No one knows that Zhang Jiankun was using Wang Lixin's QQ to send messages, and even more so, they don't realize this class reunion is a trap for Yang Chen.
Seeing Wang Lixin say she's hosting, everyone eagerly responds.
Chen Yuwan: "Wang Lixin, your attitude is good. We were classmates after all, there's really no need to act like enemies."
Wu Tao: "The class beauty is inviting us, we definitely have to go."
Xia Yurou: "It's been over a year since we graduated, we really should get together."
...
When just starting high school, middle school reunions were often held, everyone would actively participate.
Later, when we went to college, we lost contact with our middle school classmates, but eagerly joined high school reunions.
By junior year, high school reunions weren't held anymore.
So Yang Chen understands what class reunions are about, they're purely a waste of time.
It's only now that we've just graduated that everyone still has the desire to get together.
After some time, when everyone's settled down, they'll definitely stop contacting each other.
So, Yang Chen has no intention of attending, especially since this reunion is organized by Wang Lixin and her scumbag partner, he has even less desire to go.
Yang Chen turned off his phone screen, took a sip of his energy drink, and got ready to work.
At this moment, the phone notified him of a QQ message from Xu Xiaowan.
Yang Chen opened it to take a look.
"Yang Chen, are you going to the reunion on Sunday?"
Just as Yang Chen was about to reply, Wang Lixin @ him in the group.
Yang Chen opened the group message to check.
Wang Lixin: "@Yang Chen, you have to come. The reunion has two purposes. First, to gather everyone. Second, I want to personally apologize to you. If you don't come, the event loses half its meaning."
Other classmates, eager for a free meal and a chance to see people they wish to see, urged Yang Chen to agree.
Chen Yuwan: "@Yang Chen, you must come. She's already admitted her mistake, you shouldn't keep holding onto grudges."
Wu Tao: "Right, right, right, we should all get together; don't be the one who messes it up."
Xia Yurou: "@Yang Chen, you have to come. If I don't see you at the reunion, I'll come pick you up. I'll tie you up if I have to."
...
Xu Xiaowan felt a pang of jealousy seeing Xia Yurou's message.
As college roommates, Xu Xiaowan knew that Xia Yurou liked Yang Chen back then too.
Now that everyone knows Yang Chen has broken up, it's clear from Xia Yurou's words that she's ready to make her move on Yang Chen.
Back then, many pursued Xu Xiaowan, but she always said she already had someone in her heart without revealing who.
Actually, the person in her heart was Yang Chen.
But Xu Xiaowan, being reserved, was too embarrassed to express her feelings.
Moreover, she felt that girls chasing boys seemed too desperate, plus Yang Chen had a girlfriend at the time, so she dared not reveal the person in her heart.
But now with Xia Yurou blatantly ready to make her move, Xu Xiaowan feels if she hesitates, she might never have the chance.
She can't wait for another five years hoping he'll break up again, can she?
Yang Chen doesn't even suspect it's a trap.
So, he replied.
"Let's see. If there's not much work that day, I'll go. I gotta get back to work, chat later."
Yang Chen opened Xu Xiaowan's message window, politely replied to her.
"Let's see."
Soon, Xu Xiaowan replied.
"Oh."
Yang Chen thought Xu Xiaowan was just casually asking, so he didn't reply further.
Staring at Yang Chen's QQ avatar, Xu Xiaowan got lost in thought.
She was wondering if she should make a move.
Yang Chen kept driving until 5 p.m., having ferried 10 passengers, all giving five-star ratings.
After all, normal customers are the majority, odd ones are rare.
Yang Chen was not one to deliberately cause trouble for bad reviews, so he had no additional gains all afternoon.
Having driven all day, Yang Chen felt exhausted, so he headed home.
After dinner and a shower, Yang Chen lay down on the bed to sleep.
Nearing ten o'clock, Yang Chen woke up.
Waking at this time, he knew he wouldn't be able to fall asleep again until around three or four in the morning.
Instead of lying in bed wasting time on TikTok, why not get up and drive? Maybe a bad review will take off.
Yang Chen changed clothes and went to work.
At this time, the sky started to drizzle.
Yang Chen mumbled happily: "The heavens are on my side. With this weather, there's no worry about orders."
It's raining outside, and ten o'clock is when people who went out at night should be heading home, so orders are indeed plentiful.
The platform pushed several orders, and Yang Chen chose the one nearest to him first.
Summer rain comes especially fast; it was just small raindrops earlier, but now it's a torrential downpour.
Yang Chen followed the navigation and arrived at the entrance of a karaoke bar.
He called the passenger through the platform and saw a girl standing at the entrance, who was the one who placed the order.
Yang Chen: "Hello, your Bibi car has arrived, could you please come over?"
Passenger: "It's raining heavily, how can I get there?"
To serve the passenger better, Yang Chen quickly replied: "Then wait there, I'll come to get you now."
After speaking, Yang Chen hung up the phone, grabbed an umbrella, and quickly walked over.
Yang Chen approached the customer and asked: "Hello, are you Ms. Zhang?"
The passenger nodded and said: "Oh dear, there's so much water on the ground; I can't walk across. How about you carry me over?"
Yang Chen's eyes widened in shock and quickly replied: "Sorry, unless you have difficulty walking, I don't provide such services."
The female passenger immediately extended her foot and said: "Look at this, my new shoes, Hongxing shoes. With so much water on the ground, how can I walk over without getting them wet? Aren't you guys driving ride-share to serve customers? You are a big man; what's wrong with carrying me? Many people want to carry me but haven't had the chance."
Damn, a typical delusional girl.
Yang Chen quickly responded: "Sorry, I don't offer that service. At most, here's an umbrella for you to walk over yourself."
The female passenger rolled her eyes at Yang Chen and muttered: "What attitude."
Then she grabbed the umbrella and quickly tiptoed to the car.
Yang Chen ran over in one breath, got in the car, and opened the door.
After getting in, the passenger threw the umbrella onto the seat beside her.
This action infuriated Yang Chen; anyone with a brain wouldn't do such a thing.
Yang Chen hurriedly picked up the umbrella, placed it on the floor, and wiped the water stains off the seat with a tissue.
"Miss, you can put the umbrella on the floor, not on the seat. Other passengers will find it inconvenient later." Yang Chen said.
The passenger immediately replied: "Do other passengers have anything to do with me? Drive quickly, less chatter! You've already made me very unhappy, and if you dare to make me more unhappy, I'll complain about you."
Oh man, another weird one.
Yang Chen buckled his seatbelt and said: "Hello, please buckle your seatbelt. We are now heading to Jing'an Home."
The female passenger remained indifferent.
Yang Chen didn't want to engage with her, so he drove on his own.
After more than ten minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of Jing'an Home.
"Miss, we have arrived. Please take your belongings with you, and I look forward to serving you again with Bibi Taxi." Yang Chen said politely.
The passenger glanced outside and said: "No way, there's too much water on the ground. I dirtied my shoes walking to the car earlier, I can't walk back myself. Drive me upstairs."
Yang Chen was instantly petrified; what kind of weirdo is this?
"Miss, this is a car, why are you asking me to drive it upstairs?" Yang Chen asked, speechless.
"There are puddles, it's raining, can't you see?" The passenger retorted stubbornly.
Yang Chen was helpless and replied: "I've already driven you to the entrance of the building unit, you can walk a few steps from there."
"I said drive me upstairs, driver! These shoes are new Hongxing sneakers; I queued for four hours to buy them, if they get wet or dirty, will you compensate me?" The passenger continued to argue.
"Miss, this is a ride-share car, Bibi Taxi, not an elevator. How can I drive you upstairs? I'm only responsible for getting you to the designated location, not providing upstairs service. Okay?" Yang Chen tried hard to endure.
"I don't care; you're in the service industry; you have to satisfy me. I'm extremely dissatisfied with you, understand?" The passenger said angrily.
"Isn't this unreasonable?" Yang Chen couldn't help but retort.
The female passenger immediately became aggressive, pointed at Yang Chen, and said: "Who are you calling unreasonable? What's your name? I'm going to complain about you; I'll call to complain right now!"
Yang Chen was also angry, couldn't stand such a ridiculous passenger anymore, and said: "Go ahead and complain! I'll call the police!"
The female passenger immediately asked: "Why are you calling the police? Huh? You're calling the police, what's the reason for calling the police?"
Yang Chen: "With the heavy rain at midnight, I thought I could take more orders, but all my time has been wasted by you. Can you please get off the car?"
Female Passenger: "I won't get off! If you don't drive me upstairs, I'm not getting off!"
Yang Chen: "Fine! Just don't get off! Come home with me! I won't pick up other passengers!"
The female passenger immediately got excited and grabbed Yang Chen's arm, asking: "Hey! Are you harassing me? Do you think just because you're handsome you can harass people? Don't leave; I'm definitely going to call the police to catch you!"
"Oh fine, call! Call! Call! Whoever doesn't call the police wasn't born by their parents!" Yang Chen said angrily.
Then, both took out their phones and called the police...
