Lin Yu didn't hide his actual situation.
He directly told Huang Feiya the truth.
He wanted her to clearly understand that his schedule for tomorrow was uncertain.
To this, Huang Feiya didn't seem surprised.
She spoke as if she had expected it all along:
"It's fine, I know you must be really busy normally."
"People with a lot of friends often don't have much free time."
"Someone like you, Lin Yu, values friendship a lot."
"You wouldn't even outright reject me when I needed you, let alone the people you're close to."
Huang Feiya's words were an indirect compliment to Lin Yu's character.
There was nothing wrong with what she said, and Lin Yu could feel it himself.
As his circle of friends grew larger, it seemed like he had everything under his control.
But thinking about it carefully, wasn't he also just being pushed forward by the pile of matters surrounding him?
Who was controlling whom really depended entirely on one's perspective.
"Feiya, you're right."
"So regarding the time, I might not be that punctual tomorrow."
Huang Feiya took out her phone, waved it in her hand, and said:
"It doesn't matter. Any time tomorrow is fine. I'll be waiting for you."
"As long as you have time, just make sure to think of me first."
Lin Yu secretly admired Huang Feiya in his heart.
To think she could go to such lengths!
Her tolerance was surprisingly high for someone who could flake on her at any moment.
Lin Yu asked himself, and knew he wasn't nearly as accommodating to others.
Since she had already put it that way, Lin Yu naturally couldn't refuse again.
The two of them made an agreement.
If Lin Yu had time tomorrow, he would definitely contact Huang Feiya.
"Lin Yu, take my car. I'll drop you off."
"If you're worried about being seen by people you know, I can park nearby."
As they were about to part ways, Huang Feiya offered to drive Lin Yu home.
In her words, she sounded so humble.
It made it impossible for anyone listening to refuse her request.
But at this hour, it really was quite possible to bump into people from his apartment building.
Just as he was hesitating, Huang Feiya spoke again:
"Speaking of which... it hasn't even been five hours since we met up, right?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Oh?
She could play it like that?
This meant that regardless of whether Lin Yu agreed or not, she had to drive him back.
Lin Yu had agreed to the bet, so it really was hard to refuse.
Now that she had brought it up directly, Lin Yu naturally had no choice but to obediently get in the car.
Huang Feiya's Porsche was the compact and luxurious type.
The interior space wasn't considered spacious, but one could tell its value just by looking at the features.
Before the two of them got into the car, Lin Yu suddenly remembered something and said anxiously:
"Wait a minute!"
"Didn't we both drink tonight?"
"How are you going to drive me back?"
"If you're the one driving, I think we should just forget it."
"I'll call a designated driver in the city to take you home."
The restaurant where they had dinner and the movie theater they just came from were in the same commercial district.
Therefore, they hadn't moved the car when transitioning from dinner to the movie theater.
It was only when it was time to leave that Lin Yu remembered this.
No matter how good Huang Feiya's driving skills were, or whether she could settle things if an accident happened, he absolutely would not participate in something he knew was drunk driving.
Crossing the red line was his absolute bottom line after his rebirth.
He cherished this chance at rebirth exceptionally well, and it was absolutely impossible for him to act like an outlaw and do things he knew were illegal.
Nowadays, using an app to call a designated driver wasn't that widespread yet.
However, within the city, you could still call a reliable designated driver service platform to arrange one.
The wait might be a bit longer, but at least it was safe.
There was absolutely no need to take risks when a problem could be easily solved.
Huang Feiya smiled and gave Lin Yu a thumbs-up, praising him:
"I am impressed by you all over again!"
"At your age, possessing such massive wealth, and you haven't let it get to your head?"
"That is incredibly rare!"
"It seems my judge of character was right on the mark."
Seeing Huang Feiya speak so casually, Lin Yu couldn't help but form a guess.
Could it be that Huang Feiya had even thought of the designated driver in advance?
Half-doubting, Lin Yu walked with Huang Feiya to the parking area.
Sure enough.
A designated driver wearing a uniform with a row of 7s on it was already waiting by the car.
"Feiya, when did you call the driver?"
"I didn't even notice!"
From dinner to the movie, the two of them had been together the whole time.
If Huang Feiya had made a phone call, Lin Yu definitely would have noticed.
Unless...
Before they even arrived, Huang Feiya had already arranged everything!
Huang Feiya smiled and said to Lin Yu:
"Although we couldn't be sure what time our dinner would end,"
"doesn't the movie start and finish at an exact time?"
"It is so late; it would be really hard to find a driver on the spot."
"I can tell at a glance that you don't drive often."
Lin Yu: "..."
Alright, alright.
Huang Feiya had hit the nail on the head.
Lin Yu really didn't drive often; in fact, it could be said that he had barely driven at all since his rebirth.
He had absolutely no idea how hard it was to find a designated driver late at night in this era.
He could only marvel at how truly confident Huang Feiya was.
She had arranged everything before even showing up.
She wasn't worried in the slightest that Lin Yu might reject her invitation at some point.
What if.
What if Lin Yu hadn't accepted the invitation to watch a movie together?
Wouldn't Huang Feiya's preparations have been for nothing?
Having gone on solo dates with so many girls,
today's date was the only time Lin Yu felt like he was being led by the nose.
Since the driver was already here, Lin Yu had no excuse not to get in the car.
He could only thank Huang Feiya for her kindness and follow her into the vehicle.
...
"The greatest heartache is loving too late~"
"Some feelings cannot wait for a certain day~"
"Blindly striving~ being busy is actually selfish~"
"Even in dreams I am used to it~ pressure forces me to succeed~"
"The most terrifying thing is that love needs to be timely~"
"Just one second late, and heartfelt words become history~"
"..."
Inside the car.
Huang Feiya's playlist was playing.
A song essentially about familial love, Love Too Late.
In the ears of a sentimental person, it added many complex emotions.
Sometimes, our expression of feelings is too bound by tangible forms.
Therefore.
We might miss out on many destined encounters in life.
Even just a second of hesitation could turn everything into history.
In Lin Yu's eyes, Huang Feiya was supposed to be a trendy and fashionable girl.
He didn't expect
that she would actually have such an old song on her playlist.
People are inherently complex and multifaceted.
In any random, fleeting moment, one might notice the subtle emotions of the people around them.
"Lin Yu..."
Huang Feiya, who had been looking out the window, suddenly called Lin Yu's name softly.
The lights in the back seat were not turned on.
Yet, Lin Yu could see a crystalline glimmer in her eyes.
"Can I borrow your shoulder to lean on for a bit?"
Huang Feiya said, her voice trembling slightly.
