New Year’s Eve (2)

Things quieted down inside the car. Mu Yuchen was still driving and he glanced over at her when the woman did not say anything for quite some while. He noticed something.

She was staring at a number on her phone, seeming distracted as a complicated expression appeared on her face. It was as if she was struggling.

"Just call that number. Hesitating isn't going to help." He nudged her as though he understood her inner struggles. Stunned, Xi Xiaye turned around and gaped at him in shock.

"You know who I wanted to call?" She blurted out.

"Why wouldn't I?" He replied calmly as he slowed the car down.

Xi Xiaye sighed on the inside. She almost forgot that the man's eyes were all-seeing. Sometimes, she realized he could see through everything about her, yet until now she was unable to look at him openly…

She hesitated for another brief moment before calling the number.
