Early in the morning, Hai and Qiang woke up to find Xiaoling sleeping in the car's backseat with Weisheng's robe on her. Weisheng had also packed the car with their luggage. The couple had just woken up to see them all ready to leave. Weisheng mentioned they were in a hurry and excused himself from the couple. That way, they wouldn't be forced to have breakfast there. Weisheng forced Hai and Qiang into the car and asked the driver to proceed. He said they could have breakfast on the way. No one disagreed.
On their way, everyone was quiet in the car. Hai and Qiang kept gesturing to each other using their eyes. They had so many questions. Why was Xiaoling sleeping in the car? Why did Weisheng look more tired and sleepier than yesterday?
The highway was clear of snow, so the driver sped up as well. Hai cleared his throat loudly, trying to get Weisheng's attention. But every time he looked back at Weisheng, he was busy staring at Xiaoling.
