This is the trouble with not having a car.
Liu Die and Su Wen tried to hail a taxi on the street for a long time, but the taxi drivers, seeing Xie Xiaoman who looked like a lump of mud, feared trouble and chose to refuse the fare.
Seeing that it was getting later, Su Wen thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, Liu Die, your place isn't that far away. I'll just carry her back for you."
"Bai Kemeng and Ding Yingying, you might as well stay at a hotel nearby tonight. I reckon we won't make it back."
There was a fair distance from the city center to the bus station, and by the time they got there, the bus station might not even have any buses back to the countryside.
"We might as well go with you, Su Wen," said Bai Kemeng, clearly unwilling to trust Su Wen with Liu Die alone. She was extremely wary.
