Upon hearing Xia Xin's words, Jiangli simply replied with two words: "In a hurry."
Xia Xin: "..."
Alright.
He would pretend he didn't say anything.
Xia Xin swallowed back all the words of persuasion and stood by the roadside with Jiangli to hail a car heading to Jin Mountain.
The driver was somewhat surprised to hear they were going to Jin Mountain this late at night; as he started the car, he confirmed: "Are you really going to Jin Mountain? Although the scenery there is nice, it's a mountainous area. Not only is there little to see this late, but it's also unsafe. Do you have some urgent matter that you must go there?"
Jiangli leaned back in the seat, closed her eyes, and kept silent.
Seeing this, Xia Xin could only smile awkwardly and say: "Yes, there's an urgent task we must attend to."
The driver discerned they were reluctant to talk, so he simply nodded and refrained from asking further questions, then drove them to Jin Mountain.
