519 A Passionate Night 3 (1/2)

After Su Zhinian left, Cheng Qingchong called to inform the driver.

When the driver saw Su Zhinian, he walked over immediately. ”Mr. Su.”

Su Zhinian was bent over coughing before he straightened himself. Under the single lamp post, the lines of the man's face were carved by the lights enhancing his handsomeness; however, at the bottom of his eyes, a red light was glowering.

The driver staggered back a few steps, startled by what he saw. After a moment, he asked cautiously, ”Mr. Su, are you okay?”

Why are so many people asking me that question tonight?

Su Zhinian laughed at the absurdity of the question as he tossed the cigarette box in his hands to the driver and opened his palm at him, saying, ”Car key.”

…

Su Zhinian did not know where he was going; he just drove through the busy Beijing streets aimlessly. The traffic at 8 pm was rather congested, and Su Zhinian was either honking for others to move, or others were doing the same to him.

As night drew close, the number of cars on the streets gradually dipped, and the speed of Su Zhinian's car increased. He drove all around the city and only drove off the main street when his tank almost hit the bottom.

Su Zhinian drove on the side street, looking for the next gas station. After filling the tank, Su Zhinian drove away from the station, and he only got onto the street when the large billboard on the skyscraper before him started to play the news from that morning.

”Good morning, thank you for tuning in to TW Station. I'm your host, Song Qingchun.”
