Chapter 235: Overnight at the Highway Hotel

I started the car and turned on the low beam again. I subconsciously wanted to look back at her sitting in the back seat, but I had to act like a meaningless behavior after breaking up. At this time, any unconscious concern would become evidence that I still love her, but I just hope to use the indifferent and uneasy thing as the ending of this story.

I let out a light breath, finally stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the direction leaving Xitang.

The night completely enveloped the earth, but I drove the car very fast, hoping to end this torment of right and wrong as soon as possible.

After driving for about forty minutes, I gradually had enough of this silence that was stiffer than the night. Then I turned on the music player in the car, and the familiar melody echoed in the car.

After a few songs, Yunzi's song "Winter Solstice" came from the speakers, and my thoughts floated back to the New Year's Eve last year. I remember that in order to cooperate with the "Fifth Season" New Year's Eve event, Mi Cai specially learned Yunzi's two songs "Spring Equinox" and "The Beginning of Autumn", but she did not learn this song "Winter Solstice".

It seems that she should have fallen in love with the singer Yunzi because of this, so she has the out-of-print album "Spring Equinox, Beginning of Autumn, and Winter Solstice" in her car.

"Why are there so many walls, all the long roads getting longer and longer"

I was immersed in this lyrics and was a little dazed. In the trance, I couldn't help but think of the path I've walked, including love, career...

After thinking about it carefully, I seem to have been struggling to cross the walls created by reality over the years, but no matter how hard I try, I always find that there are higher walls behind me. So after gradually losing strength, I gained too much helplessness and complaints.

When I was distracted, I drove over a corner, but forgot to alternately change the high and low beams to remind the car coming in. I quickly switched the high beam to low beam, but the car opposite did not switch the lights. My sight appeared in the strong light, so I instinctively forced the brakes to slow down the speed.

Before his vision could recover, the car felt violently shaking. With Mi Cai screaming behind the car, the airbag on the steering wheel bounced out and hit my forehead heavily.

I was dizzy for a long time before my vision gradually recovered. Then I found that the car had hit a tree on the side of the road, and the tree had been broken in the waist.

I was scared. If the Q7 had not just been more advanced in safety and strong braking ability, the car speed would have been reduced at critical moments, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

I quickly untied my seat belt, opened the car door and ran to the back of the car, shouting Mi Cai's name. At this moment, I was not sure whether she had tied the seat belt in the back seat. If it wasn't tied, under such a big impact...

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and my hands opened the back door with a trembling hand, and I felt a little relieved. Mi Cai was wearing a seat belt on her body, but her expression looked a little dull.

I tentatively asked in a strong panic, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

She shook her head for a long time.

"You move your limbs gently to see if you have any injuries."

Mi Cai moved her hands and feet gently, and finally said, "No."

I felt relieved by the fact that I suddenly understood why Mi Cai was so frightened, because it was a car accident that took Mi Zhongxin's life. She was far more afraid of car accidents than ordinary people.

I felt distressed and blamed myself, so I untied my seat belt for her and carried her out of the car.

She held my hand tightly, and I gently hugged her in my arms, saying to her over and over again, "I'm sorry" and telling her, "We're fine."

After Micai's mood stabilized slightly, I finally called the rescue phone number using Micai's cell phone.

About half an hour later, the wreck truck arrived at the location where we had an accident. Micai registered the relevant information as the owner.

Before leaving, the rescuers told us that there was a road hotel 500 meters away. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in the hotel for one night first.

It was already late at night, and the rescuers had towed the car away for nearly a quarter of an hour. Mi Cai and I finally calmed down from the thrilling moment.

I asked her, "Are you going to stay in a road hotel?... Or let's wait here to see if there are any cars passing by Suzhou."

"I'm tired."

I nodded, then bent down and signaled her to come up. I carried her to the road hotel in front.

She was not burdened by the so-called breakup. She lay on me as she used to. I gently lifted her up and walked along the trees on the roadside to the hotel on the roadside with the help of the lights of the vehicles.

...

After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, we finally saw the road hotel mentioned by the rescuers. It was a very old hotel. In front of the hotel, due to the long-term crushing of heavy trucks, deep and shallow pits could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of gasoline and diesel.

This made me even more guilty. I think Micai must have never stayed in such a bad hotel.

Pushing open the door, I walked into the hotel with Mi Cai on my back. Sitting at the front desk was a slightly fat middle-aged woman, who was knitting a sweater while watching the TV.

I put down Mi Cai and signaled her to sit on the chair in the corner for a while, but she did not leave and was still standing beside me.

I took out my ID card and said to the middle-aged woman, "Hello, do you still have a room?"

"It's gone."

"Is this... nothing left?"

The middle-aged woman said impatiently: "Didn't you see the truck parked at the door? A convoy came tonight and there was no room."

I patiently said, "Help think of a solution. If we don't have a village or a shop in front of us, we have no place to go."

The middle-aged woman finally looked up at Mi Cai and me, and said, "I really have no house. Who doesn't want to do business if you have a house?"

I took out my wallet and pulled out a hundred dollars from it and put it on the counter, saying, "Think about a solution."

The middle-aged woman put 100 yuan in her pocket, thought for a while and said, "There is a room where our daughter lives. She is in college outside of the country and has been vacant for a long time. There is no bathroom inside, so she can only use public ones. If you don't dislike the poor conditions, just live."

I watched Mi Cai ask for her opinion and nodded.

I took out another hundred yuan and handed it to the middle-aged woman. She waved her hand and said, "No, the money I just gave is enough." After that, I found a key from the drawer and signaled Mi Cai and I to follow her.

...

After walking through a narrow corridor, we finally arrived at the room that the middle-aged woman said. She opened the door and signaled us to go in.

I thought about it and said to Mi Cai, "You go in and live. I'll just stay overnight on the sofa in the hall."

The middle-aged woman looked at me in confusion. Maybe in her eyes we were just a couple, and it was natural to live in a room.

Mi Cai looked at me, was silent for a while before saying, "I'm afraid of living alone."

The middle-aged woman had turned on the light and said to me: "The girls all said they were scared, and you were so embarrassed that you were a young man. Besides, you didn't have any extra quilts for you to sleep on the sofa outside... Anyway, you will overcome it overnight. It would be really inconvenient to bring you a chair and you lie on the desk to sleep."

I looked at Mi Cai again, and she still had a look of fear, obviously she was still afraid of the car accident just now.
