Their flight to City C divided into two schedule. Ling Yue got the second one. Her friends began to gossip when they saw Ling Yue's new appearance. Some even greet her because she looks 'approachable'.
"At first I saw you like a bookworm, with those old-fashioned glasses." A woman from the public relations department invited her to talk.
Ling Yue replaced her old gold glasses with the latest, simplest model. Her bangs were cut slightly at an angle, showing her face that looked fresh. Ling Yue cut the bottom of her hair a little so that it did not cross the middle of her back. They sat side by side on the flight that afternoon. Several people from various departments concerned attended the inauguration ceremony tomorrow. Ling Yue was one of those who represent her legal team.
This newly established company is a company for the military and homeland service. Strict guarding was seen even before the opening ceremony. They have to go through several checks in order to enter the hotel, where the official opening ceremony will be held for the public. They stayed there before they could attend the top and private events of the company far away on the mountain. Ling Yue shared a room with the woman beside her named Cia Shaoyi. They only talked briefly. After that, they were busy, respectively. Ling Yue chose to spend her time wandering around. She took some photos of herself and sent it to the 'Ling Sibling' chat group with the caption: 'Ready to find a life companion.' which immediately made her three siblings protest.
The next day, Ling Yue attended the event in the hotel ballroom without any problems, then they were escorted to the top of the mountain in the afternoon. The highlight will be held tonight in the company yard. Two hours later the event was over. They returned to the bus.
On the middle of the road, the bus they were traveling in suddenly experienced an obstacle. The bus driver called for help but only a mini van arrived. Thirty-three people could not fit in the mini van. Finally, another mini van came and took turns transporting them. Ling Yue waited for her turn to enter, which did not arrive either. The van already full of people. Only she who has not been riding with the driver. Finally, Ling Yue let the two cars go and waited for the third time.
In between their waiting time, suddenly the driver said his stomach ache and left Ling Yue alone on the side of a quiet road. The perfunctory lighting makes the conditions look increasingly creepy. Five minute had passed and that driver didn't back yet.
"Hey, Mister! Are you not done yet?" she tried to soothing her feeling by talking but no one answer it. 'Why he's not answer me?'
She talked again. "They might come back soon, you know."
Eerie silence really scared her now. Holy shit! Ling Yue really hates ghost. Not the bad person she's afraid of now. She imagined something would emerge from behind the trees and drift towards her.
"Hey misteerr!" Ling Yue shouted once more.
Only the sounds of the night animals could be heard. Ling Yue suddenly wanted to cry. She crouched down, covered her ears with both hands and closed her eyes. If she can't run away hiding her body, Ling Yue hides her eyesight and hearing. That's what she does if those people start bullying her.
Someone touched her shoulder. Ling Yue trembled. She wants to peek but not dare enough. What if it's a headless person? or someone without a face? Something kept touching her shoulder, even shaking it.
Ling Yue slowly opened her eyes and she almost cried out in fear.
"You ... you scared me!"
The driver looked at her confused. "What's wrong with you, Miss?"
"Why didn't you answer when I called you?" she asked irritably.
Who will talk when they are pooping? the old man shook his head and sat back where he had been waiting. Finally a car walked closer and stopped in front of them. The window on the rear passenger seat came down and showed Xi Jian's face.
