Chapter 54 Farewell
You will always meet all kinds of people in life. If you get along well with them, you will go together. If you don’t, you will go your separate ways.
Tan Xuan and Xiao Di found a 24-hour restaurant and planned to splurge. After all, they made a lot of money. They were not good at planned economy. They had to enjoy life today. Besides, this much money was enough for them to get drunk several times. However, only a few global chain restaurants were still open during this time. The conditions were very limited. They had no room to show off their skills if they wanted to be extravagant. They could only eat enough. As for eating and drinking well, that was an excessive request. If it was later , they could only add a few more eggs to the pancakes if they wanted to be extravagant.
During the meal, they didn't mention Su Cheng again. Since they were not on the same path, the best option was to become strangers again. Blaming and complaining were both devaluing their own personality.
Although the food tasted average, the two people were not picky. One was really hungry, and the other was really tired, so neither of them ate less. The table was filled with leftover packaging boxes.
After dinner, Tan Xuan drove Xiao Di home again. Not only did he not ask Xiao Di for money, he also transferred the money Xiao Di earned from "selling" the magic weapon to her. Xiao Di, who usually spoke ill of Tan Xuan, was a little surprised. It was still dark, so how could the sun rise from the west? She thought that Tan Xuan had hit her head when she was fighting with Yu Jing. After all, she did not participate in anything from beginning to end, and she did not even contribute to the blackmail. Xiao Di wanted to give half to Tan Xuan, but Tan Xuan did not want it at all.
"If I say it's for you, it's for you. Thank you for not leaving me alone by the river."
After saying this, Tan Xuan drove away, leaving Xiao Di bathing in the cool morning breeze, cursing Tan Xuan for being a petty person who held a grudge. Of course, she was glad that she was not the one being hated this time.
Although he made a small profit, life has to go on. Tan Xuan did not abandon his career as a driver because of that little money. He continued to drive his online car-hailing vehicle from day to night and returned early. He felt happy and comfortable doing it.
However, Xiao Di used the car every now and then, which made Tan Xuan somewhat unhappy. Although Xiao Di did not use the car for free every time and paid the normal chartered car price, she often arranged other errands for Tan Xuan. This was the main reason why Tan Xuan disliked her as a long-term customer, but he dared not say anything.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since the Zhongyuan Festival. After people have paid tribute to their ancestors, they have begun to prepare for the next festival for the living to reunite. However, these festivals have nothing to do with Tan Xuan. When he was with his master before, he could cook a few more dishes and make do with the elderly people in the Liangren Bureau. Now that his master is gone, he is left alone. Every day he reunites with himself, and it doesn't matter whether he celebrates the festival or not.
The night was getting late again, and the continuous orders finally came to an end. Occasionally, a few cars passed by on the street, and pedestrians were basically not seen for half a day. Those who should go home have already gone home, and those who should not go home will not take a taxi.
"Um!"
While wandering around, Tan Xuan noticed someone waving at him from the roadside ahead. Tan Xuan raised his eyebrows. This was not a taxi, so there was no rule to stop when waved at. Moreover, he found that the person waving was not a real person. Anyway, there were no passengers in the middle of the night, so it was nice to have some fun. Tan Xuan did not pretend to ignore it, but stepped on the accelerator and drove the car over.
When he arrived in front of the "person", Tan Xuan no longer had the intention to tease him, because the person who stopped the car was not another "person", but Yu Jing who was taken away by Sister Quan'er a few days ago.
"Benefactor, it really is you." Yu Jing said happily.
"Why are you here?" When Tan Xuan saw Yu Jing, he was not surprised at all. Instead, his expression turned ugly. Tan Xuan did not get out of the car, nor did he let Yu Jing get in. He just rolled down the window and talked to her.
"I'm here to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have waited until my soul was torn apart. Thank you..." Yu Jing bowed deeply to Tan Xuan.
"I've already said all this, so there's no need to say it again." Tan Xuan waved his hand, not letting Yu Jing continue to thank him profusely, and then asked, "You came out to collect a debt, and you met me on the way?"
"No." Yu Jing shook her head and said sincerely, "I came here specially to thank you. A case has been filed against me and the murderer will be punished soon. I came here specially to thank you and also to say goodbye to you."
Tan Xuan looked at Yu Jing and said calmly, "Well, let me congratulate you on getting your grievances redressed and your revenge, and I wish you a safe journey. There's no need to say thank you, but I guess I've also set a precedent for the Good Man Bureau by helping ghosts get justice."
Yu Jing said firmly: "No, revenge must be taken, and kindness must be repaid. This is true for both humans and ghosts. I don't know if there is an afterlife, and I'm afraid I won't have the chance to repay you, so I want to repay you today. I don't have anything to give you, but my body..."
"Stop it! I don't want your body." Hearing Yu Jing's words, Tan Xuan quickly stopped her, and his face darkened instantly. What's going on? I've heard that in ancient times, people would sacrifice their bodies to save people. How come modern ghosts are also doing this? Did they learn "body compensation" from humans?
Yu Jing was stunned, staring at Tan Xuan blankly, "My benefactor, I am not giving you my body. I mean, my hair is the only part of my body that I have specially cultivated. Maybe it can be of some use to you, so I can give it to you."
"If you want mine... then I agree..." Yu Jing said shyly and embarrassedly.
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense. If you dare to be rude again, I will kill you." Tan Xuan was so angry that he almost cursed. My goodness, are you here to repay a favor or to take revenge? I haven't even met a girlfriend yet, I can only dream of you, a female ghost, succeeding.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Seeing that Tan Xuan was really angry, Yu Jing hurriedly apologized.
It took Tan Xuan a long time to relax. Tan Xuan waved to Yu Jing outside the car and said, "Go now. If there is a next life, be smarter."
"I will." Yu Jing nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. You should go back as well. If you sneak up here and get caught, the punishment will be severe."
As he spoke, Tan Xuan slowly raised the car window.
"etc!"
Yu Jing called out and Tan Xuan stopped what he was doing.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Tan Xuan asked.
Yu Jing took out a folded lucky star from her clothes and handed it in through the car window. "I really can't repay you for your kindness. This is for you. I hope you will always be lucky."
"Okay, thank you." Tan Xuan took it and was rarely polite to a ghost.
"Bye-Bye!"
Yu Jing took two steps back, bowed deeply to Tan Xuan again, then turned and walked into a dark alley, and her figure gradually disappeared.
Goodbye, not goodbye, because there will be no chance to see you again.
Tan Xuan looked at the lucky star in his hand. It was made of yellow paper. Yu Jing's craftsmanship was good. The paper was folded tightly and looked very beautiful.
"Hmm!" Upon closer inspection, Tan Xuan discovered that there were a few lines of small words written on the outside of the Lucky Star, and the color was very light. Tan Xuan turned on the reading light and took a closer look. It was a method of entering a dream.
Tan Xuan smiled slightly and put away the lucky star, "It seems that he is still a ghost with intentions."
Han Dong died. He drove into the river after drinking. He fell into the river right at the railway bridge. Xiao Di told Tan Xuan this news the day after Yu Jing left. Xiao Di wanted Tan Xuan to drive her to the scene, but was rejected by Tan Xuan. There was nothing to see. Those who should die died, and those who should leave left. There were only some onlookers there, and nothing to see.
Night fell again, and Tan Xuan drove his car back to the street. Summer had unknowingly come to an end, and the temperature had gradually turned cooler, and it was quite obvious from the way the female passengers were dressed. The female passengers who were originally wearing short skirts and shorts were now wearing stockings, and a thin shirt over their shorts that set off their beautiful figures. Perhaps they were still as charming as ever during the day, but it was a pity that Tan Xuan's working hours meant that he didn't have the pleasure of seeing them.
Around seven o'clock, Tan Xuan received the first order of the day, from Financial Street to Food Court. It was the evening rush hour after work, and the traffic conditions near Financial Street during this time were indescribable. The customers were on one side of the road, and the cars were on this side of the road, but they could not see each other even though their eyes met. It seemed that there was not a double yellow line between them, but a Milky Way. The passenger who placed the order urged her again and again, but there was nothing she could do. After all, the traffic was so congested that it was difficult to find a car that could leave immediately even if she canceled the order.
Finally, Tan Xuan drove the car to the downstairs of the office building indicated in the navigation. After calling the passenger, a young woman walked out of the building with an even younger girl. Tan Xuan could tell them apart just from their figure and walking posture without having to see each other's faces clearly.
"Oh my god, you're finally here. If you had come a little later, we would have had to go to work directly..." The young woman started complaining as soon as she got into the car. Tan Xuan was not unfamiliar with this voice because he had urged him several times before.
"I'm sorry, it's the evening rush hour after get off work, and this is probably the most congested section of Jiangzhou. Please fasten your seat belts..."
Tan Xuan politely explained to the passenger and drove off . As a driver of online car-hailing, he had memorized all the clichés of receiving passengers. Anyway, if the passenger didn't cancel the order, he would ignore his complaints. His goal was to send the passenger to the destination and check out smoothly. As for the passenger's expression or appearance, he didn't even look at them. It was enough for him to see the road ahead and the navigation clearly.
"Is it you?" There was a sudden cry of surprise from the back row.
Tan Xuan glanced behind him through the rearview mirror and was also surprised, "It's you!"
"It's really you. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Haha..." The girl behind him let out a laugh as sweet as a silver bell.
"What a coincidence." Tan Xuan also smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that we would meet again."
