Three people exited the park under the cover of night and got into the car, but darkness still enveloped them.
"This place is really not fit for humans. Only you, with your unique mindset, would insist on coming here for a stroll!" Xu Qian expressed his discomfort with the silence around them, as such quietness could drive anyone mad.
"Are you complimenting me?"
Xia Xiaoyu, sitting in the back seat, understood Xu Qian's intention as well.
"I suppose so, but you really are quite special."
Xu Qian started the car while responding.
"Then you might as well share all the compliments you have for me!"
"That would take all day."
"I'm truly impressed that a psychologist like you can remain so carefree in such a situation."
"Mutual admiration!"
"Could you please be a bit more polite in your tone when speaking to me?"
"I'll try my best!"
The night wrapped around them endlessly, making it impossible to see where it ended. Xu Qian drove, and despite using the headlights, the road ahead remained blurry and distant.
Surrounded by darkness, everything felt unreal, as if it were merely an illusion.
"Are we in trouble?" Seeing Xia Xiaoyu's serious expression and Xu Qian's driving speed, Lin Xi felt that things were becoming increasingly severe.
"Congratulations, you got it right!" Xu Qian added.
"Xiao Xi, tell me how you got into Jingming Park!" Xia Xiaoyu felt it was necessary to ask Lin Xi and hoped to find a breakthrough.
"I..." Lin Xi's eyes showed a hint of recollection, and after a moment, she said, "I remember I went directly to the park after leaving the school gate, and then I ended up there!"
"Didn't you notice anything strange?" Xia Xiaoyu said with frustration, unable to believe that Lin Xi had overlooked so many key points for the sake of a date.
This experiment also proved a hypothesis: in matters of love, a woman's intelligence equals zero. Otherwise, how could they be pursued by those scoundrels?
Men in this world often use false appearances to deceive women's fragile hearts; men are unreliable.
"At that time, there was nothing unusual. Oh right, there wasn't a single person on the road, not even a couple of cars. I felt a bit nervous inside, but I didn't sense anything different."
"You should be able to think of it if you reflect carefully," Xia Xiaoyu said as she looked at Lin Xi.
"Um..."
Lin Xi paused for a moment, her eyes brightening as if she had thought of something. "Right, there wasn't a single person; not even one in the park! And I didn't see anything that could move! Isn't that abnormal?"
"Yes, so. When you walked out of the school gate, something brought you into the illusion!"
Xia Xiaoyu spoke profoundly, even though she had heard all this from Xu Qian and didn't fully understand it herself. However, she was confident that it would definitely impress Lin Xi.
"Next time, don't let a man trick you. Luckily, I arrived just in time." Although all the credit belonged to Xu Qian, as a friend, Xia Xiaoyu shamelessly took all the credit for herself and didn't miss the chance to scold all men.
Is she really clever?
"While cursing others, she still remembers to praise herself. What a talent!" Xu Qian shook his head with a wry smile.
"Wait, Xiao Qian, look ahead!"
Xia Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise as she looked through the front glass. Although it was somewhat hazy, she could still see a woman standing in the middle of the road in the distance, with her head lowered. It seemed like she was trying to hail a taxi?
Xiao Qian was driving at a slow speed, so as they got closer, the woman became clearer.
She appeared to be a woman in her thirties, with smooth hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. However, when they saw what she was wearing, both Xia Xiaoyu and Lin Xi felt a chill run down their spines.
Because that woman was dressed in clothing from the Qing Dynasty?
Oh my God, is it possible for a woman to wear clothes from the Qing Dynasty and go out on the streets in this day and age?
