Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Not long after, Dawei returned, and the four young people gathered together to celebrate Wang Chang's birthday.

That evening, Chen Jingyi called Ding Yang, asking him to come back, but Ding Yang declined again.

Ding Yang parked his car on an open space beside National Highway 107, smoking silently, unsure of what the future held, feeling utterly lost in life.

Open the laptop.

Chanjuan sent me a message.

"Fengyue, what have you been up to today?"

Ding Yang replied:

"I wasn't busy with anything, just spacing out a bit. We probably won't be able to chat anymore."

"What's wrong?"

"My Wi-Fi data plan has expired, and I don't want to renew it. I'm planning to leave Chang'an."

"Why are you suddenly deciding to leave Chang'an?"

"The fog is thick, the future is uncertain, I don't know where the road leads, and I'm very anxious."

Suddenly, the other party sent a voice chat request.

Ding Yang accepted.

"Hey handsome, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so sentimental?"

"Sister, you always go online to chat with me every night without fail. Don't you have anything else to do?"

"I work during the day, what could I possibly have to do at night? I don't work overtime."

"Fengyue, have you suddenly suffered some injustice? Or have you been drained dry by a rich woman?"

"Well, it's not that. It's just that I'm tired of it and want to change my environment and start a new life."

"So where are you planning to go?"

"I don't know, I haven't decided yet. It'll most likely be in some town in Dongguan."

"Fengyue, have you ever thought about coming to Shenzhen?"

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but the problem is, what could I do in Shenzhen? I don't want to go back to selling ducks at a hotel."

"Hehe, you want to turn over a new leaf?"

"Well, I guess so!"

"Excuse me for asking, what is your educational background?"

"Graduated from vocational high school!"

"With a vocational school diploma, finding a job shouldn't be too difficult."

"It's not hard to tighten screws in a factory, but it's not easy to find a decent job, especially factory work where the pay isn't much, so I'm not interested."

"Hey, want me to help you find a job?"

"Introduce me to a job? Are you going to keep me as a sugar daddy?"

"Come on, can't you be serious for once?"

Ding Yang chuckled and asked, "Excuse me for asking, but how long has it been since you've had marital relations?"

"Do you want to die? Why are you asking this?"

"Sister, we've been chatting for almost a month now, every night. Don't you ever tell me the truth? What can't I say? We haven't even met."

"It's been six or seven years."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't been divorced for long."

We had been separated before the divorce.

"Can you tell me why you want a divorce? Is it because he's having an affair, or what?"

"no."

"What is that?"

"It's nothing, why ask so many questions?"

"Oh no, could it be that he's impotent?"

"More or less."

"Damn, really, I was just talking nonsense."

"Okay, okay, I've told you everything. Now, tell me the truth, alright?"

"Alright, go ahead and ask. Consider it a game of truth or dare."

"What exactly were you doing in Chang'an? Don't tell me you were a gigolo, I don't believe you."

Why don't you believe me?

"We've been chatting every night lately, from 9:00 to 11:00 PM—that's prime time for entertainment venues. If you were really doing *that*, how would you have time to chat with me?"

Wow, you're pretty observant!

"Hmph, I saw through you, didn't I?"

"Well, you were right."

"So what exactly were you doing in Chang'an?"

"I bought a dump truck and run a transport business in Chang'an, moving bricks and hauling sand."

"oh!"

"Then why don't you want to do it anymore?"

"Business isn't good, and I feel like there's no future in it. The interpersonal relationships here are too complicated. Several women are pursuing me, like leeches, and I can't escape them no matter what. Plus, their parents know me, so I want to get away for a while."

"Come on, you have several girls chasing after you? Are you really that popular?"

"I'm not lying to you, but if you don't believe me, fine."

"Okay, I trust you!"

"Sister, this is the last time we'll chat here. I'm using a laptop, and the wireless network card costs 300 yuan a month. The card expires tomorrow, and I don't plan to renew it."

"Why aren't you renewing? Are you out of money?"

"More or less?"

"Then I'll renew your subscription."

"Thank you, but no need. It's not just about money. I'm living in my car now, feeling like a homeless person, and I don't want to continue like this."

"Fengyue, I'll be very bored if you don't go online, and I'll miss you."

What do you want me to do?

"We've been talking for so long, and I've been using you as a punching bag. What will I do if you suddenly stop talking to me?"

"Ugh, are you trying to scam me?"

"Hmm! I guess so."

"Fengyue, I want to see you."

"Stop joking, okay? We can just chat online, why would we meet in person?"

"I've never met you in person, but I miss you a little and want to see you. What will I do if you stop chatting online? I feel so upset right now."

"What are you going to do when you meet? Sleep with me?"

"Hate!"

"Actually, I've gotten used to chatting with you these past few days. We chat for two hours every night before going to sleep, and then I don't have as many worries."

"Hehe, can I come find you now?"

"Hey lady, it's already past 10 pm. You've come looking for me? Aren't you afraid I'll eat you alive?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"I'm in Chang'an, you're in Shenzhen, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I live in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, where there's no traffic congestion at night. It takes me at most an hour to drive to Chang'an."

"Wow, that's crazy, in the middle of the night?"

"It's only a little past 10 o'clock, it's still early. I'll be there by 11 o'clock."

Ding Yang was a little curious. What kind of woman was she?

"Hehe, then come on, I want to see if you're just trying to fool me."

"Why are you trying to fool me? Just send me your address and I'll come right away."

"I'm in Wusha, Chang'an, right next to National Highway 107, very close to the Kailai Hotel and Wusha Hospital."

"Okay, Fengyue, I'll log off my computer now and log into QQ on my phone. You can continue to send me text messages. I'll drive over right away. I'll take the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway; it should take me to Chang'an in an hour at most."

"Sister, you actually came?"

"Hmph, I'm coming over. I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I don't see you again."

"Come on, come on, I've been waiting for you. I've never been this crazy in all these years. Let me be crazy for once."

"Hehe! Okay, I'll go crazy with you too."

The voice call ended.

Chanjuan quickly touched up her makeup, grabbed her car keys and bag, and went out the door.

Ding Yang was speechless. Damn, he actually met someone he met online? This was like a first-time experience for a young woman. He was even a little excited.

Ding Yang opened the armrest box, took out an electric shaver, and shaved his beard.
