adore you; you do not know."
