Mu Qiu sat in the passenger seat. The man was driving personally. It was too quiet in the car and Mu Qiu felt awkward, so she took the initiative to start a conversation. She asked the man, "Were you going home after work?"
"Kind of." After answering, perhaps the man felt that his brief reply would cause her to feel disregarded, so the man added. "I just came back from a work trip."
"I see." Mu Qiu occasionally glanced at the man beside her and felt that he looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember him at that moment. Mu Qiu felt uneasy and didn't speak much after that.
After parking the car at the main entrance of the Amethyst Gated Community, the man spoke up to remind Mu Qiu who was in a daze. "Young lady, we have arrived."
Mu Qiu snapped out of her trance and nodded at the man. "Thank you."
"No need."
