Chapter 141 - When We Were Young and Reckless (1) (2/2)
Furthermore, the fact that his phone number always rang meant that his phone had not run out of battery.
As she continued to call him, she flagged down a cab and asked the cab driver a question that he found extremely strange, ”Could you randomly drive me around this cafe and stop at any place which can be reached from the cafe in exactly ten minutes?”
She worriedly stared through the car window. However, she did not see any car accidents along the road.

She bit her lip and silently stared outside the cafe.
It was already dark here in Beijing, and cars drove to and fro on the road.
