Li Xiaolu was taken aback.
Her?
How did Jijun get her umbrella?
She had no recollection of it at all.
She looked at Jijun and asked, "How did my umbrella end up with you?"
Jijun remained silent, simply opening the car door to gesture for her to get in.
Li Xiaolu hesitated for a moment before sitting down.
Once inside, Jijun said, "Buckle up."
Li Xiaolu snapped back to reality and quickly pulled the seatbelt across her.
Jijun started the car.
Li Xiaolu stole a glance at him.
He was still the same as before, expressionless and seeming rather indifferent.
Li Xiaolu asked, "What are you doing here?"
Jijun replied, "Working."
Li Xiaolu was stunned. "You work at Science Park?"
Jijun nodded slightly.
Li Xiaolu had nothing more to say.
She felt uneasy about such a coincidence.
Taking out her phone, she opened WeChat.
Zhang Lin had sent her a message.
"Dear, are we having dinner together tonight?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "No, I'm out right now and probably won't be back until later."
Zhang Lin sent a crying emoji in response.
Li Xiaolu couldn't help but laugh.
She looked up at Jijun.
He was focused on driving.
Li Xiaolu wondered what kind of work he was doing now.
Is he still the same as before, still so outstanding?
She wanted to ask Li Jijun, but she didn't know how to start.
She withdrew her gaze and continued looking at her phone.
Zhang Lin sent her another message.
"Where are you?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "On the way."
Zhang Lin sent a confused emoji, "What are you doing on the way?"
Li Xiaolu said, "Going home."
Zhang Lin asked, "By yourself?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "No."
Zhang Lin inquired, "With whom?"
Li Xiaolu hesitated.
She wasn't sure if she should tell Zhang Lin that she was with Li Jijun.
After thinking for a moment, she decided against it.
"With a friend."
Zhang Lin sent a mischievous emoji, "A guy?"
Li Xiaolu: "……"
Zhang Lin said, "Don't tell me it's Li Jijun."
Li Xiaolu was taken aback, "How did you know?"
Zhang Lin exclaimed, "Is it true?!"
Li Xiaolu replied, "Yeah."
Zhang Lin said, "Wow, what kind of fate do you two have?"
Li Xiaolu: "……"
Zhang Lin asked, "Is he working in Hong Kong now?"
Li Xiaolu said, "I think so."
Zhang Lin asked, "What job is he doing?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "I don't know."
Zhang Lin said, "Haven't you talked about it?"
Li Xiaolu said, "I didn't say anything."
Zhang Lin sent a laughing-crying emoji, "Can you really chat like this?"
Li Xiaolu: "……"
Zhang Lin asked, "So where are you now?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "On the way to Harbor City."
Zhang Lin said, "What a coincidence!"
Li Xiaolu responded, "Yeah."
Zhang Lin continued, "Is the job market in Hong Kong really that tough? Even Jijun has to become a taxi driver?"
Li Xiaolu: "……"
Zhang Lin sent a laughing emoji.
Li Xiaolu was speechless.
She turned off her phone and looked out the window.
It was still raining outside.
Her mood was a bit complicated.
She hadn't expected to run into Jijun again.
Even more so, she hadn't anticipated that they would reunite in this way.
She had gradually let go of Jijun and didn't want any ties with him anymore.
Yet fate had brought them together once more.
She closed her eyes and sighed.
...
The road to Harbor City was very congested.
Li Xiaolu looked out the window, feeling a bit restless.
She took out her phone to check the time; it was almost one o'clock.
