The MPV passed the toll booth and drove toward the highway.
There were four people in the car, two of them were silent, and the remaining two were unfamiliar. It could be said that it was silent.
Ruan Zhi, who was one of the most reserved people, sat in the backseat. For some reason, she seemed to be sitting upright.
Ruan Zhi's gaze wandered around for a while before finally shifting to the window. After a long time, she felt thirsty and subconsciously looked down at her bag to find water. She only realized that she had forgotten to buy water after rummaging through it.
Ruan Zhi sighed in defeat. She pursed her lips and endured her thirst as she continued to look out the window.
About half an hour later, a service station sign appeared in front of them. Ruan Zhixin was overjoyed. She was hesitating whether she should ask Qi Zhan to go to the service station, but she realized that the car had slowed down and was actually driving straight to the service station.
Zhou Jinwen, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, looked at Qi Zhan, who was driving, in confusion."Ah Zhan, we've only been on the highway for less than an hour. Why are we entering the service station?”
"I'm going to the bathroom." Qi Zhan continued to drive to the service station.
Zhou Jinwen looked at him in surprise, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Not long after Qi Zhan got out of the car, Ruan Zhi, who was in the backseat, also got up."I'm going down to buy a bottle of water.”
Zhou Jinwen seemed to be enlightened. He held back his laughter and shook his head."It's fine. You can go."
"Bring me a bottle of water too, thank you.”Zhong Xin did not stand on ceremony.
"Yes." Ruan Zhi nodded. She carried her small bag and got out of the car, rushing to the convenience store in the service area.
Less than a minute after she left, Qi Zhan had already returned to the car.
Zhou Jinwen looked at him with a different gaze. Just as he was about to tease him, he saw Zhong Xin in the back seat from the corner of his eye. He hesitated but didn't say anything.
He picked up his phone and sent him a few sinister smirking emojis. Qi Zhan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took out his phone and glanced at him casually. Then, he put away his phone and looked ahead as if he did not know anything.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Jinwen's face was so full of smiles that a flower was about to bloom.
When Ruan Zhi walked back from afar, Qi Zhan turned his head and glared at Zhou Jinwen with a hint of warning, signaling him to restrain himself.
The car restarted and drove towards the highway.
Although Zhou Jinwen said that he didn't need it, Ruan Zhi still bought four bottles of water.
"Thank you." When Zhong Xin took the water from her hand, her gaze happened to see the other two bottles in the front seat.
His eyes seemed to have discovered some big gossip and he could not help but tease deliberately,"Ah Zhi, why is it different with a bottle of water? Is it for Qi Zhan? Aren't you being a little biased?"
His words instantly caused the atmosphere in the car to drop by a few degrees. Ruan Zhixiu frowned slightly. Along the way, Zhong Xin didn't say much. She thought that was it. She didn't expect that she had underestimated this person's ability to cause trouble.
That bottle of water was just because the convenience store happened to run out of the same brand of water, so she randomly picked another brand. It was just a bottle of mineral water, but Zhong Xin could actually bring it up. She probably wanted to use this as an excuse to bring up the past. She did not satisfy her at the wedding banquet, and now she had to make things difficult for her.
She raised her eyebrows and was about to retort when Zhou Jinwen, who was sitting in the front seat, took the bottle of mineral water first and took a big gulp." It's for me, right?!" Ah Zhi is so thoughtful. She still remembers that I like this brand of mineral water and specially picked this bottle for me. Thank you.”
After being interrupted by him, Zhong Xin couldn't continue speaking. She could only laugh awkwardly."Is, is that so? I forgot that you guys are from Qing Ning University.”
"Yeah, we played together in university, so we naturally know each other better.”Zhou Jinwen replied with a smile, then turned around and didn't look back.
However, no one noticed that the moment he turned around, the smile on his face collapsed.
Zhou Jinwen couldn't help but complain in his heart. Qi Zhan must have a hole in his brain to agree to take a ride from Zhong Xin!
However, what was unexpected was that Zhong Xin still insisted on saying something shocking at this time: "I've been wanting to ask you something for a long time. Don't take it to heart. I'm a straightforward person. I just want to ask, Ah Zhi, did you and Qi Zhan have a relationship in university?”
After saying this, Zhou Jinwen couldn't help but shiver in the front seat. He felt as if ten thousand f ** k mud horses were galloping in his heart. This guy was purely looking for trouble, right?
He stole a glance at Qi Zhan, who was driving. Although his face was still expressionless, Qi Zhan's jaw line was tight and his brows were slightly furrowed. He was obviously very unhappy with Zhong Xin's question.
He stole a glance at Ruan Zhi through the rearview mirror, and his expression was similarly ugly.
Zhou Jinwen let out a long sigh and a smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to change the topic, he didn't expect Zhong Xin to stare at Ruan Zhi and ask again,""Ah Zhi, why aren't you saying anything? Just one question, you just have to tell me yes or no.”
Zhou Jinwen silently rolled his eyes in his heart. The matter between the two of them could not be answered with a simple yes or no.
It was said that an onlooker saw things clearly, but as a bystander, he still did not know if the two of them had been together back then.
Ruan Zhi twirled the bottle of mineral water in her hand, her eyes dark. Then, she raised her head and took a sip of water before taking a deep breath...
"Not really."
"Not really."
Ruan Zhi and Qi Zhan, who were in the car, spat out these two words at the same time and were stunned at the same time.
Qi Zhan lifted his eyelids and looked at her through the rearview mirror. Then, Ruan Zhi looked away first and her heart sank. Qi Zhan's denial was not surprising to her.
Fortunately, even though she was so thick-skinned back then, now that she thought about it, she indeed did not think that she and Qi Zhan had dated before.
They had never said anything about starting or separating. The two of them had been separated for five years without any contact.
After getting the answer, Zhong Xin didn't continue to ask. Instead, she gave Ruan Zhi a meaningful look with a hint of mockery.
Ruan Zhi could not be bothered to argue with such a person. She leaned her head back in her chair and closed her eyes to catch up on sleep. She had to go to the office early the next morning, so she did not have much rest.
Perhaps it was because it was late, she quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the car was already on the off-road. The toll station entrance of Qing Ning was just ahead.
Ruan Zhi sat up straight and rubbed the corners of her eyes. She took out her phone and realized that it was already past four in the morning. A faint greenish white light could be seen on the horizon.
The temperature in Qing Ning had always been low. At this moment, it was still drizzling outside. Even through the car window, one could still feel the cold outside.
She couldn't help but wrap her coat around herself. Looking at the foggy and rainy weather outside the window, she sighed softly. She didn't know when the rainy weather in Qingning would end. She felt that she hadn't seen a sunny scenery in a long time.
After entering the toll booth, they entered Qing Ning.
Zhou Jinwen turned around and asked Zhong Xin,""Beauty Zhong, where do you live?"
"I live in the western suburbs. It's not far ahead.”
"You're closer, so we'll send you there first. Ah Zhan and I live in Chengnan District.”
Zhou Jinwen heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that Zhong Xin did not go along the way with them. Then, he asked,"Ah Zhi, you're also from Chengnan District, right?”
"Yes." Ruan Zhi nodded slightly.
"Are you still staying at the same place?”Zhou Jinwen asked.
Ruan Zhi was silent for a moment before shaking her head.""No, I moved a long time ago. I live near the company now.”
Zhou Jinwen was also stunned. He looked at Qi Zhan, who was driving, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He didn't continue asking.
After Zhong Xin got out of the car, the atmosphere in the car seemed to have changed at that moment.
After Zhou Jinwen asked about Ruan Zhi's address, the three of them had their own thoughts and didn't say anything else.
As they approached Chengnan District, Qi Zhan's phone rang.
Hearing this familiar young voice again, Ruan Zhi still felt ashamed and wanted Qi Zhan to change his ringtone immediately.
However, before she could finish feeling embarrassed, Qi Zhan had already picked up the phone. After a while, he put away the phone and looked up slightly as if asking for her opinion."Ruan Zhi, we need to take a detour to pick someone up before sending you home, okay?”
"Who are you picking up?" Zhou Jinwen asked curiously.
Qi Zhan paused for a moment and then answered a name."Shi Luo."
