Chapter 287: Return
Pouring rain, a silent night, and an empty bus station.
A young woman tiredly leaned back on the cold seat, devoid of any strength, as though she had fallen fast asleep.
Most of the people walking along the street merely cast her a look of alienation and indifference before continuing on their way under the heavy downpour.
Only a young man, who was on the platform, patiently waiting for the bus, took notice of her. He observed her for a long while. The woman's head was leaning against the lit box on one side, and the bright light illuminated her beautiful facial features, making the man's heart thump fast.
After deliberately missing two buses in a row, he finally couldn't help but step forward, intending to remind the girl that the last bus was about to pass.
"Boom-"
A flash of fierce lightning in the sky tore through the clouds, startling the young man. When he turned around and looked at the girl, who he thought would be asleep again, he found that she was already awake and holding her head, standing up slowly, appearing as though she felt unwell.
"Miss, a... are you alright?"
He quickly stepped forward, reaching out a hand to help, but she immediately turned to the side, avoiding him.
The young man was stunned by her dexterity, and at the next second, he looked straight into the girl's eyes, pausing, not daring to close the distance between them.
The girl's height merely reached his shoulder when she stood straight, but the aura emanated through her eyes reminded him of the high-ranking boss he had just met earlier in the company, dominant and overpowering, just like a naturally superior being.
"Oh... Thank you, I'm fine."
However, in the blink of an eye, the dominating aura she emitted throughout her body suddenly disappeared. The girl's shy 'thank you' made the youth think that he was just imagining the intimidating energy, that the person in front of him was just an ordinary white-collar worker, and like him, she struggled to work overtime in this bustling city until now.
Heavy rain outside was still falling down on the city as the two people stood on the quiet platform. The young man once again quietly glanced at the girl's beautiful side profile. She seemed to be staring into the night in a daze, her thick eyelashes faltering. The mole at the end of her eye seemed to be either black or red, highlighting the unique beauty of her face.
"Do..."
He wanted to ask, 'Do you work here too? Can I have your name?'
However, the moment he uttered a word out, his trousers were abruptly splashed with muddy water from a black car passing by.
"Don't you know how to look at the road when driving!?"
The young man couldn't help but curse out loud. He looked at the car's logo, his dissatisfaction growing heavier by the second. You think you're so great for being rich?
All of a sudden, a hand stretched out in front of him, kindly handing him a pack of napkins.
The young man took it with much gratitude and glanced at the girl's wet hair. He then took a piece of napkin out and handed it back to her. "You..." You should also wipe yourself.
However, before he could even utter these words again, he was splashed with street water for the second time.
The car that had swept past them just now slowly drove back in reverse. At this moment, the door of the back seat opened slowly, and on the seat was a man who was completely different from him, wearing an exquisite black suit and hand-made Italian leather shoes.
"Wh-what do you want!?"
The boy thought that the owner of the car had heard his curses just now and came back to cause trouble for him, so he immediately stood in front of the girl.
The man in the car slowly revealed half of his face, and his sharp handsome face was faintly discernible under the flickering street lights.
"Get in."
He said without sparing the boy a glance.
These words weren't directed at him. The boy thought for no reason.
He then turned around and looked at the girl behind him.
The girl slightly tilted her head and stared at the person in the car for a while, as if she didn't know him at all. Just as the young man was about to rejoice, her expression gradually morphed as she stared at the person in the car as though she had just seen a person she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Get in."
The man in the car spoke up again, his voice low but carried an indisputable tone.
