Jian Ai took off the rubber band on her hair and smiled. “Take the room card then. You don’t have to knock later.”
“Alright,” Wang Zimeng answered. She closed her luggage and turned around to leave the room.
The room fell silent. Jian Ai pulled the curtains up, and the room became dark. Without the interference of sunlight and ultraviolet light, she went to bed.
…
Baiyun City, Zhonglou District, Ningxia Street.
A white BMW MPV was parked at the entrance of the neighborhood.
The driver was smoking outside the car. In the backseat was Gao Yang, who was dressed casually.
The car window rolled down slightly, revealing his head. From time to time, he would look at the door of the neighborhood beside him and then look down at the time on his watch.
Not long after, Guan Tao ran out of the neighborhood with a backpack. Gao Yang immediately noticed her, quickly pushed the car door open and got out.
Gao Yang waved at Guan Tao. She couldn’t help but move faster. She ran to Gao Yang’s side and said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry. I was looking for something for a long time.”
Gao Yang shook his head gently. “It’s fine. There’s still time. Get in.”
As he spoke, Gao Yang took Guan Tao’s school bag from her shoulder and placed it in the trunk of the car.
At this moment, the driver looked over and asked Gao Yang respectfully, “Young Master, are we setting off?”
Gao Yang nodded and looked at Guan Tao. “This is Uncle Yu.”
“Hello, Uncle,” Guan Tao quickly greeted him politely.
The driver smiled and replied with a hello. Then, just as he was about to throw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stamp it out, he suddenly reacted that his young master was beside him. In the next second, he walked over and extinguished the cigarette butt on a tree trunk beside him. In the end, he threw it into a trash can.
After Guan Tao and Gao Yang sat down in the backseat of the car, she turned her head and asked softly, “Didn’t you say we’ll take the train?”
Gao Yang curled his lips slightly and revealed a faint smile that one would not notice if they did not look carefully. He said softly, “Uncle Yu will send us to the train station.”
When Guan Tao heard this, she nodded in understanding. However, when she thought about going to Yaner Island alone with Gao Yang, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
After Uncle Yu got into the car, he instinctively looked through the rearview mirror at the young master and the female classmate in the backseat. He couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
Young Master said he wanted to go to Yaner Island with a classmate. Was there only one classmate? And it was a girl?
However, although he was puzzled, Uncle Yu didn’t dare to say or ask. His duty was just to drive.
Baiyun City Train Station was located in the center of Haicheng District. It took about half an hour to drive from Guan Tao’s house in Zhonglou District. However, traffic was dense during the holidays, and there was a slight traffic jam. Fortunately, they had already bought the tickets in advance.
The train station was more than twice as crowded than usual. This was also the norm at Baiyun City Train Station during the holidays.
This was Guan Tao’s first time going on a long trip or even taking a train. It was even her first time entering the train station.
She followed Gao Yang closely, afraid that the crowd would scatter her and Gao Yang.
Suddenly, her hand felt warm. Gao Yang suddenly reached out and held Guan Tao’s hand tightly.
Before Guan Tao could react and blush, Gao Yang turned around and looked at her. “Don’t get lost.”
