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

"My ex-husband came to Shenzhen and opened a small factory with a friend. After things stabilized, I quit my job and came here to be with him."

"I even gave up my secure job for him, but we still got divorced in the end."

"Is he having an affair?"

"No, it would be better if he had an affair; he's ruined."

"How old is he?"

"He's nine years older than me, and he's 50 this year."

"Oh, that's quite a bit older than you."

"Um!"

Where is your child?

"I attend a private school and live on campus. I stay home on Friday nights and Saturdays, but live at school during the week."

"oh!"

"His divorce is a denial of his past mistakes; he can just find someone else."

"Sigh, where can I find a suitable one? Besides, I have a child, so I'm not in a hurry to find one."

"Yes, that's true! Not many people would want to be Dorgon."

"Xiaoyang, tell me about yourself. How many relationships have you been in?"

"I really can't answer that question."

"Did you talk too much? Can't you remember?"

"no!"

"I've had two serious talks. One in Changsha, and another in Shenzhen not long ago."

"Tell me about it!"

"I work at KFC in Changsha. I was dating a college student, but she cheated on me because she thought I was poor. I was cheated on."

"I didn't talk to her for very long in Shenzhen. She's a rich woman and she's very good to me. I'm definitely interested in her."

"As for the rest, they are all just passersby in this world. I did have some flirting, but those were just scenery along the way. I would only glance at them occasionally and didn't care about them."

"Xiaoyang, are you afraid of being alone?"

"Loneliness isn't about not being able to find a partner, but about losing interest in casual flings. Finding a woman isn't difficult, but finding someone who can truly enter your heart is incredibly hard."

"Love is a strange thing. The more people you date, the more numb you become, and eventually you become more and more confused, not knowing how to choose, and you may even forget your original intentions and not know what you really want."

"Later on, when you really like a girl and want to be serious, you'll find that you no longer have the courage, and that's the most tragic thing."

"Therefore, don't date too much. The more you date, the more you'll find that you've become numb, a walking corpse, devoid of emotion. You've hurt the other person and worn yourself down as well."

"Perhaps you're right, at least I haven't dated anyone else yet."

"Sister, it's past one o'clock. Since you're not planning to go to the hotel, why don't you go to sleep? I'll move the seat back a little so you can sleep in the back row."

"You're shorter than me, so you can just fit in here."

Suddenly, Wang Chan moved closer to Ding Yang.

"Pop!"

He kissed Ding Yang on the cheek.

"Sister, please stop being a pervert. If I lose control and ruin you, don't blame me."

"Ugh! You got off easy."

Wang Chan climbed onto the sleeper berth behind the driver's seat.

"Xiaoyang, am I really going to sleep now?"

"Go to sleep, I can just rest my head on the steering wheel and take a nap."

"Um!"

Ding Yang turned off the cab light, leaving the cab completely dark except for the faint light from the streetlights outside.

Ding Yang opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and looked somewhat lost.

"Xiao Yang, are you still smoking so late?"

"Sister, did the smell bother you? I opened the car window."

"No, no, I don't object to men smoking, it's just that it's bad for their health if it's too late."

"Sister, what I'm smoking isn't cigarettes, it's loneliness. I feel lost and powerless, with no hope for the future."

Unexpectedly, Wang Chan suddenly wrapped her arms around Ding Yang's head and leaned forward.

Ding Yang turned his head away.

"Waaah..."

Their lips met, and they shared a deep, passionate kiss...

"..."

"Xiao Yang..."

"Sister, stop..."

"Phew, calm down."

"Xiaoyang, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I don't want to hurt you, let's just stop here."

"Um!"

"Sister, you go to sleep. The driver's seat is too small. I'll sit in the back of your car for a bit, and you can unlock it with the key."

"Um!"

Ding Yang got out of the car and sat in the back seat of the BMW, trying to calm himself down.

Unexpectedly, about ten minutes later, Wang Chan also got out of the car, opened the back door of the BMW, and got in.

"Sister, why aren't you asleep?"

"I'm a little scared sleeping alone in your car."

"Click!"

Wang Chan locked the car door from the inside and leaned against Ding Yang's chest.

"Xiaoyang, hug me."

Ding Yang raised his hand and put it around her.

"Sister, I don't want to hurt you, please calm down."

"Xiaoyang, I'm afraid that after tomorrow dawn, we won't be able to see each other anymore. I have a heavy burden on my heart and some secrets to hide, but I can't tell them."

"No! Don't worry."

"Waaah..."

"elder sister……"

"..."

It was late at night, and the outside was pitch black. The rear seats of the BMW were cramped.

"what……"

"Xiao Yang..."

……

The night outside the window became hazy through the glass, and inside the carriage, only the agonizing sound of the train continued.

The air suspension silently testifies to the difficulty of its operation.

……

Since we parted, I recall our meeting; how many times have my soul and dreams been with you? Tonight, I'll light the silver lamp again, still fearing that our meeting is but a dream.

It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Wang Chan opened her eyes and found herself leaning against Ding Yang's chest.

"Sister, you're awake."

"Um!"

"Sister, put your clothes on, let's talk."

"Um!"

...

"Sister, I'm so sorry..."

"Xiaoyang, don't say that. It was me who took the initiative. I like you."

"Sister, I don't want to hurt you. To be honest, it all feels like a dream, and I'm already starting to regret it."

"Xiaoyang, will you come to Shenzhen with me?"

"I don't want to go. What could I do there?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted me to support you? I'm willing, as long as you're willing to stay by my side."

"Sister, thank you, but that was just a joke. How could I, a grown man, survive if I were supported by a woman?"

"Xiaoyang, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I don't need it right now. I'll contact you again if I really need it."

"Xiaoyang, what's your phone number?"

"Sister, let's not exchange numbers. Let's forget about last night. We're not compatible. Chatting online is just two lonely hearts colliding, but it's not love. Let's erase this memory from each other's minds."

"What, are you really going to pull up your pants and then deny everything?"

"No, I'm afraid of causing you even more harm. To be honest, even if we were together, I could never marry you; it would only hurt you."

"Hmph, I'd rather."

Just then, Ding Yang's phone rang.

"Hey! Old Cai!"

"Xiaoyang, are you awake?"

"Get up, what's wrong?"

"Get me 3000 red bricks, two tons of cement, and two truckloads of sand. Go to Lianhua Mountain. The wall around the factory is a bit crooked and might collapse, so it needs to be repaired. Bring the materials over; I need to work this afternoon. The factory needs to speed up production, and if the wall collapses and something happens, it'll be a real problem."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone,

"Sister, I have to go to work. Why don't you go back to Shenzhen first? There's not even a place to wash your face and rinse your mouth here."
