Chen Yan always felt that there was some hidden meaning in Meng Xue's words.
If she wanted to leave, she would drive herself.
If she didn't want to leave... could she stay?
However, Chen Yan just briefly thought about it in his head and didn't ask about it. Instead, he said, "It's okay, if there's no car, I'll just slowly hail a taxi."
Seeing that Chen Yan insisted, Meng Xue didn't say anything more, but saw him out and reminded him how to get downstairs, how to exit the complex, and where it was easier to get a taxi, among other things.
After seriously listening, Chen Yan expressed his thanks once more and then left Meng Xue's house.
Following the "route map" Meng Xue gave, Chen Yan went downstairs, exited the complex, and arrived at the intersection.
Meng Xue's residential complex was upscale yet somewhat remote, akin to a newly developed area.
Chen Yan waited by the roadside for a long time without catching a ride, not even a ride-sharing service was available nearby.
