GTRSH Chapter 10

Yu Xinche left the community and saw that the number of passengers queuing on the taxi app was increasing, and he still could not get a taxi, so he went to the bus stop with an umbrella.

He’ll take the bus or the taxi, whichever comes first.

When he was still two hundred meters away from the platform, he watched the bus he wanted to take pass by, stop at the bus stop, and then leave.

There was always a traffic jam on a rainy day. If he missed the bus, he was not sure how long he would have to wait.

A bit of bad luck today.

He patted the water droplets on his bag and resigned himself to wait in the corner of the bus platform.

There were many people who had the same idea as him. Private hire cars stopped at the platform one after another to pick up passengers.

Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of him.

The car model was grand and had an attractive appearance.

Yu Xinche didn’t know much about cars, but he could feel that this car was obviously not of the same class as the online-hailing cars that had just stopped. The smooth lines outlined the elegant body of the car, and it exuded the low-key smell of money.

Maybe someone paid a lot of money to order this exclusive luxury car.

Nearby gazes all shifted over, and Yu Xinche heard someone exclaim a curse in shock.

The car was parked too coincidentally right in front of him, causing him to be stared at by people around him.

Yu Xinche wanted to avoid the misunderstanding and took two steps back.

Just as he wanted to move another step, the car window rolled down and he saw He Ci, whom he had just seen a few minutes ago, sitting in the driver’s seat.

He Ci nodded his chin at the passenger seat: “Come on up, I’ll give you a ride.”

“Ah?” Yu Xinche never thought it would be He Ci.

In his mind, He Ci was not such a friendly person, and they had not yet become close enough to the point where they could take a ride.

He thought about it and guessed that He Ci just happened to bump into him, and asked a question out of politeness. So he said, “Thank you, but I already got a car.”

He Ci stared at him for two seconds and nodded: “Really? What’s the license plate number?”

Yu Xinche: “…”

Perhaps he could see his dilemma, He Ci said, “If you are going to school, it’s on my way and will be no trouble.”

A car behind was honking its horn to urge him to go, and Yu Xinche couldn’t refuse any longer, so he folded his umbrella and got in the car.

“Thanks. But are you really on your way?”

“Really. I’m going to the club. Here, wipe yourself first.” He Ci handed over a tissue and confirmed, “Are you going to school?”

“Yeah.” Yu Xinche wiped the water off his arms and the sweat from his forehead.

Even if it rains in midsummer, it only changes the weather from dry and hot to humid and hot. Compared with the scorching sun, the stickiness of rainy days was another kind of torture in a different way.

While waiting for the bus just now, the stuffy feeling on his body became more and more severe, and Yu Xinche’s mood was getting from bad to worse.

Now sitting in the car, the summer heat was replaced by the cool air of the air conditioner, and the annoying rain was blocked by the car windows, which finally made Yu Xinche feel a little relaxed.

When people relax, they tend to become lazy, and when they become lazy, they tend to overturn the car¹overturn the car: 翻车 – a situation that goes wrong, often unexpectedly or embarrassingly and gets exposed.

He looked at the luxurious interior of the car, and couldn’t help laughing when he thought that he had just mistakenly thought that this was a luxury car that was hailed through a taxi app.

The sound was not loud, but He Ci still noticed it: “What are you laughing at?”

“Nothing.”

He Ci snorted and shook his head to express his disbelief.

Yu Xinche didn’t intend to explain.

He would rather be laughed at by He Ci than explain. What if He Ci knew that he was mistaking him for a taxi driver?

However, He Ci did not ask any further questions this time. Yu Xinche turned his head to look at him curiously and found that he was looking ahead intently.

I see. The driver probably didn’t want to be distracted while driving in the heavy rain.

He Ci stopped in the right lane and drove conscientiously and responsibly. If this was really a taxi, Yu Xinche would definitely write a five-star review for Master He.

Yu Xinxhe thought silently in his heart, cooperated and didn’t make any noise. He sat quietly all the way, only taking out his mobile phone to order two cups of milk tea on the mini program.

When watching the TZ documentary in the morning, he noticed that He Ci’s team seldom ordered coffee, but milk tea and fruit tea often appeared in the camera.

“Turn left at the next intersection?” He Ci asked as they were almost at the shopping district we visited last time.

There were three or four universities nearby, and he was not sure which school Yu Xinche was from.

“Just pull over at the intersection. I’ll go through the small gate later. It’s hard to turn around there.”

“Okay.” He Ci didn’t force it and stopped near the subway station as he asked.

Yu Xinche unbuckled his seat belt but didn’t get out of the car. He asked him, “Are you in a hurry? If not, I’ll buy you a cup of milk tea. As a thank you.”

When he finished speaking, his eyes curved into a smile.

He Ci also smiled when he saw this: “Okay.”

“Then wait a moment, I’ll go buy it, it’ll be quick.”

“Don’t rush, I’m not in a hurry.”

Just now, when He Ci was driving, he saw a little boy on the side of the road who almost fell. Although Yu Xinche was not a child, he subconsciously said this, and after he finished speaking, he felt that he was being too long-winded.

“oh oh, okay.”

Yu Xinche came back soon and handed over one of the cups.

He Ci took it, inserted the straw and took a sip.

The taste was very ordinary. To be honest, it’s like thin milk diluted with water. Plus with the thin straw, you can’t drink much at a time, which makes it even more bland.

He glanced at the cup. It was a milk tea without ice and 30% sweetness.

Blacklisted.

“Does it taste okay?” Yu Xinche asked.

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and He Ci wanted to praise it against his will, so he took another sip and tried to find out what was good about it.

…I still can’t say any praise.

He said honestly: “It’s just average, a little bland.”

“Oh. This one really has a lighter flavor. I thought you would like something lighter.” Yu Xinche didn’t seem surprised. He handed over his cup as well. “I haven’t had mine yet. Can I give it to you too? This one is sweeter.”

“It’s okay, you can drink it.” He Ci said.

“I can buy more. You can keep it and try it, or give it to your teammates.” Yu Xinche put the cup away, got up quickly and slipped away.

After taking two steps, Yu Xinche turned back.

When He Ci rolled down the car window, Yu Xinche leaned in and spoke hesitantly, not as clearly as he had spoken previously.

“Hmm?” He Ci raised his eyebrows.

“I have seriously considered what you said last time, but I am still struggling with it. Not replying is not… I am not keeping you hanging, please don’t mind it.”

Yu Xinche looked a little nervous. He Ci didn’t want to put pressure on him, so he smiled at him and pretended not to care: “It’s a small matter. I said the deadline was next Friday.”

“Got it, bye bye.”

After Yu Xinche left, He Ci didn’t start the car immediately. He opened the other cup of milk tea and took a sip.

He Ci sucked up the topping first, which tasted like pudding, but with a stronger milk flavor. It wasn’t as chewy as pudding, and it felt a little softer. It was silky and melted in my mouth.

The taste was good, but the flavor was a bit greasy.

Then drinking the milk tea, with a rich milky flavor.

And it’s much sweeter than expected.

It turns out that Yu Xinche likes something this sweet.

He Ci shook his head and put the two cups, one sweet and one light, into the bag and put them aside.

The milk tea paper bag was light green, a bit similar to the color of the short-sleeved shirt Yu Xinche was wearing today.

The image of Yu Xinche as I met him in the neighborhood just now reappeared in front of He Ci’s eyes again. Yu Xinche face was a little red, and he was slow to answer questions.

Yu Xinche doesn’t have a cute appearance, but he can be quite cute sometimes.

He was also not very tolerant of teasing. Although he looks calm and composed, He Ci always feels that he was secretly angry inside.

Thinking about it this way, it seems normal that he likes sweet things.
