Chapter 1895 — The Car Broke Down?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Xu Shilan really is remarkable. Not only is she beautiful, her songs are lovely too—I like her a great deal as well!" Bai Weituo was no fool; he saw at once what was in He Meiyue's heart and put in a timely word. In truth, though, he did enjoy Xu Shilan's songs—most young people liked Xu Shilan.
"You like Xu Shilan too?" He Meiyue asked, her eyes lighting up.
"Yes, and I can even sing a few of her songs!" Bai Weituo nodded.
"Wonderful—then the two of us will do a duet in a little while!" He Meiyue said readily.
That left Zhang Duopan looking rather sour. He had proposed the KTV, naturally, in order to accompany He Meiyue while she practiced her songs—he had no gift for singing whatsoever. "Tone-deaf" would have been a compliment; even if you asked him to rap, he could not remember the lyrics.
And now Bai Weituo had happened to hit right on his weak spot! Zhang Duopan gave a laugh to cover it and changed the subject: "Let's go, we'll head over now. Oh, that's right—I came by car, but it only seats five. You all take a taxi?"
Zhang Duopan had a car and simply did not want Bai Weituo in it; besides, the car seated five at most. It worked out perfectly: three from He Meiyue's dormitory, plus him and Fan Ganhe—no more, no less.
So saying, Zhang Duopan rather impressively fished a car key out of his pocket and said, "Having a car these days is just so convenient!"
At Zhang Duopan's showing off, Bai Weituo gave a cold snort. The man was plainly needling them, but since the car really did seat five, there was no fault to be found.
Wang Xinyan, though, looked as if she wanted to say something, and then swallowed it.
In fact she had a car too—only she was not the sort who liked to show off, and hers was a sports car, rather eye-catching. Yesterday, after she had registered, she had parked it in the lot and not touched it since.
Besides, for a girl to be too conspicuous was not good either, so she merely said, "You all go by car. I'll go along with them... otherwise they won't be able to find the KTV..."
That KTV was one Wang Xinyan's roommates had come upon the night before while out shopping. It was neither far nor near—driving there was a little pointless—but Zhang Duopan's real aim was to display his means, not that he had to drive.
Wang Xinyan's words left Fan Ganhe's face visibly uncomfortable, yet there was nothing to be done—after all, who among them could serve as guide for Wei Zhao and the others? Only Wang Xinyan was best suited for it.
The group reached the parking lot. Zhang Duopan, greatly pleased with himself, pointed at a Range Rover Evoque and pressed the remote in his hand—but the familiar click of the doors unlocking did not come! He was briefly startled, then pressed the remote again; the car still gave no response!
This made Zhang Duopan pause. Just as he was about to examine the car closely and see what on earth was the matter, a car happened to pull up nearby, and a young man and woman got out—plainly a wealthy student couple. They had only just arrived and did not know that Zhang Duopan was the owner of that car, so the young man remarked casually to the girl, "That car next to us, I don't know whose it is, some **'s—its lights were flashing all night long. It's probably flat out of battery now; by the time the driver shows up, he likely won't even be able to get the doors open!"
