Genres:Urban Romance Last update:25/03/24 17:41:17
       406 Ward Entrance.

    Zhou Jing had already stood here twice to hang up the taxi booking's call urging her to hurry.

    It's not that Zhou Qi doesn't want to push open the door and enter.

    Rather, Zhou Qi really doesn't know how to start a conversation with Min Yue.

    After all, she has never spoken to Min Yue when she is in a lucid state.

    Who knows what the character of this little miss is like.

    Moreover, the fact that Min Yue is an ethnic group, which also makes Zhou Qi a bit hesitant.

    Monster, a monster that eats human flesh and drinks human blood in Journey to the West!

    Much scarier than the underworld!

    Zhou Qi was still hesitating when, with a creak, the door suddenly opened.

    "Twice already!"

    The sudden sound startled Zhou Qi.

    Zhou Qi raised his head and saw exactly Min Yue's reddened eyes right in front of him.

    Different from the innocent child she saw during the day.

    At night, Min Yue's presence exudes a regal aura that is even more dignified than during the day in the White Land.

    Although her short hair looked neat and tidy, it gave people a sense of majestic and authoritative impression.

    "What twice?"

    Zhou Qi asked instinctively.

    "You've stood at my door twice already, yesterday was like this, and today is the same. Is there something you need to tell me?"

    Wearing a blue and white hospital gown, Min Yue made room for Zhou Qi to enter the 406th ward.

    Standing at the door and glancing at the familiar furnishings inside, Zhou Qi involuntarily rubbed his eyes.

    White mist?

    Different from the white mist everywhere in Room 401.

    Inside the 406th ward, the environment was exactly the same as during the day, as if it had never been affected by the white mist.

    "Say, what do you want to see me for?"

    Min Yue didn't pay attention to Zhou Qi, who was daydreaming, and turned around to lie back in her hospital bed leisurely.

    "Erm, I'd like to borrow something from you."

    Min Yue's leisurely posture inspired Zhou Qi, who took a deep breath and walked over to Min Yue's bed, pouring out all the things in one go.

    Zhou Qi felt a greater sense of security in front of Min Yue than before White Lu.

    It felt as though Min Yue was her family!

    "So, you stole my underwear?"

    Zhou Qi had talked about a lot of things, but Min Yue only focused on the problem of the underwear.

    "Huh?"

    Zhou Qi's face turned bright red immediately.

    Apparently, there was indeed an item of Min Yue's undergarment in Zhou Qi's rented room.

    This...

    Before Zhou Qi could even think of an explanation, Min Yue suddenly reached into her hospital gown.

    In the next second, a lace bra attached to Min Yue's body temperature was casually handed over to Zhou Qi in front of her.

    Zhou Qi could even smell the scent coming from the bra.

    "This... this... this..."

    The fragrance on her nose made Zhou Qi's face even redder.

    Min Yue is so generous!

    "Huh? What's wrong? Is it wrong?"

    Seeing Zhou Qi standing there motionless, Min Yue tilted her head and looked curious.

    After a moment, Zhou Qi walked out of Room 406, her face still flushed.

    Her mind was filled with the delicate, pretty face of Min Yue, as well as the cozy bra she was holding in her arms, still retaining Min Yue's temperature.

    Dizzy Zhou Qi was so preoccupied with Min Yue's pretty face and the cozy bra in her arms that she barely noticed the ghostly figures flitting by. In a blur, she exited the mental hospital and climbed into a taxi that had been waiting for who knows how long.

    "Indeed, in the presence of a beautiful girl, what is a prince? Not even a dog would care!"

    Stretching her hand inside the bra, Zhou Qi looked blissful.

    So happy that she didn't even notice.

    The phone in her arms, which had its silent mode on, was displaying a new notification.

    【User has exceeded the reserved waiting time, the platform has automatically cancelled the taxi order. If necessary, please place a new order.】

    Half an hour later, the taxi was driving along the national highway.

    Only then did Zhou Qi suddenly realize something.

    Zhou Qi realized with a start that she had mistakenly ordered a express taxi going to the train station instead of a direct car back home, which was actually a black car!

    What does the driver intend to do!

    Just as Zhou Qi suddenly woke up, a faint voice echoed inside the car.

    "Three years ago, I walked into a happy marriage with my wife. I was the provider, and she was the homemaker, everything was so perfect and fulfilling."

    As the driver suddenly spoke up, the car's sound system also appropriately played a song about happiness.

    "You're crazy, who cares when you got married, if you don't let me off now, I'll call the police!"

    Zhou Qi was not particularly panicked at this moment.

    Compared to her own safety, she was more concerned about whether she could still catch the train she had booked.

    After all, she was a woman who had seen celestial soldiers and their combat techniques!

    Compared to any celestial or earthly forces, a mere black car driver was nothing!

    But the driver didn't pay any attention to Zhou Qi's thoughts and continued to narrate as if nothing had happened.

    "Two years ago, my wife got pregnant. To provide a better living standard for our child, I started working even harder, often pulling all-nighters to get overtime pay."

    At this moment, the music in the car turned into an upbeat song, as if praising the driver's efforts.

    Zhou Qi, sitting in the backseat, couldn't care less about what the driver was rambling on about. She immediately took out her phone.

    "Dammit, you scoundrels, why do you have to jam the signal inside this car?"

    To her surprise, Zhou Qi's phone had no signal at all. This made her suddenly feel very agitated.

    It's not that she's anxious about being unable to call the police, but Zhou Qi is afraid that her grandmother might call again.

    The calls from the elderly are very important.

    If the call is not connected, the elderly will inevitably worry and think incessantly, especially when they are already in a situation of unexpected accident.

    Zhou Qi doesn't want her grandmother to worry about her. She is grown up now, she is able to protect her grandmother instead!

    "One year ago, my child was born. I enrolled my wife in the best maternity center and even had her mother come over to take care of her."

    "In order to pay for the expenses of the maternity center, I had to work even harder. I even had several times where I had to drink my way into the hospital for business negotiations."

    "But right in that damned hospital, I saw my wife who should have been staying in the maternity center. And beside her was another man, another man who was worse looking than me, whose job was far less satisfying than mine. A damn taxi driver!"

    The driver's last words were shouted out in anger.

    The music in the car also became extremely eerie and ominous, like a death warrant.

    "Why did you marry me if you didn't like me? Why did you want to give birth to my child if you didn't want to? Why did you deceive me and why did you cheat on me with another man?"

    "why!"

    The vehicle suddenly stopped, and the driver's head suddenly turned 180 degrees, his neck extending several times, and he suddenly faced Zhou Qi directly.

    A face of extreme anger stared back at Zhou Qi from the front seat, with bloodshot eyes protruding, staring fixedly at Zhou Qi in the backseat, as if he would devour her alive in the next second!
