Afterward, Lin Li and Su Yue waited on the roadside for a few minutes before an empty taxi pulled up in front of them.
The temperature today was thirty-nine degrees, and the ground was even hotter. The two of them loaded their numerous bags, big and small, into the taxi's trunk.
As soon as they settled into the air-conditioned taxi, the irritating, sweltering heat vanished. It felt as if they had instantly escaped an inferno.
"Where are you two headed?" The driver, a middle-aged man, asked after seeing the two young people get in.
"To Happiness Garden District on Ping'an Road," Su Yue replied, giving the driver her home address.
After the car started, the talkative driver instinctively began to chat with his passengers.
"Judging by all your bags, you two must have just gotten back from a trip!"
"Mhm, we just came back from Qiong City..." Su Yue answered.
