Gu Yu gripped the steering wheel tightly as his frown deepened. His eyes revealed his inner turmoil for a moment before his grip loosened, his eyes shutting in exhaustion.

After approximately half a minute, he opened his eyes again, found his phone, and made a call.

–

His assistant drove in a taxi by the beachside for a long while before he finally located Xu Weilai.

She was crouching by the side of the road, with her face buried in her hands. Huge droplets of tears streamed down from between her fingers. She was clearly crying out in desolation, and yet not a single sound left her mouth.

As he watched her, he suddenly recalled the saying, “the greatest sorrow is silence…”

The snowfall had gotten heavier as more snowflakes landed in her hair. He had no idea how long she’d been there for, but her whole body was covered in a layer of white snow. Just looking at her was enough to make him shiver!

He sighed inwardly and lowered his cap, ensuring it covered most of his face before he rolled the window down. He deliberately deepened his voice as he said to Xu Weilai, “Miss, do you need a taxi?”

The assistant stole a glance from the rearview mirror. From the moment Xu Weilai entered the taxi, she had stopped crying. But her eyes remained dim and hopeless. Her demeanor at that point was even more worrisome than when she had been crying moments before.

However, in that instant, he was merely playing the role of a taxi driver who was unacquainted with her, and whatever words of consolation he had for her couldn’t be voiced.

The roads were empty at night, and the traffic was smooth. They reached the downtown area very quickly.

As they passed by a 24-hour convenience store, Xu Weilai’s voice suddenly rang out hoarsely, “Sir, could you please stop here for a moment? I would like to buy a bottle of water from the convenience store.”

She had been crying for so long. It was only natural that she’d feel thirsty, and the assistant didn’t hesitate as he stopped the car by the side of the road.

“Thank you. Please wait for a while.”
