Li Xinran recorded while interviewing Ye Xiu, discovering that Ye Xiu was genuinely interesting. Everything he said made her laugh until her stomach hurt. The journey was filled with laughter and joy.
As they drove onto the main road, the traffic increased. Ye Xiu was driving normally, but some people just loved being obnoxious.
*Honk—honk honk—*
A car behind them, an Audi, kept honking incessantly, urging Ye Xiu to drive faster. Despite having an open lane beside him to pass, the Audi driver chose to stay behind Ye Xiu, being extremely obnoxious. The driver stuck his head out the window and yelled, "Hey, kid, can you drive any faster? Are you even a man, driving so slowly?"
Inside the car, Li Xinran glanced back, remained silent, and then looked at Ye Xiu, blinking curiously. She was eager to see how Ye Xiu would handle this.
Ye Xiu continued driving without reacting, as if he hadn't heard the Audi driver. This made the Audi driver even angrier. "Hey, are you deaf? I told you to drive faster! Are you not embarrassed to drive that crappy Hyundai on the road?"
Yet, Ye Xiu still didn't respond, maintaining his speed. Suddenly, a Maserati in front of them braked abruptly. Ye Xiu couldn't dodge in time.
*Screech—*
With a slight swerve, he managed to avoid a direct collision but still scraped the Maserati's taillight. Ye Xiu noticed two stickers on the back of the Maserati. One read, "New driver, please be considerate," and the other said, "Older single woman, rear-end me and you must marry me."
The Audi driver laughed loudly upon seeing the accident. "Hahaha, this is hilarious! With such lousy driving skills, you dare to be on the road? This is killing me! Driving a crappy Hyundai and hitting a Maserati, let's see how you pay for this!"
As the Audi driver mocked, the Maserati stopped, and a long, fair leg stepped out of the car. The Audi driver's laughter abruptly stopped, and he stared intently. He hadn't expected the Maserati driver to be a beautiful woman.
A woman with a height of about 170 cm, long legs, flowing hair, and wearing a tight skirt stepped out. She was exceptionally attractive and carried herself with elegance. The Audi driver's heart skipped a beat: "Wow, this chick is stunning! Damn, I'm smitten."
Regaining some composure, the Audi driver sneered again. "This girl looks like a rich beauty. You, driving a crappy Hyundai, dare to hit a Maserati? Let's see how you compensate."
The elegant woman walked to the back of the car, slightly lifted her hair, and examined the scrape. There were three obvious scratches. She then approached Ye Xiu's car, knocked on the window, and said, "Don't hide, let's discuss how to resolve this."
Ye Xiu rolled down the window, smiled at her, and said, "I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional. You stopped suddenly, and I couldn't react in time. Okay, how much do I owe you?"
The woman was about to name a price, but upon seeing Ye Xiu's face, she paused, her eyes lighting up: "He's so handsome!" She changed her tone, smiled, and said, "Actually, you don't have to pay. Did you see the other sticker on my car?"
Ye Xiu replied, "Yes, I saw it. 'New driver, please be considerate.' I get it. I hit your car, so I should pay."
She shook her head. "I meant the other one. Look, it says, 'Older single woman, rear-end me and you must marry me.' In this vast sea of people, you hit my car. Don't you think it's fate? Handsome, give me your contact info. Let's have dinner sometime."
Behind them, the Audi driver was still waiting for Ye Xiu to make a fool of himself. Hearing this, he was stunned.
"???"
"How did this turn into a dinner invitation? Didn't he just rear-end your car? That 'Older single woman, rear-end me and you must marry me' sticker was just a joke, right? Is she serious? Does being handsome let you do whatever you want?"
Ye Xiu smiled at the woman. "Sorry, but I can't. We can exchange WeChat; I'll transfer the money to you. But no need for a dinner. I have something to do today."
"Alright," she said, somewhat disappointed. After exchanging WeChat information, Ye Xiu drove away. The woman got back in her car and continued driving, followed closely by the Audi.
The Audi driver looked at the "Older single woman, rear-end me and you must marry me" sticker. Clenching his teeth, he decided to go for it. Flooring the gas pedal, he rammed into the Maserati's rear end hard, causing the car's back to dent significantly. The woman, who was messaging Ye Xiu, nearly got thrown from her seat but was saved by her seatbelt.
Fuming, she got out of her car to confront the idiot who hit her. The Audi driver was already out of his car, standing there with a smug grin. Seeing her approach, he didn't wait for her to speak. "Sorry about the crash, but I saw the sticker on your car. How about you give me your number?"
She looked him up and down with disdain. "No."
"???"
His smile froze. Refusing to give up, he said, "Fine, just go to a repair shop and tell me how much it costs. I'll pay, but I don't have cash. Can we exchange WeChat?"
"No."
"??? Not even a WeChat? Why not? You just gave it to that other guy!"
The woman took a photo of the damage and sent it to a repair shop. Soon, she received the estimate. "The repair will cost eight thousand. Scan this code and pay."
The Audi driver's face twitched. "Can't we at least have a meal together first?"
"You seriously don't get it, do you? Look at yourself. Do you have any self-awareness?"
"……!!!!!"
Crushed, he pointed to the sticker. "But your car says, 'Older single woman, rear-end me and you must marry me.'"
She rolled her eyes. "We're all adults here. Do you actually believe that joke? Or are you just trying to weasel out of paying? Because if you don't pay, I'm calling the police."
"Wait! Don't call the police. I'll pay!"
Defeated, he transferred the eight thousand yuan and watched her drive away, leaving him standing there heartbroken. As he lamented his eight-thousand-yuan loss, he also noticed the damage to his own Audi.
His heart sank. He had just lost money and damaged his own car. This was a complete disaster.
